“…Selenium is a photoelectrically active semiconductor where its uses include xerography, glass production, and solar cell assembly [ 14 ]. In comparison to Se compounds, elemental Se in nano size [Se nanoparticles (SeNPs)] has emerged as a new study target, since it has been discovered to have coloring capabilities [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ] as well as antimicrobial, antitumor, antioxidant, and antibiofilm properties [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 ]. Moreover, SeNPs exhibited low cytotoxicity [ 15 , 24 ].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly shown the importance of developing advanced protective equipment, and new antiviral fabrics for the protection and prevention of life-threatening viral diseases are needed. In this study, selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) were combined with polyester fabrics using printing technique to obtain multifunctional properties, including combined antiviral and antibacterial activities as well as coloring. The properties of the printed polyester fabrics with SeNPs were estimated, including tensile strength and color fastness. Characterization of the SeNPs was carried out using TEM and SEM. The results of the analysis showed good uniformity and stability of the particles with sizes range from 40–60 nm and 40–80 nm for SeNPs 25 mM and 50 mM, respectively, as well as uniform coating of the SeNPs on the fabric. In addition, the SeNPs—printed polyester fabric exhibited high disinfection activity against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) with an inhibition percentage of 87.5%. Moreover, a toxicity test of the resulting printed fabric revealed low cytotoxicity against the HFB4 cell line. In contrast, the treated fabric under study showed excellent killing potentiality against Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus cereus) and Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, and Escherichia coli). This multifunctional fabric has high potential for use in protective clothing applications by providing passive and active protection pathways.

“…Due to the large surface areas, textiles have superior abilities to retain warmth, moisture, and nutrients from spillages and exudates, making them ideal substrates for microorganisms to grow on [ 2 ]. Some studies have suggested that healthcare textiles can act as reservoirs and vehicles for the spread of microorganisms in hospitals [ 3 ]. With the development of nanotechnology, some inorganic nanoparticles (NPs), such as silver, copper, and zinc, have been identified as promising candidates in combating pathogenic microorganisms [ 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ].…”

“…Biswas et al [ 17 ] prepared silver or selenium nanoparticles on polymeric scaffolds and compared the cytotoxicity of the scaffolds towards mouse fibroblasts using an indirect contact method; the results indicated that the Ag-loaded scaffolds showed high cytotoxicity, while the Se-loaded scaffolds were not toxic to the cells. The low cytotoxicity of SeNPs indicates the great potential for use in biomedical applications [ 3 ]. The research on SeNPs as antimicrobial agents is still limited.…”

In this study, we developed a new approach for depositing selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) into polypropylene (PP) fabrics via a one-step process under hydrothermal conditions by using an IR-dyeing machine to incorporate several functionalities, mainly coloration, antibacterial activity and ultraviolet (UV) protection. The formation, size distribution, and dispersion of the SeNPs were determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV/Vis), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the color strength, fastness, antibacterial properties, and UV protection of the treated fabrics were also explored. The UV-Vis spectra and TEM analysis confirmed the synthesis of spherical well-dispersed SeNPs and the XRD analysis showed the successful deposition of SeNPs into PP fabrics. The obtained results demonstrate that the SeNPs-PP fabrics is accompanied by a noticeable enhancement in measurements of color strength, fastness, and UV-protection factor (UPF), as well as excellent antibacterial activity. Viability studies showed that SeNPs-PP fabrics are non-toxic against wi-38cell line. In addition, the treated SeNPs-PP fabrics showed an increase in conductivity. The obtained multifunctional fabrics are promising for many industrial applications such as the new generation of curtains, medical fabrics, and even automotive interior parts.

Cisplatin (DDP) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent that plays an unsubstitutable role in treating various tumors. However, it is crucial to identify solutions and alternatives for DDP-mediated renal injury. This acute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by the occurrence of ferroptosis, which is defined as an iron-catalyzed regulatory necrosis mediated by excessive lipid peroxidation. To solve this problem, we concentrate on the potential function of nanoparticles to devise a new technique to prevent DDP-induced kidney injury. Selenium nanoparticles (Se NPs) containing the trace element, selenium, have been shown to exhibit strong oxidation resistance. However, the ability of Se NPs to treat DDP-induced kidney injury remains largely unexplored. Here, we elaborate the role of our self-developed Se/Albumin nanoparticles (Se/Albumin NPs, SA NPs) in alleviating DDP-induced acute kidney damage using a murine model. Mice with acute kidney injury (AKI) had significantly impaired renal function and reduced body weight. Hematoxylin–eosin staining (H&E) and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining, which was carried out to determine the extent of the morphological changes in renal tubules, revealed severe interstitial edema. Further studies revealed an increase in malonaldehyde (MDA), a decrease in superoxide dismutase (SOD), and reduced glutathione (GSH) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) levels in the renal tubule tissues and cells under an electron microscope, thereby indicating pro-apoptotic changes. Moreover, the levels of ferroptosis-related proteins glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) andferroportin1 (FPN1) decreased while those of transferrin and ACSL4 increased. Our study reveals that SA NPs are more potent at ameliorating these damages than Se NPs. In all, the results suggest that the SA NPs reduce DDP-induced AKI by inhibiting ferroptosis, indicating the potential therapeutic role of SA NPs in acute renal damage.
