iron oxide is an important biological agent that has a key role in medical processes; however, the mechanism whereby it provides iron for human and animal cells and its biological uses remains unclear. we aimed to evaluate the effects of oral iron oxide on serum iron status and compare the results with those of iron sulfate as a reference salt. fifteen adult rabbits were divided into 3 groups o...

introduction: ferric sulfate pulpotomy is a safe and effective method of the pulpotomy of primary teeth. but the results of different studies indicate low success rate of ferric sulfate pulpotomy in comparison to formocresol pulpotomy and a portion of these failures may be related to stimulating and harmful effects of zinc oxide eugenol paste. the aim of this study was to determine and compare ...

With the rapid growing of nanotechnology, the effects of nanomaterials released into the environment on plants have drawn more and more attention. Iron is an element essential for plant growth and development. Iron is involved in chlorophyll formation; iron deficiency will cause a plant disorder known as chlorosis. However, whether iron in nano-ferric oxide can be absorbed by plants were rarely...

The magnitude and temperature-sensitivity of oxygen isotope fractionation in ferric oxide-water systems remain uncertain. In this study, three different synthetic methods are used to investigate the temperature dependence of the fractionation between water and hematite, akaganeite, and goethite at near-surface temperatures. Our results reveal two similarities among these ferric oxide-water syst...

Acute changes in the surface morphology of hamster tracheobronchial epithelium were examined by scanning electron microscopy following intratracheal administration of ferric oxide or benzo(a)pyrene absorbed to ferric oxide. Multiple instillation of ferric oxide brought about a loss of ciliated cells and broad areas of abnormal, enlarged nonciliated cells with roughened or wrinkled surfaces. The...

Stem cell transfection agents have traditionally included lipofectamine, but newer agents include polyethyleneimine-coated magnetic ferro-ferric oxide nanoparticles. This study was done to compare these two methods in transfecting cultured ratmesenchymal stem cells. Magnetic ferro-ferric oxide nanoparticles were coated with polyethyleneimine using co-precipitation of alkali metal ions, forming ...

Benzo(a)pyrene (BP), prepared as a suspension of fine crystalline particles attached to particles of ferric oxide in 0.9% NaCl solution, was administered by intratracheal instillation to Syrian golden hamsters. A single administration of 37.5 mg BP with 12.5 mg ferric oxide in 0.5 ml 0.9% NaCl solution induced five bronchogenic carcinomas and five histologically benign respiratory tumors in a t...
