Vincristine (VCR) is a microtubule-destabilizing chemotherapeutic agent commonly administered for the treatment of cancers in patients, which can induce severe side effects including neurotoxicity. In context of the effects on female fertility, ovarian toxicity has been found in patients and mice model after VCR exposure. However, the influence of VCR exposure on oocyte quality has not been elucidated. We established VCR exposure in vitro and in vivo model. The results indicated in vitro VCR exposure contributed to failure of oocyte maturation through inducing defects in spindle assembly, activation of SAC, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and early apoptosis, which were confirmed by using in vivo exposure model. Moreover, in vivo VCR exposure caused aneuploidy, reduced oocyte-sperm binding ability, and the number of cortical granules in mouse oocyte cortex. Taken together, this study demonstrated that VCR could cause meiotic arrest and poor quality of mouse oocyte.

Provenance, environments, and tectonic signatures of Tanjong-Sandakan Formations, Northeast Sabah, Malaysia: Implications from sedimentology, palynology, and geochemistry.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzes marginal marine deposits from the Tanjong and Sandakan formations in Northeast Sabah, focusing on sedimentology, trace and rare earth elements, hydrocarbon potential, and palynology to explore their environmental and geological history during the Early to Late Miocene.
- Four facies associations were identified in the Tanjong and three in the Sandakan formations, indicating a mix of terrestrial to shallow marine environments, with specific flora suggesting transition zones and varied redox conditions influenced by tectonic activity and sea-level changes.
- Findings show that sediment types differ between mudstones and sandstones, with mudstones reflecting active continental margins related to regional rifting, while sandstones suggest passive margins originating from older sedimentary processes

Article Synopsis
- Hepatic fibrosis is a serious liver condition that can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer, and vinegar-processed Curcumae Rhizoma (VCR) is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to treat related diseases.
- The study analyzed the anti-liver fibrosis effects of both unprocessed Curcumae Rhizoma (CR) and VCR, with VCR showing improved therapeutic outcomes due to vinegar processing and specific bioactive compounds.
- Results indicated that VCR significantly lessened liver damage, reduced lipid buildup, and lowered liver function markers, suggesting enhanced efficacy in treating hepatic fibrosis through network pharmacology and metabolomic analyses.
Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic and Pharmacogenetic Studies Related to Vincristine-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy in Chinese Pediatric ALL Patients.

Article Synopsis
- Vincristine can lead to vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and this study aimed to understand the factors that affect its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
- A total of 79 pediatric patients were analyzed, revealing that certain genetic factors and interactions with other drugs, like posaconazole, significantly influence the metabolism of vincristine and its association with VIPN risk.
- The research suggests that monitoring vincristine levels during treatment is vital for adjusting dosages and personalizing therapy to mitigate the risk of VIPN.

Vincristine (VCR) is one of the most widely used chemotherapy agents in treating pediatric cancer. Nonetheless, it is known to cause dose-dependent neurotoxicity which can impact virtually every organ system. Despite its widespread use, the precise impact of VCR on the lower urinary tract (LUT) remains inadequately elucidated.

Selenium (Se) is required for synthesis of selenocysteine (Sec), an amino acid expressed in the active sites of Se-dependent enzymes (selenoenzymes), including forms with essential functions in fetal development, brain activities, thyroid hormone metabolism, calcium regulation, and to prevent or reverse oxidative damage. Homeostatic mechanisms normally ensure the brain is preferentially supplied with Se to maintain selenoenzymes, but high methylmercury (CHHg) exposures irreversibly inhibit their activities and impair Sec synthesis. Due to Hg's high affinity for sulfur, CHHg initially binds with the cysteine (Cys) moieties of thiomolecules which are selenoenzyme substrates.
