The apparent efficacy of zinc and cerium sulfadiazine and the metabolic role of other trace metals suggested that sulfonamide salts of these might be of therapeutic value. There is also a possibility that metal salts of other sulfonamides might be useful. Accordingly other sulfonamide salts of zinc were prepared and studied in vitro and in vivo. Only zinc sulfathiazole and zinc methoxazole were as effective as zinc sulfadiazine in animal studies. The sulfadiazines of aluminum, chromium, cobalt, copper and iron were prepared and compared in vitro and in vivo. Only cobalt sulfadiazine appeared comparable to zinc and cerium sulfadiazine in healing burn wounds in rats. Studies on the molecular structure of silver sulfonamides disclosed the polymeric structure peculiar to silver sulfadiazine which appears to account for its unique properties. It is not yet known whether other metal sulfadiazines have this attribute.

Eliminating cancer stem cells (CSCs) is essential for the effective treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). This study synthesized Au@cerium-zinc composite core@shell nanoparticles (Au@Zn/CeO) that were subsequently conjugated with () to create the engineered bacterium AZCE, which was then combined with microneedle carriers and freeze-dried to obtain AZCE-MN. Upon implantation into TNBC tumors, the inherent properties of facilitate AZCE to penetrate the extracellular matrix and break through the basement membrane, enabling effective delivery of AZC to CSCs-enriched regions deep within the tumor.

Background: The metal oxide nanoparticles possess unique properties such as biological compatibility, superior reactivity, and capacity to develop reactive oxygen species, due to this they have drawn significant interest in cancer treatment. The various MONPs such as cerium oxide, Copper oxide, Iron oxide, Titanium dioxide, and Zinc oxide have been investigated for several types of cancers including brain, breast, cervical, colon, leukemia, liver, lung, melanoma, ovarian, and prostate cancers. However, traditional physiochemical synthetic methods for MONPs commonly include toxic materials, a major concern that raises questions regarding their biocompatibility and safety.

The concentration of small molecules reflects the normality of physiological processes in the human body, making the development of simple and efficient detection equipment essential. In this work, inspired by a facile strategy in point-of-care detection, two devices were fabricated to detect small molecules via photocurrent measurement. A linear response of the photocurrent against the concentration of the small molecules was found.

Recent experimental studies have shown that the photocatalytic activity of zinc oxide is enhanced when doped with cerium and that these enhancements depend on the doping concentration; in particular, the highest photocatalytic activity rates have been reported for cerium concentrations in zinc oxide close to 3.00% or 5.00%.
