oleic acid/fever

In the present study, oleic acid (OA) functionalized Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MN) were synthesized following modified wet method of MN synthesis. The optimum amount of OA required for capping of MN and the amount of bound and unbound/free OA was determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

Magnetic hyperthermia, in which magnetic nanoparticles are introduced into tumors and exposed to an alternating magnetic field (AMF), appears to be promising since it can lead to increased life expectancy in patients. Its efficacy can be further improved by using biocompatible iron oxide magnetosome

BACKGROUND The objective of the investigation was to explore in a prospective study the associations between dietary intake of fatty acids, antioxidants and hay fever manifestation in adulthood. METHODS Three hundred and thirty-four hay fever cases with adult onset of clinical symptoms from the

The interference of hyperthermia and ionizing radiation, respectively, with the effects of capric (10:0), lauric (12:0), myristic (14:0), oleic (cis-18:1) and elaidic (trans-18:1) acids on the osmotic resistance of human erythrocytes was investigated. The results are summarized as follows: (A) not

The temperature dependence of oleic acid-enhanced halothane- induced Ca2+ release and the existence of a reduced threshold of Ca(2+)-induced Ca2+ release were examined to determine their roles in human malignant hyperthermia. Halothane (8-11 mM) induced Ca2+ release from terminal

Core-shell structures with magnetic core and metal/polymer shell provide a new opportunity for constructing highly efficient mediator for magnetic fluid hyperthermia. Herein, a facile method is described for the synthesis of superparamagnetic LSMO@Pluronic F127 core-shell nanoparticles. Initially,

Malignant hyperthermia is caused by an abnormal increase in Ca2+ levels in skeletal muscle in response to anesthetics, including halothane. Since fatty acid production is elevated in skeletal muscle from individuals with malignant hyperthermia, the effects of fatty acids on the threshold of

Biomedical magnetic colloids commonly used in magnetic hyperthermia experiments often display a bidisperse structure, i.e., are composed of stable nanoclusters coexisting with well-dispersed nanoparticles. However, the influence of nanoclusters in the optimization of colloids for heat dissipation is

Precise delivery of antineoplastic drugs to specific tumor region has drawn much attention in recent years. Herein, a light/magnetic hyperthermia triggered drug delivery with multiple functionality is designed based on methotrexate (MTX) modified thermo-sensitive magnetoliposomes (MTX-MagTSLs). In

The dietary intake of certain fatty acids might contribute to the development of allergic diseases such as hay fever and asthma. We investigated the association between the concentrations of fifteen fatty acids in serum phospholipids, as a marker of dietary intake and metabolism, and hay fever,

OBJECTIVE We have evaluated the hyperthermia efficacy of oleic acid-functionalised Fe(3)O(4) magnetic nanoparticles (MN-OA) under in vivo conditions and elucidated the underlying mechanism of tumour growth inhibition. METHODS The efficacy and mechanism of tumour growth inhibition by MN-OA-mediated

Homogenates of semitendinosus muscle from malignant hyperthermia (MH)-susceptible pigs produced threefold more pentane than those from MH-resistant pigs, indicating enhanced free radical-mediated peroxidation of n-6 fatty acids. This did not reflect a deficiency in tissue antioxidants or

Combined antitumour effects of mono- or diacyl ascorbates and heat treatment were studied in comparison with the parent compound, L-ascorbic acid (AsA). At 37 degrees C, 75 microM 6-O-palmitoyl (6P) and 6-O-stearoyl (6S) ascorbates appreciably inhibited DNA synthesis in Ehrlich ascites tumour cells.

Magnetic core/shell nanostructures of Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with oleic acid and betaine-HCl were studied for their possible use in magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH). Their colloidal stability and heat induction ability were studied in different media viz. phosphate buffer solution (PBS), saline

We investigated the efficacy of hyperthermia and gamma-linolenic acid on experimental carcinoma. This study focused on polyunsaturated fatty acids that are substrates for free radical reactions. Oleic acid, linolenic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, or gamma-linolenic acid was injected into the arteries
