Publication Metadata only Development of Satureja cuneifolia-loaded sodium alginate/polyethylene glycol scaffolds produced by 3D-printing technology as a diabetic wound dressing material(ELSEVIER, 2020) OKTAR, FAİK NÜZHET; Ilhan, Elif; Cesur, Sumeyye; Guler, Ece; Topal, Fadime; Albayrak, Deniz; Guncu, Mehmet Mucahit; Cam, Muhammet Emin; Taskin, Turgut; Sasmazel, Hilal Turkoglu; Aksu, Burak; Oktar, Faik Nuzhet; Gunduz, OguzhanAcute wounds are a common health problem, with millions of people affected and decreased granulation tissue formation and vascularization, it is also a big challenge for wound care researchers to promote acute wound healing around the globe. This study aims to produce and characterize Satureja cuneifolia plant extract (SC) blended with sodium alginate (SA) /polyethylene glycol (PEG) scaffolds for the potential treatment of diabetic ulcer. SA/PEG scaffolds were prepared by adding different concentrations (1, 3, and 5 wt%) of PEG to 9 wt% SA. The morphological and chemical composition of the resulting 3D printed composite scaffolds was determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), respectively. Mechanical and thermal properties, swelling, and degradation behaviours were also investigated. The release kinetics of SC were performed. The antimicrobial analysis was evaluated against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains. 3D printed scaffolds have shown an excellent antibacterial effect, especially against gram-positive bacteria due to the antibacterial SC extract they contain. Furthermore, the cell viability of fibroblast (L929) cells on/within scaffolds were determined by the colourimetric MTT assay. The SA/PEG/SC scaffolds show a great promising potential candidate for diabetic wound healing and against bacterial infections. (c) 2020 Elsevier B.V.

N.; Yildiz, S.; Keles, R.; Ertas, B.; Kabasakal, L.Publication Metadata only Vitamin D-3/vitamin K-2/magnesium-loaded polylactic acid/tricalcium phosphate/polycaprolactone composite nanofibers demonstrated osteoinductive effect by increasing Runx2 via Wnt/beta-catenin pathway(ELSEVIER, 2021) ÇAM, MUHAMMET EMİN; Guler, Ece; Baripoglu, Yaren Ezgi; Alenezi, Hussain; Arikan, Ayca; Babazade, Ravana; Unal, Semra; Duruksu, Gokhan; Alfares, Fawzan S.; Yazir, Yusufhan; Oktar, Faik Nuzhet; Gunduz, Oguzhan; Edirisinghe, Mohan; Cam, Muhammet EminVitamin D3, vitamin K2, and Mg (10%, 1.25%, and 5%, w/w, respectively)-loaded PLA (12%, w/v) (TCP (5%, w/ v))/PCL (12%, w/v) 1:1 (v/v) composite nanofibers (DKMF) were produced by electrospinning method (ES) and their osteoinductive effects were investigated in cell culture test. Neither pure nanofibers nor DKMF caused a significant cytotoxic effect in fibroblasts. The induction of the stem cell differentiation into osteogenic cells was observed in the cell culture with both DKMF and pure nanofibers, separately. Vitamin D3, vitamin K2, and magnesium demonstrated to support the osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by expressing Runx2, BMP2, and osteopontin and suppressing PPAR-gamma and Sox9. Therefore, the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway was activated by DKMF. DKMF promoted large axonal sprouting and needle-like elongation of osteoblast cells and enhanced cellular functions such as migration, infiltration, proliferation, and differentiation after seven days of incubation using confocal laser scanning microscopy. The results showed that DKMF demonstrated sustained drug release for 144 h, tougher and stronger structure, higher tensile strength, increased water up-take capacity, decreased degradation ratio, and slightly lower Tm and Tg values compared to pure nanofibers. Consequently, DKMF is a promising treatment approach in bone tissue engineering due to its osteoinductive effects.Publication Metadata only Investigation of antioxidant and anticonvulsant activity of Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra(2022-01-01) ÇAM, MUHAMMET EMİN; TAŞKIN, TURGUT; Kirmizi Sonmez N. I. , Guler E., ÇAM M. E. , Ermanoglu M., Gurdal B., TAŞKIN T., Omurtag G. Z.© 2022 Marmara University Press.Epilepsy is a state characterized by sudden, recurrent epileptic seizures that are not initiated by an identifiable event. There are various studies has been shown that Hypericum species may be used for their anticonvulsant potentials. Besides, the relationship between anticonvulsant activity and antioxidant effect has already been shown in the literature. In the current study, H. triquetrifolium was investigated for the first time for its potential antioxidant and anticonvulsant potential using in vitro and in vivo test models. H. triquetrifolium extracts were tested with DPPH assay, FRAP assay, copper (II) ion reducing antioxidant capacity assay, and acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity assay to understand their antioxidant potential. Especially, methanolic extract of H. triquetrifolium was shown the highest antioxidant activity. Moreover, a pentylenetetrazole (PTZ, 80 mg/kg, i.p.)-induced seizure model was conducted to analyze the anticonvulsant activities of H. triquetrifolium extracts in mice. In addition, this study revealed that H. triquetrifolium decreased the ratio of severe seizures and increased the mean onsite of mortality and survival rate in a dose-dependent manner. It is thought that the anticonvulsant effect may be either related to the antioxidant potential of H. triquetrifolium or its interference in the GABAergic system.Publication Metadata only Controlled release of donopezil-loaded polyvinyl alcohol (pva) microbubbles/nanoparticles using microfluidic t-junction device(2020-09-18) CESUR, SÜMEYYE; ÇAM, MUHAMMET EMİN; GÜNDÜZ, OĞUZHAN; Cesur S., Çam M. E., Gündüz O.Production of donepezil- loaded microbubble/nanoparticles for treatment of Alzheimer diseasePublication Metadata only Fabrication, characterization and fibroblast proliferative activity of electrospun Achillea lycaonica-loaded nanofibrous mats(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2019) KABASAKAL, LEVENT; Cam, Muhammet Emin; Cesur, Sumeyye; Taskin, Turgut; Erdemir, Gokce; Kuruca, Durdane Serap; Sahin, Yesim Muge; Kabasakal, Levent; Gunduz, OguzhanThe use of natural compounds such as biocompatible and non-toxic plant extracts, without undesired side effects, in tissue engineering applications, is highly preferred compared to chemical drugs. In this study, the characterization and performance of electrospun Achillea lycaonica-loaded (0.125, 0.250 and 0.500, wt%) poly (lactic acid) (PLA) (8%, w/v) nanofibrous mats for skin tissue engineering were investigated. SEM, FTIR, DSC, and tensile strength test of the electrospun nanofibers have been investigated. Drug releasing test and cell culture study were also carried out. Achillea lycaonica-loaded nanofibrous mats in 0.250 (wt%) and 0.500 (wt%) demonstrated excellent cell compatibility and increased the viability of NIH/3T3 (mouse embryo fibroblast) cells within 72 h. According to the results, Achillea lycaonica-loaded PLA nanofibers have proper tensile strength and controlled release. The working temperature range enlarged for the composites having higher plant extract content. Consequently, Achillea lycaonica-loaded nanofibrous mats have a great potential in skin tissue engineering applications.Publication Metadata only Controlled Release of Metformin Loaded Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) Microbubble/Nanoparticles Using Microfluidic Device for the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus(Springer, 2020) SAYIN, FATİH SERDAR; Cesur S., Cam M.E., Sayın F.S., Su S., Gunduz O.Nowadays it became obvious that a relentless increase in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), affecting the economically affluent countries, is gradually afflicting also the developing world. The currently used drugs in the treatment of T2DM have inefficient glucose control and carry serious side effects. In this study, nano-sized uniform particles were produced by microfluidic method by the explosion of microbubbles. Morphological (SEM), molecular interactions between the components (FT-IR), drug release test by UV spectroscopy measurement were carried out after production process. When microbubbles and nanoparticles, optical microscope and SEM images obtained were examined, it was observed that metformin was successfully loaded into nanoparticles. The diameter of the microbubbles and nanoparticles was 104 ± 91 µm and 116 ± 13 nm, respectively. Metformin was released in a controlled manner at pH 1.2 for 390 min. It is promising in the treatment of T2DM with the controlled release ability of metformin loaded nonoparticles. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.Publication Metadata only In vitro and In vivo biological activities and phenolic characterization of Thymus praecox subsp. skorpilii var. skorpilii(SPRINGER, 2019) RAYAMAN, ERKAN; Taskin, Turgut; Cam, Muhammet Emin; Taskin, Duygu; Rayaman, ErkanThymus species are used as food and spices in several Mediterranean and other countries as well as for medical purposes on account of their biological properties. The extraction procedures and solvents are an important step in processing bioactive constituents from the plant materials. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro antioxidant, anticholinesterase, antimicrobial, anti-urease and in vivo anti-inflammatory activities of Thymus praecox subsp. skorpilii var. skorpilii using a variety of extracts. In addition, the phenolic characterization of the fraction methanol extract, which showed the highest phenolic contents and the strongest antioxidant and anticholinesterase activity were performed by HPLC-DAD and LC-MS/MS techniques. In the present study, the fraction methanol and direct methanol extracts exhibited strong DPPH, ABTS, and ferric reducing activity and strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis strains. The fraction chloroform and fraction petroleum ether extracts showed the strongest anti-urease activity and also, the petroleum ether extract exhibited strong antibacterial activity against the Staphylococcus aureus strain. The fraction methanol and direct methanol extracts showed in vivo anti-inflammatory activity very similar to each other. As a result of this study, chlorogenic acid, luteolin-7-O-glucoside, 3-O-feruloylquinic acid, quercetin-3-O-hexoside, and apigenin-7-O-glucuronide compounds were analyzed for the first time in the methanol extract of the plant. This latter study revealed the effects of the extraction methods and phenolic compounds on its biological properties.Publication Metadata only Core-sheath polymer nanofiber formation by the simultaneous application of rotation and pressure in a novel purpose-designed vessel(AIP Publishing, 2021-12) ÇAM, MUHAMMET EMİN; Alenezi, Hussain; Cam, Muhammet Emin; Edirisinghe, MohanForming polymeric core-sheath nanofibers is gaining prominence owing to their numerous potential applications, most notably in functional scenarios such as antiviral filtration, which is attracting significant attention due to the current COVID pandemic. This study has successfully designed and constructed a novel pressurized gyration vessel to fabricate core-sheath polymer nanofibers. Several water-soluble and water-insoluble polymer combinations are investigated. Both polyethylene oxide and polyvinyl alcohol were used as the core while both poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(caprolactone) (PCL) were used as the sheath; PLA and PCL were used as core and sheath, in different instances; respectively. The fluid behavior of the core-sheath within the vessel was studied with and without applied pressure using computational fluid dynamics to simulate the core-sheath flow within the chamber. A high-speed camera was used to observe the behavior of jetted solutions at core-sheath openings, and the best scenario was achieved using 6000 rpm spinning speed with 0.2 MPa (twice atmospheric) applied pressure. The surface morphology of core-sheath fibers was studied using a scanning electron microscope, and focused ion beam milling assisted scanning electron microscopy was used to investigate the cross-sectional features of the produced fibers. Laser confocal scanning microscopy was also used to verify the core-sheath structure of the fibers, which were further characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. Thus, using a variety of polymer combinations, we show, both theoretically and experimentally, how core-sheath fibers evolve in a vessel that can serve as a scalable manufacturing pressurized gyration production process.Publication Metadata only Electrically controlled drug release of donepezil and BiFeO3 magnetic nanoparticle-loaded PVA microbubbles/nanoparticles for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease(Editions de Sante, 2021) SAYIN, FATİH SERDAR; Cesur S., Cam M.E., Sayin F.S., Gunduz O.Nanocarriers are used to deliver bioactive substances in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). These nanocarriers have shown many benefits over traditional treatments due to their properties such as efficient distribution and controlled release of bioactive material to the brain and loading of various drugs simultaneously. In this study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), PVA/bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3), and PVA/BiFeO3/donepezil hydrochloride (DO) monodisperse polymeric nanoparticles were manufactured with bursting microbubbles by a T-junction device. Here, BiFeO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by the co-precipitation method, and these magnetic nanoparticles and DO were loaded in PVA nanoparticles. Nanoparticles had a smooth and monodisperse structure according to SEM images. Also, the diameters of PVA, PVA/BiFeO3, and PVA/BiFeO3/DO nanoparticles were 148 ± 15 nm, 159 ± 21 nm, and 164 ± 12 nm, respectively. It was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy that BiFeO3 magnetic nanoparticles and DO were successfully loaded into nanoparticles produced with PVA. There was no cytotoxic effect on healthy L929 cells for all nanoparticle samples. A systematic electrical circuit has been established to investigate the electrically controlled release behaviour of PVA/BiFeO3/DO nanoparticles at different voltages (0 V, −1.0 V, −0.5 V, +0.5 V, +1.0 V), different currents (−50 μA, −100 μA, −200 μA, and −300 μA), and 200 rpm. To apply electric stimulus increased the release except for +1.0 V and the release of DO increased at more negative voltages with a total release of 68.9% of DO after 15 stimulus with −1.0 V. Higher R2 values were obtained with the Higuchi model for almost all conditions and DO was released from nanoparticles through the non-Fickian diffusion mechanism (0.45 < n < 1). The possibility of affecting the release of DO by modifying the current and voltage in the presence of BiFeO3 leads to an immensely controllable and delicately tunable drug release for AD treatment. © 2021
