Abstract
Although chitin is of the most available biopolymers on Earth its uses and applications are limited due to its low solubility. The deacetylation of chitin leads to chitosan. This biopolymer, composed of randomly distributed β-(1-4)-linked D-units, has better physicochemical properties due to the facts that it is possible to dissolve this biopolymer under acidic conditions, it can adopt several conformations or structures and it can be functionalized with a wide range of functional groups to modulate its superficial composition to a specific application. Chitosan is considered a highly biocompatible biopolymer due to its biodegradability, bioadhesivity and bioactivity in such a way this biopolymer displays a wide range of applications. Thus, chitosan is a promising biopolymer for numerous applications in the biomedical field (skin, bone, tissue engineering, artificial kidneys, nerves, livers, wound healing). This biopolymer is also employed to trap both organic compounds and dyes or for the selective separation of binary mixtures. In addition, chitosan can also be used as catalyst or can be used as starting molecule to obtain high added value products. Considering these premises, this review is focused on the structure and modification of chitosan as well as its uses and applications.

Int J Biol Macromol 2019; 136:570-578.

Abstract
The considerable role of pristine bacterial cellulose membranes (BC) as ideal dressings have been widely demonstrated to treat wounds and burns. Nevertheless, drawbacks regarding antimicrobial spectrum and frequent dressing replacement are still present. Based on this, the present work proposes an innovative dressing by incorporating a technological self-microemulsifying formulation (SMEF) encapsulating propolis (BC/PP). BC/PP was fully chemically and biologically characterized employing in vitro and in vivo models. Antimicrobial studies demonstrated BC/PP high efficiency against both gran-negative and gran-positive bacteria. Release studies evidenced propolis markers sustained release for up to 7 days. In vivo wound healing activity was assessed by wound healing rate, anti-inflammatory and tissue formation events and the results evidenced the pro-inflammatory activity of BC/PP, which could promote improved healing results. To conclude, BC/PP presented an outstanding antibacterial activity in vitro with weekly replacement and promotion of healing, offering, for the first time, a broad-spectrum biomembrane potential to treat infected wounds.

Abstract
CONTEXT The quantification of total collagen is of major importance in a wide range of research areas, including the study of cutaneous wound healing and new drugs trials. OBJECTIVE The total collagen content in skin biopsies was compared by biochemical hydroxyproline assay and by two computer-aided histomorphometric analyses of histological sections. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two methods were used to evaluate collagen formation: the hydroxyproline assay, as the gold standard and histomorphometric image analysis of the filled areas by corresponding stained collagen fibres, using picrosirius and Gomori's trichrome staining. The image analyses were determined by digital densitometry recognition using computer-aided ImageJ software. One-way ANOVA, simple linear regression and ANCOVA were applied for the statistical analysis and correlation. RESULTS In a simple linear regression analysis carried out on the 14th day period after the induction of skin injury, three techniques, picrosirius red (F = 33.57, p = 0.00), Gomori's trichrome (F = 81.61, p = 0.00) and hydroxyproline content (F = 16.85, p = 0.00) were able to detect collagen production. After scale adjustment, there were no significant differences among either the slopes (F = 1.17, p = 0.32) or the intercepts (F = 0.69, p = 0.51) of the estimated regression lines. It seems that a highly significant correlation exists between the histomorphometrical analysis and hydroxyproline assay. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION The morphometric analysis proved to be adequate and can be used as a simple, rapid, low-cost technology for evaluating total collagen in cutaneous wound specimens, compared with the gold standard hydroxyproline assay.

Abstract
Pervaporation membranes were made by solution blending of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA). Accordingly, five different blends with PVA:SA weight ratio of 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, 20:80 and 10:90 designated as PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 and PS5, respectively, were prepared. Each of these blends was crosslinked with 2, 4 and 6 wt% glutaraldehyde and the resulting fifteen (5 × 3) membranes were used for pervaporative separation of 90 wt% dioxane in water. The membranes made from PS4 and PS5 were not stable during pervaporation experiments. Among the stable membranes PS3 membrane crosslinked with 2 wt% glutaraldehyde showed the best results for flux and selectivity. Thus, it was filled with nano size sodium montmorillonite filler and used for separation of dioxane-water mixtures over the entire concentration range of 80-99.5 wt% dioxane in water. The membranes were also characterized by mechanical properties, FTIR, SEM, DTA-TGA and XRD.
