Preparation, characterization and antimicrobial activities of chitosan/Ag/ZnO blend films

Canine Extremity Wound Treatment with Chitosan Extracted from Shrimp Shells: A Case Report

“…Additionally, it has been observed the chitosan's chemotactic activity promotes neutrophils without enforcing any antimicrobial activity directly to chitosan. This phenomenon may explain the chitosan as a biodegradable and bio-origin material which promotes the coagulation, early and late inflammation, proliferation and finally remodeling without any inflammatory response directly to itself [4,8,[12][13][14][15]24]. Finally, under the results of the case report, chitosan based wound materials were found to be good and effective in wound treatment and infection control in veterinary medicine, as reported earlier by Okamoto et al [15,16].…”

“…Chitosan receives increasing attention as one of the promising renewable polymeric materials for various applications, such as wound healing and hemostatic activity [3,4,8,9]. Cheung et al reported [10] bio-molecules of marine origin with a defense action against pathogenic viruses and fungi.…”

“…Post traumatic hemorrhage remains one of the most mortal causes of early death with progressive seconder infections in wounds, although chitosan dressings were developed to address these problems, minimize scarring, strengths new tissue, provides protein for healing, absorbs fluids from inflammation, blocks nerve endings to reduce pain, encourages natural blood clothing, forms barrier against infection and provides scaffold for cell growth [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. There are insufficient data in Turkey on canine wound and abscess treatment.…”

The Study Effects of Dental Composite Resin as Antibacterial Agent Which Contain Nanoparticles of Zinc Oxide on the Bacteria Associated with Oral Infection

“…the current study made an attempt to evaluation the antibacterial properties of composite resins containing zinc oxide nanoparticles against Streptococcus mutans, Pseudomonas areuginosa , Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella.spp (some species of gram positive and gram negative bacteria) , which have a significant role in recurrentcaries . Zinc oxide is a safe bactericidal metallic oxide (inorganic agent) because it isnon-toxic to animal cells in low concentrations but is very toxic to bacteria, killing them, although, the metals and metallic oxides as zinc oxide, are considered toxic to human cells at highconcentrations, they do not seem to be toxic at very low concentrations on human cells [32,[39][40][41]. In present study that was conducted on (50) caries samples , 26 isolates of bacteria from all caries specimens showed positive results due to bacterial culturing of these samples which are positive for male and female patients respectively as seen in Table 2, anyhow, our results were consistent with workers [42] observation .…”

Potential wound management of herb fabricated chitosan-zinc oxide nanocomposite

“…It has unique properties such as biocompatibility, Biodegradability and antibacterial activity which makes it a suitable polymer for biomedical applications [8]. The antibacterial activity of chitosan can be enhanced by combining inorganic agents such as Zn, Ag, CuO, TiO2 and Fe [9][10][11][12].…”
