Protective Effects of Adipose Mesenchymal Stem Cell Secretome On Oxidative Stress-Induced Bisphenol-A in Isolated Rat Testes Mitochondria and Sperm Quality.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the potential protective effects of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell secretome (ASE) on oxidative stress triggered by Bisphenol-A (BisA) exposure in testicular mitochondria and sperm quality of rats.

Methods: Testicular tissue mitochondria and sperms were exposed to BisA (8 μM) and ASE (50 or 100 μg). ∆Ψm (mitochondrial membrane potential), reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, antioxidant biomarkers, and sperm parameters were measured.

Telepractice Parent Training of Enhanced Milieu Teaching With Phonological Emphasis (EMT+PE) For Persian-Speaking Toddlers With Nonsyndromic Cleft Palate: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Children born with a cleft palate with or without a cleft lip (CP/L) are at increased risk for delayed language development and speech sound disorders. Enhanced Milieu Teaching with Phonological Emphasis (EMT+PE) is a recommended naturalistic intervention for toddlers with CP/L. The parents' role in providing naturalistic interventions is critical and they need training based on learning principles to implement these interventions.

Hepatoprotective effects of Alpinia officinarum rhizome extract on cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity in rats: A biochemical, histopathological and immunohistochemical study.

Background: Alpinia officinarum is a member of the ginger family (Zingiberaceae), which is widely cultivated in Asia and traditionally used for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antihyperlipidemic qualities. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Alpinia officinarum rhizome extract (AORE) on cisplatin (CP)-induced hepatotoxicity in rats.

Methods: Forty-four male rats were divided into six groups including the control group, AORE control group, CP control group, and three groups of CP (7 mg/kg dose, on the 10th day) with AORE (at concentrations of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg, daily for 14 days).
