In this study, we investigated the chemical functionalization of carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT–COOH) by 1-Amino-2-naphthol-4-sulfonic acid (ANSA). The functionalized MWCNTs exhibited good aqueous solubility due to the presence of the –OH and – SO3H groups of ANSA. The antimicrobial activity of the MWCNT–COOH as well as its functionalized multiwall nanotube MWCNT-CO-2-(1-amino...

in this work we synthesized nano hydroxyapatite (hap)  by sol-gel method, then we functionalized hydroxyapatite nanoparticle by use of  3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (aptms) , to improve the loading and control release of sulfasalazine drug bonded to aptms. the drug release patterns from sulfasalazine loaded hap nanoparticles at ph value 8 for 6h, sulfasalazine loaded functionalized hap nanopa...

BACKGROUND. The era of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) set the such task for lung ultrasound (LUS): to identify presence COVID-pneumonia, its differential diagnosis with other conditions which characterized by interstitial edema, determining severity damage and location, dynamics pulmonary changes tissue, development complications, as well assess effectiveness personalized therapy.

Rhodium complexes of functionalized bisphospholane ligands (S,S,S,S-Me-ketalphos) 1 and (R,S,S,R-Me-ketalphos) 2 have been used as catalyst precursors for the asymmetric hydrogenation of several different types of functionalized olefins and have achieved high enantioselectivities. q 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

Surface engineering of a hydrogel nanoparticle (NP) with the tumor-targeting ligand, F3 peptide, enhances both the NP's binding affinity for, and internalization by, nucleolin overexpressing tumor cells. Remarkably, the F3-functionalized NPs consistently exhibited significantly lower trafficking to the degradative lysosomes than the non-functionalized NPs, in the tumor cells, after internalizat...

A quantification method to measure endocytosis was designed to assess cellular uptake and specificity of a targeting nanoparticle platform. A simple N -hydroxysuccinimide ester conjugation technique to functionalize 100-nm hollow silica nanoshell particles with fluorescent reporter fluorescein isothiocyanate and folate or polyethylene glycol (PEG) was developed. Functionalized nanoshells were c...

PURPOSE To examine the novel application of a commercially available optical coherence tomography (OCT) system toward molecular histopathology using gold nanorod (GNR) linked antibodies as a functionalized contrast agent to evaluate ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN). METHODS GNRs were synthesized and covalently attached to anti-glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) antibodies via carbodiimide...

in this work we synthesized of mesoporous silica nanoparticles and functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane to improve the loading and release of ibuprofen bonded to 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. sample were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy , x-ray diffraction, and ultraviolet-visible. the fourier transform infrared spectroscopy resu...

Abstract Background and Aims Hypertension related to subclinical volume overload is a common clinical problem in hemodialysis patients. Lung ultrasound (LUS) validated technique for minute titration of dry weight, but has limited adoption practice because it currently physician (nephrologist)-led methodology time consuming with 24-lung zones needing be imaged. This study aims show that (1) simp...
