Chitosan is known for its hemostatic and antimicrobial properties and might be useful for temporary coating of removable dentures or intraoral splints to control bleeding after oral surgery or as a supportive treatment in denture stomatitis. This study investigated a new method to adhere chitosan to polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). There were 70 cylindrical s...

Present review article describes main causes of chronic kidney disease a major health problem public health problem round the globe. Disease has multiple etiologies related to sequential pathophysiological stages. It has major concern with chronic changes in renal structure and that severely alter glomerular filtration rate in patients. This article explains CKD biomarkers in brief i.e., serum ...

Tracking cells after therapeutic transplantation is imperative for evaluation of implanted cell fate and function. In this study, ultrasmall superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (USPIO NPs) were surface functionalized with water-soluble chitosan, a cationic polysaccharide that mediates enhanced endocytic uptake, endosomal escape into the cytosol, and subsequent long-term retention of nano...

Using the batch adsorption technique, an eco-friendly polymer composite made of chitosan, polyaniline, and iron (III) oxide was developed for removal dye contamination from wastewater. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission (TEM), EDX (energy dispersive analysis), thermogravimetric-d...

magnetic nanoparticles are the good choice for using in mri as the contrast agent. iron oxide particles such as magnetite (fe3o4) or its oxidized form maghemite (γ-fe2o3) are the most commonly employed in biomedical applications. in this study, we synthesized and optimized the preparation of chitosan manganese-ferrite nanoparticles (cmn-fe nps) and evaluated its ability for the mice macrophage ...
