Abstract : Bioceramics, graphene oxide, and metal oxide-based biomaterials are intriguing prospects for hard tissue biomedical applications. Combining hydroxyapatite (HAP), graphene oxide (GO), and Zinc oxide (ZnO) to fabricate HAP/ZnO/GO nanocomposite presented a noticeable improvement in bioactivity biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity. The crystal lattice changes and structural arrangement of these nanocomposites are examined using XRD, TEM, and SEM. Moreover, the GO nanosheets, HAP, and ZnO bonding are reported in FTIR and XPS spectra. The TEM micrographs showed the nanocomposite structural alteration and revealed the uniformity of HAP and ZnO distribution into GO nanosheets with 10 nm in diameter and length of 25 nm. Furthermore, the SEM scan explained the porosity and integrated structure that showed a size of 0.3–1.4 μm. HAP/ZnO/GO roughness average reached 40.2 nm. The cell viability test for the nanocomposite revealed a high value of 99.5 ± 1.5%. The antibacterial property of HAP/ZnO/GO was confirmed with the reported inhibition zone of 20.4 ± 1 mm and 15.3 ± 1.1 mm against E. coli and S. aureus. Herein, combining HAP and ZnO with GO nanosheets alters morphological features and enhances roughness parameters of the fabricated nanocomposite. Besides structural porosity, cell adhesion and bioactivity improved. The resulting porous reinforced nanocomposite that showed excellent antibacterial activity is a biomaterial of interest in bone replacement utilization.

Authors : H. A. Alrafai,a Zehbah Ali Al-Ahmed,b M. K. Ahmed, cd M. Afifi,ce Kamel R. Shoueirf and Ahmed Abu-Rayyang
Abstract : The development of advanced compositions to remove contamination from water resources has become a global challenge in the last decades. Herein, nanofibrous membranes of polycaprolactone (PCL) incorporated with hydroxyapatite (HAP) that was modified with different amounts of Cu(II) ions have been fabricated. The structures, morphologies, and surface roughnesses of the constructed (Cu–HAP@PCL) membranes were characterized via a wide range of spectroscopic, microscopic, and surface science tools. Probing the surface morphology revealed that these membranes exist as networked fibers with various diameters ranging from 0.45–1.5 to 0.2–0.9 μm, along with maximum height roughnesses (Rt) of 266.2 to 463 nm for compositions having increased amounts of Cu(II) ions, respectively. The mechanical behavior results attested that the elasticity of the membranes was enhanced upon the addition of Cu(II) dopants, and the maximum strain before break reached nearly 125.59 ± 6.5% for the sample containing the highest Cu(II) content. As for biological applications, the fabricated Cu–HAP@PCL membranes showed powerful antibacterial potency, with activity areas of 14.5 ± 1.7 and 14.7 ± 1.6 mm achieved against E. coli and S. aureus, respectively. Further, the degradation efficiency of methylene blue (MB) dye indicated that the highest degradations of 88.6%, 89.4%, 91.0%, 91.1%, and 94.3% were accomplished after 70 min of irradiation under visible light using the fabricated Cu–HAP@PCL membranes. The efficient performance of the fabricated Cu–HAP@PCL membranes in biologically and environmentally related persistent problems encourages their potential utilization in wastewater management and microbial treatments.

Authors : Asma M.AlturkiaAhmedAbu-RayyanbKhamael M.Abualnajac DalalAlhashmialameercRasha A.El-SaeeddRehan M.El-Shabasye
Abstract : Biocomposites containing hydroxyapatite (HAP)/zirconia (ZrO2) were modified with different contents of copper ions using the co-precipitation technique. The phase identification is performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) while scanning electron micrographs (FESEM) showed surface morphology and exhibited that the grain size has changed from 0.17 to 0.43 μm for the lowest and the highest additional Cu2+ ions. Moreover, the average roughness has increased from 56.4 nm to 163.8 nm, while the maximum height of the roughness (Rt) increased from 503.9 to 878.9 nm for the lowest and the highest Cu2+ additions. Furthermore, the microhardness has been investigated and exhibited a significant improvement of 2.1 ± 0.1 to 4.6 ± 0.3 GPa for 0.0Cu–HAP@ZrO2 and 0.8Cu–HAP@ZrO2, respectively. Moreover, the corrosion rate decreases from 0.078 to 0.070 mm/y for the lowest and the highest modified copper ions. The cell viability has enhanced from 0.2C–HAP@ZrO2 composites achieved 88.04 ± 4%, which is the highest cell proliferation percentage. However, 0.8Cu–HAP@ZrO2 hit the highest values in both bacterial microorganisms, reaching 5.9 ± 0.6, 5.1 ± 0.4 mm. These significant antibacterial performances almost doubled from 0.2 to 0.8 of copper contribution is based on surface modification and amount of released reactive species that make it a promising bio applicable material.

Abstract : This study was conducted to assess the in vivo and ex vivo immunomodulatory effect of the ethanol leaves extract of Moringa peregrina in Balb/c mice. For this study, five groups of 5 Balb/c mice were given a single acute subtoxic oral dose of the ethanolic extract at 1.13, 11.30, 23.40 and 113.4 mg/kg and the immunomodulatory effect was assessed on the 6th day following the ingestion. In the (non-functional) assessment, the effect of the extract on the body weight, relative lymphoid organ weight, splenic cellularity and peripheral blood hematologic parameters were evaluated. While in the immunomodulation assessment (functional), we investigated the effect of the extract on the proliferative capacity of splenic lymphocytes and peripheral T and B lymphocytes using mitogen blastogenesis, mixed allogeneic MLR and IgM-Plaque forming cells assays. The ingestion of M. peregrina extract caused a significant increase in the body weight, weight and number of cells of spleen and lymph nodes of the treated mice. Furthermore, the count of RBCs, WBCs, platelets, hemoglobin concentration and PCV % were increased by the extract treatment in a dose-dependent manner. M. peregrina enhanced the proliferative responses of splenic lymphocytes for both T cell and B-cell mitogens. Likewise, the mixed lymphocyte reaction MLR assay has revealed a T-cell dependent proliferation enhancement in the extract treated mice. Moreover, the oral administration of M. peregrina leaves extracts significantly increased PFCs/106 splenocytes in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, subtoxic acute doses of M. peregrina extract demonstrated significant potential as an immunomodulatory agent even at the lowest dose of 1.13 mg/kg.

Authors : Ahmed Abu-rayyan Mohammed S. Almogbel - Mohammed A. Al-Anber
Abstract : The inorganic ferric ion has been successfully removed from water by adsorption Coal of Date Palm Seeds (CDPS).The adsorption experiments are carried out by a batch technique. The influences of adsorption conditions, such as initial concentration of ferric ion (30,50, 100, 150 and 200 mg L-1) the dosage of CDPS (2, 6, 10., 20, 30, 40 and 100 g L-1) temperature (25, 35 and 45 ºC) and contact time temperature increases; meanwhile, it decreases with increasing the initial concentration of ferric in water The maximum percentage removal achieved is 92 %. Depending on the adsorption thermodynamic model, the adsorption mechanism of aqueous ferric ion onto CDPS follows Freundlich isotherm model(R2= 0.986) The capacity (Kf) and intensity (n) of Freundlich adsorption are 2.119 and 0.377,respectively. The results reveal that the adsorption mechanism of ferric ion on CDPS solid particles is chemisorptions, heterogeneous multilayer, unfavorable (Rl =1.609) and spontaneous in nature (ΔG = 19.927 kJ mol -1 ). Adsorption of ferric ion onto CDPS solid particles has achieved Lagergren pseudo second order model (R2= 0.999) The kinetic parameters, rate constant, and sorption capacities have been calculated. The new information in this study suggests that CDPS could be used as a novel filtering materials for removing ferric ions from water.
