Aim: To investigate the level of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide synthase (NOS) enzyme and its effect on gastric mucosal pathologic change in patients infected with Helicobacter pylori (H pylori), and to study the pathogenic mechanism of H pylori.
Methods: The mucosal tissues of gastric antrum were taken by endoscopy, then their pathology, H pylori and anti-CagA-IgG were determined. Fifty H pylori positive cases and 35 H pylori negative cases were randomly chosen. Serum level of NO and NOS was detected.
Results: One hundred and seven cases (71.33%) were anti-CagA-IgG positive in 150 H pylori positive cases. The positive rate was higher especially in those with pre-neoplastic diseases, such as atrophy, intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia. The level of NO and NOS in positive group was higher than that in negative group, and apparently lower in active gastritis than in pre-neoplastic diseases such as atrophy, intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia.
Conclusion: H pylori is closely related with chronic gastric diseases, and type I H pylori may be the real factor for H pylori-related gastric diseases. Infection with H pylori can induce elevation of NOS, which produces NO.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate and compare the histological response of rabbit dental pulp after direct pulp capping with 3 different materials: mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), nanoparticles of fluorapatite (Nano-FA), and nanoparticles of hydroxyapatite (Nano-HA) after 4 and 6-week time intervals.
Material And Methods: A total of 72 upper and lower incisor teeth from 18 rabbits were randomly categorized into 3 groups)24 incisors from six rabbits each. MTA Group: teeth were capped with MTA.

Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic drug, which exhibits undesirable side effects. Chitosan nanoparticles are promising for drug delivery. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the brown alga Turbinaria triquetra ethyl acetate fraction and polysaccharides, either loaded on chitosan nanoparticles or free, against podocyturia and cisplatin nephrotoxicity in rats.

Article Synopsis
- Excessive fluoride exposure can cause oxidative stress and damage metabolic organs, leading to toxicity in the liver and kidneys.
- A study was conducted on Wistar rats divided into four groups, with some receiving sodium fluoride alone and others receiving fluoride with different doses of betanin from beetroot for 90 days.
- Results showed that betanin treatment reduced markers of liver and kidney damage and improved oxidative stress indicators, suggesting it could potentially protect against fluoride-induced organ toxicity.

Background: High-throughput assays have attracted significant attention in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) research, especially for enabling rapid diagnostics screening for factors at the molecular level contributing to the disease recurrence. With advances in laboratory automation, there is a growing need for quality pre-clinical data. Assays such as Microarrays, Proteomics, or AI are all dependent on high-quality input data that serve as a starting point.
