INTRODUCTION: The question of the optimal methods of conservative treatment of patients with critical lower limb ischemia (CLLI) and diabetes mellitus (DM) is still open. AIM: To evaluate the long-term results of therapeutic treatment of patients with CLLI and DM whose peripheral vascular bed is unsuitable for reconstruction, or who refused surgical treatment for different reasons, and to determine effectiveness of additional angiogenesis in this group of patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The work involved 65 patients with CLLI and DM who were divided to 2 groups. The control group of patients (40 individuals) received a course of conventional therapy. In the study group (25 individuals), additional exogenous stimulation of angiogenesis was used with angiogenic vascular endothelial growth factor. Subsequently, instrumental parameters of limb perfusion were assessed within 6 months, and in the long-term period (5 years), limb preservation and mortality in this group. RESULTS: Exogenous stimulation of angiogenesis permits to improve the following 6-month treatment results (8% of deaths and 20% of amputations in the study group versus 15% of deaths and 42.5% of amputations in the same period in the control group), and permits to maintain this trend within 5 years of follow-up (64% of deaths and 72% of amputations in the study group versus 80% of deaths and 87.5% of amputations in the control group). Reliable differences between the groups in the frequency of amputations were observed on visits in 6 months (p = 0.041) and in 1 year of follow-up (p = 0.048). According to instrumental data, the best parameters in terms of the painless walking distance (p = 0.032) and transcutaneous oxygen tension were obtained in the study group by 6 months of follow-up (p = 0.028). CONCLUSIONS: Therapeutic angiogenesis improves the results of treatment of patients with CLLI and diabetes mellitus, especially in 6 months — 2 years interval, however, conservative therapy still demonstrates unsatisfactory results of treatment in the near and in the long terms.

Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND: Statistics shows a decrease in the birth rate in Russia. This is alarming fact that obliges to take some measures, including preventive ones. Since the reproductive health of students will determine demographic indicators for many years to come, it is very important to choose methods of prevention in one direction or another, taking into account modern technical trends and hobbies of young people. AIM: To explore the knowledge of students of different specialties in matters of reproductive health, reproductive culture. To suggest the way of preventive measures based on the data obtained. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study involved students from the Ural, Moscow and St. Petersburg universities. 537 questionnaires were processed. The questionnaire indicated the social status of the participants (gender, age, university profile). According to the latter criterion, the sample was divided into four groups: natural sciences, medical sciences, technical sciences, and humanities. An anonymous survey was conducted in the “Google form”. The respondents answered questions about the most pressing problems of reproductive health and reproductive culture. RESULTS: 64% of the respondents assess their reproductive health as good; the most popular source of information on contraception for university youth is the Internet. According to the analysis of the data obtained, in the event of an unwanted pregnancy, only 24% of the women surveyed would have the pregnancy kept, which may indicate a low reproductive culture of students. CONCLUSION: To take attention to reproductive health and prevention issues among students in accessible terms, blogging on social networks by specialists in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, urology and andrology, senior medical students or clinical residents can be proposed.

Despite intensive study of pathophysiology, of molecular and cell mechanisms of progression of atherosclerosis, development and introduction of a wide range of new conservative and surgical treatment methods, until now the diseases of lower limb arteries (DLLA) are one of the most urgent problems of the modern vascular surgery and medicine in general. Intensive development of roentgen-endovascular methods of treatment for the diseases of lower limb arteries has led to a considerable revision of the tactics of management of this category of patients in the recent years. Despite the achievements of roentgen-endovascular surgery, frequency of obstructions after surgical revascularization of limbs remains high, both in early and late postoperative periods. It should also be noted that despite the intensive development of methods of therapy of patients with DLLA, frequency of limbs amputation in this category of patients remains high. One of the urgent problems of management of patients with DLLA after endovascular treatment is the problem of restenosis. In the recent years, new efficient methods of pharmacotherapy of DLLA have been developed and introduced into clinical practice, which allows significant improvement of medical prognosis in this category of patients and improvement of the outcomes. It should be noted that standard approaches to antithrombotic therapy in patients after endovascular surgeries based on use of antiaggregant drugs, can only decrease the rate of thrombotic complications, but not of restenosis, which, from the point of view of pathophysiology, is mainly hyperproliferative condition. Among promising approaches to treatment of restenosis, there is use of cilostazol, efficiency of which after endovascular surgeries on coronary and peripheral arteries has been proven in a number of studies.

Imagination, fantasies, dreams, and hallucinations are contiguous mental processes that reflect various forms of image processing at the internal level. The ability to maintain boundaries between them, reflecting as they do either external or profoundly internal, subjective reality (reality testing), is considered to be one of the most widely accepted criteria of mental health. Nevertheless, traditionally these processes have been investigated independently by different authors adopting different approaches, and there is a discernible lack of studies dedicated to the comparative analysis of these phenomena, both in their theoretical and empirical aspects. At the same time, such data could be used to develop diagnostic methods of investigating mental processes in normal conditions as well as in cases of mental disorders. The aim of this study is to investigate people's common ideas about imagination, fantasies, dreams and hallucinations, as well as the subjective experience of them in comparison with each other. The study's group of participants consisted of 45 nominally mentally healthy people (32 women and 13 men) aged between 17 and 29 years old. The following methods were used during the study: a semistructured interview aimed at studying the respondents' ideas about imagination, fantasy, dreams and hallucinations, and visual drawings of the forms, which these processes took. According to the results of the study, in the case of 15% of the respondents, their ideas about imagination, fantasies, dreams and hallucinations differed from their scientific definitions. The drawings of the images of imagination, fantasies, dreams and hallucinations varied in terms of emotional experience. The more the mental process is voluntary and subjectively controlled, the more these images are associated with positive emotions. In particular, images of imagination are mainly associated with a positive emotional charge, images of fantasy more often evoke positive emotions, but also ambivalent experiences, and drawings of the images of dreams and hallucinations are most often associated with negative emotions.

Considerando o esvaziamento semântico do prefixo pós-, o artigo propõe um conceito de pós-consumismo que não seja um simulacro de renovação ou um disfarce para a incapacidade de distingui-lo de um pré-consumismo. O trabalho analisa os sentidos do prefixo e seus usos contemporâneos, mostra a que se refere o pós-consumismo, individua esse estágio em relação a outros momentos da historicidade do consumo e, por fim, aventa as transformações pelas quais passará o fenômeno. Em sua posição pós-, o consumismo requer um ajustamento para a manutenção do equilíbrio econômico e funciona como estágio intermediário em direção a modos por enquanto impraticáveis no contexto de uma economia de mercado. Para desenvolver essas reflexões, o trabalho convoca o modelo dos regimes de interação de Eric Landowski e as discussões sobre pós-modernidade de J.-F. Lyotard, J. Baudrillard, Z. Bauman, J. Derrida, M. Maffesoli e G. Vattimo.
Corpi nel bosco

Published: January 2022

Gli asili e le scuole nel bosco, un’esperienza considerata marginale e stravagante, hanno avuto a sorpresa grande fortuna dal 2020 come reazione all’emergenza sanitaria imposta dal Covid e come ricerca di un’esperienza di didattica attiva alternativa all’insegnamento cattedratico in aula nella didattica scolastica ordinaria. Queste scuole in cui i bambini stanno sempre all’aperto in un ambiente naturale selvatico stanno sperimentando una didattica attiva basata su esperienze dirette che sfociano poi in conoscenza teorica acquisita: tale didattica è oggi percepita come esperimento libertario, attivo e innovativo benché esistano dal 1954 in Europa e abbiano una riflessione teorica precedente di riferimento consolidata e consistente. Di tale didattica ricostruiamo l’ideologia implicita, il sistema di valori su cui è fondata, le sue trasformazioni attuali, e l’atmosfera di fervore ed entusiasmo che caratterizza gli incontri nazionali dei suoi praticanti e sostenitori, dando conto dell’insieme di domande, dubbi, questioni, ipotesi e proposte che oggi attraversano questo movimento pedagogico-culturale.

Effect of a brief online shared reading ıntervention to support communication skills of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Akemoğlu Yusuf
Published: January 2022

Shared interactive book reading (SIBR) is an evidence-based practice for young children with developmental disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Children with ASD can benefit from structured activities such as SIBR, especially when they are supported by their parents. During SIBR, parents can support their children’s language and communication skills by engaging with them around a storybook. Parents can create opportunities for communication by commenting on the story, asking a question, and pointing at the pictures. In the current telepractice (internet-based) study, three parents and three children with ASD participated in the study. In a single-case multiple-baseline across subjects design, parents were trained to use expectant pause and mand-model strategy with their children. Parents’ frequency in use of the strategies increased during intervention. All three children increased their initiating and responding behaviors upon their parents’ use of strategies.

Published: January 2022

The presence of moisture content in a silo makes the preservation of a grain stock challenging especially when dealing with a large stock. This made it as a major concern for engineers to preserve large crops of grains and avoid huge losses. By installing a screw inside of a silo, the moisture problem could be avoided by stirring the loaded granular bed alongside aeration, also it could be effective to mix different types of loaded materials. The present work has sought to develop predictive models of discrete element method for mixing uniformity assessment when mixing wheat granules in a hopper-bottom screw mixer. The different factors being investigated are: initial configuration of particles, screw rotational direction, screw pitch length, screw diameter and screw rotational velocity. Findings regarding bed homogeneity were calculated using the nearest neighbor’s method. The best mixture was obtained when considering a side-wise filling type of particles ahead mixing and using a 20 mm screw diameter, 30 mm screw pitch and rotating the screw at 80 rpm speed.
Teaching applications of Mathematics in other disciplines: teachers' opinion and practice
Authors: ASLI Abdallah , ZSOLDOS-MARCHIS Iuliana
Published: January 2022

"Abstract. One of the main topics of mathematics education nowadays is teaching applications of mathematics in various fields, which lead in the recent decades to the development of the STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), connecting these disciplines using transdisciplinary or interdisciplinary approaches. Applications of mathematics has become important not only from academic point of view, as helping students to understand mathematics, to apply mathematical knowledge in various contexts, and to show the utility of mathematics, but also because mathematics is an integral part of our daily lives. Teachers have an important role in this approach, so it is important to study their attitude towards teaching applications of mathematics and their experience.
The research was conducted in 2021 in Israel. The participants are 221 mathematics teachers from post primary schools. The research instrument was a questionnaire developed for this study based on the scientific literature and aimed to find out teachers’ opinion about teaching applications of mathematics and their practice in integrating applications in their teaching. The questionnaire contains both closed and open questions. The responses were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed.
The results of the study show that 42.5% of teachers in Israel are teaching applications of mathematics. Analyzing the answers given by those teachers, who teach applications of mathematics, 47% are teaching applications in physics, 47.5% integrate them in their lessons few times a semester, and 52.1% of them teaching applications through presenting it to the students. In the participants’ opinion, the most important benefits of teaching applications of mathematics are arising students' interest for mathematics (44.3%) and motivating students for learning mathematics (34.8%). The most important obstacles of teaching applications of mathematics are time-constrains (30.8%) and lack of teachers’ skills to teaching mathematical applications in other disciplines (24.6%)."

Published: January 2022

"Abstract: The aim of this study is to examine the argumentation-based problem solving processes of 10th grade students in the context of quadratic equations. The study was carried out in a public high school in Istanbul. The study group consists of three male students selected by the method of “homogeneous sampling”. In the research, special case study, one of the qualitative research models, was used. The data in the application process were collected with two problem-solving activities related to quadratic equations. The students tried to solve the problems together by doing group work with one week interval for both problems. The problem solving processes of the students were recorded with the video recorder and the discussions between the students were analyzed according to Toulmin's argumentation model. According to the findings of the research, it was determined that the students used the argument (65), least rebuttal (3) and qualitative (3) components among the argumentation components.
Students produced less arguments in the first problem solutions than the second problem. For this reason, differences were observed in students' ability to produce arguments according to the qualifications of the questions. In addition, after the argumentation study, the students stated that the problem solving process contributed in the context of understanding the problem for themselves, expressing their thoughts, persuading their opinions by defending their ideas, and communicating together and they want to be found again in similar working environments."

Published: January 2022

Abstract: Purpose of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of the use of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach on sixth grade students’ statistical thinking levels. Mooney’s (2002) statistical thinking framework describing four thinking levels across four different statistical thinking processes was used. This study utilized a quasi-experimental pretestposttest design. In the experimental group, the data handling unit was taught using RME approach whereas in the control group lessons were taught traditionally using a mathematics textbook and direct instruction. A statistical thinking test composed of seven open-ended questions was prepared and applied to both groups as pretest and posttest. The change of students’ statistical thinking levels in pretest and posttest were analyzed and compared in both groups as well as between groups. The data analysis showed that the overall growth at Level 4 across statistical thinking processes was higher for the students who were taught using the RME approach than for those taught traditionally.
Prospective preschool and primary school teachers’ knowledge and opinion about gamification

Published: January 2022

Abstract. Gamification is a rather new method in education and unfortunately is not a widely known method among Hungarian primary school teachers in Romania. This paper presents the knowledge and opinion of pre-service preschool and primary school teachers about gamification and its use in education. In this study 81 Primary and Preschool Pedagogy students from BabeșBolyai University were participated, 80 of them were female and 1 male. 40 students are in first year and 41 in second year of their studies. The research was carried out during February-March 2020 at Babeș-Bolyai University, Romania. To get to know their point of view and knowledge about gamification, an online questionnaire was developed by the authors. The obtained data was quantitatively (closed questions) and qualitatively (open questions) analyzed. According to the results, half of the students think that there is no difference between gamification and game-based learning and for three quarter it is difficult to see the differences. This is surprising as students were taught about gamification before filling in the questionnaire. Students perceive a high level of utility of gamification in education. The most frequently mentioned benefits by the participants are that gamification motivates and actively involves students. Even if participants gave many advantages of integrating gamification in education, the biggest disadvantage is related with the time necessary for preparation of a gamified lesson and for the time-allocation during the lesson. As obstacles of using gamification, they mentioned the negative attitude or/and lack of methodological knowledge of some teachers and the constrains of the curriculum. Most of the preservice teachers prefer both paper-pencil based and technology-aid gamification. They consider solving exercises the most suitable for gamification.

Published: January 2022

Abstract: Reasoning is handled as a basic process skill in mathematics teaching. When the literature was examined, it was seen that many types of reasoning related to mathematics education were mentioned. In the present study, it was focused on visual reasoning, which is one of the types of reasoning and also used in different research areas. The purpose of the study was to propose a conceptual framework for what visual reasoning is and what its components are. The conceptual framework constructed consists of three components as visual representation using, visualization, and transition to mathematical thinking. In this framework, a clear distinction was made between the concepts of visual reasoning and visualization, which are thought to be intertwined with each other in the literature. At the same time, we tried to explain where visualization will take place in visual reasoning. Additionally, how visual reasoning will relate to mathematical thinking also distinguishes the framework from other frameworks.
The Evolution of Italian Melodrama: from Donizetti to Verdi

Published: January 2022

"This study presents the evolution of the Italian melodrama of the nineteenth century, having as a major composer exponents such as Gaetano Donizetti and Giuseppe Verdi. The rich culture of the Italian Romantic space, as well as the socio-political events of the 19th century, influenced the mentality and style of opera composers. Thus, titles such as “La donna del lago” (1819), “Wilhelm Tell” (1829) – G. Rossini, “I Capuleti e i Montecchi” (1830) – V. Bellini, foreshadow the new directions of Italian romantic opera. The maturation process of Italian romantic opera is crowned by Gaetano Donizetti and Giuseppe Verdi, who, through melodrama, achieve important stylistic synthesis.

Genre Hybrids in the Symphonical Creativity of Ye. Petrychenko as a Reflection of Time Trends
Authors: Varakuta Maryna , Kupina Daryna , Votintseva Maryna
Published: January 2022

"Some peculiarities of genre interaction are considered (based on the symphonic creativity of a modern Ukrainian composer – Yevhen Petrychenko). It was found out that the symphony genre is open to various interactions, resulting in complex genre hybrids that allow the symphony to realize all its potential and extend the “life” of the genre. It has been proved that the awareness of the peculiarities of the genre hybrid is possible only at the level of seperate works and is situational. Two types of interactions that characterize genre hybrids are identified. This is an equal combination of genres, which is reflected in the genre name and the superiority of one genre with the scattered manifestation of the characteristics of other genres. It was revealed that Symphony No.1 “Requiem” by Petrychenko demonstrates the first type of genre interaction, because it combines genre features of symphony, suite, requiem and quartet, in which the dominant genre role is played by symphony, features of other genres are sporadic and subordinate to laws of symphony genre. The first chamber symphony also belongs to the first type of genre interaction, but shows minimal influence of other genres, due to the complexity of the chamber symphony genre. At the same time, in the Symphony “Antitheses” the genres of symphony, cantata and vocal cycle interact, which is reflected in the genre denotation (vocal symphony), principles of development, form and drama of the work. The prospects of research of genre hybrid forms open ways to the comprehension of features of modern academic music.

Keywords: symphony, genre hybrid, genre interaction, the symphonic creativity of Yevhen Petrychenko, Ukrainian music, modern academical music.

Breathing Techniques in the Paris Singing Treatise (Méthode de Chant, Paris, 1803)
Authors: Similar Anca
Published: January 2022

"This article tries to identify the breathing techniques proposed in the Paris Singing treatise, published in 1803. The method gives us the description of the respiratory movement practiced by singers before the institutionalization of knowledge according to scientific research. The aim of the French school was to produce a natural tone and to deliver beauty in the act of singing without physical limitations or excesses imposed on the body or voice. We found that the French school aims to respect the length of the sentences and this to the detriment of the quality of the sound emitted. Regarding the physiology of breathing, the method uses analogies with images that allow singers to imagine what is “hidden” in their body, and explain the functioning of different parts, according to the “tasks” assigned to them. The teachers of this method suggest to the practitioner not to think about breathing and uses the term natural breathing, as there is no difference between the breath needed to sing and the breath needed to speak. Their abstraction is that the performer does not think about breathing while speaking, so there is no need for a breathing-oriented thinking process even during singing. Keywords: French singing school, natural breathing. "

The prolonged starvation has many effects on the physiological and morphological processes in fish and interferes them with the ability to absorb nutrients and caloric intake. The aim of present study was to investigate the effect of long-term starvation and posterior dietary administration of commercial synbiotic consisting fructoligosaccharide (FOS) which used in combination with Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium and Lactococcus spp. for evaluation on some blood biochemical parameters and histological characteristics of common carp liver. Experimental fish after 5 months starvation period were subjected to the following feeding protocols: continuous starvation until 60 day (ST), re-feeding (FS) with dry composed diet (Aqua 1032 Swim) and refeeding with composed diet and synbiotic (FSS) for the following 60 days. Blood samples were used for analysis of the following plasma parameters: total protein, albumin, globulin, urea, creatinine, cholesterol, AST, ALT, glucose and serum for thyroid hormones. Histology analyses were performed on the carp liver samples. During the experimental period, fasting and refeeding were influenced significant on studied biochemical parameters, except glucose and urea. Also, the statistically largest (P <0.001) difference was observed in albumin and cholesterol values after refeeding. Our results reveal the changes in values of biochemical parameters during long-term starvation and refeeding with synbiotic and indicate signs of structural alterations of the liver in common carp.

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of the storage time on the hatching traits of eggs obtained from a two-line dual-purpose combination for production of male chickens that will be utilized for meat. The trial was carried out in the experimental poultry farm of the Institute of Animal Science-Kostinbrod, with a total of 150 Lohmann Brown Classic layers, at the age of 54 weeks. Hatching eggs were gathered for three weeks and were stored for 5, 10 and 15 days at 15-18°C ambient temperature prior incubation. The storage time had no effect on the fertility of the set eggs, however, it adversely affected the hatchability. Prolonged storage led to significant decline in the total hatchability (P=0.0027) and the hatchability of the fertile eggs (P<0.0001) which was lowest after 15 days of storage prior incubation. The viability of the chickens was influenced by the storage of the eggs prior incubation (P<0.0001), and decreased considerably when the chicks were hatched from eggs stored for 15 days.

The purpose of the study was to increase the nutritional quality of pork, and to investigate the effect of the synbiotic on the oxidative stability of lipid. A 4 weeks experiment was performed on 8 weaned piglets (age 47 days, TOPIGS), divided into 2 groups (C, E). The control group (C) received a conventional diet, while the experimental group (E) included a diet supplemented with organic Zn and 10 g/kg synbiotic mixture. The productive parameters were evaluated. After slaughtered, muscle (tenderloin, shoulder, loin, ham and belly) and organs samples (liver, spleen and kidney) were collected. The muscle and organs samples were analysed regarding the proximate chemical analysis (dry matter, crude protein, crude fat, and ash). The antioxidant capacity and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were performed on shoulder and ham samples at first day of the trial, 4 and 7 days after refrigeration. The crude fat determined in the loin samples, recorded a significant increase in the E group compared to the C group. The ash was higher in the shoulder samples from C group than in E group. At 7 days of refrigeration, the MDA concentration was significantly lower in the shoulder and ham samples from E group than those from C group. The conclusion was that the diet supplemented with organic Zn and 10 g/kg synbiotic mixture contributed to the delay of the lipid oxidation process of the shoulder and ham samples during the refrigeration period.

This study evaluated the effect of some herbal plants as natural feed additives on broiler production parameters, carcass parts, and breast meat quality. A total of 150 broiler chicks, Cobb 500 hybrid, were allocated to five treatments with 30 broilers /group, for 42 days. The experimental treatments were: Control (C); a diet containing 5% alfalfa meal (A); a diet containing 5% alfalfa meal and 1% basil (AB); a diet containing 5% alfalfa and 1% thyme (AT) and a diet containing 5% alfalfa and 1% sage (AS). Bodyweight was significantly (P<0.05) affected in AS group compared with C and A groups. Feed conversion ratio was significantly higher only in A and AB groups. Experimental groups had significantly greater (P<0.05) gizzard weight. The total polyphenols content and the antioxidant capacity were significantly (P<0.05) higher in AB, AT, and AS groups versus the C group. The cholesterol concentration was significantly (P<0.05) decreased in AB, AT, and AS meat samples compared with C and A samples. Instrumental colour measurements indicated significant alterations (P<0.05) among the groups regarding the values of L*, a*, b*, H°, C*, and ΔE*. The texture analysis showed that hardness, gumminess, and chewiness were significantly (P<0.05) higher in AB, AT, and AS groups than in C and A groups.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the combined effects of trivalent chromium and camelina meal on proximate composition, mineral content and fatty acids profile of broiler chicken thigh meat. An experiment with 2 x 3 factorial arrangement was performed on 240 Ross 308 broiler chicken aged 14 days. Six dietary treatments were elaborated as follows: 0 and 3% inclusion rate of Camelina meal and 0, 200 and 400 μg/kg chromium picolinate (CrPic).

Supplementation of broiler diets with 3% Camelina meal led to significantly (P<0.05) increased crude fat concentrations in thigh samples compared to control group or with single chromium supplemented groups. In thigh samples, Zn and Fe concentrations increased under CrPic influence and fatty acids profile was influenced by Camelina meal presence in the diets. In Camelina meal supplemented groups, were registered significantly increased omega 3 fatty acids concentrations compared to control group or single chromium supplemented groups.

The results of the present study found that Camelina meal and chromium picolinate supplements in broilers diets improved the nutritional properties of thigh meat, especially essential minerals content and fatty acids profile.
The Effects and Mechanisms of Action of Zearalenone in Human Intestinal Epithelial Cells

Fusariotoxins are fungal secondary metabolites produced mainly by Fusarium and Giberella species, zearalenone (ZEA) being one of the most widespread members of this class. Exposure to ZEA affects the health of animals and humans, predominantly by disrupting the activity of the reproductive system due to its structural resemblance to estrogen, but it also affects other systems such as the digestive, nervous and immune systems. The main route through which ZEA enters the body is by ingestion, the intestinal epithelium being the first tissue exposed to the toxin. The intestinal barrier not only has a mechanical role in defending the body, it is also able to secrete effector molecules involved in the immune and inflammatory response such as cytokines. In this in vitro study, performed on the line Caco-2, the effects of ZEA on inflammation of the intestinal epithelium were studied by quantifying gene expression and protein concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8. Also, the mechanism of inflammation that ZEA can affect at intestinal level was investigated by monitoring the level of mRNA and the protein expression of the nuclear receptors NF-κB and Nrf-2. The results of this study demonstrate that ZEA has an anti-inflammatory character on human intestinal epithelial cells Caco-2, reducing the gene expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8. Also, ZEA led to a decrease in the protein concentration of IL-6 and IL-8. The anti-inflammatory response seems to be induced by modulation of gene and protein expresion of NF-κB and Nrf-2 nuclear receptors.
