Assessment of Spasticity by a Pendulum Test in SCI Patients Who Exercise FES Cycling or Receive only Conventional Therapy
(IEEE, 2018)
Increased muscle tone and exaggerated tendon reflexes characterize most of the individuals after a spinal cord injury (SCI). We estimated seven parameters from the pendulum test and used them to compare with the Ashworth ...
Chitosan-PLGA polymer blends as coatings for hydroxyapatite nanoparticles and their effect on antimicrobial properties, osteoconductivity and regeneration of osseous tissues
(Materials science & engineering. C, Materials for biological applications, 2016)
Composite biomaterials comprising nanostructured hydroxyapatite (HAp) have an enormous potential for natural bone tissue reparation, filling and augmentation. Chitosan (Ch) as a naturally derived polymer has many physicochemical ...
Optimization of CaO-catalyzed sunflower oil methanolysis with crude biodiesel as a cosolvent
(Elsevier, 2019)
Crude biodiesel was proven as a cosolvent in the methanolysis of sunflower oil catalyzed by calcined CaO. This reaction was modeled and optimized statistically in terms of reaction temperature (33.2–66.8 °C), methanol-to-oil ...
Composite PLGA/AgNpPGA/AscH Nanospheres with Combined Osteoinductive, Antioxidative, and Antimicrobial Activities
(ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 2013)
The global rise in the resistance of pathogens to conventional antibiotics has created an intensive search for alternative materials with antimicrobial properties. This study is performed with an intention to investigate ...
Integer codes correcting sparse byte errors
(Springer, 2019)
In public optical networks, the data are scrambled with a xu + 1 self-synchronous scramblers (SSSs). The reason for this is to avoid long strings of ones or zeros, which might affect the receiver synchronization. Unfortunately, ...
Effects of different mechanical treatments on structural changes of lignocellulosic waste biomass and subsequent Cu(II) removal kinetics
(Elsevier, 2019)
In this paper, the character of structural changes induced by different mechanical treatments to Prunus persica stones (PSs), and its subsequent effect on biosorption kinetics of Cu(II) were investigated. PSs were processed ...
Development of lyophilized spherical particles of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) and examination of their morphology, cytocompatibility and influence on the formation of reactive oxygen species
(Paris : Association de pharmacie galenique industrielle, 2014)
A common limitation of using polymeric micro- and nanoparticles in long-term conservation is due to their poor physical and chemical stability. Freeze-drying is one of the most convenient methods that enable further ...
DNA damage and alterations in expression of DNA damage responsive genes induced by TiO2 nanoparticles in human hepatoma HepG2 cells
(Oxon : Taylor & Francis, 2011)
We investigated the genotoxic responses to two types of TiO2 nanoparticles (<25 nm anatase: TiO2-An, and <100 nm rutile: TiO2-Ru) in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Under the applied exposure conditions the particles were ...
Structural investigation of mechanically activated ZnO powder
(Elsevier, 2015)
Abstract Commercially available ZnO powder was mechanically activated in a planetary ball mill. In order to investigate the specific surface area, pore volume and microstructure of non-activated and mechanically activated ...
45S5Bioglass®-based scaffolds coated with selenium nanoparticles or with poly(lactide-co-glycolide)/selenium particles: Processing, evaluation and antibacterial activity
(Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2015)
n the bone tissue engineering field, there is a growing interest in the application of bioactive glass scaffolds (45S5Bioglass®) due to their bone bonding ability, osteoconductivity and osteoinductivity. However, such ...
