Effect of Royal jelly and Date Palm Pollen Suspension on Fertility in Adult Male Rats Exposed to Sodium Valproate

Valproate (VPA) is a wide range antiepileptic drug (AED) used by most idiopathic and symptomatic generalized epilepsy as a first-line agent. In humans, it has been demonstrated that valproate induce endocrine disorders in both sexes. This study was intended to evaluate the effect of royal jelly and date palm pollen (DPP) against testicular toxicity induced by sodium valproate in male rats. Thirty mature male albino rats were divided into five groups of sex rats. Group(1), as negative control group, whereas the other four groups received sodium valproate (500mg/ kg / day) for one week and divided into submain groups: group (2) as positive control group, group (3) given sildenafil citrate (5 mg/kg) via a stomach tube daily respectively for 28 days, group (4) received daily gavages of aqueous suspensions date palm pollen by stomach tube (240 mg/kg) and group (5) received daily gavages of aqueous suspensions royal jelly by stomach tube (200 mg/kg. diet) . At the end of the treatment period (28 days), rats were sacrificed, weights of sexual organ recorded and their sperm characteristics count, antioxidant enzyme factors levels (catalase , superoxide dismutase ( and malondialdehyde were assessed in testicular tissue .Serum sex hormone levels (testosterone, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) and liver function were analyzed. Histopathological examination was done for the left testis. Results showed that the experimental treatments improved liver function, sperm parameters, antioxidant enzyme activity and testosterone hormone levels, Therefore, the administration of royal jelly and date palm pollen may be beneficial for improving male sexual performance.
Cell Surface Analysis and Adhesion of Chemically Modified Streptococci

In this paper, streptococcal cell surfaces are chemically modified, and the effects of the modification on cell surface hydrophobicity and charge, together with adhesion to hexadecane are determined. Acetic and succinic anhydrides, neutralizing or converting ammonium groups into negatively charged groups, respectively, had little influence on the water contact angle of the Streptococcus salivarius HB, but acetic anhydride modification reduced the water contact angle of the slightly more hydrophobic Streptococcus oralis 34 from 74 to 58 degrees. This reduction in water contact angle was accompanied by a more negatively charged cell surface, as inferred from particulate microelectrophoresis and a decrease in the amount of nitrogen-rich surface groups, detected by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Carbodiimide followed by ethanolamine or ethylenediamine, compensating negatively charged carboxylate groups, slightly increased the water contact angles on the hydrophobic S. oralis 34, but strongly increased the water contact angle on S. salivarius HB by 32 degrees on average. Simultaneously, both strains became positively charged over the pH range from 2 to 9 and more nitrogen-rich groups were detected on the cell surfaces at the expense of oxygen-rich groups. Adhesion to hexadecane of the streptococcal strains was hardly affected by anhydride modifications, but both strains adhered better to hexadecane after ethanolamine or ethylenediamine modifications, especially at elevated pH values due to electrostatic attraction between the negatively charged hexadecane and the positively charged cell surfaces. This study shows that physico-chemical cell surface properties of streptococci can be chemically modified to stimulate their adhesion to surfaces.

Modeling the Consequences of Benzene Leakage from Tank using ALOHA in Tar Refining Industrial of Kerman, Iran

The emission and dispersion of pollutants from the tanks of coking and tar refining industries in the environment is always probable. This study aimed to evaluate the hazard radius of benzene release from the tank of one of the coking and tar refining industries. Areal Location of Hazardouse Atmosphere (ALOHA) model Version 5.4. 7 was used to predict the hazard radius of leakage and dispersion of benzene from a tank in different seasons. The maps of the toxic and flammable vapor cloud of benzene, evaporation rate from puddle and the concentration of toxic and flammable vapor cloud inside and outside of the office building were prepared. The results indicated that the maximum average benzene released from the tank was 282 Kg/min and the total amount of benzene leakage was 11997 kg in 60 min in summer. The maximum diameter of the created evaporating puddle was 71 m in autumn. The maximum toxic and flammable concentrations of benzene inside an office building were 772 and 936 ppm, respectively whilethey were 3720 and 3540 ppm outside a building in autumn. Based on the Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGL) and Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) criterias, the maximum hazard radius was 1200 and 200 m in autumn. The toxic vapor cloud of benzene covered some parts of the adjacent coking plant. However, the boundaries of the flammable vapor cloud failed to reach the adjacent industries. The scenario of this study is safe for the adjacent residents and unsafe for the personnel. Thus, presenting a strategy to deal with this process incident is essential.
Dual - Stage Learning Approach Towards Continuous Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitoring

Hypertension, being one of the associated factors of cardiovascular diseases needs to be monitored on the continuous manner to track the rapid BP changes. The paper proposes a dual-stage blood pressure estimation approach using the suitable features from Photoplethysmogram and machine learning models. The method initially classifies the given data among 4 classes given by British Hypertension Society (BHS). Further, the classified data is predicted from one of the four models. The 105 medical records consisting of clinical and digitalized signal data of 125 Hz are taken from the MIMIC-III database for the process. The dual-stage approach for the classification and estimation of BP outperforms the existing method by relative improvement in the MAE and RMSE by 64.4% and 36.37 % for systolic BP and 40.1% and 22.9% for diastolic BP respectively.

ANTI-CARIOGENIC POTENTIALS OF VITEX NEGUNDO LINN

Vitex negundo Linn. (Verbenaceae), is an ethnobotanical important shrub carrying a large array of pharmacologically active phytochemicals with diverse medicinal properties. Present study assessed the antibacterial activities of leaf and twig (without leaf) bioactives against common oral bacterial inhabitants viz., Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus oralis, Streptococcus gordonii, Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus casei. Leaf and twig dried powdered samples of V. negundo were separately fractionated by five solvents in eluotropic series namely petroleum-ether, chloroform, absolute-ethanol, 80%-methanol and distilled-water. Extracts were further analyzed for total phenolic contents (TPC), flavonoids (TFC), tannins, alkaloids and terpenoids. Zone of inhibition, MIC, MBC and IC50 values of the fractionated extracts against oral bacterial pathogens were determined. The results demonstrated significantly higher antibacterial activity in ethanolic extracts (VnLEt) and chloroform (VnLCh) extracts of leaves as evident by their higher ZOI and lower MIC, MBC and IC50 values. VnLEt extracts showed bactericidal effects against all the tested six bacterial pathogens (L. casei>St. gordonii>Staphylococcus aureus>L. brevis>St. oralis=St. mutans). VnLCh showed notable bactericidal effects against five pathogens (L. casei>St. mutans>St. gordonii>Staphylococcus aureus) but remained ineffective against St. oralis and L. brevis. Among twig extracts, ethanolic extracts showed inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus, St. gordonii and St. mutans while chloroform extracts showed antibacterial effect only against Staphylococcus aureus. VnLEt extract showed abundance in TPC, TFC and tannins while VnLCh was rich in alkaloids and terpenoid suggesting their contribution in bactericidal effects against cariogenic bacterial pathogens. Hence, the present study successfully established V. negundo leaf extracts as an excellent natural remedy for oral-dental infections.

Comparative study between fluoroscopic-guided and ultrasound-guided genicular nerve pulsed radiofrequency neurotomy for painful knee osteoarthritis

Introduction: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) has become a worldwide health issue. Genicular nerve ablation has been used for the management of pain in knee osteoarthritis patients. This study aims to compare between fluoroscopy and ultrasound-guided genicular ablation. Patients and methods: A total of 30 cases were included, after approval of the ethics committee at sohag university, and they were divided into two groups, 15 cases underwent the fluoroscopic guided procedure, while the other 15 cases underwent the ultrasoundguided procedure. Both VAS and WOMAC scores were assessed and recorded in all cases after 1-, 3-, and 6-month follow-up visits. Results: Patient demographics and characters did not differ significantly between the two groups. Both groups showed a marked improvement of both scores when compared to their basal score. However, the ultrasound group showed a marked improvement compared to fluoroscopy. Conclusion: Based on our study findings, we believe that ultrasound-guided genicular verve ablation provides better results compared to the fluoroscopic guided procedure. However, fluoroscopy still provides an effective guidance method.
Tribal Mobility and COVID-19: An Urban-Rural Analysis in New Mexico

Tribal communities have experienced disproportionately high infection and death rates during the COVID-19 pandemic [1, 8, 31]. In this work, we examine COVID-19 case growth in proximity to significant tribal presence by providing a novel quantification of human mobility patterns across tribal boundaries and between urban and rural regions at the geographical resolution of census block groups. We use New Mexico as a case study due to its severe case infection rates; however, our methodologies generalize to other states. Results show that tribal mobility is uniquely high relative to baseline in counties with significant case counts. Furthermore, mobility patterns in tribal regions correlate more highly than any other region with case growth patterns in the surrounding county 13-16 days later. Our initial results present a quantification scheme for the underlying differences in human mobility between tribal/non-tribal and rural/urban regions with the goal of informing public health policy that meets the differing needs of these communities.
ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A SURFACTANT-STABLE PROTEASE FROM HALOPHILIC

The protease from Chromohalobacter japonicus BK-AB18 was produced by growing bacteria in a LB medium containing 5% casein and 5% NaCl. The crude protease was partially purified by three levels of ammonium sulfate concentration (ranges of 0–70%, 70–75% and 75–80%) and the highest specific activity was exhibited in the range of 75–80%. The enzyme has a relative molecular weight of 65 kDa. The protease in this fraction had the highest activity in the following optimum conditions: 7.5% NaCl, a pH of 9.0 and a temperature of 45°C. The activity of the enzyme at the optimum pH and temperature was enhanced by the addition of a Ca2+ ion, but its activity was significantly inhibited by EDTA, hence this enzyme is included as metalloenzyme. Interestingly, the protease activity increased when exposed to a concentration of 0.01% and 0.05% SDS, and was relatively stable in this solution up to a concentration of 10%. It is thus demonstrated that C. japonicus BK-AB18 is a potential source to produce extracellular protease that can be applied in the surfactant/detergent industry.

Eficacia clínica y observación dinámica de CT de Reteplase combinada con uroquinasa en el tratamiento de la embolia pulmonar de riesgo medio Clinical Efficacy and Dynamic CT Observation of Reteplase Combined with Urokinase in Treatment of Middle-risk Pulmonary Embolism

Pulmonary embolism is a clinical and pathophysiological syndrome that causes pulmonary circulatory disorders due to endogenous or exogenous emboli that block the trunk or branches of the pulmonary artery. This article compares the clinical efficacy of reteplase and urokinase in the treatment of middle-risk pulmonary embolism. All patients were divided into the reteplase group and the urokinase group according to different treatment regimens, and the thrombolytic effects of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results After treatment, D-dimer, troponin T, N-Pro BNP and PASP were lower than before treatment (P < 0.05), Pa O2 was higher than before treatment, and two groups of patients before treatment and treatment There was no significant difference in D-dimer and troponin T between the 24 hours, but the difference between PaOT2, N-Pro BNP and PASP in the reteplase group was significantly greater than that in the urokinase group (P<0.05). It can be seen that both reteplase and urokinase can be used to treat PTE in acute intermediate-risk group. However, in patients with middle-risk pulmonary embolism during hospitalization, reteplase thrombolytic therapy is superior to urokinase.
