Summary: The field of nanocatalytic therapy, which employs catalytic reactions mediated by nanomaterials to intervene in disease-critical biomolecular processes, has gained increasing interest in the last 20 years. Ceria nanoparticles have shown unique scavenging properties against biologically noxious free radicals, making them potential candidates for self-regenerating antioxidative and anti-inflammatory agents in disease therapy. This review provides an overview of the characteristics of ceria nanoparticles, their scavenging mechanisms, and recent therapeutic applications, as well as the challenges and future research directions.

Summary: The objective of this observational study was to compare the metabolic status of dairy cows during the last 6 wk of gestation based on colostrum volume and immunoglobulin content. The results showed that colostrum volume was lowest in winter, but no differences were observed among parity groups. Compared with low colostrum producer, high colostrum producer cows had higher concentrations of antioxidant potential and beta-hydroxybutyrate, and lower cholesterol and oxidant status index.

Summary: The foliar application of silicon, either as bulk or nano forms, was found to enhance Solanum lycopersicum L. tolerance to glyphosate by reducing oxidative stress and upregulating antioxidant enzymes. Both sources of silicon showed potential in alleviating glyphosate-induced toxicity, with no significant differences in efficacy observed.

Summary: Nickel tolerance and accumulation potential of two quinoa genotypes (Puno and Vikinga) were investigated in this study. Results showed that Puno exhibited greater tolerance to Ni compared to Vikinga, which was attributed to improved physiological responses and amelioration of oxidative stress. The study provides insights into understanding plant nickel tolerance and its potential application in Ni-contaminated soil remediation.

Summary: The pathophysiology of male infertility involves various endogenous pathways, with oxidative stress and inflammation being two core mechanisms. Antioxidant therapy plays an important role in treating male infertility, but its limitations lie in the lack of accurate detection of oxidative stress and the failure to simultaneously target inflammation.

Summary: Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor that regulates cellular antioxidant defense. It can be activated by oxidative stress and various factors and modifications. Keap1/Nrf2/ARE signaling is a target for treating diseases. Nanomaterials have unique properties and can be used in various biological applications. This review discusses the combined therapy of nanoparticles and Nrf2 and their significance in diseases.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of dietary combination of quercetin (Q) and vitamin E (VE) on the intestinal structure and barrier integrity in aged breeder chickens. The results showed that Q+VE had synergistic effects on intestinal morphology, reduced intestinal inflammatory damage, and increased the expression of tight junction proteins and anti-inflammatory genes. Q+VE also protected the small intestine from oxidative damage. These findings suggest that Q+VE can improve intestinal function in aged breeder hens.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a cyanidin-and delphinidin-rich extract on the postprandial dysmetabolism, inflammation, and insulin signaling triggered by a high fat meal. The results showed that the extract reduced the negative effects associated with postprandial dysmetabolism and regulated glycemia and lipidemia.

Summary: Oxidative stress, caused by an imbalance in oxidant/antioxidant processes, plays a critical role in pulmonary diseases. The relationship between oxidative stress and pulmonary diseases needs to be comprehensively studied to identify effective therapeutics. This review analyzed publications related to oxidative stress and pulmonary diseases over four periods, revealing the association between oxidative stress and lung injury, lung cancer, asthma, COPD, and pneumonia. Antioxidants, targeting reactive oxygen species (ROS), may be an important choice in combined therapies for refractory pulmonary diseases.

Summary: This study introduces a novel method for detecting DNA methylation through conformational transition to G-quadruplex, using a solution-gated field-effect transistor (SG-FET) without the need for labeled materials. The method involves grafting a dense hydrophilic polymer brush onto the SG-FET sensor surface to reduce electrical noise and achieve high signal-to-noise ratio analysis of DNA sequences.

Summary: In this study, the roles of neutrophils and nerve growth factor (NGF) in refractory asthma were examined. The results showed that neutrophil myeloperoxidase (MPO)-derived singlet oxygen induces increased NGF production, leading to airway hyperreactivity (AHR) and the production of specific markers. These findings contribute to the development of new therapies and biomarkers for non-type 2 and refractory asthma.

Summary: Experimental studies have shown that alkali metal ions like Na are substituted at different sites in the OCP crystal lattice depending on the acidity of the conditions. Ionic species calculation methods suggest that the formation of NaHPO4- pairs plays a key role in the substitution process under weakly basic conditions. This ionic pair formation inhibits dicarboxylic acid substitution into the OCP unit lattice.
