Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a widely used commercial material that is finding use in wound healing applications due to its antimicrobial properties. Our study demonstrates a novel approach for coating ZnO with precise thickness control onto 20 nm and 100 nm pore diameter anodized aluminum oxide using atomic layer deposition (ALD). ZnO was deposited throughout the nanoporous structure of the anodized al...

The impacts of zinc oxide nanoparticles on embryonic development following oocyte stage exposure are unknown and the underlying mechanisms are sparsely understood. In the current investigation, intact nanoparticles were detected in ovarian tissue in vivo and cultured cells in vitro under zinc oxide nanoparticles treatment. Zinc oxide nanoparticles exposure during the oocyte stage inhibited embr...

Zinc oxide nanowire photoanodes are chemically stabilized by conformal growth of an ultrathin shell of titania through atomic layer deposition, permitting their stable operation for water splitting in a strongly alkaline solution. Because of the passivation of zinc oxide surface charge traps by titania coating, core/shell nanowire arrays supply a photocurrent density of 0.5 mA/cm under simulate...

This study aimed to assess the response of apical and periapical tissues of dogs' teeth after root canal filling with different materials. Forty roots from dogs' premolars were prepared biomechanically and assigned to 4 groups filled with: Group I: commercial calcium hydroxide and polyethylene glycol-based paste (Calen) thickened with zinc oxide; Group II: paste composed of iodoform, Rifocort a...

Through the microwave assisted fast synthesis method, Zinc Magnesium Oxide nanocomposite was prepared. Zinc Magnesium Oxide nanocomposite heated at 500oC was used for further structural, optical and antibacterial studies. The Debye Scherrer equation was used to calculate the average particle size of the nanocomposite. The optical characterization of the oxide nanocomposite was carried out by UV...

introduction: the aim of this animal study was to evaluate the histological response of the new nano zinc-oxide eugenol (nzoe) sealer in comparison with pulp canal sealer (zoe based) and ah-26 (epoxy resin sealer). methods and materials: a total of 27 wistar rats were used. four polyethylene tubes were implanted in the back of each rat (three tubes containing the test materials and an empty tub...

Tissue zinc is used to define zinc availability, but deposition is far from the absorption site and only a fraction of absorbed zinc is deposited. Alternatively, zinc availability may be defined by quantifying expression of specific zinc-responsive genes in the small intestine. Metallothionein (MT) protein binds zinc and its mRNA expression is reported to reflect zinc status. A real time polyme...

zinc and iron nano-oxides (100 ppb) were promoted the hypericin and hyperforin production in hypericum perforatum cell suspension culture. high performance liquid chromatography method was used for detectection and identification of hypericin and hyperforin in h. perfuratum cell suspension cultures elicited with different concentrations of zinc and iron nano-oxide (0, 50, 100 and 150 ppb) after...

This research was conducted to evaluate effects of mycorrhiza fungi and nano zinc oxide on agro physiological traits of wheat under salinity stress based on factorial experiment according complete randomized block design with three replications under greenhouse condition at 2014. Treatments included salinity in three levels [no-salt (S0) or control, salinity 40 (S1) and 80 (S2) mM NaCl], two le...
