The aim of this study was to test the potential high molecular weight exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by putative probiotic strain Lactobacillus paraplantarum BGCG11 (EPS CG11) alleviate inflammatory pain in Wistar rats. EPS CG11 isolated from bacterial surface and subjected Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) thermal analysis. FTIR spectra confirmed polysaccharide structure sample, while methods revealed good properties polymer. antihyperalgesic antiedematous effects were...
Although selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) have gained attention in the scientific community mostly through investigation of their anticancer activity, a great potential this nanomaterial was recognized recently regarding its antimicrobial activity. The particle form, size, and surface chemistry been as crucial parameters determining interaction nanomaterials with biological entities. Furthermore, considering narrow boundary between beneficial toxic effects for per se, it is clear that...
In this work, we synthesized a new composite material comprised of previously formulated resveratrol nanobelt-like particles (ResNPs) and selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs), namely ResSeNPs. Characterization was provided by FESEM optical microscopy, as well UV-Vis FTIR spectroscopy, the last showing hydrogen bonds between ResNPs SeNPs. DPPH, TBA, FRAP assays showed excellent antioxidative abilities with SeNPs contributing mainly to lipid peroxidation inhibition reducing/scavenging activity,...
While the effects of chronic exposure to microplastic particles (MPs) are extensively studied, outcomes a single treatment have received relatively less attention. To investigate MPs’ potential acute toxicity, including their impact on general health status (victual consumption, sensorimotor deficits, and clinical toxicity signs) serum biochemical parameters (markers organ/tissue function oxidative stress indicators), we administered thoroughly characterized MPs (1.4, 35, or 125 mg/kg),...
In this study we have produced silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Serbian traditional tea Bosiljak (Ocimum basilicum L.) extract in a single step without the involvement of toxic chemicals. The method employed is environmentally friendly, simple, and cost-effective, involving use an aqueous plant that serves as both reducing stabilizing agent for AgNPs. AgNPs were studied UV–Vis spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission (TEM), dynamic light spectroscopy...
To investigate the synergistic activity of colistin and selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) against pandrug-resistant (PDR) Ac. baumannii.Chequerboard time-kill assays were employed to explore potential interactions between SeNPs baumannii isolates (8), previously determined as colistin-resistant (MIC range 16-256 μg ml-1 ). Also, whole-genome sequencing (WGS) gene expression analyses used elucidate mechanisms resistance. Exceptionally strong (FICI 0.004-0.035) was revealed. Colistin (0.5 or 1 )...
The chemical element selenium (Se) is a nonmetal that in trace amounts indispensable for normal cellular functioning. During pregnancy, low Se status can increase the risk of oxidative stress. However, elevated concentrations body also cause This study aimed to compare effects BSA-stabilized nanoparticles (SeNPs, Se0) (BSA-bovine serum albumin) and inorganic sodium selenite (NaSe, Se+4) supplementation on histological structure placenta, stress parameters total placental concentration Wistar...
Recently, many studies have shown various beneficial effects of polyphenol resveratrol (Res) on human health. The most important these include cardioprotective, neuroprotective, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, osteoinductive, and anti-microbial effects. Resveratrol has cis trans isoforms, with the isoform being more stable biologically active. Despite results in vitro experiments, limited potential for application vivo due to its poor water solubility, sensitivity oxygen, light, heat, rapid...
Abstract An increasing lack of available therapeutic options against Acinetobacter baumannii urged researchers to seek alternative ways fight this extremely resistant nosocomial pathogen. Targeting its virulence appears be a promising strategy, as it offers considerably reduced selection mutants. In study, we tested antibiofilm potential four synthetic chalcone derivatives A. . Compound that showed the greatest activity was selected for further evaluation antivirulence properties. Real‐time...
Multidrug-resistant bacterial strains represent an emerging global health threat and a great obstacle for bone tissue engineering. One of the major components extracellular matrix is collagen protein, while selenium element that has antimicrobial potential, also important metabolism health. Here we incorporation nanoparticles (SeNPs) synthesized by green chemical reduction method into gels to produce composite material, collagen/SeNPs, with properties. The samples were comprehensively...
Cell scaffolds are often used in cell transplantation as they provide a solid structural support to implanted cells and can be bioengineered mimic the native extracellular matrix. Gadolinium fluoride nanoparticles (Gd-NPs) contrast agent for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) were incorporated into poly(lactide-co-glycolide)/chitosan obtain Labelled Scaffolds (ILCSs), having shape of hollow spherical/ellipsoidal particles (200–600 μm diameter 50–80 shell thickness). While Gd-NPs microparticles...
