A proteomic approach to investigate AuNPs effects in Balb/3T3 cells

Although gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are currently used in several industrial products and biomedical applications, information about their biological effects is very limited. Thus, it is becoming crucial to assess their safety and adequately investigate the complexity of cell–nanoparticles interactions. In this work, the Balb/3T3 mouse fibroblast cell line was selected as an in vitro model to study the effects of AuNPs. Alteration of cellular processes and biochemical pathways caused by AuNPs exposure was investigated by analysing the differentially expressed proteome. Of interest was the difference observed in the protein pattern expression of cells exposed to AuNPs. It was found that 88 and 83 proteins were de-regulated after exposure to 5 and 15 nm AuNPs, respectively. Analysis of the proteome revealed that AuNPs triggers several pathways related to cellular growth and proliferation, cell morphology, cell cycle regulation, cellular function and maintenance, oxidative stress, and inflammatory response. Moreover, SPR analysis showed an increase of ECM proteins biosynthesis in cells exposed to AuNPs. We observed by TEM analysis that NPs are internalized and confined mainly in autophagosomes. Endoplasmic reticulum stressed and modification at mitochondrial level occurred. This study aims to improve existing knowledge necessary for a correct assessment of the balance between AuNPs potential adverse and beneficial effects and might have important implications for biomedical applications (e.g. nanomedicine).     

Nanoporous gold particles modified titanium electrode for hydrazine oxidation

A nanoporous gold particles modified titanium electrode (Au/Ti) was prepared by using a hydrothermal method. Gold nanoparticles were stably immobilized on the Ti surface from a mixture of aqueous HAuCl₄/polyethylene glycol (PEG) to form a nanoporous network texture. Electrocatalytic activity of the Au/Ti towards hydrazine oxidation in 1 M NaOH solution was assessed utilizing cyclic voltammetry (CV), linear scanning voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). At the Au/Ti electrode, hydrazine oxidation in 1 M NaOH took place at a potential of −0.55 V (vs. Ag, AgCl) which was 0.53 V less than polycrystalline Au electrode. The Au/Ti electrode also presented much larger current density of hydrazine oxidation than Au electrode. Cyclic voltammetric responses of the Au/Ti electrode showed an irreversible electro-oxidation process of hydrazine. Linear plots of the reduction peak current density from the CVs of the Au/Ti vs. hydrazine concentration provided a potential detection of low concentration hydrazine. The kinetic parameters such as the number of electrons transferred in rate-determining step and total numbers of electrons involved in the hydrazine oxidation were determined using CVs and LSVs. CVs at the Au/Ti electrode also illustrated (relatively) weak interactions of hydrazine with electrode surface at all stages of the hydrazine oxidation process. Further, EIS data showed significantly high electrocatalytic activity of the Au/Ti electrode for hydrazine oxidation in alkaline solutions.     

Application of HPLC mixed‐mode chromatography in determining radiochemical purity of [14C] labeled metformin hydrochloride

Metformin is currently prescribed worldwide to treat type 2 diabetes, and therefore, radiolabeled [¹⁴C] metformin is often prepared for clinical comparisons of new drug candidates. Prior to using the radiolabeled metformin, the purity needs to be determined to ensure the quality of the material. While typical reversed‐phase LC methods are often the first choice for purity analysis, they are not suitable for this determination because the compound is poorly retained under these conditions. Mixed‐mode chromatography has been demonstrated to overcome these retention issues, and therefore, this methodology was utilized for the purity determination of radiolabeled metformin.

Usefulness of intravenous propranolol in predicting left anterior descending blood flow during anterior myocardial infarction

The effect of propranolol on precordial ST-segment elevation was studied in 24 patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction. The electrocardiographic response to the drug was correlated with the early angiographic appearance of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). After a 30-minute observation period, intravenous propranolol (average dose 3.5 +/- 2.2 mg) was given a mean of 2.8 +/- 1.9 hours after the onset of persistent chest pain. Coronary angiography was performed 3.6 +/- 2.0 hours after the onset of symptoms. Patients were classified into 2 groups according to the angiographic findings. Group A consisted of 7 patients with a stenotic but patent LAD and 1 patient with excellent collateral blood flow to that area. Group B consisted of 16 patients with a completely occluded LAD and poor or absent collateral blood flow. Patients in group A showed a mean reduction in precordial ST-segment elevation of 77 +/- 18% and patients in group B showed a mean reduction of 13 +/- 14% (p less than 0.005). Left ventricular ejection fraction at discharge was 0.6 +/- 0.07 in group A and 0.37 +/- 0.08 in group B (p less than 0.001). Thus, the electrocardiographic response to intravenous propranolol given early in the course of acute anterior myocardial infarction predicts the presence of blood flow to the infarcting zone. The combination of residual blood flow and reduction of ST-segment elevation secondary to propranolol is associated with preservation of ventricular function.     

In vitro investigations on retention force behavior of conventional and modern double crown systems

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effects of long-term use on the retention force and wear behavior of double crown systems.MethodsBased on a common double crown design sixty pairs of telescopic crowns were fabricated and divided into six groups, each consisting ten samples: “Gold standard” cast gold alloy primary and secondary crown (GG) and cast non-precious alloy (NN), computer-aided design (CAD)/computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)-milled zirconia primary crown and galvanoformed secondary crown (ZG), CAD/CAM-milled non-precious alloy primary and secondary crown (CC NN), CAD/CAM-milled zirconia primary crown and non-precious alloy secondary crown (CC ZN) and CAD/CAM-milled zirconia primary crown and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) secondary crown (CC ZP). In the constant presence of artificial saliva, all samples were subjected to 10,000 joining-separation cycles at a velocity of 120 mm/min. Wear was analyzed by reflected light microscopy and confocal microscopy before and after artificial aging.ResultsRetention force losses were observed in each group after long-term use, with significant losses in the groups ZG and CC ZP (p_ZG = 0.01, p_{CC ZP} = 0.049). During artificial aging, no significant differences in pull-off force were recorded for groups GG, NN and CC ZN. Regarding wear, merely the Y-TZP primary crowns of the CC ZP group displayed no surface changes.SignificanceAll tested production methods and material combinations seem to be suitable for clinical practice. CAD/CAM technology allows similarly predictable results to be achieved as the gold standard. Confocal microscopy is recommended for surface examinations of double crowns.
