International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2020 467 ISSN 2250-3153 Spider Silk: Structure and application Prof. Bashir Ahmad Karimi Department of Physics Samangan’s Institute for Higher Studies Samangan province-Afghanistan DOI: 10.29322/IJSRP.10.04.2020.p10055 http://dx.doi.org/10.29322/IJSRP.10.04.2020.p10055 Abstract- the nature is full of mysteries and thread is stored as a highly concentrated liquid. It engages the full minded persons and scholars to itself transforms to a solid thread when it leaves the body [2]. throughout the world, the nature presents these mysteries This silk is made of a fiber protein called fibroin, this on a wide variety of events and inside the complex world protein is full of Amino acids of alanine CH3CH (NH2) of different creatures. There are millions of creatures that COOH and glycine which is produced by a special gland have individually strange characteristics and life on its abdomen called spinneret. [5] condition. There are things that are in-depth scientific and Spiders use many form of silks from an array of debate-raising facts with these creatures which most of structures, which range from simple life lines to shelter them are hidden and need to be discovered. Spider silk for moulting, from egg sacs, webs and to ballooning. and webs are one of this mysteries. Due to low rate of Orb-web spinning spiders produce different types of degradability, toughness, elasticity and biosynthetic multifunctional and high performance fibers. This nature characteristics, the spider silk evaluated to have many production has mechanical, biomechanical and scientific uses and application. -

Chalmers Reproservice G¨oteborg, Sweden 2017 Simulation of a Badminton Racket A parametric study of racket design parameters using Finite Element Analysis. Master's thesis in Applied Mechanics ELIAS BLOMSTRAND MIKE DEMANT Department of Applied Mechanics Division of Solid Mechanics Chalmers University of Technology Abstract Badminton, said to be the worlds fastest ball sport, is a fairly unknown sport from a scientific point of view. There has been great progress made to get from the old wooden rackets of the 19th century to the light-weight high performance composite ones used today, but the development process is based on a trial and error method rather than on scientific knowledge. The limited amount of existing studies indicate that racket parameters like shaft stiffness, center of gravity and head geometry affect the performance of the racket greatly. -

Received 02 Jun 2020 Introducing copper sulfate nanoparticles to catgut was performed using a reverse Accepted 23 Jul 2020 micro-emulsion technique. It is an interesting method because of easy handling Published 01 Aug 2020 and relatively low costs. In the revers micro-emulsion medium, nano-spherical structures containing the salt solution are created. The nano-spheres penetrate Keywords: into catgut fibers and precipitate after drying to form the salt nanoparticles. The Catgut suture prepared CSNPs@Catgut was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, Copper sulfate X-ray diffraction (XDR) technique, tensile strength, antibacterial activity, and cytotoxicity tests. XRD and SEM confirmed the CuSO nanoparticles formation Micro-emulsion 4 and grafting on catgut surface. Antibacterial properties were illustrated by Nanoparticles E. coli inhibition zone and CSNPs@Catgut showed a significant antibacterial Wound healing activity compare with catgut.

Erythema, papules, and crusts in Features the ventral abdominal area. Folliculitis (hair follicle inflammation) and furunculosis (hair follicle rupture) are common and cosmopolitan. Cultural evaluations have not been reported, but anec- dotal literature suggests that Staphylococcus aureus and S. intermedius are causative. Predisposing factors include trauma (e.g., environmental, insect/arachnid) and moisture. There are no apparent breed, sex, or age predilections. Lesions can be seen anywhere, most commonly over the muzzle, back, ventrum, and distal hind legs (Figs. 5.1‐1 to 5.1‐5). Lesion location is often indicative of inciting cause(s). Lesions consist of erythematous papules, pustules, brown‐to‐yellow crusts, epidermal collarettes, and annular areas of alopecia and scaling. Pruritus is typically only seen when inciting causes include insects and arachnids. Furuncles are character- ized by nodules, draining tracts, ulcers, and variable pain. -

Comparison of Influence of Vicryl and Silk Suture Materials on Wound Healing After Third Molar Surgery- a Review
Harshinee Chandrasekhar et al /J. Pharm. Sci. & Res. Vol. 9(12), 2017, 2426-2428 Comparison of Influence of Vicryl and Silk Suture Materials on Wound Healing After Third Molar Surgery- A Review Harshinee Chandrasekhar Undergraduate student,Saveetha Dental College, Saveetha university Dr.Sivakumar M.D.S., Senior lecturer,Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Saveetha Dental College, Saveetha university DR.M.P.Santhosh Kumar M.D.S.,* Reader,Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Saveetha Dental College, Saveetha university Abstract Suture materials play an important role in healing, enabling reconstruction and reassembly of tissue separated by the surgical procedure or trauma. Suture materials are used daily in oral surgery, and are considered to be substances most commonly implanted in human body. Silk has been used as biomedical suture material for centuries and it provides important clinical repair options for many applications but the disadvantage is the biocompatibility problems reported for silk obtained from contamination of residual sericin (glue-like proteins). Now-a-days, Vicryl suturing material is the commonly used material in oral surgery, because it does not allow adherence of plaque and is well suited for handling. The characteristics of these two materials are discussed in this review and it also compares the influence of these materials on wound healing after third molar surgery. Keywords-Silk suture, vicryl suture, wound healing, third molar surgery, complications, Polyglactin INTRODUCTION The main classification is based on biological properties:- Suture materials play an important role in healing of Natural Absorbable Suture material: wounds, enabling reconstruction and reassembly of tissue Catgut separated by a surgical procedure or a trauma, and at the Collagen same time facilitating and promoting healing and Cargile membrane haemostasis [1]. -

It is a practical guide in an area of armed conflict based on the experience of four nurses who have managed independent hospitals set up by the International Committee of the Red Cross. It addresses specific problems associated with setting up a hospital in a difficult and potentially dangerous environment. It provides a framework for the administration of such a hospital. It also describes a system for managing the patients from admission to discharge and includes guidelines on how to manage an influx of wounded.

Initially Lister used have been used (sutures, stents, paste dressings, tissue tacks and accurate coaptation of the flaps. Various methods and materials silk as a suture material, on the assumption that it was absorbable and therefore could also be used for ligatures. Later he searched most popular method. The term “suture” describes any strand of adhesives) for precise flap placement. Suturing has remained the for a more rapidly absorbable material and consequently began to material utilized to ligate blood vessels or approximate tissues. use catgut. Catgut is produced from animal connective tissue, in The primary objective of dental suturing is to position and secure particular bovine sub serosa. Over the years it gradually emerged that animals born and bred in South America were most suitable intention) provides support for tissue margin until they heal, surgical flaps in order to promote optimal healing (first / primary because they had the lowest fat content thanks to their natural without dead space and reduce postoperative pain. -
