This study examined the potential of vanillic acid (VA) to protect against renal oxidative stress and inflammation caused by sodium arsenite (SA) in mice. Mice were assigned to five groups: control, VA (100 mg/kg), SA (50 ppm in drinking water for 8 weeks), and SA + VA (50 and 100 mg/kg orally in the 7th and 8th weeks). After the experiment was ended, the Mice were sacrificed and serum and renal tissue samples were collected for additional assessments.

Article Synopsis
  • Scorpion venom is rich in biologically active peptides and proteins, leading researchers to analyze the venom gland transcriptome of a specific Iranian scorpion to explore medicinal applications and antivenom production.
  • The study used advanced techniques such as Illumina RNA-Seq and bioinformatics to provide a high-quality assembly of 101,180 transcripts from the venom gland, showing a significant presence of complete arthropod BUSCOs.
  • The analysis identified a variety of active peptides and proteins relevant to neurology and inflammation, including ion channel inhibitors, neurotoxins, and different isoforms of a specific venom peptide named HzLVP1.

Introduction: In this research, 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl isocyanate (TESPIC) functionalized chitosan was successfully synthesized to fabricate silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2-CS MNPs).

Method: The synthesized MNPs were characterized using XRD, FT-IR, SEM, and TEM instruments and were utilized for the decolorization of Crystal Violet cationic dye (CV). The affecting variables controlling CV removal efficiency were investigated using the Taguchi fractional factorial design method (L16 array).

infection is a well-established risk factor for the development of gastric cancer (GC). Understanding the immunopathogenesis underlying this association is crucial for developing effective preventive and therapeutic strategies. This narrative review comprehensively explores the immunopathogenesis of -induced GC by delving into several key aspects, emphasizing the pivotal roles played by virulence factors, including cytotoxin-associated gene A () and vacuolating cytotoxin A (), blood group antigen-binding adhesin (), and sialic acid binding adhesin ().

Epicatechin (Epi) is one of the most abundant flavonoids present in different fruits and tea leaves. Emerging research illuminates the promising potential of catechins to serve as a shield against the damaging effects of arsenic (As) exposure in diverse organs.This study sought to discern whether Epi exhibits a therapeutic efficacy against arsenic-induced neurotoxicity in a murine model.
