Oxidative medicine and cellular longevity

Infertility, a major global health problem affecting ~17.5% of couples, is influenced by various intrinsic (e.g., individual genetics) and extrinsic (e.g., related to environmental stimuli) factors. Oxidative stress and reactive oxygen spec…

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, a prevalent enzymopathy, predisposes individuals to hemolytic anemia upon exposure to various medications. This literature review explores the molecular underpinnings of drug-induced hemo…

Qingyi decoction (QYD) has anti-inflammatory pharmacological properties and substantial therapeutic benefits on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in clinical practice. However, its protective mechanism against SAP-associated acute lung injury…

Infertility and obstetric complications have become global health issues in the past few years. Infertility is defined as the inability of a couple to conceive even after twelve months or more of regular and unprotected intercourse. Accordi…

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic nonarticular rheumatic disease mainly characterized by diffuse disseminated skeletal muscle pain, with varied symptoms including anxiety, sleep disturbance, and fatigue. Due to its unknown etiology and pathoge…

Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological diseases among young women of reproductive age. Thus far, it has not been possible to define a parameter that is sensitive and specific enough to be a recognized biomarker for diagnosing…

BACKGROUND: Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells- (HuMSCs-) based therapy has shown promising results in the treatment of intrauterine adhesions (IUA). In this study, we aimed to construct a HuMSCs-seeded silk fibroin small-intestina…

AIM: Thin endometrium remains a severe clinical challenge with no effective therapy to date. We aimed at exploring the role and molecular mechanism of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell- (hucMSC-) derived exosomes (hucMSC-Ex) in rep…

Each cell in the body contains an intricate regulation for the expression of its relevant DNA. While every cell in a multicellular organism contains identical DNA, each tissue-specific cell expresses a different set of active genes. This or…

Polydatin, one of the natural active small molecules, was commonly applied in protecting and treating liver disorders in preclinical studies. Oxidative stress plays vital roles in liver injury caused by various factors, such as alcohol, vir…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine-related cause of infertility in women and has an unknown etiology. Studies have shown that rhamnocitrin (Rha) exhibits positive effects on the reproductive system. This study investigat…

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) significantly lowers the quality of life and impairs personal and social relationships in reproductive-age women. Some recommendations are that inappropriate oxidative stress and inflammatory response are involve…

The absence of peroxisomes can cause disease in the human reproductive system, including the ovaries. The available peroxisomal gene-knockout female mouse models, which exhibit pathological changes in the ovary and reduced fertility, are li…

The mechanism underlying the role of oxidative stress and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) in the aetiology of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is poorly understood. Here, we investigated the plasma AOPP level in POI patient…

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common disorder with significant hospital admission and mortality. Due to the unclarified pathological mechanism, there is still no effective and specific treatment for AP. Recently, autophagy has been found to …

Due to the challenges of antibiotic resistance to global health, bacteriocins as antimicrobial compounds have received more and more attention. Bacteriocins are biosynthesized by various microbes and are predominantly used as food preservat…

BACKGROUND: Persistent endometritis caused by bacterial infections has lethal effects on the reproductive performance of dairy cattle, which compromises animal welfare and delays or prevents pregnancy. The microRNA (miRNA) miR-34 family pla…

Acute pancreatitis (AP), an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas, can cause systemic inflammatory responses. Escin Sodium (ES), a natural mixture of triterpene saponins extracted from the dry ripe fruit of Fructus Aesculi or horse chestnut…

Oxidative stress (OS) arises when the body is subjected to harmful endogenous or exogenous factors that overwhelm the antioxidant system. There is increasing evidence that OS is involved in a number of diseases, including ovarian cancer (OC…

Postoperative peritoneal adhesions are considered the major complication following abdominal surgeries. The primary clinical complications of peritoneal adhesion are intestinal obstruction, infertility, pelvic pain, and postoperative mortal…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease that affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and up to 50% of women with infertility. The heterogeneity of the disease makes accurate diagnosis and treatment…

Due to its vast therapeutic potential, the plant-derived polyphenol curcumin is utilized in an ever-growing number of health-related applications. Here, we report the extraction methodologies, therapeutic properties, advantages and disadvan…

Osteosarcoma is a bone cancer characterized by the production of osteoid tissue and immature bone from mesenchymal cells. Osteosarcoma mainly affects long bones (femur is most frequently site) and occur in children and young adults with gre…

OBJECTIVE: Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) is an antioxidant enzyme, which has been proved to be involved in the pathophysiological process of oxidative stress and various neurological diseases in recent years. Although reduced PON1 activity has been …

Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, which is characterized by a rapid depletion of glutathione (GSH). Cysthionine-β-synthase (CBS) is a key coenzyme in GSH synt…
