The study highlights the effect of ethylacetate subfraction F1 from Polygonum cuspidatum root and piceid on the inhibition of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lytic gene expression. The MTT [3-(4,5-dimethyldiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] method was employed to assess the effect of F1 and piceid on the cell survival of P3HR1. The immunoblotting method and flow cytometry were applied to analyze the expression of EBV lytic proteins. The results showed that the EC50 (effective concentration re

Interesting properties like renewability, biocompatibility, and biodegradability are present in favorable materials produced by living organisms called biopolymers. They have recently caused some environmental concerns as they have been considered to compete with polymeric materials that are fossil-based. Energy, medical devices, electronics, and food packaging are some of the applications of biobased plastics that are gaining increasing interest. Microbes, agricultural wastes, animals, and plan

In the El-Oued region of the Algerian desert, tonsillitis, the most serious of infections, is cured with the common chameleon, Chamaeleo chamaeleon. Our study's main objective was to demonstrate its importance through aspirational science, in which we evaluated the aqueous extract of dry C.Chamaeleon powder's hemolysis, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. After preparing dry, C.Chamaeleon powder was examined using a scanning electron microscope to detect metals. The aqueous

Opisthorchiasis is a natural focal zooanthroponosis that is widespread in many countries of the world and poses a serious threat to human health. The largest and most intense focus of opisthorchiasis in the world is the Ob-Irtysh, covering 10 territories and regions of Russia and Kazakhstan. The incidence of the population in Western Siberia reaches 51.82%, and in some areas - over 95%. The highest incidence index in Russia is observed among the indigenous coastal population. The incidence is no

Production of plastic waste has been increasing on a global scale, resulting in an elevation in plastic waste pollution. There is a critical need to develop novel methods to scale down plastic waste pollution. Recycling the plastic scraps alone is not a complete solution for the rising problem. A key component of sustainability is reducing the use of plastics made from fossil fuels. Bio-based plastics are becoming more popular as a substitute for fossil-based polymers on the market. Researchers

The article presents a comparative study of the results of surgical treatment with abdominal and perineal approaches in patients with rectal prolapse. In 83 patients of both sexes (52 women) aged 16-85 years (median in women 46.5 ± 1.1, in men 48.2 ± 1.7 years) with rectal prolapse, abdominal or perineal fixation surgeries with and without resection of the prolapsed part of the rectum and minimally invasive surgeries were performed. After the abdominal or perineal procedures, inclu

The state of erythrocytes fully reflects the level of functional capabilities of the body and can be considered a reliable marker of its general condition. The study was carried out on 32 healthy young men who had low stable physical activity for a long time and started swimming training in the pool 3 times during the week. The control group consisted of 38 healthy young men who, over the past 5 years, regularly went in for swimming 3 times a week. Standard hematological and statistical methods

Due to the improvement of surgical techniques, the number of total pelvic evisceration surgeries is increasing annually. However, the number of postoperative complications remains high and varies between 31.2 and 45.1%. A common complication is the formation of a small intestine fistula. Further postoperative management of patients with the presence of a small intestine fistula is not an easy task. The mortality rate for this complication after total pelvic evisceration reaches 34.4%. The paper

A significant worry is the impact of non-biodegradable plastic garbage. Consequently, efforts are being made to make bioplastics from living resources based on those materials' capacity to decompose. The cost-effectiveness of these resources has led scientists to explore alternatives, such as photoautotrophic cyanobacteria. The prospective significance and rising popularity of exploiting cyanobacteria as a PHB resource are described in this review. Numerous studies demonstrate that under str

The present review examines the role of collagen hydrolysates in the treatment and prevention of joint diseases. Collagen is the main structural protein of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons in joints. Hydrolyzed collagen, as a source of specific amino acids, can be a building material for the formation of collagen fibrils in connective tissues. Enzymatic hydrolysis of chicken cartilage made it possible to obtain a complex of collagen type II hydrolysate and glycosaminoglycans. In clinical
