O presente estudo teve por objetivo desenvolver e investigar experimentalmente as potencialidades de aplicação de bioadesivo a base de amido aditivado, como sistema patches transdérmico e intradérmico epitelial, em formato de filme monolaminar tubular, visando à ação futura para administração de anti-inflamatórios, antimicrobianos e atuação terapêutica. Foram utilizados 20 coelhos machos e fêmeas, da raça Nova Zelândia, adultos, separados em quatro grupos com cinco animais que passaram por cirurgia para realização de defeito dérmico. O grupo GA e o grupo GB (controle dérmico e intradérmico negativos respectivamente) não receberam biomaterial na ferida. Os animais do grupo GC receberam o biofilme adesivo de forma dérmica que foi suturado sobre a ferida e o grupo GD, recebeu o biofilme adesivo de forma intradérmica. Aos sete e 14 dias de pós-operatório os animais foram anestesiados novamente para criação do defeito para biópsia. A análise estatística da planimetria foi conduzida a partir da média dos grupos, utilizando-se o teste de Tukey a significância de 1%, através do software computacional estatístico SAS®. A pesquisa demonstrou que o biofilme utilizado até sete dias reduz o processo inflamatório e estimula a neoangiogênse.
This study aims to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of basil, marjoram, nutmeg, and oregano essential oils to use the essential oil with better results for Quark-type cheese preservation. To verify the shelf life of Quark-type cheese without essential oil (CTL) and Quark-type cheese added with 0.05% essential oil (OE), microbiological and physicochemical analyses were performed for 35 days (4 °C). The acceptability of the product was also evaluated. The oregano essential oil showed strong antimicrobial activity in the disk-diffusion test (34.0 to 51.0 mm), and lower values of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) against all species of bacteria tested. A lower mold and yeast count (p < 0.05) was observed during storage in OE denoting a positive effect in delaying its deterioration. On the other hand, there was no difference (p > 0.05) between the CTL and OE count of total mesophiles and Enterobacteriaceae. For the physicochemical parameters evaluated, there were no significant differences between the CTL and OE, thus denoting that the typical characteristics of this cheese were maintained. The Quark-type cheese added with oregano essential oil also showed good acceptability (> 7), which is a way to preserve the product with a natural additive.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
