We aimed to prepare a bioactive and biodegradable bilayer mesh formed by fibroblast growth factor (FGF) loaded gelatin film layer, and poly epsilon-caprolactone (PCL) film layer, and to investigate its treatment efficacy on esophageal anastomosis. It is envisaged that the bioactive mesh in in vivo model would improve tissue healing in rats. The full thickness semicircular defects of 0.5 x 0.5 cm(2) were created in anterior walls of abdominal esophagus. The control group had abdominal esophagus isolated with distal esophageal blunt dissection, and sham group had primary anastomosis. In the test groups, the defects were covered with bilayer polymeric meshes containing FGF (5 mu g/2 cm(2)), or not. All rats were sacrificed for histopathology investigation after 7 or 28 days of operation. The groups are coded as FGF(-)-7th day, FGF(+)-7th day, and FGF(+)-28th day, based on their content and operation day. Highest burst pressures were obtained for FGF(+)-7th day, and FGF(+)-28th day groups (p < 0.005) and decreased inflammation grades were observed. Submucosal and muscular collagen deposition scores were markedly increased in these groups compared to sham and FGF(-)-7th day groups having no FGF (p = 0.002, p = 0.001, respectively). It was proved that FGF loaded bioactive bilayer mesh provided effective repair, reinforcement and tissue healing of esophageal defects.

Bacterial anti-adhesive and pH-induced antibacterial agent releasing ultra-thin films of zwitterionic copolymer micelles
Onat, Bora; Butun, Vural; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Erel Göktepe, İrem (2016-08-01)
We report on preparation of substrates with dual function coatings, i.e. bacterial anti-adhesive and antibacterial agent releasing polymer films of zwitterionic block copolymer micelles (BCMs). BCMs were obtained by pH-induced self-assembly of poly[3-dimethyl (methacryloyloxyethyl) ammonium propane sulfonate-b-2-(diisopropylamino)ethyl methacrylate] (beta PDMA-b-PDPA), resulting in BCMs with zwitterionic beta PDMA-coronae and pH-responsive PDPA-core. These zwitterionic BCMs were then used as building blocks...
Improved solubility of celecoxib by inclusion in SBA-15 mesoporous silica: Drug loading in different solvents and release
Eren, Zeynep Seda; Tuncer, Sinem; Gezer, Gamze; Yildirim, Leyla Tatar; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Yılmaz, Ayşen (2016-11-15)
In this study, celecoxib (CLX), a highly hydrophobic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with relatively low bioavailability, was used as a model drug to determine loading in different solvents and release properties from silica particles. Hydrothermal synthesis method was used to synthesize SBA-15 particles, which were functionalized by post-synthesis grafting method with (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES). Additionally, boron doped SBA-15 samples were prepared to generate borosilicate samples. After ...
Mimicking corneal stroma using keratocyte-loaded photopolymerizable methacrylated gelatin hydrogels
Bektas, Cemile Kilic; Hasırcı, Vasıf Nejat (2018-04-01)
Cell-laden methacrylated gelatin (GelMA) hydrogels with high (approximately 90%) transparency were prepared to mimic the natural form and function of corneal stroma. They were synthesized from GelMA with a methacrylation degree of 70% as determined by nuclear magnetic resonance. Hydrogels were strong enough to withstand handling. Stability studies showed that 87% of the GelMA hydrogels remained after 21 days in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). Cell viability in the first 2 days was over 90% for the human ke...
Improvement of adhesion between poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polyethylene
Durgun, H; Bayram, Göknur (Informa UK Limited, 2005-01-01)
Three-layer films were prepared with polyethylene (PE) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films as the outer layers and a film of high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA) terpolymer blend as the inner layer using compression molding. E-MA-GMA, an elastomer containing an epoxy functional group, was used as the adhesion promoting agent in the multilayer films. The effects of processing temperature, pressure application time and elastomer concentration on a...
Modelling of asymmetric membrane formation
Mchugh, A.j.; Yılmaz, Levent (American Chemical Society; 1986-09-01)
Asymmetric membranes are generally prepared by the phase inversion techniques, the principal steps of which involve casting a thin film of a homogeneous polymer solution onto a suitable substrate, followed by quenching in a nonsolvent bath to precipitate the membrane film. Since most studies of the process has been concerned with the development of specific preparation recipies, explanations of structure formation have generally been ad-hoc and qualitative. This paper presents the results of recent modellin...
