Electron beam irradiation developed cinnamon oil- (polyvinyl alcohol/gum tragacanth)/graphene oxide dressing hydrogels: Antimicrobial and healing assessments.

This study aimed to develop hydrogel dressings for wound healing composed of gum tragacanth (TG) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) loaded with Graphene oxide (GO) and Cinnamon oil (CMO) using electron beam irradiation. The impact of the preparation conditions and the incorporation of GO and CMO on the characteristic properties of the prepared CMO-(PVA/TG)-GO wound dressings was evaluated. The healing-related characteristics were assessed, including fluid absorption and retention, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), hemolytic assay, and antimicrobial potential.

The effectiveness of in the preservation of periodontium after radiation therapy: An experimental animal study.

Background: Radiation therapy produces reactive oxygen species, which have been linked to various degenerative conditions in periodontal attachment. This study aimed to assess the beneficial effects of aqueous leaf extract on the periodontium of albino rats exposed to fractionated gamma radiation.

Materials And Methods: This experimental study involved 24 adult male albino rats divided into three groups: Group M received leaf extract (300 mg/kg) intraperitoneally for 14 days; Group R received 20 Gy fractionated gamma irradiation; and Group MR received the same regimen as Group M and then fractionated gamma irradiation dose as Group R.

E-beam irradiation-induced synthesis of hydroxyethyl cellulose/(CuO-rGO)/BiVO-based nanocomposite for photocatalytic remediation of wastewater under visible light.

Using E-beam irradiation as an eco-friendly technique for initiation and crosslinking, a series of Hydroxyethyl Cellulose-poly vinyl alcohol copolymer hydrogels were synthesized as templates for cuprous oxide (CuO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and bismuth vanadate (BiVO) nanoparticles to be used as nanocomposites photocatalysts for methylene blue (MB) dye decolorization using visible light. Preparation conditions were optimized to ensure the construction of a good network architecture and therefore the highest gelation degree. For the preparation of (CuO@rGO)/BiVO nanocomposites, a series of rGO was decorated by CuO using the precipitation method, followed by mixing with BiVO which was synthesized hydrothermally.

Radiation synthesis and photocatalytic performance of floated graphene oxide decorated ZnO/ alginate-based beads for methylene blue degradation under visible light irradiation.

Organic dye contamination, emanating from pharmaceutical, paper, and textile industries into water resources, severely threatens marine and human life even at low concentrations. Photocatalysis is one of the most important remediation techniques that decolorize water by employing the power of light. In this work, the development of floated beads of Sodium Alginate/hydroxyethyl methacrylate (Alg-g-HEMA) encompass graphene oxide (GO) decorated Zinc oxide (ZnO) utilizing ionizing radiation was designed to function as a photocatalyst when exposed to visible light.
