Background: Abdominal adhesions are considered as an important problem in abdominal surgery. In this study we compared the effectiveness of atorvastatin, hyaluronic acid and interceed (oxidized cellulose) in prevention of postoperative intestinal adhesions. Material and Methods: A total of 40 Wistar-albino rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: Group 1 (Sham); Group 2 (Control ...

Pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass by N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO), a solvent used in the textile industry to dissolve cellulose for production of regenerated cellulose fibers, was observed to enhance significantly enzymatic saccharification and fermentation. The enhancement was speculated to have been caused by reduced cellulose crystallinity after dissolution and precipitation proce...

the effect of different carbon sources on bacterial cellulose production by gluconacetobacter xylinus (ptcc 1734) and two newly isolated strains (from vinegar) under static culture conditions was studied. the production of bacterial cellulose was examined in modified hestrin-shramm medium by replacing d-glucose with other carbon sources. the results showed that the yield and characteristics of ...

Cellulose solution and nanocellulose were prepared from corn straw wheat then used to fabricate an all-cellulose nanocomposites film (ANF). The crystal structure (CS) of ANFs was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR). Cellulose-I cellulose-II found coexist within regenerated cellulose films (RCF) ANFs. With the change content, proportions cellulose-I...
