Abstract
Cisplatin is a major chemotherapeutic drug in the treatment of some cancers and nephropathy is its main side effect. Reactive oxygen species have an important role in the nephrotoxicity of this drug. The goal of the present study was to investigate the effect of Satureja Khuzestanica essential oil, which contains antioxidant agents, on Cisplatin induced nephropathy.
Materials and Methods: This study was performed on male 200-300gr Wistar rats. In control group Cisplatin (5mg/kg) was injected. In case groups, Satureja Khuzestanica essential oil with 50, 100 and 200mg/kg doses and then Cisplatin were injected. Also in some other groups essential oil and then normal saline (instead of Cisplatin) were injected. Three days after Cisplatin injection, plasma Creatinine and Urea levels and Creatinine clearance and fractional excretion of Na were measured as renal function tests.
Results: Simultaneous administration of essential oil with a dosage of 200mg/kg and Cisplatin resulted in the death of animals. The essential oil injection with a dosage of 100mg/kg intensified nephropathy of Cisplatin and with a dosage of 50mg/kg the intensity of nephropathy did not have any significant difference with the control group. Essential oil administraton by itself had no effect on renal function.
Conclusion: Simultaneous administration of Satureja Khuzestanica essential oil with Cisplatin not only will not decrease nephrotoxicity of this drug but also may increase the intensity of Cisplatin induced nephropathy in higher doses.

Abstract
Background : Taraxacum Syriacum Boiss from Taraxacum Officinalis species is used in traditional herbal medicine for the treatment of jaundice, liver disorders and gallstones. This study was designed to investigate the ethanolic extract effect of the root of Taraxacum Syriacum (TSBE) on Acetaminophen-induced nephro-toxicity.
Materials and Methods: The root of Taraxacum Syriacum Boiss were analysed using SPME-GC/MS (Solid Phase Microextraction). In this experimental study, 30 male rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=6). The rats were treated firstly with different doses of TSBE (50,100 and 200 mg/kg, p.o.) daily for 7 days then they intraperitoneally were injected with 700 mg/kg Acetaminophen. Water was administered to the control group for seven days. Toxic (Acetaminophen) group received water for seven days and on day 7, 700 mg/kg Acetaminophen was intraperitoneally injected. Twenty-four hours after the Acetaminophen administration, animals were anaesthetized and blood was collected from the heart for assaying serum creatinine. Kidneys were removed, then cut off and placed in 10% formalin for histopathology assessment.
Results: 21 chemical components of Taraxacum Syriacum Boiss root including 1,1-dimethyldiborane, 1-propene 3-ethoxy, 3,5-octadien-2-one, nonanal, decanal, nonanoic acid and carvacrol were identified and extracted. Creatinine reduced significantly in the experiment group (TSBE 200 mg/kg) in comporison with the toxic group. Also, in histopathology assessment, kidney necrosis reduced in experimental groups (TSBE 100, 200 mg/kg).
Conclusion: TSBE seems to have a protective role in Acetaminophen induced nephro-toxicity and the role of phenolic compounds such as carvacrol is important.

Abstract
Background: In recent years, it has been recommended to use natural materials, instead of chemically synthesized drugs with side effects, in the control and treatment of infections. Increasing use of medicinal plants for medical treatment made for this branch of complementary medicine a unique position. The present research was done to study anti-microbial effect of Medicago sativa exctract in comparison with Ciprofloxacin, Gentamicin and Penicillin antibiotics on clinical strains and phatogenic bacteria such as P. aeruginosa , E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. Materials and Methods: Experiments were conducted using micro broth dilution and disc diffusion methods, and MIC and MBC of the plant have been evaluatead. Results: MIC Medicago sativa extract was effective on gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes on the 206.25 and 6600 µg/ml and on the gram-negative bacteria tested in this study had no effect. Conclusion: Based on the research findings, mentioned herbal extract can be a good candidates for laboratory studies to separate active compounds in this plant to achieve effective antimicrobial drugs.

Abstract
Background: One of the major problems presented to health care systems is the increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. Today, natural substances, such as essential oils with antimicrobial properties, are increasingly used as an alternative to antibiotics. The present study aimed to assess the effect of chitosan nanogels containing essential oil of peppermint (Mentha Piperita) on clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii in vitro.
Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, Acinetobacter baumannii were isolated from selected hospitals in Khorramabad. After preparing nanogels containing peppermint essential oil (Mentha Piperita), the minimum inhibitory concentration of chitosan nanogels on Acinetobacter baumannii isolates was determined by micro broth dilution method in a 96-well plate according to Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute instructions.
Results: The mean minimum inhibitory concentrations of nanoparticles without essential oil of peppermint, containing peppermint, and gentamicin were 47±496, 48±301, and 25±25, respectively. This is indicative of the high sensitivity of the assessed strains to gentamicin, in comparison with the other two groups (P≤0.001) and the more effective performance of Menthapiperita in the inhibition of the growth of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates, as compared to nanoparticles without peppermint essential oil (P≤0.001).
Conclusion: The obtained results of the present study pointed to the effective ability of chitosan nanogels containing peppermint essential oil to inhibit the growth of Acinetobacter baumannii isolates, in comparison with non-essential nanoparticles (Mentha Piperita).

Abstract
Background: Chlorpyrifos is a type of organophosphorus poison that, despite its widespread use, can lead to tissue damage, including spleen tissue. Khuzestani savory plant has antioxidant properties and is effective in reducing damage caused by oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Khuzestani savory plant essential oil on chlorpyrifos-induced spleen toxicity in male Wistar rats.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental research, 28 adult male rats weighing between 180-220 grams were selected and divided into 4 groups of 7. Were examined. Statistical comparison between the control group, Khuzestani essential oil 25 mg/kg, chlorpyrifos poison 0.01 mg/kg and Khuzestani essential oil 25 mg/kg + chlorpyrifos poison 0.01 mg/kg using SPSS 22 software and square test Chi was performed with Monte Carlo simulation under a significance level of 0.05.
Results: Chi-square test showed that there was a statistically significant difference between different groups in terms of the distribution of spleen tissue damage types (P=0.005); So, in the chlorpyrifos poison group, tissue damage such as macrophage and pigment accumulation and spleen white pulp analysis was observed, while no tissue damage was observed in the other groups.
Conclusion: Our study showed that the Khuzestan savory plant is effective in preventing tissue damage due to its antioxidant compounds such as carvacrol. Also, considering the negative effects of chlorpyrifos in the doses recommended by the World Health Organization, further investigations are necessary.
