Authors: B. Bhuvaneswari  , S. Parameshwari
Published: October 2020

Childhood obesity is an important predisposing factor for most non-communicable diseases. Irrespective of the age and gender, the prevalence rates of overweight and obesity has attained alarming levels not only in developed countries but also in developing  countries among  all  socio-economic  groups.  The  prevalence  of  overweight  and  obesity has reached  alarming  levels, affecting virtually both developed and developing countries of all socio-economic groups, irrespective of their age and gender. Hence, the  present  study  was  aimed  to  identify  the  anthropometric  measurements  of  selected  overweight  and  obese  school-going adolescents from different schools from Madurai district Tamil Nadu, India. A total of 514 adolescents (312 Girls and 202 Boys) aged 13-18 years participated from government and private schools. Mean height, weight and BMI were calculated and compared with (National centre for Health Statistics) NCHS standard references. The mean height, weight and BMI were found to be increasing as the age increases of both genders. Body Mass Index of Girls (34.18 – 35.24)was found to be higher than boys (33.49 – 32.89) of the same age group.   The School-going adolescents of both genders, in general, have short stature at all ages as compared to NCHS reference data. The prevalence of Overweight 95 (18.48%) and obese 315 (61.28%) was found to be higher in Nuclear families, but there was no statistical association between family type and BMI (X2 = 2.575, p > .05). A significant relationship was found between the Body Mass Index of the adolescents and Father’s Educational qualification (p=.00) and Mother’s Occupation (p=.008). Nutrition education can play an important part in reducing the incidence of overweight/obesity and its associated complications.Extensive trials with a healthy school environment as an intervention may pave the way for developing new strategies to reduce the overweight and obesity in school-going adolescents.
A Comparative Study on Toxicity of Recombinant Chitinase on A Polyphagous Pest, Helicoverpa Armigera
Authors: Esther Shoba R
Published: October 2020

Holometabolous  insects  complete  their  life  cycle  in  four  stages:  egg,  larva,  pupa and  adult.  The  larval  stage  is characterized by instar and on an average most larvae has 4- 6 instar stages that occurs between molts. One of the essential enzyme for the process of moulting is chitinase. Expression of chitinase gene takes place when the insect is ready to moult, wherein the old exoskeleton being made of chitin is replaced with the new exoskeleton. Reports indicate that the introduction of the chitinase enzyme at inappropriate time and at inappropriate concentration will prevent the formation of chitin, resulting in no moult, thus growth retardation of the insect and finally death.  Insects own chitinase has shown to be a potential insecticide. In the present study, gene encoding for Helicoverpa armigera chitinase was isolated and the sequence was found to be of 1734bp as compared to the reference sequence. The gene was expressed in a prokaryotic and eukaryotic host system. The protein was purified using Ni- NTA column as the protein was tagged with histidine. Chitinase activity was determined and the obtained enzyme was used for toxicity studies against the same insect. Injection assay, topical application and oral ingestion studies showed that Pichia pastoris expressed recombinant chitinase was more effective as compared to the Escherichia coli expressed recombinant chitinase. In case of injection assay, P. pastoris expressed recombinant chitinase recorded 77% mortality for the highest concentration used. Topical application showed 58% and 40% of malformed pupae for Pichia pastoris end E. coli expressed recombinant chitinase. An significant decrease in weight gain was observed on 2nd  day   for P. pastoris expressed recombinant chitinase and from 7th  day for E.coli  expressed recombinant chitinase  in the oral ingestion studies. Effectiveness of Pichia pastoris expressed recombinant chitinase might be because of post translational modifications in the eukaryotic system.

Authors: Ashalatha K S  , Raveesha H R
Published: October 2020

Decalepis arayalpathra is one of the important medicinal plants with milky latex, which grows on the exposed rocky slopes at an

800-1200 m elevation. It is endemic to the southern region of the Western Ghats chiefly in the Agasthyamalai region of Tamil Nadu. The plant

has been used by traditional people to treat various diseases such as peptic ulcers, cancer like affliction, skin diseases etc. The moniliform tuberous roots have special fragrance like vanilla, because the roots contain different compounds such as α-amyrin acetate, ß-sitosterol, naringenin, kaempferol and aromadendrin especially in 2-hydroxy 4-methoxy benzaldehyde (2H4MB). The present study was aimed to examine the  phytochemical  screening  and  identification  of  bioactive  compounds  of  Decalepis  arayalpathra  by  GC-MS  &  HPLC  analysis.  The phytochemical analysis was carried out by using standard methods. Preliminary phytochemical screening showed major bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, flavonoids, proteins, steroids, terpenoids, quinones, resins, phenols, tannins, volatile oils and other phytocompounds. FTIR analysis  identified  various bioactive  components  and those  were  confirmed  through  GC-MS  analysis.  2-hydroxy  4-methoxybenzaldehyde (2H4MB) and     ß-sitosterol were quantified by HPLC analysis. Further studies have to be carried out in the in-vitro multiplication, isolation and characterization of compounds to enhance the root flavouring complexes for medicinal, food and beverage industries.

The  present study  was  chosen  to  discover  the  thermophiles  isolation  from  chimneys  of  baking  industries  o Madurai,  Tamilnadu,  India.  An  attempt  has  been  made  to  unearth  the  conserved  sequences  among  them.  Phylogenetic neighbour joining tree based on their 16S rRNA showing a relationship with related organisms has been constructed for each isolates keeping a species as an outgroup.  In Madurai, baking industries have been found to be one of the hottest area  having temperature as high as 120°C. Incubations of the bacterial colonies were done with covered water bath incubator at 70°C for 72-96 hrs in Castenholz TYE broth. The temperature range of 40-100°C, pH range of 4.0-10.0 and incubation period of 24-144 hrs was investigated for the best growth of thermophilic bacteria. Samples were collected in sterilized screw capped vials from different  sites of Madurai Baking Industries  and brought to the laboratory and kept at 4°C in the refrigerator  till further processing. PCR products were sequenced using same primers by a commercial sequencing facility (Xcleris lab). The sequences of these ten bacterial isolates after sequencing were blasted using online NCBI BLAST program. Ten thermotolerant bacteria isolates were isolated and the optimal temperature for growth of the isolates was 70°C and the optimal pH was 7.0. 16S rRNA gene  sequences  of  all  these  thermophilic  bacterial  isolates  exhibited  98-99%  homology  with  Bacillus  sp. The  phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequences also confirmed the relationship of these thermophilic isolates with the genus Bacillus The 16S rRNA gene of all isolates was amplified, sequenced, and insilico analysis of these ten sequences was carried out. Based on BLAST alignment of 16S rRNA gene sequences of these isolates to GenBank sequences, these all isolates belonged to genus Bacillus and showed 98-99% similarity. The present study delves in to isolation, identification, characterisation,and analysis o the genomes of  bacterial isolates such as Bacillus sp. VP1, Bacillus sp. VP2, Bacillus sp. VP3,Pseudomonas sp. VP4, Pseudomonas sp VP5,Bacillus licheniformis strain VP7,Bacillus sp. VP8, Bacillus sp. VP9, Bacillus altitudinis sp. VP10, and Bacillus cereus strain VP11.

Authors: Jency George  , Dr. Manjusha W. A.
Published: October 2020

Collagen is a protein, which plays a significant role in the development of tissues and organs. These are used for cosmetic surgery and as wound healing aids in burn patients, remaking  of bone and a wide assortment of dental, orthopedic and surgical purposes. These days’ collagen is isolated from calf, porcine tissue  and  so  forth.  But  it  can  cause  the  onset  of  diseases  such  as,  for  example,  Bovine  spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), Transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE), Foot-and-mouth illness (FMD), and so forth and furthermore cultural and social concerns. As another option, collagen can be separated from marine squid. The aim of the present work is to isolate and partially characterize the collagen from the marine squid, Uroteuthis duvauceli. The confined collagen was evaluated by utilizing Bradford test and partially purified by using gel filtration on a Sepharose 4B column. These filtered collagens were affirmed by SDS PAGE. These days industrially accessible collagen in the market are costly and are not affordable to the common people. The present  data  on  collagens  from  the  marine  squid,  could  help  the  future  endeavors  to  unwind  the therapeutically significant, more secure collagens from marine squid for their utilization in the biomedical field.
Composition and modification of the lung microbiome in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Authors: Ruta Victoria , Alexescu Teodora , Ungur Ana , Man Milena , Sfirlea Victoria , Pfingstgraf Iulia , Motoc Nicoleta , Pop Carmen
Published: October 2020

Lungs have long been considered sterile, but recent research has shown that a large number of microbiological organisms exist in the lungs of healthy subjects (including bacteria, fungi, and viruses), collectively known as the microbiome. It undergoes changes in patients with respiratory pathology. Studies in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis show that a large number of bacteria or the abundant presence of potentially pathogenic bacteria can cause disease progression and exacerbation, and can implicitly increase mortality. There seems to be a quantitative balance, a well-established proportion between the components of this microbiome, which is disturbed during a disease and can reach a "state of pulmonary dysbiosis". Evidence suggests that the microbiome may be used as a prognostic biomarker and may also explain the pathogenesis of interstitial fibrosis.

Authors: Höskuldsdóttir Gudrun , Ekelund Jan , Miftaraj Mervete , Wallenius Ville , Ottosson Johan , Näslund Ingmar , Gudbjörnsdottir Soffia , Sattar Naveed , Svensson Ann-Marie , Eliasson Björn
Published: October 2020

OBJECTIVE

To study the potential long-term benefits and possible complications of bariatric surgery in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In this register-based nationwide cohort study, we compared individuals with T1D and obesity who underwent Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery with patients with T1D and obesity matched for age, sex, BMI, and calendar time that did not undergo surgery. By linking the Swedish National Diabetes Register and Scandinavian Obesity Surgery Registry study individuals were included between 2007 and 2013. Outcomes examined included all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, stroke, heart failure, and hospitalization for serious hypo- or hyperglycemic events, amputation, psychiatric disorders, changes in kidney function, and substance abuse.

RESULTS

We identified 387 individuals who had undergone RYGB and 387 control patients. Follow-up for hospitalization was up to 9 years. Analysis showed lower risk for cardiovascular disease (hazard ratio [HR] 0.43; 95% CI 0.20–0.9), cardiovascular death (HR 0.15; 95% CI 0.03–0.68), hospitalization for heart failure (HR 0.32; 95% CI 0.15–0.67), and stroke (HR 0.18; 95% CI 0.04–0.82) for the RYGB group. There was a higher risk for serious hyperglycemic events (HR 1.99; 95% CI 1.07–3.72) and substance abuse (HR 3.71; 95% CI 1.03–3.29) after surgery.

CONCLUSIONS

This observational study suggests bariatric surgery may yield similar benefits on risk for cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in patients with T1D and obesity as for patients with type 2 diabetes. However, some potential serious adverse effects suggest need for careful monitoring of such patients after surgery.

Published: October 2020

OBJECTIVE

Diabetes may unfavorably influence the outcome of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), but the determinants of this effect are still poorly understood. In this monocentric study, we aimed at evaluating the impact of type 2 diabetes, comorbidities, plasma glucose levels, and antidiabetes medications on the survival of COVID-19 patients.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

This was a case series involving 387 COVID-19 patients admitted to a single center in the region of Lombardy, the epicenter of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic in Italy, between 20 February and 9 April 2020. Medical history, pharmacological treatments, laboratory findings, and clinical outcomes of patients without diabetes and patients with type 2 diabetes were compared. Cox proportional hazards analysis was applied to investigate risk factors associated with mortality.

RESULTS

Our samples included 90 patients (23.3%) with type 2 diabetes, who displayed double the mortality rate of subjects without diabetes (42.3% vs. 21.7%, P < 0.001). In spite of this, after correction for age and sex, risk of mortality was significantly associated with a history of hypertension (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.84, 95% CI 1.15–2.95; P = 0.011), coronary artery disease (aHR 1.56, 95% CI 1.04–2.35; P = 0.031), chronic kidney disease (aHR 2.07, 95% CI 1.27–3.38; P = 0.003), stroke (aHR 2.09, 95% CI 1.23–3.55; P = 0.006), and cancer (aHR 1.57, 95% CI 1.08–2.42; P = 0.04) but not with type 2 diabetes (P = 0.170). In patients with diabetes, elevated plasma glucose (aHR 1.22, 95% CI 1.04–1.44, per mmol/L; P = 0.015) and IL-6 levels at admission (aHR 2.47, 95% CI 1.28–4.78, per 1-SD increase; P = 0.007) as well as treatment with insulin (aHR 3.05, 95% CI 1.57–5.95; P = 0.001) and β-blockers (aHR 3.20, 95% CI 1.50–6.60; P = 0.001) were independently associated with increased mortality, whereas the use of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors was significantly and independently associated with a lower risk of mortality (aHR 0.13, 95% CI 0.02–0.92; P = 0.042).

CONCLUSIONS

Plasma glucose levels at admission and antidiabetes drugs may influence the survival of COVID-19 patients affected by type 2 diabetes.

Published: October 2020

OBJECTIVE

Patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have increased susceptibility to acute kidney injury (AKI), but mechanisms are unclear. We investigated the association of glycemic control with risk of AKI.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In two observational cohorts of U.S. (Geisinger Health System, Danville, PA) and Swedish (Stockholm CREAtinine Measurements [SCREAM] project, Stockholm, Sweden) adults with type 2 diabetes and confirmed CKD stages G3–G5 undergoing routine care, we evaluated associations between baseline and time-varying hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) with the incident AKI (defined as increase in creatinine ≥0.3 mg/dL over 48 h or 1.5 times creatinine over 7 days).

RESULTS

In the U.S. cohort, there were 22,877 patients (55% women) with a median age of 72 years and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 52 mL/min/1.73 m2. In the Swedish cohort, there were 12,157 patients (50% women) with a median age of 77 years and eGFR 51 mL/min/1.73 m2. During 3.1 and 2.3 years of follow-up, 7,060 and 2,619 AKI events were recorded in the U.S. and Swedish cohorts, respectively. The adjusted association between baseline HbA1c and AKI was similar in both cohorts. Compared with baseline HbA1c 6–6.9% (42–52 mmol/mol), the hazard ratio for AKI in patients with HbA1c >9% (75 mmol/mol) was 1.29 (95% CI 1.18–1.41) in Geisinger and 1.33 (95% CI 1.13–1.57) in the Swedish cohort. Results were consistent in stratified analysis, when using death as competing risk, and when using time-varying HbA1c.

CONCLUSIONS

Higher HbA1c was associated with AKI in adults with type 2 diabetes and CKD, suggesting that improving glycemic control may reduce the risk of AKI.

This was an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional study. The subjects of the study were household garbage collector in Jebres sub-district, Surakarta. A total of 134 respondents was recruited as samples using simple random sampling. A questionnaire sheet was used to collect individual data and dermatitis status was determined by the doctor’s diagnosis. A Chi-square test was used to investigate the relationship between the length of service and the use of long-sleeved work clothes and gloves with dermatitis. Logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with dermatitis. There was a significant relationship between the length of service with dermatitis p=0.000 (p<0.05). There was also a significant relationship between long-sleeve work clothes and gloves with dermatitis p=0.003 (p<0.05). The multivariable test showed that workers with a long length of service had a higher risk of having dermatitis compared to a short length of service (OR=6,701, p=0.000). It was also showed that more frequent use of long-sleeved work clothes intensity reduces the risk of getting dermatitis compared to sometimes use (OR=0.341, p=0.017). There is a significant association between the length of work and the use of long-sleeved work clothes and gloves with dermatitis on household garbage collectors in Surakarta.

Published: October 2020

This research was conducted by considering the problems that occur in Garuda Indonesia. Cite the problem of food menus that use writing in Indonesia. Garuda Indonesia's response to the case discussed below. Garuda Indonesia losses. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between crisis responsibility and post-crisis reputation obtained by Garuda Indonesia and to determine the relationship between crisis responsibility and post-crisis reputation by Garuda Indonesia. This study uses a quantitative method with a questionnaire as a method of collecting data distributed to Garuda Indonesia passengers discussing Garuda Indonesia about food menu updates by handwriting. The results showed that the crisis had a significant responsibility for post-crisis reputation in Garuda Indonesia. This happens because it occurs during a transition period, an action or response from the parties concerned becomes very fundamental to the image held after the case is finished. Public relations has a very important role in responding to debates. The mistake made by Garuda Indonesia by prohibiting visitors from taking pictures on the plane made Garuda Indonesia's post-crisis reputation also increase.Penelitian ini dijalankan didasari atas permasalahan pada maskapai Garuda Indonesia terutama mengenai penulisan menu makanan yang menggunakan tulisan kertas serta respon Garuda Indonesia terhadap kasus tersebut yang dianggap kurang baik karena melarang seluruh penumpang maskapai Garuda Indonesia untuk mendokumentasikan gambar di dalam kabin Garuda Indonesia dan diduga hal tersebut dapat menurunkan reputasi Garuda Indonesia pasca krisis tersebut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui untuk mengetahui hubungan crisis responsibilit dengan post-crisis reputation maskapai Garuda Indonesia dan untuk mengetahui seberapa besar pengaruh crisis responsibility terhadap post- crisis reputation maskapai Garuda Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan kuesioner sebagai metode pengumpulan data yang disebarkan kepada penumpang Garuda Indonesia yang mengetahui permasalahan Garuda Indonesia mengenai penulisan menu makanan dengan tulisan tangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa crisis responsibility berpengaruh signifikan terhadap post-crisis reputation pada Garuda Indonesia. Hal ini terjadi karena saat sebuah maskapai penerbangan mengalami masalah, sebuah tindakan atau respons dari pihak maskapai tersebut menjadi sangat fundamental bagi citra maskapai itu sendiri setelah kasus tersebut selesai. Public relations memiliki peranan yang sangat penting dalam menyikapi permasalahan. Kesalahan yang dilakukan pihak Garuda Indonesia dengan melarang seluruh pengunjung berfoto di dalam pesawat membuat post- crisis reputation Garuda Indonesia juga menurun.

Combining Virtual Reality Visualization with Ensemble Molecular Dynamics to Study Complex Protein Conformational Changes
Authors: Juárez-Jiménez Jordi , Tew Philip , o'connor Michael , Llabres Salome , Sage Rebecca , Glowacki David , Michel Julien
Published: October 2020

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are increasingly used to elucidate relationships between protein structure, dynamics and their biological function. Currently it is extremely challenging to perform MD simulations of large-scale structural rearrangements in proteins that occur on millisecond timescales or beyond, as this requires very significant computational resources, or the use of cumbersome ‘collective variable’ enhanced sampling protocols. Here we describe a framework that combines ensemble MD simulations and virtual-reality visualization (eMD-VR) to enable users to interactively generate realistic descriptions of large amplitude, millisecond timescale protein conformational changes in proteins. Detailed tests demonstrate that eMD-VR substantially decreases the computational cost of folding simulations of a WW domain, without the need to define collective variables a priori. We further show that eMD-VR generated pathways can be combined with Markov State Models to describe the thermodynamics and kinetics of large-scale loop motions in the enzyme cyclophilin A. Our results suggest eMD-VR is a powerful tool for exploring protein energy landscapes in bioengineering efforts.
Statistical Analysis of C–H Activation by Transition Metal Oxo Species Supports Thermodynamic Control Over Reactivity
Authors: Schneider Joseph , Goetz McKenna , Anderson John
Published: October 2020

Transition metal oxo species are key intermediates for the activation of strong C‒H bonds. As such, there has been interest in understanding which structural or electronic parameters of metal oxo complexes determine their reactivity. Factors such as ground state thermodynamics, spin state, steric environment, oxygen radical character, and asynchronicity have all been cited as key contributors, yet there is no consensus on when each of these parameters is significant or the relative magnitude of their effects. Herein, we present a thorough statistical analysis of parameters that have been proposed to influence transition metal oxo mediated C‒H activation. We used density functional theory (DFT) to compute parameters for transition metal oxo complexes and analyzed their ability to explain and predict an extensive data set of experimentally determined reaction barriers. We found that, in general, only thermodynamic parameters related to the free energy of hydrogen atom, proton, and electron transfer play a statistically significant role.
