Characteristics and Antitumor Activity of Doxorubicin-Loaded Multifunctional Iron Oxide Nanoparticles in MEC1 and RM1 Cell Lines.

The rapid progress in nanotechnology has introduced multifunctional iron oxide nanoparticles as promising agents in cancer treatment. This research focused on the synthesis and assessment of citric-acid-coated, folic-acid-conjugated nanoparticles loaded with doxorubicin, evaluating their therapeutic potential in tumor models. An advanced automated continuous technology line (CTL) utilizing a controlled co-precipitation method was employed to produce highly dispersive, multifunctional nanofluids with a narrow size distribution.

Technical aspects of entrapped coronary guidewire retrieval using rotational atherectomy device: A case series.

Background: This article highlights four unique cases where rotational atherectomy (RA Rotapro, Boston Scientific) was used to cut and retrieve an entrapped coronary guidewire with parts extending into the aorta We discuss the technique and step by step approach to the retrieval procedure.

Case Summary: Three of four cases described a guide wire entrapment in the right coronary artery (RCA), and one in the left anterior descending artery via retrograde route. In all cases the guide wire was intact within the intracoronary segment.

An Uncommon Side Effect of Rivaroxaban: A Drug-Induced Liver Injury.

Rivaroxaban is rarely associated with drug-induced liver injury (DILI). A 57-year-old male was sent to the emergency room from an endocrine clinic for a presyncope evaluation. His exam was non-focal, and his laboratory work was remarkable for the hepatocellular pattern of liver injury.

Synthesis, Characterization, and In Vitro Cytotoxicity Evaluation of Doxorubicin-Loaded Magnetite Nanoparticles on Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cell Lines.

In this study, we investigated the cytotoxicity of doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded magnetic nanofluids on 4T1 mouse tumor epithelial cells and MDA-MB-468 human triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using sonochemical coprecipitation by applying electrohydraulic discharge treatment (EHD) in an automated chemical reactor, modified with citric acid and loaded with DOX. The resulting magnetic nanofluids exhibited strong magnetic properties and maintained sedimentation stability in physiological pH conditions.
