...Show More Authors

Alot of medical and industrial applications used the metal nanoparticles (NPs) with increase interest to be used as cancer therapy. The current work aimed to prepare AuNPs and AgNPs through the use of plasma jet and test their antitumor mechanism of apoptosis induction. The results indicating the face-centered cubic structures and crystalline nature of AuNPs and AgNPs. Also, the image of FESEM showed that the well dispersions regarding AuNPs and AgNPs, while the NP’s spherical shape with the particle size distributions which are considered to be close that estimated from the XRD. cytotoxicity have been assessed against the Normal embryonic cell line REF and the digestive system (HC , SK-GT-4) cell lines under a variety of the series dilute of the Ag and Au NPs (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50 and 100%), have been determined through a microtetrazolium (MTT) assay. The capacity of Ag and Au NPs to induce apoptosis to an infected cell has been studied by crystal violet stain to measure the percentage of induction of apoptosis. In cases where 100 μg\ml Au NP concentrations are 69.60 percent, the maximum cytotoxicity of the HC cell line was reported, while 100 μg\ml Au NP was 69.20% for the SKg cell line exposure. qRT-PCR in AuNPs and AgNPs treated of (HC and SKG) cell lines revealed a remarkable in the expression of BAX, BCL2 and AIF, Endo G (independent pathway).

Synthesis and characterization of Silver nanoparticles: A review
...Show More Authors

In the current century, nanotechnology has gained great interest due to its ability to modify the size of metals to the nanoscale, which dramatically changes the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of metals relative to their bulk counterparts. The approaches used to create nanoparticles (NPs) are physical, و chemical and وbiological. The shortcomings in physical and chemical synthesis approaches, such as the generation of toxic by-products, and energy consume as they require high temperature, pressure, power and lethal chemicals, contributed to an increased interest in biological synthesis by plants. Scientists have created a new filed called as "green nanotechnology" by fusing the idea of sustainability with nanotechno

Spectroscopic and Thermal Properties for Exploding Silver Wire Plasma in Deionized Water
...Show More Authors

    The goal of this research is to use optical emission spectroscopy to investigate the parameters of exploding silver wire plasma. The silver discharge plasma's emission spectra were recorded and studied. For silver wire of diameter 0.4 mm and different currents 75,100, and 125A in deionized water, the plasma electron temperature ( ) was calculated by Boltzmann plot and container plasma medium temperature by thermal camera, and the electron density ( ) was computed by Stark broadening using the hydrogen (H line) at 656.279 nm With increasing current from 75 to 125 A, the electron density (ne) increased from 3.160×  to 8.762×   , while electron temperatures increased from 0.571 to 1.334 eV under the same conditions.

Utilizing Cold Plasma in Preparing Silver Nanoparticle from Origanum Vulgare
...Show More Authors

     In this research, we obtained nanoparticles (NPs) using a type of microwave (cold plasma) and water extract from Origanum vulgare with the addition of silver nitrate (AgNO3) solution. Silver nanoparticles are characterized by high production techniques. Experimental factors such as morphology, structure, optical properties and active compounds of the nanoparticle extract were studied through specific tests such as morphology, UV spectroscopy, FE-SEM, FT-IR, and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Plants were used in manufacturing the nanoparticles, as plants are well known for their accessibility and applicability in different pathological areas. The current research provides information on the Green Union System of N

Scavenging of Free Radicals Generated in Biological Tissues Exposed to Ionizing Radiation Using Silver Nanoparticles
...Show More Authors

Humans are exposed to nuclear radiations every day, and these radiations are both natural and artificial. When the body tissues are exposed to nuclear radiation, free radicals are formed, which are responsible for cancer development. In this research, silver nanoparticles were synthesized by electrical explosion wire method. Nanoparticles were added to deionized water that contained free radicals before and after exposure to gamma rays. The obtained results indicate that the silver nanoparticles have antioxidant potential through possessing free radical scavenging activity, as they can donate electron to free radicals and become neutralize. Then, these nanoparticles were injected to mice before and after their irradiation with gamma ray.

Improve Wettability of Polycaprolactone (PCL) /Chitosan of Wound Dressings by Plasma Jet
...Show More Authors

Surface wettability plays a significant role in determining the function of the wound dressing. They should have hydrophobic surfaces  for the adsorption of bacteria and  a hydrophilic surface  necessary to improve cell attachment for most anchorage-dependent cell types. Furthermore, the Hydrophobicity / Hydrophilicity of the surface can be used to direct cellular processes such as cell initial correlation, adhesion, and migration during wound healing, as a result such surface can change its surface wettability which increases the dressing's usefulness.

In this research, nanomembres were prepared from polycaprolactone and chitosan solution (with different amounts of CS (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4) % (w/w)) by the electrospinning m

Preparation of Al2O3 /PVA Nanocomposite Thin Films by a Plasma Jet Method
...Show More Authors

Alumina thin films have significant applications in the areas of optoelectronics, optics, electrical insulators, sensors and tribology. The novel aspect of this work is that the homogeneous alumina thin films were prepared in several stages to generate a plasma jet. In this paper, aluminium nanoparticles suspended in vinyl alcohol were prepared using exploding wire plasma. TEM analysis was used to determine the size and shape of particles in aluminium and vinyl alcohol suspensions; the TEM images showed that the particle size is 17.2 nm. Aluminium/poly vinyl alcohol (Al/PVA) thin films were prepared using this suspension on quartz substrate by plasma jet technique at room temperature with an argon gas flow rate of 1 L/min. The Al/PV

Comparison Study of Plasma-Activated Water and Plasma Jet Effects on Escherichia coli Bacteria for the Disinfection of Tooth Root Canal
...Show More Authors

This study compares the effects of plasma jet and plasma-activated water on teeth root canals contaminated with Escherichia coli bacteria. A plasma jet system was developed for biological purposes that operate at atmospheric pressure. The plasma jet works with argon gas and is generated by a power supply, which supplies a sinusoidal alternating voltage of 12 kV of 20 kHz frequency. The system was optically diagnosed, as it was found that the peaks of the nitrogen spectrum were obtained at the wavelength (300- 450) nm with the appearance of hydroxide peaks at 380 nm. Extracted teeth with one root canal were used, which were contaminated with bacteria and divided into two groups to be treated with a plasma jet and plasma-activated
