Functional Molecular Plasma Biomarkers of Inflammation and Repair in Kidney Disease Progression in Gum Arabica Modality of CKD Sameeha AlShelleh, Maysa Suyagh, Hussein Alhawari, Nailya Bulatova, Violet Kasabri, et al. International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2026 Using colorimetric ELISA, this study aims to assess the impact of Gum Arabica (GA) consumption on functional molecular plasma biomarkers of chronic kidney disease (CKD) via a prospective cohort of GA-consumers (cases) vs. non-consumer (age- and CKD stage-matched) controls. Cohort’s hypertension (92.5%), dyslipidemia (64.8%), and diabetes mellitus (54.8%) were prevalent; the mean CKD duration was 6.94 years (SD 7.8) for both study groups. Comparable eGFR, sCr, ESR, CRP, HbA1c, FPG, UA, and fasting lipid parameters were in both study arms. In consumer cases, the mean duration of GA-consumption was 1.3 ± 1.1 (range 0.25–6) years with a mean dose of 1.7 ± 1.0 (range 0.5–6) spoons per day. Leucine-rich alpha 2-glycoprotein, plasminogen activator inhibitor 1, sirtuin 1, and SOST–sclerostin 1 were significantly (p value < 0.01) of lower concentrations, but lipocalin 2 and uromodulin were invariably (p value < 0.05) greater in the GA-consumer cases than those of controls. Strikingly, cystatin C, myeloperoxidase, orosomucoid 1, and symmetric dimethylarginine lacked any substantial variations in the GA-consumer cases vs. those in controls (p value > 0.05). Proportional correlations of CKD duration–PAI1 levels and sCr-lipocalin 2 levels but inverse correlations of orosomucoid 1-hypertension duration and SDMA-DBP were evident in cases.
Scaling holistic e-health solutions in cancer care using a qualitative realist framework Samar J. Melhem, Shereen Nabhani-Gebara, Nailya Bulatova, Ibrahim Alabbadi, Hamzeh Almomani, et al. Frontiers in Public Health, 2025 Background While e-health innovations have advanced cancer-care delivery in high-income countries, middle-income countries (MICs) face distinct systemic, infrastructural, and sociocultural challenges in adopting and scaling digital-health interventions. There is a growing imperative to explore how holistic digital platforms can be implemented effectively in oncology within resource-constrained settings. Objective This study aimed to investigate the barriers and facilitators influencing the scalability and adoption of a comprehensive e-health solution in cancer care, drawing on a realist paradigm to determine what works, for whom, and under which circumstances, in the context of Jordan. Methods A qualitative study, underpinned by a realist paradigm, was conducted using in-depth, semi-structured interviews with oncology healthcare professionals from diverse clinical settings in Jordan. Interviews were conducted in Arabic, translated into English, and analyzed using a hybrid inductive–deductive framework approach. The Implementation of Change Model guided interpretation of the findings, enabling the identification of multi-level contextual influences. Results The analysis yielded a central theme— Facilitators and Barriers to Implementing a Holistic e-health Solution —comprising six deductive subthemes derived from the Implementation of Change Model: (A) Innovation; (B) Patients; (C) Healthcare professionals; (D) Organizational context; (E) Social context; and (F) Economic and political context. Across these subthemes, interpretive codes were classified as barriers or facilitators. Participants emphasized the necessity of assessing e-health readiness prior to implementation, and the importance of integrated, cross-sectoral approaches to support scalable, sustainable solutions. Conclusion This study provides novel, contextually grounded insights into the implementation dynamics of digital transformation in oncology within MICs. It offers actionable guidance for policymakers and system designers aiming to foster sustainable, equitable digital-health ecosystems.
Results of Preclinical Studies of 4-(2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-oxoethyl)-1-(thietane-3-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-4-th Bromide in Relation to the Hemostasis System in vivo Y. Wang, N. R. Bulatova, E. E. Klen, G. A. Rozit, I. L. Nikitina, et al. Drug Development and Registration, 2024 Introduction. A characteristic manifestation of vascular brain damage is depressive disorders that accompany both acute and chronic disorders of cerebral circulation. Depression not only reduces the patient's quality of life, but also complicates the treatment of basic vascular disease, increases the risk of stroke and death. Therefore, complex therapy of vascular depression includes not only antidepressants, but also basic means to correct the consequences of disorders of cerebral blood flow, including with antiplatelet activity. In this regard, the development of a new molecule based on thietane-containing heterocycles, combining the properties of an antidepressant and an antiplatelet agent.Aim. To conduct a preclinical evaluation of 4-(2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-oxoethyl)-1-(thietane-3-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-4 bromide when administered to rats.Materials and methods. A study was conducted of the effect of 4-(2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-oxoethyl)-1-(thietan-3-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazol-4-bromide on the hemostasis system during intravenous and intragastric administration to healthy white non-linear sexually mature male rats (n = 160). Thromboelastography was performed on a TEG 5000 device, activated with a 0.2 M solution of calcium chloride, Born aggregometry and standard clotting tests to assess the coagulation component of hemostasis.Result and discussion. The findings show that 4-(2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-oxoethyl)-1-(thietane-3-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-4-th bromide with peroral administration exceeded acetylsalicylic acid by 2.8 times in terms of ED50, and by 1.8 times with intravenous way of administration accordingly. A similar effect of pentoxifylline in the intravenous route of administration was recorded at a concentration of 27.8 mg/kg versus 12.4 mg/kg of compound I. The results of a complex method to assess the state of the hemostasis system indicate a more pronounced antiaggregational effect of compound I compared with pentoxifylline and acetylsalicylic acid.Conclusion. Preclinical studies of 4-(2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-oxoethyl)-1-(thietane-3-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-4 bromide, was demonstrated that a combination of antidepressant and antiplatelet activity, which can serve as a basis for further drug development.
