Abstract Whey, a by-product of dairy industry, is a feedstock widely employed in the production of biodegradable films. However, these films present some limitations when considering the performance of synthetic polymers, especially biological transformation by decomposition. This work aimed to evaluate ...
Abstract Chitosan is a natural, biocompatible chelating substance with potential for dental use. This study compared the effects of final canal irrigation with chitosan and EDTA on dentin microhardness, sealer dentin tubules penetration capacity, and push-out strength. Methodology: Fifty canine roots we...

Tolmetin sodium (TS) is a powerful non-steroidal mitigating drug for the treatment of rheumatoid joint inflammation, osteoarthritis, and adolescent rheumatoid joint pain. In addition to its gastrointestinal (GIT) problems, TS has a short biological half-life (1 hr). In a trial to overcome these side effe...
Antibacterial activity and good mechanical properties are some of the characteristics required for
an appropriate film dressing. A novel polymer blend was developed for wound healing application.
Twenty-four formulations using the polymers chitosan, poly(vinyl alcohol) and/or ɛ-Polylysine and
the plasti...
Temozolomide, a chemotherapeutic drug that is often administered for the treatment of brain cancer has severe side effects and a poor aqueous solubility. In order to decrease the detrimental effect of the drug over healthy cells, a novel drug delivery vehicle was developed where the therapeutic drug was ...
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of chitosan nanoparticles on microtensile bond strength of resin composite to dentin using self etch adhesive after aging. Material and Methods: A total number of 90 freshly extracted, sound human molar teeth. Flat tooth surface was gained a...
Chitosan has been successfully used as a biomaterial with several purposes in many species. In this study, chitosan membranes were produced with six different types of materials, and their behavior were evaluated upon implantation in the subcutaneous tissue of the flank of twelve healthy horses. We asses...
The aim of this study was to characterize the tissue reactions triggered by the polypropylene mesh coated with chitosan and polyethylene glycol film, and if it’s able to prevent the formation of peritoneal adhesions. Defects in the abdominal wall of rats were induced and polypropylene meshes coated wit...
Phytophtora capsici es un patógeno que incide sobre cultivos de la familia de las solanáceas causando pérdidas económicas en cultivos de pimientos, tomates, berenjenas y cur-cubitáceas. En este trabajo evaluamos el efecto del quitosano de bajo grado de polimerización (QBP) sobre el crecimiento de P...
Os atuais avanços no desenvolvimento de biomateriais caminham para 2 áreas
promissoras: a de regeneração tecidual e a de entrega controlada de fármacos.
Assim, o presente estudo objetivou a síntese e caracterização de diferentes
matrizes (fibras e hidrogel) à base de quitosana, a fim de se obter...
