Adjuvant therapy with Astragalus membranaceus for post-stroke fatigue: a systematic review
Abstract Post-stroke fatigue (PSF) is a common symptom after stroke and interferes with the rehabilitation. There are limited pharmacological therapies for managing PSF. Astragalus membranaceus (Huangqi) is a frequently used Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) in the treatment of fatigue in China. The aim of this review was to summarize the efficacy of adjuvant therapy with CHM Huangqi (CHM-HQ) in managing fatigue after stroke. We searched the databases in both English and Chinese for...

Borax Alleviates Copper-Induced Renal Injury via Inhibiting the DNA Damage and Apoptosis in Rainbow Trout
Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the therapeutic potential of borax against copper in the kidney tissue of the rainbow trout fed with added borax (BX) (1.25, 2.5, and 5 mg/kg) and/or copper (Cu) (500,1000 mg/kg) contents. For this purpose, two treatment groups had designed, and glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase (CAT) enzyme activities were determined. Besides, oxidative DNA damage (8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine, 8-OHdG), caspase-3,...

Biosynthesis of Fe 3 O 4 @Ag Nanocomposite and Evaluation of Its Performance on Expression of norA and norB Efflux Pump Genes in Ciprofloxacin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Abstract At present, the universal health problem with Staphylococcus aureus is the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains due to the overuse of antibiotics. Drug extrusion through efflux pumps is one of the bacterial mechanisms to neutralize the bactericidal effect of antibiotics. The antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticle as well as Fe3O4 nanoparticle had been previously studied and widely described. Today, the development of green methods for nanomaterial synthesis...

Comparison of Copper Concentration Between Rejected Renal Grafts and Cancerous Kidneys
Abstract In the body, disorders in the composition and concentration of trace elements, including copper, can lead to the development of various alterations that may result in incorrect functioning of the kidneys. Data on the concentrations of copper in human kidneys are discussed; however, little is known about the concentration of trace elements within rejected renal grafts and kidneys with tumor lesions. The aim of our study was to compare the copper concentration between...

Pharmacokinetics of Selenium in Healthy Piglets After Different Routes of Administration: Application of Pharmacokinetic Data to the Risk Assessment of Selenium
Abstract Selenium (Se) is a trace element in the environment. Although it is a necessary trace element for human and animal health, excessive Se can also pollute the environment and show toxic effects on humans and animals. Since the safe dose range of Se is narrow, it is important to study the pharmacokinetics of Se in order to make better use of the biological effects of Se. In the present study, we investigated the pharmacokinetic process of sodium selenate in healthy piglet...

Presence of Toxic Heavy Metals in Platelet-Rich Fibrin: a Pilot Study
Abstract Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is widely used blood-derived biomaterial which is directly applied to the surgical wounds. Depending on its autologous origin, PRF is thought as a safe material. However, it is not known to what extent the blood-derived toxins can be found in the PRF by considering the systemic exposure rates of the individuals to the toxins. The aim of this pilot study was to test the hypothesis whether PRF contains any blood-origin heavy metals (HMs) and...

Zinc Deficiency and Arsenic Exposure Can Act Both Independently or Cooperatively to Affect Zinc Status, Oxidative Stress, and Inflammatory Response
Abstract The negative health impact of zinc deficiency overlaps significantly with arsenic exposure, and is associated with increased risk for chronic diseases. Arsenic contamination in the groundwater often co-exists in regions of the world that are prone to zinc deficiency. Notably, low zinc status shares many hallmarks of arsenic exposure, including increased oxidative stress and inflammation. Despite their common targets and frequent co-distribution in the population, little...

The Inverted U-Curve Association of Fluoride and Osteoclast Formation in Mice
Abstract The effect of fluoride on osteoclasts is still controversial. In the past, researchers thought that the effects of fluoride on osteoclast and osteoblast formation occurred in a dose-dependent pattern. However, our previous in vitro study showed fluoride elicited a notably different effect on osteoclast formation. To further verify the relationship between fluoride and osteoclast formation in vivo, 60 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups: two treatment...

Association Between Cortisol, Insulin Resistance and Zinc in Obesity: a Mini-Review
Abstract Adipose tissue is considered an endocrine organ and its excess compromises the immune response and the metabolism of hormones and nutrients. Furthermore, visceral fat accumulation contributes to increased cortisol synthesis, which in turn induces metallothionein and Zip14 expression, which are proteins that contribute to reducing plasma zinc levels. Zinc plays a critical role in the secretion and signaling of insulin. Changes in the biochemical parameters of zinc, as...

Breaking the Curse: Opening Students’ Eyes to Pathology and Oncology Research
Abstract Research is a particularly underexplored professional activity for physicians, leaving many medical students compelled to pursue a clinical career. However, the XXI century requires that physicians innovate and perform research that fuels their practice; students should have early exposure to research to explore it as a career path. It should be encouraged in the undergraduate program by having students take part in case reports, short communication presentations, and...

Prognostic significance of histological categorization of desmoplastic reaction in colorectal liver metastases
Abstract Desmoplastic reaction (DR) involves the growth of fibrous or connective tissues around a tumor and has recently attracted attention as an indicator of malignant potential. Previous studies have confirmed that histological categorization of DR in the primary tumor is an independent prognostic factor in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). However, it remains unclear whether the DR status of the metastatic liver lesion (DRliver) is a useful prognostic factor....
