Neuroprotective Effects of Trimetazidine against Cisplatin-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy: Involvement of AMPK-Mediated PI3K/mTOR, Nrf2, and NF-B Signaling Axes.

Cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a common and debilitating side effect of cisplatin chemotherapy used in cancer treatment. This study explored the neuroprotective effects of Trimetazidine (TRI) against CIPN by preserving nerve integrity, reducing neuro-oxidative stress, and alleviating neuroinflammation. Using a rat model of CIPN, we evaluated TRI's impact on motor coordination, pain sensitivity, and peripheral nerve histopathology.

Phytochemical analysis and wound healing properties of Malva parviflora L. ethanolic extract.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Scientific publications documented the use of plants from Genus Malva to treat inflammatory diseases and skin disorders by our ancestors. Malva parviflora L. has reported benefits for wound healing in traditional medicine; however, there is a lack of experimental study to validate these claims.

Efficacy of Quercetin and Quercetin Loaded Chitosan Nanoparticles Against Cisplatin-Induced Renal and Testicular Toxicity via Attenuation of Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Apoptosis.

Background/objectives: Flavonoids, including quercetin, have attracted much attention due to their potential health-promoting effects.

Methods: The current experiment aims to see whether quercetin (QUE) in nanoparticle form could mitigate testicular and renal toxicity caused by cisplatin (CIS) more effectively than normally formulated QUE. Rats were randomly treated with CIS alone or in combination with QUE or QUE.

UPLC/HR-ESI-MS/MS and GC/MS profiling of Eriobotrya japonica L. fruit in correlation to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-arthritic effects.

Eriobotrya japonica Lindl. (Loquat) fruit is a subtropical edible fruit originally from China. It grows well in Egypt, but it is not widely known.

Exploring cutting-edge approaches in diabetes care: from nanotechnology to personalized therapeutics.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a persistent condition characterized by high levels of glucose in the blood due to irregularities in the secretion of insulin, its action, or both. The disease was believed to be incurable until insulin was extracted, refined, and produced for sale. In DM, insulin delivery devices and insulin analogs have improved glycemic management even further.

Acquisition of durable insulin-producing cells from human adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells as a foundation for cell- based therapy of diabetes mellitus.

This study aimed to identify the suitable induction protocol to produce highly qualified insulin producing cells (IPCs) from human adipose tissue derived stem cells (ADSCs) and evaluate the efficacy of the most functionally IPCs in management of diabetes mellitus (DM) in rats. The ADSCs were isolated and characterized according to the standard guidelines. ADSCs were further induced to be IPCs in vitro using three different protocols.

Diacerein ameliorates amiodarone-induced pulmonary fibrosis via targeting the TGFβ1/α-SMA/Smad3 pathway.

This study is aimed at investigating the possible protective effect of diacerein (DIA) against AMD-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats. Rats were classified into 4 groups: a normal group that received distilled water, control group that received AMD (100 mg/kg, p.o.

Apolipoproteins have a major role in cellular tumor dormancy in triple negative breast cancer: In-silico study.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) lacks estrogen, progesterone, and human epidermal growth factor receptors and has a poor prognosis as it is resistant to chemotherapy. A new treatment option for this type of cancer may be by putting these malignant cells into dormancy. The oocyte's embryonic milieu presents a unique tumor reversion microenvironment by inducing growth arrest and changing cells' phenotypes.

Cilostazol Combats Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Hippocampal Injury in Rats: Role of AKT/GSK3/CREB Curbing Neuroinflammation.

Neuroinflammation is important in the pathophysiology of several degenerative brain disorders. This study looked at the potential neuroprotective benefits of cilostazol, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, against LPS-induced hippocampus damage in rodents and the principal molecular involvement of AKT/GSK3/CREB signaling pathways. Behavioral tests revealed that cilostazol successfully corrected LPS-induced neurobehavioral impairments.

Myricetin-loaded SBA-15 silica nanoparticles for enhanced management of pyrexia, pain, and inflammation through modulation of MAPK/NF-κB and COX-2/PGE-2 pathways: Evidence from the biochemical, histological, and metabolomic analysis.

Myricetin (MYR) is a natural flavonoid that has several biological functions. However, some of its beneficial effects are diminished due to low water solubility, stability, and bioavailability. Herein, several kinds of silica nanoparticles (MCM-41 and SBA-15) were loaded with MYR to improve its biological activity as an analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory component, thereby overcoming its drawbacks.

in hepatocellular carcinoma: Tumor molecular basis, Wnt/β-catenin pathway role, and protective mechanism.

In this editorial, we comment on the recent article by Huang The editorial focuses specifically on the molecular mechanisms of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), mechanism of Wnt/β-catenin pathway in HCC, and protective mechanism of (CB) in HCC. Liver cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths globally. The most prevalent kind of primary liver cancer, HCC, is typically brought on by long-term viral infections (hepatitis B and C), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, excessive alcohol consumption, and other conditions that can cause the liver to become chronically inflamed and cirrhotic.

Beyond Conventional Treatments: Exploring CAR-T Cell Therapy for Cancer Stem Cell Eradication.

Background: For decades cancer remained the center of attention in the scientific community as its survival rates are low. Researchers from all around the world wanted to know the core of the problem as to what initiates cancer in a patient and helps with its progression. Many postulations came to light, but Cancer Stem Cells (CSC) was the most appealing and convincing.

Beta-carotene ameliorates diabetic nephropathy in rats: involvement of AMPK/SIRT1/autophagy pathway.

Objective: This study aimed to demonstrate the protective effect of beta-carotene against STZ-induced DN in rats and explore the possible underlying mechanisms that may have mediated such condition.

Material And Methods: Wistar rats were allocated into four groups. Normal group received distilled water for 3 weeks.

Therapeutic effects of alpha lipoic acid and/or caffeine-loaded chitosan nanoparticles on memory impairment and neurochemical changes in high-fat diet-induced obese rats.

The therapeutic effects of alpha lipoic acid (LA) and/or caffeine-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CCNPs) on obesity-induced memory impairment were evaluated in the present study. Rats were divided into control rats, obese rats induced by high fat diet (HFD) and obese rats treated with LA and/or CCNPs. Obesity was confirmed by measuring the body mass index (BMI).

Efficacy of thoracic endovascular aortic repair versus medical therapy for treatment of type B aortic dissection.

Background: Techniques in endovascular therapy have evolved to offer a promising alternative to medical therapy alone for Type B aortic dissections (TBADs).

Aim: The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare mortality and overall complications between thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) and best medical therapy (BMT) in patients with TBADs.

Methods: We included randomized control trials and prospective or retrospective cohort studies that compared TEVAR and BMT for the treatment of type B aortic dissection.
