PURPOSE A number of researchers have suggested the use of sodium hyaluronate carboxymethyl cellulose (HA-CMC) membrane for preventing postoperative adhesion. This study evaluated the antiadhesive effect and safety of HA-CMC membrane in thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid cancer. METHODS One hundred sixty-two patients who underwent thyroidectomy were prospectively randomized. In the study grou...

Edible coatings based on natural sources are a good alternative to protect and increase the shelf-life of fruits. In this work, active carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based edible enriched with functional ingredients, extracted from spent coffee grounds (SCG), were produced used fresh goldenberries. Thus, three different treatments tested goldenberries: (i) coating CMC (CMC-based coating); (ii) C...

Two cDNAs encoding two cellulases, CelA and CelC, were isolated from a cDNA library of the polycentric anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces sp. strain PC-2 constructed in Escherichia coli. Nucleotide sequencing revealed that the celA cDNA (1,558 bp) and celC cDNA (1,628 bp) had open reading frames encoding polypeptides of 459 (CelA) and 449 (CelC) amino acids, respectively. The two cDNAs were 76.9 and ...

Highly conductive, flexible, and durable silver nanowire (AgNW)-embedded carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) (s-CMC/PEDOT:PSS) composite films were investigated for application in wearable heaters on-skin sensors. The electrical conductivities of the CMC/PEDOT:PSS composites optimized by controlling PEDOT:PSS weight ratio CMC, sheet ...

This paper describes the results of radiation-induced crosslinking polysaccharides modified with hydroxypropyl and carboxymethyl functional groups, hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), respectively, without poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) as a agent, to obtain dual stimuli-responsive hydrogels. The gels were characterized in terms water uptake gel fraction, parame...

Apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) of dry matter, crude protein, crude lipid, nitrogen-free extract, and energy in selected carbohydrate sources including wheat flour (WF), α-potato starch (PS), α-corn starch (CS), Na alginate (AL), dextrin (DEX), and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) were determined for olive flounder. The olive flounder averaging 150 ± 8.0 g were held in 300-L tanks at a ...

Biomass-based filtration media are of interest as an economical means to remove pollutants and nutrients found in stormwater runoff. Refined aspen wood fiber samples treated with iron salt solutions demonstrated limited capacities to remove (ortho)phosphate from test solutions. To provide additional sites for iron complex formation, and thereby impart a greater capacity for phosphate removal, a...

Abstract The current work aims to synthesize carboxymethyl cellulose/polypyrrole (CMC/PPy) blends with different PPy concentrations as promising for energy storage devices low cost and excellent chemical physical characteristics. structural dielectric characteristics of CMC/PPy were studied. FT-IR spectroscopy is utilized study the properties present blends, whereas are explored at frequency ra...
