Abstract
The human microbiome is a diverse ecosystem of microorganisms that reside in the body and influence various aspects of health and well-being. Recent advances in sequencing technology have brought to light microbial communities in organs and tissues that were previously considered sterile. The gut microbiota plays an important role in host physiology, including metabolic functions and immune modulation. Disruptions in the balance of the microbiome, known as dysbiosis, have been linked to diseases such as cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and metabolic disorders. In addition, the administration of antibiotics can lead to dysbiosis by disrupting the structure and function of the gut microbial community. Targeting strategies are the key to rebalancing the microbiome and fighting disease, including cancer, through interventions such as probiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), and bacteria-based therapies. Future research must focus on understanding the complex interactions between diet, the microbiome and cancer in order to optimize personalized interventions. Multidisciplinary collaborations are essential if we are going to translate microbiome research into clinical practice. This will revolutionize approaches to cancer prevention and treatment.

Abstract
Diabetes peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common complications of diabetes. Early symptoms are insidious, while late symptoms mainly include numbness, pain, swelling, and loss of sensation in the limbs, which can lead to disability, foot ulcers, amputation, and so on. At present, the pathogenesis is also complex and diverse, and it is not yet clear. Western medicine treatment mainly focuses on controlling blood sugar and nourishing nerves, but the effect is not ideal. In recent years, it has been found that many drug monomers have shown good therapeutic and prognostic effects in the prevention and treatment of diabetes peripheral neuropathy, and related research has become a hot topic. To understand the specific mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine monomers in treatment, this article provides a review of their mechanism research and key roles. It mainly includes flavonoids, phenols, terpenes, saponins, alkaloids, polysaccharides, etc. By nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), the signaling pathways of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), Nrf2/ARE, SIRT1/p53, etc, can play a role in lowering blood sugar, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, inhibiting cell apoptosis, and autophagy, promoting sciatic nerve regeneration, and have great potential in the prevention and treatment of this disease. A systematic summary of its related mechanisms of action was conducted, providing ideas for in-depth research and exploration of richer traditional Chinese medicine components, and also providing a relatively complete theoretical reference for clinical research on diabetes peripheral neuropathy treatment.

Abstract
Naringin is a natural flavonoid with therapeutic properties found in citrus fruits and an active natural product from herbal plants. Naringin has become a focus of attention in recent years because of its ability to actively participate in the body's immune response and maintain the integrity of the immune barrier. This review aims to elucidate the mechanism of action and therapeutic efficacy of naringin in various inflammatory diseases and to provide a valuable reference for further research in this field. The review provided the chemical structure, bioavailability, pharmacological properties, and pharmacokinetics of naringin and found that naringin has good therapeutic potential for inflammatory diseases, exerting anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-oxidative stress, anti-ulcerative and detoxifying effects in the disease. Moreover, we found that the great advantage of naringin treatment is that it is safe and can even alleviate the toxic side effects associated with some of the other drugs, which may become a highlight of naringin research. Naringin, an active natural product, plays a significant role in systemic diseases' anti-inflammatory and antioxidant regulation through various signaling pathways and molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
Antimicrobial agent resistance has become a growing health issue across the world. Colistin (COL) is one of the drugs used in the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacteria resulting in toxic effects. Naringin (NRG), a natural flavonoid, has come to the fore as its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic activities. The aim of the present study was to determine whether NRG has protective effects on COL-induced toxicity in testicular tissue. Thirty-five male Spraque rats were randomly divided into five groups (n = 7 per group): Control, COL, NRG, COL + NRG 50, COL + NRG 100. COL (15 mg/kg b.w., i.p., once per/day), and NRG (50 or 100 mg/kg, oral, b.w./once per/day) were administered for 7 days. The parameters of oxidative stress, inflammation, apoptosis, and autophagic damage were evaluated by using biochemical, molecular, western blot, and histological methods in testicular issues. NRG treatment reversed the increased malondialdehyde level and reduced antioxidants (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione) levels due to COL administration (p < 0.001), and oxidative stress damage was mitigated. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-2 pathway, one of the antioxidant defence systems, was stimulated by NRG (p < 0.001). NRG treatment reduced the levels of markers for the pathways of apoptotic (p < 0.001) and autophagic (p < 0.001) damages induced by COL. Sperm viability and the live/dead ratio were reduced by COL but enhanced by NRG treatment. Testicular tissue integrity was damaged by COL but showed a tendency to improve by NRG. In conclusion, COL exhibited toxic effect on testicular tissue by elevating the levels of oxidative stress, apoptosis, autophagy, inflammation, and tissue damage. NRG demonstrated a protective effect by alleviating toxic damage.

Abstract
Oxaliplatin (OXL) is a significant therapy agent for the worldwide increase in cancer cases. Naringin (4',5,7-trihydroxy flavonon 7-rhamnoglucoside, NRG) has a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potentials. This research aimed to investigate NRG activity in OXL-induced hepatorenal toxicity. Accordingly, OXL (4 mg/kg b.w.) in 5% glucose was injected intraperitoneally on the first, second, fifth, and sixth days, and NRG (50 and 100 mg/kg b.w.) was given orally 30 min before to treatment. Biochemical, genetic, and histological methods were utilized to investigate the function tests, oxidant/antioxidant status, inflammation, apoptosis, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathways in kidney and liver tissues. Administration of NRG demonstrated an antioxidant effect by increasing the activities of OXL-induced reduced antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase) and decreasing the elevated lipid peroxidation parameter malondialdehyde levels. Nuclear factor-κB, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-1β, and inducible nitric oxide synthase levels increased in OXL administered groups but reduced in NRG-treated groups. In the OXL-administered groups, NRG reduced the apoptosis-inducing factors Caspase-3 and B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2)-associated X protein levels, while elevating the antiapoptotic factor Bcl-2 levels. OXL triggered prolonged ER stress by increasing the levels of ER stress parameters activating transcription factor 6, protein kinase R-like ER kinase, inositol-requiring enzyme 1α, and glucose-regulated protein 78. Therefore, with the NRG administration, this activity was reduced and the ER stress level decreased. Taken together, it was found that OXL induced toxicity by increasing the levels of urea and creatinine, alanine transaminase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase activities, inflammation, apoptosis, ER stress, and oxidants in the liver and kidney tissue, and NRG had a protective effect by reversing the deterioration in these pathways.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is an important adverse effect of treatment with oxaliplatin (OXA). We have developed PEGylated nanoliposomal oxaliplatin (OXA-LIP) and tested its activity in an animal model of CIPN. OXA-LIPs were prepared using a combination of egg yolk lecithin, cholesterol, and DSPE-mPEG2000 (at ratios 400, 80, and 27 mg). These liposomes were characterized using several different methods (e.g., polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential, FESEM). The in vivo study was performed in 15 male rats comprising three groups: a negative control (normal saline) OXA, and OXA-LIP. These were injected intraperitoneally at a concentration of 4 mg/kg on two consecutive days every week, for 4 weeks. After that, CIPN was assessed using the hotplate and acetonedropmethods. Oxidative stress biomarkers such as SOD, catalase, MDA, and TTG were measured in the serum samples. The functional disturbances of the liver and kidney were assessed by measuring the serum levels of ALT, AST, creatinine, urea, and bilirubin. Furthermore, hematological parameters were determined in the three groups. The OXA-LIP had an average particle size, PDI, and zeta potential of 111.2 ± 1.35 nm, 0.15 ± 0.045, and -52.4 ± 17 mV, respectively. The encapsulation efficiency of OXA-LIP was 52% with low leakage rates at 25 °C.Thermal hyperalgesia changes showed OXA has significant effects in the induction of neuropathy on days 7, 14, and 21 compared to the control group. OXA had a significantly greater sensitivity than the OXA-LIP and control groups in the thermal allodynia test (P < 0.001). OXA-LIP administration did not show significant effects on the changes of oxidative stress, biochemical factors, and cell count. Our findings provide a proof of concept on the potential application of oxaliplatin encapsulated with PEGylated nanoliposome to ameliorate the severity of neuropathy, supporting further studies in clinical phases to explore the value of this agent for Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Oxaliplatin induces chemobrain in cancer patients/survivors. Nutraceutical naringin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties with low oral bioavailability. Our aim was to formulate naringin in chitosan nanoparticles for nose to brain delivery and assess its neuroprotective effect against oxaliplatin-induced chemobrain in rats. METHODS Naringin chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by ionic gelation. Rats were administered oral naringin (80 mg/kg), intranasal naringin (0.3 mg/kg) or intranasal naringin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (0.3 mg/kg). Naringin's neuroprotective efficacy was assessed based on behavioral tests, histopathology, and measuring oxidative stress and inflammatory markers. RESULTS Selected nanoparticles formulation showed drug loading of 5%, size of 150 nm and were cationic. Intranasal naringin administration enhanced memory function, inhibited hippocampal acetylcholinesterase activity, and corrected oxaliplatin-induced histological changes. Moreover, it reduced malondialdehyde and elevated reduced glutathione hippocampal levels. Furthermore, it decreased levels of inflammatory markers: NF-kB and TNF-α by 1.25-fold. Upstream to this inflammatory status, intranasal naringin downregulated the hippocampal protein levels of two pathways: cGAS/STING and HMGB1/RAGE/TLR2/MYD88. CONCLUSION Intranasal naringin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles showed superior amelioration of oxaliplatin-induced chemobrain in rats at a dose 267-fold lower to that administered orally. The potential involvement of cGAS/STING and HMGB1/RAGE/TLR2/MYD88 pathways in the mechanistic process of either oxaliplatin-induced chemobrain or naringin-mediated neuroprotection was evidenced.

Hesperidin has a protective effect on paclitaxel-induced testicular toxicity through regulating oxidative stress, apoptosis, inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum stress.

Abstract
Paclitaxel (PTX) is widely used to treat a number of malignancies, although it has toxic side effects. Hesperidin (HES) has a wide range of biological and pharmacological properties, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant abilities. This research aims to investigate the role of HES in PTX-induced testicular toxicity. For 5 days, 2 mg/kg/bw i.p. of PTX was administered to induce testicular toxicity. Rats were administered oral dosages of 100 and 200 mg/kg/bw HES for 10 days after PTX injection. The mechanisms of inflammation, apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and oxidants were investigated using biochemical, genetic, and histological techniques. As a result of PTX administration, decreased antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase) activities and increased malondialdehyde level were regulated, and the severity of oxidative stress was reduced. NF-κB, IL-1β and TNF-α levels, which are among the increased inflammation parameters caused by PTX, decreased with HES administration. Although AKT2 gene expression decreased in PTX administered rats, it was determined that HES administration up-regulated AKT2 mRNA expression. Anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 decreased with PTX administration, and apoptotic Bax and Caspase-3 increased while HES administration reverted these effects towards control level. As a result of toxicity, the increase in ATF6, PERK, IRE1α, GRP78 levels caused prolonged ER stress, and this activity was diminished with HES and tended to regress. While all data were evaluated, Paclitaxel caused damage by increasing inflammation, apoptosis, ER stress and oxidant levels in testicular tissue, and Hesperidin showed a protective effect by correcting the deterioration in these levels.

Abstract
5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is an efficacious fluoropyrimidine antimetabolite anticancer drug, however, its clinical utility is constrained due to side effect toxicity on delicate organs, including the heart. This study thus aimed at exploring the cardioprotective potentials of naringin (NRG) against 5-FU-induced cardiotoxicity in rats. We divided Wistar rats into four experimental groups (n = 6) for the administration of NRG (100 mg/kg bw, orally) and/or 5-FU (150 mg/kg bw, intraperitoneal). NRG was administered for 10 days, while 5-FU was injected on the 8th day only. Serum troponin-I (cTn-I) and creatine kinase (CK) were estimated. Cardiac activities/level of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), reduced glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and nuclear factor-ĸB (NF-κB) and caspase-3 were determined. 5-FU markedly increased cTn-I, CK, cardiac inflammatory mediators and caspase-3 expressions, whereas antioxidant mediators decreased appreciably when compared to the control groups. Interestingly, the prophylactic administration of NRG prominently inhibited the 5-FU-provoked oxidative stress, pro-inflammation and apoptosis in the heart of rats. Histopathology confirmed the biochemical results of the heart. Therefore, NRG is a potential natural flavonoid for mitigation of 5-FU cardiotoxicity in rats.

Abstract
The glycosides of two flavonoids, naringin and naringenin, are found in various citrus fruits, bergamots, tomatoes, and other fruits. These phytochemicals are associated with multiple biological functions, including neuroprotective, antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiadipogenic, and cardioprotective effects. The higher glutathione/oxidized glutathione ratio in 3-NP-induced rats is attributed to the ability of naringin to reduce hydroxyl radical, hydroperoxide, and nitrite. However, although progress has been made in treating these diseases, there are still global concerns about how to obtain a solution. Thus, natural compounds can provide a promising strategy for treating many neurological conditions. Possible therapeutics for neurodegenerative disorders include naringin and naringenin polyphenols. New experimental evidence shows that these polyphenols exert a wide range of pharmacological activity; particular attention was paid to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, as well as other neurological conditions such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and chronic hyperglycemic peripheral neuropathy. Several preliminary investigations have shown promising evidence of neuroprotection. The main objective of this review was to reflect on developments in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of naringin and naringenin as potential neuroprotective medications.
