alginate/edema

BACKGROUND Although lactoferrin (LF) possesses useful functions such as antitumor, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory acitivities, it is subject to gastric digestion, resulting in the reduction of efficacy. Therefore, it is important to develop a system delivering LF efficiently to intestinal mucosa

OBJECTIVE Frusemide loaded calcium alginate micropellets, an oral microparticulate delivery system, was statistically optimized exhibiting prolonged therapeutic action minimizing its adverse effects. METHODS Ionotropic Gelation technique was adopted employing 3(2) Factorial designs and keeping the

Alginates are unbranched polymers of polysaccharide presented as the structural components of marine brown algae. The proinflammatory activity of SVHV, an alginate isolated from Sargassum vulgare, was investigated using models of paw edema, mast cells degranulation and neutrophil migration in vivo.

Salmon myofibrillar protein (Mf) was investigated as a source of edible anti-inflammatory products. Peptides produced by stepwise digestion of Mf (without carbohydrate) with pepsin and trypsin had little effect on the secretion of inflammation-related compounds from lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW

In this study, silk sericin loaded alginate nanoparticles were prepared by the emulsification method followed by internal crosslinking. The effects of various silk sericin loading concentration on particle size, shape, thermal properties, and release characteristics were investigated. The initial

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the efficacy of hydroxytyrosol in the local treatment of inflammatory colitis. Currently, the existing treatments for inflammatory bowel diseases does not cure the disease and it is associated with high rates of side effects and complications. Hydroxytyrosol is a

Celecoxib (CXB) is a COX-2-selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug used to control pain and various inflammatory conditions. CXB has limited oral bioavailability and a slow dissociation rate due to its poor water solubility. In order to enhance the oral bioavailability of CXB and reduce the

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease resulting pruritic, erythema, edema, excoriation, and thickening of the skin, and thus leads to significant impairment in the patient's life. The objective of this study is to develop a steroid drug [prednisolone (PS)]-loaded coatable

Cissus gum has been employed as polymer with sodium alginate in the formulation of diclofenac microbeads and the in vivo mucoprotective properties of the polymer in anti-inflammatory therapy assessed in rats with carrageenan-induced paw edema in comparison to diclofenac powder and commercial

OBJECTIVE To analyze the effects of an extracorporeal bioartificial liver containing alginate bead-entrapped hepatocytes on pigs with ischemia-induced acute hepatic failure. METHODS Prospective animal study. METHODS University and INSERM laboratory. METHODS Fifteen Large White/Pietrin female pigs

BACKGROUND The lymphatic system regulates interstitial tissue fluid balance, and lymphatic malfunction causes edema. The heart has an extensive lymphatic network displaying a dynamic range of lymph flow in physiology. Myocardial edema occurs in many cardiovascular diseases, eg, myocardial infarction

Optimal medical treatment of ischemic diabetic ulcers is multifactorial. Infection is very common and it is necessary to distinguish between limb or life threatening infections and non-limb-threatening infections. The major pathogen associated with non-limb-threatening infection is staphylococcus

BACKGROUND This study presents clinical cases collecting etiologies that are more frequent in the field of complex wounds. All require a specific approach, as well as the interdisciplinary participation of different members of the team. But in general, established local cure plans may be quite

Diabetic ulcers and pressure ulcers represent a more frequent cause of chronic wounds in aging populations. It is estimated that approximately 15% of the diabetic population will develop diabetic ulcers during their life and over half of these patients develop an infection, often osteomyelitis, with

OBJECTIVE To establish a rat model of chronic pulmonary infection by inoculating two different Pseudomonas aeruginosa embedded in minute seaweed alginate beads made by an ejection set with an acuminata hole to Sprague-Dawley rats. To evaluate the animal model with bacteriology and pathology
