AbstractClinoptilolite modified with polypyrrole and iron oxide nanoparticles (Cln-PPy-Fe3O4) nanocomposite as a potential adsorbent for V (V) ions was prepared via polymerization of pyrrole monomer using FeCl3 oxidant in aqueous medium in which clinoptilolite-Fe3O4 nanoparticles were suspended. The structure and morphology of the prepared adsorbent was analysed with the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer, field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM). Column fixed bed studies were performed to test the ability of the adsorbent to remove V (V) ions from aqueous solution. Low values of adsorbent exhaustion rate (AER) and large bed volumes were observed at lower metal ion concentration, higher bed mass and lower flow rate for V(V) removal indicating good performance. The volume of treated water processed at breakthrough point were found to be 0.09; 0.63 and 1.26 L for bed mass of 1, 2.5; and 5 g, respectively. The Yoon–Nelson and Thomas models appropriately described the breakthrough curves.

Purpose: This study focuses on increasing production of biogas as an alternative energyfrom biodegradable wastes (BWs) using BSA coated iron oxides nanoparticles, in view ofsolving waste management at household level. Many attempts have been performed in orderto increase biogas production, including thermal pre-treatment of organic waste, but all ofthem present limited industrial applications. Iron has been shown to enhance anaerobicdigestion, but there are severe drawbacks for introducing the metal ion in an anaerobicclosed reactor.Design/methodology/approach: Process for the production of biogas from biodegradablematerial which comprises the steps of: (a) adding the biodegradable material to the Bioreactor,(b) inoculating the microorganisms in the digester,(c) synthesis iron oxides and BSApowder coated on the particles (d) adding a colloidal solution of surface-modified BSA-ironoxide nanoparticles to the reactor; (e) providing anaerobic conditions; (f) carrying out theanaerobic digestion; and (g) collecting the biogas, wherein the steps (a), (b) and (c) can becarried out in any order. It also comprises the use of BSA-iron oxide nanoparticles capableof supplying Fe ions to the media for biogas production in anaerobic conditions and in thepresence of Fe ions in the media.

The interaction of Cu2+, Mn2+ and Ca2+ ions with DNA in aqueous and water-ethanol solutions at different metal ion concentrations was studied by IR-spectroscopy. At sufficiently high DNA concentrations, DNA interaction with Cu2+, Ca2+ and Mn2+ ions results in compacting of DNA in the aqueous solutions. This process shows a very high cooperativity. In the presence of alcohol, DNA condensation takes place at much lower concentrations of metal ions used than in pure aqueous solution. Binding constants and cooperativity of the metal ion binding rise, and the non-monotonous dependencies of the binding degree, r, on the concentration of free metal ions, Cf, become pronounced. Binding isotherms take the S-like form similar to van der Waals isotherms for phase transitions of the liquid-vapour type. Cu2+ and Ca2+ ion binding to DNA in water-ethanol solutions also results in compacting of DNA macromolecule. The process is characterised by a high positive cooperativity and has a phase transition character.

The Impact

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) represent an attractive trend as specific targeting molecules but sustain poor cellular uptake meanwhile superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) offer stability of ASO and improved cellular uptake. In the present work we aimed to functionalize SPIONs with ASO targeting the mRNA of Cyclin B1 which represents a potential cancer target and to explore its anticancer activity. For that purpose, four different SPIONs-ASO conjugates, S-M (1–4), were designated depending on the sequence of ASO and constructed by crosslinking carboxylated SPIONs to amino labeled ASO. The impact of S-M (1–4) on the level of Cyclin B1, cell cycle, ROS and viability of the cells were assessed by flowcytometry. The results showed that S-M3 and S-M4 reduced the level of Cyclin B1 by 35 and 36%, respectively. As a consequence to downregulation of Cyclin B1, MCF7 cells were shown to be arrested at G2/M phase (60.7%). S-M (1–4) led to the induction of ROS formation in comparison to the untreated control cells. Furthermore, S-M (1–4) resulted in an increase in dead cells compared to the untreated cells and SPIONs-treated cells. In conclusion, targeting Cyclin B1 with ASO-coated SPIONs may represent a specific biocompatible anticancer strategy.

The Ferrozinen assay is applied as an accurate and rapid method to quantify the iron content of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and can be used in biological matrices. The addition of ascorbic aqcid accelerates the digestion process and can penetrate an IONP core within a mesoporous and solid silica shell. This new digestion protocol avoids the need for hydrofluoric acid to digest the surrounding silica shell and provides and accessible alternative to inductively coupled plasma methods. With the updated digestion protocol, the quantitative range of the Ferrozine assay is 1 - 14 ppm. <br>
