Plantaricin 423, produced by Lactobacillus plantarum, and bacteriocin ST4SA produced by Enterococcus mundtii, were electrospun into nanofibers prepared from different combinations of poly(d,l-lactide) (PDLLA) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). Both peptides were released from the nanofibers with a high initial burst and retained 88% of their original antimi...

این پژوهش با الهام گرفتن از نتایج یک طرح مطالعاتی کاربردی، رویکرد سلسله­‌مراتبی جهت پیگیری فرایند توسعه تأمین‌کنندگان و حمایت تصمیمات موجود در هر مراحل آن ارائه‌ می‌کند. ابتدا، زمینه‌های تأمین نیازمند سپس واجد شرایط هریک زمینه‌ها به کمک تصمیم‌گیری چندشاخصه بهترین-بدترین مشخص می‌گردند. معیارهای شناسایی نیز مرور مطالعات پیشین بهره‌گیری نظرات خبرگان حوزه‌ی خرید استخراج‌شده‌اند. درنهایت، مدل ریاضی ...

Several studies have indicated the involvement of macrophages and dendritic cells in active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Manipulation of these cells is considered a very important therapeutic strategy for patients with IBD. We evaluated the effect of a new drug delivery system targeting microfold cells and macrophages with poly(DL-lactic acid) microspheres containing dexamethasone (Dx). Co...

The poor self-healing ability of cartilage necessitates the development of methods for cartilage regeneration. Scaffold construction with live stem cell incorporation and subsequent differentiation presents a promising route. Projection stereolithography (PSL) offers high resolution and processing speed as well as the ability to fabricate scaffolds that precisely fit the anatomy of cartilage de...

he Abbott Vascular bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) (Santa Clara, CA, USA) consists of a semicrystalline poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) backbone and conformal coating of amorphous poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLLA) and the antiproliferative agent, everolimus. The molecular weight of the BVS polymers is degraded primarily through hydrolysis of the ester bonds present in each monomer subunit. Crystalline res...

A nondestructive Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy assay, amenable to exploring a wide range of proteins and polymers, is used to measure changes in the tertiary structure of bovine serum albumin (BSA) adsorbed to three surfaces: gold, polystyrene (PS), and poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA). Tertiary structural analysis is important because typical secondary structural analysis (FTIR a...
