Caftaric acid attenuates kidney and remote organ damage induced by renal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Oxidative stress and inflammation are indispensable components of ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. In this study, we investigated the effects of low and high doses of caftaric acid (CA) on reducing kidney and remote organ damage induced by IR. We divided Wistar rats into four groups: sham, IR, low (40 mg/kg body weight (BW)), and high (80 mg/kg BW) CA groups.

Protective Effects of Baicalein and Bergenin Against Gentamicin-Induced Hepatic and Renal Injuries in Rats: An Immunohistochemical and Biochemical Study.

Background: Drug-induced organ toxicity is a significant health concern, with gentamicin known for its effective antibacterial properties but also severe side effects, particularly cytotoxicity in liver and kidney tissues. This current study observed the preventive role of baicalein and bergenin against hepatic and renal injuries caused by gentamicin in rats.

Methods: Thirty-two male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups, namely, control, gentamicin (gentamicin 80 mg/kg/day), baicalein (gentamicin 80 mg/kg/day + baicalein 100 mg/kg/day) and bergenin (gentamicin 80 mg/kg/day + bergenin 100 mg/kg/day).

Risk factors and rates of revision amputation following ischemic lower major limb amputations: A 10-year retrospective analysis.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the rates and risk factors associated with revision amputation following ischemic lower major limb amputations, focusing on cases related to peripheral arterial disease.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included 253 patients (174 males, 79 females; mean age: 73.1±12.

Assessment of sinapic acid's protective effects against ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in rats.

This study evaluates the protective effects of sinapic acid (SA), a polyphenolic compound with diverse biological activities, against ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in rats. A gastric ulcer model was established using ethanol (ETH), and the experimental groups received either omeprazole (OMEP, 20 mg/kg) or SA at doses of 20 mg/kg and 40 mg/kg via oral gavage for 14 days. Biochemical markers, including total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI), malondialdehyde (MDA), and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, were assessed alongside proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and IL-6) using ELISA.

Novel Aminothiazole-chalcone Analogues: Synthesis, Evaluation Acetylcholinesterase Activity, In silico Analysis.

In this study, novel thiazole-chalcone analogs were synthesized, and their inhibitory effects on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were examined. In vitro enzyme activity studies were conducted to calculate IC50 values, which were found to range between 2.55-72.
