[This corrects the article DOI 10.1016/j.heliyon.2021.e05979.].Rose oxide (RO) is a monoterpene found in rose oil fragrances. This monoterpene has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory activity, however, little is known regarding its pharmacological activity. The present study was carried out to evaluate its antidepressant action and possible mechanisms of action. Analysis of ADMET pharmacokinetic properties (absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion and toxicity) of rose oxide was performed by computational prediction analysis. Behavioral tests were performed to assess the interaction between rose oxide and the central nervous system and antidepressant effect that includes forced swim test (FST), tail suspension test (TST), open field test (OFT) and rota-rod test. The results of pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties indicate that rose oxide could be used orally, since it has good intestinal absorption as well as pharmacological and toxicological properties that can be similar to pharmacological compounds (regular hepatic metabolism and low toxicity). Treatment with 50 mg/kg of rose oxide was able to decrease the immobility time of animals not affected by FST and TST and was not able to alter the motor activity of the OFT and rota-rod test, suggesting modulation and antidepressant activity. Docking data suggest that rose oxide can bind to receptors in the serotonergic pathway. The results described here suggest that rose oxide has antidepressant activity, modulating the serotonergic pathway.Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) from plant origin were postulated to regulate complex hormonal control through the hypothalamus- pituitary-testicular axis and somatic cells due to their unique small size and effective drug delivery to target tissues. This study therefore investigates the biogenic synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from Moringa oleifera leaves on key endocrine hormones (LH, FSH and testosterone), MDA level, antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT), acetylcholineesterase (AChE) activity and reactive nitrogen species (NO•) level in rotenone induced male rat. The animals were divided into six groups (n = 8). Group I was orally given olive oil as vehicle; Group II received 60 mg/kg of rotenone (RTNE) only; Group III (RTNE + ZnONPs) received 60 mg/kg RTNE + 10 mg/kg ZnONPs; Group IV (RTNE + ZnCAP) received 60 mg/kg RTNE + 50 mg/kg zinc capsule; Group V (ZnONPs only) received 10 mg/kg ZnONPs only. Group VI received 50 mg/kg ZnCAP only. The experiment lasted 10 days. TEM and XRD images revealed ZnO NPs. Moreover, the presence of organic molecules in bio-reduction reactions from the FTIR spectrum showed the stabilization of the nanoparticles. Also, animals induced with rotenone exhibited impairment in the leydig cells by depleting LH, FSH, and testosterone levels with reduced AChE activity and significant (p less then 0.05) alteration in cerebral enzymatic antioxidants. There was also brain increase in NO• production marker of pro-inflammation. Nanotherapeutically, ZnONPs regulated hypothalamus-pituitary-testicular axis via modulation of cerebral NO•, FSH, LH, testosterone and AChE activity with induction of anti-oxidative enzymes.

Approximately 70% of cervical carcinoma cases show the presence of high-risk Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), especially HPV-16 and HPV-18, and can be used to stratify high risk patients from low risk and healthy. Currently, molecular biology techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are used to identify the presence of virus in patient samples. While the methodology is highly sensitive, it is labor intensive and time-consuming. Alternative techniques, such as vibrational spectroscopy, has been suggested as a possible rapid alternative. Therefore, in this study, we evaluate the efficiency of cervical fluid Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in patient risk stratification informed by PCR.

Cervical fluid samples (n=91) were obtained from patients who have undergone routine Papanicolaou (Pap) test. Viral genome was identified and classified as high/low-risk by PCR-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). FTIR spectra were acquired from samples identified by PCR-RFLP as No-HPV (n=identified as healthy, low, and high-risk samples by PCR-RFLP.

We show the possibility of using FTIR for initial cervical cancer risk stratification followed by detailed PCR-RFLP investigations for suspect cases.

The mitogenome was found to have circular shape, with 16,175 bp in size, containing 13 protein coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer-RNA genes, 2 ribosomal-RNA genes, and 1 non-coding region. The nucleotide composition biases toward A and T is 77.9% of the entirety, which is a typical structure of Cicadellidae. All PCGs have ATN as the start codon, TAA and single T as the stop codon. The resulting phylogenetic tree confirms that the F. septentrionalis belongs to the subfamily of Deltocephalinae and Fieberiellini as sister to the remaining tribes of this subfamily.The long-legged fly Asyndetus clavipes belongs to the subfamily Diaphorinae of Dolichopodidae. The mitogenome of A. clavipes was sequenced, the first representative complete mitogenome from this subfamily. This mitogenome is 15,385 bp in size, includes 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, and two ribosomal RNAs. All genes have the same location and coding strand as in other published species of Dolichopodidae. Nucleotide composition is biased toward A and T, which together made up 78.6% of the entire genome. Bayesian inference strongly supported the monophyly of Empidoidea, Empididae and Dolichopodidae, with the phylogenetic relationships within Empidoidea ((Dolichopodinae + Neurigoninae) + Diaphorinae) + ((Trichopezinae + (Empidinae + Oreogetoninae)) + Ocydromiinae).
