In vitro and in vivo biocompatibility studies of zno nanoparticles

Abstract: The in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility of the ZnO nanoparticles were evaluated using cell model and animal model, by MTT assay, flow cell cytometry, pathological optical and electron microscopy examinations. Both the L929 cell and Hela cell proliferative activity were strongly inhibited by the presence of ZnO nanoparticles, no matter cultured with low dose and high dose suspension. AnnexinV-FITC/PI-FCM assay showed that the number of necrotic cell and apoptotic cell increased significantly. Feeding the ZnO nanoparticle suspension through digestive tract would lead to the damage to some primary organs (heart, lung, liver and kidney). Further investigation by TEM showed the expanded sarcoplasmic reticulum and organelle vacuolation features.

In Vitro Biocompatibility Study of Nano TiO2 Materials

Abstract: Nano TiO2 material is an extensively used and adequately studied material and has a close contact with human in various fields, such as dope, dye, ceramic, cosmetic and medicine. Therefore, it’s very important to study the biocompatibility and biosafety of nano TiO2 materials. In the present study, various nano TiO2 materials with different dimension and crystal structures were confected to suspensions with varied concentrations and evaluated in cell model (mouse fibrocyte) after autoclaving sterilization. After 24h, 48h and 72h of cell culture experiments, MTT assay was used to examine the cell proliferation behavior and the flow cytometry was used to examine the cell apoptosis behavior. The present results of cell experiment showed that nano TiO2 materials had no effect on cell proliferation and apoptosis in a certain range of time and concentration. MTT assay indicated the relative cell proliferation rate in all nano TiO2 material groups were above 92% and the toxicity grade were 0 or 1 class.

In Vivo Biocompatibility Studies of Nano TiO2 Materials

Abstract: TiO2 nanomaterials with different dimensions(zero and one), sizes(20nm, 50nm and 100nm in diameter) and crystal structures(100% rutile, 100% anatase and combination of 20% rutile and 80% anatase) were confected to suspensions and ointment with varied concentrations and evaluated in animal model (Balb-c mouse). These mouse were divided into various groups randomly, with suspension intraperitoneally injected or ointment transdermally daubed. Heart, lung, liver and kidney were collected and prepared to HE sample after one week. Spectrophotometry was applied to study total antioxide capability and catalase activity of blood and tissues. It has been shown that all TiO2 nanomaterial groups had no effect on lives’ morphology and oxidative stress, with no obvious histopathological changes observed in heart, lung, liver and kidney, and these tissues presented no vacuolar degeneration, necrosis edema, engorgement and inflammation.

The Toxic Effects and Mechanisms of CuO and ZnO Nanoparticles

Abstract: Recent nanotechnological advances suggest that metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) have been expected to be used in various fields, ranging from catalysis and opto-electronic materials to sensors, environmental remediation, and biomedicine. However, the growing use of NPs has led to their release into environment and the toxicity of metal oxide NPs on organisms has become a concern to both the public and scientists. Unfortunately, there are still widespread controversies and ambiguities with respect to the toxic effects and mechanisms of metal oxide NPs. Comprehensive understanding of their toxic effect is necessary to safely expand their use. In this review, we use CuO and ZnO NPs as examples to discuss how key factors such as size, surface characteristics, dissolution, and exposure routes mediate toxic effects, and we describe corresponding mechanisms, including oxidative stress, coordination effects and non-homeostasis effects.

Transient, Biocompatible Electronics and Energy Harvesters Based on ZnO

Abstract: The combined use of ZnO, Mg, MgO, and silk provides routes to classes of thin-film transistors and mechanical energy harvesters that are soluble in water and biofluids. Experimental and theoretical studies of the operational aspects and dissolution properties of this type of transient electronics technology illustrate its various capabilities. Application opportunities range from resorbable biomedical implants, to environmentally dissolvable sensors, and degradable consumer electronics.

The design, fabrication, and photocatalytic utility of nanostructured semiconductors: focus on TiO2-based nanostructures

Abstract: Recent advances in basic fabrication techniques of TiO 2 -based nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nanowires, nanoplatelets, and both physical- and solution-based techniques have been adopted by various research groups around the world. Our research focus has been mainly on various deposition parameters used for fabricating nanostructured materials, including TiO 2 -organic/inorganic nanocomposite materials. Technically, TiO 2 shows relatively high reactivity under ultraviolet light, the energy of which exceeds the band gap of TiO 2 . The development of photocatalysts exhibiting high reactivity under visible light allows the main part of the solar spectrum to be used. Visible light-activated TiO 2 could be prepared by doping or sensitizing. As far as doping of TiO 2 is concerned, in obtaining tailored material with improved properties, metal and nonmetal doping has been performed in the context of improved photoactivity. Nonmetal doping seems to be more promising than metal doping. TiO 2 represents an effective photocatalyst for water and air purification and for self-cleaning surfaces. Additionally, it can be used as an antibacterial agent because of its strong oxidation activity and superhydrophilicity. Therefore, applications of TiO 2 in terms of photocatalytic activities are discussed here. The basic mechanisms of the photoactivities of TiO 2 and nanostructures are considered alongside band structure engineering and surface modification in nanostructured TiO 2 in the context of doping. The article reviews the basic structural, optical, and electrical properties of TiO 2 , followed by detailed fabrication techniques of 0-, 1-, and quasi-2-dimensional TiO 2 nanomaterials. Applications and future directions of nanostructured TiO 2 are considered in the context of various photoinduced phenomena such as hydrogen production, electricity generation via dye-sensitized solar cells, photokilling and self-cleaning effect, photo-oxidation of organic pollutant, wastewater management, and organic synthesis.
