the aim of this study was to develop a novel multifunctional nanoparticle, which encapsulates spion and gemcitabine in plga±peg to form multifunctional drug delivery system. for this aim, super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (spions) were synthesized and encapsulated simultaneously with gemcitabine (gem) in plga±peg copolymers via w/o/w double emulsification method. optimum size and enca...

the objective of this study was to formulate and evaluate the drug-polymer interaction of mefenamic acid (ma) using two polymers with different characteristics as ethylcellulose (ec) and/or cellulose acetate phthalate (cap). microspheres were prepared by the modified emulsion solvent evaporation (mese). the effect of drug-polymer interaction was studied for each of microspheres. important param...

Reference ranges for -amylase in serum, spontaneously voided urine, and 24h urine were determined, using 4,6-ethylidene-(G7)-l-4-nitrophenyl-(Gl)-a,£)-malthoheptaoside äs the Substrate (EPS method), at 25, 30, and 37 °C. The measured values were evaluated with and without the use of a factor which converts the results of the -amylase EPS method into values comparable to those obtained with the ...

the synthetic seed technology is becoming popular due to its wide application in germplasm conservation and for exchanges between countries in the floriculture trade. in this study, this method was used to study the germination and conversion capabilities of orchid species dendrobium white fairy when stored at different storage times and with different storage containers. a high germination per...

the chitosan nanoparticles used widely as a drug delivery systems recently. in the present study the echis carinataus snake venom loaded chitosan nanoparticles were prepared based on ionic gelation of tripolyphosphate and chitosan. the nanoparticles physicochemical characteristics, stability and biological activity of encapsulated venom were studied. the particles were spherical in shape and th...

The current methods for treatment of cancers are inadequate and more specific methods such as gene therapy are in progress. Among different vehicles, cationic liposomes are frequently used for delivery of genetic material. This investigation aims to prepare and optimize DOTAP cationic liposomes containing an antisense oligonuclotide (AsODN) against protein kinase C alpha in non-small cells lung...

meter affecting the efficiency of the whole process is the chemical structure of the drug molecule. The saturated or unsaturated character o f PL acyl chains seems t o play a secondary role. T h e reason for this low incidence could he thc high content of cholesterol in the DRV preparations. It is well known that this molecule modulates the fluidity of the bilayers, having a dual behaviour, dep...

nowadays, developements in nanotechnology have leeds an increased application of this newborn technology in cancer treatment. in this study, a stabilized micelle was developed to load hpd in order to be used in photodynamic treatment of cancer in an animal model. to construct micelles, pluronic p-105 was used and stabilized to encapsulate hpd . this process includes a 24 h polymerization in whi...
