Abstract For the first time, Raman spectroscopy has been employed to investigate formation of cross-links in collagen and porcine pericardium tissue upon glutaraldehyde (GA) treatment. GA treatment causes a very high fluorescence background, which overlaps bands. It found that short fixation i.e. 2 h, reduces background radiation significantly, providing new possibilities for studying changes molecular structure modification. The observed position intensity bands allowed us recognize...
Abstract Infrared (IR) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and dielectric spectroscopy methods were employed to study structural dynamic changes in the tannic acid (TA)‐stabilized pericardium tissue. Chemically stabilized tissue is widely used construction of derived bioprostheses. IR spectra recorded range 400–4000 cm −1 allowed us recognize different types TA–collagen interactions. Formation hydrogen bonds between amine as well amide NH groups from collagen hydroxyl TA was...
A comparison of cellular fatty acid profiles Desulfovibrio desulfuricans DSM 642 and 14 wild strains this species, isolated from two completely different environments, soil the human intestine, was carried out. All D. grown on lactate sulfate indicated presence considerable amounts i-C15:0, i-C17:1 C16:0. Although differences in quantities individual acids present each strain were clear group (similarity, 67.6%), contrast to almost identical patterns near 100%) intestinal strains, results...
The susceptibility to the fouling of NiTi and Ti6Al4V alloys due adhesion microorganisms biofilm formation is very significant, especially in context an inflammatory state induced by implants contaminated bacteria, corrosion stimulated bacteria. aim this work was examine differences between sulphur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) sulphate-reducing (SRB) strains their affinity for alloys. biofilms formed on alloy surfaces cells five bacterial (aerobic SOB Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans ferrooxidans,...
Due to its biocompatibility and advantageous electrochemical properties, platinum is commonly used in the design of biomedical devices, e.g., surgical instruments, as well electro-medical or orthopedic implants. This article verifies hypothesis that a thin layer sputter-coated may possess antibacterial effects. The purpose this research was investigate adhesion growth ability model strain Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli, on surface platinum-coated glass slide. Although some previous...
Abstract Raman spectroscopy was applied to investigate changes in the hydration state of chemically modified porcine pericardium tissue. Chemically tissues are used construction bioprostheses for replacement surgery including dermis, heart valves and blood vessels. The is a very important factor influencing specific mechanical immunogenic properties tissue derived materials. We analysed OH vibrational bands spectra measured range 3000–3800 cm −1 native glutaraldehyde (GA) cross‐linked For...
Introduction Structural modification of proteins, mainly collagen in connective tissues, is important the manufacture tissue-derived biomaterials. Natural compounds like genipin or tannic acid (TA) have been proposed instead glutaraldehyde which shows cytotoxic effects on processed tissue. Furthermore, calcification glutaraldehyde-treated tissue limits functional lifetime bioprostheses. TA known to form numerous hydrogen bonds with proteins. The purpose our study was investigate structural...
Bacteria of Desulfovibrio genus belong to group widespread sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB). D. desulfuricans is considered one among many bacterial species involved in microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) metals, mainly stainless steels and other alloys. SRB can produce gaseous hydrogen sulphide. This gas released into the environment leading formation metal sulphides that significantly influence electrochemical processes ultimately enhance materials. Biofilms formed by these are...
