Preparation of Ni-Mn ferrites magnetic nanoparticles through the ethanol solution combustion-calcination process for the adsorption of methyl blue.

Ni-Mn ferrites magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were successfully prepared through the ethanol solution combustion-calcination process, and characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, VSM, BET, and FTIR techniques. For smaller particle size and suitable magnetic property, the optimum element ratio of the material was Ni0.9Mn0.

Enhanced cancer therapy using modified magnetic α-FeO/FeOnanorods: Dual role in curcumin delivery and ferroptosis induction.

Curcumin (CUR) has gained considerable attention in oncology due to its potent anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. However, its clinical utility was significantly hindered by low bioavailability and rapid metabolic degradation. This work designed a magnetic α-FeO/FeO heterogeneous nanorod prepared via a urea hydrolysis-calcination process for curcumin delivery.

XRCC1 and hOGG1 polymorphisms and endometrial carcinoma: A meta-analysis.

Endometrial carcinoma's (EC) etiology is complex and involves DNA repair gene polymorphisms like XRCC1-Arg399Gln and hOGG1-Ser326Cys, but their association with the disease is unclear. Following PRISMA, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis, collecting data from four databases. The studies needed to be population-based case-control studies examining the association between the named polymorphisms and EC.

Inhibiting LCN2 can suppress the development of NSCLC by promoting ferroptosis.

Background: Tumor progression is intricately linked to ferroptosis, a recently discovered form of regulated cell death. However, the specific causes of ferroptosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain unclear.

Methods: In this study, we conducted transcriptome sequencing on NSCLC samples and identified Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) as a significantly differentially expressed gene associated with ferroptosis in NSCLC.

Relationship between positive margin and residual/recurrence after excision of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The relationship between endocervical and ectocervical margin status and residual or recurrence after cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) resection has been controversial. We investigated the relationship between the excision margins and residual/recurrence to assess indicators for the scope of resection and the risk of treatment failure by using meta-analysis.

Methods: Literature searches were performed in PubMed, Medline, Embase, Central, Wangfang and CNKI databases.

RNF168 suppresses the cancer stem cell-like traits of nonsmall cell lung cancer cells by mediating RhoC ubiquitination.

The critical roles of E3 ubiquitin ligase RNF168 have been widely revealed in various tumors, however, its roles in lung cancer progression are still confusing. Here, we found that RNF168 expression is positively correlated with the overall survival, first-progression survival, and postprogression survival of lung adenocarcinoma, but not correlated with these survivals of squamous cell carcinoma of lung. Furthermore, it was shown that RNF168 mRNA expression is lowly expressed in lung adenocarcinoma tissues, but highly expressed in squamous cell carcinoma of lung.

Covalent Immobilization of Cellulase onto Amino and Graphene Oxide Functionalized Magnetic Fe₂O₃/Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ Nanocomposites.

Magnetic Fe₂O3/Fe₃O4@SiO₂ nanocomposites were prepared via the citric-alcohol solution combustion process. The obtained nanocomposites were characterized with SEM, XRD, VSM, TEM, EDS, HRTEM, and FTIR techniques. The results revealed that the magnetic Fe₂O₃/Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ nanocomposites were successfully obtained with the average grain size of 87 nm and the saturation magnetization of 36 emu/g.
