Thank for approaching this article. This show that you are curious to better understand of tinnitus than other and most people, you know what most people have not even heard the term tinnitus. Even those who are familiar with tinnitus are scared with myth and misinformation. I might want to take some of your golden times to break the myth that surround tinnitus.
Myth no 1: Tinnitus is a symptom of a serious illness of ears.
The fact: while tinnitus has a range of about several possible causes this is mainly not the case. If you experience symptoms of tinnitus it is very important to get a checkup from the doctor or an expert in this field like the Ears, Nose and Throat Specialist (ENT), who can identify and address the causes and confirm if you suffering from this diseases .
Myth no 2: Suffering tinnitus means you are going deaf, or it is causing you to hearing lost.
The fact: About 90% of people who have tinnitus do have some level of hearing damage. Although tinnitus can be a symptom of hearing lost but actually many people with tinnitus have normal hearing - just the same as many people with hearing loss do not have tinnitus. In some cases having buzzing in your ears or tinnitus does not mean you are going to be deaf. Ask the expert in this field like the ENT specialist if you are still doubt.
Myth no 3: Tinnitus usually disappears by itself without any treatments.
The fact: This depends on what condition on potential hearing damage you have. Since hearing damage is often the first causes of tinnitus, If you have buzzing, hissing, whistling in the ears due to short-term noise exposure for example, after hearing a massive blow, after going to firing range- it might go away within a week.
However if you hear the buzzing sound constantly from your ears longer than a few weeks or month, there is a strong possibility that your tinnitus may be long-term. In this case do not wait it until it gets worse. Go to see the specialist and schedule your exam with the specialist for further treatments.

Research of Cell Membrane Nano Drug Delivery System and Its Application in Bionic Nanomedicine
Most of the old drugs are currently limited in their effectiveness because of poor pharmacokinetics, simple clearance by the body and cytotoxicity. Nanoparticle technology in particular, Nano drug delivery system is getting a lot of attention and application in medicine in the recent years. Since it is small (1100nm), targets well, and stays in the circulation long enough, NPs are a good candidate as a drug carrier, enabling an enhanced in vivo targeting capability and less n
