“…With respect to CAs, the negative control, as well as, the three doses of the plant extract shared similar means (1.3, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.3%, respectively), but they were significantly lower than the corresponding mean in the positive control (5.9%). In contrast, there was a significant reduction in the spontaneous formation of MN in mice treated with first two doses (0.32 and 0.34%, respectively) as compared to negative (0.50%) or positive (12.84%) controls Table (1) The results of second and third treatments (pre-and post-treatments) confirmed the forthcoming findings, and the extract was able to modulate the immunosuppressive and mutagenic effects of MMC, especially at the dose 1.5 mg/kg, in which a significant enhancement of TLC and MI, and a significant reduction in the induced CAs and MN formation were observed Table (2).…”

The present study was carried out with the aim to evaluate the hematological and cytogenetic effects of seed aqueous extract of the plant Ammi majus (0.5, 1.0, 1.5) mg/kg in albino male mice. The investigated parameters were total count of leucocytes (TLC), mitotic index (MI), micronucleus (MN) formation and chromosomal aberrations. The mitomycin C (MMC) was used as a mutagen in the interaction with the plant extract (pre- and post-treatment), with the aim to determine the antimutagenic efficiency of the plant extract, and in all cases, the materials were given orally. In the first treatment, the results indicated that the dose 1.5 mg/kg of the extract enhanced the parameters investigated and a significant increase was observed in TLC (10070 cells/cu.mm.blood) as compared to negative (7290 cells/cu.mm.blood) or positive (4910 cells/cu.mm.blood) controls, and such observation was positively correlated with the mitotic index. In contrast, the spontaneous formation of MN was significantly decreased in the three investigated doses of the extract. In pre- and post-treatment experiments, a similar picture was drawn, and the plant extract was able to modulate the mutagenic effects of MMC.

“…The histological sections of the liver of the pregnant female rats in the control groups did not show any histopathological changes during the three stages of gestation (20,16,7) days respectively and as shown in the figure (1), while the histological sections of the liver of the pregnant female rats treated with Sodium nitrite at concentrations (10) mg / kg pathological effects during the three stages of gestation (20, 16, 7) respectively such as destruction of the wall of the central vein, necrosis and degeneration of hepatocytes, dilation of sinusoids, destruction of hepatic tissue, hemorrhage, infiltration of inflammatory cells and as shown In the figures (2,4,6) respectively, these negative effects were more severe in the liver tissue of pregnant female rats treated at a concentration of 15 mg/kg, and their intensity increased with increasing stage of gestation as in the figures (3,5,7) respectively 11245…”

“…Food additives have been defined as any natural or industrial chemical that is not usually consumed as food in itself and is not usually used as a main component of food (Linke et al, 2018), and one of the important types of food additives is preservatives which are chemicals that are added to products food to prevent decomposition by microbial growth, enzymatic activity and oxidation and is very important in the food, drug and cosmetic industry to prevent bacterial growth and to improve the nutritional value, texture and taste of foods (Al-dhaher, 2008), and one of these preservatives is sodium nitrite (NaNO2), which is an inorganic sodium salt and its international code is 250E (Moorcroft et al, 2001).…”

This study was carried out in the animal house of the College of Science at the University of Kufa from 15/11/2021 to 15/5/2022for the purpose of studying the harmful histological effects of the preservative sodium nitrite in some organs (livers, kidneys and brains) of fetuses during gestation (16,20 days) and during the three stages of gestation (7,16,20) days respectively of pregnant female rats that were treated with sodium nitrite,45 pregnant rat female of Rattns rattus type (Sprague Dawley) whose averages weights were (230) g and ages were (12) weeks, pregnant rats were divided into 3 main groups and each group contained 15 pregnant females: the first group was treated with physiological salt solution and was as a control group, while the second group was dosed sodium nitrite at a concentration of 10 mg/kg of body weight, while the third group was dosed sodium nitrite at a concentration of 15 mg/kg of body weight, each of the main groups was divided into 3 secondary groups, each of which included 5 pregnant rats, the first, second and third secondary groups from each main groups were dissected during (7,16,20) days of gestation, respectively,,,,

BACKGROUND: Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is common, yet no curative treatment identified. Cinnamon is a herbal substance, which has many applications in medicine. AIM: The aim of the study was to study the effect of cinnamon on patients with chronic pelvic pain syndrome. METHODS: Sixty patients with documented CP/CPPS randomized into two groups during 2018 and 2019 in Baghdad. The first group received 60 capsules each contained 1 g of cinnamon. The other group received 60 capsules each contained 1 g of sugar powder (placebo). All the patients instructed to take one capsule twice daily for 1 month. National Institutes of Health-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) was reported for both groups at baseline and after 1 month of treatment. The primary outcome was a patient perceivable improvement defined as a reduction of the NIH-CPSI by 6 or more points after 1 month, whereas improvement of sub-scores of NIH-CPSI (pain, urinary symptoms, and quality of life) considered as a secondary outcome, and adverse reactions reported. RESULTS: Thirteen patients (43.3%) of the cinnamon group have 6 or more points of reduction in the total NIH-CPSI compared to four patients (13.3%) of the control groups (p = 0.01). The improvement in total NIH-CPSI score was mainly due to improvement in pain sub-score, whereas in urinary symptoms, there was marginal change with no significant change in the quality of life score. The only reported side effect was gastric upset in one patient. CONCLUSION: The study concluded that cinnamon improves NIH-CPSI in patients with CP/CPPS. REGISTRATION: The study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov with the ID: NCT03946163.
