Published: August 2019

Purpose
This paper aims to examine the concept of wellness as a form of healthy lifestyle in tourism settings.

Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected through a self-complete questionnaire administered to a sample of guests staying in wellness hotels in Croatia. These data were processed using univariate statistics (general description of the sample), cluster analysis (segmentation purposes), multinomial regression analysis (profiling the clusters) and confirmatory factor analysis (confirmation of wellness-related lifestyle).

Findings
Six wellness-related lifestyle dimensions (diet, fitness, social interactions, cultural diversity, health awareness and personal development) were confirmed, and four segments emerged (high-level wellness, diet- and health-oriented, fitness-oriented and low-level wellness clusters). They differed in their travel motivation.

Originality/value
This paper suggests a wellness-related lifestyle scale that integrates the elements of wellness intervention models and healthy lifestyle, confirms the link between healthy lifestyle and travel motivation and establishes the importance of the social, intellectual and spiritual dimensions of a tourist’s lifestyle.

AbstractIn patients with lepromatous leprosy, Mycobacterium leprae is often observed inside the human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC) surrounding Schwann cells (SC) at the site of lesions in the peripheral nerves. Based on this observation, it is considered that the nasal mucous may be the invasion pathway for M. leprae and HMVEC serve as an important reservoir for the bacteria before they invade SC. In light of previous research which revealed that Mce1A protein mediates bacterial invasion into nasal epithelial cells and HMVEC, we conducted a study to determine whether the invasion of M. leprae into HMVEC can be suppressed by blocking the Mce1A protein. In this study, we analyzed bacterial invasive activity by adding recombinant Escherichia coli, which express the active region (InvX:72 a.a.) of Mce1A protein on their external membrane, into cultured HMVEC, using the adhesin involved in the diffuse adherence mechanism. The number of bacteria that invaded into the cells was then measured by a colony counting method. The active region of Mce1A was divided into four sections, and hyperimmune antisera was prepared for each section for analyzing the inhibitory effect against invasion. The invasive activity was suppressed by antibodies against InvX regions 1–24 a.a., 25–46 a.a. and 58–72 a.a. This suggests that the InvX regions 1–24 a.a., 25–46 a.a. and 58–72 a.a. of Mce1A protein play an important role in the invasion of M. leprae into HMVEC and that it may be possible to suppress entry of M. leprae in HMVEC with antibodies against these regions.

Published: August 2019

AbstractThe association between psoriasis and risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease has not been thoroughly evaluated in a large longitudinal cohort of an Asian population. We conducted a nationwide population‐based retrospective cohort study encompassing more than 1.7 million Koreans with a 15‐year follow‐up period. The period prevalence of psoriasis was 0.33% among the baseline participants (1997–2000). In Cox proportional hazard analyses, the individuals with psoriasis had a higher adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for incidence of overall atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (HR, 1.18; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09–1.27) compared with controls. Subgroup analyses revealed that the risk for myocardial infarction was commonly increased in both sexes with moderate to severe psoriasis (male: HR, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.35–3.24; female: HR, 3.23; 95% CI, 1.34–7.76), whereas the risk for ischemic stroke was specifically increased in female individuals with moderate to severe psoriasis (HR, 2.02; 95% CI, 1.24–3.30). Our data suggest that appropriate medical screening for possible cardiovascular comorbidities is warranted in Asian psoriatic patients according to disease severity and sex.

Published: August 2019

AbstractThe objective of this study was to understanding the allelopathic dynamic of invasive species Eupatorium adenophorum residues against traditional crops viz., Amaranthus caudatus and Vigna unguiculata in laboratory and green house. In laboratory, the effect of different concentrations of the aqueous extract and leaf leachate of decomposed residues (DR) and un‐decomposed residues (UDR) of the selected weed was examined on shoot and root length of the selected crops. In pot study, different concentrations of dose and leachate of DR and UDR of selected weed was evaluated against growth and yield performance of the studied crops. Shoot and root length of both crops was significantly reduced by the aqueous extract of both kinds of residues. Aqueous extract at 8% of UDR residues was noticed to be harmful to V. unguiculata and reduced 66.23% and 75.28% shoot and root length, respectively. Similarly, soil amended with DR and UDR of the weed had a significant effect on growth and yield attributes of the studied crops and reduced 64.90% growth and 86.30% branch/plant of V. unguiculata at 8% concentration compared to control soil. A significant amount of water‐soluble phytotoxins was found in the UDR and DR of E. adenophorum. Leaf leachate of the selected weed was more harmful as compared to aqueous extract and soil amended residues. The UDR was found to be more phytotoxic than DR. These results suggest that the phytotoxic potential of E. adenophorum to plant community could be minimized if the whole plant of invasive weed is decomposed.

Authors: Godefroidt Thibault , Ooms Nand , Pareyt Bram , Brijs Kristof , Delcour Jan A. 
Published: August 2019

AbstractFoam‐type cakes are complex food systems. Their main ingredients are wheat flour, hen eggs, sugar, leavening agent, and, in some cases, oil and/or surfactants. In contrast to the vast amount of research outcomes on the contribution of ingredients to the quality of batter‐type cake systems, information on the functionality and importance of the ingredients and their constituents in foam‐type cake systems is lacking. This review defines foam‐type cakes, describes how they are made, summarizes the current knowledge of factors determining their quality, and identifies the current knowledge gaps.
Finally Free to Green Agriculture Policy? UK post‐Brexit Policy Developments in the Shadow of the CAP and Devolution
Authors: Gravey Viviane 
Published: August 2019

SummarySince the EU referendum, the UK government has pledged to deliver a ‘Green Brexit', with a profound rethink of agricultural policies in line with a ‘public money for public goods' agenda. Will Brexit finally set the UK government free to green its farming policies? To answer this question, this article looks back at the UK's Common Agricultural Policy greening record and at early proposals for future UK policy. It shows that while UK governments have pioneered and pushed for many green instruments in the CAP, their overarching priority remained to limit funding – both EU and national – for agriculture. After Brexit, the UK will be leaving the CAP, yet early policy discussions in the UK show that UK decision‐makers face very similar challenges to their EU counterparts: how should agriculture policy be funded and how should funding be shared between the UK four nations? How much divergence in policy is acceptable without threatening the level playing field? In the UK these challenges are compounded by, first, the devolution settlements, with agriculture and environment in devolved competences while trade is reserved to the UK government; and second, the uncertainties surrounding the future trading relationships among the UK, the EU and the wider world.

Published: August 2019

AbstractMetal oxide coated multilayered polymeric pouches provide a suitable alternative to foil‐based packaging for shelf‐stable products with extended shelf‐life. The barrier performance of these films depends upon the integrity of the metal oxide coating which can develop defects as a result of thermal processing and improper handling. In this work, we developed a methodology to visually identify these defects using an oxygen‐sensitive model gel system. Four pouches with different metal oxide coatings: MOA (Coated PET), MOB (SiOx‐coated PET), MOC (Overlayer‐AlOx‐Organic‐coated PET), MOD (Overlayer‐SiOx‐coated PET) were filled with water and retort‐processed for 30 and 40 min at 121 °C. After processing, the pouches were cut open, dried and subsequently filled with a gel containing methylene blue that changes color in the presence of oxygen. The pouches were then stored at 23 and 40 °C for 180 and 90 days, respectively. Defects were identified by observing the localized color change from yellow to blue in the packaged gel. These observations were confirmed through measurement of oxygen and water vapor transmission rates, as well as SEM and CLSM analyses. The MOC pouches showed the least change in barrier properties after thermal processing. This was due to crosslinking in the organic coating and protection provided by the overlayer. The melting enthalpy of all films increased significantly (P < 0.05) after sterilization. This may increase the brittleness of the substrates after processing. Findings may be used to improve the barrier performance of metal oxide coated polymeric films intended for food packaging applications.Practical ApplicationIn this study, we developed a methylene blue‐based, oxygen‐sensitive model gel system to identify defects in metal oxide coated polymeric structures induced by thermal processing and mechanical stresses. We also performed a comprehensive analysis of these defects through CLSM and SEM. The gel system and methodology developed may be useful in the design and development of high barrier metal oxide coated films.
Physical Properties of Monoglycerides Oleogels Modified by Concentration, Cooling Rate, and High‐Intensity Ultrasound
Authors: Giacomozzi Anabella S. , Palla Camila A. , Carrín María E. , Martini Silvana 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of monoglycerides (MG) concentration (3, 4.5, and 6 wt%), cooling rate (0.1 and 10 °C/min), and high‐intensity ultrasound (HIU) application on physical properties of oleogels from MG and high oleic sunflower oil. Microstructure, melting profile, elasticity (G′), and solid fat content (SFC) were measured immediately after preparation of samples (t = 0) and after 24 hr of storage at 25 °C. Samples’ textural properties (hardness, adhesiveness, and cohesiveness) and oil binding capacity (OBC) were evaluated after 24 hr at 25 °C. In general, samples became less elastic over time. Slow cooling rate resulted in lower G′ after 24 hr compared to the ones obtained using 10 °C/min. Network OBC was improved by increasing MG concentration and cooling rate, and by applying HIU. After storage, oleogel melting enthalpy increased with MG concentration. In general, this behavior was not correlated with an increase in SFC. An improvement in the network structure was generally reached with the increase in cooling rate, according to texture and rheology results, for both sonicated and nonsonicated conditions. At the highest MG concentration, HIU application was more efficient at increasing OBC and hardness of the network at 0.1 °C/min. Microscopy images showed that the oleogels microstructure was changed as a consequence of HIU application and cooling rate, evidencing smaller crystals both in sonicated and faster cooled samples. Obtained results demonstrate that cooling rate, MG concentration, and HIU can be used satisfactorily to tailor physical properties of MG oleogels.Practical ApplicationOleogels have been studied in the last years as semisolid fat replacers in food products. Cooling rate is an important processing parameter in the oleogel preparation because it affects their final physical properties, while high‐intensity ultrasound (HIU) is a relatively novel technique to tailor lipid properties. This study is focused on the application of a slow/fast cooling rate in combination with/without HIU treatment at different monoglycerides and high oleic sunflower oil mixtures as a successful strategy to obtain oleogels with different physical properties and with potential applications in the food industry, such as fat substitutes in bakery.

Published: August 2019

ObjectiveThe effects of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) have been controversial. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of LMWH on prognosis of SAP by systematic review and meta‐analysis.MethodsWe searched relevant studies published up to March 2019 in five databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials in Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and the Chinese Journal of Science and Technology of VIP database).ResultsSixteen randomized controlled trials with 1625 patients were included in the final analysis. Most studies were from China. In analysis of laboratory parameters and clinical scores, SAP patients receiving LMWH treatment had lower white blood cell counts, C‐reactive protein level, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, and computed tomography severity index. In clinical outcomes, SAP patients who received LMWH treatment had shorter hospital stay (pooled mean difference [95% confidence interval; CI] −8.79 [−11.18, −6.40], P < .01), lower mortality (pooled risk ratio [RR] [95% CI] 0.33 [0.24‐0.44], P < .01), lower incidences of multiple organ failure (pooled RR [95% CI] 0.34 [0.23‐0.52], P < .01), pancreatic pseudocyst (pooled RR [95% CI] 0.49 [0.27‐0.90], P = .02), and operation rate (pooled RR [95% CI] 0.39 [0.31‐0.50], P < .01).ConclusionsLMWH could improve the prognosis of SAP, and has a potential role in reducing hospital stay, mortality, incidences of multiple organ failure, pancreatic pseudocyst, and operation rate.
Histological assessment of human regenerative endodontic procedures (REP) of immature permanent teeth with necrotic pulp/apical periodontitis: A systematic review
Authors: Digka Anna , Sakka Dimitra , Lyroudia Kleoniki 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThe aim of this study was to systematically review the histological evidence of the neo‐formed tissues inside the root canals of human teeth having previously received regenerative endodontic treatment. An electronic research was performed in the MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases using controlled vocabulary. The retrieved studies were screened by two reviewers according to the predetermined inclusion and extrusion criteria and were full‐text‐evaluated. Research resulted in 160 studies. Among them, twelve fitted the inclusion criteria and were critically appraised. The tissues formed in the root canals of immature human teeth treated with REP indicate repair or a combination of repair and regeneration. Pulp remnants and healthy periapical tissues seem to improve regeneration. The level of available evidence was low. Further clinical studies are needed in order to establish the appropriate treatment protocol related to the pretreatment status of the dental pulp and the periapical tissues.

Published: August 2019

AbstractFunctional E‐cadherin loss, a hallmark of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT), is important for metastasis. However, the mechanism of Snail2 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) EMT and metastasis remains unclear. Here, we showed that Snail2 was upregulated in primary HCC, and significantly increased during transforming growth factor‐β‐induced liver cell EMT. Snail2‐overexpressing and knockdown cell lines have been established to determine its function in EMT in HCC. H3K9 methylation was upregulated and H3K4 and H3K56 acetylation were downregulated at the E‐cadherin promoter in Snail2‐overexpressing cancer cells. Furthermore, Snail2 interacted with G9a and histone deacetylases (HDACs) to form a complex to suppress E‐cadherin transcription. Snail2 overexpression enhanced migration and invasion in HCC cells, whereas G9a and HDAC inhibition significantly reversed this effect. Moreover, Snail2 overexpression in cancer cells increased tumor metastasis and shortened survival time in mice, whereas G9a and HDAC inhibitors extended survival. Our study not only reveals a critical mechanism underlying the epigenetic regulation of EMT but also suggests novel treatment strategies for HCC.
A meta‐analysis of recreation effects on vertebrate species richness and abundance

Published: August 2019

AbstractMost protected areas globally have a dual mission to conserve natural resources and provide access for outdoor recreation or ecotourism, yet questions remain about the ecological effects of recreation. We conducted a global meta‐analysis of the effects of recreation on vertebrate richness and abundance. We estimated that vertebrate richness (n = 15 articles) and abundance (n = 32) are lower in association with higher levels of recreation in over two‐thirds (70%) of cases. We observed a moderate negative group‐level effect of recreation on bird and mammal abundance, but the group‐level effect on fish and reptiles was not significant. Effects were stronger for carnivores and herbivores than for omnivores, and stronger for small‐bodied birds and ground‐nesting birds than larger and tree‐ and shrub‐nesting birds. Terrestrial activities were associated with reduced vertebrate abundance, whereas aquatic activities were not. Both motorized and nonmotorized activities were associated with reduced vertebrate abundance, but the effect for motorized activities was uncertain due to small sample size. These results pose a challenge to natural resource management agencies who must balance recreation access with natural resource protection, and to conservation organizations that rely on outdoor recreation for public support and funding. We recommend that managers plan recreational access at a regional scale and include some areas that are closed to recreation to minimize trade‐offs between recreation and animal conservation.
