introduction: laser tissue soldering is a new technique for repair of various tissues including the skin, liver, articular cartilage and nerves and is a promising alternative to suture. to overcome the problems of thermal damage to surrounding tissues and low laser penetration depth, some exogenous chromophores such as gold nanoshells, a new class of nanoparticles consisting of a dielectric cor...

conclusions due to the significant reduction in the mean inactivation dose of colon cancer cells in the presence of gold nanoparticles, it seems that gnps are suitable options to achieve a new approach in order to improve radiotherapy efficiency without increasing the prescribed radiation dose. results cell survival in the presence of gnps was more than 90% and the maximum uptake of gnps was ob...

the takmeh-dash region comprises a wide variety of igneous bodies that have been developed from early to late neogen. the granitic rocks and related aplite apophyses have been developed along fault-dominated structures which defines a well pronounced mineralized zone. according to isotopic and fluid inclusion studies, most of the quartz-pyrite units are solution-related with some traces of cu, ...

background: gold nanoparticles are emerging as promising agents for cancer therapy and are being investigated as drug carriers, photothermal agents, contrast agents and radiosensitisers. objective: the aim of this study is to understand characteristics of secondary electrons generated from interaction of gold nanoparticles gnps with x-rays as a function of nanoparticle size and beam energy and ...

objective(s): our present study sought to evaluate hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of methanol extract of azolla microphylla phytochemically synthesized gold nanoparticles (gnap) in acetaminophen (apap) - induced hepatotoxicity of fresh water common carp fish.materials and methods: gnap were prepared by green synthesis method using methanol extract of azolla microphylla.  twenty four f...

one of the applications of gold nanoparticles (gnps) in medicine is radiation dose-enhancing effect. although there are many simulations, in vitro and in vivo evidence that gnps can enhance significantly the radiation dose effect of orthovoltage beams. these beams compared with megavoltage (mv) beams, have limited applications in radiotherapy. in order to evaluate gnps radiosensitization perfor...

the quality of hg contaminated sediments in artisanal gold mining areas of tanzania have to date only been assessed through bulk chemical analysis. however, measurement of contaminant levels alone has a limited ability to predict adverse effects on living resources. in this study we investigated the possible effects of hg contaminated sediments from the river mabubi which drains the artisanal g...

sodium bentonite can bind to dietary pigment and decreases yolk color scale. sodium bentonite is one of the main parts of formycine® gold, the effect of different levels of formycine® gold and dietary pigment on egg quality, egg yolk color and performance criteria of laying hens from 26 to 34 week of age were studied. one hundred ninety two hy-line hens were divided into 24 groups of 8 birds ea...
