Phosphorous Level

Wastewater treatment and removal of pollutants by phytoremediation, remain a major concern of the 21th century. This study is focused on the phytoremediation study in Philippine setting, specifically in one of the tributaries of Pasig river-the Estero de San Miguel. It determined the pH, Ammonia and Phosphorous before, 7th and 14th day of phytoremediation with the use of A. pinnata and E. crassipes. Twelve improvised water ponds/troughs, 3 ponds per treatment were used for 14 days. T- control (only wastewater), T1 for A. pinnata + wastewater, T2 for E. crassipes + wastewater and T3 for A. pinnata E. crassipes + wastewater. Potential hydrogen, Ammonia-N mg/L, phosphorous mg/L were analyzed before, on the 7th and 14th day of the study. Data gathered was analyzed using ANOVA and Fisher Least Significant Difference test as post hoc test. Result revealed that T1 (A. pinnata) lowered the pH and ammonia-N (mg/L) of wastewaters from Estero de San Miguel. T3 (combination of A. pinnata + E. crassipes) has significantly lowered the Phosphorous level of the wastewaters. Thus both aquatic macrophytes can be used as phytoremediation agents in the said Estero.

AIM: This study analyzed the nephroprotective effect by examining apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) expression and apoptosis rate in the glomerular parietal epithelial cell of cisplatin-exposed rats. METHODS: Samples consisted of 30 rats (divided into 3 groups: Group P0 received no treatment, group P1 received a cisplatin injection on the 7th day, and group P2 received glutamine injection on days 1–7 and cisplatin injection on the 7th day). After 72 h, the tissue samples were immunohistochemically processed. AIF expression was measured in an Allred score. The apoptosis rate was measured in apoptotic cells/field of view. Statistical analysis was carried out using JASP Statistics ver. 0.12.0 (p < 0.05). RESULTS: AIF expression values are follows: P0 = 4.89 ± 0.418, P1 = 6.14 ± 0.685, and P2 = 4.95 ± 0.530. The Kruskal–Wallis test result showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the groups and Dunn’s post hoc test showed a significant difference between P0 and P1 and between P1 and P2, but no significant difference between P0 and P2. Meanwhile, apoptosis rate values are as follows: P0 = 24.3 ± 9.821, P1 = 123.6 ± 16.008, and P2 = 77.2 ± 10.644. The Kruskal–Wallis test result showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the groups, and Dunn’s post hoc test showed a significant difference between P0 and P1, between P1 and P2, and between P0 and P2. CONCLUSION: The expression of AIF and apoptosis of glomerular parietal epithelial cells of the cisplatin-exposed rat has decreased after glutamine treatment.

Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate the appetite-stimulating effect of gabapentin by comparing it with mirtazapine in healthy cats in the first 8 h after ovariectomy surgery. Methods This double-masked, placebo-controlled, prospective clinical trial included 60 healthy cats presented to the hospital for ovariectomy: 20 received gabapentin, 21 received mirtazapine and 19 received a placebo immediately before and 6 h after surgery. Food was offered at 2, 4, 6 and 8 h post-ovariectomy. After each meal, food intake was measured. Data were analysed using repeated-measure ANOVA and a linear mixed-model analysis. Post-hoc Tukey’s honest significant difference test was performed for multiple comparisons. Results Food intake increased in both treatment groups vs placebo. No statistically significant difference was found between cats treated with gabapentin or mirtazapine. Conclusions and relevance Cats receiving gabapentin ate more than cats in the placebo group. Thirty percent of cats in the gabapentin group covered their resting energy requirements, while none of the cats in the placebo group did. Gabapentin and mirtazapine produced similar effects on food intake.

This study aims to determine the effect of adding soursop leaf extract (SLE) at level 0 (control), 2, 4, and 6% (the weight of SLE /the weight of the dough) on the physical, organoleptic and antioxidant qualities of chicken sausages. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was used in this study. Data analysis was performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and further tested using the Least Significant Difference Test (LSD). The results showed that differences in SLE levels did not significantly affect the physical quality of chicken sausages, but did change the color, aroma, texture, and taste. The color, smell, texture, and taste of chicken sausage with the addition of 6% SLE showed results that appeared to be greener, had a stronger soursop aroma, more elastic, and tasted more bitter than the other treatments (P <0.05). The lowest antioxidant activity was shown by SLE 0% in both the dough (39.78%) and cooked sausage (17.10%). The highest antioxidant activity was SLE 6%, with antioxidant activity of 57.63% in the dough and 37.43% in cooked sausages. The addition of chicken sausage does not affect physical quality but has a significant impact on the soursop leaf extract test on organoleptic color, aroma, texture, and taste. The best organoleptic quality is demonstrated at 4% SLE. The addition of soursop leaf extract level is accompanied by increased levels of antioxidants both in the dough and in cooked sausage.
