Introduction: Physicians find it difficult to announce the diagnosis of Covid-19 and often resort to the advice of a psychiatrist. This is due to the fear of the patients reaction and the negative psychological impact that the announcement would cause, the poorly known evolution of this pathology and to the lack of training regarding Covid-19 diagnosis announcement practices. The purpose of our study is trying to better understand the current practice and the difficulties encountered during the Covid-19 diagnosis announcement as well as evaluating the patients general reactions. Material and Methods: Quantitative, descriptive and analytical, cross-sectional study based on an online questionnaire. Results: 114 physicians filled in our questionnaire. More than half of them had not received any training regarding Covid-19 dignosis announcement. 94.7% of the physicians believe that it is necessary to announce the diagnosis of Covid-19, most of them considering it as an asset in their disease management. The reluctance to announce a disease with a severe prognosis, along with the fear of negative social and therapeutic repercussions, would slow down clinicians in their practice. Although most clinicians provide a variety of information (clinical, therapeutic, prognostic, target symptoms, and treatment side effects), the majority of participants were satisfied with the information they provide to Covid+ patients. Conclusion: A framework for the diagnostic process, training dedicated to the announcement and the use of material aids should be considered in order to limit these difficulties and to support physicians in their practice. In this respect, primary care physicians are almost unanimous in their desire for specific training.

STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP: STUDY OF LEI-401 AS INHIBITOR OF NAPE-PLD BY PHARMACOPHORE MODEL
Authors:   Department of Chemistry, Bharatiya Mahavidyalaya, Amravati, Maharashtra, India., S. Kadu Nilesh
Published: June 2021

N-acyl-phosphatidylethanolamine phospholipase D (NAPE–PLD) is considered to be the principal enzyme that produces N-acylethanolamines (NAEs), a family of signaling lipids. NAEs are involved in numerous physiological processes such as appetite, satiety, pain, inflammation, fertility, stress, and anxiety. Furthermore, aberrant NAE levels are associated with metabolic syndrome and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Several inhibitors for NAPE–PLD have been reported. But most of the inhibitors showed poor to moderate potency for NAPE–PLD in vitro. Recently, Mario van der Stelt et al describe the SAR of NAPE–PLD inhibitors that afforded LEI–401 in vitro. However, no attempt was instigated to produce a consensus pharmacophore model of LEI–401 as inhibitors of NAPE–PLD. Pharmacophore modeling is an efficient and useful approach to identify important patterns in a series of molecules for optimizations. The consensus pharmacophore model revealed the importance of structural features and their correlation with the biological activity.

Authors: Moiseeva Natalia , Chekryga Galina , Motovilov Oleg , Golub Olga
Published: June 2021

Introduction. Fluorescence is one of the most promising methods of food quality tests. Fluorescein disodium salt is used as a means of diagnostics in medicine and food production. In particular, fluorophore can determine the ripening stage of boneless turkey meat during brining by defining the penetration depth of the brine.

Study objects and methods. The present research featured samples of brined turkey breast and thigh meat. The experiment was based on standard research methods, e.g. macro- and microscopy, statistical method, etc. It also included an original fluorescence method for determining the penetration depth of sodium chloride brine into turkey muscles.

Results and discussion. The experimental brine consisted of food salt, white sugar, water, and fluorescein disodium salt, while brine without fluorophore served as control. Regardless of sodium chloride concentration, the changes in the ripening depth of the turkey breast samples were 8 times lower after 5 min, 3 times – after 12 h, and 4 times after 24 h. Complete ripening occurred after 36 h, which was confirmed by visual and fluorophore measurements. The thigh meat samples showed a smaller area of sodium chloride penetration: 8 times lower – after 5 min, 2 times – after 12 and 24 h. Complete salting was also registered after 36 h of brining.

Conclusion. The fluorescence method proved quite effective in determining the ripening of boneless turkey parts meat.

It involved standard methods of quality control of raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products of beer and alcohol industry, as well as the capillary electrophoresis, spectrophotometry, and potentiometry.

Results and discussion. Germination of soybeans of all varieties contributed to the accumulation of hydrolytic enzymes and amino acids in the grain. The use of a complex of organic acids from the Krebs cycle at a concentration of 10–9 mol/dm3 at the soaking stage increased amylolytic, proteolytic, and lipoxygenase hydrolytic processes by 11, 22, and 12%, respectively. The level of urease, which correlates with the content of anti-nutritional substances, decreased by two times from the original level and was 0.4–0.5 units of pH. Germination stage fell down to 2.5–3 days, while the content of amino acids increased by 33–35% in comparison with unprocessed malt during soaking.

Conclusion. The use of organic acids in soy malting improved the quality and technological indicators, increased the level of amino acids, and decreased the level of anti-nutritional substances, making soy malt suitable for beverage industry.

Introduction. Various formulations of sprouted grain breads, including those with amaranth flour, were developed to combat food-related diseases. Healthy food industry requires thorough assessment procedures and hygienic practices. The research objective was to assess the functional properties and safety indicators of amaranth bread made from sprouted wheat grain.

Study objects and methods. One day old grain bread was tested for antioxidant activity using amperometric method. Its glycemic index was determined according to the ratio of the area under the glycemic curve per bread sample to the area under the glycemic curve for pure glucose, expressed as a percentage. Crumb proteins digestibility was measured in vivo using ciliates Paramecium caudatum. Phytin content was measured by the colorimetric method, while safety indicators were compared to the Technical Regulations of the Customs Union No. 021/2011. Bound moisture content was determined with a refractometer after three days of storage according to the change in sucrose concentration. The number of mesophilic aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms (NMAFAnM) was described based on State Standard 10444.15-94.

Results and discussion. The amaranth flour slightly affected the antioxidant activity of the grain bread. It decreased the glycemic index by 8.3% and increased the microbiological purity by 1.4 times, raised the crumb proteins digestibility by 3.0%, reduced the phytin content by 7.0%, and slowed down the staleness process by 12 h. In terms of safety indicators, the obtained sample of amaranth grain bread met the TR CU 021/2011 requirements “On food safety”. The decrease in the glycemic index values could be explained by the lower activity of amylolytic enzymes in amaranth flour compared to sprouted wheat. The low digestibility of carbohydrates resulted from their effect on starch. The increase in digestibility and the decrease in phytin content were caused by the lower amount of dietary fiber. The high content of bound moisture explains the longer shelf life. Amaranth flour had lower microbiological contamination compared to wheat, which decreased the NMAFAnM.

Conclusion. Amaranth flour had a positive effect on the functional properties of grain bread safety indicators, which makes it possible to include it into sprouted wheat grain products.

This article explores currency regulation in the EAEU countries for the harmonization of currency policies in the context of economic integration. The object of the study is currency regulation in countries of Eurasian integration. The main hypothesis is that EAEU member countries are not ready for currency integration, due to the presence of many macroeconomic distortions in their economies. The authors assess the possibility of creating a monetary union by analyzing and evaluating key criteria for currency integration as known in the scholarly literature. For this goal, the authors conducted a literature review of the key prerequisites for currency integration, including the experience in the countries of the Eurozone. Then the authors analyze currency regulation in EAEU countries for meeting key criteria for currency integration. At this stage, the authors evaluate key factors of currency integration by EAEU member countries. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study was classic and modern approaches in the field of monetary and currency regulation—in particular, the research of modern analysts of the International Monetary Fund, the largest Central Banks of the world, and well-known experts of the field. The research results showed the inexpediency of creating a currency union within the Euroasian economic space at this stage.

Tuberculosis (TB), induced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), is a fatal infectious disease
that kills millions of lives worldwide. The emergence of drug-resistant and multidrug-resistant
cases is regarded as one of the most challenging threats to TB control due to the low cure rate. Therefore,
TB and drug-resistant TB epidemic urge us to explore more effective therapies. The increasing
knowledge of nanotechnology has extended the use of some nanomedicines for disease treatment in
clinics, which also provide novel possibilities for nano-based medicines for TB treatment. Zinc oxide
nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) have gained increasing attention for anti-bacterial uses based on their strong
ability to induce reactive oxidative species (ROS) and release bactericidal Zinc ions (Zn2+), which are
expected to act as novel strategies for TB and drug-resistant TB treatment. Some plant extracts, always
from active herbal medicines, have been widely reported to show attractive anti-bacterial activity for
infectious treatment, including TB. Here, we summarize the synthesis of ZnO NPs using plant extracts
(green synthesized ZnO NPs), and further discuss their potentials for anti-TB treatments. This is the
first review article discussing the anti-TB activity of ZnO NPs produced using plant extracts, which
might contribute to the further applications of green synthesized ZnO NPs for anti-TB and drugresistant
TB treatment.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs, formerly known as exosomes) are small, extracellular membrane-bound
particles that play a role in cellular communication via transporting different cargos, including proteins, DNAs,
RNAs, etc. Their role has been shown in different endocrine/paracrine signaling in different organs, such as the
cardiovascular system. Currently, mortality and morbidity rates caused by cardiovascular disease (CVD) have
become an important issue among healthcare systems all over the world. EVs great potentials for clinical diagnosis
and treatment offer a bright future in assessing different types of CVDs. In this review, we have summarized
the variable roles of these nano-sized biological membrane-enclosed vesicles in myocardial injury, repair,
and regeneration. We have also reviewed the value of EVs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in cardiology
medicine and emphasized the promising capabilities of EVs as natural drug-delivery vehicles as a novel
targeting treatment.
ALK7 Inhibition Protects Osteoblast Cells Against High Glucoseinduced
ROS Production via Nrf2/HO-1 Signaling Pathway
Authors: Zhao Zhen , Lu Yu , Wang Huan , Gu Xiang , Zhu Luting , Guo Hong , Li Nan
Published: June 2021

Background:

Some studies demonstrated that under high-glucose (HG)
condition, osteoblasts develop oxidative stress, which will impair their normal functions.
The effects of activin receptor-like kinase 7 (ALK7) silencing on HG-induced osteoblasts
remained unclear.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to explore the effect of ALK7 on HG-induced
osteoblasts.

Methods:

MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with different concentrations of HG (0, 50, 100,
200 and 300mg/dL), and the cell viability was detected using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8).
HG-treated MC3T3-E1 cells were transfected with siALK7 or ALK7 overexpression
plasmid or siNrf2, and then the viability and apoptosis were detected by CCK-8 and flow
cytometry. The levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), collagen I and calcification
nodule were determined by oxidative stress kits, Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
and Alizarin red staining. The expressions of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), heme
oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and osteoblast-associated genes were determined by quantitative
real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western blot.

Results:

Cell viability was reduced with HG treatment. Silencing ALK7 inhibited the
effect of HG on increasing cell apoptosis and ROS production, reduced cell viability,
mineralized nodules, and downregulated collagen I and osteoblast-associated genes
expression in MC3T3-E1 cells. ALK7 silencing activated the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling
pathway by affecting expressions of HO-1 and Nrf2. ALK7 overexpression had the
opposite effects. In addition, siNrf2 partially reversed the effects of ALK7 silencing on
HG-induced MC3T3-E1 cells.

Conclusion:

ALK7 silencing protected osteoblasts under HG condition possibly through
activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Published: June 2021

Introduction:

Metformin, an anti-diabetic drug, has low bioavailability and short biological
half-life. Thus, bioavailability enhancement and prolonged release of the drug are highly desirable.
In this regard, we aimed to developed gastroretentive nanoparticles made of jackfruit seed
starch (JFSS) loaded with metformin.

Methods:

Developed nanoparticles were optimized for various process variables and were further
characterized. Nanoparticles exhibited good results with respect to particle size (244.3 to 612.4
nm), particle size distribution, shape and drug entrapment efficiency (75.8 to 89.2%) with sustained
drug release for 24 h and a high buoyancy (89% for F7; formulation made of highest concentration
of Jackfruit seed starch prepared at 1000 RPM stirring speed).

Results:

The hypoglycemic potential of these nanoparticles was tested in nicotinamide streptozocin
induced diabetic model, there was a significant reduction in blood glucose level (50% reduction
from 4-8 h; p < 0.01) for prolonged period of time (up to 24 h) in comparison to diabetic control
and plain metformin solution.

Conclusion:

The outcome of the study suggested that developed formulations are suitable for gastro-
retentive delivery of Metformin in a controlled manner appropriate for a single administration
per day.
