    Abstract The use of microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) technology can improve the mechanical properties of silty clay, and glutinous rice paste can enhance microbial activity, improve the conversion rate of CaCO3 precipitation, and help increase soil strength. An MICP solidification test of silty clay was carried out by adding different concentrations of aged glutinous rice slurry and cementing liquid, and unconfined compressive strength tests and scanning electron microscope analysis of the solidified samples were carried out. The strength growth mechanism of the glutinous rice paste was investigated, and the results revealed that glutinous rice slurry can improve the enzymatic activity of microorganisms, that is, the microorganisms can produce more urease to decompose urea, and as the amount of urease increases, the concentration of the cementing solution increases, and the calcium carbonate generated by the MICP precipitates. When the concentration of the added cooked glutinous rice slurry was 5%, the unconfined compressive strength of the soil was the largest. In addition, the scanning electron microscope analysis revealed that cooled glutinous rice slurry can be used as a bridge to generate a large amount of ineffective carbonic acid. Calcium atoms are connected together to form effective calcium carbonate, which fills in the pores of the soil as a whole, increasing the compactness of the soil and greatly improving its macroscopic mechanical strength.

    Abstract The restrictive nature of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) prevents efficient treatment of many brain diseases. Focused ultrasound in combination with microbubbles has shown to safely and transiently increase BBB permeability. Here, the potential of Acoustic Cluster Therapy (ACT®), a microbubble platform specifically engineered for theranostic purposes, to increase the permeability of the BBB and improve accumulation of IRDye® 800CW-PEG and core-crosslinked polymeric micelles (CCPM) in the murine brain, was studied. Contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed increased BBB permeability in all animals after ACT®. Near infrared fluorescence (NIRF) images of excised brains 1 h post ACT® revealed an increased accumulation of the IRDye® 800CW-PEG (5.2-fold) and CCPM (3.7-fold) in ACT®-treated brains compared to control brains, which was retained up to 24 h post ACT®. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) showed improved extravasation and penetration of CCPM into the brain parenchyma after ACT®. Histological examination of brain sections showed no treatment related tissue damage. This study demonstrated that ACT® increases the permeability of the BBB and enhances accumulation of macromolecules and clinically relevant nanoparticles to the brain, taking a principal step in enabling improved treatment of various brain diseases.

    Abstract Polymeric micelles (PMs) are promising platforms for enhanced tissue targeting of entrapped therapeutic agents. Strategies to circumvent premature release of entrapped drugs include cross-linking of the micellar core as well as covalent attachment of the drug cargo. The chemistry employed to obtain cross-linked micelles needs to be mild to also allow entrapment of fragile molecules, such as certain peptides, proteins, oligonucleotides, and fluorescent dyes. Native chemical ligation (NCL) is a mild bio-orthogonal reaction between a

    Abstract Treatment with chemotherapy such as docetaxel (DTX) is associated with significant toxicity and tumour recurrence. In this study, we developed DTX-entrapped core-cross-linked polymeric micelles (DTX-CCL-PMs, 66 nm size) by covalently conjugating DTX to CCL-PMs via a hydrolysable ester bond. The covalent conjugation allowed for sustained release of DTX under physiological conditions in vitro. In vivo, DTX-CCL-PMs demonstrated superior therapeutic efficacy in mice bearing MDA-MB-231 tumour xenografts as compared to the marketed formulation of DTX (Taxotere®). Strikingly, a single intravenous injection of DTX-CCL-PMs enabled complete regression of both small (∼150 mm3) and established (∼550 mm3) tumours, leading to 100% survival of the animals. These remarkable antitumour effects of DTX-CCL-PMs are attributed to its enhanced tumour accumulation and anti-stromal activity. Furthermore, DTX-CCL-PMs exhibited superior tolerability in healthy rats as compared to Taxotere. These preclinical data strongly support clinical translation of this novel nanomedicinal product for the treatment of cancer.
