On Iron Oxide for Ferrites Use

Development and use of iron oxide nanoparticles (Part 1): Synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles for MRI

Contrast agents, such as iron oxide, enhance MR images by altering the relaxation times of tissues in which the agent is present. They can also be used to label targeted molecular imaging probes. Unfortunately, no molecular imaging probe is currently available on the clinical MRI market. A promising platform for MRI contrast agent development is nanotechnology, where superparamagnetic iron oxid...

The Use of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Pancreatic Cancer Therapy

malignant stages, making curative therapy impossible and leading to poor prognosis and incidence equalling mortality [8]. In the year 2000, there were 217,000 new cases of pancreatic cancer with 213,000 deaths worldwide, while in Europe there were 60,139 new patients with 64,801 deaths [9]. In the UK, 7,152 new cases were seen with 7,250 deaths as a result of PDAC [10]. PDAC affects more wester...

Synthesis of Starch-Iron Oxide Nanocomposite by Coprecipitation Method and Its Use for Adsorption of Nickel and Cadmium from Wastewater

Backgrounds & objectives: Contamination of the environment by heavy metals, pollute water and agricultural products. The aggregation of these metals will cause various diseases for human. Therefore, it is important to study how to make them safe. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of starch-iron oxide nanocomposite in removing two heavy metals, nickel and cadmium, from wast...

Histopathological effects of quercetin on liver tissue damage induced by iron oxide and iron oxide nanoparticles in Wistar rats

Introduction: Industrial and environmental pollution, excessive iron supplementation and blood transfusion are among the factors that may cause iron toxicity. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the mechanisms influencing or protecting against iron toxicity. The present study aimed to investigate the protective effects of quercetin as an antioxidant on hepatotoxicity induced by iron oxide an...
