Summary: This study presents the synthesis, characterization, and in vitro release studies of pH- and temperature-sensitive Fe3O4-SiO2-poly(NVCL-co-MAA) nanocomposite. The nanocomposite was prepared by coating Fe3O4 nanoparticles with SiO2 and functionalizing with vinyl groups, followed by grafting poly(NVCL-co-MAA) onto the nanoparticles. Various techniques were used to characterize the nanocomposite. The release behavior of Doxorubicin (DOX) loaded in the nanocomposite was studied at different pH values and temperatures, showing potential as a DOX carrier in biomedical applications.

Summary: Controllable multi-drug release is achieved by using a unique composite hydrogel structure with magnetically aligned Fe3O4 nano-rods. The release can be triggered by the magnetocaloric anisotropy in different layers of the hydrogel, depending on the direction of the magnetic field. The opposite drug release trend is maintained even after multiple switching of the magnetic field direction.

Summary: A versatile nanoplatform, PDDFe, capable of tumorspecific delivery and controlled drug release was constructed. The nanoplatform utilized iron-oxide nanoparticles and doxorubicin encapsulated in pH/thermal-sensitive micelles to achieve remarkable magnetic targeting effects and specific accumulation at tumor locations. The release of the drug was triggered by the acidic environment and localized heat generated by hyperthermia therapy, leading to a pronounced therapeutic effect. In vivo imaging experiments validated the site-specific accumulation of the nanoplatforms at the tumor sites. The combination of PDDFe with alternating magnetic field and laser irradiation effectively retarded tumor growth through hyperthermia/chemo/chemodynamic therapy.

Summary: Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the progressive loss and death of nerve cells, and efforts are being made to understand their pathogenesis. This review focuses on Alzheimer's disease, which has a high prevalence and lacks radical treatment, and explores the potential neurological effects of phytochemicals as therapeutic agents. The survey highlights the inhibitory effects of herbal compounds on acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme with significant value in AD treatment. It has been shown that phytopharmaceuticals can have long-term effects in protecting nervous system health, reducing inflammation, improving cognitive damage, and alleviating dementia sequelae. Herbal-based therapeutics offer advantages as new generation or complementary agents with high compliance, fewer adverse effects, and lower cost compared to traditional pharmaceutical agents in the fight against AD.

Summary: The corrosion behavior of Fe-60 and Fe-83 ribbons in 0.6 M NaCl was studied. Fe-60 exhibited a local corrosion mode and formed a stable passivation film with higher corrosion resistance, while Fe-83 showed a combination of local and global corrosion modes and had lower corrosion resistance. Controlling the precipitation of nanocrystalline phases and increasing the POx content in the passivation film significantly improved the corrosion resistance of Fe-based glassy alloys.
