(commonly known as senna makkai or cassia senna), native to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Yemen and also extensively cultivated in Pakistan, is a medicinal herb used traditionally cure number of diseases like liver diseases, constipation, typhoid, cholera etc. This study was conducted evaluate the in-vitro antimicrobial, antioxidant anticancer assays phytochemical constituents aqueous organic extracts C. leaves.The antimicrobial activities (methanol, ethanol, acetone, ethyl...
ZnxCu1−xO (where x= 0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07 and 0.1 mol%) hierarchical nanostructures have been prepared via soft chemical route. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results of the synthesized samples reveal monoclinic structure CuO without any impurity related phases. The micro-structural parameters such as crystallite size microstrain strongly influenced by Zn doping. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses depict formation having average particle in range 26-43 nm. surface area has reduced...
The synthesis, physical, photocatalytic, and antibacterial properties of MgO graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) nanocomposites are reported. crystallinity, phase, morphology, chemical bonding, vibrational modes prepared nanomaterials studied. conductive nature GNPs is tailored via photocatalysis enhanced activity. It interestingly observed that the MgO/GNPs with optimized content show a significant photocatalytic activity (97.23% degradation) as compared to bare (43%) which makes it potential...
CuO nanostructures doped with Ce at different concentration levels have been synthesized via a simple co-precipitation technique. The prepared samples characterized by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV–visible absorption spectroscopy. Structural studies exhibit the presence of monoclinic structure for undoped without any additional impurity phases. SEM images revealed rod-like morphology an average diameter 30 nm CuO....
In this experimental approach, we explored the structures, morphologies, phototoxicities, and antibacterial activities of undoped Mn-doped ceria nanocomposite materials, Mn x Ce 1− O 2. The 2 nanocomposites were synthesized by employing a soft chemical route. Our prime focus was on influence different factors, both physical chemical, i.e., concentration manganese in product, size nanocomposite, drug dose, incubation time, bacterial strains. Different strains selected as biological models...
NiO-nanoflakes grafted graphene provides exciting solution to decontaminate dyes polluted water alongside being a novel bactericidal nanomaterial.
An accumulating body of evidence reports the synthesis and biomedical applications silver nanoparticles. However, studies regarding use maleic acid citric in nano-sized particles (AgNPs) micro-sized (AgMPs) as well their antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer activities have not been reported. In current study, we synthesized AgNPs AgMPs using capping agents characterized them by UV-Vis, energy-dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDS), diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM)...
The exceptional conducting nature of graphene makes it a viable candidate for enhancing the effectiveness photocatalytic and biomedical nanomaterials. Herein, immobilization monodispersed silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles on multiple layers is demonstrated intercalation nanoplatelets (GNPs). Interestingly, loading with SiO2 enhances efficiency from 46% to 99%. For applications, found that 75% Gram positive 50% negative bacteria have been killed, hence bacterial proliferation significantly...

Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) micrographs shown formation decreasing trend length diameter as result doping....
Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been a growing epidemic worldwide and poses major socio-economic challenge. The leading cause of DM death is nephropathy due to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study aims identify the possible association I/D variants ACE gene M268T (rs699) AGT renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS).Study subjects include 115 patients with DM, 110 diabetic (DN) controls. Fasting blood samples were collected for biochemical analyses PCR amplification specific regions genes...
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the complications type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) that decreases quality life T2DM patients. Very few studies have found an association between development and progression DPN in angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphisms. Using gene-specific primers a polymerase chain reaction, presence ACE I/D polymorphisms was screened for 276 patients with DPN, 496 without 331 control (non-diabetic) subjects. The...
