Chemical warfare victims suffer from bronchiolitis and chronic pulmonary obstruction caused by sulfur mustard (SM) toxicity. Despite the mesenchymal stem cells capacity to alleviate inflammation, their low survival rate under oxidative stress severely limits their effectiveness. This study aimed to examine how natural (Crocin) and synthetic (Dexamethasone) antioxidants might affect MSC efficacy.

- The debate on the impacts of nicotine and cigarette smoke on diseases like COVID-19 is intensifying, with studies showing that smokers may be at higher risk for infections but also reporting a lower incidence of COVID-19 disease.
- Current research indicates that nicotine has a dual nature, acting both as an inflammatory and an anti-inflammatory agent, which complicates understanding its effects on COVID-19.
- It's crucial to differentiate between the effects of pure nicotine and cigarette smoke in studies and consider factors like dosage and underlying health conditions for more accurate health guidelines and treatment approaches.
Objectives: Hepatitis B virus infection causes chronic disease such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The metabolomics investigations have been demonstrated to be related to pathophysiologic mechanisms in many disorders such as hepatitis B infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the saliva metabolic profile of patients with chronic hepatitis B infection and to identify underlying mechanisms as well as potential biomarkers associated with the disease.

Aim: We aimed to determine these parameters in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease using pro-oxidant antioxidant balance assay.
Background: In human, pro-oxidants and antioxidants are normally produced and there is a balance between production and deletion of them. When the balance between oxidants and antioxidants are disrupted oxidative stress occurs.
