To combat the rise of antibiotic resistant bacteria, it is essential to look upon other therapeutic solutions that do not solely depend conventional antibiotics. Here, we have designed a combinational approach kills bacteria with conjunction photothermal (PT) and therapy. A near-infrared (NIR) laser activated targeted drug delivery nano-assembly delivers as well offer PT therapy (PTT). The syne...

omega-3 fatty acids (fas) have been shown to prevent cardiovascular disease. the most commonly used omega-3 fatty acids like eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) and docosahexaenoic acid (dha) are highly vulnerable to oxidation and therefore, have short shelf life. recent advances in nanoliposomes provided a biocompatible system for stabilizing omega-3 fas. several methods could be implemented to prepar...

BACKGROUND Liposome bupivacaine is a prolonged-release bupivacaine formulation indicated for single-dose administration into the surgical site to produce postsurgical analgesia. METHODS An overview of time to onset of analgesia observed with liposome bupivacaine in human studies is provided, as well as a summary of data from pharmacokinetic studies including those that assessed pharmacokineti...

Exhaustive exercise promotes muscle injury, including myofiber lesions; however, its exact mechanism has not yet been elucidated. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that macrophage depletion by pretreatment with clodronate liposomes alters muscle injury and inflammation following exhaustive exercise. Male C57BL/6J mice were divided into four groups: rest plus control liposome (n=8), rest p...

The aim of this study was to optimize the preparation conditions of salidroside liposome with high encapsulation efficiency (EE) and to study the immunological enhancement activity of salidroside liposome as porcine circovirus type 2 virus (PCV-2) vaccine adjuvant. Response surface methodology (RSM) was selected to optimize the conditions for the preparation of salidroside liposome using Design...

BACKGROUND It has been shown that topical nanoliposomal formulations improve burn healing process. On the other hand, it has been shown that liposomal formulations increase drug deposition in the normal skin while decrease their systemic absorption there is not such data available for burn eschar. Present investigation studies permeation of clindamycin phosphate (CP) through burn eschar from l...

Controlled release systems are nowadays successfully used for treating diseases. Nanoparticles and microparticles are used to improve the quality of life, to decrease drug dosages, to prolong dosage intervals and are used for protection from harmful side effects. Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common, disruptive and fast growing malign tumor in the central nervous system. Doxycycline is a ...

An oral infectious disease, dental caries, is caused by the cariogenic streptococci Streptococcus mutans. The expected preventive efficiency for prophylactics against dental caries is not yet completely observed. Nisin, a bacteriocin, has been demonstrated to be microbicidal against S. mutans, and liposome-encapsulated nisin improves preventive features that may be exploited for human oral heal...

Non-layer structured nanomaterials with single- or few-layer thickness have two-dimensional sheet-like structures and possess intriguing properties. Recent years have seen major advances in development of a host of non-layer structured ultrathin two-dimensional nanomaterials such as noble metals, metal oxides and metal chalcogenides. The wet-chemical synthesis has emerged as the most promising ...
