In this approach, Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is originated from hepatocytes cell, which can spread several parts in the body. It increases the death rate of cancer patients and more common in men rather than female. Patients having large tumor are growing through expensive treatment such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. Nano medicine such as nano-dimensional particles as well as quantum dots might be an alternative treatment with greater efficiency in cancer biology field. Modification of surface and chemical properties of cadmium groups quantum dots can easily penetrate into the cancer cell without harming normal tissues. Here, Cadmium-Selenium Quantum Dot nanomaterials (CdSe QDs) have been prepared in solution phase with 0.1 M concentration, which was potentially applied for the destroying of HepG2 cancer cell with 24 hour and 36 hour of incubation. Due to their size, surface properties, lower cost, QDs can easily attached to the cell and able to damage the cells more rapidly <i>in vitro</i> process. For cell death, gene expression and morphological changing analysis were completed MTT, Flow Cytometry, qRT-PCR assay. Finally, the cell deaths were observed by cell shrinkage, rupture of membrane and expression of apoptotic gene (Bcl2, Beta catenin, Bax) were positive comparing untreated HepG2 cell line.

We report a 72 years old hypertensive female, treated with enalapril 10 mg/day and hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg/day during three years. She presented a depressive disorder and cytalopram was prescribed in a dose of 10 mg/day. Two weeks before admission, a serum electrolyte analysis disclosed normal results and the cytalopram dose was increased to 20 mg/day. The patient was admitted with a hyponatremic encephalopathy with a plasma sodium of 100 mEq/L and a plasma potassium of 2.0 mEq/L. Cytalopram, enalapril and hydrochlorothiazide were discontinued, hypertonic NaCl and KCl were administered. The patient had a favorable evolution with a remarkable improvement of her symptoms.
MgTi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> (magnesium dititanate) nanoparticles were prepared by a simple hydrothermal assisted post-annealing method and characterized with various analytical techniques. The catalytic properties (sonocatalytic, photocatalytic and sonophotocatalytic activity) were evaluated using the degradation of triphenylmethane dyes (crystal violet, basic fuchsin, and acid fuchsin). The sonophotocatalytic activity of MgTi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> nanoparticles towards crystal violet was found to be ~2.9 times higher than the photocatalytic activity and ~20 times higher than that of the sonocatalytic processes. In addition, the sonophotocatalytic efficiency of MgTi<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub> nanoparticles was found to be remarkable for the degradation of basic fuchsin (cationic dye) and acid fuchsin (anionic dye). The mechanism of these catalytic activities has been discussed in detail.
