The impact of triadimenol on male fertility: An in vitro study and molecular docking examination.

Triadimenol, a triazole fungicide, induces various adverse effects including neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and developmental/reproductive toxicity in non-target organisms. Occupational exposure generally occurs in male agricultural workers. Investigating the effects of triadimenol on three different testicular cell lines would be valuable in elucidating the mechanisms underlying male reproductive issues or infertility.

Bilateral ectopic third molars in maxillary sinus associated with dentigerous cyst identified with ophthalmic, nasal and maxillary complication: A rare case report.

Etopic tooth eruption is the occurrence of the tooth germ in a nonanatomical position. It can be associated with dentigerous cyst, which is the second most seen in the development of odontogenic cyst commonly presented in mandibular region and seen in single form. It is usually accompanied with mandibular third molar followed by canine.

Association between genetic polymorphism and levothyroxine bioavailability in hypothyroid patients.

Thyroid hormones play a vital role in the human body for growth and differentiation, regulation of energy metabolism, and physiological function. Hypothyroidism is a common endocrine disorder, which generally results from diminished normal circulating concentrations of serum thyroxine (fT4) and triiodothyronine (fT3). The primary choice in hypothyroidism treatment is oral administration of levothyroxine (L-T4), a synthetic T4 hormone, as approximately 100-125 μg/day.

CYP2C9, CYPC19 and CYP2D6 gene profiles and gene susceptibility to drug response and toxicity in Turkish population.

Pharmacogenetics is a vast field covering drug discovery research, the genetic basis of pharmacokinetics and dynamics, genetic testing and clinical management in diseases. Pharmacogenetic approach usually focuses on variations of drug transporters, drug targets, drug metabolizing enzymes and other biomarker genes. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, an essential source of variability in drug-response, play role in not only phase I-dependent metabolism of xenobiotics but also metabolism of endogenous compounds such as steroids, vitamins and fatty acids.

The genetic profiles of CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 enzymes as susceptibility factor in xenobiotic toxicity in Turkish population.

Evaluation and sequencing of heritable alterations in the human genome and the large-scale identification of gene polymorphism for understanding the genetic background of individuals in response to potential toxicants are provided by toxicogenetics. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes play role not only phase I-dependent metabolism of xenobiotics but also metabolism of endogenous compounds. CYP1A1, CYP1A2 and CYP2E1 enzymes, which are in phase I enzymes, are responsible for metabolic activation and detoxification of several chemical compounds.

Investigation of the toxicity of bismuth oxide nanoparticles in various cell lines.

Nanoparticles have been drawn attention in various fields ranging from medicine to industry because of their physicochemical properties and functions, which lead to extensive human exposure to nanoparticles. Bismuth (Bi)-based compounds have been commonly used in the industrial, cosmetic and medical applications. Although the toxicity of Bi-based compounds was studied for years, there is a serious lack of information concerning their toxicity and effects in the nanoscale on human health and environment.

Genetic Variations in Phospholipase C-epsilon 1 (PLCE1) and Susceptibility to Colorectal Cancer Risk.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cause of cancer-related mortality and causes almost a million deaths worldwide each year. Genetic and environmental factors have gained importance in CRC as well as other types of cancer due to contribution to development of malignancies. Phosholipase C-epsilon 1 PLCE1 is one of the phospholipase family of enzymes and controls cellular responses leading to cell growth, differentiation and gene expression.

In Vitro Toxicological Assessment of Magnesium Oxide Nanoparticle Exposure in Several Mammalian Cell Types.

Worldwide researchers have rising concerns about magnesium-based materials, especially magnesium oxide (MgO) nanaoparticles, due to increasing usage as promising structural materials in various fields including cancer treatment. However, there is a serious lack of information about their toxicity at the cellular and molecular levels. In this study, the toxic potentials of MgO nanoparticles were investigated on liver (HepG2), kidney (NRK-52E), intestine (Caco-2), and lung (A549) cell lines.

Mutagenicity of bisbenzimidazole derivatives.

The mutagenicities of 2,2'-(di-3-hydroxyphenyl)-1H,1H'-[5,5']-bisbenzimidazole, 2,2'-(di-4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H,1H'-[5,5']-bisbenzimidazole, 2,2'-(di-3-methoxyphenyl)-1H,1H'-[5,5']-bisbenzimidazole, 2,2'-bis-(4-nitrophenyl)-1H,1H'-[5,5']-bisbenzimidazole, 2,2'-bis-(3-nitrophenyl)-1H,1H'-[5,5']-bisbenzimidazole, 2,2'-bis-(4-methylphenyl)-1H,1H'-[5,5']-bisbenzimidazole, 2,2'-(di-4-methoxyphenyl)-1H,1H'-[5,5']-bisbenzimidazole, and 2,2'-bis-(3-methylphenyl)-1H,1H'-[5,5']-bisbenzimidazole were studied in vitro using two strains of Salmonella typhimurium with frameshift mutation (TA98) and base-pair substitution mutation (TA100) as the plate incorporation assay in the absence of metabolic activation. These compounds are currently used to treat cancer. 4-Nitrophenyl and 3-nitrophenyl compounds were found to be mutagenic on both strains of Salmonella.
