introduction in this study, we describe the results of controlled synthesis and application of gold coated fe3o4/sio2 nano-shells combined with the optical property of gold for enhancement of selective photothermal interaction with cancerous cells based on the surface plasmon resonance (spr) phenomena. materials and methods magnetite nano-particles (mnps) were prepared by means of co-precipitat...

Gold nanorods, as an emerging noble metal nanomaterial with unique properties, have become the new exciting focus of theoretical and experimental studies in the past few years. The structure and function of gold nanorods, especially their biocompatibility, optical property, and photothermal effects, have been attracting more and more attention. Gold nanorods exhibit great potential in applicati...

Certain observations have been reported according to which complications in association with gold therapy in rheumatoid arthritis would seem to be inversely proportional to the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (Goldie, 1939; Ellman and others, 1940; Lawrence, 1953). This has been explained on the basis that a high E.S.R. is generally seen in the active exudative stage of the disease, and that the...

background: radiation-sensitive polymer gels are among the most promising three-dimensional dose verification tools and tissue-like developed to date. among the special features of this type of dosimeters, is be doped with other elements or chemicals which made them appropriate for investigating of dose enhancement with contrast agents, by high atomic number. material and methods: in this study...

This review will first look at the various covalent strategies that have been developed to attach drugs to gold nanoparticles as well as the strengths and limitations of such strategies. After examining general strategies for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles and their subsequent covalent functionalization, this review will focus on nanoparticle conjugates for gene therapy, antibacterial, and...

Enhancing the effect of radiation on tumors would be a significant improvement in radiation therapy. With radiation enhancement, less radiation could be used to achieve the same goals, lessening damage to healthy tissue and lessening side effects. Gold nanoparticles are a promising method for achieving this enhancement, particularly when the gold nanoparticles are targeted to cancer. This liter...
