The goal of endodontic treatment is the debridement and removal of the microbial ecosystem associated with the disease process. The need for root canal disinfectants increases especially in those cases where infection is resistant to the regular treatment and the outcome of endodontic therapy is often compromised. Therefore, it is of interest to document the known effectiveness of silver nanoparticle based root canal disinfectants with other root canal disinfectants on microbial load reduction during root canal disinfection. Known data shows that the overall risk of bias for the selected studies was moderate. Silver nanoparticle based root canal disinfectants showed superior reduction of microbial counts in majority of the studies. This data is limited to vitro studies with no clinical information to validate the use of antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles used as root canal disinfectant. 相似文献

The Actinomycete Gordonia amicalis HS-11 produced orange pigments when cultivated on n-hexadecane as the sole carbon source. When cells of this pigmented bacterium were incubated with 1 mM chloroauric acid (HAuCl4) or silver nitrate (AgNO3), pH 9.0, at 25 °C, gold and silver nanoparticles, respectively, were obtained in a cell associated manner. It was hypothesized that the pigments present in the cells may be mediating metal reduction reactions. After solvent extraction and High Performance Liquid Chromatography, two major pigments displaying UV–vis spectra characteristic of carotenoids were isolated. These were identified on the basis of Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization Mass Spectrometry (APCI-MS) in the positive mode as 1′-OH-4-keto-γ-carotene (Carotenoid K) and 1′-OH-γ-carotene (Carotenoid B). The hydroxyl groups present in the carotenoids were eliminated under alkaline conditions and provided the reducing equivalents necessary for synthesizing nanoparticles. Cell associated and carotenoid stabilized nanoparticles were characterized by different analytical techniques. In vitro free radical scavenging activities of cells (control, gold and silver nanoparticle loaded), purified carotenoids and carotenoid stabilized gold and silver nanoparticles were evaluated. Silver nanoparticle loaded cells and carotenoid stabilized silver nanoparticles exhibited improved nitric oxide (NO) and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activities compared to their control and gold counterparts. This paper thus reports cell associated nanoparticle synthesis by G. amicalis, describes for the first time the role of carotenoid pigments in metal reduction processes and demonstrates enhanced free radical scavenging activities of the carotenoid stabilized nanoparticles. 相似文献

Efficient conversion of absorbed light to heat energy and strong scattering by gold and silver nanoparticles suggest these
nanoparticles as the agents of heating and imaging. Absorption efficiency and scattering efficiency of gold and silver nanoparticles
were studied through numerical simulation using the discrete dipole approximation method. This study shows that the size of
gold and silver nanoparticles can effect gold and silver nanoparticles’ absorption efficiency and scattering efficiency. The
gold nanoparticle is found to possess the maximum absorption efficiency when the size of gold nanoparticle is 50 nm and the
incident wavelength is 540 nm, and the increasing scattering efficiency with the increasing size of gold nanoparticle in the
medium, and refractive index of the medium is around 1.33. However, the silver nanoparticle owns the maximum absorption efficiency
when the size of silver nanoparticle is 20 nm and the incident wavelength is 396 nm, and the maximum scattering efficiency
when the size of silver nanoparticle is 30 nm and the incident wavelength is 410 nm in the same medium. The conditions for
achieving the maximum adsorption efficiency and scattering efficiency of gold and silver nanoparticle can be used for heating
and imaging using visible and near-infrared light. 相似文献

Silver in various forms has long been recognized for antimicrobial properties, both in biomedical devices and in eyes. However,
soluble drugs used on the ocular surface are rapidly cleared through tear ducts and eventually ingested, resulting in decreased
efficacy of the drug on its target tissue and potential concern for systemic side effects. Silver nanoparticles were studied
as a source of anti-microbial silver for possible controlled-release contact lens controlled delivery formulations. Silver
ion release over a period of several weeks from nanoparticle sources of various sizes and doses was evaluated in vitro against
Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO1. Mammalian cell viability and cytokine expression in response to silver nanoparticle exposure is evaluated using
corneal epithelial cells and eye-associated macrophages cultured in vitro in serum-free media. Minimal microcidal and cell
toxic effects were observed for several silver nanoparticle suspensions and aqueous extraction times for bulk total silver
concentrations commensurate with comparative silver ion (e.g., ) toxicity. This indicates that (1) silver particles themselves in these size ranges (20–60 nm diameter) are not microcidal
under conditions tested, and (2) insufficient silver ion is generated from these particles at these silver ion-equivalent
loadings to produce observable biological effects compared to silver ions in these in vitro assays. This is consistent with
confounding literature describing both efficacy and lack of microcidal effects for silver nanoparticles, depending on milieu,
surface oxide properties, and size. If dosing allows substantially increased silver particle loading in the lens to produce
sufficient pathogen-toxic silver ions and/or particle-microbe direct contact, the bactericidal efficacy of silver nanoparticles
in vitro could possibly limit bacterial colonization problems associated with extended-wear contact lenses. 相似文献

Gravitational force and shear forces induce various changes in gene expression and metabolite production of microorganisms. Previous reports have shown that there are differences in the expression of different sets of proteins and enzymes under microgravity conditions compared to normal gravity. The aim of this study is to utilize culture filtrates of Penicillium chrysogenum grown under microgravity and normal conditions to synthesize silver nanoparticles and to examine whether there is any difference between their physiochemical and biological function. Synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using UV–Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, and TEM. Biological functional studies such as antimicrobial activity, cytotoxic studies, and anticancer activity were carried out. Antimicrobial activity was tested using antibiotic susceptibility testing by Kirby–Bauer method and cytotoxicity tests were carried out using 3T3-L1 normal fibroblasts cells and Hep-G2 cancer cell lines. Interestingly, our results indicated that microgravity-synthesized silver nanoparticles possess enhanced antibacterial activity and cytotoxic effect against cancer cells compared to normal gravity-synthesized silver nanoparticle. This work highlighted the importance of gravitational vector on the fungal enzyme profiles and their role in silver nanoparticle synthesis with enhanced biological activity. 相似文献

Surface plasma oscillations in metallic particles as well as in thin metallic films have been studied extensively in the past
decades. New features regarding surface plasma excitations are, however, constantly discovered, leading, for example, to surface-enhanced
Raman scattering studies and enhanced optical transmission though metal films with nanohole arrays. In the present work, the
role of a metallic substrate is examined in two cases, one involving an overcoat of dielectric nanoparticles and the other
an overcoat of metallic nanoparticles. Theoretical results are obtained by modeling the nanoparticles as forming a two-dimensional,
hexagonal lattice of spheres. The scattered electromagnetic field is then calculated using a variant of the Green function
method. Comparison with experimental results is made for nanoparticles of tungsten oxide and tin oxide deposited on either
gold or silver substrates, giving qualitative agreement on the extra absorption observed when the dielectric nanoparticles
are added to the metallic surfaces. Such absorption would be attributed to the mirror image effects between the particles
and the substrate. On the other hand, calculations of the optical properties of silver or gold nanoparticle arrays on a gold
or a silver substrate demonstrate very interesting features in the spectral region from 400 to 1,000 nm. Interactions between
the nanoparticle arrays surface plasmons and their images in the metallic substrate would be responsible for the red shift
observed in the absorption resonance. Moreover, effects of particle size and ambient index of refraction are studied, showing
a great potential for applications in biosensing with structures consisting of metallic nanoparticle arrays on metallic substrates. 相似文献

The potential applications of graphene-based materials are increasingly recognized for their special physico-chemical and biological properties. In particular, graphene and graphene oxide as the foundation of nanocomposites have garnered much interest among researchers in many fields. In this review, we concentrate on different aspects of silver nanoparticle composites with graphene and graphene oxide, focusing on their synthesis methods, special characteristics, and antibacterial properties; we also briefly discuss limitations and future research. 相似文献

This study aimed to work out a simple and high-yield procedure for the immobilization of horseradish peroxidase on silver nanoparticle. Ultraviolet–visible (UV-vis) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize silver nanoparticles. Horseradish peroxidase was immobilized on β-cyclodextrin-capped silver nanoparticles via glutaraldehyde cross-linking. Single-cell gel electrophoresis (Comet assay) was also performed to confirm the genotoxicity of silver nanoparticles. To decrease toxicity, silver nanoparticles were capped with β-cyclodextrin. A comparative stability study of soluble and immobilized enzyme preparations was investigated against pH, temperature, and chaotropic agent, urea. The results showed that the cross-linked peroxidase was significantly more stable as compared to the soluble counterpart. The immobilized enzyme exhibited stable enzyme activities after repeated uses. 相似文献

Root canal antiseptics are topically applied to root canals within the pulpless teeth to treat the root canal and periapical infections. Because the antiseptics that are applied to root canals can penetrate through dentin or leak out through an apical foramen into the periodontium and distribute by the systemic circulation, it is important to study the safety of these antiseptics. In the present study, we examined the ability to induce chromosome aberrations in human dental pulp cells of five root canal antiseptics, namely, carbol camphor (CC), camphorated p-monochlorophenol (CMCP), formocresol (FC), calcium hydroxide, and iodoform which are most commonly used in dental practice. Statistically significant increases in the levels of chromosome aberrations were induced by CC, FC, or iodoform in a concentration-dependent manner. Conversely, CMCP and calcium hydroxide failed to induce chromosome aberrations in the absence or presence of exogenous metabolic activation. The percentages of cells with polyploid or endoreduplication were enhanced by FC or iodoform. Our results indicate that the root canal antiseptics that exhibited a positive response are potentially genotoxic to human cells. 相似文献

Many researches have shown that anionic clays can be used as delivery carriers for drug or gene molecules due to their efficient cellular uptake in vitro, and enhanced permeability and retention effect in vivo. It is, therefore, highly required to establish a guideline on their potential toxicity for practical applications. The toxicity of anionic clay, layered metal hydroxide nanoparticle, was evaluated in two human lung epithelial cells, carcinoma A549 cells and normal L-132 cells, and compared with that in other human cancer cell lines such as cervical adenocarcinoma cells (HeLa) and osteosarcoma cells (HOS). The present nanoparticles showed little cytotoxic effects on the proliferation and viability of four cell lines tested at the concentrations used (<250 μg/ml) within 48 h. However, exposing cancer cells to high concentrations (250-500 μg/ml) for 72 h resulted in an inflammatory response with oxidative stress and membrane damage, which varied with the cell type (A549 > HOS > HeLa). On the other hand, the toxicity mechanism seems to be different from that of other inorganic nanoparticles frequently studied for biological and medicinal applications such as iron oxide, silica, and single walled carbon nanotubes. Iron oxide caused cell death associated with membrane damage, while single walled carbon nanotube induced oxidative stress followed by apoptosis. Silica triggered an inflammation response without causing considerable cell death for both cancer cells and normal cells, whereas layered metal hydroxide nanoparticle did not show any cytotoxic effects on normal L-132 cells in terms of inflammation response, oxidative stress, and membrane damage at the concentration of less than 250 μg/ml. It is , therefore, highly expected that the present nanoparticle can be used as a efficient vehicle for drug delivery and cancer cell targeting as well. 相似文献

Metallic nanoparticles of gold functionalized with oligonucleotides conventionally use a terminal thiol modification and have been used in a wide range of applications. Although readily available, the oligonucleotide–nanoparticle conjugates prepared in this way suffer from a lack of stability when exposed to a variety of small molecules or elevated temperatures. If silver is used in place of gold then this lack of stability is even more pronounced. In this study we report the synthesis of highly stabilized oligonucleotide–nanoparticle conjugates using a simple oligonucleotide modification. A modified solid support was used to generate 3′-thioctic acid modified oligonucleotides by treatment with an N-hydroxysuccimidyl ester of thioctic acid. Unusually, both gold and silver nanoparticles have been investigated in this study and show that these disulphide-modified oligonucleotide probes offer significant improvements in nanoparticle stability when treated with dithiothreitol (DTT) compared with monothiol analogues. This is a significant advance in oligonucleotide–nanoparticle conjugate stability and for the first time allows silver nanoparticles to be prepared that are more stable than standard gold-thiol functionalized nanoparticles. This opens up the possibility of using silver nanoparticles functionalized with oligonucleotides as an alternative to gold. 相似文献

We report on a surface design of thin film silicon solar cells based on silver nanoparticle arrays and blazed grating arrays. The light transmittance is increased at the front surface of the cells, utilizing the surface plasmon resonance effect induced by silver nanoparticle arrays. As a reflection layer structure, blazed gratings are placed at the rear surface to increase the light reflectance at bottom of the thin film cells. With the combination of the silver nanoparticle arrays and the blazed gratings, the light trapping efficiency of the thin film solar cell is characterized by its light absorptance, which is determined from the transmittance at front surface and the reflectance at bottom, via the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) numerical simulation method. The results reveal that the light trapping efficiency is enhanced as the structural parameters are optimized. This work also shows that the surface plasmon resonance effect induced by the silver nanoparticles and the grating characteristics of the blazed gratings play crucial roles in the design of the thin film silicon solar cells. 相似文献

In this paper, the enhancement of thermal properties of polymer-coated silver nanoparticles by the addition of plasmid DNA is described. Nanoparticles of noble metals such as gold and silver possess specific characteristics by virtue of their quantum size effects. Therefore, noble metal nanoparticles are used for chemical sensing and biosensing applications based on their localized surface plasmon resonance absorption that can be measured in the visible region. The polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-coated noble metal nanoparticles, in particular, with high dispersion ability in water, offer several advantages for sensing applications. However, some difficulties are encountered in the use of these PVP-coated noble metal nanoparticles for sensing applications due to their poor thermal properties. To improve the thermal properties of PVP-coated noble metal nanoparticles, we found that the addition of plasmid DNA to PVP-coated silver nanoparticles enhances their thermal properties due to good thermal stability of DNA. The introduction of plasmid DNA into PVP-coated silver nanoparticle dispersion enhanced the thermal properties through the formation of a complex between the nanoparticles and plasmid DNA. Furthermore, other polymers such as proteins and polyethylene glycol did not enhance the thermal properties of PVP-coated silver nanoparticles. Thus, the PVP-coated silver nanoparticle–plasmid DNA complex with enhanced thermal properties has a great potential for use in medical and drug delivery applications. 相似文献

Biomediated silver nanoparticle were synthesized using a cell free extract of a soil bacterium, Exiguobacterium mexicanum PR 10.6. The silver nanoparticles were characterised using UV–Vis spectroscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The nanoparticles ranged from 5 to 40 nm. Extracellular polymeric substance played a critical role in the reduction of silver ion and nanoparticle stabilisation when using the cell free extract. The synthesis using E. mexicanum is an effective eco-friendly, rapid method for silver nanoparticle synthesis within 1 h. 相似文献

Silver nanoparticles have been modified with self-assembled monolayers of hydroxyl-terminated long chain thiols and encapsulated with a silica shell. The resulting core–shell nanoparticles were used as optical labels for cell analysis using flow cytometry and microscopy. The excitation of plasmon resonances in nanoparticles results in strong depolarized scattering of visible light, permitting detection at the single nanoparticle level. The nanoparticles were modified with neutravidin via epoxide–azide coupling chemistry, to which biotinylated antibodies targeting cell surface receptors were bound. The nanoparticle labels exhibited long-term stability in solutions with high salt concentrations without aggregation or silver etching. Labeled cells exhibited two orders of magnitude enhancement of the scattering intensity compared with unlabeled cells. 相似文献

Antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles is gaining importance due its broad spectrum of targets in cell compared to
conventional antimicrobial agents. In this context, a UV photo-reduction method was used for the synthesis and the nanoparticles
were characterized by UV–Visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and thermogravimetric
analysis techniques. The antibacterial activity of the synthesized silver nanoparticles was evaluated both in liquid and solid
growth media employing various susceptibility assays on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a ubiquitous bacterium. The dose dependent growth suppression by nanoparticles was studied with well diffusion method. By
broth dilution method, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was found to be 2 μg/ml. It was observed that the bactericidal
effect depends both on nanoparticle concentration and number of bacteria present. In our study, we could demonstrate the complete
antibiofilm activity of silver nanoparticles at a concentration as low as 1 μg/ml. Our observations substantiated the association
of reactive oxygen species and cell membrane damage in the antibacterial mechanism of silver nanoparticles. Our findings suggested
that these nanoparticles can be exploited towards the development of potential antibacterial coatings for various biomedical
and environmental applications. 相似文献

The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) behaviour of luminol on a silver nanoparticle self-assembled gold electrode in neutral and alkaline solutions was investigated using conventional cyclic voltammetry (CV). The silver nanoparticle self-assembled gold electrode exhibited excellent ECL properties for the luminol ECL system. In neutral solutions, four ECL peaks (ECL-1-ECL-4) were observed at 0.73, 1.15, -0.46 and -1.35 V (vs. SCE), respectively. The intensities of these peaks were enhanced significantly compared with those on a bulk gold electrode and a gold nanoparticle self-assembled gold electrode. It was found that ECL-1 and ECL-2 on a silver nanoparticle-modified electrode were about 1000 and 1770 times stronger than those on a bare Au electrode and were about 17 and 15 times stronger than those on a gold nanoparticle-modified electrode, respectively. In alkaline solutions, four ECL peaks were also observed that were much stronger than those in neutral solutions, and ECL-1 and ECL-2 were enhanced by about three orders and one order of magnitude compared with those on a bare Au electrode and on a gold nanoparticle self-assembled electrode, respectively. Moreover, the silver nanoparticle-modified electrode exhibited good stability and reproducibility for luminol ECL. These peaks were found to depend on a number of factors, including silver nanoparticles on the surface of the modified electrode, potential scan direction, scan rate, scan range, the presence of O2 or N2, pH values, the concentrations of NaBr and luminol, and buffer solutions. The emitter of the ECL was confirmed as 3-aminophthalate by analysing the CL spectra. The surface state of the silver nanoparticle self-assembled electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the interface property of the electrode was studied by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A mechanism for the formation of these ECL peaks is proposed. The results demonstrate that luminol has excellent ECL properties, such as strong ECL intensity and good reproducibility on a silver nanoparticle-modified gold electrode, in both neutral and alkaline solutions, which is of great potential in analytical applications. 相似文献

The influence of metal nanoparticles on linear and nonlinear optical properties of surrounding organic molecules has been widely investigated, whereas much less attention has been paid to the influence of molecules on properties of nanoparticles. Here, we employ transient absorption spectroscopy to address the nonlinear optical responses of the resonantly coupled silver nanoparticle–organic dye systems and demonstrate that silver nanoparticles covered with dye molecules show enhanced and spectrally different nonlinear extinction changes from pristine nanoparticles. We identify changes of the plasmon resonance band of nanoparticles induced by excitation of surrounding dye. We attribute these exciton–plasmon coupling effects to the excitation-induced refractive index modifications of the dye layer surrounding a nanoparticle and to the back-transfer of the oscillator strength borrowed by the dye from the nanoparticle. 相似文献
