This study aims at restoring the skin from traumatism by use of the collagen(from piglet skin) and konjac glucomannan-chondroitin sulfate blend film. The 2 cm x 4 cm skin traumatism model was established on both sides of the waist spinal column in 14 New Zealand rabbits each weighing 1.5-2.0 kg. One
Carboxylmethylated konjac glucomannan (CKGM) is a carboxylmethylated polymer of mannose and glucose that is derived from the plant Amorphophallus konjac cultivated in East Asia. The CKGM solution had a high volume-expanding efficacy and was evaluated as a plasma substitute in the present study.
Hemorrhage control is key for reducing mortality following severe trauma. In this study, we produced a puff pastry-like chitosan/konjac glucomannan matrix loaded with thrombin-occupied microporous starch particles to initiate hemostasis. The composite showed a hierarchical porous structure system
Ideal wound dressing materials should create a good healing environment, with immediate hemostatic effects and antimicrobial activity. In this study, chitosan/konjac glucomannan (CS/KGM) films embedded with gentamicin-loaded poly(dex-GMA/AAc) nanoparticles (giving GNP-CS/KGM films) were prepared as
