Application of Chitosan-Based Hydrogel Obtained from Insects in Pine Planting.

Agrogels, a hydrogel applied in the soil that collects water during irrigation or rainfall and distributes moisture to plant roots during drought, are a solution to water shortage concerns. Extending the release of low molecular weight chemicals has the potential to minimise mineral fertiliser losses as well as water and soil pollution. Thus, the aim of the research is to obtain chitosan from insect chitin, to synthesize a hydrogel based on chitosan with included mineral and organic fertilisers, and to report on experiments with agrogels in the field.

Data on the isolation and identification of thermotolerant microorganisms from cow manure promising for organic waste processing.

Thermotolerant microorganisms play an essential role in the composting process of organic waste; they are responsible for the degradation process of organic compounds owing to their enzymatic activity in the high-temperature phase of composting. This article presents data on the isolation and identification of thermotolerant microorganisms from cattle manure. In total, three bacterial strains with the ability to grow at 50°C were isolated on different media.

Clinical Experience with Chitosan Matrix and Cultured Fibroblasts for Burns.

Introduction: Burns are an important public health challenge due to the frequency of getting burns in day-to-day life, occupational hazards, and catastrophes. Treatment of burns is complex and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Duration and complexity of burn treatment require finding new ways of curing and rehabilitating burns.

Transplantation of Cultivated Fibroblasts on a Backing of Xenogenic Tissue in the Treatment of Wounds.

Introduction: Trophic ulcers are a common health problem, and there are numerous treatment methods. Irreversible damage in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and fascia with long-term ulcer existence make standard autotransplantation inneffective. Skin grafts are often complicated by partial or complete rejection of skin flaps.
