Nanopathology : a new vision of the interaction environment-human life

چکیده

This article takes into consideration a new field of research called Nanopathology and describes the fundamentals of this new discipline. The paper is divided into three main sections: the in-vitro and in-vivo experiments with 5 types of nanoparticles, and the clinical pieces of evidence of the presence of particulate matter in human pathological tissues affected by diseases of unknown origin. The in-vitro experiments verified the interaction of 5 different types of nanoparticles with endothelial, gut and liver epithelial cells and macrophages from a toxicological and immunological point of view. The in-vivo experiments carried out on rats investigated the response to the implantation of 5 materials as nanoscaled particles and bulk disks in rats’ dorsal muscles. The clinical investigations verified the presence of inorganic micro and nano-particles in pathological tissues affected by cancer in different organs, leukaemia and lymphoma. The main in-vitro results indicated that: ain the presence of metallic nanoparticles (Cobalt), macrophages become unable to mount appropriate defence to bacterial challenge and danger exists of increased susceptibility to infections; bthe in-vivo tests indicated that metallic nanoparticles (and not the bulk samples) induced rhabdomyosarcoma in rats in 6 months; cthe clinical samples showed the constant presence of micro and nanoparticles in the tissues with variable chemistry, sometimes directly related to the working place exposure. Indications of new directions of the research are discussed.

Reviewing the role of urban landscape and vision on improving environmental quality (Case Study: Sa’di Street – Semnan)

Quality of urban areas and improvement of it have always been considered as one of the main issues in the process of urbanization. It might be possible to consider this importance as the result of fundamental changes in intellectual patterns during the past two decades in one side and its proposal in all aspects of human life on the other side though this is one of the main influential concepts...

Evaluation of the Humanity Research Paradigms based on Analysis of Human – Environment Interaction

As claimed by many behavioral scientists, designing should be based on the knowledge of interaction between human and environment. Environmental quality is also created in the context in which humans interact with their environment. To achieve such quality, designers should develop appropriate models for explaining this relationship, and this requires an understanding of human nature and the en...

3D Hand Motion Evaluation Using HMM

Gesture and motion recognition are needed for a variety of applications. The use of human hand motions as a natural interface tool has motivated researchers to conduct research in the modeling, analysis and recognition of various hand movements. In particular, human-computer intelligent interaction has been a focus of research in vision-based gesture recognition. In this work, we introduce a 3-...
