RESUMO

This work utilizes a Gabor Holographic Optical Scheme integrated with a microscope objective and a thin convex plane lens. This bi-telecentric lens system corrects spherical aberration from the objective, maintains consistent magnification across various reconstruction distances, and ensures a plane incidence on CMOS. Depending on the focal lengths of the objective and lens, the final image can be enlarged or reduced compared to the classic Gabor system, resulting in high-quality reconstructed phase images without spherical aberration. This setup was employed to capture phase distribution and intensity images of planktonic objects, such as copepods, achieving superior image quality.

RESUMO

As a part of the mission to create materials that are more environmentally friendly, we present the following proposal, in which a study of the mechanical properties of composite materials comprising a polyester resin with sisal fiber and bentonite particles was conducted. Sisal fiber was added to a matrix in percentages ranging from 5% to 45% in relation to the polyester resin weight, while bentonite remained fixed at 7% in relation to the polyester resin weight. The specimens were manufactured by compression molding. The mechanical properties were analyzed by tensile, bending, impact, stepped creep, and relaxation tests. In addition, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy analyses were carried out to analyze the composition and heterogeneity of the structure of the composite material. The results obtained showed that 7% of bentonite added to the matrix affects the tensile strength. Flexural strength increased by up to 21% in the specimens with a 20% addition of sisal fiber, while the elastic modulus increased by up to 43% in the case of a 20% addition of sisal fiber. The viscoelastic behavior was improved, while the relaxation stress was affected.

RESUMO

Objetivo: el propósito central de este trabajo es evaluar la bioactividad in vitro de capas de alginato de sodio en discos de hidroxiapatita. Métodos: los discos de hidroxiapatita fueron elaborados mediante procesos sucesivos de prensado y de sinterizado en un horno eléctrico. Las capas de alginato de sodio se obtuvieron empleando el método de sobrepresión y una disolución acuosa de alginato de sodio al 5 por ciento. En el ensayo de bioactividad las muestras a estudiar fueron sumergidas en fluido biológico simulado. La caracterización de las muestras se realizó empleando microscopia electrónica de barrido y energía dispersiva de rayos X. Resultados: en las muestras de hidroxiapatita sometidas al ensayo de bioactividad, con y sin capas de alginato de sodio, se observó la formación de precipitados ricos en calcio y fósforo. Además, se determinó que con el aumento del tiempo de inmersión en el fluido biológico simulado se incrementan las dimensiones de los aglomerados formados por partículas apatíticas. Conclusiones: los resultados experimentales corroboran que la hidroxiapatita es bioactiva y demuestran que las capas estudiadas de alginato de sodio en discos de hidroxiapatita poseen un comportamiento bioactivo(AU)


Objective: the main purpose of the study is to evaluate in vitro bioactivity in sodium alginate layers of hydroxyapatite disks. Methods: the hydroxyapatite disks were manufactured by successive pressing and sintering in an electric furnace. The sodium alginate layers were obtained by overpressure and a 5% sodium alginate aqueous solution. For the bioactivity assay, the study samples were soaked in simulated biological fluid. Characterization of the samples was conducted by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X rays. Results: the bioactivity assay of hydroxyapatite samples with and without sodium alginate layers revealed the formation of precipitates rich in calcium and phosphorus. It was also found that an increase in the time of immersion in the simulated biological fluid brought about an increase in the size of agglomerates of apatite particles. Conclusions: experimental results show that hydroxyapatite is indeed bioactive, and that the sodium alginate layers of hydroxyapatite disks which were studied behave bioactively(AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo: el objetivo principal de este trabajo es estudiar la posibilidad de que sean empleados como sistema de liberación controlada de fármacos, discos de Hidroxiapatita (HA) cubana, fabricados por prensado y sinterizado en hornos eléctrico, sin el empleo de agentes formadores de poros, con porosidades aparentes de 12, 20 y 40 por ciento que fueron dopados por sobre presión con una solución acuosa de alginato de sodio al 5 por ciento y 55 ppm de ceftazidima. Métodos: se estudió la relación entre la penetración del polímero y la porosidad aparente con la liberación del fármaco. Resultados: se demostró que estos discos infiltrados con el polímero que encapsula el fármaco pueden ser utilizados como sistema de liberación controlada. Se demuestra que la porosidad aparente y el tamaño de los poros son influyentes en la penetración del polímero y la masa de fármaco liberado. Conclusiones: En las curvas de liberación obtenidas se observa que los discos pueden ser un potencial material para soportar medicamentos porque se evidencia como el material es capaz de controlar la liberación del medicamento remanente ocluido por un método de dopaje a sobre presión.El perfil indica que en un periodo de siete días se libera controladamente el medicamento(AU)


Objective: the main purpose of this study is to examine the potential use of Cuban hydroxyapatite (HA) disks as a controlled drug release system. These disks are manufactured by pressing, and sintered in electric furnaces without using pore-forming agents, with apparent porosities of 12, 20 and 40 percent , and doped by overpressure with a 5 percent sodium alginate aqueous solution and 55 ppm ceftazidime. Methods: a study was conducted of the relationship between penetration of the polymer and apparent porosity with the release of the drug. Results: it was shown that when infiltrated with the polymer encapsulating the drug, these disks may be used as a controlled release system. It was also found that apparent porosity and pore size influence polymer penetration and the mass of drug released. Conclusions: the release curves obtained show that the disks may be a potential drug-supporting material, capable of controlling the release of the remnant drug occluded by an overpressure doping method. The profile reveals that controlled release of the drug is completed in seven days(AU)
