Function of the antioxidant system (AOS) and intensity of lipid peroxidation (LPO) were studied in 42 patients with different stages of chronic renal insufficiency (CRI). The AOS state was studied by means of defining the content of SH-groups in erythrocytes using a method of quantitative cytochemistry, LPO activity was determined according to the level of diene conjugates of polyunsaturated higher fatty acids in the erythrocytic membrane by spectrophotometry. AOS functional incompetence was found in uremic patients. Of diagnostic importance was parallelism revealed between a degree of AOS damage and CRI stages. The results of investigation indicated the presence of marked imbalance between AOS and LPO, causing probably some clinical manifestations in CRI patients. Antioxidant preparations could be recommended for use in combined therapy of CRI patients.

Acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is a highly heterogeneous hematologic malignancy, characterized by significant molecular differences among patients as the disease progresses. While the PI3K-Akt signaling pathway and metabolic reprogramming are known to play crucial roles in B-ALL, the interactions between lipid metabolism, immune pathways, and drug resistance remain unclear. In this study, we performed multi-omics analysis on different patient cohorts (newly diagnosed, relapsed, standard-risk, and poor-risk) to investigate the molecular characteristics associated with metabolism, signaling pathways, and immune regulation in B-ALL.

The limited solubility, rapid metabolism, and poor bioavailability of curcumin restrict its application. In this study, we synthesized chickpea protein isolate (CPI)-citrus pectin (CP) conjugates to prepare an emulsion delivery system that enhances the stability and bioavailability of curcumin. The CPI-CP emulsion achieved a curcumin encapsulation efficiency of 86.

Cadmium (Cd) toxicity poses major challenges to rice cultivation, affecting plant growth and development. Wild rice and nanoparticles offer promising strategies to enhance Cd tolerance, yet little is known about their combined effects. This study evaluates the single segment substitution line (SG004) from Oryza glumaepatula (wild rice) and its response to Cd stress compared to cultivated rice (HJX74).
