Article Abstract
Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) binds copper and zinc ions and is one of three superoxide dismutases responsible for destroying free superoxide radicals in the body. Reactive oxygen species (ROS), including free superoxide radicals, play important roles in colitis. However, the role of SOD1 in oxidative stress under colitis remains unclear. Here, we examined the role of SOD1 in the DSS-induced mouse model of colitis. SOD1 deficiency resulted in severe oxidative stress with body weight loss, epithelial barrier disruption and decreased antioxidant enzyme activities. The levels of neutrophils, monocytes, pro-inflammatory CD11c macrophages and CD11bCD103 dendritic cells (DCs) were increased, while anti-inflammatory CD206 macrophages and CD11bCD103 DCs were decreased, in DSS-treated SOD1-knockout (KO) mice compared to DSS-treated wild-type mice. Furthermore, rescue of SOD activity in SOD1-KO mice by oral gavage of B. amyloliquefaciens SOD (BA SOD) significantly ameliorated enhanced DSS-induced colitis in these mice by suppressing p38-MAPK/NF-κB signaling, which can induce inflammation and apoptosis. Taken together, our results suggest that SOD1-mediated inhibitory responses play a crucial role in limiting the development of DSS-induced colitis, and that BA SOD is a promising candidate for treating colitis.

Blue light, defined as short-wavelength visible light ranging from 400 to 500 nm, is recognized for its high energy within the visible light spectrum. The prevalent use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has significantly increased exposure to blue light.

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effects of bupivacaine on acute kidney injury (AKI) through kidney function parameters and cardiac tissue damage via TRPM2, HSP70, TLR4, NF-κB, and TNF-α biomarkers.
Material And Method: Male Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups, with seven rats in each group: Control group, AKI group (kidney damage induced by glycerol), AKI + L group (group treated with bupivacaine), and L group (group treated with bupivacaine alone). At the end of the experiment, kidney and heart tissues were collected for histological analysis, and serum samples were taken for biochemical analysis.
