Published: October 2019

Background Despite having a lot of information about the physicochemical and antioxidant properties of honeys from different geographical regions, there is only limited information about the changes in these characteristics during long-term storage of honey. Hence, this study was conducted to evaluate these changes in five different types of honey, including alfalfa, milkvetch, lotus, thyme, and multifloral honeys, during one year of storage at room temperature.MethodsSamples were analyzed for pH, free acidity, Ash, moisture, electrical conductivity, hydroxymethylfurfural, color, total phenolic content, DPPH radical-scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power.ResultsChanges were more or less observed in all the physicochemical characteristics of honeys during the storage period. However, these changes did not exceed the maximum acceptable limits and after one-year of storage, the physicochemical properties of all types of honeys were within the standard limits except for HMF content in multifloral honey (43.89 mg/kg). Regarding the antioxidant capacity of honeys, our results showed 38.92-73.3 % decrease in DPPH radical scavenging activities and 43.29-67.0 % decrease in FRAP values of different types of honeys during the storage period.ConclusionFrom the nutritional point of view, decrease in the antioxidant capacity of honeys is of particular importance. Therefore, these levels of reduction in antioxidant capacity could certainly affect the nutritional and health benefits of honey.

INTRODUCTION: Considering that a gluten-free diet (GFD) should be followed for life, investigating its effect on health is very important. In the present study, we systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed the studies that evaluated the changes in body mass index (BMI) and lipid profile during a gluten-free diet (GFD) in celiac patients. METHOD: The databases of Pubmed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were searched until June 2018 to select studies investigate the changes in BMI and lipid profile in celiac patients. The standard mean difference (SMD) was calculated. For the heterogeneity analysis, the I-square statistic test was used. RESULTS: Twenty-one articles were included in our systematic review and 16 studies were selected for meta-analysis. The results of meta-analysis showed the statistically significant increase in BMI [SMD: 0.26; 95% CI: 0.17, 0.35 p: <0.001] and HDL-C (HDL-C) [SMD: 0.36; 95% CI: 0.009, 0.18, p = 0.001] during GFD. However, the effect of GFD on total cholesterol [SMD: 0.17; 95% CI:–0.66, 0.41, p = 0.16], LDL-C [SMD: –0.21; 95% CI:–0.54, 0.10, p = 0.16], and triglyceride [SMD: 0.02; 95% CI:–0.22, 0.25, p = 0.87] was not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The results of the present meta-analysis showed the positive effect of GFD on BMI and HDL-C. However, more cohort studies in this topic are needed with considering the level of mucosal healing and the effect of confounding factors such as physical activity level, smoking and dietary intakes on the association between GFD diet and cardiovascular risk factors.

Summary. Aim: To compare the frequency of main histopathological characteristics, 131І thyroid radiation doses, invasive properties and post-operative follow-up of patients of different age groups with potentially radiogenic papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with the presence and absence of oncocytic changes in tumor cells. Materials and Methods: PTC removed in 483 patients from high risk age-group for radiogenic thyroid cancer development (children and adolescents at the time of Chornobyl accident who lived in the northern regions of Ukraine: Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Chernihiv regions) have been studied microscopically. Results: The frequency of PTC with the presence of oncocytic changes (OCh) in tumor cells increased significantly with increasing of patients’ age at the time of surgery: from 8.3% in children 4–14 years old to 54.3% in adults 39–48 years old (ptrend < 0.0001). The presence of such changes is associated with papillary and solid-trabecular dominant tumor growth pattern in more than 90% of cases in each age group. The mean 131І thyroid dose in the whole series of PTC patients with OCh was significantly lower compared to the same index in PTC patients without OCh (493.7 mGy and 765.8 mGy, respectively, p < 0.0001). In addition, regional metastases recurrences were revealed more frequently in patients with OCh in primary PTC compared with patients without OCh in primary tumor (7.2% vs 1.5%, p = 0.0022). Conclusions: Significantly increasing age-trend of OCh in PTC of patients affected by the Chornobyl fallout and operated at age from 4 to 48 years, as well as opposite decreasing linear age-trend of 131І thyroid dose may reflect a gradual increase of sporadic PTCs frequency in the potentially radiogenic series with time elapsed since accident. The frequency of oncocytic insensitive to radioiodine therapy of lymph node metastases recurrences also increased with patients age and OCh availability in primary PTC.

Summary. The potential of one of the adsorption methods, enterosorption (ES), using the new generation of carbon adsorbents to correct the negative manifestations of tumor-host interaction in the framework of paraneoplastic syndrome (PNS) as well as systemic toxicity of chemo- and radiation therapy, is discussed. The ES influence on the development of PNS was demonstrated in C57/BL6 mice with transplanted Lewis lung carcinoma. Two-week administration of carbon enterosorbents resulted in a significant suppression of metastasis and correction of tumor-related anemia, activation of granulocytic line in the bone marrow with nearly 3-fold enhancement of its mitotic activity. ES exerted a positive influence on the structural-morphologic indexes and regenerative potential of kidneys and liver, mitigated manifestations of oxidative stress, decreased the level of endogenous intoxication, increased resistance of erythrocyte membranes and decreased ligand loading of blood plasma transport proteins. The effect of ES on anticancer activity and toxic reactions of cisplatin (CP) was evaluated in Guerin carcinoma-bearing rats. ES reduced significantly creatinine and other kidney biochemical indexes elevated in the blood plasma of rats after CP treatment. ES attenuated dystrophic changes in the histological structure of internal organs (kidney, liver, spleen), caused by tumor growth and significantly aggravated under the influence of CP. Such changes were specially traced in the kidneys and well reflect the nephroprotective potential of ES. In rats irradiated with X-ray in sublethal dose, highly activated granulated carbonic enterosorbents facilitated the restoration of white blood cells and lymphocyte count. The results obtained confirm the insights of academician R.E. Kavetsky predicting the future of adsorptive detoxification with activated carbons in the treatment of cancer patients.

International Mobility, Erotic Plasticity and Eastern European Migrations.
Authors: Cvajner Martina 
Published: October 2019

When individuals cross a border and settle in a new social environment, they become migrants. People come here to work, improve the family conditions, restore a lost status. They work, send remittances, strive to adjust their legal status, learn how to cope with a new way of living. But they also make new friends, new lovers, reunite families. They also encounter new sexual cultures, new erotic narratives and norms. Migration is consequently a good test for contemporary theories of erotic plasticity. Are adult migrants, that have acquired and practised for decades a given erotic habitus, able to change it in depth during emigration? And which are, if any, the dimensions of these change? Eastern European women pioneers in Italy – women who have migrated alone, outside of any recruitment program, to areas with no previous history of immigration from their lands – provide a fascinating case of sexual change.

The experiment was conducted in the field laboratory of the Department of Entomology, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh on the screening of resistant variety against jute apion, Apion corchori (Marshall) and its management by using some chemical and botanical pesticides during April to August 2014. Eleven jute varieties were selected to conduct varietal preference and tested against jute apion in field condition. Among the eleven varieties, O-9897 showed the higher leaf infestation than others showing statistically similar result with O-72 and O-795. Mean percent of leaf infestation was 55.64 in O-9897 while 28.07 in BJRI Deshi pat-5, 24.89 in CVL-1, 22.11 in BJRI Deshi pat-7, 29.64 in CC-45, 24.08 in BJRI Deshi pat-8, 27.99 in D-154, 51.42 in O-795, 26.37 in BJRI Deshi pat-6, 55.53 in O-72 and 39.45 in CVE-3. The lowest leaf infestation was found in BJRI Deshi pat-7 (22.11%) which was statistically similar to BJRI Deshi pat-8 (24.08%). The same trend of results was observed in case of the number of knot plant-1 and the highest knot was recorded in O-795 followed by O-72. Data revealed that the variety O-9897 was highly susceptible to jute apion followed by O-72 and O-795 whereas BJRI Deshi pat -7 had the resistant potentiality against jute apion followed by BJRI Deshi pat-8 and CVL-1. The overall preference rank of the varieties based on their resistance against jute apion was in the following order: BJRI Deshi pat-7>BJRI Deshi pat-8>CVL-1 > BJRI Deshi pat-6> D-154>BJRI Deshi pat-5> CC-45>CVE-3>O-795>O-72>O-9897. In the management study, two synthetic insecticides viz., Limper 10EC, Diginol 60EC and two botanicals viz., Neem oil and Mahogany oil were evaluated. Considering different parameters, comparatively less leaf infestation percent, number of hole leaf-1 and number of knot plant-1 was found with Diginol 60EC treated plot followed by Limper 10EC treated plot. The highest infestation was found in the control plot followed by Mahogany oil applied plot. The rank of the efficacy of the treatments was Diginol>Limper>Neem oil>Mahogany oil>control. It could be concluded that BJRI Deshi pat-7, BJRI Deshi pat-8 and CVL-1 was comparatively more resistant variety considering both leaf damage and number of knot plant-1 and local variety O-9897 followed by O-72 and O-795 was highly susceptible to Jute apion. This finding would be helpful to motivate the people to use botanical insecticides i.e., Neem oil for the management of jute apion in environmentally safe condition.

Temporal Changes of Physical Parameters of Solid Waste During Barrel Composting
Authors: Hoque MMM , Islam S 
Published: October 2019

In this study solid waste were collected from 09 waste generating points of Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University during the study for composting. Volume reduction rate of solid waste was quick throughout 5-20 days and became slower during 25-35 days and finally became constant for last 10 days of observation, which indicated that quantity of nutrient materials for the bacterial growth became depleted and consequently the rate of decomposition of organic waste maybe slower at the last 10 days of observation. During the initial days, the increased temperature in the composting barrel was mainly caused by the more exothermic reactions associated with the respiratory metabolism of the microorganism involved in the composting of wastes. Volume reduction of organic wastes and the moisture contents shows similar trend. This result indicates that bacterial activities decrease with the reduction of moisture content of the wastes in the composting barrel.

Authors: Mamun SA , Arif RH , Parveen Z , Aktar M , Islam MS 
Published: October 2019

Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal which is not essential for human body. Cadmium enters into human body mainly through food consumption. Besides industrial wastes, phosphate fertilizers contain Cd which accumulates gradually in agricultural lands. To produce high quantity of food for about 160 million people of Bangladesh, agricultural lands need to be applied huge amount of fertilizes including TSP which add Cd to soils. It has been reported that in rice grains the cadmium concentrations were the highest in Bangladesh and Srilanka where the per capita rice intake is high, from a survey on four continents of 12 countries. The intake of these Cd containing foods may ultimately increase the Cd concentration in human kidneys and livers which might be related to the enhanced kidney patients in Bangladesh. There is lot of toxic effects of excess Cd on humans. The present review illustrates the urgency of further studies of Cd in Bangladesh.
