Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with chronic low‑grade inflammation. Carvacrol has been confirmed to possess anti‑inflammatory properties, but its effect on diabetic vasculature remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible protective effects of carvacrol against vascular endothelial inflammation.

Prothioconazole (PTC) is a widely used triazole fungicide with low toxicity, and its desulfurization metabolite, prothioconazole-desthio (PTC-d), is reported to have higher reproductive toxicity to mammals. However, little is known about the reproductive toxicity, much less endocrine disrupting effect, of these two chemicals on reptiles. In this study, we investigated the effects of single dose of PTC/PTC-d (100 mg kg body weight) exposure on the pathomorphism of testes and epididymides, serum sex steroid hormones (testosterone and 17β-estradiol) and transcription of steroidogenic-related genes (STARD, cyp11A, cyp17, cyp19A, 17β-HSD, 3β-HSD, AR and ER-α) in gonads of male lizards (Eremias argus).

Objective: To establish the mechanisms of pathomorphism of transplantable kidney cancer in rats that used flavonoid-containing hedge hyssop (Gratiola officinalis L.) extract in an in vivo experiments.
Material And Methods: The experiment was carried out on 30 male Wistar rats with transplantable kidney cancer PA.

Objective: To investigate structural changes in the tumor and nontumor tissues of the prostate in patients with its cancer (PC) after treatment with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) in combination with androgen deprivation to clarify criteria for evaluating the efficiency of treatment.
Subject And Methods: Comparative morphological, immunohistochemical, and morphometric analyses were carried out to examine 253 pre- and postoperative biopsy specimens, as well as transurethral resection specimens from 32 patients with localized PC and with or without a local recurrence within 3 years after a HIFU session.
Results: HIFU ablation was accompanied by coagulation necrosis and progressive pancreatic fibrosis with complete tumor regression or by a reduction in the number of positive columns (by an average of 58%) in cases with recurrence.

Background: To investigate the effect of biliary tract external drainage (BTED) on inflammatory mediators and pathomorphism of intestine, liver, and lung in septic rats.
Method: 48 SD rats (n = 8 per group) were randomized into six groups: control, sepsis, sepsis plus BTED, normal bile (obtained from eight healthy rats), and septic bile infusion for 6 hours respectively to test the effects of BTED bile infusion on cytokines' expression and tissue injury in the intestine, liver, and lung of septic/normal rats. Co-cultivation of intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6) with bile for 12 hours was performed to evaluate the potential cytotoxicity of septic bile.
