BACKGROUND: Anxiety and depression are reported as two major frequent and chief complaints among peri-menopausal women in several societies. AIM: The objective of the study was to study the effect of using two dietary supplements to beat depression and anxiety associated with menopause. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Sixty-six volunteers’ menopausal women participated on the study for 8 weeks, 35 subjects consumed daily cookies prepared mainly from soya flour and flaxseed, and 31 females consumed daily a blend composed mainly of raw unroasted peanut and raw sesame. Follow-up was performed with menopause rating scale, anxiety score, depression score, and biochemical parameters. RESULTS: Soya cookies were rich in plant-based protein and total phenols while blend was a good source of unsaturated fatty acid. Blend consumers showed significant percentage reduction in beck anxiety score and beck depression score after intervention, more than cookies consumers group. The anthropometrics parameters were statistical significant changed on both groups, more on the group who consumed the soya cookies. Soya cookies demonstrated an anti-inflammatory effect, while blend had an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects as was shown on the serum assay of interleukin-6 and malondialdehyde as an inflammatory marker and an antioxidant marker, respectively. CONCLUSION: From the results, it can be concluded that the supplementation of products enriched with unsaturated fatty acid was more beneficial to slow down the psychological menopause symptoms than natural estrogen rich product consumption.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Purpose to study emotional status at patients with unstable angina.  Materials and methods 42 men with unstable angina in the age from 40 till 65 years (average age 55.8 ± 1.3 years) were examined. A level of anxiety and the depression were examined by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), personality characteristics - by the MMPI questionnaire.  Results The patients with unstable angina had 5.4 ± 0.6 (from 2 till 12) score of anxiety level and 5.5 ± 0.6 (from 0 till 16) score of depression level accordingly. Besides 23.5 % of the patients with unstable angina had clinical and subclinical level of anxiety (score > 7 by HADS), 76.5 % of the patients with unstable angina had no anxiety (score ≤ 7 by HADS). However 35.3% of patients with unstable angina had clinical and subclinical level of depression (score > 7 by HADS) and 64.7 % of patients with unstable angina had no depression (score ≤ 7 by HADS). The patients with unstable angina had the such MMPI test parameters accordingly: on scale of Hypochondriasis – 54.2 ± 1.0 score; on scale of Depression – 44.8 ± 2.2 score; on scale of Hysteria – 52.4 ± 1.1 score; on scale of Psychopathic Deviate – 43.5 ± 2.0 score; on scale of Paranoia – 52.2 ± 2.5 score; on scale of Psychasthenia – 48.6 ± 2.4 score; on scale of Schizophrenia – 48.7 ± 2.2 score; on scale of Hypomania – 45.1 ± 1.2 score.  Conclusion 23.5 % of the patients with unstable angina had clinical and subclinical level of anxiety and 35.3% - depression. These patients need correction of anxiety and depression, that should be considered in treatment and rehabilitation.

Background:Knee osteoarthritis is considered to be one of the most common causes of functional impairment, which affects the quality of life of patients leading to severe mood disorders. Our goal is to evaluate the frequency of depression and anxiety in patients with knee osteoarthritis.Objectives:Evaluate the frequency of depression and anxiety in patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study over a period of 7 months from February to August 2016, including consecutively patients who consulted in the Rheumatology department at Mahdia university hospital for knee osteoarthritis. We evaluated for each patient a validated version of HAD “Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale”. This score includes 14 items each one rated from 0 to 3 and two components including depression and anxiety.Results:We included in our study 66 patients (56 women and 10 men) with an average age of 60.3 years [40-90 years]. Knee osteoarthritis was bilateral in 56.1% of cases. The examination found limited mobility of the knee in 45.5% and flessum in 13.8% of cases. Standard radiography showed stage 1 knee osteoarthritis in 4.5%, stage 2 in 31.8%, stage 3 in 56.1% and stage 4 in 7.6% of cases. All our patients were treated with analgesics, NSAIDs in 95.5%, local corticosteroid infiltrations in 43.9% and hyaluronic acid in 7.6% of cases.The mean visual analog scale(VAS)was 5.84 ±1.7 out of 10 [2-9]. The mean overall WOMAC index was 47.15±15.6 [12-82]. The average Lequesne index was 16.8±13.1, moderate disability was found in 3% of cases, significant disability in 6.1% of cases, very significant disability in 18.2% of cases and extreme disability in 72.7% of cases. The mean depression score was 9.3±2.6 [4-16], with 24.6% of the patients had no depressive symptomatology (score ≤7), 40% had doubtful depressive symptomatology (score between 8 and 10) and 35.4% of them had certain depressive symptomatology (score ≥11).The mean anxiety score was 8.88 ± 4 [0-19], 33.3% of patients had no anxiety symptoms (score ≤ 7), 34.8% had doubtful anxiety (score between 8 and 10) and 31.8% had certain anxiety (score ≥11). The statistical study found a significant correlation between the depression score and WOMAC score, but we did not find an association with age, sex, radiological stage, mobility limitation and VAS. Regarding anxiety, there was a correlation with age, WOMAC score and female gender. On the other hand, there was no correlation with VAS, Lequesne score, radiological stage and limitation of mobility.Conclusion:Although knee osteoarthritis appears to be a benign pathology, its impact can be severe, including depression and anxiety, which are mainly influenced by the degree of functional disability. Hence psychological care is sometimes necessary in these chronic degenerative diseases.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Background: Psychological distress has become an epidemic among cancer patients. Less is known about the pattern of anxiety and depression in cancer patients with minor children. Gender issue is also important in this regard. Psychological distress is an important predictor of quality of life in cancer patients. A majority of these disorders are eminently treatable.Materials and methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was done to compare anxiety and depression status between cancer patients having and not having minor children, attending at National Institute of Cancer Research Hospital, Oncology department in Dhaka Medical College Hospital and in Uttara Adhunik Medical College Hospital. The study was conducted for the time period from September, 2012 to June, 2013. In study group, having underage children, 123 cancer patients were included. Whereas in comparison group without having underage children, 116 patients were selected. Purposive sampling was applied. Cancer patients in both groups were selected randomly, each between the age from 20 to 60 years, corresponding to Karnofsky Performance Scale Score > 79. All The included cancer patients were married and did not have history of substance use or any prior psychiatric illness or co morbidities related to development of secondary psychiatric disorders. Distress among the patients were measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (Two sub scales – A – Anxiety subscale and D – Depression subscale).Result: In the study group, 60.2% respondents was male and 39.8% was female. And in comparison group male and female ratio was 42.2% and 57.8%. Mean age of the participants in study group was 36.97±4.37 and in comparison group was 42.98±11.74 years respectively. The mean duration since diagnosis was 12.85±13.11 months in study group and 11.53±6.72 months in comparison group. Majority of the respondents in study group were suffering from guynaecological cancer (25.2%) and gastro intestinal cancer (25.2%). Whereas majority cancer patients in comparison group were guynaecological cancer (31%) and haematolymphoid cancer (20.7) as well. Metastasis was present in 42.3% patients in study sample and 64.7% patients in comparison group. It was noticed that, both male and female in study group were found significantly more distressed than the comparison group (p < 0.001). In study group mean anxiety score in male (n=74) was 15.72±2.314 and in female (n=49) was 12.06±2.802, i.e. father with minor children were suffering from more anxiety than the mother (t = 7.878, p < 0.001). Mean depression score in male (study group) was 11.91±2.489, whereas in female it was 17.55±2.542, i.e. female cancer patients with minor children were found more depressed than male (t = 12.211; and p < 0.001). In comparison group, mean anxiety score among male (n=49) was 7.27±1.630 and in female (n=67) mean anxiety score was 8.84±1.592. Female were more anxious than male in comparison group (t = 5.196; p < 0.001). In this group, mean depression score in male was 9.671±1.651 and in female it was 8.58±2.161. Male without minor children were found more depressed than female in this group (t = 2.958; p = 0.004).But among all the cancer patients majority of female were found anxious (93.1%) i.e prevalence of anxiety was more in female. And majority of the male respondents (95.1%) were depressed; (odds ratio; depression in male: female = 3.120; CI at 95% level – from 1.176 to 8.276).Conclusion: Cancer father with minor children were more prone to development of higher anxiety. And anxiety was more prevalent in female among all the cancer patients with and without minor children.J. Paediatr. Surg. Bangladesh 6(1): 10-15, 2015 (Jan)

Purple nonsulfur bacteria are a group that has so much biotechnological applications, particularly in producing of functional food rich with unsaturated fatty acids. A purple nonsulfur bacterium (named HPB.6) was chosen based on its strong growth, high lipid and synthesis of unsaturated fatty acid (omega 6,7,9). Studying on basic biological characteristics showed that the cells of HPB.6 were observed as ovoid-rod shape, none motility, Gram negative staining. The diameter of single bacterium was about 0.8-1.0 µm. The cells divide by binary fission and had bacteriochlorophyll a (Bchl a). This bacterium grew well on medium with carbon and nitrogen sources such as acetate, succinate, pyruvate, butyrate, glutamate, arginine, leucine, tyrosine, alanine, methionine, threonine, glutamine, yeast extract and NH4Cl. This selected strain grew well on medium with salt concentrations from 1.5 - 6.0% (optimum 3%), pH from 5.0 to 8.0 (optimum at pH 6.5) and could withstand Na2S at 4.0 - 5.2 mM. Based on morphological, physiological properties and 16S rRNA analysis received demonstrated that HPB.6 strain belongs to the species Rhodovulum sulfidophilum.

Spectra Analysis

Trigliceride or triacylglicerol (TAG) composition in crude oil of sixteen strain of marine diatom has been detected by spectra analyses on an Electrospray - Ion Trap – Mass Spectrometry (ESI-IT-MS) HCT Bruker-Daltonic GmbH instrument with AgNO3 used as coordination ionization agent. Biomass samples of each microalga strain were taken from early and late stationary cultures in f/2 enriched seawater and algal oils were extracted according to Bligh and Dyer. Results from spectra analysis showed that P-Pt-P (C16:0-C16:1-C16:0) were distinguished in TAG from diatom strains Chaetoceros sp.1, Chaetoceros sp.2, Thalasiossira sp.1, Thalasiossira sp.2, Thalasiossira sp.3, Navicula sp. 1, Navicula sp. 2, Navicula sp. 3, Navicula sp. 4, Nitzschia sp. 2 and Amphora sp. In contrast, TAGs in Melosira sp. included P-P-P (C16:0-C16:0-C16:0) and P-P-O (C16:0-C16:0-C18:1) were identified. TAGs from Chaetoceros sp. were the most varies among samples, i.e. P-Pt-P (C16:0-C16:1-C16:0), A-P-M (C20:4-C16:0-C14:0), P-Pt-Lt (C16:0-C16:1-C18:3), P-Pt-A (C16:0-C16:1-C20:4), D-P-P (C22:6-C16:0-C16:0), A-Ln-P (C20:4-C18:2-C16:0). Various TAGs were also detected in Nitzschia sp.2, i.e. P-Pt-M (C16:0-C16:1-C14:0), P-Pt-P (C16:0-C16:1-C16:0), P-Pt-S (C16:0-C16:1-C18:0), P-Pt-A (C16:0-C16:1-C20:4). TAGs composition in Skeletonema strains that similar to those in Nitzschia sp.1 has longer carbon, i.e. P-P-O (C16:0-C16:0-C18:1), P-O-O (C16:0-C18:1-C18:1) and O-O-O (C18:1-C18:1-C18:1). TAGs with longer carbon chain and more double bond including highly unsaturated fatty acid C20:4 were increased with culture age in diatoms Chaetoceros sp.1, Chaetoceros sp.2, Thalasiossira sp.2, Navicula sp.1 and Nitzschia sp. 2.Keywords: diatom, TAG, ESI-IT-MS, f/2, early and late stationary
