Abstract
Globally cancer and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are two major diseases and still, there is no clearly defined molecular mechanism. There is an opposite relation between cancer and AD which are the proportion of emerging cancer was importantly slower in AD patients, whereas slow emerging AD in patients with cancer. In cancer, regulation of cell mechanisms is interrupted by an increase in cell survival and proliferation, while on the contrary, AD is related to augmented neuronal death, that may be either produced by or associated with amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau deposition. Stated that the probability that disruption of mechanisms takes part in the regulation of cell survival/death and might be implicated in both diseases. The mechanism of actions such as DNA-methylation, genetic polymorphisms, or another mechanism of actions that induce alteration in the action of drugs with significant roles in resolving the finding to repair and live or die might take part in the pathogenesis of these two ailments. The functions of miRNA, p53, Pin1, the Wnt signaling pathway, PI3 KINASE/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway GRK2 signaling pathway, and the pathophysiological role of oxidative stress are presented in this review as potential candidates which hypothetically describe inverse relations between cancer and AD. Innovative materials almost mutual mechanisms in the aetiology of cancer and AD advocates novel treatment approaches. Among these treatment strategies, the most promising use treatment such as tyrosine kinase inhibitor, nilotinib, protein kinase C, and bexarotene.

Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory condition of colon characterized by severe damage to the innermost colon tissues. A number of studies described the use of medication delivery systems based on natural polymers like polysaccharides for the purpose of reaching the colon. In this research, polymer-based mesalamine delayed-release granules (DRGs) were tested for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory efficacy against UC. Chitosan (C), pectin (P), and pectin-chitosan (PC) mesalamine (M) DRGs were prepared and characterized. Data revealed satisfactory compatibility, flow, packing properties, drug release pattern, and delayed drug release by DRGs. Wistar rats were treated with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) (100 mg/kg) via rectal administration. Mesalamine and mesalamine DRGs (50 mg/kg) were administered orally separately for 14 days. Biomarkers of oxidative stress, inflammation, hematological tests, colon profile, and histopathology were performed. The findings demonstrated the good efficacy of the polysaccharides in delivering mesalamine to colon. Mesalamine and mesalamine DRGs based on various polymers showed significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in rats with UC. Mesalamine granules significantly attenuated colon lipid peroxidation, nitrites, myeloperoxidase activity, and interleukin-1β levels, and improved anti-oxidants (GSH, SOD). Data showed upregulation of Nrf2 activity by mesalamine granules with CM-DRGs showing maximum effect. Mesalamine and different polymer-based mesalamine DRGs significantly attenuated TNBS-induced decline in body weight, ulcer severity, and colon damage. CM-DRGs showed the most pronounced ameliorative effect on colon and hematology parameters via anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Chitosan can be used as a carrier for oral colon delivery of mesalamine in DRG formulation for enhanced therapeutic efficacy in UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycated proteins present new immunological epitopes on their surface against which autoantibodies are generated that have a possible role in immunopathogenesis in diabetic complications. METHODS In the present study, in vitro glycation- and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-modified human serum albumin (HSA) has been studied by different spectroscopic techniques (UV and fluorescence) and thermal denaturation profiles. The binding characteristics of circulating autoantibodies in diabetic patients and diabetic patients with secondary complications against native HSA (N-HSA) and ROS-modified glycated HSA (RG-HSA) were assessed by direct and competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In another approach, antibodies against RG-HSA (RG-HSA-Abs) induced in experimental animals were used as an immunochemical probe for the detection of gluco-oxidative lesions in blood proteins of patients (n = 8) with diabetic retinopathy. RESULTS Modified RG-HSA showed marked structural changes. High recognition of RG-HSA was shown by diabetic serum autoantibodies. Diabetic patients with retinopathy, nephropathy and atherosclerosis showed significantly (p < 0.001) stronger binding to RG-HSA over N-HSA. Normal human sera exhibited negligible binding with either antigen. Competitive inhibition ELISA results show significantly high binding of RG-HSA-Abs to albumin, immunoglobulin G and red blood cell membrane isolated from diabetic retinopathic patients. CONCLUSION In conclusion, these results suggest that hyperglycemia together with ROS may contribute to the immunopathogenesis of diabetes-associated complications.

Abstract
The seeds of Benincasa hispida (Thunb) COGN. (Family: Cucurbitaceae) was extracted with ethanol and was used to study acute toxicity, antinociceptive and anti-pyretic effects. Brewer's yeast (15%) was used to induce pyrexia in rats. The extract was non lethal to the rats up to the dose of 5000 mg/kg b.w. At doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg b.w, the extract significantly (P<0.05) increased the antinociceptive effective in a dose dependent manner in rats. Similarly, at doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg b.w the extract significantly (P<0.05) decreased yeast-induced pyrexia in rats. These results indicate that ethanolic extract of Benincasa hispida possesses potent antinociceptive and antipyretic effects and thus pharmacologically justifying its folkloric use in the management of fever and pain conditions.

Abstract
The study was carried out to investigate the antibacterial activity of the ethanolic extracts of Indoneesiella echioides (L) Nees. was evaluated by the filter paper disc method. This method is based on the diffusion of an antibiotic from a filter paper disc through the solidified culture media of a Petri dish used for study. The growth of inoculated is inhibited entirely in a circular area "Zone around the filter" paper disc containing a solution of antibiotic and the plant extract. The microorganisms used were: 1. Staphylococcus aureus (Gram positive 2. Escherichia coli (Gram negative). The organisms were maintained on nutrient agar slants. These were tested using nutrient broth. One loop full of the respective cultures was taken in slants which were maintained below 40 degrees C were taken and inoculated in the broth and incubated at 37 degrees C for 24 hrs and were observed for the growth of the organism with naked eye for their turbid nature. It was compared with that of sterile broth. The presence of turbidity indicated growth and suitability of the culture for further work.
