Employing photodestructible surfactants in gelatin-based aqueous gels presents novel possibilities for controlling colloidal and aggregation properties of surfactant gelatin complexes. Light-triggered breakdown of the gelatin-bound photosurfactant aggregates causes dramatic changes in viscosity and aggregation.

Homogeneously distributed zinc nanoparticles (NPs) on the glass substrate were investigated for the transmittance, mechanical durability, and antibacterial effect. The buffered Ti NPs between Zn NPs and glass substrate were studied for an enhancement of the transmittance and mechanical endurance. The Ti NPs buffered Zn NPs showed a high transmittance of approximately 91.5% (at a wavelength of 5...

BACKGROUND The major types of commercially available gelatin hydrolysates are prepared from mammals or fish. Dietary gelatin hydrolysates from mammals were reported to improve bone mineral density (BMD) in some animal models. In contrast, there is limited study showing the effects of dietary gelatin hydrolysates from fish on BMD. The quantity and structure of peptides in the plasma after oral a...

Aim: to investigate and describe, through a systematic review, the biological behavior osteogenic potential of composite biomaterials containing hydroxyapatite (HA), alginate gelatin, in different associations, after vivo implantation. Materials Methods: for search selection articles, Medical Literature Analysis Retrieval System Online (PubMed/MEDLINE) Scientific Electronic Library (SciELO) dat...

1. When we plot the values of osmotic pressure, swelling, and viscosity of gelatin solutions as ordinates over the pH as abscissae, practically identical curves are obtained for the effect of monobasic acids (HCl, HBr, HNO(3), and acetic acid) on these properties. 2. The curves obtained for the effect of H(2)SO(4) on gelatin are much lower than those obtained for the effect of monobasic acids, ...

This method depends upon the use of formalindenatured gelatin with finely powdered charcoal incorporated as an indicator of liquefaction. The gelatin charcoal is used only as a substrate for testing the gelatinase activity and not as a nutrient medium. This substrate contains a large number of minute particles of charcoal with a comparatively small amount of gelatin as binding substance. Conseq...

Abstract This study was conducted to determine the effect of gelatin reology on mechanical, physical and morphological properties gelatin-based edible films. The aim this better understand variation viscosity structural behaviour films in presence glycerol sorbitol plasticizers. Gelatin-based were casted by using gelatins different viscosities as 2.5, 3.0 3.5 centipoise with plasticisers sorbit...

Protein corona of nanoparticles (NPs), which forms when these particles come in to contact with protein-containing fluids, is considered as an overlooked factor in nanomedicine. Through numerous studies it has been becoming increasingly evident that it importantly dictates the interaction of NPs with their surroundings. Several factors that determine the compositions of NPs protein corona have ...

INTRODUCTION Eosinophilic and noneosinophilic Nasal polyps (NPs) are different subtypes of NPs and require different treatment methods. OBJECTIVE To compare the histologic characteristics, mRNA and protein expression between Nasal Polyps with and without eosinophilia. METHODS NPs tissues were obtained from eighty-six NPs patients during surgery. Eosinophilic and noneosinophilic NPs were dis...

Phosphonated gelatin was prepared for surface modification of titanium to stimulate cell functions. The modified gelatin was synthesized by coupling with 3-aminopropylphosphonic acid using water-soluble carbodiimide and characterized by (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance and gel permeation chromatography. Circular dichroism revealed no differences in the conformations of unmodified and phosphonat...
