Bactericidal Biodegradable Films with Silver Nanoparticles for the Treatment of Burns

The Application of Bactericidal Silver Nanoparticles in Wound Treatment

Even with the prevalence of wounds, the medical technol‐ ogy for efficiently managing skin damage is still primitive. The disruption of any of the numerous healing processes can lead to problems in the time-sensitive healing actions of the dermal and epidermal layers. Bacterial infection is one of the major obstacles to proper wound healing as it poses a danger of causing long-term negative eff...

The bactericidal effect of silver nanoparticles.

Nanotechnology is expected to open new avenues to fight and prevent disease using atomic scale tailoring of materials. Among the most promising nanomaterials with antibacterial properties are metallic nanoparticles, which exhibit increased chemical activity due to their large surface to volume ratios and crystallographic surface structure. The study of bactericidal nanomaterials is particularly...

development of different optical methods for determination of glucose using cadmium telluride quantum dots and silver nanoparticles

a simple, rapid and low-cost scanner spectroscopy method for the glucose determination by utilizing glucose oxidase and cdte/tga quantum dots as chromoionophore has been described. the detection was based on the combination of the glucose enzymatic reaction and the quenching effect of h2o2 on the cdte quantum dots (qds) photoluminescence.in this study glucose was determined by utilizing glucose...

Treatment of Breast Cancer with Silver Antitumor Drugs Encapsulated In Biodegradable Polymeric Nanoparticles

Several silver N-heterocyclic carbene complexes have been synthesized and tested for their anticancer activity. In vitro studies have shown these complexes to be active against ovarian, breast, melanoma, colon, renal, bladder, and prostate human cancer cell lines. An in vivo study on a silver carbene complex using an ovarian cancer (OVCAR-3) xenograft model in athymic nude mice has produced enc...
