Polymer-Magnetite Complex for Local Hyperthermia

Carboxymethyldextran/magnetite hybrid microspheres designed for hyperthermia.

Recently, organic-inorganic hybrids composed of derivatives of dextran, a polysaccharide, and magnetite nanoparticles have attracted much attention as novel thermoseeds. If they can be fabricated into microspheres of size 20-30 μm, they are expected to show not only hyperthermia effects but also embolization effects in human liver and kidney cancers. In this study, we examined the fabrication o...

Investigation of magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles for magnetic hyperthermia

The paper presents the investigation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) dedicated to hyperthermia application. The crystal structure and size distributions have been determined by means of transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Magnetic properties of the nanoparticles were tested by Mössbauer spectroscopy together with calorimetric experiments. The Mössbauer spectrosc...

Mechanochemical Synthesis of Magnetite/Hydroxyapatite Nanocomposites for Hyperthermia

Hyperthermia using magnetite cationic liposomes for hamster osteosarcoma

BACKGROUND: We have developed magnetite cationic liposomes (MCLs) and applied them to local hyperthermia as a mediator. MCLs have a positive charge and generate heat under an alternating magnetic field (AMF) by hysteresis loss. In this study, the effect of hyperthermia using MCLs was examined in an in vivo study of hamster osteosarcoma. METHOD: MCLs were injected into the osteosarcoma and then ...
