OM-loaded Suc-Chi nanoparticles were prepared by an ionotropic gelation process and OM was quantified via the HPLC method： The influences of the initial OM concentration on the nanoparticle characteristics and OM release behavior were evaluated. The nanoparticles were found to have a mean diameter within a range of 267-392 nm, a positive surface charge, and a zeta potential in the range of 19-27 inV. The formulation with an initial OM concentration of 100μg/mL provided the highest loaded capacity（0. 77% ） and the highest extent of the released OM （68% at 24 h）, suggesting the possibility to achieve a therapeutic dose. According to the data obtained, this Suc-Chi-based nanotechnology will open up new and interesting prospects for the development of new anticancer drugs.展开更多

The potassium persulfate（KPS）, N, N＇-methylenebisacrylamide（MBA） were used as the initiator and crosslinker, respectively. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FTIR） and scanning electron microscopy（SEM） were used to confirm the porous network structure of superabsorbent hydrogel. The effects of reaction parameters on the swelling behaviors of the superabsorbent hydrogels were investigated. The results indicated that water absorbency increased first, and then decreased gradually with the increase in the contents of monomer（AA＋AM）, KPS, MBA or acrylamide. The product had excellent water absorbency of 1375 g/g in distilled water and 83 g/g in 0.9wt% NaCl solution. Simultaneously, the superabsorbent hydrogels were p H sensitive. The antibacterial activities of the hydrogels against Escherichia coli（E. coli） were improved effectively because of polyamidoamine（PAMAM） dendrimer absorbed in the hydrogels.展开更多

The bacteriostasis ratios of NSCS-Fs against E. coli, S. aureus and C. albicans were higher than 80%. No cytotoxicity has been found for mouse embryo fibroblasts （MEFs） treated with NSCS-Fs leach liquor, Acute oral toxicity and skin irritation experiment were taken to evaluate the safety of NSCS-Fs in vitro. Muscle implant study showed that NSCS-Fs were biodegradable and non-toxic in vivo. These results suggested that the surface modified NSCS-Fs had favorable biological properties and improved liquor absorptivity, indicating that they could be used as promising dressing materials for wound care.展开更多

The structure of the low molecular weight N-succinyl-chitosan was characterized by infrared spectroscopy(IR), by which —COCH_ 2CH_ 2COOH was proved to be introduced to the —NH_ 2 of the low molecular weight chitosan. The moisture adsorption and moisture retention capacities of the low molecular weight chitosan derivatives with different degrees of substitution were investigated. The results indicate that the moisture adsorption and moisture retention capacities of the low molecular weight N-succinyl-chitosan increase with the increase of the degree of substitution. When the degree of substitution is greater than 38%, the derivatives have better moisture adsorption and moisture retention capacities than hyaluronic acid.展开更多
