Biography:

Abigail R Basson is a registered dietitian and NIH-funded instructor in the Department of Nutrition and Division of Gastroenterology at Case Western Reserve University and a clinical dietitian for the Preventive Medicine Center at Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland USA. Her expertise is in basic mechanisms of inflammatory bowel disease and dietary manipulation of disease severity in mouse models and in human clinical trials. The overarching goal of her work is to translate scientific knowledge and discoveries into applied knowledge that can be disseminated at the community level. Her work challenges the traditional paradigm of a ‘one size fits all’ diet approach and underscores the importance of quantifying person-specific host and microbiota dietary responses into personalized diets that are of benefit to the individual.

Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: The current nutritional composition of the "American diet" (AD; also known as Western diet) has been linked to the increasing incidence of chronic diseases, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), namely Crohn disease (CD). This study investigated which of the 3 major macronutrients (protein, fat, carbohydrates) in the AD has the greatest impact on preventing chronic inflammation in experimental IBD mouse models. Methodology: We compared 5 rodent diets designed to mirror the 2011-2012 "What We Eat in America" NHANES. Each diet had 1 macronutrient dietary source replaced. The diets were AD, ADsoy-pea (animal protein replaced by soy + pea protein), AD-CHO ("refined carbohydrate" by polysaccharides), AD-fat [redistribution of n-6:n-3 PUFA ratio; ∼10:1 to 1:1], and AD-mix (all 3 "healthier" macronutrients combined). In 3 separate experiments, 8-wk-old germfree SAMP1/YitFC mice (SAMP) colonized with human gut microbiota ("hGF-SAMP") from CD or healthy donors were fed an AD, an AD- "modified," or chow diet for 24 wk. Two subsequent dextran sodium sulfate-colitis experiments in hGF-SAMP (12-wk-old) and specificpathogen-free (SPF) C57BL/6 (20-wk-old) mice, and a 6-wk feeding trial in 24-wk-old SPF SAMP were performed. Findings: The AD-soy-pea diet resulted in lower histology scores [mean ± SD (56.1% ± 20.7% reduction)] in all feeding trials and IBD mouse models than did other diets (P < 0.05). Compared with the AD, the AD-soy-pea correlated with increased abundance in Lactobacillaceae and Leuconostraceae (1.5-4.7 log2 and 3.0-5.1 log2 difference, respectively), glutamine (6.5 ± 0.8 compared with 3.9 ± 0.3 ng/μg stool, P = 0.0005) and butyric acid (4:0; 3.3 ± 0.5 compared with 2.54 ± 0.4 ng/μg stool, P = 0.006) concentrations, and decreased linoleic acid (18:2n-6; 5.4 ± 0.4 compared with 8.6 ± 0.3 ng/μL plasma, P = 0.01). Conclusion & Significance: Replacement of animal protein in an AD by plant-based sources reduced the severity of experimental IBD in all mouse models studied, suggesting that similar, feasible adjustments to human diets could help control/prevent IBD in humans.

Abstract:

Bangladesh has achieved remarkable success in improving most of the health indicators over the last couple of decades despite pervasive economic poverty. However, for a sustainable growth health sector should be among the top lists at Governments policy table. Unfortunately, the recent trend in budget allocation portrayed just the opposite and is concerning as expressed by health experts. Over the last seven fiscal years, budgetary allocation for health dropped from 6.2% to 4.3% of total government expenditure. Due to insufficient public spending, out of pocket payment (OPP) is much higher which is about two-third (64.7%) of total health care spending in Bangladesh. Inadequate and inefficient public healthcare and profiteering tendency of the private healthcare sector are two major factors behind such high private spending. Suffering from a massive shortage of health workforce and with such low public funding it would be very difficult for Bangladesh to fight against upcoming challenges like increasing burden of non communicable diseases (NCDs) and emerging threats due to climate change.

Abstract:

Skyrocketing prices of wheat flour based products (including their poor nutrient contents) like bread in developing countries like Nigeria, are a major contributor to the rising nutritional food insecurity. This concern has provoked nutritionists, food experts and proactive researchers into aggressive expansion of strategic researches geared towards tackling this menace with local food crops. In light of this, various composite bread (Samples N, H and A) were made from the blends of wheat flour, native/heat moisture treated/acetylated starch of sweet potato, and Moringa oleifera seed flour in the percentage ratio of 85:10:5 respectively. Nutritional and baking properties of these composite bread were investigated against those of ‘control bread’ (Sample C- 100% wheat flour bread). In terms of Nutritional quality and shelf stability, all the composite bread were significantly (p<0.05) higher than ‘control bread’; and also did not significantly (p<0.05) differ from it in terms of baking properties. The range of values of the results obtained were for: moisture (33.60-37.40%), ash (2.06-2.23%), crude fibre (0.72-1.34%), fat (1.07-1.53 %), protein (10.76-11.79%), carbohydrate (46.86-49.12%), energy content (244.07-255.38 kcal/100g), calcium (112.28-117.10 mg/100g), iron (1.83-2.78 mg/100g), magnesium (56.44-58.14 mg/100g), phosphorus (63.24-66.86 mg/100g), vitamin A (0.180-0.390 mg/100g), vitamin B₁ (0.032-0.07 mg/100g), vitamin B₂ (0.066-0.099 mg/100g), vitamin B₃ (0.176-0.430 mg/100g), vitamin B₆ (0.200-0.470 mg/100g), vitamin C (13.540-11.370 mg/100g), height (6.00-8.80 cm), volume (504.65-860.15 cm³), weight (260.60-334.30 g), specific volume (1.94-2.57 cm³/g), appearance (7.28-7.36), aroma (6.32-7.19), taste (6.20-6.90), after-mouthfeel (5.85-6.43) and general acceptability (5.87-6.77).Sample N (i.e. bread made from composite flour of 85% wheat flour: 10% native sweet potato starch: 5% Moringa oleifera seed flour) significantly (p<0.05) had highest values in ash, fat, crude fibre, protein, calcium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin A, vitamin B₁, vitamin B₂, vitamin B₃, vitamin B₆,  vitamin C; but had lowest values in carbohydrate, height, volume, weight and  specific volume. These results have highlighted the potentials of these underutilized food crops in addressing nutritional insecurity and of course, food insecurity in Nigeria.

Abstract:

Trypanosomiasis and leishmaniasis are a group of neglected parasitic diseases caused by several species of parasites belonging to the family Trypansomatida. The present study investigated the antitrypanosomal and antileishmanial activity of chalcones and flavanones from Polygonum salicifolium, which grows in the wetlands of Iraq. The phytochemical evaluation of the plant yielded two chalcones, 2′,4′- dimethoxy-6′-hydroxychalcone and 2′,5′-dimethoxy-4′,6′-dihydroxychalcone, and two flavanones, 5,7-dimethoxyflavanone and 5,8-dimethoxy-7-hydroxyflavanone. The chalcones showed a good antitrypanosomal and antileishmanial activity while the flavanones were inactive. The EC50 values for 2′,4′-dimethoxy-6′-hydroxychalcone against Trypanosoma brucei brucei (0.5 μg/mL), T. congolense (2.5 μg/mL), and Leishmania mexicana (5.2 μg/mL) indicated it was the most active of the compounds. None of the compounds displayed any toxicity against a human cell line, even at 100 µg/mL, or cross-resistance with first line clinical trypanocides, such as diamidines and melaminophenyl arsenicals. Taken together, our study provides significant data in relation to the activity of chalcones and flavanones from P. salicifolium against both parasites in vitro. Further future research is suggested in order to investigate the mode of action of the extracted chalcones against the parasites.

Abstract:

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a disease with a high and growing prevalence in most countries. Recently, literature found a link between DM and the risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), one of the main disorders. Objective: verify the prevalence of DM among individuals with AD. A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study was carried out, in which 100 elderly people aged 60 years or over, of both genders and diagnosed with AD were studied. The participants, aged 18 years old or over, were the direct family members or those responsible for the care of those elderly people. Sociodemographic and clinical information was collected through an online questionnaire on the Google Forms platform and tabulated in the Microsoft Office Excel program. Assesment scales of BADLs (Basic Activities of Daily Living) and IADLS (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living) as well as the adapted QDRS (Quick Dementia Rating System) were applied and then correlated with the duration of DM using the Pearson’s Correlation Test. Most of the AD patients were female (65.7%), with a low level of education (43%), overweight or obese (48%) and has as main comorbidities DM (51.5%) and Arterial Hypertension (57.5%). Significant differences were found in the Degree of Dependency scores according to the BADL (p=0.034) and IADL (p=0.028) assessment scales, and in the QDRS as well (p=0.036). According to the Person’s Linear Correlation Coefficient, duration of Diabetes had a very low intensity correlations with duration of Alzheimer’s (r= -0.1), with the degree of dependency according BADL assessment scale (r= -0.16), and according to IADL assessment scale (r= -0.14), and the degree of dementia according to QDRS (r= -0.15). The study apparently found a correlation between DM and a worsening of DA’s symptoms, but further studies on the subject are suggested, since the sample size does not allow extrapolating the results to the population.

Abstract:

This study designed to determine the effects of dairy products (milk, yogurt and cheese) intake and some physical activities (walking, running and using elevators) on bone mineral density (BMD) and body mass index (BMI) which are used as indicators of Osteoporosis and Obesity respectively.  BMI was calculated by dividing weight (kg) by the square of height (m2) and classified as following: Underweight (< 18.5 BMI), Normal weight (18.5-24.9 BMI), Overweight (25-29.9 BMI) and Obese (˃ 30 BMI) considered as Obesity degrees. BMD was measured for the right foot with a pDEXA densitometer with a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and expressed as a T-score index then divided as following: Normal (T ≥ 1), Osteopenia (T (-1) - (-2.5)) and Osteoporosis (T < -2.5). The correlation has been done according to Pearson Correlation Coefficient Formula. Results showed that the average of BMI, BMD and dairy products intake were 27.3±0.98, 0.79±0.76 and 62±0.43 respectively. Findings revealed that the most of respondents used to consume insufficient amounts of dairy products which led to high rate of osteoporosis (21%) and osteopenia (37%). Correlation value of physical activities was negative with PMI (-0.073) and it was positive with BMD (0.053). Findings conclude that dairy products consumption and daily physical activities may enhance bone mineral density and prevent obesity.

Abstract:

Background
In millennia, agro-industrial waste captured interest owing to its abundant availability, pollution reduction ability, low price, and lignocellulosic nature. It is important for the renewable

energy, biofuels, and biochemicals generation and is obtained from various sources, agricultural and forestry waste stream. Among agricultural residues, globally, cell wall is most important by-product of wheat processing produced in larger quantity. About 529 million tons wheat straw is generated every year in all over the world.

Objective
The core objective of the current study was to characterize the wheat straw cell wall for its nutritional and bioactive profile.

Study design
The whole research was conducted in three different phases. In first phase, nutritional composition and mineral profile of cell wall from the straw of different wheat varieties were determined. In second phase, wheat straw of different varieties was characterized for its important bioactive constituents, such as lignin, cellulose, hemicelluloses, phytosterol, and policosanol (PC) content.

Results
Results showed that straw of different wheat varieties contained 7.79–9.27, 3.92–5.10, 3.41–3.93, and 1.56–2.19 g/100 g moisture, ash, protein, and fat contents, respectively, whereas potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium were 1.16–2.06, 0.11–0.75, 0.12–0.99, 0.07–0.94 ppm, respectively. Moreover, lignocellulosic mass: cellulose 37.79–38.16 g/100 g raw material, lignin 15.65–16.11 g/100 g raw material, hemicelluloses 28.21–28.93 g/100 g raw material, was present in wheat straw cell wall and varied significantly among different varieties. In addition, phytosterol ranged from 912 to 1199 mg/kg in straw of different wheat cultivars, whilst PC from 195.02 to 237.12 mg/kg.

Conclusion
Conclusively, wheat straw cell wall was an excellent source of many important bioactive moieties especially lignocelluloses and could have functional use.
