is a medicinal plant used as anti-rheumatic and anti-inflammatory herbal remedy in Iraqi-Kurdistan. The aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of its extract and the isolated homoisoflavonoid () by studying the Ca-dependent NF-kB pathway. Nuclear translocation of p65 NF-kB subunit, as parameter of NF-kB activation, was visualized in human leukemic monocytes by immunofluorescence and Western blot analyses, after cell treatment with root extract or followed by Lipopolysaccharide stimulation. In parallel, Ca signals responsible for NF-kB activation and levels of inflammatory cytokines were investigated. LPS-induced p65 translocation was evident in monocytes and both treatments, in particular that with , were able to counteract this activation. Intracellular Ca oscillations were halted and the cytokine release reduced. These results confirm the traditional anti-inflammatory efficacy of and identify one of the molecules in the extract which appears to be responsible of this action.

Air pollution is a critical global environmental issue, further exacerbated by rapid industrialization and urbanization. Accurate prediction of air pollutant concentrations is essential for effective pollution prevention and control measures. The complex nature of pollutant data is influenced by fluctuating meteorological conditions, diverse pollution sources, and propagation processes, underscores the crucial importance of the spatial and temporal feature extraction for accurately predicting air pollutant concentrations.

Introduction: Cracked teeth present diagnostic and treatment challenges due to their complex etiology and uncertain prognoses. This study evaluated the potential of Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence (QLF) technology for diagnosing cracked teeth and its utility in predicting the need for root canal treatment (RCT).
Methods: A total of 207 cracked teeth from 149 patients diagnosed between April 2019 and April 2023 were analyzed.
