Purpose: To detect whether chitin and sepia ink sponge (CS) can promote wound healing and elevate impact of CS on phagocytosis ability of macrophages.
Methods: Forty-eight rats were assigned to four groups: Normal group (Normal), negative control group (Con), chitin and sepia ink sponge group (CS) and positive control Surgicel Gauze(r) group (SG). Deep second-degree burn model was created in rats. Wound area was recorded by digital imaging and determined using Image J software. Samples were collected and kept at -80oC on 3d, 7d, 14d and 21d for cytokines detecting. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, interleukin (IL)-6, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, hydroxyproline (Hyp) and macrophage activity reflected by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results: Comparing to Con and SG, scabs in CS group fell off and basically healed on 21 day. TGF-β1, IL-6, MMP-1 and Hyp were significantly increased by CS and SG comparing to Con (p < 0.05), CS had more apparently adjustment on TGF-β1 and MMP-1 compared to SG; results in vitro indicated CS significantly promoted phagocytosis ability of macrophages reflected in TNF-α (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: CS improved wound healing through exerting significant influences on secretion of kinds of cytokines and activating macrophages.

Phosphorylated chitosan, derived from the internal bone of Sepia kobiensis (Hoyle, 1885), has been investigated for its antimicrobial properties against oral pathogens. Chitosan's solubility in water and its biological effectiveness were enhanced through the alteration of its composition with orthophosphoric acid and dimethylformamide (DMF). Structural analysis for both chitosan and phosphorylated chitosan was performed using FTIR spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Article Synopsis
- Chitosan, a biopolymer from chitin, has beneficial properties like antibacterial and biodegradability, making it a good candidate for dental treatments, especially when enhanced by phosphorylation from cuttlebone.
- The study aimed to create phosphorylated chitosan from cuttlebone and test its effectiveness against oral pathogens at different concentrations.
- Results showed that 100% phosphorylated chitosan effectively inhibited certain bacteria, indicating its potential as a dental care material, particularly against infections.

Background This study aimed to isolate linear polysaccharides from cuttlebone with the objective of evaluating their ability to scavenge free radicals. By providing new natural components for pharmaceutical and functional food uses, this research advances our understanding of the potential health benefits of polysaccharides originating from marine sources and their antioxidant properties. Objective The objective of the study is to isolate a linear polysaccharide chitosan from cuttlebone (produced by the partial deacetylation of chitin), characterize its structure using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and explore the isolated polysaccharide's free radical scavenging potential.

The present work aimed to synthesis of chitin, chitosan and sulfation of chitosan from cuttlebone of cuttlefish . Principally chitin was extracted through sequential processes of demineralisation and deproteinzation. Then chitosan was synthesized by a deacetylation and finally sulfated at semi-heterogeneous condition using chlorosulfonic acid in ,-dimethylformamide.
