yslipidemia is a major contributor to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Recently, World Health Organization (WHO) reported that cardiovascular diseases (CVD) account for 46% of ever all mortality in Egypt. So that; the present study investigated, the protective effect of nettle and olive leaves on hyperlipidemia in experimental rats. Thirty six male albino rats weighing 130 ± 20 g used in this study and divided into equal six groups ( 6 rats each),the first kept as anegative control group (-ve) received basal diet throughout the experiment period, while the second was the (+ve) control group which fed on hyperlipidemic diet for four weeks, while the four others groups given hyperlipidemic diet supplemented with nettle leaves (5%) ,( 10 %) and olive leaves(5 %), (10%) respectively for four weeks (astreatment groups ) .The chemical composition and phenolic compounds of both leaves were done . At the end of the experiment, biological data were calculated; blood samples were taken to biochemical analysis. In addition, histopathological examination was done. The results revealed that hyperlipidemic diet in the (+ve) control group increased body weight gain ,relative organ weight, serum lipid profile, Malondialdhyde (MDA), liver enzymes and serum glucose, decreased in serum HDL-C, serum Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) . All treated groups with two leaves showed improvement previously parameters compared with positive control group. In conclusion, the consumption of nettle and olive leaves could be used for improving lipid profile, liver function and protect from hyperlipidemia in experimental rats.

A large number of chemicals and medicines/drugs used routinely in daily lives can cause disorders and possibly liver disease. The aim of exploring some aspects related to the potential hepatoprotective activity of Ganoderma lucidum versus carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) intoxication in rat liver. When compared with the normal group rats, the CCl 4 treated rats showed significant (p≤0.05) decreased in different biological parameters. Also, biochemical parameters such liver enzymes activities were significant (p≤0.05) elevation when compared with the normal group rats. For immunological parameters, Alb was significant (p≤0.05) decreased by the rate of -29.44 and TNF-α increased by 93.28%. This also coincided with an imbalance in the oxidants/antioxidants status in the blood, which was represented by a decrease in the level of antioxidants and a high level of oxidants. All of those parameters were indicating the liver injury by CCl 4 . Whereas animal treated/fed with Ganoderma lucidum powder (GLP) showed significant (p≤0.05) improvements in all previous status biomarkers indicating the protection against hepatic cell damage. A positive dose - response was recorded between the concentrations of GLP applied and the level of improvement noticed in all measured markers. In conclusion, GLP was effective in protecting against CCl 4 -induced liver disorders. Present study recommended like of that algae powder by a concentrations up to 5% (w/w), amount to be included in daily diets, drinks and food supplementation after trial study on volunteer human.

Iron- deficiency anemia (IDA) is anemia due to insufficient iron. It is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide affecting people of all ages in both developed and developing countries. The present study aims to investigate the role of oxidative/antioxidant status in the pathogenesis of IDA through a case study on children of Qalyubiyya and Minoufiya Governorates, Egypt. 119 with IDA and 150 healthy control, boys and girls, infants and young children, aged zero months to 6 years, were selected for the study from Rural Health Units and Maternity and Child Care Centers, Qalyubiyya and Minoufiya Governorates, Egypt. Based on hematological and biochemical analysis, the mean hemoglobin (Hb) level, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), reticulocyte hemoglobin content, serum iron and serum ferritin were significantly lower in infants and young children with IDA than healthy control. The opposite direction was observed for the red blood cell distribution width (RDW). The antioxidant defense system parameters including [enzymes (glutathione peroxidase, GSH-Px; glutathione reductase, GSH-Rd; superoxide dismutase, SOD and catalase, CAT) activities and none-enzymatic levels (glutathione, GSH and vitamins A, C and E)] of infants and young children with IDA were significantly (P≤0.05) lower. While the oxidative stress parameters thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, TBARS and nitric oxide, NO2 were significantly higher than the control group. In conclusion, oxidant/antioxidant status may play a role in the Pathogenesis of Iron-Deficiency Anemia.

The level of air pollution is negatively associated with the amount of solar ultra-violet ray B (UVB) that reaches earth surface. So, more pollutant areas lead to less UVB passage and consequently, 25 (OH) vitamin D cutaneous syntheses reduces. The research was carried out to study the effect of some biological, behavioral, and environmental factors on vitamin D level among college adolescent females from Red Sea and Giza governorates. A convenient sample consisted of 151 first grade university female youth was selected. Written consent was an initial basic step. Vitamin D intake was assessed and serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH) D], and parathyroid hormone (PTH), were measured. Food intake was compared to the recommended dietary allowances. Results revealed that majority of respondents (92.0%) were veiled and exposed to sun at noon time and 61.0 % mentioned that sun- exposure took more than an hour. Waist circumference (WC) and waist to height ratio (WC to Ht) in Giza sample and increased fish consumption per week in Red Sea sample showed a positive effect on vitamin D status. Spring season had a negative influential effect on Giza participants. This study concluded that lack of sun exposure as the main cause of vitamin D deficiency in college female, there is also limited awareness of the association between sun exposure and vitamin D synthesis. Fresh air and good food practices could aid in solving health problems with such an influence as hypovitaminosis D. This study emphasized the need for further vitamin D assessment and intervention by supplementation or fortification of a staple food item. There is also an urgent need for public education to improve vitamin D- related practice and to minimize health hazards of improper exposure to UV B rays.
空气污染的程度与到达地球表面的太阳紫外线B (UVB)的数量呈负相关。因此，更多的污染区域导致较少的UVB通过，因此，25 (OH)维生素D的皮肤合成减少。本研究旨在研究一些生物、行为和环境因素对红海省和吉萨省女大学生维生素D水平的影响。选取151名大学一年级女青年作为方便样本。书面同意是最初的基本步骤。评估维生素D摄入量，测定血清钙、磷、碱性磷酸酶、25-羟基维生素D [25(OH) D]和甲状旁腺激素(PTH)。将食物摄入量与推荐的膳食允许量进行比较。调查结果显示，大部份受访者(92.0%)在中午会蒙上面纱及日晒，61.0%受访者表示日晒时间超过一小时。吉萨样本的腰围(WC)和腰高比(WC to Ht)和红海样本每周增加的鱼类食用量对维生素D水平有积极影响。春季对吉萨的参与者有负面影响。这项研究得出的结论是，缺乏阳光照射是导致大学女生维生素D缺乏的主要原因，人们对阳光照射与维生素D合成之间关系的认识也很有限。新鲜空气和良好的饮食习惯可以帮助解决诸如维生素D缺乏症等健康问题。这项研究强调需要通过补充或强化主食来进一步评估和干预维生素D。此外，迫切需要进行公众教育，以改善与维生素D有关的做法，并尽量减少不当暴露于紫外线B射线对健康的危害。

Tsativa seeds (NSS) and their combination on hyperuricemia. Thirty male albino rats assigned to five groups (n=6). The first these fed on the standard diet as normal control rats. The other rats (n=24), received a basal diet including a 20g /kg diet potassium oxonate to create hyperuricemia. Then ill rats divided into four groups. The hyperuricemic control group and three groups treated with added to their diet 10% QS; 4% NSS and mix from10% QS plus 4%NSS respectively. After that, the researcher calculated the biological status and estimated biochemical analysis. The results appear that high uric acid groups, in which feeding remedy diets showed no significant variation in biological parameters compared with the normal rats. The same groups indicated a significant improvement in renal function when compared with the injury group. Likewise, rising kidney tissues antioxidant status “superoxide dismutase; catalase and glutathione transferase" and decrease "malondialdehyde and interleukin-1 (IL-6)". Also, the mixture diet increased antioxidant activity. This study concluded that QS and NSS may improve kidney function and may reduce oxidative stress. This article recommended that special meals of hyperuricemic patients supplemented by a blend of QS and NSS.

This article recommended that special meals of hyperuricemic patients supplemented by a blend of QS and NSS.","PeriodicalId":9493,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the National Nutrition Institute of the Arab Republic of Egypt","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90314033","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}
ce cream is one of the main dairy products and a nutritionally food. It is one of the favorite food items to a large segment of the population particularly by children. This study investigates to hygienic quality of ice cream through the application of Food Safety System. Ninety samples were collected during the production of ice cream. Thirty samples were collected before the application of the system; thirty samples were collected after the application of the system and thirty samples were collected from swabs. The samples were examined for the presence of, coliforms, fecal coliforms, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, mold, and yeast count. The obtained results indicated that the microbial count of samples before the application of the Food Safety System was higher than those after the application of the system. They ranged between 1.2 x 106 to 1.8 x 103, 8.0 x 101 to negative, 2 x 102 to negative, 7.0 x 102 to 1.9 x 102 and 2.4 x 105 to 2.3 x 103 / gm in the packaging stage at aerobic total count, coliforms, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, mold and yeast count respectively, while fecal coliforms were not detected in both before and after system application.
