“…[27] In a previous study by Nassani et al, assessed the knowledge, attitude and perception of nanomedicine among medical residents, it was found that they lacked knowledge, but had a positive attitude and preferred to use nanomedicine in the medical field to treat patients. [28] The results obtained by the previous studies were similar to the results obtained by the present study. There was a general lack of awareness and knowledge among the study populations of the present and previous studies.…”

The term Nanotechnology involves a spectrum of technologies, techniques and processes that can deal with a matter at the nanoscale falling in between 1 nanometre to 100 nanometres in size. The concept of nanotechnology was introduced in 1959 by Richard P Feynman, a Nobel winning physicist. The aim of this research is to assess the knowledge and awareness of nanomedicine and its application in the field of dentistry among dental students. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 dental undergraduate internship students. The questionnaire contained 10 open-ended questions eliciting the knowledge and awareness about nanomedicine and its application in dentistry. The questionnaire was distributed via an online survey tool. The responses were collected and tabulated in the excel sheets, following which they were exported to SPSS software for statistical analysis. 52% of the students were aware of the term nanomedicine. 33% and 16% of the students had awareness of the nano modified impression material and nano modified denture teeth respectively. This study concluded that the knowledge and awareness of nanomedicine and its application in the field of dentistry was moderate among dental students.

“…The real defiance arises from the lack of experience and knowledge about what the focus is, the ideal educational plan of action for its teaching, and the best way to incorporate training spaces that allow the learning of MR in this issue. Although it is a difficult task, has must join efforts for the comprehensive education of the present and future MR. 11 The main purpose of this scoping review is not just to show the value of nanomedicine and its relevance in the formation of MR, but also, to determine the approach and the educational strategies that have been so far proposed worldwide for their teaching and some paths for their inclusion in the curriculum of physician specialties programs.…”

Introduction Clinical research has recently focused on developing diagnostic and therapeutic alternatives through nanomedicine, and it has become essential for both current and coming healthcare professionals, especially medical residents, to know about it to face actual challenges in the setup of their professional practice. Approach This scoping review was conducted to show the relevance of nanomedicine in the formation of medical residents and to determine the educational strategies proposed worldwide for their teaching. Results 12 records met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, including information related to the importance of teaching nanotechnology, possible educational approaches, or the best action strategies for incorporating said teaching. Discussion Multiple studies showed the need for students in health-related programs to be trained and instructed in topics related to nanotechnology. Still, the students’ perceptions highlight how inadequate or non-existent such education in this field is. Although a few studies have proposed strategies and approaches for incorporating nanotechnology in academic programs in different areas, it is still necessary to establish educational standards so that the training of future professionals will be uniform and of high quality. The concerned educational institutions’ directives must try to ensure that their in-training staff receives an updated, full, and excellency education.

Ultrasound-triggered with ROS-responsive SN38 nanoparticle for enhanced combination cancer immunotherapy

Controlled generation of cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS) is essential in cancer therapy. Ultrasound (US)-triggered sonodynamic therapy (SDT) has shown considerable ability to trigger in situ ROS generation. Unfortunately, US therapy alone is insufficient to trigger an efficient anticancer response, owing to the induction of multiple immunosuppressive factors. It was identified that 7-ethyl-10-hydroxycamptothecin (SN38) could notably inhibit DNA topoisomerase I, induce DNA damage and boost robust anticancer immunity. However, limited by the low metabolic stability, poor bioavailability, and dose-limiting toxicity, the direct usage of SN38 is inadequate in immune motivation, which limits its clinical application. Hence, new strategies are needed to improve drug delivery efficiency to enhance DNA topoisomerase I inhibition and DNA damage and elicit a vigorous anticancer cancer immunity response. Considering US irradiation can efficiently generate large amounts of ROS under low-intensity irradiation, in this study, we aimed to design a polymeric, ROS-responsive SN38 nanoformulation for in vivo drug delivery. Upon the in-situ generation of ROS by US therapy, controlled on-demand release of SN38 occurred in tumor sites, which enhanced DNA damage, induced DC cell maturation, and boosted anticancer immunity. Our results demonstrated that a new strategy of involving the combination of a SN38 nanoformulation and US therapy could be used for cancer immunotherapy.
