Abstract
Stem cell-based therapy has been proposed as a novel therapeutic strategy for diabetic nephropathy. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of systemic administration of rat bone marrow-derived c-kit positive (c-kit+) cells on diabetic nephropathy in male rats, focusing on PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β pathway and apoptosis as a possible therapeutic mechanism. Twenty-eight animals were randomly classified into four groups: Control group (C), diabetic group (D), diabetic group, intravenously received 50 μl phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 3 × 105 c-kit- cells (D + ckit-); and diabetic group, intravenously received 50 μl PBS containing 3 × 105 c-Kit positive cells (D + ckit+). Control and diabetic groups intravenously received 50 μl PBS. C-kit+ cell therapy could reduce renal fibrosis, which was associated with attenuation of inflammation as indicated by decreased TNF-α and IL-6 levels in the kidney tissue. In addition, c-kit+ cells restored the expression levels of PI3K, pAKT, and GSK-3β proteins. Furthermore, renal apoptosis was decreased following c-kit+ cell therapy, evidenced by the lower apoptotic index in parallel with the increased Bcl-2 and decreased Bax and Caspase-3 levels. Our results showed that in contrast to c-kit- cells, the administration of c-kit+ cells ameliorate diabetic nephropathy and suggested that c-kit+ cells could be an alternative cell source for attenuating diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effects of voluntary exercise as an anti-inflammatory intervention on the pulmonary levels of inflammatory cytokines in type 2 diabetic male rats. Materials and Methods Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were divided into four groups (n=7), including control (Col), diabetic (Dia), voluntary exercise (Exe), and diabetic with voluntary exercise (Dia+Exe). Diabetes was induced by a high-fat diet (4 weeks) and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (35 mg/kg), and animals did training on the running wheel for 10 weeks as voluntary exercise. Finally, the rats were euthanized and the lung tissues were sampled for the evaluation of the levels of pulmonary interleukin (IL)-10, IL-11, and TNF-α using ELISA, and the protein levels of Nrf-2 and NF-κB using western blotting and tissue histopathological analysis. Results Diabetes reduced the IL-10, IL-11, and Nrf2 levels (P<0.001 to P<0.01) and increased the levels of TNF-α and NF-κB compared to the Col group (P<0.001). Lung tissue levels of IL-10, IL-11, and Nrf2 in the Dia+Exe group enhanced compared to the Dia group (P<0.001 to P<0.05), however; the TNF-α and NF-κB levels decreased (P<0.001). The level of pulmonary Nrf2 in the Dia+Exe group was lower than that of the Exe group while the NF-κB level increased (P<0.001). Moreover, diabetes caused histopathological changes in lung tissue which improved with exercise in the Dia+Exe group. Conclusion These findings showed that voluntary exercise could improve diabetes-induced pulmonary complications by ameliorating inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
There is evidence that kombucha beverage (KB), a traditional fermented beverage, has a preventive effect on experimental brain ischemia. According to our previous studies, pre-treatment of KB attenuates brain edema and improves motor skills and oxidative stress in a rat model of global brain ischemia. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of the pre-treatment of KB, as a novel agent, on pro-inflammatory parameters and brain histopathology changes following global brain ischemia. Adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the sham, the control, and the groups treated with kombucha (KB1 and KB2 groups). KB at doses 1 and 2 mL/kg was prescribed two-week consecutive days before induction of global brain ischemia. Global brain ischemia was induced by blocking common carotid arteries for 60 min and the following reperfusion by 24 h. The serum and brain levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), IL-1β, histopathological change, and infarct volume are determined using the ELISA, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining, respectively. This study indicated that pre-treatment of KB significantly reduced infarct volume, the serum, and brain levels of TNF-α and IL-1β. The histopathological finding of the brain tissue confirmed a protective role for pre-treatment KB in the ischemic rats. Thus, the present study showed that the beneficial effects of KB pre-treatment on brain ischemic may be mediated by decreasing pro-inflammatory parameters.

Abstract
This research was conducted to investigate the possible beneficial impacts of voluntary exercise on sciatic tissue, nitric oxide levels, stereological changes, and peripheral neuropathy caused by "high-fat-diet (HFD)"-induced "type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)" in male rats. Rats were put into four experimental groups at random: "healthy control (C), voluntary exercise (VE), diabetic (D), and diabetic rats treated by voluntary exercise (VED)"; each group contain eight animals. Animals in VE and VED groups performed "voluntary exercise (VE)" for ten weeks. Animals in D and VED groups became diabetic after receiving a HFD for four weeks and an intraperitoneal injection (IP) of "streptozotocin (STZ)" (35 mg/kg). In order to evaluate mechanical and thermal algesia, hot plate, tail withdrawal, and von Frey tests were carried out. At the end of this study, serum NOx levels were assessed, and histological and stereological analyses were conducted. Mechanical nociceptive thresholds indicated considerable reduction (p < 0.001) which was followed by a remarkable enhance (p < 0.001) in thermal nociceptive threshold of D group. Tissue changes were also seen in sciatic nerve of D group. Voluntary exercise modified thermal and mechanical sensitivity in diabetic rats. It also improved the damaged sciatic nerve in diabetic animals.

Abstract
Here, we aimed to explore the therapeutic effect of voluntary wheel running (VWR) in high-fat diet-fed rats on pulmonary tissue injury via the modulation of autophagic response. Thirty-two rats were allocated into four groups; normal diet (Control); VWR; high-fat-diet (HFD), and HFD + VWR. After three months, pathological effect of HFD on pulmonary tissue was investigated. The levels of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α were detected in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). We monitored the expression of interleukin (IL)-6 and autophagy-related genes in lung tissues. H&E staining showed pathological changes in HFD group coincided with the increase of TNF-α levels in the bronchoalveolar fluid compared to the normal rats. Our results showed the up-regulation of IL-6, becline-1, LC3 and P62 in the HFD group compared to the Control group. VWR inhibited HFD-induced changes and could decrease HFD-induced changes via the regulation of autophagy status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Investigation the association of pro-inflammatory markers interleukin (IL)-1β and IL- 10 expression, serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2), High-density lipoprotein (HDL), Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1), and ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily A Member 1 (ABCA1) inflammatory proteins with atherosclerosis index (homocysteine) in normal-weight and obese male subjects. METHODS 59 males including 30 obese (Body mass index (BMI) of ≥30 kg/m2) and 29 normal-weight (BMI of 18.5-24.9 kg/m2) were joined to this study. Plasma levels of IL-1β and IL-10 (pg/mL), CRP (pg/mL), COX-2 (ng/mL), APOA1 (mg/dL), ABCA1 (ng/mL), HDL, Cholesterol, and Triglyceride (TG) (mg/dL), and homocysteine (µmol/L) was measured. Association of these biomarkers with homocysteine was determined. RESULTS Obese subjects had higher serum levels of IL10, IL1β, CRP, COX-2, TG, and cholesterol concentrations (all p<0.05 except IL-10 and cholesterol) and low levels of HDL, APOA1, and ABCA1 (non-significant differences) in comparison to normal-weight group. Homocysteine levels were high in obese men with no significant differences between the two groups. In obese subjects, homocysteine had a significant inverse correlation with APOA1, ABCA1, and HDL, and a strong and moderate positive correlation was found with CRP and TG levels, respectively. CONCLUSIONS High level of homocysteine and its correlation with inflammation proteins and markers in obese subjects appear to be contributed with atherosclerosis development.
