The present study evaluated the hemostatic efficacy and handling of gelatin-thrombin matrix hemostatic sealant during intracranial procedures. A retrospective analysis of 478 consecutive patients undergoing intracranial procedures identified seven patients with acute intense or persistent intraoperative bleeding which could not be arrested in time by standard hemostatic methods. The efficacy of...

The article is devoted to the study of influence technological factors on change in structural and mechanical properties protracted aerated candy masses based whey proteins. combined protein hydrocolloid systems formation whipped “soft nougatines” type with increased aggregative stability was determined. It has been established that use gelatin-gum arabic structurant composition improves protei...

This study deals with the effect of gelatin on physical and mechanical properties of  calcium phosphate bone cements. The mixture of tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) and dicalcium phosphate (DCPA) as the cement powder was mixed with 6 wt% Na2HPO4 solution containing different amount (0, 2, 5 and 8% in w/w) of foamed gelatin as liquid phase. The physical properties were determined in the terms of s...

milk-based dairy desserts have important role in human diet because of their nutritional values. the aims of this study were to investigate the effect of hull-less barley malt flour and gelatin adding on different aspects of dairy dessert with the goal of increasing nutritional value and quality parameters. desserts were prepared by different gelatin concentration (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2%) and ...

results gelatin films exhibited good tensile strength and elongation at break, water solubility, swelling, and water vapor permeability. incorporation of tam into the gelatin films caused a significant decrease in tensile strength and swelling, and a significant increase in elongation at break, water solubility, water vapor permeability and whiteness of the films. gelatin films exhibited low an...

HITHERTO Staphylococcus aureus has not been grown in media of completely known chemical composition. With a medium in which most of the nutrients were known (amino-acids and glucose) it has been necessary to add a supplement, quantitatively very small but qualitatively essential, before growth can occur. The necessity for the supplement was first shown by Hughes [1932] and later by Knight [1935...

Fabricating ideal scaffolds for bone tissue engineering is a great challenge to researchers. To better mimic the mineral component and the microstructure of natural bone, several kinds of materials were adopted in our study, namely gelatin, polycaprolactone (PCL), nanohydroxyapatite (nHA), and bone powder. Three types of scaffolds were fabricated using electrospinning; gelatin/PCL, gelatin/PCL/...

Calcium phosphate- (CaP-) based composite scaffolds have been used extensively for the bone regeneration in bone tissue engineering. Previously, we developed a biomimetic composite nanofibrous membrane of gelatin/β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and confirmed their biological activity in vitro and bone regeneration in vivo. However, how these composite nanofibers promote the osteogenic differentiat...

Actinidin was used to pretreat the bovine hide and ultrasonic wave (53 kHz and 500 W) was used for the time durations of 2, 4 and 6 h at 60 °C to extract gelatin samples (UA2, UA4 and UA6, respectively). Control (UAC) gelatin was extracted using ultrasound for 6 h at 60 °C without enzyme pretreatment. There was significant (p < 0.05) increase in gelatin yield as the time duration of ultrasound ...

To develop a piroxicam-loaded gelatin microcapsule with enhanced bioavailability, a gelatin microcapsule encapsulated ethanol and piroxicam has been formulated by using gelatin as a water-soluble polymer shell. The aqueous solubility and bioavailability of piroxicam in piroxicam-loaded microcapsule in rats were then evaluated compared to piroxicam powder. The piroxicam-loaded gelatin microcapsu...
