The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of erythropoietin (EPO) loading chitosan-tripolyphosphate (CS-TPP) nanoparticles on an immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) rat model. CS-TPP nanoparticles were produced from CS and TPP and EPO was loaded by mixing with the nanoparticles. The IgAN rat models were randomly divided into three groups: the CS-TPP-EPO group, CS-TPP group and ...

In this work, the effect of presence of the sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP), as an inorganic salt, on improving the performance of polyamide (PA) thin layer membranes has been studied. Characterization analyses confirmed the presence of the salt on the whole surface structure of the thin layer. Different salt loadings resulted in different fluxes and Cu (II) rejections. The thin layer containing...
