PURPOSE GS-E3D is a newly developed pectin lyase-modified red ginseng extract. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory effects of GS-E3D against advanced glycation end products. METHODS In this study, we evaluated the inhibitory effects of GS-E3D on the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and their cross-linking with collagen in vitro and in streptozotocin-ind...

We investigated the feasibility of oleuropein as a cross-linking agent for fabricating three-dimensional (3D) porous composite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. Human-like collagen (HLC) and nanohydroxyapatite (n-HAp) were used to fabricate the composite scaffold by way of cross-linking. The mechanical tests revealed superior properties for the cross-linked scaffolds compared to the uncros...

Sodium alginate (SA) and gelatine (G) based hydrogels for biomedical applications, such as wound dressing, were crosslinked by calcium chloride (CaCl2) or glutaraldehyde (GTA) in order to overcome their exudates solubility. Swelling behaviour of prepared hydrogels in phosphate buffered saline with different pH value at 37 ° C was compared. It was proved that the crosslinking agent concentration...

A chrome gel system with 13 million molecular weight and 19 polymer DQ-8 cross-linking agent is dynamically gelled under different conditions of 50-mesh 100-mesh screens shear rates. Concentration limit. The experiment shows that the critical concentration gelation 500-700mg/L, new in 80mg/L-90mg/L. cross-linker cut by steel mesh. post-gelation time prolonged. Between 6h-10h, after 12 days test...

In this work, we refer to the fraction of hydrides and vinyl groups consumed in cross-linking reaction as a variation properties poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) with varying formulation curing agent from 3.2 wt % 50 %. Young's modulus, density, refractive indices PDMS were observed have maxima at about 10 cross linker. The intensity Raman band for Si?H stretching mode cross-linker is almost zero ...
