General Survey of Geomedicine
Jul Låg in Geomedicine, 2017
New types of problems have, however, appeared in connection with the development of the industry. Well-known elements have been applied in new ways, and rare elements have come into use. Products like plastics, special steel alloys, metallic glasses, superconductors, etc. may be mentioned. Mankind is exposed to new products.
Functionality of receptor targeted zinc-insulin quantum clusters in skin tissue augmentation and bioimaging

In this work, we are reporting the application of novel amorphous metal–protein quantum clusters for their receptor-targeted in vitro wound healing activity for the first time. Here, novel amorphous insulin zinc quantum clusters (IZnQCs) have been synthesised using the one-pot synthesis technique. This study also shows the unprecedented synergistic effect of insulin and zinc for wound recovery when applied in the IZnQCs form. Internal wounds after invasive surgery are very delicate and proper healing is needed to maintain the life quality of the patient. Due to the unavailability of the internal wound recovery monitoring system, many times surgical wounds need to be reopened for the treatment purpose which increases the health care cost and compromises the life quality of the patient. Since the newly developed system has a dual property for wound recovery and targeted fluorescent bio-imaging, these findings will open a new opportunity for better wound management. Further intervention is needed to monitor the recovery of the post-surgical internal wounds in laboratory-based small animal models.

This paper uses Fe83Zr10B7 as the magnetic media, which is Fe-based bulk metallic glass with great properties such as high permeability, low coercivity, small anisotropy, and lower Curie temperature [31]. This low Curie temperature point performance ensures that it does not warm up after reaching the Curie temperature point and thus has absolute temperature control performance for MIH. However, it has yet to be studied the application in MIH, thus enabling self-regulating temperature mechanism. In this paper, we provide some references for the application of self-regulating temperature nanomaterials in MIH by comparing the experimental results of self-regulating temperature magnetic materials with the results of finite element analysis.
