Magnetic field potential effects on the doxorubicin therapeutic activity in Ehrlich tumor growth.

Aim: Therapeutic choices for cancer patients include many combinations of therapeutic protocols. The present study aimed to investigate and discuss the combined effects of magnetic field and chemotherapy treatment on Ehrlich tumor-induced growth in Swiss albino mice. The benefits of both treatments are discussed and interpreted.

Fibrous scaffolds of Ag/Fe co-doped hydroxyapatite encapsulated into polycaprolactone: Morphology, mechanical and in vitro cell adhesion.

The development of a scaffold matrix to promote wound healing is a critical requirement to improve the health care system. For this purpose, electrospun scaffolds of polycaprolactone (PCL) have been encapsulated with hydroxyapatite (HAP) doped with different contributions Ag ions. The obtained scaffolds have been investigated by XRD, FTIR and FESEM.

Nanofibers of cellulose acetate containing ZnO nanoparticles/graphene oxide for wound healing applications.

A combination of nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) or graphene oxide or both of them with cellulose acetate (CA) enhances a new functionality of nanofibers aiming to improve bio-composite materials for wound healing application. The obtained nanofibers have been investigated using XRD, FTIR, and FESEM. It was observed that the maximum height of the roughness increased from 253 to 651.

Enhanced Ehrlich tumor inhibition using DOX-NP and gold nanoparticles loaded liposomes.

Treatment with doxorubicin (DOX) is a common treatment for different types of cancer. DOX-NP is one of a well established marketed liposomal formulation for DOX. It has advantages over free DOX in reducing the cardiac toxicity and increasing the efficacy.

Natural radionuclides in clay deposits: concentration and dose assessment.

Clays are among the most important industrially used minerals. Three potential clay mineral mining sites in Saudi Arabia were chosen, and 21 clay deposit samples were collected. The activity concentrations (average±standard deviation) of the naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORMs), (238)U, (226)Ra, (232)Th, (228)Ra and (40)K, were 49±20, 47±23, 34±11, 40±20 and 751 Bq kg(-1), respectively.
