Arbutin abrogates cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity via upregulating Nrf2/HO-1 and suppressing genotoxicity, NF-κB/iNOS/TNF-α and caspase-3/Bax/Bcl2 signaling pathways in rats.

Background: Cisplatin is a potent anticancer agent widely employed in chemotherapy. However, cisplatin leads to toxicity on non-targeted healthy organs, including the liver. We investigated the hepatoprotective mechanism of arbutin (ARB), a glycosylated hydroquinone, against cisplatin-induced hepatotoxicity.

Synthesis of Novel Hydrazide-Hydrazone Compounds and and Investigation of Their Biological Activities against AChE, BChE, and hCA I and II.

The abnormal levels of the human carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes I and II (hCA I and II) and cholinesterase enzymes, namely, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), are linked with various disorders including Alzheimer's disease. In this study, six new nicotinic hydrazide derivatives (-) were designed and synthesized for the first time, and their inhibitory profiles against hCA I, hCA II, AChE, and BChE were investigated by assays and studies. The structures of novel molecules were elucidated by using spectroscopic techniques and elemental analysis.

Assessment of deltamethrin-induced DNA damage, neurotoxic and neuroimmune effects in the brain tissue of brown trout ().

This study investigated the impact of deltamethrin (DM) toxicity on brown trout (), examining its effects on the immune system, including the white blood cell (WBC), lymphocyte (Lym), total immunoglobulin (T. Ig), and lysozyme levels, as well as its neurotoxic consequences on the brain tissue. The neurotoxic effects encompassed oxidative stress, the activity of the antioxidant enzymes, such as the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, and DNA damage using 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG).

Ectoine production from a novel bacterial strain and high-purity purification with a cost-effective and single-step method.

This study marks the exploration into the production of ectoine, a valuable compound with significant potential as an antioxidant, osmoprotectant, anti-inflammatory agent, and stabilizer of cell membranes, proteins, and DNA integrity. Our focus centred on investigating the presence of ectoine and optimizing its production by the novel ectoine producer bacterial strain, Piscibacillus halophilus. For the optimization of ectoine production the effects of carbon and nitrogen sources, salt, pH, agitation and incubation period were optimized by one-factor-at-a-time.

Hair dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate as biomarker of employees' well-being? A longitudinal investigation of support, resilience, and work engagement during COVID-19 pandemic.

Introduction: Building on the motivational process of the job demands-resources (JD-R) theory, in the current research we investigated the longitudinal association between supervisor support/resilience as job/personal resources, work engagement (WE) and hair dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, or DHEA(S), as a possible biomarker of employees' well-being.

Methods: In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, 122 workers completed two self-report questionnaires (i.e.

Artificial Intelligence in Early Diagnosis of Preeclampsia.

Background: Every day, 810 women die of preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth worldwide, and preeclampsia is among the top three causes of maternal deaths.

Aim: To develop a diagnostic system with artificial intelligence for the early diagnosis of preeclampsia.

Methods: This retrospective study included pregnant women who were screened for the inclusion criteria on the hospital's database, and the sample consisted of the data of 1158 pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia and 9194 pregnant women who were not diagnosed with preeclampsia at Kahramanmaras Necip Fazıl City Hospital Gynecology and Pediatrics Additional Service Building, Kahramanmaras/Turkey.

inhibition potency of malononitrile derivatives on the activity of two pentose phosphate pathway enzymes: accompanied by molecular docking evaluation.

Many disorders, including cancer and malaria, could be targeted via the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), whose products are key in biosynthetic reactions in cells. The goal of this study was to find new PPP inhibitors. The inhibition effects of malononitrile derivatives on Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) were analyzed through experiments.

Development of a vortex-assisted switchable-hydrophilicity solvent-based liquid phase microextraction for fast and reliable extraction of Zn (II), Fe (II), Pb (II), and Cd (II) from various baby food products.

This manuscript describes the development of a novel liquid phase microextraction (LPME) method for the extraction and determination of Zn (II), Fe (II), Pb (II), and Cd (II) in various infant/baby food and supplements products. The method is based on vortex-assisted extraction combined with a switchable-hydrophilicity solvent (SHS) sample preparation. The SHS, which undergoes reversible phase changes triggered by pH change, enables selective extraction and easy phase separation.
