Laser-evaporated iron was deposited onto solid oxygen at 20 K to produce stratified samples consisting of Fe and 02 layers. The Mossbauer spectra of these samples were acquired in order too investigate their oxidation states and chemical properties. The reaction produced the trivalent iron oxide particles whose size varied depending on the amount of Fe atoms deposited on the solid oxygen. Sampl...

BACKGROUND It was recently reported that iron oxide nanoparticles attenuated antigen-specific humoral responses and T cell cytokine expression in ovalbumin-sensitized mice. It is presently unclear whether iron oxide nanoparticles influence T helper 1 cell-mediated immunity. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of iron oxide nanoparticles on delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH), whos...

The relaxation rates of iron-oxide nanoparticles compartmentalized within cells were studied and found to satisfy predictions of the static dephasing (SD) regime theory. THP-1 cells in cell culture were loaded using two different iron-oxide nanoparticles (superparamagnetic iron-oxide (SPIO) and ultrasmall SPIO (USPIO)) with four different iron concentrations (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mg/ml) and ...

BACKGROUND Mitochondrial ferritin is a nuclear encoded iron-storage protein localized in mitochondria. It has anti-oxidant properties related to its ferroxidase activity, and it is able to sequester iron avidly into the organelle. The protein has a tissue-specific pattern of expression and is also highly expressed in sideroblasts of patients affected by hereditary sideroblastic anemia and by re...

In the present study we have reported an iron-loading in the rat brown adipose tissue (BAT) after 3-day treatment with insulin (4 IU/kg). Light microscopy showed numerous iron-positive cells (Perls' stain) mainly macrophages and brown adipocytes, while electron-microscopic examination revealed lipofuscin granules and phagosomes as iron-containing components. These results clearly indicate that ...

The surface displacements measured by the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) provide a unique insight for studying terrestrial water storage (TWS) changes. In this study, we recovered TWS changes from GNSS vertical in Southwest China (SWC) using Slepian basis function (SBF) January 2011 to December 2020. performance of estimated SBF was validated against Gravity Recovery and Climate Expe...

in this study, a mixed matrix polyethersulfone/iron-nickel oxide nanoparticle nanofiltration membrane was prepared by the solution casting technique. polyvinylpyrrolidone was also used as a membrane pore former in membrane fabrication. the effect of iron-nickel oxide nanoparticles concentration in the casting solution on the membrane structure and performance was investigated. scanning optical ...

The iron storage macrophage has been isolated from the marrow of Imferon-treated mice and studied in vitro by morphologic, histochemical, and functional tests and isotope labeling techniques. These macrophages on stained preparations are large, many times binucleate cells (up to 150 mu), and show Prussian blue reactivity. In Epon-embedded, stained thick sections they contain elongated narrow ba...

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...

One of the main challenging issues for aerobic nitrifying granules in treating high strength ammonia wastewater is the long granulation time required for activated sludge to transform into aerobic granules. The present study provides a novel strategy for enhancing aerobic nitrifying granulation by applying an intensity of 48.0mT static magnetic field. The element analysis showed that the applie...
