The present work is aimed to assess the protective influence of zinc oxide resveratrol nanoparticles against oxidative stress-associated testicular dysfunction. The number of 50 male albino rats were randomly separated into five groups (n = 10): Group I, control: rats gavage distilled water orally; Group II, Levofloxacin: rats that administered Levofloxacin (LFX) softened in distilled water at a dosage of 40 mg/kg BW orally every other day; Group III, Zn-RSV: rats administered with Zn-RSV (zinc oxide resveratrol in distilled water at a dose 20 mg/kg BW orally every other day; Group IV, (LFX + Zn-RSV): rats that were administered with Levofloxacin along with Zn-RSV nPs; Group V, Levofloxacin + Zn: rats were administered with Levofloxacin and Zno at a dose of 20 mg/kg BW orally every other day as mentioned before. This study lasted for 2 months. Sera were collected to assess luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and testosterone values. Testicular tissues were utilized to evaluate levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), and catalase (CAT). Semen samples were utilized to measure their quality (motility, concentration, and vitality). Histopathological and immune histochemical techniques investigated the morphological changes in the testis. Rats treated with Levofloxacin showed significantly lower levels of serum LH, testosterone, FSH, testicular enzymatic NO, catalase, SOD, BAX, and BCL-2 immune reactivity and sperm quality but significantly greater testicular malondialdehyde and caspase-3 immuno-reactivity Compared to both control and zinc oxide resveratrol treatment. Zinc oxide resveratrol nanoparticles ameliorated the harmful side effects of Levofloxacin. Improvements were more pronounced in the co-treatment (LFX + Zn-RSV) Zinc oxide resveratrol group than in the co-treatment (LFX + Zno) Zinc oxide group. Zinc oxide resveratrol nanoparticles could be a possible solution for levofloxacin oxidative stress-induced fertility problems.

Purpose: Biofilms are one of the main threats related to bacteria. Owing to their complex structure, in which bacteria are embedded in the extracellular matrix, they are extremely challenging to eradicate, especially since they can inhabit both biotic and abiotic surfaces. This study aimed to create an effective antibiofilm nanofilm based on graphene oxide-metal nanoparticles (GOM-NPs).

Vanadium-based oxides hold immense promise as cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs); however, their practical implementation faces a significant hurdle: a prolonged activation period is typically required to achieve peak performance. This activation process, which often requires hundreds of cycles, arises from the complex behavior of mixed-valence vanadium systems. In this paper, we propose a solution based on an elegant and simple electrical activation strategy.

The effect of hot isostatic pressing (HIP) on the thermoelectric power factor of zinc oxide (ZnO) has been examined. ZnO is expected to be a potential n-type oxide thermoelectric material that could enhance the thermoelectric conversion efficiency. The HIP treatment is useful for densifying the material and controlling crystal defects in the material by applying high temperatures and pressures simultaneously.
