Abstract
Fe2O3 nanoparticles (NPs) have been synthesized and functionalized with SiO2 and -NH2 group, respectively. Conjugation to fluorescently-labeled poly-caspase inhibitor (SR-FLIVO) has been carried out for better cellular uptake studies of apoptosis arising from brain focal cerebral ischemia. Highest conjugation affinity to SR-FLIVO was found to be ca. 80% for Fe2O3-SiO-NH2 functionalized nanoparticles (FNPs). Tracking of SR-FLIVO conjugated functionalized nanoparticles (SR-FLIVO-FNPs) in vivo and in vitro has been carried out and detected using microscopic techniques after histochemical staining methods. Experimental results revealed that SR-FLIVO-FNPs probe could passively cross the blood brain barrier (BBB) and accumulated within the apoptotic cell. Optimization of SR-FLIVO-FNPs probe can effectively promise to open a new era for intracellular drug delivery and brain diagnosis.

Abstract
Voltammetric studies on the simple ion transfer (IT) behaviors of an important water-soluble B-vitamin, folic acid (FA), at the liquid–liquid (L–L) interface were firstly performed and applied as a novel detection method for FA under physiological conditions. This work provides a new and attractive strategy for the detection of FA− and other biological anions.

Abstract
The synthesis of nanoporous membranes based on different concepts and materials is a field of active research. This review focuses on the synthesis strategies, mesophase evolution mechanisms and potential applications of mesoporous materials confined within anodic alumina membranes (AAM). Following a rapid evolution of synthetic techniques, a significant number of different mesoporous materials (e.g., silica, titania, and carbon) with highly regular structures can now be prepared within these membranes. In recent years, efforts have also been made to understand the formation mechanisms of these hierarchical mesophases. The resulting organized nanoporous membranes open up a wide range of potential applications in fields such as templating oriented nanowires and controlled separation and release of molecules. For example, while various synthesis strategies can be used for the preparation of membrane-embedded nanowires, the latter can also be obtained as isolated objects after dissolution of the alumina host matrix. The review also discusses issues such as control of structural defects or integrity of interfaces that should be addressed in future research in order to fully exploit the potential of these hierarchical mesoporous channel structures.

Abstract
The local environments surrounding dye molecules were studied with use of coumarin dyes in a mesostructured silica-surfactant nanocomposite, which was formed in a porous alumina membrane by a surfactant-templated method and has an average pore diameter of 3.4 nm. Coumarin dyes, such as coumarin 480 (C480), coumarin 343 (C343), and propylamide coumarin 343 (PAC343), were extracted into the silica-surfactant nanocomposite and time-resolved fluorescence spectra of these dyes were examined. C480 and C343 show slow dynamic Stokes shifts and the decay curve can be fitted by a biexponential function. The decay-time constants obtained from the fitting are almost identical for C480 and C343: 0.87 and 7.5 ns for C480, and 0.86 and 7.6 ns for C343. In contrast to these two coumarin dyes, short decay-time constants (0.50 and 4.8 ns) were obtained for PAC343 in the silica-surfactant nanocomposite. These results indicate that the local environments of C480 and C343 are almost identical but different from that of PAC343. By considering the origin of the dynamic Stokes shift and the mesostructure of the silica-surfactant nanocomposite, the location and microenvironment of coumarin dyes within the silica-surfactant nanocomposite are discussed.

Abstract
The permeation fluxes of phenol, benzene sulfonate (BS) and benzene disulfonate (BDS) through a porous anodic alumina membrane with the perpendicularly oriented silica-surfactant nanochannel assembly membrane (NAM) were measured in water-ethanol mixture media. The permeation flux depended on solute charges and on solvent composition. As the ethanol ratio increased, the fluxes of BS and BDS increased and the flux of phenol decreased. The results of extraction/elution experiments also depended on the solute charges and the solvent composition. Chromatographic experiments in n-hexane showed that dipole and hydrophobic interactions affect the retention of solutes. Permeation of the solute across the NAM in water-ethanol mixture is likely to be determined by various factors such as dipole interaction, hydrophobic interaction, solvation, and anion-exchange efficiencies.

Abstract
The apparent diffusion coefficients of tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium ([Ru(bpy(3))](2+)) are estimated in silica-nanochannels which are assembled inside columnar alumina pores in an anodic alumina membrane, and are modified with alkylsilanes such as trimethylchlorosilane (C1), butyldimethylchlorosilane (C4), and dodecyldimethylchlorosilane (C12). The estimation is performed by observing the lag-time, which is defined as the time required for [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) to diffuse through alkylsilane-modified silica-nanochannels in the alumina membrane. When ethanol is used as a solvent, the apparent diffusion coefficients of [Ru(bpy)(3)](2+) are estimated as 2.1 x 10(-10) and 3.2 x 10(-10) cm(2) s(-1) in the C1- and C4-modified silica-nanochannels, respectively. These values are about 10(4) times smaller than that obtained in bulk ethanol. Based on the experimental results on the solvent dependency of the lag-time, the hydrogen-bonding interaction between ethanol molecules is considered to be stronger in the C1- and C4-modified silica-nanochannels than in bulk ethanol, and the hydrogen-bonding interaction plays a critical role for the slow diffusivity in those nanochannels. In contrast, the apparent diffusion coefficient in the C12-modified silica-nanochannel is at least two orders of magnitude larger than those in the C1- and C4-modified silica-nanochannels. This relatively fast diffusion is most likely explained by the presence of a long alkyl chain of C12, which reduces a hindrance effect that is originates in the hydrogen-bonding interaction.
