Evaluation the effects of
Eucalyptus
essential oil and hypertonic saline as scolicidal agents in induction of sclerosing cholangitis in rabbits
Seyed Vahid Hosseini, Maytham Hameed Al-Qanbar, Hajar Khazraei, Shahin Khodaei, Maral Mokhtari, Pooya Iranpour
Adv Biomed Res
2020, 9:9 (28 February 2020)
DOI

Background:
There are several scolicidal agents for inactivation of hydatid cyst protoscolices during surgery, but most of them are associated with adverse side effects such as sclerosing cholangitis (SC) and liver necrosis. The present study aimed to evaluate the adverse effects of
Eucalyptus
essential oil to induce SC in animal models.
Materials and Methods:
Eighteen rabbits weighting 2000–3500 g were included in three groups for this study. About 0.3 ml of
Eucalyptus
essential oil (1%), or 5% hypertonic saline, or normal saline was injected for 5 min in the gallbladder. After 4 months, the liver, common bile duct, and duodenum were resected and immediately sent for cholangiography and pathologic studies.
Results:
According to pathological studies, inflammation is more common in
Eucalyptus
and hypertonic saline groups. Due to cholangiographic studies, stricture was slightly higher in the hypertonic saline group than the
Eucalyptus
group.
Conclusion:
Thus, 1%
Eucalyptus
essential oil is at least as safe as 5% hypertonic saline, but for clinical uses, it must be confirmed with further studies.

Vitamin D status in infants during the first 9 months of age and its effect on growth and other biochemical markers: A prospective cohort study
Uday Kumar Mandal, Manish Gutch, Sukriti Kumar
Adv Biomed Res
2020, 9:8 (28 February 2020)
DOI

Background:
Despite food fortification policies in many countries and recommendations for Vitamin D supplementation of at-risk groups, Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and infantile rickets remain major public health challenges in many developed and developing countries.
Materials and Methods:
Ninety-six participants at birth were enrolled and followed up until 9 months of age. Serum 25OHD was estimated in cord blood at birth and at 14 ± 1 weeks of life. Seventy-seven participants were followed up at 9 months for estimation of serum 25OHD, parathyroid hormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), calcium, and phosphorus. VDD was defined as serum 25OHD <15 ng/mL as per USIOM guidelines.
Results:
Serum 25OHD levels at 9 months of age (15.78 ± 8.97 ng/mL) were significantly increased in comparison to the level of 3 months of age (14.04 ± 7.10 ng/mL) and at birth (8.94 ± 2.24 ng/mL). At birth, all the participants (77) were deficient in 25OHD levels. It was found that 16/94 (17%) and 19/77 (24.7%) participants at 3 and 9 months of age, respectively, became Vitamin D sufficient without any Vitamin D supplementation. There was a significant inverse correlation between serum 25OHD and PTH concentration (
r
= −0.522,
P
< 0.001), serum 25OHD and ALP (
r
= −0.501,
P
< 0.001). It was found that reduction in serum Vitamin D level to <10.25 ng/mL results in a surge of serum PTH.
Conclusion:
VDD is common from birth to 9 months of age but incidence decreases spontaneously even without supplementation. Furthermore, a large number of babies may be falsely labeled as Vitamin D deficient with currently followed cutoffs. Hence a new cutoff for VDD needs to be established for neonates and infants.

The effects of fibrin–icariin nanoparticle loaded in poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid scaffold as a localized delivery system on chondrogenesis of human adipose-derived stem cells

Adv Biomed Res

DOI
:10.4103/abr.abr_143_19
Background:
Nowadays, cartilage tissue engineering is the best candidate for regeneration of cartilage defects. This study evaluates the effect of fibrin/icariin (ICA) nanoparticles (F/I NPs) on chondrogenesis of stem cells.
Materials and Methods:
F/I NPs were characterized by Dynamic Light Scattering DLS. Poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA)-F/I NP scaffold was fabricated and assessed by scanning electron microscope. Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) were seeded on scaffold and induced for chondrogenesis. After 14 days, cell viability and gene expression were analyzed by the 3-(4, 5- dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. MTT assay and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
Results:
The size and surface charge of F/I NP were about 28–30 nm and − 17, respectively. The average of pore size of PLGA and PLGA–fibrin/ICA was 230 and 340 μm, respectively. Cell viability of differentiated cells in P/F group was higher than others significantly (
P
≤ 0.05). Furthermore, quantitative RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that ICA upregulated cartilaginous-specific gene expression. Furthermore, the results of the expression of type I collagen revealed that ICA downregulated this gene significantly (
P
< 0.01).
Conclusions:
The results indicated that F/I NP could be a potential factor for chondrogenesis of stem cells and downregulation of fibrocartilage marker.
