Polysaccharide C (poly C) has been isolated from two strains of S. epidermidis and characterized chemically. The results suggest that poly C is a wall N-acetylglucosaminylglycerol teichoic acid, linked through 1:3-phosphodiester linkages. One poly C preparation contained only beta-linked N-acetyglucosamine, the other traces of alpha-linked sugar in addition. The degree of substitution of sugar in the poly C preparations from the two strains was about 50 and 25 per cent.

Background: To investigate the antibiofilm effect and mechanism of the silver nanowire (AgNW)-modified glass ionomer cement (GIC) against multi-species oral biofilm, and to examine the mechanical and biochemical properties of this novel GIC material.
Methods: Conventional GIC was incorporated with different concentrations of AgNW and silver nanoparticles (AgNP). Multi-species biofilms of Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sobrinus, Lactobacillus fermentum, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus were cultured for 72 h on GIC specimens.

This study aims to evaluate two of the most commonly used products, the collagen-based patch (Hemopatch) and the micropolysaccharide microspheres powder (Perclot), in the context of stab liver injury in pigs. The objectives of this study were to assess blood loss at various time intervals up to 24 h, survival rates, and mean arterial pressure. The research involved 18 Large-White swine.

In this study, a polysaccharide component was extracted from Pinus pumila using biomimetic-microwave assisted alkali tandem extraction and then purified by DEAE-52 and Sephadex G-200. A new purified polysaccharide (PSP c-a) was determined through in vitro tracking. The structural features were characterized using a HPGP, FTIR, IC and NMR spectroscopy.

Printable protein-based medium internal phase emulsions (MIPEs) with low oil fraction have the advantages of reducing the incidence of obesity, coronary heart disease and hypertension. However, the development of printable protein-based MIPEs is still a considerable challenge because reducing oil content will cause phase separation and increase the fluidity of emulsion. In this study, we successfully prepared printable MIPEs (φ = 40 %) inks by co-stabilizing with casein and tamarind seed polysaccharide (TSP) and using post-acid modification technology.

Probiotics have brought many health benefits to the human body. However, their viability during gastrointestinal transit is a concern. Therefore, this study selected Mesona chinensis polysaccharide (MCP), an edible natural polysaccharide, and constructed a new type of microcapsules using MCP as raw material to prepare cross-linked calcium ions through a microfluidic system as an ideal intestinal targeting carrier to achieve precise delivery of bioactive substances.
