Read More Background: Hypericum perforatum is a flowering plant from the Hypericaceae family. This herb has warm and dry nature based on traditional medicine and includes many healing properties like noticeable effects on mild and moderate depression cases. Cyclophosphamide is used to treat various types of cancers and autoimmune diseases with the side effect of fertility reduction. We studied the effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Hypericum perforatum on the spermatogenesis process of cyclophosphamide-treated male mice. Methods: In this experimental study, 70 adult BALB/c male mice weighing 26-28 g were randomly divided into 7 groups of 10, including, a control group (no injection), a sham group (normal saline), and three experimental groups which were treated with 5 mg/kg body weight of cyclophosphamide and also, doses of 50, 100, and 150 mg/kg body weight of hydroalcoholic extract, respectively. In addition, a cyclophosphamide group (5 mg/kg body weight) and an extract group (100 mg/kg body weight) were evaluated. All the injections were performed intraperitoneally for 10 consecutive days. After two weeks, blood samples were collected for a testosterone level examination. Testes and epididymis were removed for tissue sectioning and were stained with the H&E method. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc test. Results: Results indicated that taking 5 mg/kg body weight of cyclophosphamide decreased mouse and testis weight and had a detrimental effect on the spermatogenesis process in the way that spermatogenic cell counts, and seminiferous and epididymis tubules diameter were decreased in comparison with the control and sham groups. But 100 and 150 mg/kg body weight doses of the extract with 5 mg/kg body weight of cyclophosphamide showed a significant increase (P≤0.05 and p≤0.01) on the mentioned parameters compared to the positive control group. Conclusion: Therefore, it seems that the main component in this herb such as hypericin could decrease the detrimental effects of cyclophosphamide on mouse fertility.

Read More Introduction: Lead is one of the environmental pollutants and it is among the most important causes of oxidative stress in biological tissues. In this study, the effects of lead acetate on testicular tissue destruction were investigated. Ferulic acid (FA), which is an antioxidant and reduces free radicals, is expected to be effective in improving testicular function in lead-infected rats.Materials and methods: For this study, 24 white male Wistar rats, categorized in four groups: control, lead acetate toxicity, FA control, and lead-Ferulic Acetate, were treated in the laboratory for 56 days. At the end of the treatment period, the rats were anesthetized and after blood sampling, they were analysed. Then, histological analysis was performed after testicular resection. To evaluate sperm characteristics, the distal part of the testicular epididymis was finally cut and fragmented.Research Findings: In examination of testicular tissue sections in the samples, it was observed that the mean diameter of seminiferous tubules in samples with lead acetate poisoning was decreased more than the control, whereas in the group with FA treatment, the diameter was increased. Increased bleeding in the space between seminiferous tubules and tissue vacuolation were also recorded in the lead acetate group, but it was improved in the treatment group. The number, motility, percentage of normal sperm, and survival percentage of sperm which had a significant decrease in the lead acetate group, and were increased in the FA-treated group. Likewise, testosterone levels, which had a significant drop in the lead acetate poisoning group, were increased in FA-treated group.Discussion: The result showed that lead acetate, with its destructive effects on testicular tissue, reduces the number of healthy and mature sperms, and ultimately leads to mice fertility of these mice, but ferulic acid which acts as an antioxidant has recovery effects against lead acetate.

Read More Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic caused by a novel coronavirus. On 30 January 2020, the first case of the COVID-19 was reported in India and it affects the whole world. The impact of various nutrients on the human immune system. To defend itself, the human body has numerous components. The human immune system identifies molecules that are foreign to its structure and responds to them in a useful manner. When a pathogen factor enters the human body, the immune system responds by triggering an immunological response. Methods: Symptoms of COVID-19 may vary from a mild cold to severe respiratory problems and fatality. The symptom may appear in 2 days or as long as 14 days after making contact with the COVID-19 patient. Results: To avoiding contact with an infected person, regular hand washing, wearing a mask may help to prevent and control the COVID-19. There is no specific therapy available for COVID-19. The best way is to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to the COVID-19. Nutrition is one of the numerous variables that influence immune system function. There is a link between the immune system and nutrition, and malnutrition should not be seen just as a calorie and protein shortage. Conclusions: The body's defensive system should be reinforced to boost immunity, minimize illness risks, and maintain good health. Healthy eating, regular exercise, and an immunological diet, on the other hand, will be a more cost-effective and natural choice.Due to these reasons, the main aim of nourishment is not merely to gain energy andprotein, but to enhance resistance against ailments with some specific nutriment and to turn the inflammatory responsein someone’s best interests. The nutriments which show beneficial effects on the immune system are called immune nutrients and nourishment on these nutriments is called immune diet. The main fields of application of immune diet are patients undergoing surgery, traumatized, cancer, patients who need intensive care, and patients with serious infections.

Read More Background: Essential oils are volatile compounds characterized by a strong odor, and are generally biosynthesized by aromatic plants as secondary metabolites. This paper aims to extract the essential oils of Lippia javanica and Lantana camara, and to evaluate their antibacterial, and antifungal activities.Methods: The aerial parts of Lippia javanica and Lantana camara were subjected to hydrodistillation to produce the essential oil. The antimicrobial potential was characterized against six microorganisms, signifying three Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), two Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae) and one fungus(Candida albicans) by the disc diffusion method to determine the inhibition zone (in mm) and dilution method to determine the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC).Results: Essential oil extraction was carried out with an average yield of 0.21% for Lippia javanica, and 0.11% for Lantana camara. The evaluation of the antimicrobial activity showed that Lippia javanica essential oil had a moderate inhibitory activity on Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Streptococcus pneumoniae (MIC: 0.76 mg/mL), on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1.50 mg/mL). The Lantana camara essential oil showed weak inhibitory activity against all strains tested. By diffusion disk method, it was found that Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most sensitive on Lippia javanica essential oil with an inhibition diameter, which evolved from 7 mm to 24 mm; followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (21 mm), Escherichia coli (19 mm) and Streptococcus pneumoniae (13 mm) at 15 μL. By means of dilution method, the Lantana camara essential oil showed a low activity against Escherichia coli (MIC: 1.64 mg/mL), Klebsiella pneumonia (MIC: 1.64 mg/mL), Staphylococcus aureus (MIC: 3.28 mg/mL), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC: 3.28 mg/mL), and Candida albicans (MIC: 3.28 mg/mL) but by disc diffusion method, this oil was slightly inhibitory activity on Escherichia coli (10 mm at 15 μL). For the antifungal activity, the Lantana camara essential oil, and Germicide were inactive on Candida albicans when tested by the disk method.Conclusion: The essential oil of Lippia javanica showed moderate antibacterial and antifungal activities, while the essential oil of Lantana camara showed low activity. The activities of essential oils studied were less than that of the gentamicin and more than the activity of Germicide, with two positive controls used.
