88 µM)-induced apoptosis and necrosis of DRG neurons. Also, AM significantly ameliorated DOX-induced oxidative stress in DRG neurons. Real-time PCR results showed a significant increase in the expression of TNF-α, IL-1β, iNOS, MMP 3, and MMP 13, and a decrease in the expression of SOX9 following treatment with DOX. Treatment with AM (25 nM) significantly reversed the effects of DOX on the above-mentioned genes expression.

Our findings suggest that AM can be considered a novel ameliorating drug against DOX-induced neurotoxicity.

Ghrelin is a brain-gut peptide involved in substance and energy metabolism. To confirm the hypothesis that ghrelin might be involved in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a rat NAFLD model was established and the changes of ghrelin were explored.

The rats were divided into control and NAFLD groups. The rats in the NAFLD group were fed a high-fat-high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet for 8 weeks. Total ghrelin (TG), acylated ghrelin (AG), unacylated ghrelin (UAG), and hypothalamic AG and its receptor GHSR-1a expression were detected using ELISA, RIA, RT-PCR, and Western blot, respectively.

Plasma UAG, TG, and the ratio of UAG to AG (UAG/AG) decreased, while protein and mRNA expression of hypothalamic AG and growth hormone secretagogue receptor-1a (GHSR-1a) increased in NAFLD (
0.01). Plasma UAG and UAG/AG were negatively associated with homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), while AG positively correlated with HOMA-IR (R
=0.6510,
0.005; R
=0.8520,
0.000; R
=0.5617,
0.013, respectively). Plasma UAG, TG and UAG/AG negatively correlated with serum LDL-C or hepatic triglycerides (TGs) (R
=0.7733, P=0.001; R
=0.6930,
0.003; R
=0.6042,
0.008; R
=0.7046,
0.002; R
=0.6722,
0.004; R
=0.5124,
0.020, respectively). Hypothalamic AG and GHSR-1a positively correlated with HOMA-IR or hepatic TGs (R
=0.5116,
0.020; R
=0.5220,
0.018; R
=0.6074,
0.008; R
=0.5127,
0.020, respectively).

It might be that decreased circulating UAG/AG, rather than UAG or AG alone, were involved in IR and liver lipid accumulation in NAFLD. Acylated ghrelin might induce IR and promote liver lipid accumulation via a central mechanism involved in the hypothalamus.

Prompt detection of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) and carbapenemase-producing enterobacteriaceae is crucial for infection prevention and control strategies. The present study aimed to characterize the ESBL and carbapenemase genes among
isolates from an Iranian inpatient population.

A total of 96
isolates obtained from inpatients between June 2016 and March 2017, were identified by the conventional microbiological methods and diagnostic kits. Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern was performed using the disk diffusion method. The ESBL and carbapenemase genes were screened using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

All clinical isolates of
were classified as
(52, 54.2%),
(34, 35.4%),
(7, 7.3%),

(3, 3.1%). The highest and lowest antimicrobial resistance rates were observed against ampicillin (93.8%) and imipenem (21.9%). High prevalence of multi-drug resistance (MDR=96.9%) was substantial. Of the 96
isolates, 35 (36.5%) and 28 (29.2%) were phenotypically ESBL-positive and non-susceptible carbapenem, respectively. Overall, the frequency of evaluated genes was as follows bla
=25 (26%), bla
=30 (31.3%), bla
=12 (12.5%), bla
=3 (3.1%), bla
=0 (0%), bla
=8 (8.3%), and bla
=0 (0%).

In this study, we report for the first time the presence of
harboring bla
from an Iranian population. Regarding the increase of MDR
spp. Bardoxolone in our region, strict hygiene rules will be needed to control the quick spread of ESBL and carbapenemase-producing
isolates in healthcare facilities of developing countries.

This work aimed to assess the effect of 10 new chromon-3-aldehyde derivatives on changes of mitochondrial function under the conditions of brain ischemia in rats.

The work was executed on BALB/c male-mice (acute toxicity was evaluated) and male Wistar rats, which were used to model cerebral ischemia by permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion. The test-substances, 10 derivatives of chromon-3-aldehyde and the reference drug, N-acetylcysteine, were injected after modeling of ischemia for 3 days. After that, neurological symptoms, the area of cerebral infarction, and change in mitochondrial function were evaluated.

It was established that use of all chromon-3-aldehyde derivatives contributed to the recovery of mitochondrial function, which was reflected in enhanced ATP-generating activity, maximum respiration level, respiratory capacity, as well as reduction in the intensity of anaerobic reactions, apoptosis, and normalization of the mitochondrial membrane potential. The most pronounced changes were noted with the use of 6-acetyl substituted chromon-3-aldehyde derivative, the administration of which decreased neurological symptoms and size of brain necrosis area.

The obtained data may indicate the most pronounced neurotropic effect in a number of test-objects has the 6-acetyl substituted derivative of chromon-3 aldehyde, realized by restoration of mitochondrial function, which may be the basis for further study of chromon-3-aldehyde derivatives.
