Bacterial nanocellulose/calcium alginate hydrogel for the treatment of burns

Acta cir. bras; 39 (), 2024
Purpose: Bacterial cellulose (BC) has shown high capacity for the treatment of wounds and burns, providing a moisty environment. Calcium alginate can be associated with BC to create gels that aid in wound debridement and contribute to appropriate wound healing. This study is aimed at characterizing and e...

Monitoramento de arbovírus em Aedes aegypti e Aedes albopictus no municí­pio de Pariquera-Açu, estado de São Paulo, Brasil

Introdução: Os mosquitos são responsáveis pela emergência e reemergência de doenças infecciosas. Dessa maneira, a presença de mosquitos vetores representa risco para as populações expostas às picadas. Ae. aegypti e Ae. albopictus são vetores de importância epidemiológica global. Considerand...

Alginate and γ-polyglutamic acid hydrogels: Microbial production strategies and biomedical applications. A review of recent literature

Hydrogels are three-dimensional networks of hydrophilic polymers. In general, these structures can be soft, elastic, porous and can absorb high quantities of water. Due to these characteristics, there is a growing interest in the use of hydrogels in diverse areas, from bioremediation to applications in t...

Locust bean gum hydrogels are bioadhesive and improve indole-3-carbinol cutaneous permeation: influence of the polysaccharide concentration

Abstract The locust bean gum (LBG) is a polysaccharide with thickening, stabilizing and gelling properties and it has been used in the preparation of pharmaceutical formulations. Hydrogels (HGs) are obtained from natural or synthetic materials that present interesting properties for skin application. Thi...

Development and clinical application of hydrogel formulations containing papain and urea for wound healing

Abstract Hydrogels are used for wound treatment, as they may contain one or more active components and protect the wound bed. Papain is one of the active substances that have been used with this purpose, alongside urea. In this paper, carboxypolymethylene hydrogels containing papain (2% and 10% concentra...

Association of Rhizophora mangle and ascorbic acid in hydrogels: Evaluation of cytotoxic and immunomodulatory effects

Abstract Polyphenolics from Rhizophora mangle (R. mangle) have shown wound healing and anti- inflammatory effects that may be potentiated by being associated with ascorbic acid, an important substance for collagen and elastin synthesis that plays a role in tissue repair. In our study, we aimed to formula...

Development and Characterization of a Hydrogel Containing Silver Sulfadiazine for Antimicrobial Topical Applications. Part II: Stability, Cytotoxicity and Silver Release Patterns

Abstract Hydrogels are interesting for use in the treatment of topical wounds due to their virtually zero toxicity, and capacity for extended release of pharmaceuticals. Silver sulfadiazine (SSDZ) is the drug of choice in the treatment of skin burns. The aim of the study was to determine cytotoxicity, an...

Design and evaluation of ocular hydrogel containing combination of ofloxacin and dexamethasone for the treatment of conjunctivitis

Abstract Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, which covers the white part of the eyeball. It can be caused by allergies, bacterial or viral infection. In situ hydrogels are three-dimensional hydrophilic cross-linked network of polymers. In situ hydrogel provided better therapeutic index ...
