چکیده
The systemic pharmacological treatment of disease is limited by severe toxicity to normal organs/tissue. Therefore, various delivery vehicles have been designed to carry therapeutic drugs to their target tissues. We designed a novel vehicle formed by the interaction of biotins in a DNA (polymer) with avidins (crosslink), resulting in a porous particle. This self-assembled (HSAM) nanoparticle vehicle has been tested in our laboratory both in vitro and in vivo for its ability to carry doxorubicin, a widely used anticancer drug with a high toxicity to normal organs. Doxorubicin binds to the nanoparticle by intercalating into the DNA strands that are later degraded by nucleases released from cancer cells. Our results showed that 1.1 μg of HSAM DNA can carry 1 μg of doxorubicin, and the doxorubicin-bound HSAM nanoparticle can still be degraded by nucleases (BAL-31 and DNase I). The HSAM nanoparticle carrying doxorubicin can efficiently inhibit cancer cell growth in vitro and in a murine model. Furthermore, this nanoparticle is able to deliver up to 180 ng/mg of doxorubicin to the target tumor tissue, which is 15-fold above the systemic toxicity dose (12 mg/kg). These results suggest that the HSAM nanoparticle is both biocompatible and biodegradable, making it a valuable vehicle for drug delivery in cancer treatment.

Jackknifed Liu-type Estimator in Poisson Regression Model
The Liu estimator has consistently been demonstrated to be an attractive shrinkage method for reducing the effects of multicollinearity. The Poisson regression model is a well-known model in applications when the response variable consists of count data. However, it is known that multicollinearity negatively affects the variance of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the Poisson regressio...

متن کاملLiu Estimates and Influence Analysis in Regression Models with Stochastic Linear Restrictions and AR (1) Errors
In the linear regression models with AR (1) error structure when collinearity exists, stochastic linear restrictions or modifications of biased estimators (including Liu estimators) can be used to reduce the estimated variance of the regression coefficients estimates. In this paper, the combination of the biased Liu estimator and stochastic linear restrictions estimator is considered to overcom...

The current paper primarily aims to suggest a mathematical model for the shape-dependent term of Khan- Liu (KL) Yield/ fracture criterion as a function of Plastic Strain for DP590 steel alloy. The shape-dependent term in the mention criterion can generalize the application of this criterion in order to predict the behavior of other materials. Plane stress case and the first quarter of the stres...
