Wheat flour-based products are the most popular and desirable of all bakery goods. In the same time, they give the heights glycemic response so this type of products are banned for people with metabolic disorders as well as consumers who have a tendency to live a healthy lifestyle. In the same time the increasing consumption of sugars has resulted in several nutritional and medical problems, such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. The uses of a combination of various ingredients in range (such as rye flour – 40...60, dry gluten – 5...15, oat dietary fibre – 1...6 % and lentil flour - 5...20 %) that may modify the glycemic index of baked products, enhance the nutrition and functional features have shown in the article. Water Stevia extract demonstrated no effect on the baking quality and suggested the use of it to improve palatability and nutritional properties of developed new sugar-free bakery products. It was found the optimum ratio of these ingredients as a result of a series of studies and processing of the obtained data by multicriteria optimization. Results have shown that lentil flour can be used in the amount 12.5 % for the achieving optimum ratio "low glycemic index-high taste". It is shown that due to lentil flour it is possible to reduce the glycemic index to a greater extent than rye flour, dry gluten, but in terms of the taste characteristics, these products were less attractive with an increasing amount of flour in formula. The coefficients of the regression model were given as a result, it has helped to find out the patterns of influence of selected components and their dosage on the glycemic index, energy value and sensory characteristics of the product. The article represents the results, which can be used to create recipe compositions using selected ingredients.

Ischemic stroke and factors modifying ischemic stroke responses, such as social isolation, contribute to long-term disability worldwide. Several studies demonstrated that the aberrant levels of microRNAs contribute to ischemic stroke injury. In prior studies, we established that miR-141-3p increases after ischemic stroke and post-stroke isolation. Herein, we explored two different anti-miR oligonucleotides; peptide nucleic acid (PNAs) and phosphorothioates (PS) for ischemic stroke therapy. We used US FDA approved biocompatible poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-based nanoparticle formulations for delivery. The PNA and PS anti-miRs were encapsulated in PLGA nanoparticles by double emulsion solvent evaporation technique. All the formulated nanoparticles showed uniform morphology, size, distribution, and surface charge density. Nanoparticles also exhibited a controlled nucleic acid release profile for 48 h. Further, we performed in vivo studies in the mouse model of ischemic stroke. Ischemic stroke was induced by transient (60 min) occlusion of middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by a reperfusion for 48 or 72 h. We assessed the blood-brain barrier permeability of PLGA NPs containing fluorophore (TAMRA) anti-miR probe after systemic delivery. Confocal imaging shows uptake of fluorophore tagged anti-miR in the brain parenchyma. Next, we evaluated the therapeutic efficacy after systemic delivery of nanoparticles containing PNA and PS anti-miR-141-3p in mice after stroke. Post-treatment differentially reduced both miR-141-3p levels in brain tissue and infarct injury. We noted PNA-based anti-miR showed superior efficacy compared to PS-based anti-miR. Herein, we successfully established that nanoparticles encapsulating PNA or PS-based anti-miRs-141-3p probes could be used as a potential treatment for ischemic stroke.

In this study, PGA-co-PDL nanoparticles (NPs) encapsulating model antigen, bovine serum albumin (BSA), were prepared via double emulsion solvent evaporation. In addition, chitosan hydrochloride (CHL) was incorporated into the external phase of the emulsion solvent method, which resulted in surface adsorption onto the NPs to form hybrid cationic CHL NPs. The BSA encapsulated CHL NPs were encompassed into nanocomposite microcarriers (NCMPs) composed of l-leucine to produce CHL NPs/NCMPs via spray drying. The CHL NPs/NCMPs were investigated for in vitro aerosolization, release study, cell viability and uptake, and stability of protein structure. Hybrid cationic CHL NPs (CHL: 10 mg/mL) of particle size (480.2 ± 32.2 nm), charge (+14.2 ± 0.72 mV), and BSA loading (7.28 ± 1.3 µg/mg) were produced. The adsorption pattern was determined to follow the Freundlich model. Aerosolization of CHL NPs/NCMPs indicated fine particle fraction (FPF: 46.79 ± 11.21%) and mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD: 1.49 ± 0.29 µm). The BSA α-helical structure was maintained, after release from the CHL NPs/NCMPs, as indicated by circular dichroism. Furthermore, dendritic cells (DCs) and A549 cells showed good viability (≥70% at 2.5 mg/mL after 4–24 h exposure, respectively). Confocal microscopy and flow cytometry data showed hybrid cationic CHL NPs were successfully taken up by DCs within 1 h of incubation. The upregulation of CD40, CD86, and MHC-II cell surface markers indicated that the DCs were successfully activated by the hybrid cationic CHL NPs. These results suggest that the CHL NPs/NCMPs technology platform could potentially be used for the delivery of proteins to the lungs for immunostimulatory applications such as vaccines.
