Synergistic amalgamation of shellac with self-antibacterial hydroxyapatite and carboxymethyl cellulose: An interactive wound dressing for ensuring safety and efficacy in preliminary in vivo studies.

This study focuses on the synergistic formulation of environmentally friendly blended materials based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) for advanced interactive wound dressing. New CMC hydrogels were prepared with two degrees of functionalization and chemically crosslinked with citric acid (CA) to fine-tune their properties. Additionally, CMC-based hybrids were created by blending with shellac (SHL) and incorporating self-antibacterial hydroxyapatite (HA) to inhibit bacterial growth and promote wound healing.

Effectiveness of a Nanohydroxyapatite-Based Hydrogel on Alveolar Bone Regeneration in Post-Extraction Sockets of Dogs with Naturally Occurring Periodontitis.

Pathological mandibular fracture after dental extraction usually occurs in dogs with moderate to severe periodontitis. A nanohydroxyapatite-based hydrogel (HAP hydrogel) was developed to diminish the limitations of hydroxyapatite for post-extraction socket preservation (PSP). However, the effect of the HAP hydrogel in dogs has still not been widely investigated.

Synthesis of Hydroxyapatite with Antibacterial Properties Using a Microwave-Assisted Combustion Method.

The prevention of implant-associated infections has been increasing clinically in orthopedic surgery. Hydroxyapatite with antibacterial properties was synthesized using a microwave-assisted combustion method. High crystallinity at low temperature can be achieved using this method.

Fabrication of g-CN and a promising charcoal property towards enhanced chromium(VI) reduction and wastewater treatment under visible light.

The visible light driven photoactivity of g-CN can be enhanced using charcoal as a supporter. Charcoal/g-CN composite materials were prepared by the simultaneous thermal condensation of melamine and charcoal. The effect of different atmospheres (O, air, and argon) on the reaction was investigated.
