    The purpose of this study is to measure the effects of acrylamide (AA) on bone marrow and blood and the protective efficacy of boric acid (B) in rats. The animals were divided into five groups: control, B, low-dose B + AA, and high-dose B + AA. After the 15 th day of the experiment, their blood and bone marrow were harvested to be kept for hematological analyses. While white blood cells (WBC) increased following the administration of AA, bodyweight, red blood cells, platelets, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and bone marrow nucleated cell counts significantly decreased in number. Conversely, bodyweight and all these hematological parameters significantly increased apart from WBC in the B + AA groups AA when compared to the control. However, high-dose B was more effective than low-dose B in preventing AA-induced bone marrow and hematological damage. The present study suggests that B treatment could help protect bone marrow and hematological parameters against AA-induced toxicity.

    Background: The green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles has recently become a research area of increasing interest due to their potential applications in nanomedicine. Aim of study: This study aimed to investigate, for the first time, the anticancer properties of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs), copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs), and nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiO-NPs) on A549 and Beas-2B cell lines, as well as their antibacterial efficacy against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus strains, synthesized through a green synthesis approach utilizing Rheum ribes plant extract. Methodology: The current study introduces a sustainable and environmentally friendly method for the biosynthesis of Ag-NPs, CuO-NPs, and NiO-NPs utilizing the aqueous extract of Rhubarb (Rheum ribes). The spectroscopic and morphological properties of the Ag-NPs, CuO-NPs, and NiO-NPs obtained from the Rheum ribes extract were confirmed using different analytical techniques. Results: The Ag-NPs, CuO-NPs, and NiO-NPs exhibited different morphology with a size of about 7.90, 12.0, and 12.63 nm, respectively, and were free of impurities and highly stable particles. In addition, the NPs were further investigated for their anticancer and antibacterial properties. The anticancer effects of the NPs were assessed using the MTT assay and confocal microscopy in non-small cell lung cancer (A549) and healthy lung (Beas-2B) cells. The study results demonstrated that Ag-NPs, CuO-NPs, and NiO-NPs had cytotoxic effects on A549 cells that were concentration-based, having IC50 values of 4.16, 21.28, and 37.68 μg/mL, in that order. Additionally, it was observed that the above-mentioned NPs exhibited strong activity against bacteria. Conclusions: The nanoparticles derived from Rheum ribes extract appear to hold great potential as a class of nano-biomaterials intended for usage in biological fields.

    Protective Effect of Escin Against Kidney Injury: Histopathological and Biochemical Evaluations
    (MDPI AG, 2024-11-25) Mustafa Cengiz; Betül Peker Cengiz; Alanna Teixeira Andrade; Adnan Ayhanci
    The purpose of the current study was to find out whether escin (ES) safeguarded experimental rats against cyclophosphamide (CP)-induced kidney injury. Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into four groups (n = 6). After the examination, histological and biochemical analyses were performed to assess the alterations in kidney tissue. According to histologic and biochemical analyses, renal tissue in the CP group suffered significant damage by CP. There was a significant improvement in histological damage in the group receiving CP+ES together. This suggests that ES significantly protects the kidney’s functional characteristics. The present study concludes by highlighting histological and biochemical studies to illustrate the ability of ES to cure kidney injury caused by CP and its influence on the relationship between oxidative stress, apoptosis, and renal failure. © 2024 by the authors.
