Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of CdCl2 toxicity on NF-B P65 and the anti-inflammatory effect of purslane plant extract. The results showed that CdCl2 induced damage to ovarian and brain tissues, while purslane plant protected rats and decreased the presence of NF-B P65.

Summary: Cadmium (Cd), a heavy metal, accumulates in the liver and forms a complex with metallothionein protein, ultimately affecting vital organs. This study examines the effect of different concentrations of cadmium acetate (CA) doses in drinking water for different exposure times in murine models. Histopathological and biochemical examinations were conducted, revealing extensive degenerative effects and higher cadmium levels in serum, kidney, and liver tissues. The study concludes that even low doses of CA exposure are hazardous to murine models with damaging effects.

Summary: S-metolachlor has potential toxic effects on common carp, as indicated by biomarker changes in the gills and liver. Exposure to higher concentrations of S-metolachlor resulted in mild alterations in these organs.

Summary: The study found that exposure to waterborne B [a] P resulted in a dose-dependent decline in health condition in sole juveniles. This was mainly reflected in changes in antioxidant enzymes activity, lysosomal biomarkers, and gill and liver histopathology, serving as early-warning signs of health disturbance in sole juveniles exposed to waterborne PAHs.

Summary: The study suggests that Vitamin B12 may help reduce kidney damage caused by Methotrexate by decreasing apoptotic cells, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation. In rat experiments, it was found that taking Methotrexate with Vitamin B12 supplementation can improve kidney tissue.

Summary: Fish at different trophic levels are affected differently by the presence of microplastic (MP) and their ingestion. In this study, walking catfish (Clarias batrachus) were exposed to two types of MP for 60 days. The results showed changes in hematological indices as well as morphological alterations in the liver, kidney, intestine, and gills. Additionally, the growth of C. batrachus was significantly retarded. This suggests that widespread MP pollution in water bodies in Bangladesh may pose serious ecological risks to bottom-feeding fish.

Summary: The harm of microplastics to aquatic ecosystems is mainly due to their stable and non-degradable properties, which make them prone to adsorbing pollutants and causing environmental pollution. This study examined the acute toxicities of polystyrene and cadmium on grass carp, and found that the presence of microplastics increased the concentration of cadmium in the fish and accelerated their death.

Summary: This study investigated the toxico-pathologic effects of Pyriproxyfen (PPF) in fish. The results showed various clinical ailments and significant differences in the weight of specific visceral organs in the treated fish. Blood markers and pathological changes in visceral organs confirmed the potential risks of PPF in freshwater fish.

Summary: This study evaluated the levels of lead ([Pb]) in the livers of dogs with chronic hepatitis (CH), and found a correlation between [Pb] and copper ([Cu]), as well as blood cell changes. Further research is needed to better understand the clinical role of hepatic lead in dogs with abnormal hepatic copper levels.

Summary: The study shows that melatonin has a radioprotective effect against early brain damage caused by different dose rate beams, improving histopathological and biochemical parameters. However, there is no significant difference between low and high dose rate beams in terms of their effects on the brain. Further studies are needed to clarify the radiobiological uncertainties of different dose rates on various tissues.

Summary: The study introduced an ultrasensitive nanobiosensor based on graphene oxide and urease for detecting cadmium in river water, which demonstrated high sensitivity and low detection limit. The nanobiosensor showed satisfactory response to different physical and chemical characteristics and had minimal interference from other species in the water samples.

Summary: The study investigated the potential ecological risks of microplastics (MPs) and cadmium (Cd) exposure in Aphanius fasciatus. While Cd exposure led to increased metallothioneins levels and oxidative stress response in liver and gills, MPs had a major impact on gills and induced spinal deformities. However, the simultaneous exposure to both pollutants showed similar effects as individual exposure, possibly due to reduced bioavailability of Cd.

Summary: The current study evaluated the effects of insecticide emamectin, herbicide acetochlor, and fungicide topsin-M on the haematology, biochemical profile, and histopathology of grass carp. The results showed significant alterations in haematological and biochemical parameters, as well as histopathological changes in the gills, liver, intestine, and heart of the grass carp.
