For the healing process, in this study, an innovative polymeric hydrogel network including polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/chitosan (CS)/gum tragacanth (GT) loaded with vitamin E (VE) was produced by the freeze–thaw approach. In order to investigate the characteristics of the prepared samples, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyzes were performed. Also, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), swelling ratio, gel fraction and mechanical properties were measured. Then, to observe their cytocompatibility, MTT assay and cell adhesion studies were assessed. The results of FTIR confirmed the presence of PVA, CS, GT, and VE in hydrogel films. As well as, the SEM images showed the effect of the freezing and thawing method in creating a smooth surface with small and regular pores. It was found with adding the CS and GT to PVA improves swelling ratio, gel fraction, WVTR and elongation of hydrogel films. Further, in examining the adhesion and cytotoxicity of the samples, the non-toxic quiddity of the PVA/CS/GT hydrogel films was corroborated. In the end, the antibacterial properties revealed that the film containing GT and CS had the greatest antibacterial activity. According to the observed results, PVA/CS/GT hydrogel films loaded with VE can be good for wound healing applications. 相似文献
Air overpressure (AOp) is a hazardous effect induced by the blasting method in surface mines. Therefore, it needs to be predicted to reduce the potential risk of damage. The aim of this study is to offer an efficient method to predict AOp using a cascaded forward neural network (CFNN) trained by Levenberg–Marquardt (LM) algorithm, called the CFNN-LM model. Additionally, a generalized regression neural network (GRNN) and extreme learning machine (ELM) were employed to demonstrate the accuracy level of the proposed CFNN-LM model. To conduct the CFNN-LM, GRNN, and ELM models, an extensive database, related to four quarry sites in Malaysia, was used including 62 sets of dependent and independent parameters. Next, the performances of the aforementioned models were checked and discussed through statistical criteria and efficient graphical tools. Finally, the results showed the superiority of CFNN-LM (R2 = 0.9263 and RMSE = 3.0444) over GRNN (R2 = 0.7787 and RMSE = 5.1211) and ELM (R2 = 0.6984 and RMSE = 6.2537) models in terms of prediction accuracy. Furthermore, three different regression analysis metrics were used to perform the sensitivity analysis, and according to the obtained results, the maximum charge per delay (\(\beta\) = 0.475, SE = 0.115, t-test = 4.125) was considered as the most influential feature in modeling the AOp.
