    Abstract Objective: The aim: The present study aims to study the effect of DMF on ciprofloxacin-induced liver damage as assessed by liver function and liver pathology and to study this effect if it is thought to activate the Nrf2 antioxidant defense mechanism.
    Patients and methods: Materials and methods: G1 (control), G2 (ciprofloxacin group), G3 and G4 (two DMF groups rats treated with DMF 50mg and 100mg), and G5 and G6 (two DMF groups rats treated with DMF 50mg and 100mg) (two ciprofloxacin Plus DMF at 50 mg and 100 mg). The tests included study of liver function, Nrf2 analysis, and anti-oxidant enzyme analysis.
    Results: Results: The serum blood Nrf2, HO-1, and tissue anti-oxidant enzymes all increased after ciprofloxacin treatment. The serum levels of Nrf2 and HO-1 were higher in the ciprofloxacin plus DMF groups, but anti-oxidant enzymes were lower. DMF increased Nrf2 expression in rats when ciprofloxacin caused hepatotoxicity.
    Conclusion: Conclusions: DMF lowers experimental hepatotoxicity in vivo. This effect is thought to activate the Nrf2 antioxidant defense mechanism.

    Abstract Objective: The aim: The purpose of the research was to study the role of infiximab global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.
    Patients and methods: Materials and methods: The rats were split into five groups: Sham group; Control group: occlusion of the common carotid artery for 60 minutes, and sub-sequently reperfusion for an hour without receiving any medication; Vehicle group: as the control group, but 72 hours before to the ischemia, they were given the medication 0.9 NaCl intraperitoneally (i.p); Treated group-1: as the control group, plus 3 mg/kg of IFX intraperitoneally (i.p) 72 hours prior to ischemia; Treated group-2: as the control group, plus 7 mg/kg of IFX intraperitoneally (i.p) 72 hours prior to ischemia.
    Results: Results: Pre-treatment with IFX significantly reduced the percentage of infarct area, but in the IFX (7 mg/kg) group, the infarct area was smaller than at the low dose. The ischemia group had a significant elevated of TNF- α and caspase-3 while a significant lowered in CAT and SOD levels. The pre-treatment with IFX, the TNF- α and caspase-3 levels lowered significantly, furthermore, significantly increased CAT and SOD levels activity (P≤0.05) as compared with IR group. Among effective groups, I/R+IFX (7mg/kg) group more effective in lowering TNF- α and caspase than I/R+IFX (3mg/kg) group.
    Conclusion: Conclusions: Infiximab has neuroprotective effective due to its powerful TNF- α blocker and limit ROS release and cell death signaling which protects the neurons from injury during cerebral ischemia reperfusion.

    Abstract Background: South Asian region has been experiencing the increasing burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) primarily due to over and irrational prescribing of antibiotics. Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are the leading cause of out-patients' visits in the region. Despite commonly known viral aetiology, ARI is the single largest reason for antibiotic prescriptions contributing the exponential growth of AMR in the region. Collated data on antibiotic consumption for ARI at outpatients and resistance pattern of respiratory pathogen are lacking in the region.
    Methods: MEDLINE, Cochrane, CINAHL Plus (EBSCO), and Web of Science will be searched for eligible papers. Titles and abstracts, and full texts of the relevant studies will be screened by 2 independent reviewers against the inclusion criteria. Data extraction and quality of the studies will be assessed by 2 reviewers independently using the JBI Critical Appraisal Tools. A third reviewer will resolve any disagreement at any point between 2 reviewers.
    Results: The review will assess proportions of ARI patients receiving antibiotic therapy and types of antibiotics prescribed among outpatients of all ages in South Asia. This review will also assess the pattern of antimicrobial resistance among respiratory pathogens causing ARI in the region.
    Conclusions: This systematic review will evaluate published literature, summarize the existing data on the antibiotic prescribing patterns for outpatients with ARI in South Asia. The holistic finding of the proportion of patients receiving antibiotic therapy for ARI, proportion of different types of antibiotic received, and resistance against respiratory pathogen might guide future research. This underscores a need for formulating regional and national policy for AMR mitigation strategy, and revising clinical practice guidelines for the clinician to ensure rational use of antibiotics for ARI.

    Abstract The PPAR family of transcription factors are ligand-activated and regulate diverse functions including metabolic, neurological, and inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, fertility or reproduction in the body. Specifically, PPARα is known to play a role in reducing the levels of circulating triglycerides and regulating energy homeostasis in livestock animals. This study aimed to identify phytochemicals that could serve as ligands for modulation of the bovine nuclear peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) using molecular docking studies. Therefore, we investigated 1000 flavonoids belonging to different groups for their ability to bind to PPARα using molecular docking. Out of 1000, 6 top lead compounds with maximum binding affinity, evaluated through molecular docking, were further analysed for physicochemical properties and drug-likeness attributes. The results revealed that two flavonoids, Quercetin-3-o-rhamnoside and (-)- epicatechingallate, which are known fatty acid synthase inhibitors, demonstrated high docking scores with PPARα (-8.66 kcal/mol and -8.49 kcal/mol, respectively) and low RMSD values with PPARα (1.61 kcal/mol and 1.28 kcal/mol, respectively) as compared to PPARα agonist (

    Abstract The present study describes the development of multifunctional hemostatic sponges to control bleeding. Chitosan (Ch) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were selected as the basic polymeric matrix [Ch/PVA] for sponges. Glycerol and citric acid were used as crosslinkers [Ch/PVA/G(Cl)] to enhance the mechanical properties of the developed sponges. Ciprofloxacin (AB) was added to the developed sponge to impart antibacterial activity. Hydroxyapatite (HA) was also added, which would make the sponge suitable for bone surgery. Among the developed sponges, the Ch/PVA/G(Cl)-HA-AB sponge demonstrated enhanced cell viability, mechanical properties, and strong antimicrobial effect against

    Abstract Heart disease is a severe disorder, which inflicts an adverse burden on all societies and leads to prolonged suffering and disability. We developed a risk evaluation model based on visible low-cost significant noninvasive attributes using hyperparameter optimization of machine learning techniques. The multiple set of risk attributes is selected and ranked by the recursive feature elimination technique. The assigned rank and value to each attribute are validated and approved by the choice of medical domain experts. The enhancements of applying specific optimized techniques like decision tree, k-nearest neighbor, random forest, and support vector machine to the risk attributes are tested. Experimental results show that the optimized random forest risk model outperforms other models with the highest sensitivity, specificity, precision, accuracy, AUROC score, and minimum misclassification rate. We simulate the results with the prevailing research; they show that it can do better than the existing risk assessment models with exceptional predictive accuracy. The model is applicable in rural areas where people lack an adequate supply of primary healthcare services and encounter barriers to benefit from integrated elementary healthcare advances for initial prediction. Although this research develops a low-cost risk evaluation model, additional research is needed to understand newly identified discoveries about the disease.
