Application of nanotechnology in medicinal and biological fields has attracted a great interest in the recent yeras. In this paper the cell membrane leakage induced by iron nanoparticles (Fe-NP) against PC12 cell line which is known as a model of nervous system cell line was investigated by the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) test. Therefore, PC12 cells were incubated with different concentration o...

Fe-substituted MCM-41 molecular sieves with ca. 1, 2, and 3 wt % Fe were synthesized hydrothermally using different sources of colloidal silica (HiSil and Cab-O-Sil) and characterized by ICP, XRD, N2 physisorption, UV-vis, EPR, TPR, and X-ray absorption. Catalysts synthesized from Cab-O-Sil showed higher structural order and stability than those from HiSil. The local environment of Fe in the me...

The aim of this study was to determine whether citric acid adsorbed onto cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles (NPs) influences the bioavailability of their constituents Co and Fe. Dissolution of Co and Fe was assessed by two measures: (i) in aqueous suspension using chemical analysis, prior to application onto the food of test organisms; and (ii) in vivo, measuring the bioavailability in the ...

In this paper, ionic liquid (IL)-coated magnetic Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles (NPs) as an adsorbent of mixed hemimicelles solid-phase extraction (SPE) was investigated for the preconcentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from environmental samples. Due to the high surface area and excellent adsorption capacity of the Fe(3)O(4) NPs after modification with ILs, satisfactory extraction r...

magnetic nanoparticles are the good choice for using in mri as the contrast agent. iron oxide particles such as magnetite (fe3o4) or its oxidized form maghemite (γ-fe2o3) are the most commonly employed in biomedical applications. in this study, we synthesized and optimized the preparation of chitosan manganese-ferrite nanoparticles (cmn-fe nps) and evaluated its ability for the mice macrophage ...

A simple and facile method for the preparation ofFe2+ supported on hydroxyapatite-core-shell-γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (γ-Fe2O3@HAp-Fe2+ NPs) as an environmentally friendly and recyclable green catalyst is described and used for the one-pot synthesis of benzimidazoles and benzoxazole derivatives via reactions between aromatic aldehyd...

In this research, spherical α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) were supported on the surface of 12-tungstosilicic acid (12-TSA.7H2O) as a catalyst support, using two different Forced Hydrolysis and Reflux Condensation (FHRC) and Solid-State Dispersion (SSD) methods. α-Fe2O3 and 12-TSA.7H2O were synthesized due to previous reports. A...

Calcimimetics administered orally cause "pharmacological parathyroidectomy" confirmed by a decrease in parathyroid hormone secretion (PTH) and in plasma Ca(2+) concentration. Parathyroids are also the source of parathyroid hypertensive factor (PHF). The aim of this study was to determine the dose-dependent effect of an intravenously (iv) applied calcimimetic, NPS R-568, on plasma Ca(2+) concent...

In this study, ternary mixed metal oxide (Ce2O3/La2O3/Fe3O4) catalysts were synthesized for reduction of SO2 to sulfur by CH4. The response surface method (RSM) was used to optimize the synthesis conditions. The XRD, FESEM, BET, BJH, EDX and NH3-TPD analyses were performed to characterize the synt...
