Porous Nanocomposite Implants With Gold Nanoparticles for Plastic Surgery.

This study presents an innovative approach to improve implant biointegration and reduce implant-associated infections using porous poly(vinyl formal) nanocomposite matrices incorporated with gold nanoparticles and antimicrobial/anticancer drugs for plastic surgery applications. The porous matrices were characterized using physicochemical techniques and in vitro biochemical assays. The results demonstrated the biocompatibility of PVF nanocomposites and their potential for functionalization with various bioactive molecules and drugs, thereby enhancing their therapeutic efficacy.

Gold nanoparticles synthesis and biological activity estimation in vitro and in vivo.

Unlabelled: The aim of the work was the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (GNP) of different sizes and the estimation of their biological activity in vitro and in vivo.

Materials And Methods: Water dispersions of gold nanoparticles of different sizes have been synthesized by Davis method and characterized by laser-correlation spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy methods. The GNP interaction with tumor cells has been visualized by confocal microscopy method.

[Influence of gold and silver nanoparticles on ATPase activity of native and rehydrated cells of Escherichia coli].

The expressed changes in the bacteria cells' plasma membrane ATPase activity values cells of Escherichia coli, which are used in the manufacturing of vaccines against cattle colienterotoxemia, have been revealed under the influence of lyophilization/rehydration process. Influence of gold (average size 20, 30, 45 nm) and silver (30 nm) nanoparticles in different concentrations on ATPase activity of native and rehydrated (delyophilized) bacteria cells has been studied. Gold and silver nanoparticles stimulated ATPase activity of native and rehydrated (delyophilizated) cells of the investigated strains.

[Veterinary probiotic preparation influence on the biochemical blood indices of young farm animals].

The veterinary probiotic preparation was developed on the basis of aerobic part of bacterial strains of normal human intestinal microflora: 3 strains of Escherichia coli--G35No1-413, G35No2-412, G35No3-411, and one Enterococcus faecalis G35No4-410 strain. The influence of a pilot lot of the prepapration on the biochemical blood indices and the state of intestinal microflora of different age groups of young farm animal (calves and piglets) was studied during the process of the commission tests. It has been shown, that the developed probiotic promotes the improvement of protein and mineral metabolism, normalization of level of enzyme activities, which show state of the native immunity of the young farm animals' organism.

[Effect of metal microelements on biochemical indices of probiotic bacteria].

The influence of metal-microelements (Zn, Cu, Ag, Au) in colloid and ionic form on the main biochemical parameters (ATP-ase activity, transmembrane potential and respiratory activity) of E. coli G35 N#1-413 and Ent. faecalis G35 N#4-410 probiont-strains has been studied with the goal to create complex metal-bearing probiotic preparations.
