Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide condition, which has been linked to a variety of health-related issues. Vitamin D can be beneficial to cardiovascular patients and those suffering from depression and anxiety, based on Survey of Ultraviolet Intake by Nutritional Approach (SUVINA study), ,showing the potential effects of vitamin D-fortified dairy products on anxiety, depression, and stress in subjects with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Methods: It was a quadruple-blind randomized controlled trial. Individuals were randomly allocated to one of four groups: fortified low-fat milk (FM), non-fortified low-fat milk (NFM), fortified low-fat yogurt (FY), and non-fortified low-fat yogurt (NFY). FM and FY groups were fortified with 1500 IU nano-encapsulated vitamin D3. Anthropometric parameters as well as depression, anxiety, and stress scores were measured at baseline and after a ten-week trial in Mashhad, Iran. Results: Totally, 289 participants (143 men, 146 women) with a mean age of 41.86±7.81years were enrolled in the study. There was no statistical difference between the scores of depression, anxiety, and stress in participants with and without CVD risk factors (P>0.05). No statistical difference was found in the subgroup analysis based on milk and yogurt consumption. Conclusions: Fortified low-fat milk containing 1,500 IU of vitamin D has no impact on improving depression, anxiety, and stress during ten weeks. However, further studies with higher vitamin D doses for a longer duration are recommended.
背景:维生素 D 缺乏症是一种世界性疾病,与多种健康相关问题有关。根据营养方法紫外线摄入量调查(SUVINA 研究),维生素 D 对心血管疾病(CVD)风险因素受试者的焦虑、抑郁和压力有潜在影响。研究方法这是一项四盲随机对照试验。受试者被随机分配到四组中的一组:强化低脂牛奶组(FM)、非强化低脂牛奶组(NFM)、强化低脂酸奶组(FY)和非强化低脂酸奶组(NFY)。FM组和FY组添加了1500 IU纳米胶囊维生素D3。在伊朗马什哈德进行了为期十周的试验后,对基线和试验后的人体测量参数以及抑郁、焦虑和压力评分进行了测量。研究结果共有 289 人(男性 143 人,女性 146 人)参加了研究,平均年龄(41.86±7.81)岁。有和没有心血管疾病风险因素的参与者在抑郁、焦虑和压力方面的得分没有统计学差异(P>0.05)。 根据牛奶和酸奶食用量进行的亚组分析也未发现统计学差异。结论含 1,500 IU 维生素 D 的强化低脂牛奶在十周内对改善抑郁、焦虑和压力没有影响。不过,建议进一步研究更高的维生素 D 剂量和更长的持续时间。

Background: This research was conducted to design a bionanocomposite film for meat packaging with regard to environmental aspects. Methods: Cellulose nanoparticles (CNPs) were used as nano-reinforcing factors were generated using non-edible agricultural by-products. The bionanocomposite film which was recently developed contains CNPs and chitosan (CS); then, the nanocomposites were explored via SEM, FTIR, agar disc diffusion tests and X-ray crystallography (XRD). Finally, the film was used to pack meat pieces. Results: Investigation of the morphological and physical reports of the solid films indicated that the CNPs are well scattered in bionanocomposite film. The addition of CNPs within a CS improved Young’s modulus by about 12135% and the tensile strength by 583%. In addition, XRD photographs indicated that CNP peak appeared after being added to CS context. Antimicrobial activity demonstrated that nanocomposites exerted restrictive effect on Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Listeria monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Using CS-nanocellulose composite as a packing film on meat surface leads to decreasing bacteria growth compared to nylon packing materials at 4˚C after 8 days of storage. Conclusion: Findings indicated that the recently designed CNP-CS films are a better replacement for common food packaging substances.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease which affects all aspects of human life. Medical herbs have become increasingly popular as complementary therapeutic measures for patients with diabetes. Thus, the present research aims to explore the consumption of medical herbs in patients with diabetes in Eastern Mediterranean Regional Office (EMRO) countries through a meta-analysis. Methods: The following keywords were searched: medicine, medicinal plants, healing plants, medicinal herbs, use, usage, frequency of use, prevalence, diabetes patients, type 2 diabetes, adults with diabetes, and EMRO countries. The databases searched included Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Results: A total of 3,542 papers were found. After omitting repeated or irrelevant papers, 70 papers were retained. An analysis of the abstract and full text of papers led to the retention of 35 papers. A great variance was found regarding the rate of consuming medical herbs in the papers (16.8-97.7%). The relative frequency of consuming medical herbs was 38% (95% CI: 33-44). Moreover, the most prevalent herbs were fenugreek (19%), cinnamon (18%), black seed (14%), white lupinus (13%), and olive (13%) with a 95% confidence interval. About 70% of patients (95%CI: 62-79) did not inform their physician of their herbal medicine consumption. Conclusion: In light of the present findings, it can be concluded that patients with diabetes use a wide range of medical herbs. Thus, health specialists and physicians need to be aware of the possible synergic or moderating effect of herbal medicine on the therapeutic measures taken for diabetes.

Background: The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) may be considered sepsis on the basis that all the pathological events and the subsequent organ-to-organ interaction in sepsis also occur in COVID-19. In this article, the authors first discussed the rationale for the use of vitamin C (Vit-C) in sepsis and septic patients. They also reviewed the role of a high dose of Vit-C in COVID-19, which included clinical trials designed for the management of this viral disease. Methods: The researchers explored databases of PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Data were extracted to assess the effects of Vit-C in septic patients and also the efficacy of supplementation with a high dose of Vit-C regarding the clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19. Results: Recent research findings indicate that severe inflammatory responses (cytokine storms) and oxidative stress are important causes for the high mortality in COVID-19 patients. It seems, however, that administering high doses of Vit-C can offer a therapeutic benefit. High doses of intravenous Vit-C, with its antioxidant properties and pleiotropic functions, could attenuate the tissue damage caused by excessive levels of free radicals following the cytokine storm and septic shock in severe cases of the disease. Conclusions: Recent literature suggests that high doses of Vit-C have a potential role in reducing mortality and intubation rates in critically ill COVID-19 patients. However, determining the optimal duration and dose of Vit-C in these patients requires further studies.
背景:2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)可被视为败血症,其依据是败血症的所有病理事件和随后的器官间相互作用也发生在 COVID-19 中。在这篇文章中,作者首先讨论了在败血症和脓毒症患者中使用维生素 C(Vit-C)的理由。他们还回顾了大剂量维生素 C 在 COVID-19 中的作用,其中包括为治疗这种病毒性疾病而设计的临床试验。研究方法研究人员浏览了 PubMed、Scopus、ISI Web of Science 和 Google Scholar 等数据库。提取数据以评估 Vit-C 对败血症患者的影响,以及补充高剂量 Vit-C 对 COVID-19 患者临床疗效的影响。研究结果最新研究结果表明,严重的炎症反应(细胞因子风暴)和氧化应激是 COVID-19 患者死亡率高的重要原因。然而,注射大剂量的维生素 C 似乎能带来治疗效果。大剂量静脉注射的 Vit-C 具有抗氧化特性和多种功能,可减轻细胞因子风暴和严重脓毒性休克后自由基水平过高造成的组织损伤。结论最新文献表明,大剂量 Vit-C 有可能降低 COVID-19 重症患者的死亡率和插管率。然而,确定 Vit-C 在这些患者中的最佳持续时间和剂量还需要进一步研究。

Background: There is a direct relationship between taking soy isoflavones and higher bone density, but there is a paucity of studies examining the relationship between flavonoid consumption and fracture risk. This study aimed to assess the bone fracture and its relationship to soy product intake by performing a systematic review. Methods: Scopus, PubMed, and Web of science were searched to find studies on the effect of soy isoflavones on bone fracture, without any time and language of publication restrictions. Key words of SoyMilk, soymilk, soybeans, soybean, soy, soya, Isoflavones, Isoflavone, ipriflavone, equol, genistein, daidzein, glycitin, fractures, and broken bone were used. Results: From a total of 1675 articles, 27 studies (cross-sectional studies (n=1), case-control studies (n=1), cohort (n=11), and randomized control trials (n=14)) were identified, and their quality was assessed. Eighteen studies highlighted mainly positive results in preventive influence of soy bone fractures. Two papers reported a positive effect was observed in men with cancer. No significant association was found between soy intake and bone prevention fracture in eight distinct papers. Conclusion: Intake of soy isoflavones can make a significant preventive effect on bone fracture; however, the results of some studies are controversial. Therefore, it is necessary to survey more studies to identify the relationship between isoflavones and bone fracture.
背景:服用大豆异黄酮与提高骨密度有直接关系,但很少有研究探讨类黄酮摄入量与骨折风险之间的关系。本研究旨在通过系统回顾评估骨折及其与大豆制品摄入量之间的关系。研究方法对 Scopus、PubMed 和 Web of science 进行检索,寻找有关大豆异黄酮对骨折影响的研究,不受发表时间和语言的限制。关键词包括豆奶、豆浆、大豆、黄豆、大豆、大豆、异黄酮、异黄酮、异黄酮、赤藓糖醇、染料木素、大豆异黄酮、甘草甜素、骨折和骨折。结果在总共 1675 篇文章中,确定了 27 项研究(横断面研究(n=1)、病例对照研究(n=1)、队列研究(n=11)和随机对照试验(n=14)),并对其质量进行了评估。18 项研究强调了大豆对预防骨折的积极影响。两篇论文报告称,在男性癌症患者中观察到了积极影响。在 8 篇不同的论文中,没有发现大豆摄入量与预防骨折之间有明显联系。结论摄入大豆异黄酮对预防骨折有明显作用,但一些研究结果存在争议。 因此,有必要进行更多研究,以确定异黄酮与骨折之间的关系。

Background: Due to the increasing prevalence of body image concern (BIC), especially in adolescent girls, and its potential associations with lifestyle factors and anthropometric indices, the present study was designed to evaluate the associations between BIC with anthropometric indices and dietary intake in adolescent girls. Methods: In this cross-section study, 210 adolescent girls aged 14-16 years were selected from high schools in Shiraz, Iran. Their anthropometric and demographic information were carefully recorded. Physical activity data were recorded through the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and information on dietary intake was collected using a 24-hour recall. To assess BIC, Littleton BIC questionnaire was applied. Regression analysis was used to assess the associations between variables. Results: Based on the results, 121 girls (55.8%) of the participants had no BIC, 70 (32.3%) had little, and 26 (12.0%) had medium BIC. Mean values of BMI, BMI for age centile, and z-scores were significantly different between BIC subgroups (P=0.008, 0.023, and 0.009, respectively). Mean values of height, and height for age centile, and z-scores were significantly different between BIC subgroups (P=0.018, 0.021, and 0.029, respectively). Risk of BIC increased, by 77% with 1 unit increase in z-score of height for age. Also, 1 kcal increase in daily energy intake led to 1% decrease in the risk of BIC. Conclusion: BIC was associated with lower calorie intake and higher z-score of height for age in adolescent girls.

Results: Based on the results, 121 girls (55.8%) of the participants had no BIC, 70 (32.3%) had little, and 26 (12.0%) had medium BIC. Mean values of BMI, BMI for age centile, and z-scores were significantly different between BIC subgroups (P=0.008, 0.023, and 0.009, respectively). Mean values of height, and height for age centile, and z-scores were significantly different between BIC subgroups (P=0.018, 0.021, and 0.029, respectively). Risk of BIC increased, by 77% with 1 unit increase in z-score of height for age. Also, 1 kcal increase in daily energy intake led to 1% decrease in the risk of BIC. Conclusion: BIC was associated with lower calorie intake and higher z-score of height for age in adolescent girls.","PeriodicalId":32114,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nutrition and Food Security","volume":"49 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139867627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide condition, which has been linked to a variety of health-related issues. Vitamin D can be beneficial to cardiovascular patients and those suffering from depression and anxiety, based on Survey of Ultraviolet Intake by Nutritional Approach (SUVINA study), ,showing the potential effects of vitamin D-fortified dairy products on anxiety, depression, and stress in subjects with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Methods: It was a quadruple-blind randomized controlled trial. Individuals were randomly allocated to one of four groups: fortified low-fat milk (FM), non-fortified low-fat milk (NFM), fortified low-fat yogurt (FY), and non-fortified low-fat yogurt (NFY). FM and FY groups were fortified with 1500 IU nano-encapsulated vitamin D3. Anthropometric parameters as well as depression, anxiety, and stress scores were measured at baseline and after a ten-week trial in Mashhad, Iran. Results: Totally, 289 participants (143 men, 146 women) with a mean age of 41.86±7.81years were enrolled in the study. There was no statistical difference between the scores of depression, anxiety, and stress in participants with and without CVD risk factors (P>0.05). No statistical difference was found in the subgroup analysis based on milk and yogurt consumption. Conclusions: Fortified low-fat milk containing 1,500 IU of vitamin D has no impact on improving depression, anxiety, and stress during ten weeks. However, further studies with higher vitamin D doses for a longer duration are recommended.
背景:维生素 D 缺乏症是一种世界性疾病,与多种健康相关问题有关。根据营养方法紫外线摄入量调查(SUVINA 研究),维生素 D 对心血管疾病(CVD)风险因素受试者的焦虑、抑郁和压力有潜在影响。研究方法这是一项四盲随机对照试验。受试者被随机分配到四组中的一组:强化低脂牛奶组(FM)、非强化低脂牛奶组(NFM)、强化低脂酸奶组(FY)和非强化低脂酸奶组(NFY)。FM组和FY组添加了1500 IU纳米胶囊维生素D3。在伊朗马什哈德进行了为期十周的试验后,对基线和试验后的人体测量参数以及抑郁、焦虑和压力评分进行了测量。研究结果共有 289 人(男性 143 人,女性 146 人)参加了研究,平均年龄(41.86±7.81)岁。有和没有心血管疾病风险因素的参与者在抑郁、焦虑和压力方面的得分没有统计学差异(P>0.05)。 根据牛奶和酸奶食用量进行的亚组分析也未发现统计学差异。结论含 1,500 IU 维生素 D 的强化低脂牛奶在十周内对改善抑郁、焦虑和压力没有影响。不过,建议进一步研究更高的维生素 D 剂量和更长的持续时间。

Background: Heart palpitation is a common complaint defined as an unpleasant or abnormal heartbeat feeling. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Crataegus extract on the relief of heart palpitations and anxiety in adolescents. Methods: This is an interventional quasi-experimental study performed from February 19, 2016 to February 19, 2017 on 120 adolescents aged 13 to 19 years with a complaint of heart palpitations, referring to heart clinic in Afshar Hospital of Yazd. The participants' demographic information, heartbeat feeling, Hamilton anxiety scaling, blood pressure, heartbeat rate, and electrocardiogram (ECG) were recorded. Patients were first treated with 20 drops every 8 hours for three days and then 25 drops every 8 hours for one month with Crataegus edible drops. They were then re-evaluated for heart palpations and anxiety. Results: Of 120 adolescents referring to Afshar Hospital with heart palpitations, 98 of participants (81.7%) experienced improvement. Mean differences in systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety scores before and after treatment with Crataegus extract decreased significantly by 1.71, 8.52, 6.55, respectively, but the mean difference in diastolic blood pressure increased by 1.46 (P<0.05). Conclusion: According to the results, Crataegus extract might be effective in reducing palpitation and anxiety in adolescents. Further studies are suggested to approve the results of the study.
