Biosynthesis of selenium nanoparticles, characterization and X-ray induced radiotherapy for the treatment of lung cancer with interstitial lung disease

Publication date: Available online 11 December 2018Source: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: BiologyAuthor(s): Liza Yue Cruz, Di Wang, Jiwei LiuAbstractSelinium nanoparticles (SeNPs) with minimal toxicity and efficient antioxidant properties were reported earlier for their anti-carcinogenic influence against various types of cancers, thus elevating its potential. In the present study, the anti-carcinogenic effect of selenium nanoparticles against lung cancer was studied. Selenium nanoparticles were biosynthesized and were characterized using UV- Vis absorption spectroscopy. A decrease in the absorption intensity was recorded with the increase in time, which represented the protein consumption during the reduction of SeO32− to Se0. The calculated average crystalline size from ...
