Article Abstract
Cisplatin accumulates in mitochondria, which is a potent and widely used chemotherapeutic agent. In order to clarify the potential effect of cisplatin on electron transport chain (ETC), the variation of succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and cytochrome c oxidase (COX) enzyme activities, nucleotide levels, as well as catalase (CAT) enzyme and membrane lipid peroxidation (LPO) level with respect to liver and kidney of cisplatin-exposed rats were studied. We found that cisplatin caused significant impairment in the SDH, COX, and CAT activities, and nucleotide levels associated with membrane LPO in isolated mitochondria. It was determined whether capsaicin, as an antioxidant, has a possible protective role on all investigated parameters of liver and kidney induced by cisplatin. The results of capsaicin + cisplatin suggest that capsaicin have antioxidant capacity to scavenge ROS to prevent membrane damage.

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with liver cirrhosis represents a significant clinical challenge with high mortality rates. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based prediction model for 28-day mortality in AKI patients with liver cirrhosis using the MIMIC-IV database.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from 4,168 AKI patients, including 601 with concurrent liver cirrhosis, from the MIMIC-IV database.

Copper (Cu) supplementation is essential in pig nutrition; however, its effects on performance, trace element accumulation in edible tissues, and environmental excretion require careful evaluation. In the present study a total of 24 male, castrated fattening pigs of two different hybrid mast lines (11 weeks of age) were divided according to their initial body weight (25.8 ± 3.

One of the major hurdles in solid organ transplantation is graft rejection, which must be prevented with lifelong general immunosuppression. However, modern maintenance immunosuppression is accompanied by serious side effects, such as an increased risk of infection and malignancies. The search for alternative therapies specifically controlling allogeneic responses is fueling renewed interest in extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP).

In mammals, cholesterol accumulation in tissues often results in health damage, such as oxidative stress. In contrast, the adverse effects of cholesterol accumulation on the physiological health of fish remain largely unexplored. The present study investigated the impacts of cholesterol accumulation on oxidative stress and the potential mechanisms involved in Nile tilapia ().

Introduction: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignant tumor of the digestive tract. The FOLFOX regimen (oxaliplatin + calcium folinate + 5-fluorouracil) serves as the primary treatment for advanced CRC clinically, yet its application is significantly limited by substantial toxic side effects. Erianin, a natural compound from Chinese medicine Lindl, demonstrates significant potential in both tumor growth inhibition and chemotherapy toxicity reduction.
