PEG–poly(amino acid)s-encapsulated tanshinone IIA as potential therapeutics for the treatment of hepatoma

Abstract

PEG–poly(amino acid)s are used as a novel drug carrier for the treatment of hepatoma.

Ni(OH)2 Nanoflakes Supported on 3D Ni3Se2 Nanowire Array as Highly Efficient Electrodes for Asymmetric Supercapacitor and Ni/MH Battery

“…The final color of Ni 3 Se 2 @Ni(OH) 2 was grayish green (Figure S1, Supporting Information), which was in good agreement with the color of Ni(OH) 2 in our previous studies. [29,30] Ion scan spectrometer (ICP) was carried out to investigate the stability of Ni 3 Se 2 during synthesis of Ni(OH) 2 . Ni 3 Se 2 and Ni 3 Se 2 @ Ni(OH) 2 (1 × 1 cm −2 ) electrodes were dissolved into 50 mL concentrated nitric acid separately.…”

TPGS-g-PLGA/Pluronic F68 mixed micelles for tanshinone IIA delivery in cancer therapy

“…However, the clinical application of TAN for anticancer therapy is hindered by its low water-solubility, poor cellular uptake , short half-life, and first pass metabolism (Zhang et al, 2012b;Yu et al, 2007). Many colloidal carriers including polymeric micelles (Wang et al, 2014), emulsions (Chu et al, 2012), micro-emulsions (Ma et al, 2013), and nanoparticles have been used to improve the solubility of TAN. However, the cytotoxicity and bioavailability of TAN still need to be improved.…”

Improved Performance of NILC Poly-Si Nanowire TFTs by Using Ni-Gettering

“…The trap density of GETR NW TFTs is 2.52 × 10 12 cm -2 , which is less than that of NILC NW TFTs (3.95 × 10 12 cm -2 ). Since GETR grains (boundaries) were similar to NILC grains, the reduction in N trap values implies that those Ni-related defects have been reduced using phosphorous-doped Į-Si/chem-SiO 2 gettering structure (11). Besides, as shown in TABLE I, the V TH of the NILC NW TFT is 0.19 V, which is less than that of GETR NW TFT (0.35 V).…”
