The paper is aimed to investigate the toxicity of nano-TiO2 and its potential harmful impact on human health using meta-analysis of in vitro and short-time animal studies. Data were retrieved according to included and excluded criteria from 1994 to 2011. The combined toxic effects of nano-TiO2 were calculated by the different endpoints by cell and animal models. From analysis of the experimenta...

our primary objective was to measure root canal penetrations of aqueous antibacterial nano-chitosan (nano-cs), for the first time. the second objective was to compare and contrast such penetrations to those of chitosan (cs) itself, as well as sodium hypochlorite (naocl), chlorhexidine (chx) and ethylenediamintetraacetic acid (edta), at the routinely used concentrations. molar roots were split l...

abstract in respect to nano-technological studies and physiological and biochemical lesions of these materials on aquatic animals, in this study we examine the toxicity effects of nano-zinc oxide (zno nps) on hematological indices of common carp (cyprinus carpio). lc50 of nano zinc oxide was determined according to the mortality at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours, respectively. during separate experime...

abstract increase in the use of nano zinc oxide in medicine, manufacturing cosmetic products and research, have raised the questions about their toxicity. zinc has direct role in growth, maturation and ovulation through influence on production of estradiol and progesterone. in this study the effects of nano zinc oxide on oogenesis of adult nmri mouse strain have been investigated. the adult fem...

Scutellariabaicalensis (SB) is a traditional Chinese medicine for treating infectious and inflammatory diseases. Our recent study shows potent antibacterial effects of nanoparticle-encapsulated chlorhexidine (Nano-CHX). Herein, we explored the synergistic effects of the nanoparticle-encapsulated SB (Nano-SB) and Nano-CHX on oral bacterial biofilms. Loading efficiency of Nano-SB was determined b...

  Background: As increased outdoor activities of people, they are more exposed to UV radiation, which causes harmful effects on skin. Silymarin has protective potentials against DNA damage and non-melanoma skin cancers, and also it has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune regulation characteristics. Nano formulation of plant material showed to be more effective than common ones.   Object...

Objective(s): Since microbial contamination can reduce the shelf life of the foodstuff and there is a potential for the growth of some pathogen microorganisms, films containing antimicrobial agents were produced, which are also biodegradable. In this study, the effect of 1, 3 and 5% nano-zinc oxide on antimicrobial properties and permeability of poly lactic acid film was invest...
