Effluents containing antibiotics raise concerns due to their potential to promote or sustain bacterial resistance and disrupt essential cycles and processes critical to aquatic ecology, agriculture, and animal farming. Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic, recognized as the treatment for cases in which other antibiotics are unsuccessful. The efficient elimination of antibiotics plays a crucial role in managing antibiotic pollution.

Background: Adolescents with a background in families affected by substance use exhibit an increased susceptibility to developing individual substance-related or other mental disorders. Consequently, they represent a crucial demographic for targeted preventive interventions. The current study examined the impact of selective prevention (SP) and family-based prevention (F-BP) measures on addiction susceptibility, affiliation with deviant peers (ADP), risk-taking, and risk and protective factors (RPFs) related to substance use among high-risk adolescents.

Discarded cigarette waste may leach toxic elements and can contaminate different environments. In this study, the levels of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in cigarette butts (CBs) leachates were determined, and the release rate of these pollutants from three CBs types such as smoked CBs with and without tobacco (SCBs and SFs) and unsmoked filters (USFs) were examined. The mean concentration levels of PCBs compounds were

Aim: In this study, we examined the polymorphisms of (rs13252298, rs1456315), (rs4848320) (rs7158663), (rs7853346) genes in BC patients and compared it with healthy individuals in an Iranian population.
Method: The assessment of genetic polymorphisms was conducted using PCR - RFLP and PCR-Tetra ARMS methods.
Results & Conclusion: The results showed that Codominant, Dominant and G allele of rs13252298 polymorphism and Dominant of rs1456315 polymorphism are correlated with increased risk of BC.

Inflammation is a defensive mechanism that safeguards the human body against detrimental stimuli. Within this intricate process, ADAM17, a zinc-dependent metalloprotease, emerges as an indispensable element, fostering the activation of diverse inflammatory and growth factors within the organism. Nonetheless, ADAM17 malfunctions can augment the rate of growth, inflammatory factors, and subsequent damage.

The antigen-targeting to dendritic cells (DCs) has gained increasing attention as the potential approach for immunotherapy in recent years due to the ability of DCs to regulate innate and adaptive immunity. In the present study, the immunogenicity and protective efficiency of mannan-decorated PLGA nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with multi-epitopes mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen (HspX-Ppe44-EsxV) were evaluated as a targeted delivery system to DCs. For this purpose, PLGA nanoparticle formulations were prepared and subsequently decorated by mannan.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is among the most prevalent articular disorders, whose incidence is directly related to aging. Due to the antiinflammatory potential of curcumin as the active component of turmeric, the present study evaluated the effects of curcumin on the expression of genes related to T helper 17 (Th17), including forkhead box p3 (FOXP3), forkhead box o1 (FOXO1), transforming growth factor-β (TGFB1) and microRNA-873, human (HSA-MIR-873), in OA patients. Female patients with knee OA (n=30) were randomly categorized into 2 groups, including the intervention group who received curcumin (n=15) and the placebo (n=15) in a double-blind clinical trial for 3 months.
