BACKGROUND Whether the rate of drug elution and polymer absorption affects clinical outcomes of biodegradable polymer-based drug-eluting stents (DES) is unknown. The widely used polylactide polymer-based Excel stent (JW Medical, Weihai, China) elutes sirolimus within 180 days, and the polylactide polymer is completely absorbed within 6 to 9 months. In contrast, the poly-lactide-co-glycolide pol...

This work reports fabrication of polylactide (PLA) films doped with various additives an amorphous Eu(III) complex. We study the temperature behavior luminescence intensity and lifetime PLA-Eu(III) composites in range 298–353 K investigate mechanism quenching. The peak relative sensitivity reaches 20.1 %×K−1 exceeds respective characteristics all known lanthanide-containing thermosensors design...

In this study, a colorimetric pH indicator was developed using nanofibrous mats of polylactide (PLA) including turmeric, natural dye. Firstly, were produced by dissolving PLA at different concentrations in chloroform (CHL)/dimethylformamide (DMF) various volume ratios, and morphological analysis performed. Subsequently, turmeric added concentration 2% wt. to the polymer solution having 10% 75/2...
