Methods： Fe2O3 nanoparticles were prepared by improving co-precipitation, which characterization was detected by TEM, XRD, CMIAS, EDS. MTT assay was used to evaluate the in vitro cytotoxicity test; hemolytic test was carried out to estimate whether it has blood toxicity; Fe2O3 suspended in sterile 0.9% NaCl was intraperitoneally injected into Kumning mouse to calculate the LD50 ; micronucleus （MN） were reckoned to identify whether it is genotoxic. Results：The nanoparticles are brown spherical particles with diameter ranging from 8 to 15 nm, which have good decentralization and stability. The experiments also showed that the toxicity of the material on mouse fibroblast （L-929） cell lines was 0 - 1 degree ; it has no hemolysis activity; LD50 arrived at 5.45 g/kg^-1 after intraperitoneal injection of 1 ml suspension; micronucleus test showed that it has no genotoxic effects either. Conclusion： The results showed that the Fe2O3 nanoparticles are prepared successfully, the self-prepared nanosized Fe2O3 is a kind of high biocompatibility materials and perhaps it is suitable for further application in tumor hyperthermia.展开更多

To overcome this constraint, development of artificially aged enriched biochar-mineral complexes(BMCs), having a higher mineral content, surface functionality, exchangeable cations, high concentration of magnetic iron(Fe) nanoparticles, and higher water-extractable organic compounds has been undertaken by a combined team of researchers and a commercial company. Two biochars produced under different pyrolysis conditions were activated with a phosphoric acid treatment. A mixture of clay, chicken litter, and minerals were added to the biochar, and then this composite was torrefied at either 180 or 220?C. In this study a pot experiment was carried out in glasshouse conditions to determine the effects of four different BMCs, with different formulations applied at rates of 100 and 200 kg ha-1, on the mycorrhizal colonisation, wheat growth and nutrient uptake, and soil quality improvement. It was found that the phosphorus(P) and nitrogen uptake in wheat shoots were significantly greater for a low application rate of BMCs(100 kg ha-1). The present formulation of BMC was effective in enhancing growth of wheat at low application rate(100 kg ha-1). The increase in growth appeared due to an increase in P uptake in the plants that could be partly attributed to an increase in mycorrhizal colonisation and partly due to the properties of the BMC.展开更多

This review focuses on the biological detection of magnetic nanoparticles as well as their physicochemical properties. Substantial progress in the sensitivity of detection has been made by developing variety of methods. Five applications of magnetic nanoparticles in biological detection are discussed in this review: magnetic separation, magnetic sensing, magnetic manipulation, magnetic catalysis, and signal enhancer for surface plasmon resonance(SPR).
