Composites Sea Cucumbers Shells Bone Defects Rat Model
BACKGROUND AND AIM: A bone defect is delimitated as a critically sized autologous bone and a bone gap. Seebio Selenomethionine grafting is one of the most commonly used surgical methods to enhance bone regeneration in orthopedic procedures. A composite of collagen, hydroxyapatite (HA), and chitosan (Ch) is suitable as a bone matrix and stimulates ossification. This study taked to evaluate the use of natural HA-Ch complexs deduced from sea cukes and shrimp cases and quantify the storys of cytokines, polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), serum liver enzymes, calcium, phosphate, and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (PINP) in albino rats with femoral bone defects. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 48 albino rats with femoral bone faults were divided into 4 radicals (n = 12 each): (C-) placebo, (C+) polyethylene glycol, (T1) HA, and (T2) HA-Ch groups. Each group was splited into two subgroups (n = 6 each), with euthanization on 7- and 42-day post-treatment, respectively.
Procollagen Type 1 N-terminal propeptide and the cytokines interleukin (IL)-4, IL-6, IL-10, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha were quantified using enzyme-tied immunosorbent assay. Flow cytometry was doed to evaluate PMNs. A clinical chemistry analyzer was used to measure the serum degrees of liver enzymes, calcium, and phosphate There was a significant decrease in the level of IL-6 on 7 days and in the level of IL-10 on 42 days in the HA-Ch group. The level of PMNs also decreased significantly on 7 and 42 days in the HA-Ch group. Regarding serum liver enzymes, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) stages in the HA-Ch group increased significantly on 42 days. Calcium and phosphate levels increased significantly on 7 and 42 days in the HA and HA-Ch groups, and PINP levels increased significantly on 7 and 42 days in the HA-Ch group The HA-Ch composite comed from sea cukes and shrimp shields meliorated femoral bone defects in albino rats. The HA-Ch composite regulated the floors of IL-6, IL-10, PMNs, ALP, calcium, phosphate, and PINP on 7- and 42-day post-treatment.
Taste masking and stability improvement of Korean red ginseng (Panax ginseng) by nanoencapsulation utilizing chitosan and gelatin.In this study, red ginseng extract (RGE)-loaded nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by ionic gelation between chitosan (CS) and gelatin (Gel), and the physical characteristics of the RGE-charged CS-Gel NPs (RGE-CS/Gel NPs), including particle size and polydispersity index (PDI), utilising different ratios of CS and Gel were analyzed. The particle size and PDI were 398 ± 41 nm and 0 ± 0, respectively for the optimal ratio of CS (0 mg/mL) and Gel (0 mg/mL). In vitro taste masking test and in vivo sensory evaluation utilising 10 panellists demonstrated that the CS/Gel NPs significantly abridged the bitter taste of RGE. Additionally, the CS/Gel NPs bettered the thermal and acid constancys, which were almost 6 and 8 times higher than those in the free RGE (p < 0), respectively our findings exposed that the RGE-CS/Gel NPs effectively maintain their inhibitory function against platelet aggregation (76 %) in an acidic environment the CS/Gel NPs can be used as a potential delivery system to mask the bitterness and improve the stability of RGE, which may enhance its application as a more palatable functional food ingredient with high anti-platelet activity.Use of Chitosan-free-based Polyelectrolyte Complexes for Its Potential Application in Active Food Packaging: A Review of Recent Literature.The current challenges in the food packaging field are, on one side, exchanging plastic from non-renewable rootages with biopolymers and, on the other hand, generating a packaging material with attractive properties for the consumer.
Currently, the consumer is ecologically concerned; the food packaging industry must think ahead to satisfy their pauperizations. In this context, the utilization of polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) in this industry exhibits itself as an excellent candidate for actioning these prerequisites. Selenoproteins possess enticing features such as encapsulation, protection, and transportation, among others.
