J Chem Neuroanat 2023; 132:102302. [PMID: 37301525 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchemneu.2023.102302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/07/2023] [Revised: 06/06/2023] [Accepted: 06/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Tramadol is analgesic medication to relief acute and chronic pain, referred to as alternative to opioid drugs however its abuse or overdosage may resulted in neuronal toxicity. This is attributed to severe fluctuations of neurotransmitters pattern along with cerebral inflammation and oxidative damage. Present work was undertaken to illustrate the cytoprotective effect of 10-dehydrogingerdione (10-DHGD) on the brain tissues of experimental rats due to Tramadol intake and its underlying mechanism. 24 male wistar rats were randomized into 4 equal groups. Group (1), received tramadol in a dose level 20 mg/kg intrapertioneal (i.p) daily for 30 days and referred to Tramadol group. Group (2), received both of 10-DHGD (10 mg/kg, orally) one hour before tramadol intake (dose as mentioned before) daily for 30 days. Group (3) received 10-DHGD only (10 mg/kg, orally) and daily for 30 days. Group (4), received no drugs and referred to control group for comparison. Tramadol significantly reduced Norepinephrin (NE), dopamine, serotonin and glutathione (reduced) contents of Cerebral cortex. lipid peroxidation, nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB), inducible nitric oxide synthase (INOS) levels and caspase-3 immunoreactivity showed however significant increase. Of note, 10-DHGD significantly increased neurotransmitters, glutathione contents while Malondialdehyde (MDA), Nitric oxide (NO), NFkB, INOS additionally caspase-3 immunoexpression showed significant decrease i.e counteracted to certain extent tramadol effect. These findings may refer to the cytoprotective potential of 10-DHGD against the neurotoxicity exerted by tramadol intake, most probably mediated via enhancement of endogenous antioxidants system.

Abstract
Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a famous dietary spice rich in bioactive components like gingerols, and it has been used for a long time as food and medicine. Indeed, clinical studies have confirmed the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of ginger. Thus, ginger seems to be an excellent complementary nutritional strategy for non-communicable diseases (NCD) such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease. This narrative review aims to discuss the possible effects of ginger on the mitigation of common complications such as inflammation, oxidative stress, and gut dysbiosis in NCD.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Inflammation and oxidative stress play critical roles in progression of various types of CVD. Broad pharmacological properties of ginger (the rhizome of Zingiber officinale) and its bioactive components have been reported, suggesting that they can be a therapeutic choice for clinical use. Consistent with its rich phenolic content, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of ginger have been confirmed in many studies. Ginger modifies many cellular processes and in particular was shown to have potent inhibitory effects against nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB); signal transducer and activator of transcription; NOD-, LRR-, and pyrin domain-containing proteins; toll-like receptors; mitogen-activated protein kinase; and mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathways. Ginger also blocks pro-inflammatory cytokines and the activation of the immune system. Ginger suppresses the activity of oxidative molecules such as reactive oxygen species, inducible nitric oxide synthase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione, heme oxygenase, and GSH-Px. In this report, we summarize the biochemical pathologies underpinning a variety of CVDs and the effects of ginger and its bioactive components, including 6-shogaol, 6-gingerol, and 10-dehydrogingerdione. The properties of ginger and its phenolic components, mechanism of action, biological functions, side effects, and methods for enhanced cell delivery are also discussed. Together with preclinical and clinical studies, the positive biological effects of ginger and its bioactive components in CVD support the undertaking of further in vivo and especially clinical studies.

Histopathological changes in submandibular gland and dorsal tongue of experimental rats due to prolonged tramadol intake focusing on novel modulatory effect of 10-dehydrogingerdione. Arch Oral Biol 2021; 130:105223. [PMID: 34371226 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2021.105223] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2021] [Revised: 07/16/2021] [Accepted: 08/02/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES This project aims to develop a framework to illustrate the degenerative effects induced by prolonged tramadol intake in salivary glands and tongue tissues. We strive in this work to investigate the probable role of 10-dehydrogingerdione (10-DHGD) in regeneration of these tissues. DESIGN Forty male albino rats were designated for the study and categorized into four groups. Group (1) received no drugs and served as normal control group. Group (2) received tramadol intra peritoneal (20 mg /kg) body weight daily for 45 days. Group (3) received freshly prepared 10-DHGD orally in a dose level (10 mg /kg). Group (4) received combination of tramadol and 10 DHGD for 45 days. Histological examination is that routine testing that was done in all studied subjects to demonstrate any cytological changes with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) in the submandibular glands and dorsal tongue tissues along with histochemical investigation using periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) and immunohistochemical presentation of Caspase-3. RESULTS Submandibular salivary glands and dorsal tongue tissues showed degenerative changes in tramadol treated group while control and 10-DHGD groups presented with no cytological or morphological changes. Histochemical investigation revealed marked reduction in PAS staining reaction in tramadol group as compared to other studied groups. Regarding to immunoreactivity of caspase-3 when all groups were compared, the differences in mean values of area percentage were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Tramadol provoked oxidative damage and apoptosis in oral tissues, which significantly decreased by 10-DHGD intake as it may exert an ameliorative effect that help alleviating these degenerative effects.

Abstract
Objective We evaluated swine and bovine pulmonary visceral pleura (PVP) in artery patch-angioplasty in swine model of high-fat diet. Background Arterial patch-angioplasty is frequently used for repair or reconstruction of arteries. An autologous patch is often limited by the number and dimension of donor tissue and can result in donor complications. Furthermore, mechanical mismatch is a cause of poor performance of vascular reconstruction. Here, we introduce a readily available patch biomaterial with similar compliance as native arteries. Methods The PVP was peeled from swine and bovine lungs by hydro-dissection. The swine and bovine PVPs were crosslinked with glutaraldehyde and then sterilized. The swine PVP (sPVP) patches were implanted in the carotid and femoral arteries of six Yorkshire pigs that were fed a regular diet and euthanized at 2 and 4 months postoperative. The bovine PVP (bPVP) patches were implanted in the carotid artery of six Yucatan pigs that were fed a high-fat diet and euthanized at 4 months postoperative. Patency was evaluated by ultrasound and angiography. Neo-endothelium and media were evaluated by histologic examination. Results All arteries in patch-angioplasties remained patent with no adhesions, inflammation, or aneurysms. Biomarkers of endothelial cells (e.g., Factor VIII and eNOS) were detected in the neo-endothelial cells. We observed endothelial cell–cell junctions in the confluent neo-endothelium in the PVP patches. Neo-media composed of vascular smooth muscle developed similar as native arteries. In the hypercholesterolemic model, we observed the accumulation of cholesterol in both arterial tissues and in the neo-vascular tissues in the PVP patches. Protein expressions of lipid transport and metabolism (e.g., APOE-1, ABCA, and PACK9) were also observed in both arterial and neo-vascular tissues. Conclusion The PVP patch-angioplasty overcomes the pitfalls of compliance mismatch of synthetic patches and has a non-thrombogenic surface. The proliferation of vascular cells assembled to generate the neo-endothelium and media in the patch-angioplasties to support long-term patency. The neo-vascular tissue in PVP patch-angioplasty also developed similar cellular functions for lipid transport and metabolism compared with native arteries in hypercholesterolemia.
