Article Abstract
The current study aimed to investigate the protective role of polydatin (PD) and grape seed extracts (GSEs) against the effects of cadmium chlorine (CD) application in the rats. Forty-nine adult Wistar albino male rats were used in the study. Rats were assigned into control (saline), CD (5 mg/kg CdCI), PD (120 mg/kg PD), GSE (120 mg/kg GSE), CD + PD (5 mg/kg CdCI + 120 mg/kg PD), CD + GSE (5 mg/kg CdCI + 120 mg GSE), and CD + PD + GSE (5 mg/kg CdCI+120 mg/kg PD +120 mg/kg GSE) treatments ( = 7 per group). The treatments were administered orally for four weeks. CD accumulation was observed in all tissues studied except for the brain tissue. PD and GSE inhibited CD accumulation in erythrocytes and tissues at varying levels. The liver, kidney, brain, and testes showed extensive degenerative histopathological changes in CD group. Liver total oxidant status (TOS) in the CD group increased significantly compared to the control. TOS of kidney, brain, and testis suggested that PD and GSE did not show a strong antioxidant effect in these tissues. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in blood and liver raised significantly in CD-treated rats compared to controls. PD, GSE, and their combinations increased antioxidant potential in all tissues and decreased MDA levels in blood plasma and liver. Overall, the protective effects of PD were more effective than GSE. Results suggested that although the initiation of histopathological changes was present in all tissues, the initiating factor was not the oxidative stress in the tissues studied except for the liver and blood.

Background: Mobile health (mHealth) interventions can be effective for people living with HIV, who are sensitive to privacy breach risks. Understanding the perceived experiences of intervention participants can provide comprehensive insights into potential users and predict intervention effectiveness. Thus, it is necessary to plan engagement measurement and consider ways to enhance engagement during the app development phase.

20(R)-ginsenoside Rg3 can reduce the effects of oxidative stress and cell death in cerebral ischemia‒reperfusion injury (CIRI). Neuroinflammation is crucial post-CIRI, but how 20(R)-Rg3 affects ischemia‒reperfusion-induced neuroinflammation is unclear. To study 20(R)-Rg3's effects on neuroinflammation and neuronal preservation in stroke models and explore toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor-88/nuclear factor kappa B (TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB) pathway mechanisms.

In recent years, the hydrazide skeleton, as a pivotal class of nitrogen-containing structures, has garnered considerable attention in medicinal chemistry and organic synthesis owing to its unique chemical versatility and broad-spectrum biological activities. In this study, a series of thiazole-containing benzoylhydrazine derivatives -, -, and - with structural divergence from conventional hydrazide-based molecular frameworks were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their antifungal/antioomycete activities. The antifungal/antioomycete assay showed that some of the targeted compounds exhibited remarkable and broad-spectrum antifungal activities.

Aims: Although the ability of the heart to adapt to environmental stress has been studied extensively, the molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for cardioprotection are not yet fully understood. In this study, we sought to elucidate these mechanisms for cytoprotection using a model of stress-induced cardiomyopathy.
Methods And Results: We administered Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists or diluent to wild-type mice and assessed for cardioprotection against injury from a high intraperitoneal dose of isoproterenol (ISO) administered 7 days later.
