AB  - Liposome-encapsulated folic acid is incorporated into the films made from sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) (2 mas%) and a mixture of CMC and solagum (9:1 w/w) using the film-forming cast solution method. Histidine is used to increase solubility for folic acid in liposomes (1–5 mg mL−1), and propylene glycol is used as a film plasticizer (2.6 mas%). The obtained films (50–60 µm tick) containing 3.12–20.19 mg of folic acid per gram of film are envisaged to be used as patches for transdermal delivery of folic acid. Therefore, some physical, mechanical, release and structural attributes of the films are scrutinized. Folic acid gives yellow color to the films and contributes to stronger chemical bonds which result in improved strength of the film. Liposomes prolong the release of folic acid from films to 24 h without adverse effects on mechanical properties of the films, but degrade homogeneity of the films, which can be ascribed to its agglomeration within the film matrix as revealed by atomic force microscopy. According to the release at pH 5.5, the film formulation based on a blend of CMC and solagum containing 3 mg mL−1 liposome-encapsulated folic acid is recommended. Practical Application: Folic acid is effective in reducing oxidative stress levels in the skin and neutralizing the harmful free radicals and is also essential for various metabolic reactions in the body. However, the limited solubility of folic acid linked with its poor absorption in an organism, low storage stability, short half-life upon oral consumption, specific food preferences of some people, extensive liver metabolism, and pregnancy-induced vomiting point to a large potential in transdermal usage of folic acid. This has motivated us to design new multicomponent polymer-lipid systems as an alternative solution to overcome some of these drawbacks. The results obtained for these multicomponent films pointed to their potential for prolonged release of folic acid to 24 h, which can also be useful for scientists interested in encapsulating similar poorly soluble compounds in CMC patches. The finding can be also valuable information for pharmaceutical manufacturers and scientists worldwide.

AB  - Wooden cultural heritage serves as a very important source of information for historians and researchers. Also, it imposes an obligation on the science to keep this legacy for future generations in a proper condition. Among other techniques of conservation of wooden cultural heritage, a very suitable method is impregnation of the wood with the polymer, whereby the wood/polymer composites are formed. This paper describes the method of preparing the wood/polymer composites based on beechwood, using five different monomer systems. The method of lyophilization and subsequent polymerization by gamma radiation was used. After lyophilization and immersing in the monomer solutions, the wood samples were dried and irradiated with a dose of 25 kGy and different gamma irradiation dose rates. The weight of the samples before and after this procedure was measured. Also, changes in the mechanical properties of wood (compression test) before and after treatment were examined. We also examined the effect of radiation dose rate on polymerization. Based on the weight differences, dose rates and materials characterization we determined which of the monomer solution and dose rate are the most suitable for making beechwood/polymer composites. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd

AB  - Metallic materials, such as Co-Cr-Mo alloys, are exposed to aggressive conditions in the oral cavity that represents an ideal environment for metallic ion release and biodegradation. The metallic ions released from dental materials can cause local and/or systemic adverse effects in the human body. Therefore, dental materials are required to possess appropriate mechanical, physical, chemical and biological properties. The biocompatibility of metallic materials is very important for dental applications. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to examine metallic ion release and cytotoxicity of Co-30Cr-5Mo cast alloy as the initial phase of biocompatibility evaluation. Determination of the viability of human (MRC-5) and animal (L929) fibroblast cells were conducted using three in vitro test methods: the colorimetric methyl-thiazol-tetrazolium (MTT) test, the dye exclusion test (DET) and the agar diffusion test (ADT). Furthermore, the morphology and growth of the cells were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The obtained results indicated that Co-30Cr-5Mo alloy did not release harmful elements in concentrations high enough to have detrimental effects on human and animal fibroblasts under the given experimental conditions. Moreover, the fibroblast cells showed good adhesion on the surface of the Co-30Cr-5Mo alloy. Therefore, it could be concluded that Co-30Cr-5Mo alloy is a biocompatible material that could be safely used in dentistry.
