Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the extremely usual reason of chronic liver disease, extending from simple hepatic steatosis (HS), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to advanced hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis. Though orlistat is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug for long-duration management of obesity, few cases of severe hepatic insult were declared. Melatonin is an efficient antioxidant; it also regulates metabolic processes that lead to fat accumulation and obesity.

Article Synopsis
  • This study explored the grafting of a new monomer, Br-PS, onto sodium alginate (Alg) using free radical polymerization to create a novel material, poly (Br-PS)-g-Alg.
  • Key parameters for the polymerization process, such as concentrations, duration, and temperature, were optimized, and the resulting polymer was characterized through various methods including FT-IR, H NMR, and SEM.
  • The poly (Br-PS)-g-Alg showed effective cytotoxicity against specific cancer cell lines while maintaining selectivity, and it demonstrated potential for drug delivery applications, specifically for the controlled release of 5-fluorouracil.

Utilizing naringenin as a safe, natural compound for reducing graphene oxide and to determine whether Nar-RGO more effectively mitigates the harmful effects of HFFD-induced NAFLD compared to crude naringenin. Using a straightforward experimental setup, we utilize the bioactive flavonoid naringenin (NAR) as the reducing agent to synthesize naringenin-reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (Nar-RGO). Naringenin loading on graphene oxide was validated using electroscopic methods (SEM and TEM) and zeta potential measurements.

Article Synopsis
  • Minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS) reduces tissue damage through small incisions and advanced techniques, leading to benefits like less blood loss and shorter hospital stays compared to traditional open surgery.
  • * A systematic review of literature from Jan 2013 to Mar 2024 analyzed complications related to MISS, finding that various complications (like nerve injuries and cerebrospinal fluid leaks) depend on the specific surgical approach (cervical, thoracic, or lumbar).
  • * Although MISS generally lowers the risk of anatomical disruption, certain complications can still occur; the use of intraoperative monitoring and advanced technology may reduce these risks further, establishing MISS as a safe alternative to open surgery.

  • Degenerative spondylolisthesis is a common cause of chronic back pain in adults, and while the standard treatment is open decompression with or without fusion, there is growing interest in the effectiveness of full endoscopic spine surgery as an alternative.
  • A study involving 73 patients with low-grade degenerative spondylolisthesis revealed that after undergoing lumbar endoscopic unilateral laminectomy, 70 patients experienced significant improvement in symptoms and pain levels at various follow-up periods (3, 9, and 12 months).
  • The results indicate that this endoscopic approach is a safe option for treating patients with severe stenosis due to low-grade degenerative spondylolisthesis, suggesting the

MiRNAs are short non-coding RNA molecules that have been shown to affect a vast number of genes at the post-transcriptional level, hence regulating several signaling pathways. Because the miRNA-34 family regulates a number of different signaling pathways, including those linked to cancer, the immune system, metabolism, cellular structure, and neurological disorders, it has garnered a great deal of attention from researchers. Members of the miRNA-34 family have been shown to inhibit tumors in a variety of cancer types.

The recent study delves into the role of both liraglutide and/or resveratrol on the nephropathic affection in rats treated with cyclosporine A (CsA). Rats were intoxicated with CsA (25 mg/kg) orally for 21 days and were supplemented with liraglutide (30 μg/kg) s/c daily and 20 mg/kg of resveratrol (20 mg/kg) orally. At the end of the experiment, serum samples and renal tissues were collected to determine renal damage markers, apoptotic markers, proinflammatory markers, and antioxidant status markers.

  • Researchers isolated a cellulase-producing bacterium, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain elh, from rice peel and used optimization methods like one-variable-at-a-time (OVAT) and response surface methodology (RSM) to increase cellulase production.* -
  • Initial cellulase activity was 0.141 U/ml, but after optimization, the peak activity reached 14.04 U/ml, and the optimal fermentation time was identified as 72 hours using specific nitrogen and sugar sources.* -
  • The cellulase-encoding gene (egl) was successfully cloned and expressed in E. coli, resulting in an activity of 22.3 U/ml, and in silico analysis showed key interactions between cellulase and

A significant amount of dye runoff and aqueous waste are released from the manufacturing process of dyes with intense and permanent colors, which are undesirable from a cultural and ecological aspect. In this paper, we present a green, simple, low-effort, and energy-efficient method of creating magnetized cubic Zn-MOFs for the adsorption and elimination of various organic dyes. Magnetic iron oxide materials with a hierarchical structure were loaded and doped into cubic zinc metal-organic frameworks (MDLZ).

Background: Hydrocarbon pollution stemming from petrochemical activities is a significant global environmental concern. Bioremediation, employing microbial chitinase-based bioproducts to detoxify or remove contaminants, presents an intriguing solution for addressing hydrocarbon pollution. Chitooligosaccharides, a product of chitin degradation by chitinase enzymes, emerge as key components in this process.

Tranexamic acid (TXA) has long been utilized in spine surgery and can be administered through intravenous (IV) and topical routes. Although, topical and IV administration of TXA are both effective in decreasing blood loss during spine surgery, complications like deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism have been reported with the use of intravenous TXA (ivTXA). These potential complications may be mitigated through the use of topical TXA (tTXA).

Purpose: Breast cancer is one of the leading types of cancer diagnosed in women. Despite the improvements in chemotherapeutic cure strategies, drug resistance is still an obstacle leading to disease aggressiveness. The small non-coding RNA molecules, miRNAs, have been implicated recently to be involved as regulators of gene expression through the silencing of mRNA targets that contributed to several cellular processes related to cancer metastasis.
