Objective: The aim of the paper presented herein is the description and safety evaluation of the process of dissolution of an 86-microneedle patch composed of hyaluronic acid, when applied topically to human abdominal skin explants. Such explants were chosen to replace the inability of obtaining periorbital skin. In order to evaluate penetration and dissolution of the microneedles, we employed histochemical methods and a fluorescent dye FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate).

The aim of the study was to evaluate the safe doses of commercially available nanosized colloidal silver (NCS), stabilized with polyvinilpirrolidone (PVP, food additive E1201) when administered in gastrointestinal tract of rats in the 92-day experiment in terms of the morphological changes in the internals of animals. The sample studied contained non-aggregated nanoparticles (NPs) of silver belonging to size fractions with a diameter of less than 5 nm, 10-20 nm or 50-80 nm. 80% of NPs were inside the range of hydrodynamic diameters 10.

The article presents results of experimental study concerning acute inhalation toxicity of nanodispersed manganese oxide widely used in novelty goods production. During the technology process, nano-dimensional manganese oxide aerosol could appear in workplace air--that causes danger of the workers' inhalation exposure. Findings are that the studied substance is a nanomaterial with prevalent fihiform particles measuring 15-29 nm.
