In order to obtain a durable anti-ultraviolet and antibacterial cotton fabric, silk fibroin, honeysuckle extract (chlorogenic acid) and citric acid were used to prepare a compound environment-friendly finishing agent, and then the cotton fabric was modified in this paper. Micro-morphology and properties were compared between cotton fabrics finished with a composite solution of silk fibroin/chlorogenic acid/citric acid and those finished first with silk fibroin then chlorogenic acid. Results showed that amidation and esterification crosslinking reactions occurred between the compounds and cotton fibers. Cotton fabric treated with the composite solution had higher UPF value (>90 after 30 launderings) and antibacterial rates (>95% for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli). There existed strong covalent bonds and good synergistic effects among silk fibroin, citric acid and chlorogenic acid, which could endow the cotton fabric with more durable anti-ultraviolet and antibacterial properties.

In this study, the authors aimed to compare the phytochemical compounds (polyphenols and flavonoids), antioxidant activity, functional groups present in the compounds (FTIR), and anti-microbial effects, in the aqueous and methanol extracts obtained from flowers of commercial Hypericum perforatum and native Papaver Rhoeas from Morocco. P. Rhoeas L was collected from El Lhaj Kaddour near Meknes, while H. perforatum L was bought in a dried state from a Moroccan herbalist in the same city. Total polyphenols were evaluated using the Folin-Ciocalteu reagent, respectively. The antioxidant activity was assessed via DPPH and antimicrobial effects were tested against six bacteria (Gram– and Gram+). The aqueous and methanol extracts of P. Rhoeas had the highest TPC value (23.67 ± 0.94 mg GAE/g; 15.86 ± 0.65 mg GAE/g) compared to H. perforatum (15.26 ± 1.30 mg GAE/g; 5.50 ± 1.13 GAE/g). The aqueous extract of Papaver Rhoeas exhibited the highest TFC at 14.36 ± 0.49 mg QE/g, while the methanol extract of Hypericum perforatum had the highest 10.65 ± 0.49 mg QE/g in TFC. In contrast, the methanol and aqueous extracts of H. perforatum showed significant zones of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus (9.5 ± 0.5 mm and 10.17 ± 0.29 mm) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (8.33 ± 0.58 mm and 9.33 ± 0.58 mm) respectively, with a minimum inhibitory concentration was estimated at 10 μL/ml. The FTIR analysis demonstrated that the extracts of both plants are rich in bioactive molecules with potential biological activities and a pharmaceutical industry perspective. Consequently, these Papaver Rhoeas and Hypericum perforatum extracts exhibit antioxidant and antibacterial activities.

Gasification is a combustion process that can converts waste into electricity. Tar waste is liquid waste from the gasification process that has not been managed and utilized. Tar waste contains toxic compounds that can pollute the environment if they enter it. Tar waste has the potential to be used as a raw material for disinfectants because it contains phenol and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds This study aims to determine the potential of tar waste as a disinfectant based on antibacterial activity tests and phenol coefficient tests with Salmonella typhimurium bacteria. Tar waste was tested for its antibacterial activity to determine the effective concentration between with concentrations of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100% that has the potential to be an active ingredient in disinfectants. The effectiveness of the disinfectant was measured by the coefficient value of tar waste compared to 5% phenol against the Salmonella typhimurium test bacteria. If the coefficient value is equal to or greater than 1, it is said that tar waste is effectively used as a disinfectant. The results showed that the effective concentration of tar waste as a raw material for disinfectant through the antibacterial activity test was 100% with an inhibition zone diameter of 0.275556 mm in the weak category. The phenol coefficient value of 100% tar waste is 0.05. The conclusion of this study is that tar waste with a concentration of 100% is not yet effective as a raw material for disinfectant according to SNI 1842:2019.

The plant mediated biogenic synthesis of nanoparticles is of magnificent concern due to its eco-benign and single pot nature. Here, Cinnamomum tamala (C. tamala) aqueous leaf extract was utilised for the silver nanoparticles’ (Ag NPs) synthesis. The phytoconstituents in the leaf extract were analysed by standard methods. These metabolites, especially carbohydrate polymers reduce Ag ions to Ag NPs accompanied by a reddish-brown coloration of the reaction mixture. The visual observation of intense brown colour is the first indication of the formation of Ag NPs. Various spectro-analytical techniques further characterise the Ag NPs. The green synthesised spherical Ag NPs were crystalline with an average size of 38 nm. The Ag NPs were scrutinised for antioxidant, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activity and obtained good results. The free radical scavenging was studied by 2, 2-Diphenyl-l-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The antibacterial activity of Ag NPs was assessed against human pathogens, and it shown to have good antibacterial potency against a wide spectrum of bacteria. The cytotoxic activity against HEK-293T (human embryonic kidney) cell line was evaluated by 2,3-bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide (XTT) assay. These potent biological activities enable C. tamala capped Ag NPs to be suitable candidates for the future applications in various fields, predominantly clinical and biomedical.

Heat treatment is the most suitable technique for altering the microstructure and, consequently, it is possible to create the optimal balance of corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in a material by carefully regulating the conditions during the heating process. The present work aims to investigate the effect of heat treatments (annealing) at (300°C) at different times (10, 20, and 30 hr) on the magnesium alloy. How the Mg17Al12 phase influences the corrosion behavior of AZ91D magnesium alloy was quantified in different solution (SBF, Lactic and Ringer). It was able to construct an extensive range of Mg17Al12 phase volume fractions by varying the annealing period. The corrosion potential of many specimens with varied proportions of the Mg17Al12 phase was evaluated. The results of the conducted tests manifested that the material's resistance to corrosion greatly improved with an increase in the volume fraction of Mg17Al12 phase. The effect of heat treatment on the microstructure was analyzed using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The SEM photographs evinced that the amount of β-Mg17Al12 phase decreased significantly, with the distribution occurring at the grain boundaries and with increasing the time of annealing, resulting in a highly saturated α-grain. The XRD validated the all material peaks of phases that are present. The corrosion test behavior of AZ91 alloy in the simulated body fluid (SBF), lactic, and Ringer solutions was investigated through electrochemical measurements, the result was elucidated as measured along the Tafel slope, and the corrosion current density of all heat treated samples was lower than that of the as-cast sample. The measurement of hardness (HV) demonstrated that the hardness decreased to (64.5 HV0.5) during the heat treatment. The result antibacterial efficiency was revealed that AZ91 at 30 hr was best then as cast against the bacteria E.coli.

W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań in vitro dotyczące cytotoksyczności i działania bakteriobójczego materiału do stosowania w endodoncji – cementu typu MTA (ang. Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) o nowym składzie chemicznym. Cement wytworzono na bazie krzemianu trójwapnia wzbogaconego ZnO i płynu będącego 15% roztworem CaCl2 , a jako czynnik wprowadzający kontrast RTG zastosowano ZrO2 . Wytworzony cement MTA oceniono poprzez scharakteryzowanie właściwości fizykochemicznych obejmujących: czas wiązania, wytrzymałość na ściskanie, a także kontrast RTG i bioaktywność w roztworze symulującym osocze (SBF). Do zbadania wpływu ziaren ZrO2 na ilość i wielkość porów w cemencie wykorzystano technikę mikrotomografii komputerowej (µCT). Działanie cytotoksyczne cementów oceniano przez zastosowanie referencyjnej linii komórkowej L-929. Warunki hodowli komórkowej w kontakcie z badanymi materiałami lub ekstraktami z cementów oceniano za pomocą analizy obrazu lub testu kolorymetrycznego MTT. Do badania aktywności przeciwbakteryjnej wykorzystano dwa szczepy paciorkowców: Streptococcus mutans i Streptococcus sanguinis. Opracowany cement typu MTA charakteryzuje się odpowiednimi właściwościami użytkowymi i spełnia wymagania zawarte w normie PN-EN ISO 10993-5:2009 „Biologiczna ocena wyrobów medycznych, część 5: Badania cytotoksyczności in vitro”. Jednak, aby mógł być rozważany jako bezpieczny wyrób medyczny do wypełniania wstecznego kanałów korzeniowych, wymaga dalszych badań.

The article presents the results of in vitro cytotoxicity and bactericidal activity of MTA-type cement (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate) for endodontics with a new chemical composition. The cement was made on the basis of ZnO-enriched tricalcium silicate and a liquid being a 15% CaCl2 solution. ZrO2 was used as an X-ray radiopacity agent in the cement. The produced MTA-type cement was assessed by characterizing the physicochemical properties including: setting time, compressive strength, as well as X-ray radiopacity and bioactivity in a simulated body fluid (SBF). Microtomography technique (µCT) was used to investigate the effect of ZrO2 grains on the number and size of pores in the cement. The cytotoxic activity of the cements was assessed by using the reference L-929 cell line. Cell culture conditions in contact with test materials or cement extracts were assessed by image analysis or MTT colorimetric test. Two strains of streptococci were used to test the antibacterial activity: Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sanguinis. The developed MTA cement has appropriate functional properties and meets the requirements of the PNEN ISO 10993-5:2009 standard "Biological evaluation of medical devices, Part 5: In vitro cytotoxicity tests". However, in order to be considered a safe medical device for retrograde root canal filling, it requires further research.

Conventional orthodontic treatment with stainless steel orthodontic wires may be detrimental to oral health, as it contributes to demineralized lesions and increases adhesion and bacterial biofilm formation, which contributes to cavity development. An alternative that has been investigated to reduce the side effects of orthodontic treatment is the use of coating materials with antimicrobial nanoparticles. This study aims to evaluate the antiadherent and antibacterial properties of TiO2-coated and TiO2:Ag-coated stainless steel orthodontic wires against S. mutans bacteria. Methods: In the sol–gel method, TiO2:Ag thin films were deposited on stainless steel orthodontic wires. Coated archwires were analyzed for their antibacterial and antiadherent properties. The evaluation of Streptococcus mutans adhesion to the orthodontic wires’ surface was conducted according to the type of coating used, biofilm formation assay, and measurement of the pH of the bacterial community. Results: In the microbiological test, the TiO2:Ag coatings revealed a statistically significant difference in terms of microbial adhesion and biofilm formation by Streptococcus mutans. The TiO2:Ag coating on stainless steel wire increased pH levels in the saliva environment. Conclusions: It can be concluded that antimicrobial orthodontic wires coated with silver- TiO2 nanoparticles using the sol–gel thin film are a promising choice for improving orthodontic treatment.

Purpose: Innovative biomedical filaments for 3D printing in the form of short and biodegradable composite sticks modified with various additives were used to prepare biomaterials for further nasal implants. As the respiratory tract is considered to be potentially exposed to contamination during the implantation procedure there is a need to modify the implant with an antibacterial additives. The purpose of this work was to analyze the effect of biodegradable polymer – polycaprolactone (PCL) modification with various additives on its antibacterial properties. Methods: PCL filament modified with graphene (0.5, 5, 10% wt.), bioglass (0.4% wt.) and zinc-doped bioglass (0.4% wt.) were used to print spatial biomaterials using FDM 3D printer. Pure polymer biomaterials without additives were used as reference samples. The key task was to assess the antimicrobial impact of the prepared biomaterials against the following microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25293, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Candida albicans ATCC 10231. Results: The research results point to a significant antibacterial efficacy of the tested materials against S. aureus and C. albicans, which, however, seems to decrease with increasing graphene content in the filaments. A complete lack of antibacterial efficacy against E. coli was determined. Conclusions: The tested biomaterials have important antibacterial properties, especially against C. albicans. The obtained results showed that biomaterials made of modified filaments can be successfully used in implantology, where a need to create temporary tissue scaffolds occurs.

Polyurethane (PU) is a polymer widely used in the biomedical field with excellent mechanical properties and good biocompatibility. However, it usually exhibits poor antibacterial properties for practical applications. Efforts are needed to improve the antibacterial activities of PU films for broader application prospect and added application values. In the present work, two PU films, TDI-P(E-co-T) and TDI-N-100-P(E-co-T), were prepared. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were composited into the TDI-N-100-P(E-co-T) film for better mechanical properties and antibacterial activities, and resultant PU/AgNPs composite film was systematically characterized and studied. The as-prepared PU/AgNPs composite film exhibits much better antibacterial properties than the traditional PU membrane, exhibiting broader application prospect.

Cross-link method has been used to load nano CeO2, ZnO, and TiO2 on the surface of cotton fabric. Three types of nanocomposite fabrics are prepared (cotton/CeO2, cotton/CeO2/ZnO, and cotton/CeO2/TiO2) and their properties were investigated. Field emission scanning electron microscopic (FESEM) images of the samples showed good distribution of nanomaterial, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) samples proved the usage of amount of nanomaterials. On the other hand, elemental mapping was used to study the distribution of each nanomaterial separately. Antibacterial property of the samples showed excellent results against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Also ultraviolet (UV)-blocking of treated samples showed that all samples have very low transmission when exposed to UV irradiation.

Hydrogel mineralization with calcium phosphate (CaP) and antibacterial activity are desirable for applications in bone regeneration. Mineralization with CaP can be induced using the enzyme alkaline phosphatase (ALP), responsible for CaP formation in bone tissue. Incorporation of polyphenols, plant-derived bactericidal molecules, was hypothesized to provide antibacterial activity and enhance ALP-induced mineralization. Three phenolic rich plant extracts from: (i) green tea, rich in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) (herafter referred to as EGCG-rich extract); (ii) pine bark and (iii) rosemary were added to gellan gum (GG) hydrogels and subsequently mineralized using ALP. The phenolic composition of the three extracts used were analyzed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MSn). EGCG-rich extract showed the highest content of phenolic compounds and promoted the highest CaP formation as corroborated by dry mass percentage meassurements and ICP-OES de-termination of mass of elemental Ca and P. All three extracts alone exhibited antibacterial activity in the following order EGCG-rich > PI > RO, respectively. However, extract-loaded and mineralized GG hydro-gels did not exhibit appreciable antibacterial activity by diffusion test. In conclusion, only the EGCG-rich extract promotes ALP-mediated mineralization.

Polyether ionophore antibiotics (ionophores) represent a large group of naturally- occurring lipophilic compounds which are able to form complexes with the metal cations and transport them across the lipid membranes. This process disturbs the intercellular Na+/K+ concentration gradient and intracellular pH, and leads to the mitochondrial damages, cell swelling, vacuolization and finally to apoptosis process. For this reason, ionophores are commonly used in veterinary medicine as the non-hormonal growth-promoting as well as coccidiostatic agents. In this group particularly interesting are monensin and salinomycin (Fig. 1) because of their proved anti-tumour activity, including efficiency against multidrug- -resistant cancer cells and cancer stem cells of different origin. Improved synthetic derivatives of both polyether ionophores are thus of considerable current interest. Selective derivatization of these structures whose display multiple reactive functional groups and, in the case of salinomycin, a sensitive tricyclic spiroketal ring system is however non-trivial. Even so, semi-synthetic analogs reported to date includes i.a. selective derivatization of the carboxyl group, the three hydroxyl groups, the ketone group, the alkene, and epimerization of the characteristic tricyclic salinomycin unit (for more details see: M. Antoszczak, A. Huczyński, B. Brzezinski, Wiad. Chem., 2017, 71, 629). On the other hand, as part of the original program to develop innovatory anti- -cancer pro-drugs and prompted by the idea that cancer cells may be individually effectively killed by monensin and salinomycin, a very interesting direction of research is bioconjugation of these ionophores. In this context, our review article is focused on the possible role of hybrids of both ionophore antibiotics with other biologically active substances (natural amino acids, Cinchona alkaloids, flavonoids, nucleosides) in anti-bacterial and anti-cancer treatment, and gives an overview of their properties.

Propolis is a waxy substance produced by the honeybee that has been used as a form of traditional medicine and natural medicine since ancient times. Propolis has a wide spectrum of alleged applications, including potential anti-infection and anti-cancer effects. The following paper used a propolis extract containing 90% ethanol solution, 70% ethanol solution, ligarine, and dichloromethane as solvents that extracted the bioactive components. The highest yield of the propolis was obtained via the 70% ethanol leaching method and dichloromethane immersion stirring method. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis proved that the extracted propolis with dichloromethane had the highest methylene content and the maximum types of effective propolis components. A Propolis/PLA electrospinning solution was prepared by adding PLA powder into the supernatant of the dichloromethane-extract of propolis (DEP) directly, with there being no need for purification of the propolis extract and thus reducing the loss of active ingredients. DEP/PLA nanofiber was prepared via the electrospinning process, where it was found that with additional 4% PLA, the final electrospun fiber membrane was stabilised. tStudy of the antibacterial performance of the DEP/PLA electrospun membrane showed that the membrane affected some of the antibacterial properties. It was particularly effective when inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus, but not as effective when inhibiting Escherichia coli. This electrostatic spinning membrane could be used for food preservation, wound healing, and tissue engineering.

Propolis ma szerokie spektrum domniemanych zastosowań, w tym potencjalne działanie przeciwinfekcyjne i przeciwnowotworowe. W pracy użyto ekstraktu propolisu zawierającego 90% roztwór etanolu, 70% roztwór etanolu, ligarinę i dichlorometan jako rozpuszczalniki, które ekstrahowały składniki bioaktywne. Najwyższą wydajność propolisu uzyskano metodą wymywania 70% etanolu i metodą mieszania zanurzeniowego w dichlorometanie. Analiza w podczerwieni z transformacją Fouriera (FTIR) wykazała, że wyekstrahowany propolis z dichlorometanem miał najwyższą zawartość metylenu i dużą skuteczność. Roztwór propolis/PLA przygotowano przez dodanie proszku PLA bezpośrednio do ekstraktu z dichlorometanu propolisu (DEP), bez potrzeby oczyszczania, tym sposobem zmniejszono utraty składników aktywnych. Nanowłókno DEP/PLA zostało przygotowane w procesie elektroprzędzenia, w którym stwierdzono, że przy 4% PLA membrana z włókien elektroprzędzonych jest stabilna. Ocena skuteczności antybakteryjnej membrany DEP/PLA wykazała, że posiada ona właściwości przeciwbakteryjne. Stwierdzono zadowalającą skuteczność w hamowaniu Staphylococcus aureus, przy jednocześnie niższej skuteczności w hamowaniu Escherichia coli. Wytworzona membrana może być używana do konserwacji żywności, gojenia się ran i w inżynierii tkankowej.

In this study, the possible improvement of the antibacterial and wrinkle resistance performance of 100% nettle fabrics was investigated. To realise this aim, antibacterial and wrinkle resistance finishing processes were applied. 1,2,3,4-Butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) and sodium hypophosphite (SHP) were used to impart the wrinkle resistance property. Moreover chitosan was incorporated in the finishing bath for the antibacterial property. The effects of respective treatments on the physical properties were determined and compared along with their antibacterial activity. BTCA concentration in the solutions influenced the physical properties of the nettle fabrics and 6% BTCA usage was found to be the optimum concentration rate. The addition of BTCA to the chitosan caused an improvement in the wrinkle resistance and slightly softer handle, in comparison with pure chitosan treatment; however, the strength loss slightly increased, as expected. The FTIR-ATR spectra showed a new peak that confirmed the ester linkage formation and crosslinking reaction.

The study aims to examine the antibacterial efficiency of cotton fabrics loaded with silver cyclo hexane mono or di carboxylates (silver naphthenates). After the synthesis of silver naphthenates, their chemical structures were analysed with spectrophotometric methods (IR and NMR). Then the usage possibility of Ag naphthenates as an antibacterial agent in the finishing of cotton fabrics was investigated. Their antimicrobial activity against three gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) nd three gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis) bacteria were studied. The stability of the antibacterial effect after repeated washings (1-5-10-20) was also tested.

This study reports the findings of an argon (Ar) plasma treatment added to the traditional pad-dry-cure process between dry and cure treatments. This new process is called the "paddry-plasma-cure process". The crosslinking agent was a mixture of dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea (DMDHEU) and maleic acid (MA). Results show that Ar plasma treatment can increase the bonded crosslinking agent (i.e., the nitrogen content). The dry crease recovery angle (DCRA), wet crease recovery angle (WCRA), and tensile strength retention (TSR) of the pad-dry-plasma-cure finished fabrics were higher than those of traditional pad-dry-cure finished fabrics at a given nitrogen content. Additionally it was found that the number of crosslinks per anhydroglucose unit (CL/AGU) and the length of crosslinks of pad-dry-plasma-cure-finished fabrics were higher than that of traditional pad-dry-cure finished fabrics at the same resin concentration in the pad bath. DCRA, WCRA and TSR values of pad-dry-plasma-cure-finished fabrics were higher than those of pad-dry-curefinished fabrics at the same CL/AGU value. However, activation energies for the pad-dryplasma-cure process were higher than those for the pad-dry-cure process. The anti-bacterial ability and odour absorption of the pad-dry-plasma-cure and pad-dry-plasma-cure finished fabrics were higher than those for the pad-dry-cure finished fabrics. The surface distribution of crosslinking agents for the pad-dry-plasma-cure process was higher than that of the pad-dry-cure process. Thus the pad-dry-plasma-cure process is excellent for improving the physical properties, bacterial inhibition, and odour absorption of finished cotton fabrics and for decreasing their formaldehyde release.

Artykułu odnosi się do problematyki możliwości i celowości wprowadzenia modyfikacji plazmowej w warunkach niskociśnieniowych i w środowisku argonu do konwencjonalnego procesu wykończenia przeciw mnącego z zastosowaniem reaktywnych żywic termoutwardzalnych. Badano kąt odprężenia na sucho i na mokro, i stwierdzono polepszenie właściwości odporności na zagniecenia w wyniku dodatkowego zastosowania plazmy. Badano również właściwości antybakteryjne i pochłanianie zapachów, które okazały się korzystniejsze dla dodatkowej obróbki plazmowej. W wyniku zmodyfikowanej obróbki uzyskano mniejsze wydzielanie formaldehydu z gotowej tkaniny.
