Fasting And Refeeding

Recent studies have shown that the rate of colonic cell renewal can be altered through fasting and refeeding, which produces a marked depression and transient stimulation, respectively. In the present study, the role of physical versus nutritional stimulation in the colonic fasting-refeeding response and the renewal of the functional colonic compartment were evaluated via a nondestructive colonic ligation procedure. The results reported herein suggest that physical stimulation by lumenal factors is in part required to initiate the colonic hyperplasia seen after refeeding. Blood-borne nutritional factors, in the absence of physical stimulation, cannot alone stimulate colonic cell production. Additional evidence is presented which suggests that this physical stimulation may be manifested through the lumenal distension produced by the newly ingested food materials. The results are discussed from the viewpoint of influencing the functional colonic compartment and physiological capacity.

Convulsive Seizures

WITHIN the past year a dramatic outbreak of a singular type of convulsive seizures in babies has provided convincing evidence of an essential role for Vitamin B6 in human nutrition under natural circumstances. This is a general review of the circumstances surrounding this outbreak and of the present state of our knowledge of vitamin B6. But it is also important that this episode be considered as a reminder of the complex interrelationships which permeate studies of nutritional factors and as a warning against hasty conclusions. It also serves as an illustration of the hazard in premature or uncontrolled application to human nutrition of isolated fragments of knowledge concerning nutritional factors. The existence of Vitamin B6 was discovered in 1934 by experiments with rats. Symptoms of deficiency of this vitamin were soon described in several species of animals but not in man. Within a few years the chemistry of the vitamin was determined and the synthesis achieved. Considerable information as to the metabolic reactions affected by a deficiency of Vitamin B6 was rapidly accumulated. Only recently, 16 years after the discovery of Vitamin B6, the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medical Association reviewing the status of our knowledge of the role of Vitamin B6 in human nutrition reached only a cautious acceptance of an essential dietary requirement for Vitamin B6 in the human. The original observations which called attention to the problem of unusual convulsions in infants and pointed the way to its solution were made by a doctor in practice, just as were similar observations which led a few years ago to an appreciation of the circumstances producing a deficiency of folic acid in infancy.

Gastric Cancer Patients

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of nutritional factors in predicting radiotherapy-associated toxicities for gastric cancer patients. Methods: A total of 285 gastric cancer patients who underwent radiotherapy in our hospital between 2010 and 2017 were included in this retrospective study. Nutritional status assessment included body weight loss (BWL), body mass index (BMI), serum albumin, nutrition risk screening 2002(NRS-2002), patient-generated subjective global assessment(PG-SGA) and nutritional risk index (NRI). Results: Of all patients, 19.6% were underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m2), 25.6% were hypoalbuminemia (<35 g l−1) and 48.8% lost ≥10% of body weight in the 6 month interval before radiotherapy(BWL). Meanwhile, 73.3%, 78.6 and 47.2% of the patients were diagnosed as malnutrition based on NRS-2002, PG-SGA and NRI, respectively. Hematological adverse events were present in 91.2% (≥Grade 1) and 20.4% (≥Grade 3) of the patients. Non-hematological adverse events occurred in 89.8% (≥Grade1) and 14.4% (≥Grade 3) of the patients. Multivariate analyses indicated that only hypoalbuminemia(<35 g l−1) was independent predictor for Grade 3/4 hematological and non-hematological adverse events. Meanwhile, higher BWL(≥10%) was also independent predictor for Grade 3/4 non-hematological adverse events. NRS-2002, PG-SGA and NRI score were not associated with treatment-induced adverse events. Conclusions: Body weight loss and serum albumin are useful factors for predicting severe adverse events in gastric cancer patients who undergo radiotherapy. Advances in knowledge: The use of nutritional factors in predicting severe adverse events enables implementation of individualized treatment strategies for early and intensive nutritional interventions in high-risk patients.

ABSTRACT Lactobacillus vini is a bacterial contaminant found in industrial environments of winemaking and fuel-ethanol fermentation. However, there has been no standard analysis of its physiology that can pinpoint its adaptive traits to these kinds of environments. In view of this lack of information, the aim of this study is to determine the nutritional factors that lead to the growth of L. vini in the industrial plants of fuel-ethanol. First of all, the limited growth of this bacterium was studied in the industrial substrate, which was improved by nutritional supplementation with amino acids, and its homofermentative status was confirmed. Metabolite analysis showed that citrate is a growth factor of paramount importance for this bacterium in industrial processes through pyruvate metabolization, and increases ATP production and biomass formation. Furthermore,e acetate uptake, either from the medium or generated from citrate metabolism, was assimilated for biomass production. Hence, a metabolic model was designed to describe the role of citrate and acetate in the growth of L. vini that could be tested on other lactobacilli.

Growth System

In the human oral cavity, which is an open growth system, bacteria must first adhere to a surface in order to be able to colonize. Ability to colonize a non-shedding tooth surface is necessary prior to any odontopathic or periodontopathic process. Complex microbe-host relationships occur and must be studied before the commensal-to-pathogenic nature of the human indigenous oral flora can be understood. Medical pathogens, if present in the appropriate host, always produce specific disease. Caries and periodontal diseases are conditional diseases, requiring numbers of certain indigenous species at various sites, particularly the tooth surface. In the case of caries, the condition is related to sugar consumption. Periodontal disease/s may require certain host and environmental conditions, such as local environment or nutritional factors in gingival crevicular fluids. Nonetheless, critical numbers of certain indigenous species must be present in order for these diseases to occur. The aim of this review is to understand the acquisition of the indigenous oral flora and the development of human dental plaque. The role of the salivary pellicle and adherence of indigenous bacteria to it are critical first steps in plaque development. Bacterial interactions with saliva, nutritional factors, growth factors, and microbial physiologic processes are all involved in the overall process of microbial colonization.
