, TNF-α levels, representing the parameters indicating neutrophil infiltration and inflammation of the renal tissues, significantly increased in IRI group with respect to the other groups (p <0.005).

When all the data obtained in our study were evaluated, ASX was determined to prevent renal damage due to renovascular occlusion to a great extent, through complex mechanisms involving antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiapopitotic effects. Biochemical, histological and oxidative stress parameters were improved due to ASX.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine metabolic disorder diseases. The application of herbal medicine to control glucose levels and improve insulin action might be a useful approach in the treatment of diabetes. Mulberry leaves (ML) has been reported to exert important activities of anti-diabetic.

In this work, we aimed to explore the multi-targets and multi-pathways regulatory molecular mechanism of Mulberry leaves (ML, Morus alba Linne) acting on diabetes.

Identification of active compounds of Mulberry leaves using Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology (TCMSP) database. Bioactive components were screened by FAF-Drugs4 website (Free ADME-Tox Filtering Tool). The targets of bioactive components were predicted from SwissTargetPrediction website, and the diabetes related targets were screened from GeneCards database. The common targets of ML and diabetes are used for Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway enrichment analysis. The visualization networks were constructed by Cytoscape 3.7ting on diabetes. And the signal pathways involved in the mechanisms mainly include AMPK signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway, insulin signaling pathway and insulin resistance. The molecular docking results show that the 8 key active compounds have good affinity with the key target of AKT1, and the 5 key targets (IGF1R, EIF2AK3, PPARG, PPARA and PTPN1) have better affinity than AKT1 with the key compound of quercetin.

Based on network pharmacology and molecular docking of this work provided an important systematic and visualized basis for further understanding the synergy mechanism of ML acting on diabetes.

The presence of plasmid mediated mcr-1 gene in multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria poses a serious public health concern in today's world.

The present study was aimed to detect the presence of plasmid mediated mcr-1 encoding resistance to colistin in multiple drug resistant (MDR) E. coli and K. pneumoniae isolates.

A total 180 clinical isolates of E. coli (n=120) and K. selleck chemicals pneumoniae (n=60) were isolated from different clinical specimens i.e. urine, blood, stool and pus, from diagnostic labs of two major public sector tertiary care hospitals in Peshawar, Pakistan. MDR profile of these isolates was assessed through Kirby-Baur disc diffusion method. All isolates were screened for colistin resistance by dilution methods. Colistin resistant isolates were subjected to PCR for mcr-1 detection and confirmation was done by Sanger sequencing method.

Overall 83.3% (100/120) E. coli and 93.3% (56/60) K. pneumoniae were detected as MDR. Colistin resistance was found in 23.3% (28/120) E. coli and 40% (24/60) K. pneumoniae isolates whereas mcr-1 gene was detected in 10 out of 52 colistin resistant isolates including six E. coli and four K. pneumoniae isolates. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of colistin in these ten mcr-1 positive isolates ranged from 4µg/ml to 16µg/ml. All mcr-1 positive isolates showed 99% sequence similarity when compared with other present sequences in GenBank.

Hence, our study confirms the presence of mcr-1 mediated colistin resistance in the studied area. Therefore, urgently larger scale surveillance studies are recommended to investigate prevalence of mcr-1 mediated colistin resistance and to prevent its further spread in the area.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cancer with a high mortality rate and is usually detected at middle or late stage, missing the optimal treatment period. The current study aims to identify potential long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) biomarkers that contribute to diagnosis and prognosis of HCC.

The differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) in HCC patients were detected from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset. LncRNAs signature was screened by LASSO regression, univariate and multivariate Cox regression. The models for predicting diagnosis and prognosis were established respectively. The prognostic model was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier survival curve receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and stratified analysis. The diagnostic model was validated by ROC. The lncRNAs signature was further demonstrated by functional enrichment analysis.

We found the 13-lncRNAs signature that had a good performance in predicting prognosis and could help to improve the value of diagnosis. In the training set, testing set and entire cohort, the low risk group had longer survival than the high risk group (median OS 3124 vs 649 days, 2456 vs 770 days and 3124 vs 755 days ). It performed well in 1-, 3-, and 5- year survival prediction. 13-lncRNAs-based risk score, age and race were good predictors of prognosis. The AUC of diagnosis were 0.9487, 0.9265 and 0.9376 respectively. Meanwhile the 13-lncRNAs were involved in important pathways including the cell cycle and multiple metabolic pathways.

In our study, the 13-lncRNAs signature may be a potential marker for prognosis of HCC and improve the diagnosis.
