Abstract
The eye orbit has mechanical and acoustic characteristics that determine resonant frequencies and amplify acoustic signals in certain frequency ranges. These characteristics also interfere with the acoustic amplitudes and frequencies of eyeball when measured with an acoustic tonometer. A model in which a porcine eyeball was embedded in ultrasonic conductive gel in the orbit of a model skull was used to simulate an in vivo environment, and the acoustic responses of eyeballs were detected. The triggering source was a low-power acoustic speaker contacting the occipital bone, and the detector was a high-resolution microphone with a dish detecting the acoustic signals without contacting the cornea. Dozens of ex vivo porcine eyeballs were tested at various intraocular pressure levels to detect their resonant frequencies and acoustic amplitudes in their power spectra. We confirmed that the eyeballs’ resonant frequencies were proportional to intraocular pressure, but interference from orbit effects decreased the amplitudes in these resonant frequency ranges. However, we observed that the frequency amplitudes of eyeballs were correlated with intraocular pressure in other frequency ranges. We investigated eye orbit effects and demonstrated how they interfere with the eyeball’s resonant frequencies and frequency amplitudes. These results are useful for developing advanced acoustic tonometer.

Abstract
Background: Combinatorial medicine includes promising therapeutic methods for diseases such as cancer, whereby various biochemical and physical agents are simultaneously used to remove tumors. For example, the effectiveness of hyperthermia as a new technique for cancer therapy, can be enhanced, if it is combined with chemical compounds. Herein, the influence of quercetin as a heat shock protein (HSP) inhibitor on the efficiency of cobalt ferrite-graphene oxide (CoFe2O4-GO) nanoparticles- based hyperthermia was investigated in an in vitro study. Methods: Firstly, the surface of graphene sheets was decorated with CoFe2O4 nanoparticles (5-8 nm) and assayed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. The cytotoxic effect of the corresponding co-implementation was then examined in MCF7 cell line with or without hyperthermia by (3-(4,5-dimethyl thiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) (MTT) test for 24, 48 and 72 hrs. In addition, the expression of Bax, Bcl2 and HSP70 genes and the production of radicals were evaluated by Real-Time PCR and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assays respectively. Results: The study showed that the doses associated with the IC50 points for quercetin and the CoFe2O4-GO nanocomposite were 0.02 mg/ml and 0.001 g/ml, respectively. The results showed that the simultaneous treatment of the cancer cells with quercetin, the nanocomposite, and hyperthermia significantly improves the cytotoxicity effect, increases the expression of Bax gene and down-regulates HSP70 and Bcl2 genes. In addition, the greatest attenuation of DPPH free radicals was observed in the corresponding group. Conclusion: The hybrid treatment of quercetin and the nanoparticle in the presence of hyperthermia could be considered as a promising approach for cancer therapy with minor side effects.

Abstract
To improve bovine corneal endothelial cell (BCEC) migration, enhance cell energy, and facilitate symmetric cell distribution in corneal surfaces, an electromagnet device was fabricated. Twenty nanometer superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) functionalized with fourth-generation dendrimer macromolecules were synthesized, and their size and structure were evaluated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results confirmed the configuration of the dendrimer on the SPION surfaces. In vitro biocompatibility was assessed using the 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay. No significant toxicity was noted on BCECs within 24 h of incubation. In the cell migration assay, cells treated with dendrimer-coated SPIONs exhibited a relatively high wound healing rate under sample addition (1 μg/mL) under a magnetic field. Real-time PCR on BCECs treated with dendrimer-coated SPIONs revealed upregulation of specific genes, including AT1P1 and NCAM1, for BCECs-dendrimer-coated SPIONs under a magnetic field. The three-dimensional dispersion of BCECs containing dendrimer-coated SPIONs under a magnetic field was evaluated using COMSOL Multiphysics software. The results revealed the BCECs-SPION vortex pattern layers in the corneal surface corresponded to the electromagnet's displacement from the ocular surface. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated that dendrimer-coated SPIONs can be used as a T2 contrast agent.

Abstract
Curcumin has been recognized as an effective anticancer agent. However, due to its hydrophobic property, the cell absorption is not satisfied. Herein, the curcumin nanoparticles were prepared in the presence of polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG6000) to reduce its elimination by immune system. For first time, not only the curcumin was encapsulated within the niosome nanoparticles modified by PEG, there are no reports related to the anticancer property of curcumin against thyroid cancers. The nanoparticles was developed and its anticancer was studied on sw-1736 cancer cell line. The nanoparticles were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). Also, the release profile of curcumin, the IC50 concentration, the radical amount and the gene expression were evaluated. The optimized nanoparticles showed a diameter of 212 ± 31 nm by SEM and the encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity of 76% and 16.8% respectively. DLS confirmed the polydispersity index (PDI) of 0.596 and the release model was shown a sustained release with the delivery of 68% curcumin after 6 days. Also, the nanoparticles indicated the higher storage stability at 4 °C. After the cell treatment, the apoptotic bodies were appeared and IC50 was obtained as 0.159 mM. Moreover, the generated radicals by the treated cells was 86% after 72 h and the gene pattern indicated the bax/bcl2 ratio of 6.83 confirming the apoptosis effect of the nanoparticles. The results approved the nanoparticles could be suggested as an anticancer drug candidate for thyroid cancers. The encapsulated curcumin within the niosome nanoparticles modified with PEG, could be released and up-taken by the thyroid cancer cell line due to the same hydrophobic property of cell membrane and the niosome particles. The reaction between curcumin and cellular components generates radicals and activates the apoptotic pathway. The corresponding reaction finally makes cell death.

Abstract
Nowadays, carbon-based nanostructure materials are regarded as promising carriers for
drug delivery to improve the effective treatment of diseases. The formation of covalent and noncovalent
molecular bonds can be used for surface modification of nano-carriers in order to manipulate
their toxicity, water solubility, and cellular internalization. Graphene and its derivatives have
shown important potential in drug delivery systems. Among different graphene derivatives, Graphene
Oxide (GO) is the most extensively used derivative. GO sheets have possessed certain oxygen
functional groups including carboxylic acid groups at the edges, epoxy and hydroxyl groups on the
basal planes. The oxygen groups on the surface of GO sheets enhance their capabilities for functionalization
with chemical and bioactive molecules. In this review, we highlight the recent researches
about the effect of reactive sites on the surface of GO and its derivatives in drug delivery systems.
Therefore, the application of GO and its derivatives have been discussed as a delivery system in cancer
treatment, gene therapy, and combination therapy, followed by discussions on their related issues.
Finally, the review will provide a future perspective to the applications of GO-based materials as part
of drug delivery systems, and may open up new viewpoints to motivate broader interests across these
interdisciplinary fields.

Abstract
The design of novel materials to use simultaneously in an ocular system for driven therapeutics and wound healing is still challenging. Here, we produced nanocomposites of tungsten disulfide carriers with spherical cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (NPs) as core inside a cubic iron oxide NPs shell (WS2/s-CoFe2O4@c-Fe3O4). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed that 10 nm s-CoFe2O4@c-Fe3O4 NPs were attached on the WS2 sheet surfaces. The cytotoxicity of the WS2 sheets and nanocomposites were evaluated on bovine cornea endothelial cells (BCECs) using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay for a duration of three days. The MTT assay results showed low toxicity of the WS2 sheets on BCECs by 67% cell viability at 100 μg/mL in 24 h, while the nanocomposites show 50% cell viability in the same conditions. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of nanocomposites revealed the excellent T2-weighted imaging with an r2 contrast of 108 mM-1 S-1. The in vitro photothermal therapy based on WS2 sheets and WS2/s-CoFe2O4 @c-Fe3O4 nanocomposites using 808 nm laser showed that the maximum thermal energy dispatched in medium at different applied power densities (1200 mw, 1800, 2200, 2600 mW) was for 0.1 mg/mL of the sample solution. The migration assay of BCECs showed that the wound healing was approximately 20% slower for the cell exposed by nanocomposites compared with the control (no exposed BCECs). We believe that WS2/s-CoFe2O4@c-Fe3O4 nanocomposites have a synergic effect as photothermal therapy agents for eye diseases and could be a target in an ocular system using MRI.

Abstract
Lateral flow immunoassay (LFA) is a well-known point-of-care technology for the detection of various analytes. However, low sensitivity and lack of quantitative results are some of its critical drawbacks. Here we report a photothermal enhanced lateral flow sensor on the basis of the photothermal properties of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) for the detection of E-coli O157:H7 as a model pathogen. The calibration curve of the photothermal method exhibited a linear range from 5 × 10⁵ to 5 × 10⁷ CFU/ml with a correlation coefficient of R2 = 0.96 and a regression equation of y = 8.1x-43 for standard bacteria solutions in phosphate buffer. The limit of detection was ∼5 × 10⁵ CFU/ml for standard bacteria solutions, which was a 10-fold enhancement in sensitivity compared to the qualitative results. Specificity experiments showed that the photothermal method can only detect the target bacteria among 6 types of bacteria strains. It was confirmed that the developed technique could be a highly potential method for the rapid detection field because it can provide fast quantitative results with improved sensitivity.

Abstract
While the differentiation factors have been widely used to differentiate mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) into various cell types, they can cause harm at the same time. Therefore, it is beneficial to propose methods to differentiate MSCs without factors. Herein, magnetoelectric (ME) nanofibers were synthesized as the scaffold for the growth of MSCs and their differentiation into neural cells without factors. This nanocomposite takes the advantage of the synergies of the magnetostrictive filler, CoFe2 O 4 nanoparticles (CFO), and piezoelectric polymer, polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF). Graphene oxide nanosheets were decorated with CFO nanoparticles for a proper dispersion in the polymer through a hydrothermal process. After that, the piezoelectric PVDF polymer, which contained the magnetic nanoparticles, underwent the electrospun process to form ME nanofibers, the ME property of which has the potential to be used in areas such as tissue engineering, biosensors, and actuators.

Abstract
In this study, graphene oxide (GO) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were used as visual labels in a lateral flow assay for detection of E. coli O157:H7. The color intensity was employed for the quantitative measurements of the target bacteria. Quantitative results showed that in comparison to GO, rGO can provide higher color intensity owing to enhanced light absorption following chemical reduction. Our results confirm that the visual limit of detection of the target bacteria by rGO is ∼105 colony forming unit per milliliter (CFU/ml), which closely compares with current alternative techniques using gold nanoparticles. The performance and practicability of the rGO-based test strips for detection of the target bacteria in milk and drinking water were validated with conventional plating and colony counting techniques. Results suggest that the proposed lateral flow assay is sensitive, specific, and affordable. It has also the potential to become a widely used detection technique for E. coli O157:H7 and a wide variety of other analytes.

Abstract
This paper reports on hydrogen sensing based graphene oxide hybrid with Co-based metal organic frameworks (Co-MOFs@GO) prepared by the hydrothermal process. The texture and morphology of the hybrid were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis. Porous flower like structures assembled from Co-MOFs and GO flakes with sufficient specific surface area are obtained, which are ideal for gas molecules diffusion and interactions. Sensing performance of Co-MOFs@GO were tested and also improved by sputtering platinum (Pt) as a catalyst. The Pt-sputtered Co-MOFs@GO show outstanding hydrogen resistive-sensing with response and recovery times below 12 s at 15 °C. Also, they show stable, repeatable and selective responses to the target gas which make it suitable for the development of a high performance hydrogen sensor.

Abstract
Designing suitable nano-carriers for simultaneous gene delivery and tracking is in the research priorities of the molecular medicine. Non-toxic graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with two different (green and red) emission colors are synthesized by Hummer's method and characterized by UV-Vis, Photoluminescence (PL), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopies, Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The GQDs are conjugated with MPG-2H1 chimeric peptide and plasmid DNA (pDNA) by non-covalent interactions. Following conjugation, the average diameter of the prepared GQDs increased from 80 nm to 280 nm in complex structure, and the ζ-potential of the complex increased (from -36.87 to -2.56 mV). High transfection efficiency of the nano-carrier and results of confocal microscopy demonstrated that our construct can be considered as a nontoxic carrier with dual functions for gene delivery and nuclear targeting.

Abstract
Electrospinning of composite polymer solutions provides fantastic potential to prepare novel nanofibers for use in a variety of applications. The addition of graphene (G) and graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets to bioactive polymers was found to enhance their conductivity and biocompatibility. Composite conductive nanofibers of polyaniline (PANI) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) with G and GO nanosheets were prepared by an electrospinning process. The fabricated membranes were investigated by physical and chemical examinations including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD) and tensile assay. The muscle satellite cells enriched by a pre-plating technique were cultured in the following and their proliferation and differentiation behavior studied by MTT, Real-Time PCR assays and 4', 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining. The cultured cells on composite nanofibrous PAN/PANI-CSA/G confirmed a higher proliferation and differentiation value compared to other groups including PAN/PANI-CSA/GO and PAN/PANI-CSA scaffolds. Furthermore, the higher stiffness of the former scaffold showed a lower cell spreading as a function of stem cell activation into more proliferative cells. It is supposed that the enhanced conductivity value in addition to relative higher stiffness of the PAN/PANI-CSA/G composite nanofibers plays a favorable role for proliferation and differentiation of satellite cells.

Abstract
Curcumin (as a natural reductant material) was utilized for green reduction and functionalization of chemically exfoliated graphene oxide (GO) sheets. The π-π attachment of the curcumin molecules onto the curcumin-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) sheets was confirmed by Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies. Zeta potential of the GO sheets decreased from about -40 mV to -20 mV, after the green reduction and functionalization. The probable cytotoxicity of the curcumin-rGO sheets was studied through their interactions with two human breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231 and SKBR3 cell lines) and a normal cell line (mouse fibroblast L929 cell line). The curcumin-rGO sheet with concentrations <70 μg/mL in the cell culture medium, not only exhibited no significant toxicity and/or cell morphological changes, but also caused some cell growths (~25% after 48 h incubation time). Nevertheless, at 70 μg/mL, initiation of some cell morphological changes was observed. At higher concentrations (e.g., 100 μg/mL), some slight cytotoxic effects (resulting in ~15-25% cell destruction) were detected by MTT assay. In addition, the interaction of the rGO sheets and cells resulted in apoptosis as well as morphological transformation of the cells (from elongated to roundup morphology). These results indicated the concentration-dependent toxicity of functionalized-rGO nanomaterials (here, curcumin-rGO) at the threshold concentration of ~100 μg/mL.
