Micelles and nanoparticles for ultrasonic drug and gene delivery
(Elsevier, 2008)
Drug delivery research employing micelles and nanoparticles has expanded in recent years. Of particular interest is the use of these nanovehicles that deliver high concentrations of cytotoxic drugs to diseased tissues ...
Over-Pressure Suppresses Ultrasonic-Induced Drug Uptake
(Elseviser, 2008)
Ultrasound (US) is used to enhance and target delivery of drugs and genes to cancer tissues. The present study further examines the role of acoustic cavitation in US-induced permeabilization of cell membranes and subsequent ...
The Comet Assay to Determine the Mode of Cell Death for the Ultrasonic Delivery of Doxorubicin to Human Leukemia (HL-60 Cells) from Pluronic P105 Micelles
(Adenine Press, 2005)
This notes examines the mode of cell death of HL-60 cells exposed to 70 kHz and 1.3 W/cm2 ultrasound in the presence of 1% Pluronic P105 and 1.67 μg/ml doxorubicin (Dox). The cells were ultrasonicated for 30, 60, and 120 ...
Alkyl Monolayers on Silica Surfaces Prepared from Neat, Heated ClSi(CH₃)₂(CH₂)₁₇CH₃ Analyzed by XPS
(American Vacuum Society, 2002)
Silane monolayers on silica, prepared from mono-, di- and trichlorosilanes, are widely used in industry for surface functionalization and modification. However, unlike di- and trichlorosilanes, monochlorosilanes are ...
Analysis of 7,13-Bis((8-hydroxy-2-quinolinyl)methyl)-1,4-dimethyl-1,4,7,13-tetraaza-10-thiacyclopentadecane by XPS
(American Vacuum Society, 2004)
Highly toxic metals abound in the environment as a result of pollution. Macrocyclic ligands have been designed that are selective in binding certain toxic metals. This allows for a sensitive means of detecting these poisonous ...
Ultrasonic-Activated Micellar Drug Delivery for Cancer Treatment
(Wiley InterSciences, 2008)
The use of nanoparticles and ultrasound in medicine continues to evolve. Great strides have been made in the areas of producing micelles, nanoemulsions, and solid nanoparticles that can be used in drug delivery. An effective ...
Analysis of Sunflower Shells by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy
(American Vacuum Society, 2005)
Determining the chemical structure and composition of biomass fuels using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) can provide fundamental knowledge of their structures that is useful in understanding and predicting their ...
Ultrasound in drug and gene delivery
(Elsevier, 2008)
In this issue, we present the current applications and future prospects of ultrasound in various aspects of drug and gene delivery. There are many advantages to ultrasound that make it ideal for the delivery of therapeutics ...
Public sector HRM reform: a multi-nation perspective
(International Human Resource Management Conference, 2009)
The objective of this research is to describe and discuss trends in HRM practice as they have emerged in public sector organizations undertaking new management reforms over the last two decades. To do this, we reviewed ...
Effect of culture of origin on the adjustment process
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2006)
This paper is a synthesis of the author’s doctoral work on the impact of culture of origin on the three facets of expatriates' adjustment (work, interaction and general) and their antecedents (Waxin, 2000, 2003; Waxin ...
