Apoptosis induced by titanium dioxide nanoparticles in cultured murine microglia N9 cells

Owing to the rapidly increasing output of nano-scale titanium dioxide （TiO2） particles, their potential risk for central nerve system （CNS） has elicited much concern recently. Microglia is the resident macrophage in CNS and essential for the homeostasis of the CNS microenvironment. They are supposed to response to nanoparticles depositing in the brain tissues. Therefore, we investigated the cytotoxic effects of TiO2 NPs on microglia N9 cells in vitro. Results of propidium iodide/fluorescein diacetate （PI/FDA） double staining and MTT test clearly showed that TiO2 NPs more efficiently affected the viability of microglia N9 cells. Further Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometric analysis proved that nano-scale but not normal scale TiO2 induced apoptosis in vitro, These data suggest that TiO2 NPs can elicit apoptosis of N9 cells in vitro and thus present a potential risk for CNS.     

Physicochemical properties and potential health effects of nanoparticles from pulverized coal combustion

Nanoparticles are thought to induce more severe health impacts than larger particles. The nanoparticles from coal-fired boilers are classified into three size fractions with a 13-stage low pressure impactor. Their physicochemical properties are characterized by the high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscope and X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (XRF). The results show that coal-derived nanoparticles mainly consist of individual primary particles of 20–150 nm and their aggregates. Inorganic nanoparticles primarily contain ash-forming elements and their aggregates have a dense structure. Organic nanoparticles are dominated by the element carbon and their aggregates have a loose structure. Nanoparticles from the same boiler have a similar composition and are primarily composed of sulfur, refractory elements and alkali/alkaline elements. Some transition and heavy metals are also detected. For different boilers, greater differences are observed in the production of the nanoparticles and their composition, possibly due to the use of low-NO _x burners. Coal-derived nanoparticles have a small size, large specific surface area and complicated chemical composition, and thus are potentially more harmful to human health.

用中空纤维膜分散技术制备纳米颗粒

采用中空纤维膜为分散介质,以制备纳米BaSO₄为例,探索膜分散制备纳米颗粒技术。实验以Na₂SO₄溶液为连续相,将BaCl₂溶液通过中空纤维膜均匀分散到Na₂SO₄溶液中,在透过膜的微小液滴形成的微环境中实现两种溶液的微观混合,并反应生成BaSO₄颗粒。实验研究了膜组件构型、反应物浓度、分散剂、膜孔孔径大小等因素对BaSO₄颗粒形貌、大小和粒度分布的影响。结果表明：采用膜截留分子量为10000的中空纤维膜制成的浸没式膜组件,反应物Na₂SO₄和BaCl₂溶液浓度均为0.02mol/L,加入分散剂聚乙二醇(PEG)制得了平均粒径在10～30nm、球形度好、单分散性好的纳米BaSO₄颗粒.
