    Curcumin, which is derived from the turmeric rhizomes (curcuma longa) as a natural polyphenol, is a substantially lipophilic molecule. This commonly used substance is employed as a spice and coloring agent in food and contains potent antioxidant, as well as anti-inflammatory, and anti-proliferative tumor activities. The developed nanomicelle formulations of curcumin are used to promote the bio-availability and solubility of the above-mentioned lipophilic molecule. The present investigation aimed to examine the anti-proliferative activity of nanomicelle and free curcuminoids by using different cancer and normal cells using a tetrazolium dye-based assay. To this end, various cell lines were treated with nanomicelle or free curcuminoids at different concentration of 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 µM for 48 h at 37 ºC. Our results demonstrated that the half maximal inhibitory concentrations of the micellar form of curcuminoids for different cancer cell lines were as high as its levels measured for its free form but in normal cells, the toxicity of nanomicelles is lower than free form of curcuminoids.

    The use of nanoparticles (NPs) has been extended to many fields such as agriculture, food industry, medicine and biotechnological fields. Thereby, human exposure to NPs consequently increases. Therefore, there is a concern about the potential biological effects and toxicity of NPs for humans and the environment. This study aimed to investigate the cytotoxicity effects of magnesium oxide (MgO) and silica (SiO2) NPs on human colon adenocarcinoma (HT-29) after 24 hours of exposure. In this study, cytotoxicity of MgO and SiO2 NPs was evaluated using MTT assay after 24 hours of MgO (50 nm) and SiO2 (90-110 nm) NPs exposure at doses of 25-200 µg/ml. Moreover, to assess the rate of cell apoptosis, cells were stained with ethidium bromide/acridine orange stain. The staining was examined under a fluorescent microscope. The exposure of HT29 cells to SiO2 and MgO NPs increased cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner. Also, these results showed a significant increase in apoptosis induction in treated groups with MgO and SiO2 NPs. These results showed that SiO2 and MgO NPs can cause cytotoxicity in HT29 cells and it is better to avoid using them in food stuff and food packaging ingredients.

    In this research, a novel method is reported for the surface grafting of n-vinylcaprolactam as a thermosensitive agent and 3-allyloxy-1,2-propandiol with an affinity toward ceftriaxone onto modified magnetic nanoparticles by 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane. The grafted nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Elemental Analysis, and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer. The surface morphology was studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy. The resulting grafted nanoparticles were used for determining trace ceftriaxone in biological human fluids. The profile of ceftriaxone uptake by the modified magnetic nanoparticles indicated good accessibility of the active sites in the grafted copolymer. It was found that the adsorption behavior could be fitted by the Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Solid phase extraction for biological fluids such as urine and serum were also investigated. In this study, a urine extraction recovery of more than 95% was obtained. Overall, magnetic nanoparticles coated with sensitive polymer have proved to enjoy unique properties in biotechnology and drug delivery research.

    Treatments of tetrazolate salts, malononitrile and sodium azide using NiO nanoparticles with benzyl bromide gave the corresponding 1,5- and 2,5-disubstituted tetrazoles. Reaction of tetrazolate salts with 2,4′-dibromoacetophenone by NiO nanoparticles provided 2,5-disubstituted derivatives as an only isomer. The structures of tetrazoles were characterized by 1 H and 13C NMR spectra, FT-IR spectra, MS and elemental analysis. Use of simple and readily accessible starting materials, excellent yields, reusability of the catalyst, short reaction times, low amount of catalyst are some advantages of this protocol. Their antimicrobial activity has been tested in vitro against Gram positive bacteria; Gram negative bacteria and fungi. Four compounds have only moderate growth inhibitory effects against Gram positive bacteria. The antimicrobial screening suggests that compounds 5h; 6h; 5g and 6g have only medium growth inhibitory effects against Gram positive bacteria. Among the newly synthesized compounds; good antimicrobial activity was observed for compound 6g against Staphylococcus epidermidis (MIC value 125 µg/ml).

    Introduction
    The Co-word analysis has the ability to identify the intellectual structure of knowledge ‎in a research domain and reveal its subsurface research aspects.‎
    Objective
    This study examines the intellectual structure of knowledge in the field of nanomedicine ‎during the period of 2009 to 2018 by using Co-word analysis.‎
    Materials and Methods
    This paper develops a scientometric approach about nanomedicine over a data ‎set of 2,798 documents published over a period of 10 years (2009–2018) on PubMed databases. The ‎data was analyzed using co-word, clustering methods and strategic diagram assisted by SPSS, Ucinet, ‎and VOS viewer software.‎
    Result
    The top journal that published papers on the field was Nanomedicine (London, England). The ‎results showed that the keyword "nanoparticles" and two pairs of frequently-used keywords namely ‎‏"‏Drug delivery systems ‎‏*‏‎ Nanoparticles‏"‏‎ were the most frequent in the field of nanomedicine. ‎Application of hierarchical clustering led to the formation of 9 clusters. The cluster "Drug Delivery ‎System (emphasis on cancer)" is the core cluster and plays an effective role. The other clusters like ‎‎"Nano diagnostic", "Drug design" and "Renovated Medicine" are in marginal.‎
    Conclusion
    This study represented that Co-Word analysis can well illustrate the intellectual structure ‎of an area. The frequency of keywords as well as formed clusters demonstrate that the majority of ‎research approaches include Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology. Despite the importance of other aspects ‎as well as Nanosafety/ nanotoxicology and new medical products and equipment such as nanorobots ‎have not been considered.‎ ‎

    Objectives
    Cardiotoxicity is considered the primary cause of death in aluminum phosphide (ALP)-poisoned cases. Curcumin, the active ingredient of turmeric, is a potent protective polyphenol compound against cardiac diseases including cardiotoxicity. This study aimed to examine the probable cardioprotection potential of nanocurcumin in a rat model of ALP-induced cardiotoxicity.
    Methods
    The rats were orally intoxicated with ALP (12 mg/kg, p.o.; 1/4 LD50). In treatment groups, curcumin (50 mg/kg, i.p.) and nanocurcumin (10, 20 and 50 mg/kg, i.p.) were administered intraperitoneally 30 min following ALP administration. Twenty four hrs subsequent to ALP intoxication, the hearts were dissected out for evaluation of oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation (LPO) markers such as thiol, reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) levels, malondialdehyde (MDA) and the ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP).
    Findings
    In fact, ALP increased MDA as well as ROS and SOD levels. On the other hand, ALP significantly lowered thiol, GHS and FRAP markers. In contrast, nanocurcumin successfully could reverse the increases in MDA as well as SOD, ROS and GSH. Simultaneously, it significantly enhanced thiol, GHS and FRAP markers. Moreover, curcumin markedly lowered MDA, ROS and SOD levels while increased thiol and GSH contents.
    Conclusion
    Overall, the present data demonstrated the cardio-protective effects of nanocurcumin in this model of cardiotixicity. Further, it suggested that this cardioprotecton is probably mediated by the ability of nanocurcumin to confront the oxidative stress and LPO resulting from ALP intoxication of the heart tissue. Key words: Nanocurcumin; aluminum phosphide; cardiotoxicity; oxidative stress; rat.
