Inhibitory activity of fibrin-collagen substance (FCS) impregnated by various antibacterial agents against various microorganisms was investigated. It was demonstrated that antibacterials bind well with FCS, providing its sufficient antibacterial activity. Determination of growth-inhibition zones showed that antibacterial agents diffuse into medium well and demonstrated the same activity as discs with antibiotics. For clinical practice it is recommended to use for impregnation the following drugs: gentamycin, meropenem, cefriaxone and ciprofloxacin.

Nanomedical applications have increased significantly. This work aimed to fabricate and characterize cobalt oxide nanoparticles (CoOnps) synthesized biologically via aqueous Alhagi maurorum extract and evaluate their cytotoxic and antimicrobial impacts. Green-synthesized CoOnps were prepared and analyzed using UV-Vis spectrophotometer UV-vis, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscopy TEM, Energy dispersive X-ray analysis EDAX, Fourier transform infrared, FTIR, and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Smart antibacterial Pickering emulsion can respond to the stimulation of environmental conditions to control the release of antibacterial agents, protecting the quality and safety of food. In this study, FeO was grafted on the cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) via ultrasound-assisted in situ co-precipitation to synthesize the magnetic cellulose nanocomposite particles. When the ratio of FeCl and FeCl was 1.

Emergency bleeding presents significant challenges such as high blood flow and rapid hemorrhaging. However, many existing hemostatic bandages face limitations, including the uncontrolled release of hemostatic agents, insufficient mechanical strength, poor adhesion, and complex manufacturing processes. To address these limitations, we developed a multifunctional hydrogel bandage for emergency hemostasis using a one-pot synthesis method.

This study introduces an innovative bio-based sorbent bead crafted by integrating chitosan (CS) biopolymers, Fe(NO3)3 and polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs) via glutaraldehyde crosslinking. The primary focus of this study was the concurrent separation of diverse tetracycline antibiotics (TCs), followed by rigorous reversed-phase liquid chromatography analysis. The fabricated CS/Fe@PDA sorbent beads were comprehensively characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, revealing a surface rich in active carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and oxygen (O) moieties.
