Hyaluronic acid(HA) and Chitosan(CS) were successfully admixed with Ca^2+/alginate(SA) gel system to produce SA/HA/CS gel beads by dual crosslinking: the ionic gelation and the polyelectrolyte complexation. The preparation procedure was that the weight ratio of SA(2%, m/v) to HA(2%, m/v) was kept at 2:1, then the mixture was dripped into the Ca^2+ solution for ion-crosslinking, and finally polyelectrolyte crosslinked with 2% low molecular weight CS(LMW-CS) for 1.5 hours. The optimal formulation was achieved by adjusting the concentration and the weight ratio of SA, HA and LMW-CS. Due to the incorporation of HA and LMWCS, the swelling ratio of the beads at pH 7.4 was increased up to 120, and the time for the maximum swelling degree was prolonged to 7.5 h. The swelling behavior was obviously improved compared to the pure SA/Ca^2+ system. The preliminary results clearly suggest that the SA/HA/CS gel beads may be a potential candidate for biomedical delivery vehicles.展开更多

In the present study, calcium-induced alginate gel beads (Alg-Ca) containing weak acid salts of β-CS were prepared and examined with regard to their ability to adsorb bile acids in vitro. More than 70% of taurocholate dissolved in solution was taken up by Alg-Ca containing 100 mg β-CS, sim. ilar to the degree of uptake observed with Alg-Ca containing α-CS salt. The adsorption of bile acid was affected by the absolute amount of β-CS and/or the acid concentration of the preparation. A secondary bile acid, taurodeoxycholate, was also adsorbed by Alg-Ca containing weak acid salts of β-CS. Therefore, β-CS might be used to adsorb bile acids within the gastrointestinal tract in the same manner as an anion-exchange resin, and thus serve as a complementary means by which to prevent hyperlipidemia.展开更多

Chitosan( CS) was used to graft onto pretreated PET fibers by sol-gel method. The transformations of surface chemical structure,microcosmic morphology and thermodynamic property were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy( FTIR),X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy( XPS), scanning electron microscope( SEM), X-ray diffraction technique( XRD), and thermo gravimetric analysis( TGA),respectively. The wettability and antistatic property of PET fiber were significantly improved after modification by SE and CS.展开更多

Addition of a fixation agent composed of alcohol, glycerol and potassium hydroxide can accelerate the sol-gel transformation process and hence shorten the preparation period. The present method takes about 6 h to get a flexible membrane with fine appearance, The physical and biological properties of the membrane were also investigated and compared with the membrane prepared by conventional method.展开更多
