Purpose: We aimed to investigate the role of gallic acid treatment on spinal cord tissues after spinal cord injury (SCI) and its relationship with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress by histochemical, immunohistochemical, and in-silico techniques.
Methods: Thirty female Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups: sham, SCI, and SCI+gallic acid. SCI was induced by dropping a 15-g weight onto the exposed T10-T11 spinal cord segment.

Background: Our aim is to explore silymarin's protective effects against endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress via protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) modulation and elucidate potential enriched pathways through in silico analysis of silymarin-associated PERK protein interactors in cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury.
Materials And Methods: 30 rats were categorized into three groups: sham, IR and IR + silymarin groups. Cerebral IR damage was not induced.
Objective: We aimed to examine both the expression levels of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) proteins in the placentas of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and control groups by immunohistochemical (IHC) method.
Material And Methods: An experimental case-control study was conducted, including 40 pregnant women complicated with GDM and 40 healthy pregnant women. Placental tissues obtained following cesarean delivery were subjected to routine tissue monitoring.
In response to the insightful comments made by Dr. Abid et al. on our article "Investigation of Vitamin D Levels in Men with Suspected Infertility", we address several key points concerning the generalizability and methodology of our study.

The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of skimmianine on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Twenty-four female Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into three groups: Sham, Ischemia-Reperfusion (IR), and IR + Skimmianine (40 mg/kg Skimmianine). Cerebral ischemia was induced using a monofilament nylon suture to occlude the middle cerebral artery for 60 min.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Biochanin A on cerebral histopathology and blood-brain barrier immunohistochemically.
Methods: A total of 24 rats were assigned to three groups: sham, ischemia-reperfusion, and ischemia-reperfusion+Biochanin A.
Background: Originating from odontogenic tissue, Odontogenic cysts are pathological cavities lined with epithelial cells and surrounded by fibrous connective tissue. This study investigated expression of CITED1 protein in different types of odontogenic cysts.
Material And Method: 40 keratocysts, 40 radicular cysts, and 40 dentigerous cysts were excised and processed for routine paraffin wax embedding protocol.
Objectives: "Quality by Design" (QbD) is a novel approach to product development that involves understanding the product and process, as well as the relationship between critical quality attributes (CQA) and critical process parameters (CPP). This study aimed to optimize the gabapentin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticle formulation (GP-SLN) using a QbD approach and evaluate in vitro and ex vivo performance.
Materials And Methods: The GP-SLN formulation was created using the microemulsion method by combining Gelucire 48/16, Tween 80, and Plurol Oleique CC 497.
Objective: The current study aimed to explore the potential protective effect of Passiflora Incarnata L., (PI) in treating IR injury after testicular torsion in rats.
Materials And Methods: This research investigated the impact of PI on IR damage in male Wistar albino rats.
Male infertility may be caused by an impaired sperm functionality, with insufficient vitamin D levels affecting the quantity and development of motile sperm. Given the influence of vitamin D on vital aspects of male infertility, this study aimed to investigate the correlation between vitamin D levels and male infertility, along with exploring the possible mechanism of action. A total of 306 male participants were included.

This study aimed to investigate the antioxidant effect of Ellagic acid (EA) on wound healing in sodium hydroxide (NaOH)-induced corrosive esophageal burn injury. The interaction networks and functional annotations were conducted using Cytoscape software. A total of 24 Wistar albino rats were divided into control, corrosive esophageal burn (CEB) and CEB + EA groups.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the damage to the brain caused by external blow or jolt to the head or body. TBI secondarily induces cell damage in the hippocampus. This study aimed to investigate effects of resveratrol treatment histological examination and nuclear factor kappa B (NFκB) expression in hippocampus after TBI.

Background: This study aimed to investigate whether Passiflora Incarnata (PI) has a protective effect against ischemia-reperfu-sion (IR)-induced oxidative and inflammatory ovarian damage.
Methods: The effects of PI on ovarian ischemia-reperfusion injury were investigated in female Wistar albino rats. The animals were randomly divided into three groups: Group 1 (sham), Group 2 (IR), and Group 3 (IR+PI).
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease that has many adverse impacts on many systems including reproduction. The direct effects of COVID-19 on urogenital system are still open to argue. This study aimed to compare testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol (E2) hormone levels in COVID-19 infected male individuals with infertility suspicion.
