The therapeutic efficacy of adipose mesenchymal stem cell-derived microvesicles versus infliximab in a dextran sodium sulfate induced ulcerative colitis rat model.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic relapsing intestinal inflammation that is becoming of increasing incidence worldwide and has insufficient treatment. Therefore, finding effective therapies remains a priority. A dextran sodium sulfate colitis model was established to elucidate colonic layers alterations and compare adipose mesenchymal stem cell-derived microvesicles (MSC-MVs) versus infliximab (IFX) efficacy through biochemical, light, and electron microscope studies.

Evaluating the histomorphological and biochemical changes induced by Tributyltin Chloride on pituitary-testicular axis of adult albino rats and the possible ameliorative role of hesperidin.

This study was performed to explore in detail the toxic effects of Tributyltin Chloride (TBT) on the pituitary-testicular axis and the possible amelioration with Hesperidin. Seventy-two adult male albino rats were divided into four groups: Control group (I), TBT-treated group (II), TBT+Hesperidin group (III), and Recovery group (IV). Body and testicular weights were measured.

Tramadol aggravates cardiovascular toxicity in a rat model of alcoholism: Involvement of intermediate microfilament proteins and immune-expressed osteopontin.

Tramadol and alcohol are among commonly abused drugs. Although there are potential dangers reported upon their mixing, there are no previous reports describing this mixture's effects on the cardiovascular system (CVS). The aim was to study the effects of mixed alcohol and tramadol on the CVS of adult male rats.

Combined Wharton's jelly derived mesenchymal stem cells and nerve guidance conduit: A potential promising therapy for peripheral nerve injuries.

Background: Peripheral nerve injuries represent a clinical problem with insufficient or unsatisfactory treatment options. Functional outcome with nerve guidance conduits was unsatisfactory in nerve defects with increased gap size. So, cell therapy may benefit as a tool for optimizing the regeneration process.

Efficacy of zinc oxide nanoparticles in attenuating pancreatic damage in a rat model of streptozotocin-induced diabetes.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) therapy is a promising strategy for treatment of several diseases. We aimed to investigate the therapeutic potential of ZnO NPs in ameliorating the histopathological and functional alterations in the pancreas of a rat model of streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Rats were randomized into control, diabetic and ZnO NPs-treated diabetic groups.
