Preparation and investigation of nano- carbonated hydroxyapatite/polymer composite spongy scaffolds for biomedical applications

, , , , , , , , , ,
Spongy scaffolds containing nano-Carbonated Hydroxyapatite (nCHA), with composition Ca10(PO4)6-y(CO3)y(OH)2,with y=2,4, were prepared by the lyophilization method. Different polymers, natural gelatin (G), chitosan (CS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), alone or in combination, were used to make [...]

Nonclinical evaluation of heparin binding copolymer – HBC1 for restoring of blood coagulation after heparin treatment

, , , , , , , , , , , , ,
The incredible progress and wide use of various medical devices during intravascular or cardiac interventions increased the need for administration of anticoagulants, such as heparins. Protamine sulfate – a protein isolated from salmons is the [...]

Dex40-GTMAC3, modified dextran as a novel heparin antagonist

, , , , , , , , , , , ,
Protamine is the only registered antidote preventing bleeding of patients treated with unfractionated heparin (UFH). However protamine may induce anaphylactic shock or serious hypotension. We aimed to develop an alternative fully synthetic UFH antidote as [...]
