Abstract Exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is associated with oxidative stress and inflammation, soreness, reductions in function. Cocoa flavanols (CF) are (poly)phenols antioxidant anti-inflammatory effects thus may attenuate symptoms of EIMD. The purpose this narrative review was to collate evaluate the current literature investigating effect CF supplementation on markers exercise-induced...

As a new preparation process of nanofibers, electrospinning technology developed by bionic spider spinning can further improve the molecular structure and mechanical properties obtain nanofibers base membrane products with better properties. The needs minimal energy consumption though it has very long liquid transport tube. Because silk high wide industrial applications, so kind biomimetic whic...

Poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic with distinctive combination of corrosion resistance, thermo-oxidative stability and outstanding physical mechanical properties at high temperatures. A pertinent step forward in the development this has been inclusion electrically conductive fillers to expand its functionality. In review an overview research on PEEK composites ...

Electrolyte-gated organic transistors (EGOTs) are emerging as an important tool in advanced biosensing applications. However, their widespread exploitation is still limited by poor operational stability. In order to understand the causes of this unreliability, proposed study focuses on influence electrical bias stress (EBS) EGOTs operating aqueous electrolytes. Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)- an...

A thermoelectric material can convert temperature difference into electrical potential difference. Today, intensive researches are being carried out in order to use flexible, non-toxic and inexpensive conductive polymers instead of hard, hard-to-shape, expensive toxic semiconductor metals used as materials. Among the investigated for this purpose, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is mos...

As reported in Part I ("In vivo testing of crosslinked polyethers. I. Tissue reactions and biodegradation," J. Biomed. Mater. Res., this issue, pp. 307-320), microscopical evaluation after implantation of crosslinked (co)polyethers in rats showed differences in the rate of biodegradation, depending on the presence of tertiary hydrogen atoms in the main chain and the hydrophilicity of the polyet...

Oxidative DNA damage accumulates with age and is repaired primarily via the base excision repair (BER) pathway. This process is initiated by DNA glycosylases, which remove damaged bases in a substrate-specific manner. The DNA glycosylases human 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase (OGG1) and NEIL1, a mammalian homolog ofEscherichia coli endonuclease VIII, have overlapping yet distinct substrate specifi...

Cumulative evidence has indicated a critical role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 activation in ischemic brain damage. Poly(ADP-ribose) glycohydrolase (PARG) is a key enzyme in poly(ADP-ribose) catabolism. Our previous studies showed that PARG inhibitors, gallotannin (GT) and nobotanin B, can profoundly decrease oxidative cell death in vitro. Here, we tested the hypothesis that intranasal deli...

In tissue engineering, excessively generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) during biomaterial implantation or cell transplantation is a one of major causes diminishing therapeutic effects. this study, we prepared surfaces coated with antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and metal ions, evaluated their anti-oxidative ROS scavenging properties. We revealed that EGCG-coating on polycaprolac...
