Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in various industries, including textiles, electronics, and biomedical fields, due to their unique optical, electronic, and antimicrobial properties. However, the extensive use of AgNPs has raised concerns about their potential ecotoxicity and adverse effects on the environment. AgNPs can enter the environment through different pathways, such as wastewater, surface runoff, and soil application and can interact with living organisms through adsorption, ingestion, and accumulation, causing toxicity and harm. The small size, high surface area-to-volume ratio, and ability to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS) make AgNPs particularly toxic. Various bioremediation strategies, such as phytoremediation, have been proposed to mitigate the toxic effects of AgNPs and minimize their impact on the environment. Further research is needed to improve these strategies and ensure their safety and efficacy in different environmental settings.

Silver nanoparticles deposited carbon microspheres nanozyme with enhanced peroxidase-like catalysis for colorimetric detection of Hg 2+ in seafood. Mikrochim Acta 2023; 190:340.

Abstract
Novel methods for high-performance detection of Hg2+ in seafood are critical for ensuring food safety and human health. Herein, Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were successfully deposited on carbon microspheres (CMs) to form Ag NPs-CMs nanocomplex. The proposed Ag NPs-CMs could oxidize colorless 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue oxidation state TMB (oxTMB) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and had a significant UV-vis absorption peak at 652 nm. The excellent peroxidase-like activity was attributed to the increased electrostatic attraction of CMs and the catalytic synergistic effect. After adding Hg2+, the catalytic activity of Ag NPs-CMs was specifically enhanced and the Michaelis-Menten constant (Km) decreased from 0.067 to 0.052 mmol/L due to the formation of Ag-Hg amalgam which produced more superoxide anions (O2•-) and hydroxyl radicals (•OH). The linear response ranges for Hg2+ were 2~833 nmol/L and 2.5~40 μmol/L, with the low detection limit of 1.10 nmol/L. This method was applied to detect Hg2+ in seafood with satisfactory recoveries of 95.65~106.56%. A hydrogel kit was designed for portable detection of Hg2+, and the response range was 0.5~5 μmol/L. This work provides a reliable method for visual Hg2+ detection in seafood as well as a feasible strategy for the design of high-performance nanozymes.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:nano13111752. [PMID: 37299655 DOI: 10.3390/nano13111752] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 05/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Hospitals and nursing home wards are areas prone to the propagation of infections and are of particular concern regarding the spreading of dangerous viruses and multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDRB). MDRB infections comprise approximately 20% of cases in hospitals and nursing homes. Healthcare textiles, such as blankets, are ubiquitous in hospitals and nursing home wards and may be easily shared between patients/users without an adequate pre-cleaning process. Therefore, functionalizing these textiles with antimicrobial properties may considerably reduce the microbial load and prevent the propagation of infections, including MDRB. Blankets are mainly comprised of knitted cotton (CO), polyester (PES), and cotton-polyester (CO-PES). These fabrics were functionalized with novel gold-hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (AuNPs-HAp) that possess antimicrobial properties, due to the presence of the AuNPs' amine and carboxyl groups, and low propensity to display toxicity. For optimal functionalization of the knitted fabrics, two pre-treatments, four different surfactants, and two incorporation processes were evaluated. Furthermore, exhaustion parameters (time and temperature) were subjected to a design of experiments (DoE) optimization. The concentration of AuNPs-HAp in the fabrics and their washing fastness were critical factors assessed through color difference (ΔE). The best performing knitted fabric was half bleached CO, functionalized using a surfactant combination of Imerol® Jet-B (surfactant A) and Luprintol® Emulsifier PE New (surfactant D) through exhaustion at 70 °C for 10 min. This knitted CO displayed antibacterial properties even after 20 washing cycles, showing its potential to be used in comfort textiles within healthcare environments.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have become one of the most popular objects of study for the past few decades. The ability to design AgNPs through different synthetic methods according to the application area and desired features is their advantage in many applications. Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles has become one of the most potential synthesis methods. Because of their strong antibacterial activity, AgNPs have been used in a wide range of applications, such as food packaging and medical products and devices. With the increasing application of AgNPs, it is becoming necessary for a better understanding of the toxicity of AgNPs and their potential mechanism of toxicity. In the review, we first describe the synthetic methods of AgNPs. The application of AgNPs in the field is then briefly described. The toxicity of AgNPs and their potential toxicity mechanisms are discussed.

Abstract
Cancer has become one of the leading causes of death worldwide. It is urgent to develop new antitumor drugs with high efficiency and low toxicity. In this study, an inulin-type fructan CIP70-1 was purified and characterized from chicory and showed weak antitumor activity. To improve its antitumor effects, inulin-based selenium nanoparticles (CIP-SeNPs) were constructed and characterized. CIP-SeNPs were spherical nanoparticles (60 nm), which remained stable in water for more than 3 months. A cellular antitumor assay revealed that CIP-SeNPs had stronger inhibitory effects on cancer cells (MCF-7, A549, and HepG2) than CIP70-1 alone. Furthermore, the in vivo antitumor effects of CIP-SeNPs were confirmed using zebrafish models. The results showed that CIP-SeNPs significantly inhibited the proliferation and migration of tumors as well as the angiogenesis of transgenic zebrafish in the concentration range of 1-4 μg/mL.

Abstract
In this work, a set of experimental electrophoretic mobility (μe) data was used to show how inappropriate selection of the electrokinetic model used to calculate the zeta potential (ζ-potential) can compromise the interpretation of the results for nanoparticles (NPs). The main consequences of using ζ-potential values as criteria to indicate the colloidal stability of NP dispersions are discussed based on DLVO interaction energy predictions. For this, magnetite (Fe3O4) NPs were synthesized and characterized as a model system for performing electrokinetic experiments. The results showed that the Fe3O4 NPs formed mass fractal aggregates in solution, so the ζ-potential could not be determined under ideal conditions when μe depends on the NP radius. In addition, the Dukhin number (Du) estimated from potentiometric titration results indicated that stagnant layer conduction (SLC) could not be neglected for this system. The electrokinetic models that do not consider SLC grossly underestimated the ζ-potential values for the Fe3O4 NPs. The DLVO interaction energy predictions for the colloidal stability of the Fe3O4 NP dispersions also depended on the electrokinetic model used to calculate the ζ-potential. The results obtained for the Fe3O4 NP dispersions also suggested that, contrary to many reports in the literature, high ζ-potential values do not necessarily reflect high colloidal stability for charge-stabilized NP dispersions.

Abstract
of the points of zero charge (PZC) and isoelectric points (IEP) of various materials published in the recent literature and of older results overlooked in the previous compilations. The roles of experimental conditions, especially of the temperature, of the nature and concentration of supporting electrolyte, and of the type of apparatus are emphasized. The newest results are compared with the zero points reported in previous reviews. Most recent studies were carried out with materials whose pH dependent surface charging is already well-documented, and the newest results are consistent with the older literature. Isoelectric points of Gd(OH)3, Sm(OH)3, and TeO2 have been reported for the first time in the recent literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic is requesting highly effective protective personnel equipment, mainly for healthcare professionals. However, the current demand has exceeded the supply chain and, consequently, shortage of essential medical materials, such as surgical masks. Due to these alarming limitations, it is crucial to develop effective means of disinfection, reusing, and thereby applying antimicrobial shielding protection to the clinical supplies. PURPOSE Therefore, in this work, we developed a novel, economical, and straightforward approach to promote antimicrobial activity to surgical masks by impregnating silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). METHODS Our strategy consisted of fabricating a new alcohol disinfectant formulation combining special surfactants and AgNPs, which is demonstrated to be extensively effective against a broad number of microbial surrogates of SARS-CoV-2. RESULTS The present nano-formula reported a superior microbial reduction of 99.999% against a wide number of microorganisms. Furthermore, the enveloped H5N1 virus was wholly inactivated after 15 min of disinfection. Far more attractive, the current method for reusing surgical masks did not show outcomes of detrimental amendments, suggesting that the protocol does not alter the filtration effectiveness. CONCLUSION The nano-disinfectant provides a valuable strategy for effective decontamination, reuse, and even antimicrobial promotion to surgical masks for frontline clinical personnel.
