  • $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles have been prepared by a sol-gel method. The structural and magnetic properties have been investigated by XRD, VSM and Mossbauer spectroscopy. $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ powder annealed at $150^{\circ}C$ has a spinel structure and superparamagnetical behavior. The estimated size of superparammagnetic $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticle is around 7 nm. The hyperfine fields at $-261^{\circ}C$ for the A and B patterns were found to be 503 and 485 kOe, respectively. The blocking temperature ($T_B$) of superparammagnetic $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticle is about $-183^{\circ}C$. The magnetic anisotropy constant of $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticle was calculated to be $1.6{\times}10^6ergs/cm^3$. $\gamma-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticle annealed at $150^{\circ}C$ can be a candidate for biomedicine applications as magnetic carriers.

  • Objectives: This study investigated the question of whether adenoviral magnetofection can be a suitable method for increasing the efficacy of gene delivery into bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) and for generation of a high level of bone morphogenic protein (BMP) secretion at a minimized viral titer. Materials and Methods: Primary BMSCs were isolated from C57BL6 mice and transduced with adenoviral vectors encoding ${\beta}$ galactosidase or BMP2 and BMP7. The level of BMP secretion, activity of osteoblast differentiation, and cell viability of magnetofection were measured and compared with those of the control group. Results: The expression level of ${\beta}$ galactosidase showed that the cell transduction efficiency of AdLacZ increased according to the increased amount of magnetic nanoparticles. No change in cell viability was observed after magnetofection with 2 ${\mu}L$ of magnetic nanoparticle. Secretion of BMP2 or BMP7 was accelerated after transduction of AdBMP2 and 7 with magnetofection. AdBMP2 adenoviral magnetofection resulted in up to 7.2-fold higher secretion of BMP2, compared with conventional AdBMP2-transduced BMSCs. Magnetofection also induced a dramatic increase in secretion of BMP7 by up to 10-fold compared to the control. Use of only 1 multiplicity of infection (moi) of magnetofection with adenoviral transduction of AdBMP2 or AdBMP7 resulted in significantly higher transgene expression compared to 20 moi of conventional adenoviral transduction. Conclusion: Magnetic particle-mediated gene transudation is a highly efficient method of gene delivery to BMSCs. Magnetofection can lower the amount of viral particles while improving the efficacy of gene delivery.

  • The waste of sintered Nd-Fe-B magnets was recycled using the method of dopingPrNd nanoparticles. The effect of PrNd nanoparticle doping on the magnetic properties of the regenerated magnets has been studied. As the content of the PrNd nanoparticles increases, the coercivity increases monotonically, whereas both the remanence and the maximum energy products reach the maximum values for 4 wt% PrNd doping. Microstructural observation reveals that the appropriate addition of PrNd nanoparticles improves the magnetic properties and refines the grain. Domain investigation shows that the self-pinning effect of the rare earth (Re)-rich phase is enhanced by PrNd nano-particle doping. Compared to the magnet with 4 wt% PrNd alloy prepared using the dual-alloy method, the regenerated magnet doped with the same number of PrNd nanoparticles exhibits better magnetic properties and a more homogeneous microstructure. Therefore, it is concluded that PrNd nanoparticle doping is an efficient method for recycling the leftover scraps of Nd-Fe-B magnets.
