Bismuth-nanosheet-armed pristine silk nanofiber dressing for multimodal pathoge...
Gu, X.; Yu, Y.; Zhong, S.; Zheng, M.; Zhang, M.; Wang, J.; Xu, Z.; Wan, Q.; Kundu, Subhas C; Yang, M.; Shuai, Y.Traditional antibiotic-based therapies for treating infectious wounds often face challenges in balancing long-term biosafety, promoting wound healing, and effectively eradicating bacteria. Herein, we introduce an innovative "top-down" approach to fabricating one-dimensional (1D) pristine silk nanofibers (SNFs) by the gradual exfoliation of silk fibers, preserving their inherent semi-crystalline structure. These...
An assessment framework for the training of general practitioners and specialis...
Gao, S.; Li, N.; Wang, X.; Yu, Y.; Zhao, R.; Trigo, V.; Ramalho, N.Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the practicality and feasibility of EPA (level 4 theory) for establishing medical training and service model in China. Method: We opted for a mixed qualitative and quantitative research method, considering both explanatory and exploratory sequential designs. The qualitative research comprehended focus groups and interviews conducted with two panels of experts. Th...
Enzymatic hydrophobization of jute fabrics and its effect on the mechanical and...
Dong, A.; Wu, H.; Fan, X.; Wang, Q.; Yu, Y.; Cavaco-Paulo, ArturIn this work, a hydrophobic surface of lignocellulosic jute fabric was achieved via the laccase-mediated grafting of octadecylamine (OA) on lignin moieties of jute aiming to improve the interfacial compatibility with the hydrophobic polypropylene (PP) resins in the fiber-reinforced composites. Firstly, the surface and total elemental compositions of the modified jute fabrics were investigated by X-ray photoelec...
Effect of immobilized cellulase enzyme treatment on properties of ramie fabric
Ni, X.; Yu, Y.; Wang, Q.; Fan, X.; Cavaco-Paulo, Artur; Yuan, J.In this study, Eudragit S-100 has been covalently bound to the cellulase enzyme to form immobilized cellulase enzyme and then the effect of the treatment on ramie fabric properties is studied. The ramie fabrics treated with immobilized cellulase enzyme show lower quantities of reducing sugar, weight loss, and higher tensile strength than native cellulase enzyme-treated fabrics. Scanning electron microscopic ana...
