PURPOSE To evaluate experimental cranial vault reconstructions, by combining bone morphogenetic protein type 2 (BMP-2) and different matrices. METHODS Fourty-nine animals were initially included (seven per group). We designed an experimental, open, prospective and comparative study, divided in seven groups: 1 - BMP-2+calcium phosphate (BT); 2 - BMP-2+acellular dermal matrix (BM); 3 - BMP-2+ca...

This study reports the immobilization of a new lipase isolated from oleaginous seeds of Pachira aquatica, using beads of calcium alginate (Alg) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). We evaluated the morphology, number of cycles of reuse, optimum temperature, and temperature stability of both immobilization methods compared to the free enzyme. The immobilized enzymes were more stable than the free enzy...

Herein, the impact of chemical stability RedOx mediator ferricyanide, K3[Fe(CN)6] (FC), a type buffer solution used for bioreceptor preparation, gel composition (carboxymethylcellulose, CMC, Aerosile, AS, and alginate, ALG) on long term glucose test-strips their analytical performance was examined. By simple addition ALG to functional aiming improve its viscosity, we managed enhance sensitivity...

BACKGROUND The oxygen transfer rate (OTR) and dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) play an important role in determining alginate production and its composition; however, no systematic study has been reported about the independent influence of the OTR and DOT. In this paper, we report a study about alginate production and the evolution of the molecular mass of the polymer produced by a wild-type A. v...

Colonization of biomaterials surface by Pseudomonas. Aeruginosa allows them form biofilms and be protected from host defense mechanisms and antimicrobial chemotherapy. Alginate production plays a central role in their pathogenesis. The research was to evaluate post irradiation effect on biofilm, hydrophobicity, resistance, alginate gene of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection associated with urinar...

Biomaterials with characteristics similar to extracellular matrix and suitable bioprinting properties are essential for vascular tissue engineering. In search biomaterials, this study investigated the three hydrogels alginate/hyaluronic acid/gelatin (Alg/HA/Gel), pre-crosslinked alginate di-aldehyde gelatin (ADA-GEL), methacryloyl (GelMA) respect their mechanical survival, migration, proliferat...

Alginate blended with cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), nanofibers (CNF), and tri-carboxylate (TPC-CNF) prepared encapsulated in the form of microcapsules (bio-polymeric beads). The cellulosic nanomaterials that used this study were investigated as for wastewater treatment applications. Batch experiments performed to removal copper, lead, magnesium, iron from aqueous solutions by beads. effects sor...

Centimeter-scale composite biochar-alginate gel beads (MoS2B/CaCO3/Alg) were designed for the adsorption of Pb(II) in water using MoS2 modified biochar as filler, alginate matrix, and CaCO3 active additive component. The characterized scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), diffraction (XRD), other techniques. MoS2B/CaCO3/Al...

The acute wound healing process requires a quick and short-stage vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) supply, especially, in the early-stage of injury. To date, research has rarely met demand for controlled VEGF release. Herein, novel wheel spinning technique was introduced to fabricate alginate (Alg)/silk fibroin (SF) composite fiber loading achieving controllable In turn, it demonstrated...
