A comparative study is being done to examine the impact of CML on Okra and Brinjal. We have looked at how CML affects the soil microenvironment, plant growth, and productive behaviour. The Times of India reported on a study that served as the study's basis. The NCR Gurgaon farmers produced the CML in order to cultivate the brinjal harvest. According to reports, the application of CML raised brinjal production six or eight times. The resulting brinjal was said to be of excellent quality and beauty. Previously, brinjal (Solanum melongena Var BR112) was studied for productivity and growth behaviour. Our study's foundation is the questionnaire that farmers in the National Capital Region who produced crops utilising CML. They combined CML. with gibberellic acid. The crop's yield has increased because of this combination. We employed CML. as a solvent. They claimed that the treatment improved the flavour of the okra (Abelomoschus esculentus L.) and brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) in some way. Prior to this, an experiment was carried out with okra to investigate the impact of CML on its growth and production. Brinjal (Solanum melongena VAR BR112), was studied for its productivity and growth behaviour under field conditions. Analysis of the soil microflora under various treatments is another aspect of the study. A comparative examination of the microclimate of the soil and the crops will be compiled in this paper. The study reveals that Brinjal showed a stronger response to CML in terms of growth and productive behaviour than Okra did.
正在进行一项比较研究,以检查CML对秋葵和茄子的影响。我们已经研究了CML如何影响土壤微环境、植物生长和生产行为。《印度时报》(Times of India)报道了作为该研究基础的一项研究。NCR古尔冈农民生产CML是为了种植茄子。据报道,CML的应用使茄子产量提高了六到八倍。据说,得到的茄子品质优良,美观大方。以前,对茄子(Solanum melongena Var BR112)的生产力和生长行为进行了研究。本研究的基础是对国家首都地区使用CML生产作物的农民进行问卷调查。他们结合了CML。用赤霉素。由于这种组合,作物的产量增加了。我们采用了CML。作为溶剂。他们声称,这种处理在某种程度上改善了秋葵(Abelomoschus esculentus L.)和茄子(Solanum melongena L.)的味道。在此之前,以秋葵为实验对象,研究了CML对秋葵生长和生产的影响。对茄子(Solanum melongena VAR BR112)在田间条件下的生产能力和生长行为进行了研究。不同处理下土壤微生物区系的分析是研究的另一个方面。本文将对土壤和作物的小气候进行比较研究。研究表明,在生长和生产行为方面,茄子比秋葵对CML的反应更强。

Introduction and Aim: Cervical cancer is a global health burden. Of all the cancer incidences reported in Indonesia, cervical cancer occupies the second position as the highest contributor to the incidence throughout the year, and the third position is the leading cause of death. Tissue culture and staining methods were used to diagnose the cervical cancer. This study aimed to compare Candida detection and the possibility of vulvovaginal candidiasis risk factors in cervical cancer tissue blocks stained with periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and Gomori methenamine silver (GMS). Methods: This was an analytical observational study using a cross-sectional approach. This study compared PAS and GMS staining to detect Candida fungi in paraffin block tissue from individuals diagnosed with cervical cancer at the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory of Kediri Regency Regional General Hospital in 2021–2022. The sampling used Total sampling was carried out from March to December 2022. Data analyses were descriptively performed. Results: The incidence of cervical cancer was dominated by patients aged 51–60 years who belonged the decade 6. In this study, 32 blocks of cervical cancer tissues were deparaffinized and analyzed. A histopathological diagnosis of the examined cervical biopsy samples was obtained. A total of 81.25% had cervical squamous cell carcinoma, in 18.75% of the patients and cervical adenocarcinoma. The findings of this study show that staining with GMS can detect more Candida fungi than PAS staining. Microscopic examination showed that GMS staining had a more obvious contrast, marked by black structures in the green area. Thirteen samples (40.7%) of the 32 examined for vulvovaginitis. However, this study did not show that Candida invasion of the cervix is a risk factor for cervical cancer. Conclusion: PAS and GMS staining can be used to detect Candida fungi in cervical cancer tissue. GMS staining has higher accuracy in detecting Candida in cervical squamous cell carcinoma and cervical adenocarcinoma. The risk factors for fungal infections and the occurrence of cervical cancer require further investigation.
简介和目的:子宫颈癌是一个全球性的健康负担。在印度尼西亚报告的所有癌症发病率中,子宫颈癌作为全年发病率最高的因素占据第二位,第三位是导致死亡的主要原因。采用组织培养和染色法诊断宫颈癌。本研究旨在比较周期酸希夫(PAS)和Gomori甲基胺银(GMS)染色子宫颈癌组织块中念珠菌的检测和外阴阴道念珠菌病危险因素的可能性。方法:这是一项采用横断面方法的分析性观察研究。本研究比较了2021-2022年Kediri Regency Regional General Hospital解剖病理学实验室诊断的宫颈癌患者石蜡块组织中PAS和GMS染色检测念珠菌的方法。总抽样时间为2022年3月至12月。对数据进行描述性分析。结果:宫颈癌发病以51 ~ 60岁年龄组为主,属于10岁年龄组。本研究对32块宫颈癌组织进行了脱胶分析。对检查的宫颈活检样本进行组织病理学诊断。宫颈鳞状细胞癌发生率为81.25%,宫颈腺癌发生率为18.75%。本研究结果表明,GMS染色比PAS染色能检出更多的念珠菌。镜检显示GMS染色对比更明显,绿色区域可见黑色结构。32例中有13例(40.7%)为外阴阴道炎。然而,这项研究并没有显示念珠菌侵入子宫颈是宫颈癌的危险因素。结论:PAS和GMS染色可用于宫颈癌组织中念珠菌的检测。GMS染色在宫颈鳞癌和宫颈腺癌中检测念珠菌具有较高的准确性。真菌感染和子宫颈癌发生的危险因素需要进一步调查。

Heavy metals contamination is a major concern because of its serious threat to human health. The primary aim of this study was to examine potential health risks for national (adults and children) and international (Arab population) inhabitants that were exposed to heavy metals (Cd and Pb) through ingestion of wheat flour. A total of 300 wheat flours samples (<0.25 mm) of five commercial brands have been collected from 2016 to 2018 from Khuzestan province, Iran. The possible health risk was estimated based on the Hazard Quotient (HQ), hazard index (HI or non-carcinogenic risk), and carcinogenic Risk (CR) indices. The average concentrations of the Pb and Cd were significantly (P < 0.05) lower than the safety limit in all seasons for three years. However, 2.3% of Pb in the total samples exceeded the European Commission and FAO/WHO standards. All estimated values for non-carcinogenic risk were in the safe range (HQ < 1) among all consumers. The mean value of total CR for Pb was 1.23×10−6, 1.75×10-6, and 8.03 × 10-7 for adult, children, and Arab populations, respectively. For Cd exposure, the total CR value was 2.2×10−4, 3.13×10−4 and 1.44 ×10−4 for adult, children, and Arab populations, respectively. Cancer risk values determined for Cd were generally in the unsafe range during three years, indicating that there was CR for all consumers by ingestion intake of Cd contained in wheat flour in this study area. The results obtained indicated that the government requires implementing more remediation or intervention to control and mitigate the contamination burden of Cd in agricultural crops to reduce its associated carcinogenic risks.

The intake of heavy metals from food in high doses will have adverse effects on human health. In Iran, traditional foods constitute a major portion of peoples’ daily diet. Hence, the present study has attempted to evaluate the levels of heavy metals and their carcinogenicity and non-carcinogenicity in traditional foods served in the restaurants of Isfahan, Iran. In this cross-sectional study, 20 different types of food were selected from 19 restaurants. Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) was used to measure the levels of heavy metals such as chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and iron (Fe) in the prepared samples. Moreover, the risk non-carcinogenicity of heavy metals in traditional foods was determined for children and adults by applying the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) method. Among the heavy metals studied, only Ni and Cu had lower levels than permissible limits. Also, the Pb levels in the examined foods range from 0.05 to 0.79 m m-1; which are higher than the safe limits proposed by FAO/WHO. On the other hand, the mean concentration of Fe was higher than the maximum permissible limit (48 m m-1) in 4 food samples only. The target hazard quotient (THQ) values range from 0.005–53.65 and 0.01–156.50, for adults and children, respectively. Hence THQ for adults and children was found to be above 1 in 64% and 75% of food samples, respectively. This study recommends that food consumers in Iran should be careful about the overconsumption of traditional foods.
高剂量摄入食物中的重金属会对人体健康产生不利影响。在伊朗,传统食品是人们日常饮食的主要组成部分。因此,本研究试图评估伊朗伊斯法罕餐馆供应的传统食品中重金属的水平及其致癌性和非致癌性。在这项横断面研究中,从19家餐馆中选择了20种不同类型的食物。电感耦合等离子体光学发射光谱法(ICP-OES)用于测量制备样品中铬(Cr)、镍(Ni)、铅(Pb)、铜(Cu)和铁(Fe)等重金属的含量。此外,采用美国环境保护局(USEPA)的方法测定了传统食品中重金属对儿童和成人的非致癌性风险。在所研究的重金属中,只有镍和铜的含量低于允许的限度。此外,受检食品中的铅含量在0.05至0.79mm-1之间;高于粮农组织/世界卫生组织提出的安全限值。另一方面,仅在4个食品样本中,Fe的平均浓度高于最大允许限值(48 m m-1)。成人和儿童的目标危险系数(THQ)分别为0.005–53.65和0.01–156.50。因此,成人和儿童的THQ分别在64%和75%的食物样本中高于1。这项研究建议,伊朗的食品消费者应该小心传统食品的过度消费。

Today, urban management seems necessary to remediate soils contaminated with heavy metals, especially in industrial regions. Thus, this research was done to evaluate the effect of zeolite and seed pre-treatment with salicylic acid on reducing the Cd sorption by ornamental sunflower under drought stress. Treatments (48 treatments) consisted of applying zeolite (0 and 5 % (W/W)) in the Cd (0 and 15 mg Cd (kg soil)-1) polluted soil under cultivation of ornamental sunflower that was inoculated with P.indica in normal and intensive drought stress condition. The plants seeds were pretreated with salicylic acid (0, 0.5 and 1 mM). After 90 days, plants were harvested and atomic absorption spectroscopy (Perkin-Elmer 3030) was used for determining the Pb and Zn concentration. Application of zeolite in the soil significantly decreased and increased the plant Cd and Zn concentration by 11.3 and 14.2%, respectively. Seed priming with salicylic acid at the rate of 1 mM significantly increased the plant Zn and Cd concentration by 12.7 and 14.2%, respectively. In addition, plant inoculation with P.indica significantly decreased the catalase (CAT) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) enzyme activity which indicate the plant resistance to abiotic stress. However, drought stress had adverse effect on the Cd sorption by plants. Moreover, the CAT and APX enzymes activities were increased. The results of this study showed that applying zeolite and seed priming with salicylic acid had additive effects on decreasing the Cd sorption by ornamental sunflower that was inoculated with P.indica fungus under drought stress.
今天,城市管理似乎有必要修复被重金属污染的土壤,特别是在工业区。因此,本研究考察了沸石和水杨酸预处理对干旱胁迫下观赏向日葵Cd吸附的影响。48个处理分别在接种籼稻的观赏向日葵种植条件下,在Cd(0和15 mg Cd (kg土壤)-1)污染土壤上施用0和5%沸石(W/W)。分别用水杨酸(0、0.5和1 mM)对植物种子进行预处理。90 d后收获植株,采用原子吸收光谱(Perkin-Elmer 3030)测定Pb和Zn浓度。土壤中施用沸石显著降低和提高了植物Cd和Zn浓度,分别降低了11.3和14.2%。速率为1 mM的水杨酸灌种使植株Zn和Cd浓度分别提高12.7%和14.2%。此外,接种籼稻可显著降低植物过氧化氢酶(CAT)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性,表明植物对非生物胁迫具有抗性。然而,干旱胁迫对植物对Cd的吸收有不利影响。此外,CAT和APX酶活性也有所提高。结果表明,施用沸石和水杨酸灌种对干旱胁迫下接种籼稻真菌的观赏向日葵对Cd的吸附有明显的加性影响。

There are always concerns about the environmental and human consequences of the widespread use of pesticides. This study aimed to determine the role of pesticides in the development of autism spectrum disorders in children through meta-analysis. All studies (11 articles) that had the potential to be used in our study were exported in EndNote X8 software and reviewed by authors. We extracted the required data, and we used Stata software (version 12) to analyze the pooled effect. Random and fixed-effect models were used to determine the combined estimation using the “metan” command.The results showed exposure to organochlorine pesticides could increase the risk of autism by 32% (OR=1.32; 95% CI: 1.14-1.53). The first trimester of pregnancy had the highest risk for autism (OR=1.23; 95% CI: 1.15-1.31). The cumulative meta-analysis showed a decreasing trend for crude and adjusted odds ratio over time.This study showed that exposure to pesticides can increase the risk of autism, and the time of exposure to pesticides is associated with the risk of autism. These results came as the cumulative meta-analysis results for crude and adjusted odds ratios showed a decreasing trend over time.

In this study, concentrations of some blood biochemical factors in male powerlifting athletes were compared through 6 weeks of weight training with combined beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) and creatinine (Cr) supplements and 2 weeks of non-training. Thirty-two male athletes aged 21-30 years were randomly divided into four groups of eight individuals: Cr, HMB, HMB + Cr, and weight training. The training program was designed for 6 weeks and four sessions per week. The HMB group consumed 3 g of the supplement on training days and 1g on non-training days, the Cr group consumed three servings of 5 g on training days and 5 g on non-training days, and the HMB +Cr group consumed the same amount of HMB and Cr supplements as the HMB and Cr groups. During 2 weeks of non-training, the HMB, Cr, and HMB + Cr groups received daily 1 g, 5 g, and 1 g of HMB + 5 g of Cr, respectively. The hypotheses were tested by two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results: There were no significant differences in Cholesterol (Chol.), Triglyceride (TG), and Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) levels after the post-test and 2 weeks of non-training. There were significant differences in High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) in post-test between groups of weight training and HMB (p = 0.000), weight training and HMB + Cr (p = 0.002), Cr and HMB (p = 0.000), and Cr and HMB + Cr (P = 0.001). The weight training and HMB (p = 0.000), weight training and HMB + Cr (p = 0.003), Cr and HMB (p 0.000) =), and Cr and HMB + Cr groups (p = 0.001) were significantly different in 2 weeks of non-training. Conclusion: Six-week weight training with combined HMB and Cr supplement and 2 weeks of non-training can significantly change the concentrations of some blood biochemical factors in male powerlifting athletes.

Dairy products are rich sources of vitamins, proteins and calcium that are vital to the human body. Aflatoxin M1 is a hydroxylated metabolite of aflatoxin B1. The presence of this toxin in milk has caused serious concern among nutritionists. Consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated milk (AFM1) may lead to serious health problems in humans. AFM1 causes various cancers such as liver cancer, damage to the nervous and DNA, as well as mutagenicity and teratogenicity. In reducing the amount of aflatoxin in the product, with does not affect the milk quality is of particular importance. Absorption and restructuring methods such as yeast, lactic acid (bacteria), enzymes, ozon, and cold plasma have been used for this purpose. In this study, they have been studied on aflatoxin M1 and toxicology besides reducing method for aflatoxin M1.

Studies have shown that burn wounds are one of the most severe forms of trauma which may cause disability, morbidity and mortality, stupendous hospital costs, and emotional disturbance. In spite of the therapeutic effects of synthetic drugs, due to their unwanted side effects, the tendency of people to use these drugs has been decreasing, contrary to the use of natural origin drugs. Medicinal plants that can be formulated to treat and repair the wound should be identified. Therefore, in this article a number of native Iranian medicinal plants that have been studied and their healing effects on burn wounds have been reported are discussed. In this review article, the keywords medicinal plants, burn, burn wound repair, burn wound and Iran were used to search for relevant articles indexed in databases such as IranMedex, Scientific Information Database, Google Scholar, Scopus, Institute for Scientific Information, Web of Science and PubMed. Based on the results, the medicinal plants Aloe vera (L.) Burm.f., Matricaria chamomilla L, Quercus brantii Lindl., Cydonia oblonga Mill., Scrophularia striata, Camellia sinensis (L.)
