Abstract:
Zeolite is a multifunctional material, which recently exhibited promising prospects in emerging biological and medical applications. This study reported a new bio-inorganic hybrid of zeolite-fibrin clot composite serving as haemostatic agent in haemophilia A. The zeolite-fibrin clot composite promoted haemocompatibility and helped to achieve short clotting time both in vitro (22 ± 3 s vs. >600 s) and in vivo (4.5 min vs. >60 min) compared to control in coagulation factor VIII deficiency bleeding model. Therefore, in situations of surgical operation or accidental injury, this effective and ready-to-use haemostatic agent may provide rapid haemostasis for haemophilia A patients.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
