麦芽糖基-β-环糊精与10-姜酚的包合作用研究

10-姜酚是生姜中有益于人体健康的生物活性成分,但其水溶性较低,化学稳定性较差,限制了其在食品工业中的应用。该研究采用溶剂法联合冷冻干燥技术制备10-姜酚/麦芽糖基-β-环糊精(Mal-β-CD)的包合物,并借助紫外光谱、红外光谱、X-射线衍射技术、热重及差示扫描量热联用分析、分子对接模拟等技术研究包合物结构特征。结果表明,Mal-β-CD对10-姜酚具有良好的包合能力,10-姜酚与Mal-β-CD包合物的化学计量比为1∶1;10-姜酚的苯环结构和非极性侧链进入到Mal-β-CD的疏水性空腔中,二者之间形成了4个氢键,氢键键长分别为2.5 ?、2.0 ?、2.4 ?、2.5 ?,结合能为-19.32 kJ/mol。10-姜酚以无定形状态存在于包合物中,其热稳定性得到了明显提高。     

Benefits of multiple micronutrient supplementation in heart failure: A comprehensive review

Abstract

Background: Multiple micronutrient supplementation has been suggested to have a role on health outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF), but the evidence is inconclusive. Objective: To elucidate the role of multiple micronutrient supplementation in heart failure we performed a comprehensive review of the literature. Methods and results: The search in databases included PUBMED (until June 2018) to detect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyzes that investigated the impact of micronutrient supplementation in HF. Results: With more than 2357 titles and abstracts reviewed, we included only the studies suitable for the final review. Whether alone or in combination, micronutrients have been found to improve the health outcomes of patients with HF by improving symptoms, work capacity and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), thus increasing the quality of life in these patients. Conclusion: Future studies are needed to document the effects of multiple micronutrient associations in order to include them in nutritional guidelines to increase survival and to improve quality of life in patients with heart failure.

根霉ZM-10脂肪酶经过硫酸铵盐析、DEAE-Sepharose FF阴离子交换层析、SephardexG100凝胶过滤层析得到电泳纯脂肪酶,分子量约为42 ku,纯化倍数15.3倍,酶活回收率22.2%。采用NBS、EDC、DEPC、CH-T、PMSF、DTNB等6种化学修饰剂对根霉ZM-10脂肪酶进行化学修饰和底物保护实验,研究了其分子中氨基酸侧链基团与酶活性中心的关系。实验结果表明,酸性氨基酸(天冬氨酸?谷氨酸)残基、组氨酸残基、丝氨酸残基、色氨酸残基为根霉ZM-10脂肪酶活性的必需基团。酶分子中酸性氨基酸(天冬氨酸?谷氨酸)残基、组氨酸残基和丝氨酸残基位于根霉ZM-10脂肪酶的活性中心部位,而色氨酸残基在保持脂肪酶活性中起到重要作用,但其不位于根霉ZM-10脂肪酶的活性中心部位。

Effects of temperature,pH and light on the stability of aloin A and characterisation of its major degradation products

This study explored the stability and degradation products of aloin A under varying pH, temperature and light conditions usually encountered in processing. The stability of aloin A was significantly affected by temperature and pH. The content of aloin A decreased by more than 90% within 12 h at 50 °C and within 6 h at 70 °C, respectively. A significant decrease in stability was also observed at higher pHs. At pH 8.0, less than 2% of aloin A remained within 12 h. However, aloin A exhibited good stability at acidic pH levels with 94% remaining at pH 2.0 for 14 days. Light exerted no influence on the stability during the experimental period (14 days). Aloe‐emodin, elgonica‐dimers A and B were characterised as major degradation products of aloin A at pH 5.0 or below, and elgonica‐dimers were mainly formed at 4 °C as well. 10‐hydroxyaloins A and B were found under any condition except at pH 2.0 and 3.0, and they were mainly formed under high temperature, neutral‐basic and any light conditions.

Lacticaseibacillus paracasei K71 Alleviates UVB-Induced Skin Barrier Dysfunction by Attenuating Inflammation via Increased IL-10 Production in Mice

Scope

Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation causes skin barrier dysfunction, leading to decreased water-holding capacity, impaired epidermal barrier function, and increased skin thickness. This study investigates the protective effects of oral administration of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei K71 against skin barrier dysfunction in UVB-irradiated mice.

Methods and results

Mice are fed diets with or without K71 and irradiated with UVB three times a week for 12 weeks. Oral administration of K71 suppresses UVB-induced decrease in stratum corneum water content, mitigates the increase of transepidermal water loss, and decreases epidermal thickness of the dorsal skin. Treatment with K71 reverses the upregulation of inflammatory cytokines and the activation of nuclear factor-κB induced by UVB irradiation and upregulates the expression of anti-inflammatory IL-10 in the dorsal skin. Notable upregulation of IL-10 is observed in the spleens of K71-treated mice. K71 treatment enhances IL-10 production in J774.1 macrophages; however, this enhancement is diminished by inhibiting K71 phagocytosis and TLR3. Furthermore, transfection using K71 RNAs significantly increases IL-10 production.

Conclusion

These results indicate that K71 may alleviate UVB-induced skin barrier dysfunction by attenuating inflammation via increasing IL-10 production and that K71 RNAs may induce IL-10 production in macrophages. Therefore, K71 may be beneficial for preventing skin barrier dysfunction.
