Insight into Biological Apatite: Physiochemical Properties and Preparation Approaches

Insight into Bone-Derived Biological Apatite: Ultrastructure and Effect of Thermal Treatment

OBJECTIVES This study aims at examining the ultrastructure of bone-derived biological apatite (BAp) from a series of small vertebrates and the effect of thermal treatment on its physiochemical properties. MATERIALS AND METHODS Femurs/fin rays and vertebral bodies of 5 kinds of small vertebrates were firstly analyzed with X-ray microtomography. Subsequently, BAp was obtained with thermal treat...

Preparation and Biomedical properties of transparent chitosan/gelatin/honey/aloe vera nanocomposite

Objective(s): Biodegradable polymers are featured with notable potentials for biotechnology and bioengineering purposes. Still, there are limitations in their applicability so that in many cases composite forms are used. The present study is focused on chitosan (CS), gelatin (GEL), honey (H) and aloe vera (AV) for preparation of thin films.Methods: To prepare the thin film, CS and GEL wit...

Developing Preparation Methods for Biological Samples to Determine Trace Amounts of Heavy Metals: A Review Study

Introduction: Perpetration of samples is one of the most important stages needed for trace residue analysis of biological specimens when human exposure assessment is required. The samples preparation process makes the analyte get more purified and enriched as well as more compatible to the analysis instrument systems. The present study has concentrated on a systematic review of different articl...

Title Insight into Bone-Derived Biological Apatite: Ultrastructure and Effect of Thermal Treatment

The Conversion of Inorganic Phosphorus Fractions, Phosphatase Activity, and Some Biological Properties in Sandy Soil Enriched with Minerals, Organic Matter, and Microbial Modifiers under Two Months of Incubation

This study investigated the effect of the inoculation of the soil with some phosphorus solubilizing microorganisms (PSM) on inorganic P fractions in sandy soil enriched with inorganic and organic amendments. A factorial experiment arrangement was performed in a completely randomized design with three replications, using two factors: microorganisms (control, Entrobacter cloacae, Brevundimonas, a...
