Removal of copper-bearing IUDs in asymptomatic patients. Reply.
I read with interest Dr Isabel Draper’s letter1 regarding difficult intrauterine device (IUD) insertions published in the January 2008 issue of this Journal. I agree with Dr Draper’s views and would like to share my experience on this subject. I am an instructing doctor and do two IUD/intrauterine system (IUS) training clinics every week. One training clinic is at The Palatine Centre in Manches...
متن کاملToxicity of manufactured copper nanoparticles - A review
The health effects of nanoparticles (NPs) are raising considerable and growing concerns from the public and government around the world. Nano-metals are new forms of metal with special properties, but are characterized by having a particle size of less than 100 nm. Copper is an essential trace element and its deficiency leads to different diseases in humans. In gen...
متن کاملBiological Synthesis of Copper/copper Oxide Nanoparticles
Metal nanoparticles have gained significant interest in the past decade because of their unique physio-chemical properties which has a potential to be used in a wide range of applications. Recent efforts have gained success in synthesising nanoparticles with excellent shape and size control; however they are largely restricted to chemical methods. There is an increasing focus on eco-friendly ‘g...
متن کاملRole of copper transporters in copper homeostasis.
Copper is a redox active metal that is essential for biological function. Copper is potentially toxic; thus, its homeostasis is carefully regulated through a system of protein transporters. Copper is taken up across the lumen surface of the small intestinal microvilli as cuprous ion by Ctr1. Cupric ion may also be taken up, but those processes are less well understood. Within the cell, intestin...
متن کاملCopper metabolism in the kidney of rats administered copper and copper-metallothionein.
To gain a greater understanding of the mechanism of Cu metabolism in kidneys of rats, using autofluorescence of Cu-metallothioneins (Cu-MTs) we revealed the behavior of Cu-MT in the kidneys of rats administered Cu-MT. Yellow and orange fluorescent signals of Cu-MT were observed in the cortex. By microscopic studies, Cu-MT was dominant in the proximal convolute tubular cells of the cortex. A hig...
