Abstract

General Background: Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare endocrine malignancy characterized by excessive parathyroid hormone secretion and severe metabolic disruption. Specific Background: Although its biochemical profile is well documented, evidence describing how chemotherapy influences circulating calcium, phosphate, vitamin D metabolites, and trace elements—particularly among older women—remains limited. Knowledge Gap: Few studies systematically compare these biochemical alterations with healthy controls to determine the extent of treatment-associated metabolic derangement. Aims: This study evaluates and correlates key biochemical parameters in women with parathyroid carcinoma undergoing chemotherapy relative to age-matched healthy subjects. Results: Findings demonstrated significantly elevated serum calcium and parathyroid hormone, alongside reduced phosphate, 25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)₂D, zinc, and iron in the patient group, indicating marked disruptions across mineral metabolism, vitamin D dynamics, and trace element homeostasis. Novelty: The study provides one of the first integrated biochemical assessments focused exclusively on chemotreated female patients, revealing a broader metabolic signature than previously recognized. Implications: These results highlight the importance of comprehensive biochemical monitoring to improve diagnostic accuracy, evaluate treatment response, and anticipate complications, thereby supporting more precise management strategies for parathyroid carcinoma.Highlight : Elevated calcium and PTH are the key biochemical disturbances. Reduced phosphate and vitamin D indicate notable metabolic impairment. Trace element changes support the need for comprehensive biochemical evaluation.

Abstract

Background: Lactobacillus normally plays a protective role in the maternal microbiome, yet under certain dysbiotic conditions it may be associated with metabolic and immunological disturbances during pregnancy. Specific Background: Evidence regarding postpartum health consequences of Lactobacillus infection remains limited, particularly its link to inflammatory and metabolic alterations. Gap: No studies have assessed metabolic and immune outcomes 40 days postpartum among women infected with Lactobacillus during pregnancy. Aim: This study examines postpartum metabolic profiles, inflammatory markers, and immune balance in women previously exposed to Lactobacillus infection. Methods: A cross-sectional comparison of 100 infected and 100 healthy women was conducted using clinical, biochemical, and immunological assessments. Results: Infected women exhibited higher fasting glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, CRP, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, TPOAb, and TgAb, alongside lymphopenia and a Th1-dominant immune shift. Novelty: This study provides early evidence that Lactobacillus-associated dysbiosis in pregnancy may contribute to sustained metabolic and immune dysregulation beyond delivery. Implications: Findings highlight the importance of monitoring postpartum women with pregnancy-related dysbiosis and suggest a potential role of microbiome alteration in long-term maternal health. Highlights:• Distinct postpartum metabolic disturbances in infected women• Marked inflammatory activation associated with dysbiosis• Altered Th1/Th2 balance persisting after delivery Keywords: Lactobacillus Infection, Postpartum Metabolism, Immune Imbalance, Cytokines, Maternal Health

Abstract

General background: 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives are well-established heterocycles with broad pharmacological potential, and metal coordination frequently enhances their therapeutic profiles. Specific background: Recent studies highlight the need for compounds capable of dual modulation of metabolic and endocrine disorders, particularly diabetes and hyperthyroidism, where single-target therapies often yield limited outcomes. Knowledge gap: Despite promising reports, few studies have integrated experimental pharmacology with quantum chemical modeling to explain how metal coordination influences biological potency. Aims: This research synthesized a new oxadiazole–indolinone ligand and its Co(II), Ni(II), Cr(III), and Fe(III) complexes and evaluated their antidiabetic and anti-hyperthyroid activities through in vivo assays supported by DFT calculations and molecular docking. Results: All complexes demonstrated dose-dependent activity, with Co(II) exhibiting the strongest glucose reduction (120 ± 7 mg/dL) and T₄ suppression (7.1 ± 0.4 µg/dL), consistent with superior docking affinities and favorable electronic descriptors. Novelty: This study correlates spectroscopic, computational, docking, and pharmacological findings in a unified structure–activity interpretation. Implications: The results indicate that metal coordination significantly boosts biological efficacy, positioning Co(II) complexes as strong candidates for future dual-action therapeutics in diabetes and hyperthyroidism.Highlight : Metal complexation improves biological effectiveness of the ligand. Co(II) complex shows the strongest dual activity based on results. Docking findings align with experimental data, supporting the SAR.
