Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of water-soluble anions and suspended particles on air quality in different coastal areas in Zhanjiang, highlighting their negative effects on ecosystems and human health.
- Average pollutant concentrations were highest in coastal urban areas, particularly for Cl, NO, PO, and TSP, while SO peaked in coastal industrial areas, with seasonal variations observed.
- The findings suggest important relationships between pollutant levels and meteorological factors, emphasizing the need for targeted strategies to address air pollution sources in affected coastal regions.
The combination of nanotechnology and medicine will be the next generation of vehicles for targeted drug delivery. Carboxymethyl chitosan loaded with the anticancer drug C-phycocyanin and the CD59-specific ligand peptide for cancer cell targeting were used to create C-phycocyanin/carboxymethyl chitosan-CD59-specific ligand peptide nanoparticles using the ionic-gelation method. Optimal synthesis conditions, selected by response surface methodology, comprised the ratio carboxymethyl chitosan:C-phycocyanin = 3:1, and carboxymethyl chitosan and CaCl concentrations of 2.

Furthermore, the anticancer mechanism of the drug combination was revealed. Results showed both C-PC and ATRA could inhibit the growth of A549 cells in vivo.

The effects of C-PC and ATRA on the growth of A549 cells were determined. The expression of CDK-4 and caspase-3, and the cellular apoptosis levels were detected.
