Abstract
Transplantation-related bacterial infections often slow new tissue regeneration and even cause transplant failure. Sonodynamic therapy is a promising antibacterial method, which kills bacteria by triggering sonosensitizers to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nevertheless, the generation efficiency of ROS is hindered by the fast electron-hole pair recombination in sonosensitizers and the hypoxic of bacteria microenvironment. Herein, ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru NPs) are grown in-situ on the oxygen vacancies-rich barium titanate nanoparticles (BTOv NPs) to form a Schottky heterojunction. The resulting BTOv-Ru NPs as sonosensitizers is uniformly distributed with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) powders to fabricate ultrasound-responsive scaffolds via selective laser sintering. On the one hand, the Schottky heterojunction facilitates electron injection from BTOv to Ru, while the resultant charge separation significantly suppresses electron-hole recombination. On the other hand, the catalase-like activity of Ru catalyzes the overexpressed hydrogen peroxide to generate O2 to achieve O2 self-supply. This not only alleviates hypoxia but also facilitates the oxygen vacancies of BTOv adsorb more O2 to generate ROS. The results confirmed PLLA/BTOv-Ru scaffold generated numerous ROS and exhibited excellent antibacterial effects under ultrasonic irradiation, with inhibiting E. coli (89.3 %) and S. aureus (88.1 %). This O2 self-supplying sonodynamic therapy shows great promise in antibacterial treatment.
期刊介绍:
Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces is an international journal devoted to fundamental and applied research on colloid and interfacial phenomena in relation to systems of biological origin, having particular relevance to the medical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food and cosmetic fields.
Submissions that: (1) deal solely with biological phenomena and do not describe the physico-chemical or colloid-chemical background and/or mechanism of the phenomena, and (2) deal solely with colloid/interfacial phenomena and do not have appropriate biological content or relevance, are outside the scope of the journal and will not be considered for publication.
The journal publishes regular research papers, reviews, short communications and invited perspective articles, called BioInterface Perspectives. The BioInterface Perspective provide researchers the opportunity to review their own work, as well as provide insight into the work of others that inspired and influenced the author. Regular articles should have a maximum total length of 6,000 words. In addition, a (combined) maximum of 8 normal-sized figures and/or tables is allowed (so for instance 3 tables and 5 figures). For multiple-panel figures each set of two panels equates to one figure. Short communications should not exceed half of the above. It is required to give on the article cover page a short statistical summary of the article listing the total number of words and tables/figures.
