    The green synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles is an efficient, simple, and chemical-free method of producing nanoparticles. The present work reports the synthesis of Murraya koenigii-mediated ZrO2 nanoparticles (ZrO2 NPs) and their applications as a photocatalyst and antibacterial agent. Capping and stabilization of metal oxide nanoparticles were achieved by using Murraya koenigii leaf extract. The optical, structural, and morphological valance of the ZrO2 NPs were characterized using UV-DRS, FTIR, XRD, and FESEM with EDX, TEM, and XPS. An XRD analysis determined that ZrO2 NPs have a monoclinic structure and a crystallite size of 24 nm. TEM and FESEM morphological images confirm the spherical nature of ZrO2 NPs, and their distributions on surfaces show lower agglomerations. ZrO2 NPs showed high optical absorbance in the UV region and a wide bandgap indicating surface oxygen vacancies and charge carriers. The presence of Zr and O elements and their O=Zr=O bonds was categorized using EDX and FTIR spectroscopy. The plant molecules’ interface, bonding, binding energy, and their existence on the surface of ZrO2 NPs were established from XPS analysis. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue using ZrO2 NPs was examined under visible light irradiation. The 94% degradation of toxic MB dye was achieved within 20 min. The antibacterial inhibition of ZrO2 NPs was tested against S. aureus and E. coli pathogens. Applications of bio-synthesized ZrO2 NPs including organic substance removal, pathogenic inhibitor development, catalysis, optical, and biomedical development were explored.

    Materials with external dimensions of one or more nanometers are referred to as nanomaterials. These structures result from a number of manufacturing processes. They are used in many industries, including pharmaceuticals, which is the most significant one. Numerous variables, including size, shape, surface morphology, crystallinity, solubility, etc., affect physical properties. While new physical and chemical processes are being created constantly, the biological method is the ideal strategy for synthesizing nanoparticles since it is straightforward, safe, and economical. Different kinds of nanoparticles can be metabolically synthesized by a wide variety of biological sources, including plants, bacteria, fungi, and yeast. There are many biomolecules, including proteins and coenzymes, that can change the metal salts into the necessary nanoparticles. There were numerous techniques for creating RNA nanoparticles. The first tactic makes use of the natural RNA nanoparticles' collection process. The second strategy entails extending the widely used DNA nanotechnology approach to the field of RNA; the third strategy uses computational methods to produce RNA nanoparticles; and the fourth strategy uses preexisting RNA structures or those with known properties as fundamental building blocks in the synthesis of RNA nanoparticles. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the significance of RNA nanotechnology, a novel idea in the field of nanotechnology.

    Colorectal cancer account as the third frequent carcinoma worldwide. It is expected that most cases of CRC occur sporadically (70–80%), while around 15% of CRC case resulted from inherited factors, such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma (HNPCC). A total of (60) samples collected from Gastroenterology and Liver diseases teaching hospital from April 2018 to July 2018. The aim of this present study to was to detect association of polymorphism GST1 gene (on chromosome 20) with the risk of cancer Iraq patients and compare between GST1 gene of Iraq population with gene bank of NCBI. Examine oxidative stress and antioxidant status, and Interleukin-17 of Colorectal cancer patients. A significant decrease in the IL-17A and MDA levels were showed in control compared to patients. The levels of GSH show a highly significant change in control compared to patients. The results show substitution three Transversion G>C, one Transition G>A of GST1gene and showed 99% identified with a standard in Gene Bank from patients group while having 100% identified with a standard in Gene Bank with the control group.
