Aptamer-Functionalized Nano-Biosensors

Nanomaterials have become one of the most interesting sensing materials because of their unique size- and shape-dependent optical properties, high surface energy and surface-to-volume ratio, and tunable surface properties. Aptamers are oligonucleotides that can bind their target ligands with high affinity. The use of nanomaterials that are bioconjugated with aptamers for selective and sensitive detection of analytes such as small molecules, metal ions, proteins, and cells has been demonstrated. This review focuses on recent progress in the development of biosensors by integrating functional aptamers with different types of nanomaterials, including quantum dots, magnetic nanoparticles (NPs), metallic NPs, and carbon nanotubes. Colorimetry, fluorescence, electrochemistry, surface plasmon resonance, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and magnetic resonance imaging are common detection modes for a broad range of analytes with high sensitivity and selectivity when using aptamer bioconjugated nanomaterials (Apt-NMs). We highlight the important roles that the size and concentration of nanomaterials, the secondary structure and density of aptamers, and the multivalent interactions play in determining the specificity and sensitivity of the nanosensors towards analytes. Advantages and disadvantages of the Apt-NMs for bioapplications are focused

Reporte de caso: efecto de la fisioterapia en un paciente canino mestizo con paraparesia por fractura de vértebra torácica 11 en Florencia, Caquetá

A case addressed Florencia, Caquetá, Colombia of a female about two years old canine patient was found prostrate in the street and sent for emergency veterinary center where examinations by semiotic paraparesis evidenced described. Radiological examinations of latero-lateral and dorsal-ventral view which is evidenced fracture of the vertebra T11 and finally this condition is attributed as the cause of the paraparesis request. Drug therapy with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and Meloxicam pretending reverse the inflammatory process in the spinal cord caused by the fracture and thereby recover the functionality of the motor nerve fibers and sensory found that intact always starts. Drug therapy was accompanied with physiotherapy arriving to observe excellent results in a few weeks since the animal achievement regain full mobility in his hindquarters
