SynopsisThe effects of ultrasound and ultraviolet radiation on Vitamin E and its pharmacological excipient, olive oil, were tested by fluorescent analysis of DNA unwinding (FADU) on DNA extracted from human lymphocytes of healthy donors. The results show that Vitamin E may be inactivated and behave as a radical species, while olive oil appears unaffected by treatment either with ultrasound or with ultraviolet radiation.

The study determines the effects of palm vitamin E on the gene expression of bone-formation-related genes in nicotine-treated rats. Male rats were divided into three groups: normal saline olive oil (NSO), nicotine olive oil (NO), and nicotine palm vitamin E (NE). The treatment was carried out in 2 phases. During the first 2 months, the NSO group received normal saline while the NO and NE groups received nicotine 7 mg/kg, 6 days a week, intraperitoneally. The following 2 months, normal saline and nicotine administration was stopped and was replaced with oral supplementation of olive oil for the NSO and NO groups and oral supplementation of palm vitamin E (60 mg/kg) for the NE group. Both femurs were harvested to determine the gene expression of bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2), Osterix (OSX), and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2). Nicotine significantly downregulated the gene expression. This effect was reversed by palm vitamin E treatment. In conclusion, palm vitamin E may play a role in osteoblast differentiation and can be considered as an anabolic agent to treat nicotine-induced osteoporosis.

Plasma samples from patients with chancroid diagnosed both on clinical and microbiological grounds were assessed for their ability to inhibit mitogen-induced proliferation of human lymphocytes from healthy donors. All serum samples analysed suppressed phytohaemagglutinin A (PHA) blastogenic response. A significant difference in the observed extent was seen when serum samples from patients with and without associated lymphadenopathy were compared ( P < 0.05). Using an interleukin-2 (IL-2)-dependent cell line it could be demonstrated that the addition of patients' plasma to cultured cells markedly depressed mitogen-induced IL-2 synthesis. Results presented suggest that cell-mediated mechanisms play a role in the pathogenesis of infection due to Haemophilus ducreyi.
