The cellular effects of platinum nanoparticles (PNP05, average size of 5 nm, and PNP30, average size of 30 nm) were investigated on murine leukemia Raw 264.7 cells. Cells treated with various concentrations of PNPs showed size-dependent cytotoxicity in an MTT assay with PNP5 of smaller nanoparticles higher toxicity than PNP30.

A series of PAMAM dendrimer generation 5-poly(acrylic acid) grafts were prepared to evaluate the potential use of dendritic grafts as a drug encapsulated nanocarrier. The structural features of the synthesized polymer graft were identified by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectra and the biophysical properties were characterized by measuring its particle size and zeta potential. The prepared dendrimer G5-PAA grafts had particle size in the range of 600 to 900 nm and the size increased proportionally with the number of PAA on dendrimer surface.

Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed 135 stomach samples from patients with gastrointestinal issues and healthy controls to investigate Helicobacter pylori and Candida infections.
  • Candida krusei was present in 20% of bleeding patients, 52% of ulcer patients, and 100% of gastritis patients, while H. pylori was found in 82%, 35%, and 30% of these groups, respectively.
  • No Candida krusei was found in samples from healthy controls, indicating a potential association with gastrointestinal diseases.
