Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: Diet rich in natural products could influence the risk of brain function and studies suggest that consumption of Mediterranean diet reduces the prevalence of brain-related disorders. Accumulated evidence suggests that naturally occurring antioxidants found in fruits, vegetables, etc may potentially hinder neuro-degeneration, and improve behavior. Considering the limits of existing preventive methods, intervention strategies using antioxidants rich natural products such as fruits, vegetables and nuts are of paramount importance. Usage of neuroprotective antioxidants is being considered as a promising approach to delay the progression of disease and have the ability to reduce the functional neuronal loss in acute and chronic neurodegeneration of the brain. Diet rich in phytochemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids, etc are known to possess protective activity against brain diseases. Molecular mechanisms behind the curative effects rely mainly on the action of phytonutrients on distinct signaling pathways associated with protein folding/neuro-inflammation. The diverse array of bioactive nutrients present in these natural products plays a pivotal role in prevention and cure of various neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and other neuronal dysfunctions. Importance of natural products rich healthy diet on cognition, behavior and other biochemical abnormalities in neurodegenerative disease conditions with evidence will be discussed.

description: Increased consumption of refined carbohydrates, sugars, and saturated fats is accompanied by low intake of fruits and vegetables; this dietary pattern is involved in the etiology of different types of cancers, the global cause of morbidity and mortality in the Western countries and gulf region. Colorectal cancer, CRC, is among the primary preventive cancers if adequate intake of antioxidants was provided either by diet, and nutritional supplements. Our research group at Sultan Qaboos University has successfully identified phytonutrients- rich dietary bioactive agents (Date Pit Pomegranate Peel, Mushroom Extract, and Nabag Extract) which provide antioxidant protective effect against oxidative stress-induced CRC, using in-vivo experimental study models. Our results have shown a net subjective improvement in the CRC pathogenesis as evident by a marked decrease in tumor growth, increase in intra cellular glutathione level, and antioxidant enzymes-improved activities. It was concluded that the high intake of plant-based foods might be adopted as a dietary-based intervention approach for the primary prevention of oxidative-stress mediated cancers, including CRC. The mechanism was thought to be by abrogating oxidative stress in carcinogenic cells.

description: This work investigates the use of smooth neural networks for modeling dynamic variations of implicit surfaces under the level set equation (LSE). For this, it extends the representation of neural implicit surfaces to the space-time $\mathbb{R}^3\times \mathbb{R}$, which opens up mechanisms for continuous geometric transformations. Examples include evolving an initial surface towards general vector fields, smoothing and sharpening using the mean curvature equation, and interpolations of initial conditions.
 The network training considers two constraints. A data term is responsible for fitting the initial condition to the corresponding time instant, usually $\mathbb{R}^3 \times \{0\}$. Then, a LSE term forces the network to approximate the underlying geometric evolution given by the LSE, without any supervision. The network can also be initialized based on previously trained initial conditions, resulting in faster convergence compared to the standard approach.
Bioaccessibil Polyphenols Recovery and Antioxidant Activity of Stirred Fortified Date Yoghurt during In Vitro Digestion

description: The purpose of this study was to produce functional yoghurt and investigate the in vitro bioaccessibility of polyphenols and antioxidant activity after simulated gastro-intestinal digestion. Fortified stirred yoghurt was produced with the addition of different concentration of date palm products (powder pulp and filtered powder pulp), and stored up to 10 days at 4±1oC.  Chemical characteristics, rheological properties and sensory quality of stirred yoghurt samples were determined. All results were compared to control plain stirred yoghurt.

Significant different of chemical composition and rheological properties have been observed among different treatments and respect to control treatment.

Highly accepted treatments were then selected to simulate Gastro-pancreatic digestion and determine the total and individual phenolic compounds, as well as the antioxidant activity of functional yoghurt.

Generally, the increasing of date concentration led to increase the polyphenols content and antioxidant activity as a consequent.

Comparing to the polyphenols content of raw powder of date, the phenolic content in yoghurt was significantly lower as a result of binding activity between casein and polyphenols.

After the in vitro digestion, there have been significant increases in polyphenols content and antioxidant activity as a result of releasing the phenolic compound from casein-phenol complex

description: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder characterized by impaired social interactions, verbal - non-verbal communication, and repetitive stereotyped patterns of behaviours. Association of the fatty acid amide signaling molecule palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) with the flavonoid luteolin displays neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory actions in different models of central nervous system pathologies. We thus hypothesized that the association of PEA with luteolin might have therapeutic utility in ASD.

We investigated both the effect of an association of ultra-micronized PEA with luteolin, namely co-ultramicronized PEA-LUT®, in a well-recognized autism animal model, namely sodium valproate administration, that the effect of co-ultramicronized PEA-LUT® in a patient affected by ASD. Co-ultramicronized PEA-LUT® ameliorated social and non-social behaviors in valproic acid-induced autistic mice. Co-ultramicronized PEA-LUT® reduced the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein and nitrotyrosine, modulated apoptosis in hippocampus and cerebellum, and increased neurogenesis and neuroplasticity in the hippocampus of autistic mice.

In a 10-year-old male child treated with co-ultramicronized PEA-LUT® twice a day for 12 months an improved clinical picture was noted. These data suggest that ASD symptomatology may be improved by agents documented to control the activation of mast cells and microglia.

description: Growing evidence is demonstrating the connection between the microbiota gut-brain axis and neurodevelopment. Microbiota colonization occurs before the maturation of many neural systems and is linked to brain health. Because of this it has been hypothesized that the early microbiome interactions along the gut-brain axis evolved to promote advanced cognitive functions and behaviors. Here, we performed a pilot study with a multidisciplinary approach to test if the microbiota composition of infants is associated with measures of early cognitive development, in particular neural rhythm tracking; language (forward speech) versus non-language (backwards speech) discrimination; and social joint attention. Fecal samples were collected from 56 infants between four and six months of age and sequenced by shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Of these, 44 performed the behavioral Point and Gaze test to measure joint attention. Infants were tested on either language discrimination using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS; 25 infants had usable data) or neural rhythm tracking using electroencephalogram (EEG; 15 had usable data). Infants who succeeded at the Point and Gaze test tended to have increased Actinobacteria and reduced Firmicutes at the phylum level; and an increase in Bifidobacterium and Eggerthella along with a reduction in Hungatella and Streptococcus at the genus level. Measurements of neural rhythm tracking associated negatively to the abundance of Bifidobacterium and positively to the abundance of Clostridium and Enterococcus for the bacterial abundances, and associated positively to metabolic pathways that can influence neurodevelopment, including branched chain amino acid biosynthesis and pentose phosphate pathways. No associations were found for the fNIRS language discrimination measurements. Although the tests were underpowered due to the small pilot sample sizes, potential associations were identified between the microbiome and measurements of early cognitive development that are worth exploring further.

description: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major health problem worldwide. Currently, there is no effective treatment to improve neural structural repair and functional recovery. Recently, has been demonstrated that hippocampal injury-induced neurogenesis is one mechanism underlying endogenous repair following TBI. The aim of this study was to evaluate the neuro-regenerative properties co-ultra PEALut (constituted by the association of palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), with the flavonoid luteolin (Lut)) in a mouse model of TBI until 7 days. TBI was induced in mice by the controlled cortical impact (CCI), one of the most common models of TBI; the mice were orally administered co-ultra PEALut (1mg/Kg) 1h after trauma and daily for 72h and 7d. A conspicuous neurogenesis was seen in mice 72h and 7d after trauma. Co-ultra PEALut treatment stimulated neuronal reconstitution process restoring the basal level of new neurons (by BrdU staining) and mature neurons (by doublecortin staining). Moreover this positive effect was associated with an important upregulation of neurotrophic factors (BDNF and NT-3), ultimately leading to improvement in memory recall on behavioral testing (Morris water maze test).

Co-ultra PEALut could represent a therapeutic potential of augmenting the endogenous repair response for treating TBI.

description: Objective: To evaluate the dynamic thiol disulphide homestasis in  maternal circulation and umbilical cord blood and its relation to mode of delivery.

Methods: The study consisted of 35 women with vaginal delivery (VD) and 30 women with cesarean delivery (CS). Blood samples were collected from women at the onset of labor, in early and late postpartum periods and from umbilical cord. Thiol disulphide levels in VD and CS groups were analyzed.

Results: Pre-delivery thiols for CS and VD groups were 383.08 ± 51.81 µmol/L vs. 346.13 ± 51.56 µmol/L (p=0.023); early postpartum thiol levels for CS and VD groups were 272.57± 42.78 µmol/l vs 234.50 ± 26.62 µmol/L (p=0.0010 respectively. Pre-delivery thiol levels (346.13 ± 51.56 µmol/L) were decreased to  324.50 ± 26.62 µmol/L in early postpartum perion in VD group (p= 0.031). The same alterations were observed in CS group (383.08± 51.81µmol/L vs. 272.57 ±42.78µmol/L p=0.001). No significant differences were observed in umbilical cord thiol/disulphide levels between two groups.

Conclusion: During active phase of labor, oxidative stress increases. It also increases after CS presumably due to response to the surgical intervention and it turns bact to the baseline levels during the late postpartum period. Mode of delivery does not affect oxidative stress in umbilical cord blood.

Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: Objective: To examine the effect of antioxidants on blood and placental tissue and its relation to fetal outcome in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Study design: 200 pregnant women with (GDM) were randomized into 2 groups, Group1 received 1 gram L-ascorbic acid daily and Group2 received no treatment.

Results: Antioxidants significantly lower the needed insulin dose for control of blood sugar (25.6±20.3 vs. 40.5±23.7 respectively). In placental tissue, glutathione (GSH), malondialdahyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) ,catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) were significantly lower in antioxidant group compared to control group (P <0.001). In maternal blood, GSH , CAT and SOD were significantly higher),while  GPx was significantly lower in antioxidant group compared to control group (P <0.001). In neonatal blood MDA and SOD showed a statistically significant difference between antioxidants and control groups () (P <0.001). The neonatal blood sugar after 1 and 2 hours of delivery was more stable in antioxidant group (56.7±10.9 vs. 39.7±11.1 and 58.5±10.8 vs. 41.7±13.1 respectively) (P <0.05). The neonates NICU admission was lower in antioxidant group (5 vs. 11) (P <0.05)

Conclusion: The use of antioxidants markedly reverses the oxidative stresses in women with GDM with marked improvement on neonatal outcome.

description: We investigate the phase diagram and the nature of the phase transitions in a three-dimensional model characterized by a global SU($N$) symmetry, a local U(1) symmetry, and the absence of monopoles. It represents a natural generalization of the gauge monopole-free (MF) CP$^{N-1}$ model, in which the fixed-length constraint (London limit) is relaxed. We have performed Monte Carlo simulations for $N=2$ and 25, observing a finite-temperature transition in both cases, related to the condensation of a local gauge-invariant order parameter. For $N=2$ results for the MF model are consistent with a weak first-order transition. A continuous transition would be possible only if scaling corrections were anomalously large. For $N=25$ the results in the general MF model are also consistent with a first-order transition, that becomes weaker as the size of the field-length fluctuations decreases.

description: Equivariant neural networks, whose hidden features transform according to representations of a group G acting on the data, exhibit training efficiency and an improved generalisation performance. In this work, we extend group invariant and equivariant representation learning to the field of unsupervised deep learning. We propose a general learning strategy based on an encoder-decoder framework in which the latent representation is separated in an invariant term and an equivariant group action component. The key idea is that the network learns to encode and decode data to and from a group-invariant representation by additionally learning to predict the appropriate group action to align input and output pose to solve the reconstruction task. We derive the necessary conditions on the equivariant encoder, and we present a construction valid for any G, both discrete and continuous. We describe explicitly our construction for rotations, translations and permutations. We test the validity and the robustness of our approach in a variety of experiments with diverse data types employing different network architectures.
Effect of weight loss on antioxidant enzymes and their relationship with the antioxidant vitamins A,C, E food intake in obese women
Creators: name: Ramezanipour, Masoud
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: General information, anthropometric measurements, 3-day food recall, and fasting blood samples were collected from 30 obese women at the beginning of the study and after 3 months intervention. Weight loss was set at about 10% of their weight before the intervention.

Glutathione reductase and catalase activities showed a significant increase (P<0.01) after weight reduction, but no significant changes were seen in the superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activities. There was a positive linear correlation between daily vitamin C intake with superoxide dismutase enzyme after intervention (P=0.004, r=0.507). There was a negative linear correlation between vitamin E intake and glutathione peroxidase activity before intervention (P=0.005, r=-0.5). A negative correlation was found between daily vitamin A intake and glutathione reductase enzyme before and after intervention (r=-0.385, r=-0.397, P<0.05) respectively. No significant correlation was observed between vitamins A, C, E amounts and catalase activity.
 Ten percent weight reduction can have a significant role in increasing antioxidant enzymes activities, especially glutathione reductase, and catalase enzymes in obese women

description: Medial artery calcification is a phenomenon associated with aging in the general population and exacerbated in some diseases such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) which has direct implications on patient’s cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Many gaps still exist in understanding the underlying mechanisms that govern this process. One potential mechanism involves microRNAs (miRs) alterations. In this work, we aimed at characterization of the microRNAs (miRs) contribution in mediating pathological calcification process of rat aortic explants cultured in high inorganic phosphate (Pi) condition, mimicking hyperphosphatemia seen in patients with CKD.

Methods: Aortas taken from rats were cultured for several days in 6 mM Pi medium. Treated aortas were shown to have increased calcification and elevated levels of trans-differentiation markers. Deposition of calcium crystals was examined by alizarin red and von kossa staining, and was shown to be elevated. In addition, tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) activity was shown to be elevated, along with significant upregulation of Tnap and Ocn mRNAs. On the other hand, OPN protein was shown to be upregulated, whereas the aortic marker SM22α was downregulated as evaluated by Western blotting and immunofluorescence (IF) analysis. Furthermore, the miR profile of the calcified aortas was analyzed by TaqMan Low Density Array (TLDA) and confirmed by individual qPCR assay. Our results showed that after 3 days of treatment, 3 miRs were upregulated (miR-155, -200c, -322) and 2 miRs were downregulated (miR -331, -708) in treated aortas compared with control ones. However, 6 days post treatment, 3 other miRs were upregulated (miR-328, -546, 301a) and 2 other miRs were downregulated (miR-409,-542) in treated aortas compared to the controls. Taken together, these results indicate a dynamic miR profile in response to high Pi, suggesting a role for miRs during the calcification process of aortas induced by high Pi, and proposing the identified miRs as candidate therapeutic targets.

Year: 2016

description: The present study was design to screen the neuroprotective and antioxidant activity of corosolic acid in painful diabetic neuropathy (DN).  Diabetes was induced in rats by single dose of STZ (60mg/kg, i.p). Diabetic rats were tested week for the development of pain, at 6th week the rats developed significant neuropathic pain. They were divided into different groups and treated with Corosolic acid (2 and 4 mg/kg, p.o) for further two weeks. Pain was assessed in the diabetic rats by mechano-tactil allodynia, mechanical hyperalgesia and cold allodynia. At the end of treatment period rats were scarified and biochemical changes such as plasma glucose level, endogenous antioxidants (Lipid peroxidation, reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase and catalase) in sciatic nerve were evaluated. Further Na+/K+ ATPase and nitric oxide content was also evaluated. Treatment with corosolic acid for two weeks restored the altered body weight and elevated blood sugar level. Further corosolic acid showed dose dependent reduction in pain in neuropathic animals. The level of endogenous antioxidants enzymes, Na+/K+ ATPase and nitric oxide were significantly prevented. In conclusion. The result of the present study suggests the antidiabetic, antioxidant and neuroprotectieve property of corosolic acid in diabetic rats with neuropathic pain.

Curcumin Mediated Attenuation of Carbofuran Induced Oxidative Stress in Rat Brain
Creators: name: Sharma, Bechan
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: The indiscriminate use of carbofuran to improve crop productivity causes adverse effects in non-targets including mammals. This study aims to evaluate carbofuran induced oxidative stress in the brain stem of rat and its attenuation by curcumin, a natural antioxidant. Out of 6 groups of rats, two received two different doses of carbofuran: 15 and 30 % of LD50, respectively, for 30 days. Other two groups receiving same doses of carbofuran were pretreated with curcumin (100 mg/kg body weight). The levels of antioxidants MDA, GSH, SOD, catalase and GST were determined in the rat brain stem. The remaining groups served as placebo and curcumin treated, respectively. The data suggested that carbofuran at different doses caused significant alterations in the levels of MDA and GSH in dose dependent manner. The MDA and GSH contents were elevated. The activities of SOD, catalase and GST were significantly inhibited at both doses of carbofuran. The ratio of P/A was also found to be sharply increased. The prior treatment of curcumin exhibited significant protection from carbofuran induced toxicity. The results suggested that carbofuran at sub-lethal doses was able to induce oxidative stress in the brain stem of rat which should be attenuated by curcumin.

Importance of periconceptional micronutrient supplementation in the prevention of congenital abnormalities
Creators: name: Vereczkey, Attila
Publisher: name: Journal of International Society of Antioxidants in  Nutrition & Health
Year: 2016

description: Adequate nutritional habits during periconceptional period is proven to be of crucial importance for optimal pregnancy outcomes. Diet, particularly vitamin deficiency often increases children's risk of congenital abnormalities.

Hungarian interventional trials already proved the efficiency of folic acid in preventing neural tube defects, one of the most common and severe malformation. Folic acid was demonstrated to prevent 90 % of neural tube defects in the form of multivitamins, and 70 % prevention of the malformation when applied alone during the periconceptional period. The application of folic acid in the same manner was able to prevent a large proportion of congenital cardiovascular abnormalities as well.

The possible uses of periconceptional folic acid supplementation would be the followings: (i) dietary intake; (ii) periconceptional medication; (iii) flour fortification; (iv) combination of oral contraceptives with 6S-5-methyltetrahydrofolate. Recently the use of folic acid has been extended to late-pregnancy, particularly to the third trimester as well, in which case it has been shown to decrease the rate of preterm births.

In summary, folic acid applied before and during pregnancy may significantly contribute to the reduction of the occurrence of factors influencing offsprings morbidity and mortality, thus playing important role in children's long-term health as well.

description: Objectives: Vitamin A has fundamental roles in embryonic development, reproduction, bone metabolism, skin homeostasis and vision. Another major role is in immunity, and a vitamin A deficiency seems to undermine also the efficacy of childhood vaccination campaigns (1). In Mozambique about 2.3 million under-5 children are vitamin A deficient (2). The aim of this study is to illustrate sustainable recipes made with local foods to fight child vitamin A deficiency and malnutrition in Mozambique.
 Methods: We adapted Dietary Reference Intake for children aged 3-8 years from the DRI reports (3). We listed more than 60 foods commonly consumed in Mozambique and developed some recipes indicating composition, energy and nutrients values.
 Results: Doctors with Africa with Unicef and Provincial Health Department of Sofala developed different recipes with high and adequate intake levels of vitamin A, energy and other crucial nutrients.
 Conclusion: Local recipes approach has the promise to be among the most cost-effective/high impact interventions against child malnutrition and mortality in Mozambique due to its ability to supply recommended micronutrients, in particular Vitamin A, and overcome the main nutrient gaps. Moreover, supporting local economy, it  ensures environmental sustainability and contributes to the achievement of Millennium Development Goals.

description: Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a devastating fungal pathogen that causes severe crop losses worldwide. It is of vital importance to understand its pathogenic mechanism for disease control. Through a forward genetic screen combined with next-generation sequencing, a putative protein kinase, SsCak1, was found to be involved in the growth and pathogenicity of S. sclerotiorum. Knockout and complementation experiments confirmed that deletions in SsCak1 caused defects in mycelium and sclerotia development, as well as appressoria formation and host penetration, leading to complete loss of virulence. These findings suggest that SsCak1 is essential for the growth, development, and pathogenicity of S. sclerotiorum. Therefore, SsCak1 could serve as a potential target for the control of S. sclerotiorum infection through host-induced gene silencing (HIGS), which could increase crop resistance to the pathogen.
Optimizing the medium conditions for production of tetracycline by solid state fermentation of Streptomyces aureofaciens NCIM 2417 using statistical experimental methods

description: Tetracycline belongs to one of the extracellular produced polyketide antibiotics having hydrophilicproperties. Statistical based optimization, Plackett–Burman design (PBD) and response surfacemethodology (RSM) were occupied to screen and optimize the medium conditions for theproduction of tetracycline from Streptomyces aureofaciens NCIM 2417, using solid state fermentation.pineapple peel waste was used as both the curious solid support and carbon and nitrogen sources andinorganic salts for the growth of Streptomyces aureofaciens NCIM 2417. Based on the positiveinfluence of the half normal plot obtained from PBD on tetracycline production, three mediumconditions – peanut meal, incubation period and soluble starch were screened. Central compositedesign (CCD) was occupied using these three medium conditions at five levels, for advanceoptimization, and the second order polynomial equation was derived, based on the experimentaldata. Response surface methodology showed that the conditions of peanut meal (0.4%), incubationperiod (day 2) and soluble starch (2%) were the optimal levels for maximal tetracycline production(17.98 mg/g substrate) which were validated through experiments.

description: Luminosity determination within the ALICE experiment is based on the measurement, in van der Meer scans, of the cross sections for visible processes involving one or more detectors (visible cross sections). In 2015 and 2018, the Large Hadron Collider provided Pb$-$Pb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV. Two visible cross sections, associated with particle detection in the Zero Degree Calorimeter (ZDC) and in the V0 detector, were measured in a van der Meer scan. This article describes the experimental set-up and the analysis procedure, and presents the measurement results. The analysis involves a comprehensive study of beam-related effects and an improved fitting procedure, compared to previous ALICE studies, for the extraction of the visible cross section. The resulting uncertainty of both the ZDC-based and the V0-based luminosity measurement for the full sample is 2.5%. The inelastic cross section for hadronic interactions in Pb$-$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}} = 5.02$ TeV, obtained by efficiency correction of the V0-based visible cross section, was measured to be $7.67 \pm 0.25$ b, in agreement with predictions using the Glauber model.
