AB  - The development of protective products with natural origin as
   alternatives to synthetic fungicides is currently in the spotlight.
   Qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis of 16 selected essential
   oils was determined. Then, antifungal properties determined by in vitro
   microdilution method against 21 fungi isolated from herbal drugs were
   evaluated. All tested oils showed some antifungal activity against all
   fungi used. Savory, thyme and oregano oils, characterized by the
   presence of phenol such as carvacrol and thymol, and rose oil containing
   mainly monoterpene alcohols (citronellol and geraniol) proved to be the
   most effective inhibitor of all fungi tested. Also, combination of
   particular oils showed reduction of the MIC values when combined,
   commendatory mixtures for potential application in practice. Moreover,
   the reduction of the total number of fungi, in situ, using selected
   essential oils was determined. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights

AB  - Properties and biocompatibility of a series of thermoplastic
   poly(urethane-siloxane)s (TPUSs) based on alpha,omega-dihydroxy ethoxy
   propyl poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) for potential biomedical
   application were studied. Thin films of TPUSs with a different PDMS soft
   segment content were characterized by H-1 NMR, quantitative C-13 NMR,
   Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic force microscopy
   (AFM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical
   analysis (DMA), contact angle, and water absorption measurements.
   Different techniques (FTIR, AFM, and DMA) showed that decrease of PDMS
   content promotes microphase separation in TPUSs. Samples with a higher
   PDMS content have more hydrophobic surface and better waterproof
   performances, but lower degree of crystallinity. Biocompatibility of
   TPUSs was examined after attachment of endothelial cells to the
   untreated copolymer surface or surface pretreated with multicomponent
   protein mixture, and by using competitive protein adsorption assay.
   TPUSs did not exhibit any cytotoxicity toward endothelial cells, as
   measured by lactate dehydrogenase and
   3-{[}4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assays.
   The untreated and proteins preadsorbed TPUS samples favored endothelial
   cells adhesion and growth, indicating good biocompatibility. All TPUSs
   adsorbed more albumin than fibrinogen in competitive protein adsorption
   experiment, which is feature regarded as beneficial for
   biocompatibility. The results indicate that TPUSs have good surface,
   thermo-mechanical, and biocompatible properties, which can be tailored
   for biomedical application requirements by adequate selection of the
   soft/hard segments ratio of the copolymers. (C) 2013 Wiley Periodicals,
