Biological materials and tissues

The suitable materials for the above mentioned domains are polymers, metals and ceramics. Among these, polymers play an important role. Even the polymers have a lot of remarkable properties that could be used in biomaterials design, the interaction between these artificial materials and tissues and blood could create serious medical problems such as clot formation, activating of platelets, and occlusion of tubes for dialysis or vascular grafts. In the last few years, novel techniques of synthesis have been used to correlate desirable chemical, physical and biological properties of biomaterials. 

Materials in which these elements are determined by flame spectrometry include water, glasses, cement, soils, fertilizers, plant materials, biological fluids and tissues, petroleum products and metallurgical products. 

The wetting theory is applicable to liquid bioadhesive systems. According to this theory, the ability of a bioadhesive material to spread and determine an intimate contact with the biological substrate plays a major role in bond formation [44], This theory uses interfacial tensions to predict spreading and, in turn, bioadhesion. In the past, the surface energy of both bioadhesive materials and tissues or mucus have been extensively studied to predict the bioadhesive performance [47-49]. 

The microbiological assays recommended for moxalactam are performed with gram-negative organisms. Specifically, Escherichia coli is used for potency determinations with the bulk material and the final dosage forms, Providencia stuartii with biological fluids and tissues, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa for the assay of moxalactam in susceptibility discs. 

O Neill and Sakamoto reported an enzymatic fluorimetric method for the determination of acetylcholine in biological extracts [41]. Nanomolar amounts of acetylcholine were determined in perchloric acid extracts of biological materials (brain tissues) by use of a system containing acetylcholineesterase, acetyl CoA synthetase, maleate dehydrogenase, and citrate synthase. The production of NADH2 was stoichiometrically related to the amount of acetylcholine in the system, and was followed fluorimetrically. Interfering fluorescent substances in the brain extracts were removed with acid-washed Florisil. 

Transport properties of biological membranes and tissues are commonly determined through classical flux experiments. However, the experimental setup and analytical procedures involved in such studies are laborious and time-consuming. Furthermore, transient flux responses are difficult to measure accurately. Alternatively, impedance spectroscopy allows rapid experimental determination of the transient and steady-state conduction properties of materials. 

For extraction from solid samples, e.g., biological materials and homogenates (planf tissue, food), liquid extraction can be applied using for instance acetone, methanol, or acetonitrile. Often, extracts are filtered prior to injection to LC-MS. 

Hyaluronic acid is a linear polysaccharide formed from disaccharide units containing N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and glucuronic acid. Since it is present in almost all biological fluids and tissues, hyaluronic acid-based materials are very useful in biomedical applications. After cellulose, chitin is the second most abundant natural polysaccharide resource on earth. Chitin and its de-acetylated derivative chitosan are natural polymers composed of N-acetylglucosamine and glucosamine. Both chitin and chitosan have excellent properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, hemostatic activity and antimicrobial activity. Chitin and its derivatives are widely used in various fields of medicine.
