Продемонстрировано обнаружение наночастиц серебра во внутриклеточном пространстве с помощью проточной цитофлуориметрии. В эндотелиальных клетках линии EA.hy926, инкубированных в растворе, содержащем 2 мкг/мл наносеребра, измеряли боковое светорассеяние. По сравнению с контрольными образцами этот параметр возрастал, в то время как прочие значимые характеристики не изменялись. Это подтверждает чувствительность метода к изменившемуся состоянию клеток и указывает на поглощение наночастиц серебра клетками при концентрации ниже токсической. The study demonstrated a possibility for detection of intracellular silver nanoparticles using flow cytometry. The parameter used in this work, side scattering, was measured in EA.hy926 endothelial cells incubated in a 2 mg/ml silver nanoparticle solution. This parameter was increased compared to control samples. Therefore, this technique was sensitive to changes in the cell status and suggested the cell uptake of the particles under the subtoxic conditions.

A capacity model of mindfulness is adopted to differentiate the cognitive faculty of mindfulness from the metacognitive processes required to cultivate this faculty in mindfulness training. The model provides an explanatory framework incorporating both the developmental progression from focussed attention to open monitoring styles of mindfulness practice, along with the development of equanimity and insight. A standardised technique for activating these processes without the addition of secondary components is then introduced. Mindfulness-based interventions currently available for use in randomised control trials introduce components ancillary to the cognitive processes of mindfulness, limiting their ability to draw clear causative inferences. The standardised technique presented here does not introduce such ancillary factors, rendering it a valuable tool with which to investigate the processes activated in this practice.
