Wound infections are the main complication when treating skin wounds. This work reports a novel antimicrobial material using green synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) incorporated in polymeric fibers for wound healing purposes. ZnONPs promising nanomaterial with high activity against range of microorganisms, including drug-resistant bacteria. The electrospun were obtained polyacrylic acid (PAA) and polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) loaded from Ilex paraguariensis leaves spherical...
Polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylic acid (PVA/PAA) bilayer hydrogel nanofibres were successfully fabricated by electrospinning and physically crosslinked via heat treatment. The effects of the thermal annealing process on structure, morphology, swelling, properties hydrophilicity electrospun investigated. In addition, these membranes also used to incorporate doxorubicin clarithromycin for osteosarcoma treatment, one in each layer. These drugs because it is hypothesized this work that a synergism...
Research advancements in the field of urinary stents have mainly been selection materials and coatings to address commonly faced problems encrustation bacterial adhesion. In this study, polylactic acid (PLA) polypropylene (PP) were evaluated with zinc oxide (ZnO) coating assess its ability reduce or eliminate bacteria PLA PP films prepared via twin screw extrusion. ZnO microparticles using sol-gel hydrothermal synthesis. The as-prepared combined form a functional deposited on both polymer...
The aim of this work is to evaluate the impact reduction zinc content in Ethylene, Propylene and Diene Monomer (EPDM) elastomeric compositions. Vulcanization nanoactivators ZnO 30 (ZnO dispersed CaCO 3 ) 40 (active ZnO) were used as reinforces elastomers, both properties cytotoxicity investigated compared those EPDM with a standard oxide (sZnO) commonly bus rubber profile industry. After complete description physico‐chemical characteristics whole oxides, vulcanization activators EPDM....
A tirzepatida é a primeira medicação de seu tipo, aprovada pela Food and Drug Administration (FDA), atuar como um polipeptídeo insulinotrópico dependente glicose (GIP) ação dupla e agonista do receptor peptídeo semelhante ao glucagon 1 (GLP-1), sendo altamente eficaz tanto na manutenção estado glicêmico normal perda peso no diabetes mellitus tipo 2. O presente estudo revisão buscou avaliar eficácia da tratamento pacientes com 2, partir ensaios clínicos randomizados publicados literatura...
As nanopartículas de prata (AgNPs) são reconhecidas como eficazes agentes antimicrobianos e seus métodos tradicionais síntese utilizam reagentes químicos que podem ser tóxicos potencialmente perigosos à saúde humana ao meio ambiente. Por este motivo, diversos pesquisadores têm buscado alternativas sejam mais limpas ambientalmente corretas para a desses nanomateriais. Dentro deste contexto, esse trabalho teve por objetivo propor um método verde AgNPs, utilizando os compostos bioativos...
