Chronic wounds are a major health problem, affecting millions of people worldwide. Resistance to treatment is frequently observed, requiring an extension the wound healing time, and improper care can lead more problems in patients. Smart dressings that provide controlled drug release significantly improve process. In this paper, alginate beads with white lily leaf extract were prepared tested for chronic healing. The obtained characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) Fourier...
Our research aims to determine the optical properties of binary composites based on TiO2 and SiO2 oxides combined with additional metal such as CuO SrO. The inclusion SrO together nanoparticles is driven by their ability introduce intermediate energy levels in forbidden band, acting electron traps that reduce recombination rate increase efficiency solar conversion. Morphological structural characterization materials was carried out evidence homogeneity final composite well high specific...
This study aimed at unprecedented physical and chemical evaluation of the 'green plastics' polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), in an extremely halotolerant Halomonas elongata strain 2FF under high-salt concentration.The investigated bacterial was isolated from surface water hypersaline Fără Fund Lake. The 16S rRNA gene sequence phylogeny phenotypic analysis indicated that isolate belonged to H. elongata. PHA inclusions were observed by Sudan Black B, Nile Red staining, transmission electron...
The presence of SARS-CoV-2 in the middle ear reveals etiopathogenesis otitis media COVID-19, as well an epidemiological risk during otologic examination and surgical procedures COVID-19 patients. study included 8 deceased patients with COVID-19. Tissue samples from were subjected to virology, histopathology, scanning (SEM) transmission (TEM) electron microscopy investigation. Ethmoidal mucosa processed for virology analyses. qPCR resulted positive 75% nasal 50% samples. Ct values showed...
Since semiconductor-based photocatalysis uses solar energy as a free and sustainable source inoffensive photocatalysts, it has been found to be promising green approach eliminating dyes, antibiotics, other pharmaceuticals from water that contaminated. In this study, distinctive magnetic separable Fe3O4-ZnO:V photocatalyst is reported. ZnO:V semiconductors have produced by seed-assisted growth over preformed magnetite develop nanocomposites. The results indicated nanocomposites with the...
In this study, we report the successful synthesis of monometallic Pt(2 wt.%)/MIL-101(Cr) and bimetallic Au(1 wt.%)-Pt(1 catalysts with low dimension MeNPs by double-solvent (DS) method. The were characterized powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), N2 sorption analysis (BET), thermogravimetric (TGA), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), temperature-programmed reduction (TPR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM). characterization results demonstrated presence well-dispersed Pt Au-Pt nanoparticles...
Natural-based and synthetic tissue adhesives have attracted extensive attention in the last two decades for their ability to stabilize uncontrolled bleeding instances. However; these materials present several drawbacks during use that scientists tried minimize order optimize usage. This study comprises development of a novel wound dressing, combining excellent properties polylactic acid (PLA) non-woven textile, as substrate, obtained through electrospinning, cyanoacrylate-based (CA)...
Florfenicol (FF) is a widely used antimicrobial in veterinary medicine because of its broad activity, although it has certain limitations and raises concerns about the development resistance genes. These highlight need to explore novel drug with controlled release systems enhance therapeutic efficacy FF, while minimizing potential for development. This study introduces an innovative approach design, synthesis, evaluation lignin-poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA)-FF nanoparticles. By...
(1) Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is one of the most studied rhinological disorders. Modifications respiratory mucosa in COVID-19 patients are so far unknown. This paper presents a comparative morphological characterization CRSwNP versus and tissue interleukin (IL)-33 concentration. (2) Methods: We analyzed samples through histopathology, scanning transmission electron microscopy performed proteomic determination IL-33. (3) Results: Histopathologically,...
Morphological and anatomical traits of the Vinca leaf were examined using microscopy techniques. Outdoor minor V. herbacea plants greenhouse cultivated major var. variegata had interspecific variations. All species leaves are hypostomatic. However, except for leaf, few stomata also present on upper epidermis. highest stomatal index lowest, while distribution trichomes epidermis was species-specific. Differentiated palisade spongy parenchyma tissues in all species' leaves. a more organized...
Understanding the effect of different electric potentials upon preferential formation biofilms inside microfluidic devices could represent a step forward in comprehending mechanisms that govern biofilm and growth. 3D printed were used to investigate influence dielectrophoretic forces on growth Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 biofilms. Bacterial suspensions 2.5 McF pushed through channels while simultaneously applying various potential differences between 10 60 V. The overall field...
Magnetite nanoparticles and clusters of have been Increasing scientific interest in the past decades. In order to prepare that are stable suspension, different coatings used. Phosphates phosphonates a preferred anchoring group for coating magnetite nanomaterials. However, poly(vinylphosphonates) rarely used as agent any nanoparticles. Here, poly(methylvinylphosphonate) other substituted polyvinylphosphonates described new clusters. They show great stability aqueous suspension. This is also...
Adaptive strategies responsible for heavy metal tolerance were explored in the extremely halophilic archaeon Halomicrobium mukohataei DSM 12286. The tested strain was seemingly able to overcome silver-induced oxidative stress (assessed by malondialdehyde quantification, catalase assay and total antioxidant capacity measurement) mainly through non-enzymatic antioxidants. Energy dispersive spectrometry analysis illustrated presence of colloidal silver Hmc. cultures exposed AgNO3. Bright-field...
A comprehensive Raman scattering-based characterization of a full bio-based polyamide loaded with graphene nanoplatelets or layered double hydroxides (LDH) was assessed. The potential the spectroscopy used to reveal several particularities nanocomposite structures induced by thermal treatment.
