- Abstract
This study reports a novel impedimetric immunosensor for protein D detection in purified and bacterial (Haemophilus influenzae, Hi) samples. The detection was based on antigen recognition by anti-protein D antibodies (apD) immobilised at the maze-like boron-doped carbon nanowall electrodes (B:CNW). The B:CNW electrodes were synthesised, and their surface was characterised by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods. The sensor was prepared in a two-step procedure: apD were covalently linked on the previously modified B:CNW electrodes using diazonium salt. Modification steps were controlled by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) measurements. The immunosensor exhibited excellent electrochemical performance, stability, satisfactory sensitivities, and linear ranges for antigen detection. Protein D was detected down to 2.39 × 10
2 fg/mL with a linear range extending from 3.37 × 10-11 to 3.37 × 10-3 μg/mL (in purified sample). Next, Hi's LOD was 5.20 × 102 CFU/mL with a linear range of 8.39 × 101 -8.39 × 103 CFU/mL. Selectivity studies showed no reaction with negative samples as Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae or Bordetella parapertussis bacteria. Therefore, the new approach is suitable for rapid and quantitative detection of Hi, and is a good candidate for further tests on clinical samples., (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
The ternary HAp/curdlan/nanomagnetite hybrids with ceramic and polymer phase incorporation of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) were fabricated to study their heating ability under action of the alternating magnetic field (AMF), 808 nm near infrared laser radiation (NIR) and their synergic stimulation. The energy conversion was evaluated in terms of the specific absorption rate (SAR) as a function of the MNPs concentration in composites and to estimate their potential in temperature-controlled regenerative processes and hyperthermia. Measurements were carried out on dry and Ringer's solution soaked composite materials in order to mimic in situ conditions. It was found that the MNPs release during prolonged experiment is limited and has no significant effect on energy conversion emphasizing stability of the hybrids. Incorporation of the MNPs in polymer phase of the hybrid can additionally limit particle leaking as well as plays a role as insulating layer for the heat dissipation lowering the risk of sample overheating. In general, it was shown that maximum temperature of hybrid can be achieved in a relatively short time of exposure to stimulating factors whereas its control can be done through optimization of experiment conditions. MNPs incorporation into the curdlan (polymer phase) lead to strengthening of the mechanical properties of the whole network., (Copyright © 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)

- Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether dialysis method allows for efficient protein entrapment in curdlan-based hydrogel. Thus, bovine serum albumin, a model of bioactive protein, was incorporated into curdlan matrix using ion-exchanging dialysis method against two concentrations of CaCl
2 solution - 2% and 10%, respectively. Then, physicochemical, mechanical, and biological properties of the bovine serum albumin-loaded curdlan hydrogels were evaluated. Received results show that neither the polymer nor the entrapment procedure change the bovine serum albumin conformation (as proven by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy) and the process guarantees high protein entrapment efficiency (above 95%). The curdlan-based carrier obtained against 2% of CaCl2 solution was found to possess higher swelling ability, release greater amounts of bovine serum albumin (up to 4 weeks), and exhibit superior biocompatibility compared to curdlan-based carrier obtained against 10% of CaCl2 solution. Thus, dialysis method enables efficient protein entrapment in curdlan hydrogel and obtained protein carrier via dialysis method into 2% of CaCl2 solution may be considered as a promising protein delivery system especially for tissue engineering applications. It should be noted that we are the first who presented effective method for protein entrapment in curdlan hydrogel., (Copyright © 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)- Published

- Abstract
Bone implantable materials based on calcium sulfate dihydrate dissolve quickly in tissue liquids and release calcium ions at very high levels. This phenomenon induces temporary toxicity for osteoblasts, may cause local inflammation and delay the healing process. Reduction in the calcium ion release rate by gypsum could be therefore beneficial for the healing of gypsum-filled bone defects. The aim of this study concerned the potential use of calcium phosphate ceramics of various porosities for the reduction of high Ca(2+) ion release from gypsum-based materials. Highly porous ceramics failed to reduce the level of Ca(2+) ions released to the medium in a continuous flow system. However, it succeeded to shorten the period of high calcium level. It was not the phase composition but the high porosity of ceramics that was found crucial for both the shortening of the Ca(2+) release-related toxicity period and intensification of apatite deposition on the composite. Nonporous ceramics was completely ineffective for this purpose and did not show any ability to absorb calcium ions at a significant level. Moreover, according to our observations, complex studies imitating in vivo systems, rather than standard tests, are essential for the proper evaluation of implantable biomaterials., (Copyright © 2014 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
Cyclomaltohexaose (α-cyclodextrin) and cyclomaltoheptaose (β-cyclodextrin) as well as their four methyl ether derivatives, that is, hexakis(2,3-di-O-methyl)cyclomaltohexaose, hexakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)cyclomaltohexaose, heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl)cyclomaltoheptaose, and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)cyclomaltoheptaose were investigated as the additives in the course of enzymatic decomposition of l-phenylalanine catalyzed by phenylalanine ammonia-lyase. Only a few of those additives behaved like classical inhibitors of the enzymatic reaction under investigation because the values of the Michaelis constants that were obtained, as well as the maximum velocity values depended mostly atypically on the concentrations of those additives. In most cases cyclodextrins caused mixed inhibition, both competitive and noncompetitive, but they also acted as activators for selected concentrations. This atypical behaviour of cyclodextrins is caused by three different and independent effects. The inhibitory effect of cyclodextrins is connected with the decrease of substrate concentration and unfavourable influence on the flexibility of the enzyme molecules. On the other hand, the activating effect is connected with the decrease of product concentration (the product is an inhibitor of the enzymatic reaction under investigation). All these effects are caused by the ability of the cyclodextrins to form inclusion complexes., (Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.)
