TL;DR: The optimum intraperitoneal dose of CCl(4) was found to be 2 ml/kg body weight (dissolved in an equal volume of olive oil), and this increased the level of bilirubin and the activity of the three enzymes significantly, without causing death of the animals.

TL;DR: This study highlights the potential ecological implications of ZnONP release in aquatic environments and may serve to encourage regulatory agencies in Egypt to more carefully monitor and regulate the industrial use and disposal of ZNONPs.
Abstract: Freshwater snails are used as sensitive biomarkers of aquatic ecosystem pollution. The potential impacts of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) on aquatic ecosystems have attracted special attention due to their unique properties. The present investigation was designed to evaluate the possible mechanisms of ecotoxicological effects of ZnONPs on freshwater snail Biomphalaria alexandrina. ZnONPs showed molluscicidal activity against B. alexandrina snails, and the LC50 was 145 μg/ml. Two tested concentrations of ZnONPs were selected: The first concentration was equivalent to LC10 (7 μg/ml), and the second was equivalent to LC25 (35 μg/ml). Exposure to ZnONPs (7 and 35 μg/ml) for three consecutive weeks significantly induced malondialdehyde and nitric oxide with concomitant decreases in glutathione and glutathione-S-transferase levels in hemolymph and soft tissues of treated snails. Moreover, ZnONPs elicited a significant decrease in total protein and albumin contents coinciding with enhancement of total lipids and cholesterol levels as well as activities of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase in hemolymph and soft tissues of treated snails. This study highlights the potential ecological implications of ZnONP release in aquatic environments and may serve to encourage regulatory agencies in Egypt to more carefully monitor and regulate the industrial use and disposal of ZnONPs.

TL;DR: The results of this study strongly indicate the protective effect of S. xanthocarpum against liver injury which may be attributed to its hepatoprotective activity, and thereby scientifically support its traditional use.

TL;DR: The present report concerns three sibs, in all of whom the mother noted intrauterine convulsions: the first two died in status epilepticus and the third survived thanks to pyridoxine treatment, and biochemical studies were undertaken after birth.
Abstract: Pyridoxine dependency is a relatively rare congenital metabolic disturbance. To date 16 patients have been reported who survived (Schmidt, 1964), and probably 7 of their sibs died because the disease was not recognized in time. The present report concerns the first cases observed in Czechoslovakia. Intrauterine convulsions are even rarer. Only two cases have been described (Badr-El-Din, 1960; Isler, 1964) and one mentioned in passing (Ford, 1960). Only one author (Badr-El-Din, 1960) mentions familial intrauterine convulsions, but there was no suggestion of a connexion between familial intrauterine convulsions and either congenital metabolic disturbance or pyridoxine dependency. For this reason we think our observations will be of interest. The present report concerns three sibs, in all of whom the mother noted intrauterine convulsions: the first two died in status epilepticus. The third survived thanks to pyridoxine treatment, and biochemical studies were undertaken after birth.
