The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate bilosomes loaded with Celecoxib (CXB) for the efficient treatment of Alzheimer. The thin-film hydration approach was utilized in the formulation of CXB bilosomes (CXB-BLs). The study used a 2-factorial design to investigate the impact of several formulation variables. Three separate parameters were investigated: bile salt type (X), medication amount (X), and lipid-bile salt ratio (X). The dependent responses included entrapment efficiency (Y: EE %), particle size (Y: PS), and zeta potential (: ZP). The formulation factors were statistically optimized using the Design-Expert program. The vesicles demonstrated remarkable CXB encapsulation efficiency, ranging from 94.16 ± 1.91 to 98.38 ± 0.85%. The vesicle sizes ranged from 241.8 ± 6.74 to 352 ± 2.34 nm. The produced formulations have high negative zeta potential values, indicating strong stability. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the optimized vesicles had a spherical form. CXB release from BLs was biphasic, with the release pattern following Higuchi's model. In vivo studies confirmed the efficiency of CXB-BLs in management of lipopolysaccharide-induced Alzheimer as CXB-BLs ameliorated cognitive dysfunction, decreased acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and inhibited neuro-inflammation and neuro-degeneration through reducing Toll-like receptor (TLR4), and Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) levels. The findings suggested that the created CXB-BLs could be a potential drug delivery strategy for Alzheimer's treatment.

Hepatitis, a significant medical concern owing to its potential to cause acute and chronic liver disease, necessitates early intervention. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the histopathological features of lipopolysaccharide-induced hepatitis in mice, focusing on tissue alterations. The results demonstrated that hepatocytes exhibited decreased eosin staining, indicating cellular shrinkage, whereas sinusoids were swollen with blood cells.

In intensive poultry farming, environmental stress, pathogen infections, and noise can negatively impact growth or cause sudden death, leading to economic losses. The prevalent use of antibiotics as feed additives to prevent diseases in broilers has raised concerns about antibiotic resistance and highlighted the need for safer and more effective alternatives. Carnosic acid (CA), a bioactive compound derived from rosemary, exhibits notable pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Introduction: Osteoporosis is an osteolytic disorder resulting from an inequilibrium between osteoblast-mediated osteogenesis and osteoclast-driven bone absorption. Safe and effective approaches for osteoporosis management are still highly demanded.
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the osteoprotective effect and the mechanisms of phaseol (PHA) in vitro and in vivo.

Background: Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory state associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) and high mortality. However, sepsis-induced AKI cannot be effectively prevented or treated using current antimicrobial therapies and supportive measures. We explored the therapeutic effect of newly developed fructose esters on sepsis-induced AKI (S-AKI).

Background: Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has long posed challenges in clinical practice, lacking established preventive and therapeutic approaches. Lianhua Qingke (LHQK), a patented traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has been found to have anti-inflammatory effects for ameliorating ALI/ARDS induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). This study aimed to investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of LHQK on endothelial protection in LPS-induced ALI/ARDS and in LPS-induced human pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (HPMECs) injury
Methods: In the animal experiment, we induced an ALI/ARDS model by intratracheal injection of LPS (5 mg/mL).
