Effect of vitamin D in fracture healing in a child: case report.

Parchi P1, Andreani L, Piolanti N, Niccolai F, Cervi V, Lisanti M.Author information 11st Orthopedic Division, Department of Traslational Research and New Technology in Medicine and Surgery, University of Pisa, via Paradisa 2, 56125, Pisa, Italy, parchip@tiscali.it.AbstractIn this report, we describe the effect of vitamin D and calcium supplementation on fracture healing in a young boy with a hypovitaminosis D who had a radius refracture. The radiographic evaluation of the callus formation shows a clear effect of vitamin D on fracture healing in absence of additional variables.

Polyphenolic, polysaccharide and oligosaccharide composition of Tempranillo red wines and their relationship with the perceived astringency.

Quijada-Morín N1, Williams P2, Rivas-Gonzalo JC1, Doco T2, Escribano-Bailón MT3.Author information 1Grupo de Investigación en Polifenoles, Unidad de Nutrición y Bromatología, Facultad de Farmacia, Universidad de Salamanca, E-37007 Salamanca, Spain.2INRA, Joint Research Unit 1083, Sciences for Enology, 2 Place Pierre Viala, F-34060 Montpellier, France.3Grupo de Investigación en Polifenoles, Unidad de Nutrición y Bromatología, Facultad de Farmacia, Universidad de Salamanca, E-37007 Salamanca, Spain. Electronic address: escriban@usal.es.AbstractThe influence of the proanthocyanidic, polysaccharide and oligosaccharide composition on astringency perception of Tempranillo wines has been evaluated. Statistical analyses revealed the existence of relationships between chemical composition and perceived astringency. Proanthocyanidic subunit distribution had the strongest contribution to the multiple linear regression (MLR) model. Polysaccharide families showed clear opposition to astringency perception according to principal component analysis (PCA) results, being stronger for mannoproteins and rhamnogalacturonan-II (RG-II), but only Polysaccharides Rich in Arabinose and Galactose (PRAGs) were considered in the final fitted MLR model, which explained 96.8% of the variability observed in the data. Oligosaccharides did not show a clear opposition, revealing that structure and size of carbohydrates are important for astringency perception. Mannose and galactose residues in the oligosaccharide fraction are positively related to astringency perception, probably because its presence is consequence of the degradation of polysaccharides.

Cytotoxicity and DNA damage properties of tert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) food additive.

Eskandani M1, Hamishehkar H2, Ezzati Nazhad Dolatabadi J3.Author information 1Research Center for Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran.2Drug Applied Research Center, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran.3Research Center for Pharmaceutical Nanotechnology, Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Tabriz, Iran. Electronic address: ezzatij@tbzmed.ac.ir.AbstractTert-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) was tested for potential cytotoxicity and genotoxicity upon A549 lung cancer cells and Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC). Cytotoxicity was evaluated by MTT assay and flow cytometry analysis, while genotoxicity was assessed in vitro by alkaline comet, DNA fragmentation and DAPI staining assays. TBHQ dose- and time-dependently decreased the growth of A549 and HUVEC cells. Flow cytometry analyses determined early and late apoptosis in the treated cells. Also, single strand DNA breaking has been observed through comet assay technique. In addition, morphology of DAPI stained cells and DNA fragmentation assay using gel electrophoresis showed clear fragmentation in the chromatin and DNA rings within the nucleus of cell's treated TBHQ.

脳血管障害は、星状神経節ブロックの合併症としてはまれである。我々は、左星状神経節ブロック約30分後に右前大脳動脈梗塞によると思われる左下肢不全麻痺を発症したが、3時間後に組織プラスミノーゲン活性化剤投与開始し症状改善を得られた症例を経験したので報告する。潜在性前大脳動脈狭窄に星状神経節ブロックによる圧反射減弱による血圧低下が脳血流低下を招いた可能性も考えられた。本症例の脳梗塞発症の原因及び星状神経 …
