This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of a novel in vitro technique in clot capturing and dissolving them by applying magnetic force on magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) carrying thrombolytic agents. It is a quick and simple method to protect patients from a life-threatening pulmonary embolism in an emergency to provide time for the medical team. To analyze the in vitro efficiency of nano-magnetic capturing and dissolving of clots (NCDC), different levels of process parameter including strength magnetic field (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 T) and fluid flow rate (2.5, 5 and 7 l/min) are exposed to different blood clots sizes from 5 × 10 to 20 × 10 mm2 (length × diameter), in an in vitro flow model. The results show that by increasing the parameters to their maximum values, it is possible to immobilize 100% of the clots and dissolve around 61.4% of clots weight. In addition, the clot-dissolving is directly proportional to the magnetic field strength. NCDC is an efficient technique in immobilizing and dissolving the clots and its efficiency depends on process parameters especially the magnetic field.

Abstract Organophosphorus pesticides are currently extensively applied on the control of agricultural and forestry pests. The number of poisonings and deaths caused by organophosphorus pesticides are increasing year by year. Because of the complex matrix, numerous interfering substances, and low poison content, pretreatment methods are crucial for the detection and analysis of such cases. As an adsorbent used for pretreatment, magnetic nanoparticles have the advantages of simple preparation, convenient modification, superparamagnetism, and hydrophilicity. Microextraction can be performed with small amount of magnetic nanoparticles in a short time, and the target substances can be separated with an external magnetic field. In this paper, the latest research achievements are reviewed. Based on the introduced characteristics and preparation methods of magnetic nanoparticles, this paper outlines the applications of different functionalized magnetic nanoparticles for the pretreatment of organophosphorus pesticides and predict the potential research prospects.

PS/CoPd Janus particles respond very sensitively to application of low external magnetic fields. Owing to the magnetic properties, the PS/CoPd particles may be used, for example, to sense the presence of weak magnetic fields as micro-magnetometers.

Nanomaterials provide enormous opportunities to overcome the limitations of conventional ocular delivery systems, such as low therapeutic efficacy, side effects due to the systemic exposure, or invasive surgery. Apart from the more common ocular disorders, there are some genetic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, that develop ocular disorders as secondary effects as long as the disease progresses. These patients are more difficult to be pharmacologically treated using conventional drug routes (topically, systemic), since specific pharmacological formulations can be incompatible, display increased toxicity, or their therapeutic efficacy decreases with the administration of different kind of chemical molecules. Magnetic nanoparticles can be used as potent drug carriers and magnetic hyperthermia agents due to their response to an external magnetic field. Drugs can be concentrated in the target point, limiting the damage to other tissues. The other advantage of these magnetic nanoparticles is that they can act as magnetic resonance imaging agents, allowing the detection of the exact location of the disease. However, there are some drawbacks related to their use in drug delivery, such as the limitation to maintain efficacy in the target organ once the magnetic field is removed from outside. Another disadvantage is the difficulty in maintaining the therapeutic action in three dimensions inside the human body. This review summarizes all the application possibilities related to magnetic nanoparticles in ocular diseases.

This paper presents the results of an experimental study of the influence of an external magnetic field on the shear flow behaviour of a magnetic fluid based on barium hexaferrite nanoplates. With the use of rheometry, the magnetoviscosity and field-dependent yield-stress in the fluid are evaluated. The observed fluid behaviour is compared to that of ferrofluids with magnetic nanoparticles having high dipole interaction. The results obtained supplement the so-far poorly studied topic of the influence of magnetic nanoparticles’ shape on magnetoviscous effects. It is concluded that the parameter determining the observed magnetoviscous effects in the fluid under study is the ratio V2/l3, where V is the volume of the nanoparticle and l is the size of the nanoparticle in the direction corresponding to its orientation in the externally applied magnetic field.
