Polymeric Networks Derived from UV-Curing of Bio-Based Polyesters for Methyl Violet Removal.

In this study, firstly, the syntheses and characterizations of biobased polyesters with different acid values obtained from the condensation reaction of biobased itaconic acid and polyethylene glycol were investigated. Then, UV curing was applied to form polymeric networks as adsorbent material from these polyesters containing different acids. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used for the characterization of polymeric networks.

Evaluation of effects of platelet-rich plasma on human facial skin.

Introduction: Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used for rapid healing and tissue regeneration in many fields of medicine. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of PRP application procedure on human facial skin.

Methods: PRP was applied thrice at 2-week intervals on the face of ten healthy volunteers.

Nailfold capillaroscopy in Behçet disease, performed using videodermoscopy.

Background: Nailfold capillaroscopy is used for the identification of microvascular involvement in many rheumatic and extrarheumatic diseases.

Aim: To determine the nailfold capillary changes in patients with Behçet disease (BD) by videodermoscopy, i.e.

Effects of paroxetine on cutaneous wound healing in healthy and diabetic rats.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the histologic effects of acute paroxetine administration on wound healing in healthy and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

Design: This study has a randomized controlled experimental design.

Setting: Healthy (n = 32) and diabetic (n = 32) rats were further divided into 2 groups of saline or paroxetine administration.
