Effect of novel carboxymethyl cellulose-based dressings on acute wound healing dynamics.

The clinical implications and efficacy of newly developed modified cellulose materials were evaluated in an acute wound animal model. In the current study, sixty male rats were divided into four groups. A full-thickness circular excision wound was created in the suprascapular area.

High inductive magnetic stimuli and their effects on mesenchymal stromal cells, dendritic cells, and fibroblasts.

Effects of low-frequency electromagnetic fields (LF EMF) on the activation of different tissue recovery processes have already been fully understood. Preliminary recent data demonstrated that a special case of sinusoidal electromagnetic fields, known as amplitude-modulated currents (AMC) could have a potential to accelerate the cell metabolism or cell migration. An AMC generator was designed to generate sinusoidal induced electric currents with the amplitude modulation and the harmonic carrier frequency of 5,000 Hz was modulated by frequencies of 1 to 100 Hz.

[Zinc-modified Nanotransporter for Target Drug Therapy of Breast Cancer].

Background: In the centre of nanomedical interest stands the nanotechnological modification of anthracycline antibiotics, which are often used in antitumor treatment of hematological malignancies and solid tumors. Chitosan nanoparticles are gaining more attention in the field of targeted transport of drugs because of their stability, low toxicity and simple preparation. The main objective of the project, was the design of chitosan nanotransporter of anthracycline antibiotics with zinc modified surface, for a specific interaction with metallothionein.

Nilotinib induces ER stress and cell death in H9c2 cells.

Tyrosine kinases inhibitors (TKi) represent a relatively novel class of anticancer drugs that target cellular pathways overexpressed in certain types of malignancies, such as chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML). Nilotinib, ponatinib and imatinib exhibit cardiotoxic and vascular effects. In this study, we focused on possible cardiotoxicity of nilotinib using H9c2 cells as a suitable cell model.

Activity of selected salicylamides against intestinal sulfate-reducing bacteria.

Objectives: The aim of our work was to evaluate effect of selected salicylamides on cell viability of sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio piger Vib-7 isolated from the human large intestine, as well as to assess antimicrobial activity and biological properties of these compounds.

Methods: Microbiological, biochemical, biophysical methods, and statistical processing of the results were used.

Results: An antimicrobial activity and biological properties of salicylamides against intestinal sulfate-reducing bacteria was studied.
