Nutritional assessment of patients in haemodialysis by bioimpedance spectroscopy and BMI
Authors: McWhan Kezia Thorsted , Bech Jesper Nørgaard , Hornstrup Bodil Gade
Published: February 2025

INTRODUCTION. Dialysis patients carry an increased risk of malnutrition, which is often defined by BMI. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the quality of BMI as a marker of nutritional status in haemodialysis (HD) patients by comparing BMI to body composition measurements from bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS).

METHODS. This observational study included 85 patients receiving chronic HD in 2021 at the Dialysis Clinic, Gødstrup Hospital, Denmark. Nutritional status was assessed with BMI and BIS, which determined values of fat tissue index (FTI), lean tissue index (LTI) and overhydration. Furthermore, albumin blood levels were also assessed.

RESULTS. Patients with diabetes had a significantly lower LT and a higher FTI and BMI than their diabetes-free counterparts. LTI was inversely correlated to age, and BMI was correlated with FTI but not with LTI.

CONCLUSIONS. Our study illustrates that calculation of BMI in HD patients should be used with caution as it does not correlate with LTI, which is an important prognostic factor. We propose body composition assessment, e.g., by BIS, as a supplement to BMI in nutritional assessments.

FUNDING. This research received no specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial or not-for-profit sectors.

TRIAL REGISTRATION. Not relevant, as the project was performed as a quality assurance study.

Reactive Oxygen Species in Plant Physiology: Regulatory Mechanisms, Developmental Roles, and Nanomaterial Interactions: A Comprehensive Review
Authors: Kanti Chandra Gour , Prasad Sahoo Bishnu , Dviwedi Pankita
Published: February 2025

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are metabolic by-products in plants, comprising extremely reactive molecules like singlet oxygen, superoxide, and hydroxyl radicals. Although ROS can be harmful at elevated concentrations and detrimental at deficient levels, plants modulate their amounts via enzymatic and non-enzymatic defensive mechanisms. Respiratory burst oxidase homologs (RBOH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) are essential for the synthesis and conversion of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in various physiological processes, such as pollen formation, seed germination, fruit maturation, stomatal movement, and plant defense mechanisms. In pollen formation, reactive oxygen species (ROS) govern programmed cell death (PCD) in tapetal cells, facilitating appropriate microspore release. During seed germination, reactive oxygen species (ROS) regulate the equilibrium between abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellins (GAs), affecting dormancy and germination responses. Furthermore, reactive oxygen species serve as beneficial stimuli during the initial phases of fruit growth but may induce oxidative stress in subsequent stages. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) also contribute to stomatal control, with abscisic acid (ABA)-induced ROS generation facilitating stomatal closure during drought stress. Moreover, reactive oxygen species (ROS) are crucial in plant defense by initiating signaling cascades that elicit immunological responses to microbial assaults. In recent years, nanomaterials (NMs) have become significant contributors to reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulation. ROS-inducing nanomaterials, including AgNPs and Cu-based nanoparticles, provoke oxidative stress responses that bolster plant resistance, whereas ROS-scavenging nanomaterials, such as CeO₂ and Mn₃O₄ nanoparticles, alleviate oxidative damage and boost stress tolerance. Notwithstanding progress in comprehending ROS roles in plants, some pathways remain ambiguous, especially for pollen and fruit development, seed germination, and nanoparticle-mediated ROS modulation. This review consolidates existing knowledge on the roles of reactive oxygen species in plant physiology and emphasizes potential research avenues to clarify their regulation mechanisms.

Authors:   Faculty of Civil Aviation and Meteorology-Tripoli, Sbeaa-Libya, Ben Saed Mohamed
Published: February 2025

Professionals’ perceptions of safety related thinking in aircraft maintenance operations are still underrepresented, despite increased of safety research in aviation industry. By employing an institutional logics (ILs) theory, this article aims to explain how ILs influence safety perceptions, practices and behaviours in organizational safety. Based on a case study in an under-studied context, 13 semi-structured interviews were conducted with aircraft maintenance engineers in an airline based in MENA region. The interviews focused mainly on family and religion logics and how they interact with actors’ safety perceptions and practices. The findings showed that safety practices and perceptions were strongly influenced by cultural values and religious beliefs. For the first time, this article reveals that ILs offer valuable insights into the logic of family and religion in the context of aircraft maintenance safety and operations. The results showed that these logics play a basic approach in organizational safety. This study advances the current safety research in aviation and ILs literature in addressing the contextual elements on safety perception and practices of organizational safety. Therefore, it demonstrates that investigating safety perception through ILs framework improves our comprehension of safety and offers a number of explanations for safety related behaviours and beliefs that might otherwise have been perceived as illogical. Safety managers, experts, and accident investigators can assess aviation safety incidents and accidents and their prevention measures through the use of ILs approach.

The difficulty of safe/quality transportation, the rapidly increasing population and the production of protein products obtained from animals have led us to think that they can be used as an "alternative protein" source. It is reported in the literature that insects are a good source of macro (especially protein, fat and chitin) and many bioactive nutrients. The digestibility rate of edible diseases by human physiology is high, along with the physiology of the progress of the insect species. In the literature, protein content and bioavailability are compared with other plant/animal protein sources, where a good “alternative” food source can be found. In addition to its anti-carcinogenic, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and immuno-modulatory activities; Many clinical treatments are claimed in different areas of blood glucose levels and blood lipid profile. Authorities and current studies expressing their opinions in this field point out that edible parts of the edible parts may become a part of the more widespread human nutrition in the future as an "alternative" food source to meet the daily needs of the human body. However, comprehensive, safe and hygienic standards should be developed and implemented in order to ensure the consumption of edible insects, which have the potential of alternative food sources for the nutrition of the human population in the future.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the CRP-to-albumin ratio (CAR) and complete blood count parameters in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).
Methods: A retrospective study included 101 patients (61 female) and 35 healthy controls (18 female) who visited our hospital from January 2015 to June 2018. Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), albumin, and CRP were measured using the Hitachi 917 biochemistry analyzer. Complete blood count was performed with the Abbott CELL-DYN Ruby® hematology analyzer. Statistical analysis was conducted with SPSS 27.
Results: The FH patients had significantly higher median values of TC (328 mg/dL), TG (218 mg/dL), LDL-C (269 mg/dL), CRP (5.6 mg/dL), WBC (8.3×10^3/uL), NEU (4.9×10^3/uL), PLT (286×10^3/uL), and CAR (0.128), compared to the healthy controls. Significant differences were found between the two groups in TC, TG, LDL-C, albumin, CRP, CAR, WBC, NEU, LYM, and PLT (p<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) for CAR was 0.715, indicating its potential to distinguish FH patients from healthy controls (95% Confidence Interval: 0.626-0.824).
Conclusion: CAR is a valuable inflammatory marker for diagnosing and monitoring familial hypercholesterolemia, showing significant differences between FH patients and healthy controls.

Amaç: Çalışmada predatör stresi ile zebra balıklarında oluşturulan anksiyete üzerine kaju bitkisinin metanol ekstraktının anksiyolitik etkisinin mekanizması, beyin dokusunda moleküler düzeyde incelenecektir. Bu çalışmada, kaju metanol ekstraktının zebra balığı modelinde anksiyolitik etkilerini göstermek ve bu etkileri lipidomiks analizleri aracılığıyla moleküler düzeyde açıklamak amaçlanmaktadır.
Materyal ve Metot: Deneyde kullanılmak üzere predatör strese maruz bırakılan 18 balığı 3 gruba ayrılmıştır. Bu grupların her birine 3 hafta boyunca farmasötik formülasyon (diazepam), 100 gram toz haline getirilmiş kajunun 1 litre saf metanolde maserasyon yöntemiyle hazırlanmış ekstratı ve son olarak kontrol grubuna normal yem verilmiştir.
Bulgular: Kaju ekstresi ile tedavi edilen deney grubu ve diazepam ile tedavi edilen kontrol grubu, gerçekleştirilen deneyler sonucunda başarıyla birbirinden ayrılmıştır. Yapılan ayrım analizlerinin doğruluğu, hassasiyeti ve özgüllüğü başka deneylerle kanıtlanmıştır. Deney grubunda, anksiyete durumundaki zebra balıklarının beyin dokusundaki metabolit profili önemli ölçüde değişiklik göstermiştir. Çalışmada, anlamlı farklılık gösteren 64 metabolit tespit edilmiştir.
Sonuç: Zebra balığı modelinde deney grubu olarak kaju (Anacardium occidentale) bitkisi, kontrol grubu olarak diazepam kullanılmış olup kajunun içerdiği anakardik asit ve triptofan bileşikleri sayesinde anksiyolitik etkisi ispatlanmıştır.
