: The most used antipyretic and pain relief treatment is paracetamol (acetaminophen), also known as N-acetyl-para-aminophenol (APAP). However, it is considered potentially hazardous if consumed repeatedly in large doses or over prolonged periods. This investigation explores the effectiveness of hesperidin (Hesp) and Hesp loaded on layered double hydroxide nanoparticles (Hesp-NPs) in inhibiting the progression of acute hepatotoxicity in rats induced by APAP.

Introduction: Identification of benign lesions among higher classes of renal Bosniak cysts who are vulnerable to active surveillance instead of surgical approach is still questionable. We aimed in this study to delineate the efficacy of the new Bosniak v2019 classification in benign lesions identification among those cases with higher Bosniak classes in comparison with the final histopathology.

Materials: In a retrospective review between 2010 and 2021 for patients diagnosed as higher classes Bosniak renal masses was done.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the relationship between certain genes and miRNAs in predicting the response of T1 G3 urothelial carcinoma patients to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy amid the absence of definitive markers for recurrence or progression.
  • Results show that BCG non-responders had higher levels of miR-21 and STAG2, while they had lower levels of miR-31, Let7a, ARID1A, and UTX compared to responders.
  • Key findings suggest that specific gene expressions can be independent predictors for tumor recurrence and progression, highlighting the potential of using these genetic markers to improve treatment outcomes in UC patients.

Proliferation and apoptosis are two primary driving forces behind the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC is associated with Ki-67 and Bcl-2 overexpression, reduced Bax expression inducing disturbance of equilibrium between cellular proliferation and apoptosis, and exacerbated by reduced expression of PPAR-γ and FOXO-1. Our objective was to examine the mechanism by which the cyclic isoprenoid, β-ionone (βI), attenuated hepatocarcinogenesis and compare its possible anticancer activity with sorafenib (SF) as standard HCC treatment.

Oxidative and nitrosative stress-induced endothelial cell damage play an essential role in the pathogenesis of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. IR is associated with reduced eNOS expression and exacerbated by superimposed stress. NOSTRIN induces intracellular endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) translocation and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) increases nitric oxide (NO) production.
