Icariin has been identified to promote osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). However, whether icariin could enhance angiogenic factor expression of BMSCs, which may be vital for bone repair need to be explored. Moreover, how to construct a delivery system of icariin and the repair capability in the bone defect is still unknown. In present study, the effects of icari...

Electromagnetic properties of cylindrical active coated nano-particles comprised of a silica nano-cylinder core layered with a plasmonic concentric nano-shell are investigated for potential nano-sensor applications. Particular attention is devoted to the near-field properties of these particles, as well as to their far-field radiation characteristics, in the presence of an electric or a magneti...

Background: Chitosan nanoparticles have become of great interest for nanomedicine, biomedical engineering and development of new therapeutic drug release systems with improved bioavailability, increased specificity and sensitivity, and reduced pharmacological toxicity. The aim of the present study is to synthesis and optimization of chitosan nanoparticles for industrial and biomedical applicati...

Synthesis of BaFe12O19 magnetic nano particles via precipitation in different pH conditions have been reported. The certain molar ratio of Fe/Ba = 12 selected and sodium hydroxide was used as a precipitant agent. X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were used to consider the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of bariu...

Nano-crystalline Si films with high conductivities are highly desired in order to develop the new generation of nano-devices. Here, we first demonstrate that the grain boundaries played an important role in the carrier transport process in un-doped nano-crystalline Si films as revealed by the temperature-dependent Hall measurements. The potential barrier height can be well estimated from the ex...

Nano-dispersions of perfluorocarbon (PFC) or PFC emulsions are substitutes of erythrocytes. They perform the function of the gas transport on condition when the particle structure will be preserved. The invariable values of the size and surface properties of the spherical PFC particles characterize the stability of their structure. The stable nano-dispersion on base PFC and phospholipids (PL) a...

In this study, lead sulfide (PbS) films were grown on Fluorine-doped TinOxide (FTO) glass substrate by thermal evaporation in a horizontal furnace toinvestigate carrier gas effect on structural, morphological, elemental, optical, electricaland photovoltaic properties of PbS. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns confirmed theformation of cubic polycrystalline PbS particles fo...

Due to the importance effect of magnetic field on the history of long-term radial and circumfer-ential creep strain and radial displacement for a three-phase nano-composite exposed to an internal pressure and placed uniform temperature, the present article subject has been pro-posed. Three-phase nano-composite made of single-walled carbon nano tubes (SWCNTs)/ glass fiber (GF)/vinylester used to...
