Abstract Background/Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, relapsing, and remittent inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. Nutritional deficiency may be instrumental and contributable in this disease, among which vitamin B12 deficiency has been identified in IBD. Since the relationship between vitamin B12 and IBD remains controversial, in this study, we have examined the effect of vitamin B12 supplementation on acetic acid (AA)-induced colitis in rats. Methods Total of 28 rats were randomized into four groups of seven animals per group; Group 1 (Control saline) was the control group, group 2 (AA colitis control) was the disease control group, group 3 (VitB12) was the vitamin B12 alone treatment group, group 4 (VitB12 treatment in AA colitis) was the AA-induced colitis VitB12 treatment group. Weight change was measured. Macroscopic and microscopic scores were measured in each group. Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, myeloperoxidase (MPO), malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione reduced (GSH), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured in each group. Results Macroscopic scores, as well as microscopic scores, were not different between the group. Also, the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, MPO, MDA, and SOD did not differ between AA control and VitB12 treated AA colitic group. However, the levels of IL-6 and GSH were significantly different in rats with AA-induced colitis after vitamin B12 injection. Conclusion Nutritional deficiencies might contribute to the pathogenesis of IBD, but in this study, the efficacy of vitamin B12 supplementation has controversial effects on the intestinal mucosa.

Vitamin B12 Supplementation

Background/Objective: Recent literature has identified links between vitamin B12 deficiency and depression.We compared the clinical response of SSRI-monotherapy with that of B12-augmentation in a sample of depressed patients with low normal B12 levels who responded inadequately to the first trial with the SSRIs. Methods: Patients with depression and low normal B12 levels were randomized to a control arm (antidepressant only) or treatment arm (antidepressants and injectable vitamin B12 supplementation). Results: A total of 199 depressed patients were screened. Out of 73 patients with low normal B12 levels 34 (47%) were randomized to the treatment group while 39 (53%) were randomized to the control arm. At three months follow up 100% of the treatment group showed at least a 20% reduction in HAM-D score, while only 69% in the control arm showed at least a 20% reduction in HAM-D score (p<0.001). The findings remained significant after adjusting for baseline HAM-D score (p=0.001). Conclusion: Vitamin B12 supplementation with antidepressants significantly improved depressive symptoms in our cohort.

Changes in consumption behavior to instant food cause various health problems, such as obesity, dislipidemia, and atherosclerosis. A study was conducted to investigate Moringa oleifera extract as an anti-inflammation product that decreases the levels of biochemical markers IL-1 and TNF-a. This experiment was done with randomized pre- and posttest control-group design, employing 40 Wistar rats separated into five groups: control group 0% M. oleifera leaf extract (P0), treatment group 1 with 10% M. oleifera leaf extract (P1), treatment group 2 with 15% M. oleifera leaf extract (P2), treatment group 3 with 20% M. oleifera leaf extract (P3), and treatment group 4 with 25% M. oleifera leaf extract (P4). This research observed that intake of 20% M. oleifera leaf extract results in the highest significant decrease of 15.42% of IL-1 level (134.64 ± 1.98 to 113.87 ± 4.30 pg/mL) and decrease of 45.63% of TNF-α level (28.62 ± 1.25 to 15.56 ± 7.20 pg/mL). Therefore, it can be concluded that intake of M. oleifera leaf extract by Wistar rat has anti-inflammatory effects on chronic dyslipidemia through decrease of IL-1 and TNF-α levels and histopathology profile. Further research is required to determine whether the application of M. oleifera leaf extract (daun kelor) in humans will have similar anti-inflammation effects.

ABSTRACTBackground: Collagen has vital role on healing process of burn injuries, mainly in connective tissue.Collagen triggers fibroblast proliferation, support to form new granulation tissue and epithelium aroundwound. Wound treatment through collagen extract of Sangkuriang catfish skin can increase healing process.It stimulates humidity on level II burn injuries and encourage re-epithelization, proliferation and cellmigration also increases growth. Methods: This is an experimental studies using 4 groups of RattusNorvegicus (Wistar strain). All of the group get a burn injuries in their back skin. Control group 1 (K1) wastreated by lidocaine for three days and control group 2 (K2) for ten days. Whereas treatment group 1 (P1) getlidocaine and collagen extract from Sangkuriang cat fish for 3 days and treatment group 2 (P2) for 10 days.Result: Number of fibroblast/field of view on treatment group showed significantly increased comparedcontrol groups on the 3rd days (P=0,046) and the 10th (P=0,004). Percentage of TNF-α on level II-burninjuries in wistar rats showed significant difference. Percentage of TNF-α lower than treatment group andshowed significant lowering level compared control groups on the10th (P=0,022). Conclusion: Increasing offiroblast number and lowering level of TNF-α significantly showed collagen extract of Sangkuriang cat fishskin accelerate wound healing process.

Background: Adverse effects of available medications for osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) necessitate development of safer and effective alternative medicinal substitutes. The present study was conducted to evaluate analgesic activity of Ariflex liniment (conceptualized and developed by Ari Healthcare Pvt. Ltd.) in comparison with diclofenac gel by using acetic acid induced writhing model.Methods: Albino mice of either sex weighing 20-25 g were taken and divided into 3 groups with 5 animals in each group, i.e., group 1 (control group), group 2 (diclofenac gel) and group 3 (Ariflex liniment). After 1 hour of topical application of study drugs writhing was induced in mice using intra-peritonial injection of 1% acetic acid in volume of 0.1 ml/10 g body weight. Then the writhing episodes were recorded for 30 minutes and results were noted.Results: In the control group, the total number of  writhes were 260±29.73 (mean±S. E. M.). The total number of writhes was 12.17±11.81 (mean ± S. E. M.) in diclofenac group. In Ariflex liniment group, not a single animal felt pain, hence there were no writhes recorded. When compared to control group, the difference in number of writhes was statistically significant. The analgesic activity of Ariflex liniment was found to be superior to that of diclofenac gel used as standard drug.Conclusions: It can be concluded that Ariflex liniment possesses analgesic activity.

Introduction: An unusual case of a 19 year old female, presenting with fever, pallor and hepatosplenomegaly for one month. She had microcytic anemia on peripheral smear examination but her bone marrow aspiration & biopsy revealed a hypercelluar marrow with megaloblastic erythroid hyperplasia. Resolution of fever within 48 hours of Vitamin B12 supplementation, initiated in view of the megaloblastic bone marrow picture & low serumVitamin B12 level, suggests a causal association. Conclusion: Vitamin B12 deficiency seems to be an unusual cause of PUO (Pyrexia of unkown origin) which should be ruled out in every case of PUO.

There are few long-term nutritional studies in subjects undergoing bariatric surgery that have assessed weight regain and nutritional deficiencies. In this study, we report data 8 years after surgery on weight loss, use of dietary supplements and deficit of micronutrients in a cohort of patients from five centres in central and northern Italy. The study group consisted of 52 subjects (age: 38.1 ± 10.6 y, 42 females): 16 patients had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), 25 patients had sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and 11 subjects had adjustable gastric banding (AGB). All three bariatric procedures led to sustained weight loss: the average percentage excess weight loss, defined as weight loss divided by excess weight based on ideal body weight, was 60.6% ± 32.3. Despite good adherence to prescribed supplements, 80.7% of subjects (72.7%, AGB; 76.7%, SG; 93.8 %, RYGB) reported at least one nutritional deficiency: iron (F 64.3% vs. M 30%), vitamin B12 (F 16.6% vs. M 10%), calcium (F 33.3% vs. M 0%) and vitamin D (F 38.1% vs. M 60%). Long-term nutritional deficiencies were greater than the general population among men for iron and among women for vitamin B12.

The purpose of our study is to determine whether bucco-palatal/lingual (BPL) root dilacerations (RD), especially in single root teeth, can be determined using the ImageJ program through only one periapical radiography. Extracted teeth without any RD ( n = 8) were determined as the control group (Group 1) and with RD in apical 1/3 part at least 20° with the longitudinal axis in the BPL direction ( n = 8) as the study group (Group 2). With the help of a simple holder system prepared, digital periapical radiographs of all teeth were taken in an anteroposterior position. Histogram analysis of all periapical radiographs was performed using the spectrum feature of ImageJ software. It was aimed to make a dilaceration analysis by comparing the groups using mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, and bin width values. As a result of the Mann-Whitney U test, all mean and maximum values showed a statistically significant difference between the study and control groups ( p < 0.05). This pilot study revealed that the ImageJ software can be used to diagnose BPL dilaceration in the apical 1/3 part of the root. It is important for dentists and patients that it can contribute to limiting the radiation dose to which patients will be exposed.

The study presents the results of quality assessment of antiischemic myocardial protection by low- volume method of cardioplegia by «Custodiol» solution during operations with cardiopulmonary by- pass. The study involved 57 patients who underwent different cardiosurgery operations with cardio- pulmonary bypass. The patients were divided into two groups on the basis of the volume of cardioplegic solution. Research group (Group № 1) consists of 33 patients who were administered «Custodiol» in low volume limited by 1000 ml. The control group (Group № 2) consists of 24 patients who were ad- ministered standart volume of the solution corresponding to the manufacturer's instructions: 1 ml per 1 g of myocardial mass during 6-8 minutes. The results has indicated that the use of low volume of car- dioplegic «Custodiol» in a single administration manner provides a complete antiischemic protection of the myocardium during the correction of valvular heart disease, including combination with coronary artery bypass grafting. usage of low volume «Custodiol» solution method does not increase the need of inotropic and vasopressor usage and pacing time. The use of low volumes of «Custodiol» helps to reduce transfusion requirements of blood and its components.

BACKGROUND: Immunological mechanisms of infertility are still poorly understood and controversial, both the cause and treatment. Inflammation, immunology, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and cell survival are influenced by several proteins, including nuclear factor kappa-B (NFĸB), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-10 (IL-10). AIM: This study aimed to explore the potential of nano curcumin to prevent anti-sperm antibodies (ASA) formation due to the testes’ inflammatory process in Wistar rats. METHODS: This research is an experimental study with a pre-post-test approach with control group. The research subjects were rats (Rattus norvegicus) of the Wistar strain. The induced animals were grouped into three groups: Group 1 received nano curcumin 1 × 80 mg/kg BW orally, Group 2 received dexamethasone 1 × 0.3 mg/kg BW, and Group 3 received placebo aquadest 1 × 1 mL orally. TNF-α, NF-kB, and IL10 levels in serum were examined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: The nano curcumin treatment showed the ability to reduce the pro-inflammatory cytokine protein TNF-α expression (47.3 ± 2.32) more optimally than dexamethasone treatment (54.4 ± 3.22). Nano curcumin has also shown the ability to reduce the pro-inflammatory cytokine transcription factor, NF-kB (32.5 ± 2.76) more optimally than treatment with dexamethasone (44.6 ± 2.43). CONCLUSION: Nano curcumin can prevent the formation of ASA in testicular trauma through inhibition of the inflammatory response.

Purpose: To determine the therapeutic effect of Xuezhitong capsule in patients with microvascular angina (MVA), and its impact on vascular endothelial function.Methods: In total, 172 MVA patients treated in Beijing City Fengtai District Nanyuan Hospital from September 2017 to September 2019 were selected and randomized into control group which received conventional treatment, and treatment group which received Xuezhitong capsules plus. There were 86 patients in each group. Therapeutic effect, levels of inflammatory factors, i.e., high-sensitivity C- reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and vascular endothelial factors such as nitric oxide (NO), thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and endothelin (ET), were determined.Results: Markedly higher total treatment effectiveness was observed in the treatment group than in the control group (89.53 % vs. 72.94 %; p < 0.05). In both groups, treatment reduced the levels of hs-CRP, IL-6, TNF-α, TXB2 and ET, but elevated NO, with better results for treatment group than the control group (p < 0.05). Better optimizations of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TGs), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were observed in the treatment group, relative to the control group (p < 0.05). Patients in the treatment group experienced fewer (8.14%) adverse reactions than those in control group (21.18 %, p < 0.05).Conclusion: Xuezhitong capsule, when combined with conventional treatment, exerts high therapeutic effectiveness and safety in MVA patients by inhibiting inflammatory reactions, optimizing endothelialfunction, reducing blood lipid levels, and decreasing the incidence of cardiovascular adverse events. Thus, the combination therapy is a potentially superior therapeutic strategy to the conventional approach for the management of MVA patients.
