The current study sought to investigate the potential role of Trichinellaspiralis infection in the treatment of T. gondii-induced ileitis. Forty male Swiss albino mice were divided into four groups:a normal control group Igiven only phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), Group II givenPBS for 28 days then infected with T. gondii cysts for the induction o...

Background: Cryptosporidium parvum is a dangerous intestinal pathogen due to its devastating effect on immunocompromised individuals. Considering low efficacy, high toxicity in addition to the development of resistance for the drugs used, this study aimed to find a new alternative treatment having the advantage of lower doses and minimal toxicity....

Tegumental ultrastructures of the intestinal cestode Proteocephalus pentastoma (Proteocephalidea), parasitizing Mormyrus kannume of the River Nile

Fine tegumental structures of the bothriocephalidean cestode, Oncodiscus sauridae, an intestinal parasite of the lizardfish Saurida undosquamis in Suez Gulf, Egypt.

Although toxoplasmosis is worldwide spread, the available medications have low efficacy and high toxicity. This research aims to study the effect of artesunate loaded nanofiber and its combination with spiramycin as an alternative treatment for murine toxoplasmosis. Two groups of male Swiss albino male mice were used for acute and chronic phases of...

Design and fabrication of scaffolds using appropriate biomaterials are a key step for the creation of functionally engineered tissues and their clinical applications. Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL), a biodegradable and biocompatible material with negligible cytotoxicity, is widely used to fabricate nanofiber scaffolds by electrospinning for the a...

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a noninvasive and light-activated method for cancer treatment. Two of the vital parameters that govern the efficiency of PDT are the light irradiation to photosensitizer and visual detection of the selective accumulation of photosensitizer in malignant cells. Herein, we prepared an integrated nanoplatform for targeted...

A series of nitrogen-containing apigenin analogs 4a–j was synthesized via Mannich reactions to develop anticancer, antibacterial, and antioxidant agents from plant-derived flavonoids. The chemical structures of these compounds were confirmed using ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and ESI-MS. The in vitro biological activities of the analogs were evaluated via assa...

Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been extensively shown to play an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and cell cycle progression. The effects of endogenous ROS on the proliferation and differentiation of cancer stem cells (CSCs) have received increasing attention because of the unique properties of these cells th...

The present study described the developmental stages of a Haemogregarine species in blood of Tarentola annularis annularis (white spotted gecko Geoffory) with an infection rate
