description: Theranostic is defined as a material that combines the modalities of therapy and diagnostic imaging. In the present study, we synthesized nitroxide-based theranostic probes, and employed these theranostic compounds to brain disease model mice for treatment and diagnostic. For theranostics, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ibuprofen and ketoprofen, were chosen; for diagnostic redox imaging probes, paramagnetic pyrroridine nitroxides were chosen. Ibuprofen or ketoprofen was connected to nitroxide imaging probes by a condensation reaction. Ibuprofen and ketoprofen alone cannot pass the blood-brain barrier (BBB); however, the synthesized theranostic drugs have ester groups and have a possibility to cross the BBB. MRI of mouse heads after administration of theranostic drugs clearly indicated that these theranostics can enter the mouse brain by passing BBB. Once reached in the brain, these theranostics were readily separated into the anti-inflammatory drug and imaging probe. The therapeutic capabilities of these theranostics were examined using a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced brain inflammation model. The production of nitric oxide in septic mouse brains induced by LPS was remarkably inhibited by the administration of these theranostics. In conclusion, nitroxide-based theranostics act both as anti-inflammatory drugs and as redox-sensitive imaging probes in septic mouse brains.

Religion in Nabataea
Creators: name: Accettola, Anna
Publisher: name: Database of Religious History (DRH)
Year: 2022

description: Religion in Nabataea was a confluence of native and foreign deities and practices which spread across the Arabian desert. Ranging from the worship of betyl blocks to figural sculpture, sacred high places to Greco- Roman temples, priestly worship in sacred places to traveling pocket-sized 'eye-idols,' religious practice adapted readily to the many needs of its people and the cultural heterogeneity which permeated the region. While the concept of a “Nabataean religion” is inauthentic, a general understanding of the polytheistic religious practice within the area controlled by the Nabataean king can be reconstructed from material evidence and the few remaining literary sources. Aniconic blocks are the most common aspect of Nabataean worship, in Petra and throughout the region. These rectangular blocks, sometimes including eye stones or engravings called ‘eye-idols,’ were often dedicated to the primary deities of Nabataean polytheism, specifically Dushara and al-Uzza. Ritual feasting was also an important aspect of religious tradition, as was common in other Near Eastern and Semitic religious groups. These feasts took place commonly in triclinia as part of sacrificial and funerary ceremonies. Sacrifices, perhaps of live animals, but more likely of clay figurines, were fundamental aspects of these ceremonies. Egyptian, Persian, and Greco- Roman influences were clearly prominent in the art and architecture of main Nabataean cities, including figural depictions of deities which was unusual for the aniconic traditions of the Nabataeans. While foreign deities were often amalgamated with Nabataean deities, such as Dushara-Zeus-Dionysus and al-Uzza-Isis- Aphrodite Ourania, the syncretization remained largely in public urban spaces. In practice, religious traditions seem to have remained unchanged even with the on-going contact with foreigners. Few foreign influences have been found in private spaces, sacred high places, or rural areas. As Nabataeans spread into the Mediterranean, for political and economic purposes during the later part of the Hellenistic period, their worship of the high god Dushara traveled with them. Cultic sites and altars dedicated to Dushara have been found as far away as Puteoli, Italy. This is likely due to the strong connection between Nabataean kingship and Dushara. While the king played a role in religious practice, much still remains unknown about the roles of worshippers and the organization of religion in Nabataea due to the lack of written records by contemporary, Nabataean sources.

Subjects: subject: African Women
subject: Women organizing

description: A study which looks at women’s organizations in Africa from various perspectives, including those which seeks “ways of seeing and knowing that move forward a feminist agenda,” and celebrates the experiences of being “woven in the text." This study is an effort to seek a deeper understanding of women's organizations in Africa, with the belief that understanding informs action. This search proceeds through several phases. First, I discuss how the way we "see" organizations influences how we work with them and create them. Starting with that idea, I develop a rationale for trying to view women's organizations from multiple perspectives, just as we increase our understanding of a sculpture by viewing from various angles and in various lights. Second, I delineate four broad and interconnected ways of seeing women in society, evident in literature relevant to studying African women. These ways of seeing are: - woman's sphere and woman's power - gender-class relationships - ideology and consciousness - women's voices For each way of seeing, I evaluate what it contributes to understanding African women's experience, and discuss the implications it holds for analyzing women's organizations. Finally I discuss what insights the four ways of seeing might offer to those who work with women's organizations. In looking at women's organizations, and at the frameworks that help us understand them, I am seeking ways of seeing and knowing that move forward a feminist agenda defined in these terms, and celebrate the experiences of being a woman in all their variety.

Oxidative signaling in organellar homeostatic mechanisms
Creators: name: Danon, Avihai
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: The growing number of reports suggesting that redox signaling is prevalent in both mitochondria and chloroplasts also under homeostatic conditions raise several important questions. While oxidative signals are thought to occur primarily by stress-induced production of increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), homeostatic conditions, under which organisms prosper, are relatively devoid of stress, and, thus, might contain only low levels of ROS. Hence, are the low ROS levels sufficient for functional oxidative signaling in homeostasis and if yes what are underlying transduction mechanisms? Our latest findings identified a path of low-level oxidative signal, which attenuates AGPase, the first committed enzyme of starch synthesis in chloroplasts (1). Notably, the attenuating oxidative signal counterbalanced an independent activating reductive signal, and both signals combined to adjust a dynamic equilibrium of AGPase activity to small but abrupt changes in light intensity. Intriguingly, the finding of coexisting oxidative and reductive paths that transduce independent signals is in favor of specific paths for each of the reductive and the oxidative signals. Our latest yet unpublished results of redox signals in the regulation of thylakoids proteins further support these findings and contribute to our general understanding of low oxidative signals transduction.

Pro-apoptotic phytochemicals inhibit cell proliferation and promote oxidation of the typical 2-Cys peroxiredoxin proteins in Jurkat T-lymphoma cells

description: The mammalian typical 2-Cys peroxiredoxin (Prx) proteins have emerged as important sensors and transducers in the cellular response to oxidative stress. As intracellular hydrogen peroxide concentrations rise, they are detectable first as reduced monomers, then as oxidised dimers and finally as hyperoxidised monomers. Various cancer chemopreventive phytochemicals exert their effects by promoting oxidative stress. Oxidation of the typical 2-Cys Prx proteins could be due to increased production of hydrogen peroxide or inhibition of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR). To test these possibilities, we compared the effects of various pro-apoptotic phytochemicals on the proliferation of Jurkat T-lymphoma cells, the redox/oligomerization state of the typical 2-Cys Prx proteins within these cells and the TrxR enzyme activity of these cells. Terpinen-4-ol was the most effective promotor of the oxidation of the typical 2-Cys Prx proteins followed by diallyl trisulfide (DATS), diallyl disulphide (DADS) and then phenethyl isothiothiocyanate (PEITC). This order did not match with the order obtained for the inhibition of cell proliferation or the inhibition of TrxR enzyme activity. Thus, we conclude that the differing effectiveness of the different phytochemicals in inducing oxidation of the typical 2-Cys Prx proteins is more likely due to their differing effectiveness in promoting hydrogen peroxide production.

Nursing Care and Psychosocial Management in Families of Exploration Geologists: Addressing a Unique Occupational Health Challenge
Creators: name: Goswami, Sukanta
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Exploration geologists often endure prolonged fieldwork in remote areas, leading to long-term absences from home and imposing psychosocial, emotional, and sometimes physical health challenges on their families. This paper explores the psychosocial implications for the families of exploration geologists, identifies key stressors, and proposes a nursing and psychosocial care framework to address these issues. It also highlights the need for institutional support, telehealth interventions, and awareness programs to bridge the care gap. In several scientific and government organizations, especially within the geoscience community, it has become a recurring theme that some senior officials or managers (often perceived as "sadist bosses") dismiss the challenges faced by today’s field geologists by comparing them to the hardships of their own past. Remarks like "we had it worse in our time," are commonly used not as a means of empathy but as a tool for undermining current concerns. This mind-set not only discourages younger professionals but also creates a toxic culture that resists positive change. This paper addresses the emerging need for targeted nursing care and psychological support for such young geologist’s families, especially spouses and children. Using a case-study approach and supported by existing occupational and nursing literature, this study explores the stressors involved, identifies health outcomes, and proposes a nursing-based intervention model focused on community and telehealth engagement.

description: In the report we studied the influence of autologous serum (AS) on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in neutrophils isolated from the peripheral blood of donors in different age groups. The presented results show a new mechanism by which some environment factors (e.g., high temperature and ultraviolet light) impact oxidative stress inductors by changing the structure of AS proteins. These proteins effect the functions of the anti-stress genes that control anti-stress protein synthesis (Hsp70). The interaction of AS treated with heat or ultraviolet light with neutrophils evoked a reduction in ROS production at a temperature that was favorable for phagocytosis (37°C).

A negative correlation was found between the quantity of intracellular Hsp70 and the level of intracellular ROS production. Short-term heating stress (1 minute) at 42°C was followed by a prominent reduction in ROS production. The same effect was observed after treatment of neutrophils with adrenaline at concentrations of 10-4 and 10-5 M. Dexamethasone from the other stress hormone group did not evoke the same effect when provided at the same concentration.

The results of the investigation will be useful for future research into the influence of environment damage on anti-stress gene functions by means of autologous serum proteins.

description: Tea has been a popular health-promoting beverage worldwide and a fascinating field of research for decades. Tea flavonoids (TFLs), the major phenolic components in tea, have been reported to exhibit high antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory activities in vitro and in vivo. Fermentation with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is considered as a simple and valuable biotechnology for improving the safety, nutritional and sensory properties of various food products. This project aimed to examine the potential of LAB fermentation to enhance the stability and cellular uptake of TFLs, the overall antioxidant activity of tea extracts (TEs), and the protective effect of TEs against oxidative stress in human colon cell lines. Our findings indicate that LAB fermentation can be an efficient way to stabilize TFLs during food processing, to enhance TFL bioavailability and to protect colon cells from oxidative damage.

description: This study was designed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of Mangifera indica L. unripe peel. The extraction was done by individual cold percolation extraction method (hexane, acetone and aqueous). The antioxidant activity was evaluated using antioxidant assays like 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl free radical scavenging assay, hydroxyl radical scavenging assay, superoxide anion radical scavenging assay, ABTS radical cation scavenging assay, ferric-reducing antioxidant power and reducing capacity assessment. Total phenol and flavonoid content was also measured. The antioxidant activities showed different levels in different assays. The acetone extract showed better antioxidant activity as compared to other extracts. This suggests that the choice of solvent definitely and significantly influences the extraction of phenols and subsequently antioxidant activity. This study demonstrated that mango peel, can serve as a potential source of antioxidants for use in the preparation of dietary supplements or nutraceuticals, food ingradients, pharmaceutical and cosmetic products. The results indicate that this peel possesses antioxidant properties and has nutraceutical potential for the treatment of malnutrition.

description: In the brain of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the catalytic reduction of dioxygen by copper-loaded amyloid peptides (Ab) produces an oxidative stress considered as one of the features responsible for neuronal death. The regulation of copper homeostasis is now considered as a valuable target for the treatment of AD.1 The goal is not to chelate copper in view of excretion, but to reintroduce it into a physiological circulation, and make it available for copper proteins such as [Cu,Zn]-SOD or tyrosine oxydase.

Bis(8-aminoquinolines) L are copper-specific ligands able to efficiently extract copper from CuII–Ab.2 The resulting CuII–L complexes then release copper in the presence of glutathion.3 The CuI–GSH complex thus generated is able to transfer copper ion to the apo form of many copper proteins.

The bis(8-aminoquinolines), small molecules able to cross the blood-brain barrier, therefore behave as copper transfer agents between Ab and copper proteins under physiological conditions. They efficiently inhibit the loss of episodic memory in a non-transgenic mouse model of AD.4

Nevertheless,in the last few years, UVA radiation has been used in the nail industry moreand more often, but their effects on human health are still under debate [2,3].Tomatoes represent one of the most widely used and versatilefruit crops. They are consumed either fresh or processed into a wide range ofmanufactured products [4]. A new hybrid variety has been recently obtainedthrough quantitative trait loci pyramiding (named DHO). This variety has beenshown to be highly rich in phenols and to exhibit an anti-proliferativeactivity on human cancer cells, whereas it does not affect the growth of normalcells [5]. We analyzed the effects of hydrophilic DHO extracts on UVAstress-induced human keratinocyte cells (HaCaT). In particular, ROS generation,intracellular GSH and lipid peroxidation levels were evaluated, as well as oxidativedamage pathway, apoptosis ad inflammation response were analyzed. We found that DHO extractwas effective in counteracting the detrimental effects induced by UVA on HaCaT. We believe that this new hybrid can be used in thepreparation of skin care products.

Tell Afis (Syria)
Creators: name: Minunno, Giuseppe
Publisher: name: Database of Religious History (DRH)

description: Tell Afis is located in north-western inner Syria. The occupation of the site dates back to Late Neolithic and expanded in the Bronze Age, when the area was also exposed to Hittite political and cultural influence. The site, however, reached its peak in the Iron Age I-II, when the city became an Aramaean capital city named Hazrek (known as Hatarikka in the Assyrian sources and as Hadrach in the Bible). The ethnic components of the site population are difficult to identify, but probably included individuals of Aramaean, Luwian, and Phoenician origin. Several massive buildings of a probably religious character arose on its acropolis, and it is from this context that comes the Aramaic inscription of king Zakkur (ca. 790 BCE), now in the Louvre. Zakkur was a king of Hamath and Luath, whose homeland was possibly ‘Anah, on the middle Euphrates. In his inscription the king reports how the god Baalshamayn had saved him from the siege carried out by an enemy league led by the king of Damascus, Barhadad II. Zakkur may have been a supporter of the Assyrian power who refused to join the anti-Assyrian coalition. Although mainly concerned with the favour shown to him by the god Baalshamayn (divination is also hinted to), Zakkur's inscription appears to have been placed in the temple of the god Ilwer, who therefore is likely to be considered the main god of the town. Consequently, it is to his worship that the massive temple on the top of the Iron Age acropolis was probably dedicated. Although not much is known about Ilwer’s nature, he probably was a weather-god. Perhaps it was represented by a bronze statuette found during the excavations. The function of other buildings on the acropolis is debatable, but the acropolis seems to have been now reserved for ceremonial buildings. In 738 BC the town was conquered by the Assyrians and turned into a provincial centre, thus being intensely exposed to Assyrian cultural influence: findings from the site might point to a spread of the worship of the god Sin. Dog depositions seem to anticipate a phenomenon which reached its peak on the Levantine coast in the Persian age, a period which in Tell Afis is scarcely attested.

description: Barlaam and Ioasaph is the legend of two mythical saints, enjoying remarkable popularity in the literatures of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. It exists in dozens of versions. The legend takes place sometime after apostle Thomas evangelized India. It narrates the story of the Indian prince, Ioasaph, son of the pagan king Abenner, a persecutor of the Christian Church. Ioasaph despite his father’s confinement to a palace for being isolated from contact with Christians, embraces the religion after being taught by monk Barlaam. Abenner troubled by his son’s conversion engages in more severe acts of persecutions and makes several unsuccessful attempts to make Ioasaph recant his faith. As a last resort, he tries to seduce Ioasaph with power and glory by letting him reign over the half of his kingdom. The secular, yet holy life of his son inspires conversion to Abenner who lives his last days as ascetic. After the death of Abenner, Ioasaph reigns during few more years but he then renounces his kingdom. He wanders for years through wilderness and finally finds Barlaam. After their death, their relics revered as holy are moved to the capital of the Indian kingdom where numerous miracles are performed. The story goes back to Indian legends about the life of Buddha, but it is impossible to establish a single source. From India, the legend emerged in the Arab-speaking world between 750 and 900 CE and was later translated before 900 CE into Georgian. This version was used by Euthymios the Athonite († 1028), cofounder of the monastery of Iviron on Mount Athos, for the Byzantine Greek translation assumed to have been completed shortly thereafter 985 CE. By 1019 CE the Greek revised version of the text was also in circulation. The legend was popularised in the West via a Latin translation known as the “Vulgate” and was soon adapted into several vernacular versions. Some of them derive from the Latin “Vulgate”, while others were adapted from the thirteenthcentury CE abbreviated version found in Jacobus de Voragine’s Legenda Aurea. The surviving witnesses of the different versions of the text that have come down to us are numerous. A small minority among them has received cycles of illustrations. Barlaam and Ioasaph includes a set of allegorical stories (or apologues) woven into the narrative framework of the text. These apologues were disseminated independently from it and can be found in many well-known European literary works, such as collections of fables or short stories like the Disciplina clericalis and Bocaccio’s Decameron, plays like Shakespeare’s The merchant of Venice and many others. Depictions inspired by the apologues are another proof of the wide dissemination of these apologues, since they can be found in different religious and secular monuments throughout Europe.

description: Objectives: over 10% of the world population is affected by various kinds of liver diseases. Liver diseases are serious health-threaten problems worldwide, especially in Asian region. Chinese herbal medicines have been used to treat various liver diseases for several centuries in clinical setting. The aim of the study is to clarify whether anti-oxidative effect is associate with Chinese medicines treatment of liver diseases or not.

Methodology: using systematic review and pharmacological technologies, we conducted series studies on anti-oxidative effects of several Chinese medicines in rats with liver damage models.

Results: various pathological factors damaged liver tissues by increase reactive oxygen (ROS), nitrogen species (RNS) and peroxidation of lipids. We tested effects of Chinese medicinal herbs on acute and chronic liver diseases and liver cancer in rats and mice models and found anti-oxidative effect is one of therapeutic effects.

Conclusion: The results from the literatures review to ours original studies revealed anti-oxidative effect of Chinese medicines is a basic treatment for various liver diseases. Targeting specific etiological or pathological factor is one of therapeutic strategies in liver diseases. It is warrant for further study underlying mechanism of the anti-oxidative effect of the Chinese medicines in liver diseases in the future.

description: Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant diseases in Europe1,2. Metal element status could be a good prognostic index in prostate adenocarcinoma3, therefore the aim of our investigation was to demonstrate the effect of vitamin-D3 consumption4 on metal-homeostasis. We examined the metal element status in erythrocytes of healthy and prostate cancer patients with total androgen blockade with and without vitamin D3 supplementation. Forty three volunteers were divided into 5 groups: healthy (N=8); precancerous(N=9); healthy with vitamin D3(N=6); precancerous with vitamin D3(N=8); neoplasma prostata with vitamin D3(N=11). The micro and macro element (20 elements) concentrations of erythrocytes were determined with ICP-OES5. Permission: IKEB 01/2015. Vitamin D3 supplementation had positive effect on the concentrations of Mn, Cu, Fe, Mg, Cr, Ca, Ni in erythrocytes of prostate cancer patients. In some cases, concentration of P, B, Ba, Sr, Zn were slightly altered by vitamin D3 consumption negatively. Vitamin D3 supplementation affected in a positive way the outcome of the disease that does not only appear in the clinical laboratory results or blood redox parameters but the metal element status. However, further comprehensive investigations are required to understand the role of vitamin D3 on element status of prostate cancer patients.

description: The effects of antiviral agent, acyclovir, on thymidine kinase (TK) activity of a model insect, greater wax moth Galleria mellonella L. were investigated by adding this agent into artificial diet. Thymidine kinase activities of seventh instars, pupae and adults were not significatly different from those of control insects at 0.001% concentration of acyclovir. At dietary concentrations of 0.01 and higher, acyclovir resulted in significant increase in TK activity in each developmental satge of G. mellonella. A most significant increase in the enzyme activity was recorded in adults at 3.0% concentration of acyclovir compared to control group. This concentration markedly increased the enzyme activity from 2.09 in control adults to 4.02 nmol/min/mg protein. The results suggest  that insect thymidine kinase can be regarded as an attractive novel target for the development of potent and selective insecticides.

description: Abstract: Obesity is a global health concern associated with high morbidity and mortality. Gum Arabic (GA, Acacia Senegal) considered as a dietary fibre that reduces body fat. In this study, we fed mice either a normal diet (control), low fat diet (low), high fat diet (high) or a high fat diet supplemented with 10% w/w GA (High+gum) for 12 weeks. Body weight, visceral adipose tissue (VAT), plasma lipids and blood glucose and antioxidant capacity were measured. Moreover, histopathological changes and oxidative stress genes mRNA were measured. GA treatment significantly (P<0.05) increased activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx compared to low, HFD and control groups. GA supplementation significantly (P<0.05) decreased ovary MDA, plasma total cholesterol, LDL-c and triglyceride concentrations whereas, increased HDL-c concentrations compared to low, HFD and control groups. SOD and GPx mRNA expression were significantly increased in GA group compared to low, HFD and control groups. Ovaries of HFD mice showed marked degeneration whereas, slight degeneration was observed in GA treated mice compared to low, HFD and control groups. Our findings suggest that GA may protect ovaries by improvement of antioxidant capacity, and thus may be useful to meliorate the infertility complications in obese patient.

description: ABSTRACT

The essential oils of Eucalyptus species are among the 18 most commonly traded essential oils in the world. It is regarded as safe and non-toxic by the United States Food and Drug Authority, and the Council of Europe has approved the use of eucalyptus oils as flavoring agent in foods. The present study was undertaken to determine : the chemical composition of essential oils extracts from Eucalyptus globulus (E. globulus) fruits, using Gas-Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) method and to examine their antioxidant activity (DPPH’, reducing power and lipid peroxidation inhibition assays) compared to that of Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) standard. Twenty eight volatile compounds were identified, with the predominance of sesquiterpenes and oxygenated sesquiterpenes compounds (61.20%). Results of the antioxidant activity (DPPH scavenging activity, reducing power and inhibition of lipid peroxidation activity) of essential oils extracts revealed a moderate activity with IC50 values of 27.04 ± 0.17 mg/mL, 32.86 ± 1.84 mg/mL and 4.933 ± 0.2mg/mL, respectively; as compared to those of Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) standard that were about 0.048±0.015µg/mL, 0.033±0.002 µg/mL and 0.45± 0.19 mg/mL, respectively.

 Keywords: Eucalyptus globulus, fruits, essential oils, GC-MS analysis, antioxidant activity.

description: The increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) caused by hyperglycemia (HG) is thought to be a key event in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. In diabetes, increased vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression is reported to increase ROS. Using a human RPE cell-line (ARPE-19), we investigated whether HG could promote the expression of VEGF independently of Angiotensin II through the prorenin receptor (PRR), via a NADPH oxidase (Nox)-dependent mechanism. HG significantly induced the expression of PRR, Nox2, Nox4, and VEGF. Also, PRR, Nox2/4, and Rac1 siRNAs, but not the control siRNA, significantly reduced the HG-induction of VEGF. Nox4 overexpression significantly potentiated PRR-induced stimulation of VEGF.  Inhibitors of Nox significantly abolished HG-induction of VEGF. Both catalase and superoxide dismutase significantly attenuated VEGF induction by HG, indicative of the involvement of Nox-derived O2– and H2O2 signaling in regulation of VEGF regulation. In summary, Nox4-derived ROS signaling is implicated in the HG-induced increase of VEGF expression through PRR. Nox and redox signaling components can be considered as potential therapeutic targets for treatment of angiogenesis-dependent retinal diseases, including diabetic retinopathy.
