Binding Chitosan Cross-Linked with Dimethylol dihydroxyethylene Urea onto Nylon 66 Fibres for Burn Scar Management

Hypertrophic Burn Scar Evolution and Management

Burn injury outcome has improved significantly in recent years in relation to survival and patient rehabilitation. However, scarring and its accompanying aesthetic and functional sequelae still remain a major problem. The burn injury is characterized by unique differences in the nature of tissue trauma, the pathophysiologic response to that trauma and the molecular events that impact on the evo...

Palladium nanoparticles captured onto spherical silica particles using a urea cross-linked imidazolium molecular band.

Palladium nanoparticles were captured onto spherical silica particles using a molecular band composed of imidazolium chloride and urea moieties to form raspberry-like Pd@SiO2 composites, which can be recovered and reused without any loss of catalytic activity in Suzuki-Miyaura coupling.

Burn scar neoplasm.

Marjolin's ulcer is a rare and aggressive cutaneous malignancy that occurs in previously traumatized and chronically inflamed skin, especially after burns. The majority of burn scar carcinomas are seen after a lag period in burns that were not grafted following injury. Between 2000 and 2006, 48 patients with Marjolin's ulcer were treated in our centre (Sulaimani Teaching Hospital and Emergency ...

Genipin cross-linked electrospun chitosan-based nanofibrous mat as tissue engineering scaffold

Objective(s): To improve water stability of electrospun chitosan/ Polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers, genipin, a biocompatible and nontoxic agent, was used to crosslink chitosan based nanofibers.  Materials and Methods: Different amounts of genipin were added to the chitosan/PEO solutions, chitosan/PEO weight ratio 90/10 in 80 % acetic acid, and the solutions were then electrospun to form nano...
