Background: Periodontitis, one of the most common oral diseases caused by bacterial infection which affects gums, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, is a leading cause tooth loss in adults. Current clinical treatments, such as scaling or antibiotics, often result incomplete biofilm removal can contribute to drug resistance. Methods: To address these limitations, nanozyme comprising platinum, copper, selenium was developed, then incorporated into thermoresponsive hydrogel. Results: When applied pockets exposed 808 nm laser irradiation, hydrogel became soft, dissolving release nanozyme. This demonstrated superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like catalase (CAT)-like activity, reducing excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) while displaying strong antibacterial anti-inflammatory effects. Conclusion: photothermal showed excellent biocompatibility has potential overcome challenges current periodontitis treatments. Keywords: thermosensitive, therapy, hydrogel,

Antioxidants have a well-established effect on general health and are essential in preventing oxidative damage to cells by scavenging free radicals. Free radicals thought be neutralized these substances, which include polyphenols, β-carotene, vitamins C E, reducing cellular damage. On the other hand, recent data indicates that consuming excessive amounts of antioxidants may side effects. Apoptosis cell signaling two beneficial physiological processes affected supplementation. Other negative effects paradoxical enhancement stress unbalanced redox potential. Overdosing particular has been associated with increased medication interactions, cancer progression, fatality risks. Additionally, complex impacts they fertility might both useful adverse, depending quantity duration usage. This review delves into dual role emphasizes importance employing moderation. Antioxidant overconsumption disrupt balance necessary for normal sperm oocyte function, is one potential males females also investigated. Although modest usage generally safe useful, high levels can upset hormonal balance, impair motility, negatively impact outcomes assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The findings emphasize need use antioxidant supplements balanced way, further research optimize their treatments, supporting avoid adverse

Radiotherapy (RT) is widely applied in tumor therapy, but inevitable side effects, especially for skin radiation injury, are still a fatal problem and life-threatening challenge patients. The main components of topical protection preparations currently available on the market antioxidants, such as SOD, which limited by their unstable activity short duration action, making it difficult to achieve effects damage treatment. Therefore, we designed drug-free antioxidant hydrogel patch with encapsulated bioactive epidermal growth factor (EGF) treatment injury. X-ray responsive formed copolymerization disulfide-containing hyperbranched poly(β-hydrazide ester) macromer polymer (PBAE), methacryloylated hyaluronic acid, acrylamide exhibits continuous through oxidation disulfide bonds PBAE well triggered release EGF after breakage network finally promote radioactive wound healing. Upon radiotherapy, able alleviate local oxidative stress continuously eliminating excessive ROS can prevent deterioration Moreover, its excellent property overcome disadvantages traditional medicine (such poor solubility, random diffusion, rapid drug clearance, interference efficacy). Notably, negligible effect therapy because acts only epidermis displays no shielding ionization radiation. Ultimately, vivo animal studies affirm efficacy our methodology, wherein administration acute irradiated attenuates progression injury promotes This innovative strategy points out new inspiration precise hydrogels.

Abstract Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifaceted ocular surface disorder that significantly impacts patients’ daily lives and imposes substantial economic burden on society. Oxidative stress, induced by the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS), critical factor perpetuating inflammatory cycle in DED. Effectively scavenging ROS essential to impede progression In this study, boronophenylalanine‐ containing polydopamine (PDA‐PBA) nanoparticles are developed loaded with melatonin (MT), which blended poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) create drops PVA/ PDA‐PBA@MT (PPP@MT). vitro vivo studies demonstrate PPP@MT exhibits dual functionalities reducing production downregulating pathways, thereby preserving mitochondrial integrity further inhibiting programmed cell death. Following treatment, tear secretion, corneal structure, number goblet cells markedly restored mouse model dry eye, indicating therapeutic efficacy agent. Collectively, PPP@MT, characterized minimal side effects favorable bioavailability, offers promising insights for management DED other ROS‐mediated disorders.
