Evaluating the effectiveness of Pisolithus tinctorius in enhancing the Eucalyptus' resistance to salt stress.

Afforestation projects on saline land, using Eucalyptus trees and ectomycorrhizal fungi, are crucial for restoring affected areas and promoting ecological and economic benefits, particularly in saline-affected areas. This study was conducted to isolate Pisolithus sp. and estimate its potential to improve the growth performance of Eucalyptus globulus seedlings under salt-stress conditions.

Tuberculosis care provided by private practitioners in an urban setting in Indonesia: Findings from a standardized patient study.

In Indonesia, government-owned Community Health Centers (CHCs) spearhead tuberculosis (TB) care at the primary level, but a substantial proportion of individuals with pulmonary TB also seek care from Private Practitioners (PPs). However, little is known about PPs' practice in managing patients with TB-associated symptoms. To avoid bias associated with self-administered surveys, we used standardized patients (SPs) to evaluate PPs' adherence to the national TB guidelines.

Comprehensive Chemical Profiling and Mechanistic Insight into Anticancer Activity of Leaves Extract.

The aqueous extract of L. leaves was thoroughly analyzed using the UPLC-MS/MS, in addition to a new approach of examination of the extract's impact on cancer of EAC(Ehrlich ascites carcinoma) in albino male mice. The aim was to investigate the diversity of the phytochemical constituents of the aqueous leaf capsule extract and their impacts on EAC as anticancer agents.

Peripheral Blood B-Cell Subsets Frequency and Distribution and the BSF-2(IL-6) to CSIF:TGIF(IL-10) Ratio as Severity-Associated Signatures in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: A Case-Controlled Study.

Unlabelled: Although primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is a major cause of blindness worldwide, patients' immune response and its relation to the disease course have not been fully unraveled in terms of analyses of circulating B-cell subsets, as well as the association of these subsets with the severity of POAG clinical features.

Subjects And Methods: Flow cytometry was used to determine B-cell subset frequencies from 30 POAG patients grouped by hierarchical cluster analysis or the mean deviation (MD) of the visual field (VF) and correlated with the patients' clinical and pathological data, as well as with BSF-2(IL-6) and CSIF:TGIF(IL-10), which were quantified in peripheral blood samples of patients and controls by ELISA.

Results: The total B-cell frequency was increased in the POAG group in comparison to the control group (n = 30).

LCMS/MS Phytochemical Profiling, Molecular, Pathological, and Immune-Histochemical Studies on the Anticancer Properties of .

is a tropical plant that is well-known for its edible fruit of therapeutic interest. LCMS/MS analyses were applied to identify phytoconstituents of the ethanolic extract of the whole fruits and the aqueous extract of the edible fruit part, in addition to the investigation of their anticancer properties against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) in male albino mice. LCMS/MS analyses resulted in the identification of 388 components, representing a wide array of classes of compounds, including acetogenins as the major constituents, alkaloids, flavonoids, and phenolics.
