Objective: The aim: Was to compare the changes in hematological parameters of blood in the conditions of prolonged exposure of lead sulfide nanoparticles (NP) of different sizes and of lead nitrate.
Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The study was conducted on mature male Wistar rats 160-180 g, intraperitoneally injected with Pb(NO3)2 and NP PbS of 26-34 nm and 50-80 nm in 0,94 mg/kg/day dose adjusted to lead. Toxic effects were evaluated after 1,5 months, 3 months and 1 month after exposure. The studies were performed on hematologic analyzer.
Results: Results: Changes in peripheral blood were characterized by decrease in the hemoglobin level in the blood. An increase in the total number of leucocytes was observed, which is statistically significant by the increase of number of lymphocytes and the absolute number of monocytes. Changes in the platelet number were characterized by an increase in the average volume of platelets and a decrease in the platelet heterogeneity index.
Conclusion: Conclusions: The most pronounced changes hemoglobin level in the blood and concentration of hemoglobin in the erythrocyte were observed in the effects of PbS NP (50-80 nm), but leucocytes indicators - of PbS NP (26-34 nm) and Pb(NO3)2.

Osteoporosis, characterized by reduced bone mineral density and increased fracture risk, poses a significant health challenge, particularly for aging populations. Systemic treatments often lead to adverse side effects, emphasizing the need for localized solutions. This study introduces a 3D-printed polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold embedded with strontium-substituted mesoporous bioactive glass nanoparticles (Sr-MBGNPs) and icariin (ICN) for the targeted regeneration of osteoporotic bone.

This study involves the design, divergent synthesis, conformational and structural analysis, target prediction, and molecular docking simulations of novel nano N-thiazolylpyridylamines 2-7 and 10 as potential cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) inhibitors. Using a divergent synthesis approach, the compounds were designed with structural variation and optimization in mind. The conformational and structural properties were explored through various spectroscopic techniques, confirming the structure, stability, and preferred conformations.

Kidney stone is a common urological disease in dogs and can lead to serious complications such as pyelonephritis and kidney failure. However, manual diagnosis involves a lot of burdens on radiologists and may cause human errors due to fatigue. Automated methods using deep learning models have been explored to overcome this limitation.

Background: Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified 86 SNPs associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). GWAS-SNPs are markers of genetic variation in linkage disequilibrium (LD), which may drive the association with AD. One major class of genetic variation are Structural Variants (SVs), which can regulate transcription and translation of nearby genes.

Background: Several studies have indicated sex-specific genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), but these were centered on non-Hispanic White individuals of European ancestry. We sought to identify sex-specific genetic variants for AD in non-Hispanic and Hispanic subjects of admixed African ancestry.
Method: Participants were ages 60+, of African ancestry (≥25%), and diagnosed as cases or controls.
