Product Information

High porosity, good antimicrobial efficacy, and improved wound healing mechanism in diabetic wounds Topical colloidal silver products claim to be antimicrobial, germ-fighting agents. At least one clinical study indicates that this claim may be questionable. Other studies show some promise when silver nanoparticles are incorporated into bandages and dressings for wounds.

The organization of glycan and proteins at the surface of the cell is unique for each fungal species. The phosphate groups, located in the carbohydrate side chains of highly glycosylated cell wall proteins, give the negative charge at the surface of the fungal cell [ 119]. Studies have demonstrated the presence of sialic acid on the surface of Candida albicans cell walls [ 118, 120]. Anionic groups at the surface of the fungal cell give a high negative charge that could facilitate electrostatic interactions with different molecules and the host cell [ 121]. As mannoproteins are the major components at the surface of the cell wall and the sialic acids are considered terminal residue in the carbohydrate side chain of mannoproteins [ 119], electrostatic interactions could occur between chitosan and the fungal cell surface. Soares et al. demonstrated that sialic acids contributed to the electrical negative charge of the cell surface by facilitating the adherence of fungal cells to a cationic substrate (poly- l-lysine) [ 120].

Caetano et al. investigated the healing properties of a chitosan–alginate membrane on a cutaneous wound in rats and observed the following: the wound was not infected, fibroplasia was significantly increased, the fibroblasts were arranged better in the newly formed tissue, and the quality of scar tissue was improved. Moreover, on the 7th day of treatment with the chitosan–alginate membrane, the inflammatory infiltrate was significantly reduced, followed by a decrease of neutrophils and CD4+ lymphocytes that might indicate a better regulation of the inflammatory stimulus by the chitosan–alginate membrane. Likewise, the chitosan–alginate complex stimulated the migration of CD11B+ macrophages. These cells are very important as they continue the work of neutrophils, acting as growth factor reservoirs and releasing several enzymes that digest the remaining extracellular content, facilitating the transition to the second phase of the healing process [ 112]. Chitosan may also have the ability to regulate granulation tissue formation and angiogenesis, assuring the correct deposition of collagen fibers and further enhancing the correct repair of injured dermal tissue [ 129]. When referring to the wound healing properties of chitosan, the hemostatic and analgesic effect of this biopolymer should be considered. Chitosan’s unique hemostatic properties are independent of the normal clotting cascades [ 130]. In addition, chitosan can interact with neutrophils and macrophages and regulate the re-epithelialization process and fibroplasia [ 131, 132]. c) The demineralization step is no longer necessary for the extraction of chitosan from fungal mycelia; Bagher et al. designed alginate/chitosan-based hydrogels loaded with hesperidin for wound healing in a rat model. These hydrogels displayed suitable porosity of 91.2% with interrelated pores, appropriate swelling capacity, and biodegradability confirmed by weight loss of over 80% after 2 weeks. The in vivo wound healing studies demonstrated that the formulated hydrogels had a better wound closure when compared to the gauze-treated wound, especially the hydrogels loaded with 10% of hesperidin [ 66]. Ehterami et al. reported similar findings as Baghe et al. for alginate/chitosan-based hydrogel loaded with Alpha-tocopherol for wound management in vivo [ 67]. The porosity of the hydrogel was 89.2% with interconnected pores. It was biodegradable with a weight loss of 80% in two weeks. The wound closure was accelerated when compared to the gauze-treated wound (the control). Neo-tissue and granulation tissue formation was visible in vivo when using the hydrogel on animal models [ 67]. Accelerated wound healing with wound closure, good antibacterial activity, and good biocompatibility

Manufacturers claim Silver Serum works on acne by destroying ‘bad’ acne-causing bacteria, while preserving the good’ skin bacteria that helps keep skin strong and fights infection. The skin tends to produce more sebum in reaction to anti-bacterial agents, which means the effects if Sebopure will be reduced if they are used at the same time.

Good skin bacteria

The immobilization of bioactive molecules on the chitosan matrix, such as cell-adhesive peptides, will stimulate the cell response and cell adhesion process. In this regard, Karakeçili et al. have covalently immobilized mouse epidermal growth factor (EGF) on chitosan membranes. The mouse EGF is responsible for fibroblast proliferation. The results indicated that EGF has enhanced the proliferation of L929 mouse fibroblast cells [ 144]. Forero-Doria et al. prepared cellulose hydrogel which was conjugated with carbon nanotubes for high uptake of bioactive compounds (resveratrol, dexpanthenol, allantoin, and linezolid). The wound closure in vivo was accelerated. The release of linezolid was sustained. The hydrogel had the capability to protect the antibiotic from degradation. The hydrogel displayed good biocompatibility with L929 mouse connective tissue fibroblasts with cell viability of 95% [ 143]. Muchová et al. prepared poly(vinyl alcohol)-2,3-Dialdehyde cellulose hydrogel as wound dressings. The hydrogels displayed unique features such as high porosity, high drug-loading capacity, and good mechanical properties making them easy to handle with good adherence to the skin. They were also biocompatible and non-cytotoxic [ 144].

Here are some tips and advice on when and how to use the Clarol products and how to get the most out of them Acne is a complicated skin condition with no one-stop solution and so Sebopure will not always work for everyone. However there are some common mistakes people make that can reduce the effectiveness of Sebopure.

Wound dressings are mostly developed from biopolymers and synthetic polymers. The natural polymers that are commonly utilized include chitosan, cellulose, fibrin, elastin, hyaluronic acid, dextran, elastin, alginate, collagen, and gelatin [ 6]. These polymers possess interesting properties suitable for wound management such as good biocompatibility, non-toxicity, biodegradability, readily availability, and non-immunogenicity [ 7]. These polymers are usually cross-linked with synthetic polymers because of their poor mechanical properties. The synthetic polymers include poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP), poly(ethylene oxide)(PEO)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), Poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polyurethanes (PUs) and polyesters such as (polyglycolic acid (PGA), poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and polylactide (PLA)) [ 6, 8]. In the design of an ideal wound dressing, factors that are usually considered are their ability to stop bleeding, prevention of microbial infections, good absorption of wound exudates, easy sterilization, their ability to promote wound debridement, good gas permeability, easy to use, biodegradability, and non-toxicity [ 9].
