Download or read book Challenges in Characterizing Small Particles written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-04-02 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small particles are ubiquitous in the natural and built worlds and have tremendous impact throughout. However, a lack of understanding about the properties and chemical composition of small particles limits our ability to predict, and control their applications and impacts. Challenges in Characterizing Small Particles: Exploring Particles from the Nano- to Microscales summarizes presentations and discussions at a 2010 National Academies roundtable. Speakers at this roundtable discussed the crucial types of information that need to be determined about small particles in different media. They also explored the critical importance of small particles in environmental science, materials and chemical sciences, biological science, and engineering, and the many challenges involved in characterizing materials at the nano- and microscales. The discussions on characterization included static, dynamic, experimental, computational, and theoretical characterization. The workshop also included several "research tool" presentations that highlighted new advances in characterizing small particles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhalation of airborne particulate (PM) matter has been epidemiologically correlated to numerous cardiopulmonary morbidities and mortalities, particularly in susceptible populations such as asthmatics and children. To date, PM has been classified by size by the scientific and regulatory communities. PM10 is the designation for particles less than 10 micrometers in diameter and PM2.5 for particles less than 2.5 micrometers. Particles smaller than 100 nanometers, or nanoparticles, are of special interest. Nanoparticles have unique properties that distinguish them from lager particles, including their behavior in air and their interaction with biological organisms. Nanoparticles can form from natural sources or as the byproduct of human activity. Additionally, specific engineered nanoparticle are being manufactured for use in electronics, textiles, personal care products and medicine. The increasing use of nanoparticles has raised concerns over possible health effects. Age differences in nanoparticle deposited dose, key to associating exposure to physiologic effect, is poorly understood. Silver nanoparticles are widely used for their antimicrobial activity. Exposure to aerosolized silver nanoparticles in the workplace has been documented. While many characteristics of silver nanoparticles are known, their retention and clearance is poorly understood. It is believed that particle surface coating and size can affect the clearance of silver nanoparticles from the lung. First, we examined the spatial and temporal pattern of clearance for particles of two sizes, 20 and 110nm, and two surface coatings, citrate and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), four particle types in total, by instilling the nanoparticles into the lungs of rats. We then studied two sizes of selected one of the coating types, citrate, and performed an inhalation study to study how the mode of delivery influences silver particle clearance. Finally, to examine age differences in nanoparticle deposition, we used a europium doped gadolinium oxide nanoparticle as a surrogate for ambient nanoparticles and exposed by inhalation 1, 3 and 12 week old rats. We found the instilled PVP coated particles of both sizes had significantly greater clearance by 21 days compared to the citrate coated particles. We also found the terminal bronchiolar alveolar duct junction region of the lung the location with greatest retention. In rats exposed to aerosolized citrate coated silver nanoparticles, we saw a greater silver burden in the macrophages of the 20nm exposed animals. We also saw that approximately of the 30% initial silver dose remained in the lungs at 56 days for both particles. Finally, when we examine the age difference of nanoparticle deposition in three ages of rats, the 3 week old rats received the greatest dose of particles and that 1 week old rats had significantly lower deposition compared to older animals.

Download or read book Nanocarriers for Organ Specific and Localized Drug Delivery written by Muhammad Raza Shah and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2022-04-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organ-specific drug delivery is aimed at achieving increased concentration of therapeutic molecules at target sites with minimum side effects on other healthy tissues. Similarly, drug-specific delivery to some vital organs, such as the brain, lungs, heart and kidneys remains a challenging task for the formulation scientists. Oral delivery of most of the commercially available life-saving drugs has also been impeded by various physio-chemical and biological barriers. These advancements in nanotechnology have led to the development of various pharmaceutical nanocarriers.Nanocarriers for Organ-Specific and Localized Drug Delivery summarizes targeted drug delivery systems and approaches to the major organs of the body. The book shows how drugs can be specifically targeted to the pathological area within an organ in a viable way. Employing pharmaceutical nanocarriers for drug delivery targeted to specific organs of the body requires a comprehensive knowledge of the disease site’s pathophysiology as well as physical, chemical and pharmaceutical techniques for modification or functionalization of the nanocarriers.Combining theoretical principles and practical applications of various nanocarriers for organ-specific drug delivery, this is an important reference source for all those seeking to increase their understanding of how pharmaceutical nanocarriers are being used to create more efficient drug delivery systems. Outlines the underlying principles for the design of advanced pharmaceutical nanocarriers for organ specific drug delivery Includes guidance on how to exploit the pathophysiology and microenvironment of the diseased sites for targeted drug delivery Assesses the major challenges for creating pharmaceutical nanocarriers on a mass scale
