In this work, we describe a novel and simple technique to produce non-hydrate surfactant complexes for the formation of highly crystalline fatty acid modified SPIONs by thermolysis of iron oleate (FeOl) complexes in a non-coordinating solvent. FeOl complexes were prepared by direct coordination of iron ions and carboxylic acid; thus, we could control the stoichiometric composition of the precursor by changing the molar ratio of fatty acid and metal ions. The discrete thermal behaviors and chemical coordination of the intermediate non-hydrated FeOl were studied by thermo-analytic techniques including differential scanning calorimetry, thermal gravimetric analysis, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

본 연구에서는 dimethylacetamide(DMAc)와 toluen을 용매로 사용하여 만들어진 양친매성 urethan acrylate nonionomer(UAN) 선구고리를 기초로 하는 양친매성 고분자 망상구조 복합체에 철산화물을 주입시킨 나노복합체의 구조와 자기적성질 그리고 나노복합체에 존재하는 Fe 이온의 원자가 상태를 알아보기 위하여 전계방출주사전자현미경(FESEM)과 X-ray diffraction 그리고 Mossbauer spectrum을 측정하였다. 결과로부터 나노복합체 시료 내에 존재하는 모든 Fe이온은 $Fe^{3+}$의 상태로 존재하고 $Fe_2O_3$의 결정구조를 갖고 있음을 알 수 있으며, 시료 내에 철산화물 나노복합체가 형성되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 urethan acrylate nonionomer(UAN) 선구 고리를 기초로 하는 양친매성 고분자 망상구조 복합체를 형성시키는 경우 용매로 DMAc를 이용하는 경우가 toluen을 이용한 경우 보다 더 미세한 나노구조를 형성함을 알 수 있으며, 시료들의 자기적 성질이 상온에서 상자성을 나타내는 것은 나노크기의 단일자구형성에 따른 초상자성효과에 의한 것임을 알 수 있었다.

The manufacturing process of antibody drugs comprises two main stages: the upstream process for antibody cultivation and the downstream process for antibody extraction. The domestic bio industry has excellent technology for the upstream process. However, it relies on the technology of foreign countries to execute downstream process such as affinity chromatography. Furthermore, there are no domestic companies capable of producing the equipment for affinity chromatography. High gradient magnetic separation technology using a high temperature superconducting magnet as a novel antibody separation and purification technology is introduced to substitute for the traditional technology of affinity chromatography. A specially designed magnetic filter was equipped in the bore of the superconducting magnet enabling the continuous magnetic separation of nano-sized paramagnetic beads that can be used as affinity magnetic nano beads for antibodies. To optimize the magnetic filter that captures superparamagnetic nanoparticles effectively, various shapes and materials were examined for the magnetic filter. The result of magnetic separation experiments show that the maximum separation and recovery ratio of superparamagnetic nanoparticles are 99.2 %, and 99.07 %, respectively under magnetic field (3 T) and flow rate (600 litter/hr).

The ring-opening polymerization of D,L-lactide initiated by tin(II) 2-ethylhexanoate $(Sn(Oct)_2)$ on the surface-initiated magnetite $(Fe_{3}O_4)$ nanoparticles was performed at $130^{\circ}C$. The effects of the polymer molar mass and concentration on the amount of surface polymer were investigated. The number average molecular weights, $M_n$, obtained by both NMR and GPC methods fit well within the accuracy of the applied methods and ranged from 1,100 to $4,040g\;mol^{-1}$. A surface functionalization density of up to 625 initiation sites per particle was obtained. The composition of various core-shell particles was determined by TGA, with results indicating magnetite $(Fe_{3}O_4)$ contents, ${\mu}m$, between 17 and 59 wt%. Under the influence of a magnetic field, the heating generated by superparamagnetic core-shell particles suspended in toluene presented guidelines for an optimization of magnetic particle systems with respect to an application for hyperthermia.

We have developed magnetically controllable gold nanoparticles by synthesizing superparamagnetic $Fe_3O_4$ core/gold shell nanoparticles. The core/shell particles have the capability of forming gold 1D chains in the presence of an external magnetic field. Here we demonstrate dynamic and reversible self-assembly of the gold 1D chain structures in an aqueous solution without any templates or physical or chemical attachment. The spatial configuration of gold chains can be arbitrarily manipulated by controlling the direction of a magnetic field. This technique can provide arbitrary manipulation of gold 1D chains for fabrication purpose. To demonstrate this capability, we present a technique for immobilization of the gold particle chains on a glass substrate.

Spherical nickel ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized using the thermal decomposition method and coated with cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) after the synthesis. Transmission electron microscopy images showed that the average diameter of the particles was 9.40 nm. The status of the CTAB-coating on the surface of the particles was checked using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Their hysteresis curve showed that the particles exhibited a superparamagnetic behavior. The $T_1$ and the $T_2$ relaxations of the nuclear spins were observed in aqueous solutions of the particles with different particles concentrations by using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, which showed that the $T_1$ and the $T_2$ relaxivities of the particles in water were $0.57mM^{-1}{\cdot}s^{-1}$ and $10.42mM^{-1}{\cdot}s^{-1}$, respectively. In addition, using an induction heating system, we evaluated their potentials for magnetic hyperthermia applications. The aqueous solution of the particles with a moderate concentration (smaller than 6.5 mg/mL) showed a saturation temperature larger than the hyperthermia target temperature of $42^{\circ}C$. These findings show that the CTAB-coated nickel ferrite particles are suitable for applications as $T_2$ contrast agents in MRI and heat generators in magnetic hyperthermia.

Iron nanoparticles (Fe-NPs) were synthesized employing Lagenaria siceraria (LS) leaf aqueous extract as a reducing and capping medium to remove methylene blue (MB) dye and have antibacterial properties against G-negative (Escherichia coli) and G-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus). The formation of LS-Fe-NPs (Lagenaria-siceraria-iron-nanoparticles) was confirmed by a change in color from pale yellow to dark brown. Characterization techniques, such as particle size analysis (PSA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were employed to prove nano spherical particles of size range between 80-100 nm. Phytochemicals and the presence of iron in LS-Fe-NPs nanoparticles were proved by UV-visible spectrophotometry. Further, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis results confirmed the existence of bioactive molecules in the plants. The magnetic property was analyzed using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), which displayed that the synthesized nanoparticles were superparamagnetic and exhibiting a saturation magnetization of 12.5 emu/g. Synthesized magnetic nanoparticles were used in methylene blue (MB) dye removal through adsorption. About 83% of 100 mg/L MB dye was removed within 120 min at pH 6 with a maximum adsorption capacity of 246.8 mg/g. Antibacterial efficacy of LS-Fe-NPs was screened against G-negative (Escherichia coli) and G-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), respectively, and found that LS-Fe-NPs were effective against Staphylococcus aureus.

Nanoparticles of $Fe_2O_3$ with a mean particle size of 4-30 nm have been prepared by a pulsed wire evaporation method, and its structural and magnetic properties were studied by SQUID magnetometer and Mossbauer spectroscopy. From the main peak intensity of XRD and absorption rate of Mossbauer spectrum, the amounts of $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ and $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ in as-prepared sample are about 70% and 30%, respectively. The coercivity (53 Oe) and the saturation magnetization (14 emu/g) are about 20% of those of the bulk $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$. The low value of coercivity and saturation magnetization indicate that the $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ phase nearly shows the spin glass-like behavior. Analysis of the set of Mossbauer spectrum indicates a distribution of magnetic hyperfine fields due to the particle size distribution yielding 20 nm of average particle size. The magnetic hyperfine parameters are consistent with values reported of bulk $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ and $alpha-Fe_2O_3$. A quadrupole line on the center of spectrum represents of superparamagnetic phase of $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ with a mean particle size of 7 nm or below.

Objectives: Identification of axillary metastases in breast cancer is important for staging disease and planning treatment, but current techniques are associated with a number of adverse events. This report evaluates the diagnostic accuracy of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques for identification of axillary metastases in breast cancer patients. Methods: We performed a meta-analysis of previous studies that compared SPIO enhanced MRI with histological diagnosis after surgery or biopsy. We searched PubMed, Ovid, Springer Link, and Cochrane library to identify studies reporting data for SPIO enhanced MRI for detection of axillary lymph node metastases in breast cancer until December 2013. The following keywords were used: "magnetic resonance imaging AND axilla" and "superparamagnetic iron oxide AND axilla". Eligible studies were those that compared SPIO enhanced MRI with histological diagnosis. Sensitivity and specificity were calculated for every study; summary receiver operating characteristic and subgroup analyses were done. Study quality and heterogeneity were also assessed. Results: There were 7 publications that met the criteria for inclusion in our meta-analysis. SROC curve analysis for per patient data showed an overall sensitivity of 0.83 (95% Confidence interval (CI): 0.75-0.89) and overall specificity of 0.97 (95% CI: 0.94-0.98). Overall weighted area under the curve was 0.9563. Conclusions: SPIO enhanced MRI showed a trend toward high diagnostic accuracy in detection of lymph node metastases for breast cancer. So, when the breast cancer patients has axillary metastases histologically, SPIO enhanced MRI may be effective diagnostic imaging modality for axillary metastases.
