The positive interaction between polysaccharides with active phytochemicals found in medicinal plants may represent a strategy to create active wound dressing materials useful for skin repair. In the present work, blended membranes composed of chitosan (Cht) and aloe vera gel were prepared through the solvent casting, and were crosslinked with genipin to improve their properties. Topography, sw...

The possibility of producing valued devices from low cost natural resources is a subject of broad interest. The present study explores the preparation and characterization of silk fibroin dense membranes using waste silk fibers from textile processing. Morphology, crystallinity, thermal resistance and cytotoxicity of membranes as well as the changes on the secondary structure of silk fibroin we...

Objective- In diabetes impaired wound healing and other tissue abnormalities are considered as major concerns. The novel therapeutic options for treatment of wound in diabetic patients are urgently needed. The aim of the present study was to assess beneficial effects of chitosan nanocurcumin biofilm on healing of full thickness excisional wounds in diabetic rats.D...

premature rupture of membranes (prom) is one of the most common complications of pregnancy that has a major impact on neonatal outcomes. with respect to racial, nutritional and cultural differences between developed and developing countries, this study was conducted to detect the prevalence of neonatal complications following prom and the role of the duration of rupture of membranes in producin...

To reduce the computation load for electromagnetic field analyses of magnets wound with spiral coated-conductor cables, we developed a simplified analysis method. In method, analyze single cable carrying transport current under external magnetic field, which is generated by in adjacent cables while ignoring influence shielding currents them. We conducted numerical and without model directly com...

The 'electromagnetic' Sl(2; Z) duality group in spacetime dimension D = 4k can be given a Kaluza-Klein interpretation in D = 4k + 2 as the modular group of a compactifying torus. We show how dyonic 2(k − 1)-branes in D = 4k can be interpreted as self-dual (2k − 1)-branes in D = 4k + 2 wound around the homology cycles of the torus. In particular, dyons of the D=4 N=4 heterotic string theory are ...
