Membranes were prepared from fibroin, a protein isolated the domesticated silkworm (Bombyx mori) silk, and evaluated as potential substratum for corneal limbal epithelial cells. These membranes (i.e., B. mori silk fibroin [BMSF] membranes) cast dialyzed solutions of (4% w/v) dispensed into 35-mm-diameter culture dishes dried at room temperature (23–24°C). The resulting material was transparent, easy to handle, supported levels human (HLE) cell growth comparable that observed on tissue...
Abstract A large number of hydrophilic sponges were prepared by polymerisation 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate in variable concentrations water (60‐90% wt) the initial monomer mixture. Concentration and type crosslinking agents (ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA) hexamethylene (HDMA)) concentration redox initiators also changed. All examined cross‐section conventional environmental scanning electron microscopy. Micrographs indicated that, order to obtain with characteristics appropriate for...
Background: The abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is defined as an increase in diameter by more than 50% and associated with a high risk of rupture mortality without treatment. aim this study to analyze the role adventitial collagen photocrosslinking UV-A irradiation on biomechanical profile wall. Methods: This experimental structured two parts: first part includes vitro uniaxial evaluation porcine tissue subjected either short-term elastolysis or long-term collagenolysis attempt duplicate...
Abstract The combination at the interface between two chemically identical polymers was investigated by light and electron (scanning, transmission) microscopy. constitute elements of a new type artificial cornea in which peripheral skirt is made from spongy poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) central optical zone homogeneous, transparent PHEMA. Their two‐phase along boundary fulfill formally requirements for an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN). procedure manufacture prosthesis...
ABSTRACT In an attempt to generate supramolecular assemblies able function as self‐healing hydrogels, a novel ureido‐pyrimidinone (UPy) monomer, 2‐( N ′ ‐methacryloyloxyethylureido)‐6‐(1‐adamantyl)‐4[1 H ]‐pyrimidinone, was synthesized and then copolymerized with N,N ‐dimethylacrylamide at four different feed compositions, using solution of lithium chloride in ‐dimethylacetamide the polymerization medium. The assembling process resulting copolymers is based on crosslinking through reversible...
Fibroin, the major proteinaceous component of silk fiber produced by larvae domesticated moth (Bombyx mori), has been widely investigated as a biomaterial for potential applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Following sol-gel transition, fibroin solutions can generate hydrogels that present certain advantages when employed biomaterials, especially if they are cross-linked. The subject this study was self-cross-linking through process induced enzyme horseradish...
We have reviewed the development and current status of therapies based on exposure to non-ionizing radiation (with a photon energy less than 10 eV) aimed at suppressing venous neointimal hyperplasia, consequentially avoiding stenosis in arteriovenous grafts. Due drawbacks associated with medical use ionizing radiation, prominently radiation-induced cardiovascular disease, availability procedures using is becoming noteworthy objective for research. Further, focus review was such improving...
To elucidate the relatively short retention of crosslinked poly(1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone) hydrogels in eye when used as potential vitreous substitutes, a 14C-labeled hydrogel was produced and subjected to both vitro biodegradation assays vivo experiments. The polymer synthesized by free-radical copolymerization 99% 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone with 1% 14C-methyl methacrylate presence ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (0.1%) crosslinking agent. protocol for assessing included incubation hydrolases...
A homopolymer of 1-vinyl-2 pyrrolidinone and its copolymer with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, both cross-linked divinyl glycol, were produced as possible substitutes for the vitreous body eye. The hydrated polymers behaved like viscoelastic gels, displaying excellent physical optical properties. sterile gels (0.7-1.5 ml) injected into cavity rabbits, which previously underwent gas-mediated vitrectomy. Clinically, eyes quiet, exception transient opacities in vitreous. After 4 weeks, operated...
