Vitamin E-assisted Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Clusters Formation for Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Lai J-R, Lai P.S., Yen H-C, Hsu C.Y., Lai J-R, Lai P.S., National Chung Hsing University, TW

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been regard as a noninvasive powerful imaging tool that yields excellent soft-tissue contrast, has a high spatial resolution, and possesses tomographic capabilities. Among the contrast agents used for MRI, superparamagnetic [...]

The Characteristics and Photocatalytic Activity of Visible Light Driven N-doped TiO2

Hsu H-J, Lin Y-H, Lin Y.-T., Lin Y-H, Lin Y.-T., National Chung Hsing University, TW

In the recent decades, titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano-material was received widely attention because of its good chemical stability, low-toxicity, self-cleaning, anti-bacteria and deodorant. However, its photocatalytic activity was limited only by ultraviolte (UV) light irradiation [...]

Bioluminescent quantum dots induced photodynamic therapy in vitro

Hsu C.Y., Lai P.S., Rao J.H., National Chung Hsing University, TW

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is an innovative method for cancer treatment which involves the administration of a photosensitizing agent followed by exposure to the visible light. Appreciate light source to induce photosensitizing agent is the key [...]

AS1411 aptamer-conjugated polymeric micelle for targetable cancer therapy

Lai P.S., Pai C.L., Hsu C.Y., National Chung Hsing University, TW

Targetable drug delivery system is a promising tool for cancer treatments. Herein we report a novel strategy of using G-quadruplex AS1411 aptamer-conjugated polyethylene-polylactide formed polymeric micelles (apt-PEG-PLA-PM) as a drug carrier to target cancer cells [...]

Microwave-assisted superparamagnetic FePt synthesis for MRI application

Tsai J.L., Tsai M.J., Tsai T.Y., Tsai J.L., Tsai M.J., Tsai T.Y., Tsai J.L., Tsai M.J., Tsai T.Y., Lai P.S., National Chung Hsing University, TW

uperparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles have demonstrated their practicability as MRI T2-shortening agents for non-invasive cell labeling, drug delivery or tumor detections in clinical practice. Recently, superparamagnetic chemically disordered face-centered cubic (fcc) FePt nanoparticles has [...]

Theoretical Studies in Epitaxial Stabilization of ZnO-based Light-emitting Semiconductors

Liu P-L, Siao Y-J, Lee M.H., National Chung Hsing University, TW

The device quality ZnO films are expected to next generation materials applied in the field of photo-electronic devices. We find that (0001)-oriented ZnO, Zn0.875Be0.125O, Zn0.875Mg0.125O, and Zn0.875Al0.125O strained layer lattices soften as lattice parameter of [...]
