OBJECTIVES We studied the effect of preparing donor human milk (DHM) with commonly used nutritional additives on the dialyzability of calcium and phosphate. We hypothesized that the additives to DHM would decrease the dialyzability of calcium and phosphate when prepared according to hospital protocols. METHODS An in vitro system simulating premature infant digestion was developed to measure d...

objective: amorphous calcium phosphate (acp) is a reactive solution capable of releasing calcium and phosphate ions, conversion to apatite and remineralization of mineral tooth structure. this study reviews acp structure, its properties and its applications in dentistry.   methods: in this review study, keywords including “amorphous calcium phosphate”, “mineralization”, “hydroxyapatite”, “casei...

In this paper, we have further developed our simple (one-pot) and rapid (short irradiation time) laser fabrication process of submicrometer spheres composed of amorphous calcium iron phosphate. In our previous process, laser irradiation was applied to a calcium phosphate (CaP) reaction mixture supplemented with ferric ions (Fe(3+)) as a light-absorbing agent. Because the intention of the presen...

Bcl-2 gene is an important target to treat lung cancer. The small interference RNA (siRNA) of Bcl-2 gene (siBcl-2) can specifically silence Bcl-2 gene. However, naked siBcl-2 is difficult to accumulate in the tumor tissue to exert its activity. In this paper, a calcium phosphate lipid hybrid nanoparticle that possessed charge reversible property was prepared to enhance the activity of siBcl-2 i...

Zinc phosphate (Zn3(PO4)2) nanoparticles were successfully prepared by precipitation method using zinc acetate and Phosphoric acid as the zinc and phosphate sources. The synthesized Zn3(PO4)2 nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscope and Transmission electron microscope in order to confirm the phase purity and morphology of the sample. Zn3(PO4)2 nanopar...
