        AbstractSilicophosphate glasses with variable divalent ion dopants (Zn2+, Sr2+ or Cu2+) were prepared via melt annealing route. Parent and doped glasses were thermally heat-treated through a two-step regime to be converted into their glass–ceramic derivatives. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectral data were recorded for parent glasses and their glass–ceramics derivatives to identify the structural building units which reveal vibrational bands due to both main phosphate and some silicate groups and to verify the bioactivity behavior after immersion in diluted phosphate solution. X-ray diffraction studies indicate the formation of different phosphate and silicate crystalline phases in the derived glass–ceramics which varied with the type of dopant oxide. SEM investigations of the glass–ceramics before and after immersion in phosphate solution showed multicomponent microcrystalline textures in the studied micrographs before immersion. Nodular-shaped microcrystalline features were identified after immersion in phosphate solution referring to the formation of crystalline hydroxyapatite. The undoped glass–ceramic is identified to crystallize in almost equal silicate and phosphate phases, while with the dopant ZnO, SrO or CuO, the crystalline phases are only of phosphates, while the silicate phase is assumed to be retained in the surrounding remaining vitreous boundaries. پرونده مقاله

        From ancient civilizations using gold and silver for healing to the metal surgical instruments of the Renaissance, the introduction of anesthetic and antiseptic treatments in the 19th century, and the 20th century medical device revolution, the history of medical materials is an inventive one. Today, modern healthcare is being shaped by materials like bioglass.Dr. Larry Hench invented bioglass in 1969, and it has since been used extensively in biological and medical application. This brief study covers composition, bioactivity mechanisms, and healthcare applications of bioglass. Bioglass has a wide range of applications, including bone regeneration, tissue engineering, implantable devices, and more thanks to its remarkable bioactivity, biocompatibility, and tissue bonding properties. The sol-gel synthesis method, offering lower processing temperatures and uniform compositions, has gained prominence. Although there are still issues with optimizing bioglass for various biomedical uses, current research and innovation show promise for the material's future advancement in healthcare. پرونده مقاله

        Eighty-nine essential oil analyses carried out on Cameroonian plant material by gas chromatography are reviewed, and structures of sixty one main oil compounds are presented. Plant samples had been collected all over the rainforest area and further northwards, covering forty plant species belonging to ten families. For these plants, common names, traditional use as well as bioactivity and toxicity of their essential oils in vitro and in vivo are compiled. Data show that oils from leaves, bark, roots, fruit, rhizome or seeds display their own one to four main essential oil components. Each of them contributing more than 10% to over 90% of the oil&acute;s volume, which sums up to species-unique essential oil fingerprints and decreasing similarity of these fingerprints with increasing phylogenetic distance between species. This review article shows that the environmental factor include, temperature, rainfall (Littoral region), humidity (Center, South, East and West regions) and solar radiation (Adamaoua, North and Far-north regions) as well as the soil nutrients influence the secondary metabolite composition of the plants. Bioassays valorized traditional use of a good number of oils, for example against the dermatophytic fungus Trichophyton rubrum being twice as effective as amphothericin B&reg;; against the chloroquine resistant Plasmodium falciparum; against cancer cell lines; and against a variety of human pathogen bacteria, being up to ten times as effective as ciproxin&reg;, lidaprim&reg;, tetracycline hydrochloride&reg; and lidaprim&reg;. Importantly, in an experiment employing the stored product beetle Callosobruchus maculatus, the leaf oil of Lippia adoensis (Verbenaceae) indicated neurotoxicity, so that preparations should be applied with care. Follow up work may focus on bioassays with commercial pure compounds, with the goal to improve effectivity and doses calculation for traditional essential oil medicines and agricultural products. پرونده مقاله

        6 - Bioactive essential oils from the Cameroonian rain forest: A review - Part I
        Jean Duplex Wansi Norbert Sewald Lutfun Nahar Claire Martin Satyajit Dey Sarker
        Forty traditional medicinal plants from the Cameroonian rain forest belonging to twelve families are reviewed related to botanical description, taxonomy, common names, traditional use, essential oil composition as well as bioactivity and toxicity of their essential oils چکیده کامل
        Forty traditional medicinal plants from the Cameroonian rain forest belonging to twelve families are reviewed related to botanical description, taxonomy, common names, traditional use, essential oil composition as well as bioactivity and toxicity of their essential oils. A correlation is drawn between traditional use and bioactivity in vitro/in vivo, and structures of seventy-three main oil ingredients are given. Collected data indicate that plant essential oils unfold their biological activity related to functional groups of major and minor compounds, in a complex, fine-tuned interaction, modulated by environmental factors like the vegetation cycle of the plant, the altitude and the presence or absence of plant pathogen microbes, certain crop weevils as well as nematodes, varying with climatic seasons. Comparison of traditional use with laboratory results indicates effectivity of a good number of essential oils received from various plant parts, like leaves, bark, fruit, roots and rhizomes against Plasmodium falciparum, food borne microbes, dermatophytes, the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, cancer cell lines, river blindness as well as plant pathogen weevils and fungi. However, toxicological studies are needed before any recommendation for application can be given. Importantly, leaf and fruit oil of Cupressus lusitanica (Cupressaceae) displayed strong acute toxicity in animal model, and the bark oil of Cinnamomum verum (Lauraceae) showed high toxicity in a normal cell line, so that preparations should be applied with care. Preformulation and formulation studies will be needed to develop a range of suitable dosage forms to introduce optimized pharmaceuticals (high active, low toxic) as replacement of current crude plant essential oil preparations in Cameroon and other Subsaharan countries. پرونده مقاله

        In the present study, biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP)-bioactive glass-akermanite/PCL composite scaffold with high porosity (80%) was successfully fabricated using polymeric sponge replication and dip&ndash;coating methods. The composite was characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, physical and mechanical properties of the composite were evaluated using porosity and compressive strength measurements. In vitro bioactivity of the composite was carried out using simulated body fluid solution (SBF). Results showed that PCL, as a polymeric coating, incremented the mechanical strength of ceramic scaffolds from 0.97 to 1.9MPa, confirming its fundamental role in recovering the mechanical properties of scaffolds in bone tissue engineering. Bioactivity evaluation resulted in developing an apatite&ndash;like layer on the surface of the scaffolds, which verified the proper bioactivity of the scaffolds. The results showed that this novel composite scaffold has the potential to be applied as a temporary substrate for bone tissue engineering. پرونده مقاله

        The present study aimed to synthesize and characterize diopside (CaMgSi2O6) and wollastonite (CaSiO3) nano-bioceramics via a combination of mechano-chemical and calcination processes. In vitro biomineralization and cell responses of wollastonite and diopside were carried out using simulated body fluid (SBF) for up to 28 days and MG-63 osteoblast cells. Results revealed excellent tissue biomineralization of wollastonite and diopside through generating an apatite-like layer on the surface of nano-bioceramics. Wollastonite and diopside cell responses eventuated non-cytotoxicity by MG-63 osteoblast cells, and their viability and cell proliferation were verified. Results of alizarin red staining and alkaline phosphate enzyme of diopside and wollastonite evidenced great bioactivity and tissue biomineralization with respect to the release of Ca2+ and high absorption related to calcium activity, and high activity and growth of alkaline phosphate enzyme to repair bone tissue of diopside, and wollastonite was enhanced in contact with the MG-63 osteoblast cells. Regarding the addition of Mg2+ into the calcium-silicate network for the chemical stability network to improve biological properties, results of biological assays verified that diopside possessed high biological and cell responses in comparison to wollastonite; and both of them can be suggested as great bioactive and biocompatible candidates for biomedical applications. پرونده مقاله
