nano zno/ montmorillonite composite were prepared by sol gel method under ultrasonic irradiation from directly mixing montmorillonite nano clay into zinc gel. the zn(ch3coo)2.2h2o and montmorillonite nano clay was used as precursor. the zinc acetate was dissolved in di water and, nh3 (aq) solution was dropped into the zinc solution until ph 9 consequently the zinc gel was produced. the montmori...

The goal of the current research was to synthesis zinc oxide nano-particles (ZnONPs) via simple, cheap and eco-friendly method which include reduction acetate dehydrate ZnONPs by using black currant aqueous extract (BC) as a reducing-agent. characterization stability, size, morphology, present functional groups on surface synthesized ZnOBCNPs were achieved SEM, X–ray diffraction, FTIR spectrosc...

PURPOSE Infection of the human cornea by herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) can cause significant vision loss. The purpose of this study was to develop an ex vivo model to visualize viral growth and spread in the cornea. The model was also used to analyze cytokine production and study the antiviral effects of zinc oxide tetrapods. METHODS A β-galactosidase-expressing recombinant virus, HSV-1...

background : incidence of  white  spots due  to  demineralization of  enamel  and  gingival problems  is  an  unacceptable  result  of  orthodontic  treatment.  plaque  accumulation  and bacterial biofilm growth are responsible for these phenomena. the resin-based dental composites used as bonding agents in orthodontics play a major role in mentioned problems. as recent researches assert the an...

Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have attracted increasing concerns because of their widespread use and toxic potential. In this study, Zn accumulations in different tissues (gills, liver, muscle, and gut) of goldfish (Carassius auratus) after exposure to ZnO NPs were studied in comparison with bulk ZnO and Zn(2+). And the technique of subcellular partitioning was firstly used on the liver of...

INTRODUCTION Today Nano-medicine tries to produce new drugs to reduce the dosage and side effects of their conventional forms. According to the interaction between zinc and opioidergic system activity, this study has investigated the effect of new kind of zinc supplement, nano zinc oxide (nZnO), in compared to its conventional form (cZnO), in presence and absence of opioidergic system activity ...

background: doxorubicin (dox), an anthracycline antibiotic, is a widely used anticancer agent. in spite of its high antitumor efficacy, the use of dox in clinical chemotherapy is limited due to diverse toxicities, including gonadotoxicity. objective:  we investigated the protective effect of nano-zinc oxide (nzno) as an established antioxidant on dox-induced testicular disorders. materials and ...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Nanoparticles can bypass conventional physiological ways of nutrient distribution and transport across tissue and cell membranes, as well as protect compounds against destruction prior to reaching their targets. In ovo administration of nanoparticles, may be seen as a new method of nano-nutrition, providing embryos with an additional quantity of nutrients. The aim of the stud...
