Chronic oestradiol treatment (1 mg oestradiol benzoate, as an aqueous microcrystal suspension, i.m. twice a week for 6 weeks) produces in rats increased thyroxine-binding capacity of the adenohypophyseal proteins in vitro, an increase in the ceruloplasmin (polyphenol oxidase) level in blood and a decrease in the hypothalamic ascorbic acid concentration. The simultaneous administration of silver nitrate (10mg/rat/day in food) inhibits all these reactions in oestradiol. Apart from inhibiting blood polyphenol oxidase activity, silver nitrate itself has no effect. The possibility of the interaction of polyphenol oxidase(ceruloplasmin), silver nitrate and hypothalamic ascorbic acid in the dopaminergic modulation of the adenohypophyseal reaction to oestradiol is discussed.

OrthoLab, The Rudbeck Laboratory, Department of Surgical Sciences/Orthopedics, Uppsala University, 75185 Uppsala, Sweden.

Silver (Ag) possesses potent antimicrobial properties and is used as a coating for medical devices. The impact of silver ions released from orthopedic implants on the differentiation and osteoid formation of different osteogenic cells has yet to be systematically studied. In the present study, human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) and primary human osteoblasts (hOBs) were exposed to different static Ag concentrations (0, 0.

The development of resistance to traditional antifungal therapies has necessitated the exploration of alternative treatment strategies to effectively manage fungal infections, particularly those induced by (). This research investigates the possibility of integrating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with Terbinafine to improve antifungal effectiveness. Terbinafine, while potent, faces challenges with specific fungal strains, highlighting the need for strategies to enhance its treatment efficacy.

Aiming toward a novel, noninvasive technique, with a real-time potential application in the monitoring of the complexation of steroidal neuromuscular blocker drugs Vecuronium () and Rocuronium () with sugammadex (, medication for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade induced by or in general anesthesia), we developed proof-of-principle methodology based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Silver nanoparticles prepared by the reduction of silver ions with hydroxylamine hydrochloride were used as SERS-active substrates, additionally aggregated with calcium nitrate as needed. The and SERS spectra were obtained within the biorelevant 5 × 10-1 × 10 M range, as well as the SERS of , though the latter was observed only in the presence of the aggregating agent.

The aim of this study was to develop an electrolysis system to produce silver nanoparticles free from toxic gases, as the most common reduction and electrolysis techniques produce nitrogen dioxide (NO) as a byproduct, which is harmful to human health. The new electrolysis system used two identical silver plate electrodes, replacing silver and carbon rods, and used water as the electrolyte instead of silver nitrate (AgNO) solution since AgNO is the source of NO. The electrolytic silver nanoparticles (ESNs) produced by the new system were characterized and compared with reductive silver nanoparticles (RSNs).
