background: despite the wide range of applications, there is a serious lack of information on the impact of the nanoparticles on human health and the environment. the present study was done to determine the range of dangerous concentrations of iron oxide nanoparticle and their effects on mouse embryonic stem cells. methods: iron oxide nanoparticles with less than 20 nanometers diameter were enc...

The biocompatible and biodegradable polymer nanofiber with high potential for anti-bacterial coating are used for: multi-functional membranes, tissue engineering, wound dressings, drug delivery, artificial organs, vascular grafts and etc. Electrospinning nanofiber made of scaffolding due to characteristics such as high surface to volume ratio, high porosity and very fine pores are used for a wi...

abstract:any effects of wood coating with different compounds as nano-zinc, nano-chitosan, chitosan, silicon oil and flaxseed oil on surface properties as; wood color change, surface roughness and wettability were studied in the current research work. for this purpose, sample boards of beech wood were cut into sizes of 2×10×20cm. the specimens were coated with the noticed coatings and tested fo...

Blend membranes of chitosan and poly (ethylene oxide) with different molecular weights of 100,000 and 600,000 were prepared by the solution cast technique. The Chitosan-PEO blend membranes were produced to study their water adsorptions capacity and characteristics of the haemodialysis membrane application. An increase in the water adsorption capacity of chitosan-PEO blend membranes compared to ...

   Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have numerous applications in the biomedical field. This paper reports the preparation and properties of iron oxide nanoparticles synthesised by thermal decomposition method from iron chelates. The iron oxide nanoparticles were characterized by FTIR, powder XRD, VSM, SEM and TEM techniques. FTIR and powder XRD studies show that iron oxide was fo...

Magnetic nanoparticles are the good choice for using in MRI as the contrast agent. Iron oxide particles such as magnetite (Fe3O4) or its oxidized form maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) are the most commonly employed in biomedical applications. In this study, we synthesized and optimized the preparation of chitosan manganese-ferrite nanoparticles (CMn-Fe nps) and evaluated its ability for the mice macrophage ...

BACKGROUND At present there is no standard of care for patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) because of the difficulty in delivering therapeutically effective doses of drugs to the intracellular site of the target PCNSL. Here we report the use of an iron oxide nanoparticle to promote the internalization of a PCNSL targeting antibody by target cells. METHODS Iron oxide ...

The effects of chitosan on nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) activity and gene expression in vivo or vitro were investigated in weaned piglets. In vivo, 180 weaned piglets were assigned to five dietary treatments with six replicates. The piglets were fed on a basal diet supplemented with 0 (control), 100, 500, 1000, and 2000 mg chitosan/kg feed, respectivel...

Synthetic dye contamination of wastewater has long been a social issue, with adsorption being the most focused upon research technique among treatment. Using co-precipitation method, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) size 13.6 ± 1.9 nm were synthesized. By adsorbing methylene blue (MB) on modified surface SPIONs using polyvinyl alcohol, chitosan, and graphene oxide, entrapment...
