alleviate testicular damage induced by high fat diet in albino rats; histological and ultrastructural studies.

Hyperlipidemia has been related to sever health outcome include cardiovascular complication, metabolic disorders and infertility. Moreover, obesity has also been linked to dangerous effects on testicular morphology, spermatogenesis and sperm malformation. Many studies using different herbal medicines exert protective and therapeutic effect on the testes, spermatogenesis and fertility in animals fed high fat diet.

Effect of gabapentin on fetal rat brain and its amelioration by ginger.

Intrauterine exposure to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) is associated with neurodevelopmental alterations causing postnatal behavioral and cognitive alterations. These disorders are associated with the interference of these AEDs with the developing cerebral cortex and hippocampal neurons. Therefore, it is crucial to identify the drugs that should be avoided during pregnancy in order to prevent AED mediated developmental alterations.

Immunohistochemical assessment of ezrin and moesin in colorectal carcinoma.

Ezrin and moesin are important molecules of the ERM family of proteins, which regulate cell adhesion and migration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the intensity and pattern of ezrin and moesin expression in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) together with correlating their expression with the clinico-pathologic features of this neoplasm. This study was carried out on 48 CRC and 10 adenoma specimens.

Expression of c-erb-B2 gene in bladder cancer of Egyptian patients and its correlation with p53 and bcl-2.

Urinary bladder cancer is the 9th most common type of cancer and the 13th most common cause of death worldwide. C-erbB-4 is a class of oncogenes plays a role in cancer development. The present work was performed to assess C-erbB-4 oncogene amplification by PCR technology and its correlation with p53 and bcl-2.

Effect of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) on sodium valporate induced cytogenetic and testicular alterations in albino rats.

The present study investigated the cytogenetic and testicular damage induced by the antiepileptic drug, sodium valporate (SVP) in albino rats and the effect of saffron aqueous extracts. Treating rats with SVP caused a significant increase in the chromosomal aberrations either structural or numerical and decreased the mitotic index. Besides, animals administered SVP showed DNA damage appeared in the single strand breaks (comet assay).

Immunohistochemical differential diagnosis between urothelial carcinoma and prostate adenocarcinoma among Egyptian patients.

The aim of the present study was to differentiate between prostate adenocarcinoma and urothelial carcinoma among Egyptian patients by immunohistochemical methods. Two groups of patients were used: urothelial group, consisted of 9 cystitis, 21 transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) and 5 urinary bladder mucoid adenocarcinoma (MAC) and prostatic group, consisted of 9 nodular prostatic hyperplasia (NPH) and 21 prostatic adenocarcinoma (PAC). H-E stained sections were performed to confirm the diagnosis and evaluate the histopathological characteristics of the tumor.

Effect of grapefruit juice on amiodarone induced nephrotoxicity in albino rats.

Amiodarone is a potent antiarrhythmic drug that is used to treat ventricular and supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. The present work studied the effect of amiodarone on the kidney of albino rats and the possible ameliorative role of grapefruit juice. Administration of amiodarone by gastric intubation (18 mg/kg body weight (b.

Effect of Ocimum basilicum extract on cadmium-induced testicular histomorphometric and immunohistochemical alterations in albino rats.

The present study examined the efficacy of Ocimum basilicum (basil) extract, a natural herb, with antioxidant properties, against testicular toxicity induced by cadmium (Cd), which is one of the most important toxic heavy metals. The intoxicated rats showed significant alterations in the testicular tissue including decreased seminiferous epithelium height and changes in the arrangement of spermatogenic layers. Hypospermatogensis with cytoplasmic vacuolization and pyknotic nuclei were observed.

Ameliorative effect of grapefruit juice on amiodarone-induced cytogenetic and testicular damage in albino rats.

Objective: To evaluate the ameliorative role of grapefruit juice on the cytogenetic and testicular damage induced by the antiarrythmic drug amiodarone in albino rats.

Methods: Animals were divided into four groups. Group I was considered as control.

Histological and histochemical alterations in liver of chronic hepatitis C patients with Helicobacter pylori infection.

Hepatitis C is an infectious disease affecting the liver. Chronic infection can progress fibrosis and cirrhosis, liver failure or liver cancer. Helicobacter pylori (H.

Effect of mesenchymal stem cells on anti-Thy1,1 induced kidney injury in albino rats.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in rats with anti-Thy1,1 nephritis.

Methods: Female albino rats were divided into three groups, control group, anti-Thy1,1 group and treatment with i.v.

Carbendazim-induced testicular damage and oxidative stress in albino rats: ameliorative effect of licorice aqueous extract.

Carbendazim is a broad spectrum carbamate fungicide used in the control of various fungal pathogens. Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is one of the widely used medicinal plants in oriental nations. The present work studied the effect of licorice aqueous extract on carbendazim-induced testicular toxicity in albino rats.

Effect of fenugreek seed extract on adriamycin-induced hepatotoxicity and oxidative stress in albino rats.

The purpose of this work was to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of fenugreek seeds against hepatotoxicity induced in albino rats by the anticancer drug adriamycin (ADR). Animals were given single dose of ADR (10 mg/kg body weight) and were killed after 2 and 4 weeks. Liver of ADR-treated animals showed histopathological and biochemical alterations.

Aqueous fenugreek seed extract ameliorates adriamycin-induced cytotoxicity and testicular alterations in albino rats.

The present work studied the effect of fenugreek seed extracts on cytotoxicity and testicular damage induced by adriamycin (ADR) in albino rats. Administrating animals with ADR caused significant increase in the percentage of chromosomal aberrations, decreased the mitotic index, and induced DNA damage in bone marrow. Testes of ADR-treated rats showed many histopathological alterations and the number of sperm head abnormalities increased.

Effect of fenugreek seeds extract on cyclophosphamide-induced histomorphometrical, ultrastructural and biochemical changes in testes of albino mice.

Cyclophosphamide (CPA) is an anticancer drug used in the treatment of a variety of neoplastic lesions. On the other hand, treatment with CPA was accompanied by different toxic effects on different body organs. The present work was conducted to study the effect of fenugreek seed extract on histomorphometrical and ultrastructural changes induced by CPA in testes of albino mice.

Hazardous effects of fried potato chips on the development of retina in albino rats.

Objective: To evaluate the hazardous effects of fried potato chips upon the retina of two developmental stages of the albino rats aged 7 and 14 days from parturition.

Methods: PREGNANT RATS WERE ARRANGED INTO TWO GROUPS: control pregnant rats and consequently their delivered newborns until reaching 7 and 14 days old from parturition and fried potato chips group in which pregnant rats at the 6th day of gestation maintained on diet formed of fried potato chips supplied from the market mixed with standard diet at a concentration of 50% per each till 7 and 14 post-partum. Three fold integrated approaches were adopted, namely, histological, ultrastructural and proteomic analysis.
