Abstract
Nowadays, gold nanoshells are used in targeted nano photothermal cancer therapy. This study surveyed the application of gold nanoshell (GNs) to thermal ablative therapy for melanoma cancer cells and it takes advantage of the near infrared absorption of gold nanoshells. The synthesis and characterization of glycosylated gold nanoshells (GGNs) were done. The cytotoxicity and photothermal effects of GNs on melanoma cells were evaluated using MTT assay and flow cytometry. The characterization data showed that GGNs are spherical, with a hydrodynamic size of 46.7 nm. Results suggest that the cellular uptake of GGNs was about 78%. Viability assays showed no significant toxicity at low concentrations of GNs. The higher heating rate and toxicity of cancer cells were obtained for the cells exposed to 808 nm NIR laser after incubation with GGNs rather than the GNs. The viability of these cells has dramatically decreased by 29%. Furthermore, 61% more cell lethality was achieved for A375 cells using combined photothermal therapy and treatment with GGNs in comparison to NIR radiation alone. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the synthesized gold/silica core-shell nanoparticles conjugated with glucosamine have high potentials to be considered as an efficient metal-nanoshell in the process of targeted cancer photothermal therapy.

Abstract
Cancer detection in early stage using a powerful and noninvasive tool is of high global interest. In this experiment, a small-molecular-weight glucose based derivative of Gd3+-1-(4-isothiocyanatobenzyl) diethylene tri amine penta acetic acid (Gd3+-p-SCN-Bn-DTPA-DG) as a novel potential MR imaging contrast agents was synthesized. Gd3+-p-SCN-Bn-DTPA-DG was synthesized with reacting of Glucosamine and 1-(4-isothiocyanatobenzyl) diethylene triamine penta acetic acid then loaded by gadolinium to make novel agent of functional MR imaging. The relaxivity, T 1, T 2 relaxation times, and cell toxicity of this contrast agent were studied. The results demonstrated that the sugar moieties linked to Gd3+-p-SCN-Bn-DTPA efficiently increase its cellular uptake in normal cells 25% and in cancereous cells upto 67%. The Gd3+-p-SCN-Bn-DTPA-DG significantly (p < 0.05) decreased MCF-7 tumor cell numbers without any significant toxicity on normal human kidney cells. Finally, it displayed an intense signal on T 1 weighted with respect to the unlabeled cells. Based on the findings from the present research Gd3+-p-SCN-Bn-DTPA-DG be a potential breast molecular imaging. However, further investigations by anticancer studies are in the pipeline.

Abstract
PURPOSE Early stage diseases diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques is of high global interest as a potent noninvasive modality. MRI contrast agents are improved through modifications in structural and physicochemical properties of the applied nanoprobes. But, the potential toxic effects of nanoprobes upon exposure to biological systems are still a major concern. PROCEDURE In this study, the acute toxicity of glycosylated Gd3+-based silica mesoporous nanospheres (GSNs) as a MRI contrast agent was evaluated in Balb/c mice. In order to evaluate in vivo toxicity of GSN, preclinical studies, daily weight monitoring, hematological/blood chemistry tests, and histological assessment were conducted. Magnetic resonance relaxivities of GSN was determined using a MRI scanner. RESULTS The obtained results suggest that in vivo toxicity of GSN was mostly influenced by nanoparticle surface area, functionality, and nanoparticle zeta potential. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) increased in the following order: mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) at 1 mg/mice < GSN (aspect ratio 1, 2, 8) at 40 mg/mice. The results also indicate GSN, one of the best cell imaging contrast agent, which does not show any significant toxicity on multiple vital organs following injection of 20 mg/mice, while a significant T1-weighted enhancement was observed in whole body of a Balb/c mice 15 min postinjection of (5 μmol/kg) of body weight of GSN. CONCLUSIONS These results shed light on the functionality of MSNs to minimize in vivo toxicity. Also, glyconanoprobe can be beneficially used for nanomedicine and cellular imaging applications without any significant toxicity.

Abstract
Despite advances in treatment modalities, colon cancer (CC) is the third most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Subsequent unfavorable effects owing to toxicity of conventional drugs are a challenging problem associated with chemotherapy. There is noticeable concern toward site-specific/targeted delivery of chemotherapeutic drugs specifically to the affected site of the colon in a predictable and reproducible manner. However, the biggest challenge in successful drug targeting for the colon is avoidance of drug absorption and/or degradation in the upper gastrointestinal tract before the drug reaches the colon. Nanoparticles endowed with targeting abilities offer a novel approach for site-specific delivery of chemotherapeutic agents. The present review focuses on recent approaches for colon-specific drug delivery (CDDS) and aims to unveil the emerging possibilities and advances in the treatment of CC with CDDS.

Abstract
Luminescent silicon nanoparticles have recently attracted attention due to their remarkable stability, covalent functionalisation and tunable photoemission properties. Owing to their biocompatibility, low toxicity, and the small particle size that can be achieved by different synthetic approaches, these nanomaterials are candidates as cellular probes in the field of bioimaging, and potentially for in vivo applications. Tailoring the surface of the particles with active biomolecules such as sugar moieties can be an interesting strategy to increase the kinetics of internalisation or to vary the localisation of nanosystems in living cells. In this study, we synthesised and modified ultrasmall silicon nanoparticles with glucose covalently linked on their surface. Moreover, by varying the ratio between the amount of silicon nanoparticles and the saccharide groups, the amount of glucose, as a capping moiety, can be well controlled. FTIR spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, zeta potential measurements and anisotropy decay analysis confirmed the covalent binding of glucose to the nanoparticles. The photophysical behaviour of the surface-functionalised silicon quantum dots was not significantly different to that of the unmodified nanoparticles. In vitro studies demonstrated faster internalisation of the glucose-functionalised nanoparticles into HeLa cells. Different localisation and uptake kinetics of the glucose-modified particles compared to the unmodified particles are discussed in order to reveal the role played by the sugar molecules.

Abstract
PURPOSE Early stage prostate cancer diagnosis is of high global interest. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive modality for early cancer diagnosis, in particular for prostate cancer detection. The research aim is to synthesize a nanodendrimer and its conjugate with C595 monoclonal antibody (mAb C595), against prostate cancer, followed by its chelating with Gd(3+). PROCEDURES Anti-MUC-1 mAb C595 was conjugated to an anionic linear globular dendrimer (ALGDG2). The polyethylene glycol core and citric acid shell were synthesized followed by loading with Gd(3+) to make novel contrast agents for functional MRI. The in vitro behavior and MRI parameters of the nanoconjugate were investigated performing several studies such as cell toxicity and TNF-alpha evaluations. The investigation of magnetic resonance imaging parameters indicated how well nanoconjugate performs in (1)H-NMR and (17)O-NMR in vitro. RESULTS Results showed a potential specific MRI activity by improving the swelling responses cell binding. The MTT (2-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-3,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide) assay demonstrated that this contrast agent had significant cytotoxicity on prostate cancer cells. CONCLUSIONS These results showed that Gd(3+)-ALGDG2-C595 is a potential prostate molecular imaging agent and could be considered as an ideal functional nanoprobe. Additionally, further investigations by clinical trials are in the pipeline.
