The role of porous media in biomedical engineering as related to magnetic resonance imaging and drug delivery

Pertinent works associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and drug delivery are reviewed in this work to demonstrate the role of transport theory in porous media in advancing the progress in biomedical applications. Diffusion process is considered significant in many therapies such as delivering drugs to the brain. Progress in development of the diffusion equation using local volume-averaging technique and evaluation of the applications associated with the diffusion equation are analyzed. Tortuosity and porosity have a significant effect on the diffusion transport. Different relevant models of tortuosity are presented and mathematical modeling of drug release from biodegradable delivery systems are analyzed in this investigation. New models for the kinetics of drug release from porous biodegradable polymeric microspheres under bulk erosion and surface erosion of the polymer matrix are presented in this study. Diffusion of the dissolved drug, dissolution of the drug from the solid phase, and erosion of the polymer matrix are found to play a central role in controlling the overall drug release process. This study paves the road for the researchers in the area of MRI and drug delivery to develop comprehensive models based on porous media theory utilizing fewer assumptions as compared to other approaches.     

Nanozymes for biomedical applications in orthopaedics

As the next generation of artificial enzymes, nanozymes have attracted increasing attention in biomedical applications due to their multienzyme-like characteristics, multifunctionalities, low cost, and high stability. By taking advantage of their diverse activities, a growing number of nanozyme-mediated therapeutic strategies have been developed for various diseases. Herein, we provide a brief review of the representative studies of nanozymes, especially in orthopaedic diseases over the past decade, which include arthritis, osteoporosis, bone regeneration, bacteria-associated infections, and osteosarcoma. Moreover, the future potential applications and some major challenges are also discussed. This review would not only provide some instructive views of nanozymes but also promote the development of enzyme-mimetic strategies in orthopaedics.

Combustion in engineering

This is a theoretical study of the diffusive deposition of nucleated fog droplets on a low-pressure steam turbine blade operating between terminal conditions 0.23 bar, 3% wetness and 0.10 bar. Nucleation is assumed to occur at the nozzle passage entrance and fog droplets in the diameter range 0.01–1.00 μm invade both boundary layers in addition to the free stream. Droplets in the boundary layers are subject to diffusion and deposition. If the blade surface temperature is raised by internal heating, the droplets are also subject concurrently to thermophoresis and phase change. The boundary layers were divided into equal cells of size 4 mm flow-wise x 5 μm height-wise and the effects of the coupled phenomena were traced, using a comprehensive computer program, for the complete fluid transit for blade temperatures of 66–85°C. Calculations show that deposition can be inhibited by a modest degree of heating which for 1.0 μm drops is approximately 3 kW per m of blade length.     

Birefringent-fluid-flow method in engineering

The theories of the birefringent flow are reviewed. The development of the experimental techniques, the search for suitable birefringent fluids, and the application of the method to various engineering problems are presented. The special scattered-light polariscope for the three-dimensional birefringent flow and the research to establish the three-dimensional flow-optic law are discussed. A few examples of three-dimensional flow through straight channels with various cross sections are given.

Engineering lattice defects in 2D nanomaterials for enhancing biomedical performances

2D nanomaterials are widely investigated for biomedical applications, attributed to their large specific surface area, high therapeutic loading capacity, and unique optical, thermal, and/or electronic characteristics. Lattice defects affect the theranostic performance of 2D nanomaterials significantly by altering their electronic properties and chemical binding. Recent investigations have shown that defect-rich 2D nanomaterials are capable of enhancing tumor treatment through efficient drug delivery, photothermal and photodynamic therapies (PTT and PDT), and improving diagnostics via computed tomography (CT), photoacoustic and magnetic resonance imaging. This review summarizes recent progresses, including synthesis, characterization approach, and applications of defect-engineered 2D nanomaterials that are potentially useful in cancer treatment. The expert opinions are also proposed as the conclusion.
