    Abstract Various methods are used for analyzing the status of the human body. In digestive system, myoelectrical activity is recorded from the abdominal surface. Frequency and power of Gastrointestinal (GI) activity is usually assessed using power spectral analysis. However, spectral analysis of GI electrical activity is a nonspecific test, failing to distinguish diseases. Other dimensions of GI electrical waves may help identify diseases more precisely. Studying complex systems is one of the approaches that can be taken for research on body systems. The dynamic variability of a complex system is estimated by nonlinear methods. Previous studies have identified how functional dynamic variability of organs differ in normal and disease conditions. Variation of electroencephalogram, heart rate, and respiratory rate are known examples of system dynamic fluctuation. If we consider the digestive tract as a complex system, the dynamic variation of the waves in the GI system could be analyzed by nonlinear methods to possibly help clinicians assess various conditions of the GI system in healthy subjects and patients.

    Abstract Introduction: Farnesoid-X-activated receptor (FXR) is considered as an upstream controller which could influence the other key regulatory genes encoding cellular antioxidant defense system.
    Methods: Thirty-five male Wistar rats (240 ± 20 g) were randomly allocated into five groups: 1) control, 2) received gentamicin (100 mg/kg/d) for three days (GM-3d), 3) seven days (GM-7d), 4) 10 days (GM-10d), and 5) 14 consecutive days (GM-14d). Biochemical measurements of BUN and serum creatinine (SCr), histological assessment of renal samples as well as molecular analysis using real-time qRT-PCR were used to investigate the pattern of changes in different levels.
    Results: Administration of gentamicin was associated with a significant increase in the BUN and SCr until the 10th day, which then suddenly dropped at the day 14. Meantime, the maximum histological distortion was also seen on the 10th day but in a similar pattern, 14th day was associated with clear improvement. Compared to the control value, the maximum reduction in the mRNA expression of Farnesoid X-activated receptor (FXR), nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Glutathione cysteine ligase-modulatory subunit (GCLM), occurred at the 3rd and 7th days, respectively. Compared to the control, the mRNA expression of the mentioned genes significantly increased up to day 14. Apart from the 3rd day, the mRNA expression of alpha-glutathione S-transferase (α-GST) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) showed a similar descending and ascending pattern at 7th and 10th days, respectively.
    Conclusion: The expression of FXR, as an upstream controller gene and its downstream pathways mediated by Nrf2, could play a role in gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity but the pattern of expression was rather biphasic at the acute phase or the subacute ones.  DOI: 10.52547/ijkd.7523.

    Abstract Tremor is one of the effects of nicotine as a toxic substance, especially in animal models. The intensity and duration of tremors were used to evaluate the effect of nicotine on locomotor activity in laboratory animals. In our observations, the time interval between nicotine injection and the onset of tremor changed depending on the dose. Therefore, by increasing the dose of nicotine in rats, the time interval of tremor onset was also shortened. These results suggest that the time interval between nicotine injection and the onset of tremors can be used as a complementary index for better evaluation of nicotine-derived motor disturbances.

    Abstract Background: Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy is a well-recognized cardiac dysfunction in cirrhotic patients. Studies have confirmed the protective effects of silymarin in different types of cardiac injury. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness and molecular mechanism of silymarin against myocardial dysfunction and hypertrophy in a rat model of cirrhosis.
    Methods: The experiment was performed at Alborz University of Medical Sciences (Karaj, Iran) during 2020-2021. Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups of Sham-operated (control group for surgical procedures), Bile Duct Ligated (BDL), and two Silymarin extract (SE)-treated groups of 300 and 600 mg/Kg/day. After 28 days, serum levels of AST, ALT, GGT, and ALP, liver histopathological status, as well as cardiac mechanical function, were assessed. Cardiac β
    Results: BDL was associated with a significant elevation in serum AST, ALT, GGT, and ALP, development of necrosis and fibrosis of the liver texture, increased Heart Weight and Heart Weight to Body Weight ratio, enhanced cardiac mechanical function as well as a significant up-regulation of ventricular β
    Conclusion: Silymarin treatment in higher dose attenuated cirrhosis-associated cardiac remodeling and reduced cardiac mechanical dysfunctions.
