Introduction: Further development of magnetic-based detection techniques could be significant use in increasing the sensitivity and quantification hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The present work addresses fabrication characterization a new bio-nano composite based on immobilization goat anti-HBsAg antibody modified core-shell magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) by (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (...

In the present investigation, the oxidizing roasting process of chromite with sodium carbonate to prepare potassium dichromate crystals was studied in the microwave field with air, by heating the chromite and sodium carbonate. The chromite and sodium carbonate heated separately at 1000 ◦C in the microwave oven (frequency: 2.45 GHz; power 1.5 kW) in order to study the microwave absorption proper...

Iron oxide thin films, with an α-Fe2O3 phase, were deposited by two techniques. The first was evaporation of iron in vacuum, followed by oxidation through annealing in air. The second was reactive evaporation of iron in an oxygen atmosphere. This was also followed by annealing in air. The structural, morphological and chemical properties of the films were investigated. All films were polycrysta...

The effect of small amounts of ruthenium on the formation of magnetite in highly alkaline media was investigated using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Mössbauer and FT-IR spectroscopies, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Acicular a-FeOOH particles precipitated in a highly alkaline medium with the addition of tetramethylammonium ...

AIMS This study aims to explore non-invasive imaging of atherosclerotic plaque through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) by using profilin-1 targeted magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (PF1-Cy5.5-DMSA-Fe3O4-NPs, denoted as PC-NPs) as multimodality molecular imaging probe in murine model of atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS PC-NPs were constructed by conj...

We present a different strategy for synthesizing the Au-γ-Fe2O3 bifunctional nanoparticle by using a larger (50 nm) Au nanoparticle as the core surrounded by smaller (10 nm) γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles. The synthesis of the composite nanoparticles is quite facile based on a simple redox process whereby Fe2+ is used to reduce Au3+. The morphology and composition of the product is measured by transmiss...

Co-delivery approach has been recommended to reduce the amount of each drug and to achieve the synergistic effect for cancer treatment. CUR and SF have antitumor effects, but their application is limited because of their low water solubility and poor oral bioavailability. To improve the bioavailability and solubility of SF and CUR, we performed an innovative co-delivery of SF and CUR with magne...

A novel modified ion selective electrode based on Fe2O3-clorprenaline/tetraphenylborate nanospheres (Fe2O3-CLPT NSs) as electroactive materials for the determination of clorprenaline hydrochloride (CLP) is described. The α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis, then self-assembled on CLP/tetraphenylborate (TPB) to form Fe2O3-CLPT NSs, which were used as a potentiomet...

Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) MnFe2O4 and Fe3O4 were stabilised by depositing an Al(OH)3 layer via a hydrolysis process. The particles displayed excellent colloidal stability in water and a high affinity to [(18)F]-fluoride and bisphosphonate groups. A high radiolabeling efficiency, 97% for (18)F-fluoride and 100% for (64)Cu-bisphosphonate conjugate, was achieved by simply incubating NPs with ra...
