Biochemical and histopathological changes in livers of rats poisoned with aluminum phosphide and treated with carrot extract.

The experimental studies of Aluminum Phosphide (AP) poisoning in rats revealed several clinical and pathological signs such as hemorrhage, sinusoidal dilatation, bile stasis, centrilobular necrosis, Kupffer cell hyperplasia, infiltration by mononuclear cells, and fatty infiltration in the liver tissues. This paper aimed to show the impact of carrots on the toxic effect of AP on the livers of adult rats (female). To investigate some biochemical and histopathological changes effects of AP in rats, sixty white female rats were equally divided into four groups, the first group (G1) was administered orally with 3mg/kg/ body weight of AP, the second group (G2) was orally treated with AP and 10% carrot extract at the same time.

Age of onset and cumulative risk of mental disorders: a cross-national analysis of population surveys from 29 countries.

Background: Information on the frequency and timing of mental disorder onsets across the lifespan is of fundamental importance for public health planning. Broad, cross-national estimates of this information from coordinated general population surveys were last updated in 2007. We aimed to provide updated and improved estimates of age-of-onset distributions, lifetime prevalence, and morbid risk.

A novel pregnene analogs: synthesis, cytotoxicity on prostate cancer of PC-3 and LNCPa-AI cells and in silico molecular docking study.

New pregnene analogs of N-hydroxamic acid 6, imino-propane hydrazides 7 and 8 as well as the aryl amides 9-11, oxadiazole, pyrazole and sulfinyl analogs 13-15, via the hydrazide analog 5 of methyl ((5-pregnen-3β,17β-diol-15α-yl)thio)propanoate (4) were synthesized. The in vitro cytotoxic activities of selected synthesized steroids against two human prostate cancer cell lines (PC-3, and LNCaP-AI) were evaluated by MTT assay. Compound 10 was the most active cytotoxic agent among these steroids against PC-3 and LNCaP-AI cell lines with inhibition of 96.

Detection of human cytomegalovirus in different histopathological types of glioma in Iraqi patients.

Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is an endemic herpes virus that reemerges in cancer patients enhancing oncogenic potential. HCMV infection is associated with certain types of cancer morbidity such as glioblastomas. HCMV, like all other herpes viruses, has the ability to remain latent within the body of the host and can contribute in chronic inflammation.
