Food irradiation is a worldwide technology that aims to improve the product quality, in order to eliminate diverse microorganisms that can spoil the food. Irradiation processing, in the recommended doses, causes very few chemical alterations in foods, nutritional losses are considered insignificant and some of the alterations known found in irradiated foods is not harmful or dangerous. The objective of this work was to evaluate physical characteristics of in nature peach palm, such as color and texture, after combination of e-beam processing and refrigeration.

It should be stable for at least two years. CNQX is supplied as a crystalline solid. A stock solution may be made by dissolving the CNQX in the solvent of choice. CNQX is soluble in organic solvents such as DMSO and dimethyl formamide (DMF), which should be purged with an inert gas. The solubility of CNQX in these solvents is approximately 5 and 12 mg/ml, respectively. CNQX is sparingly soluble in aqueous buffers. For maximum solubility in aqueous buffers, CNQX should first be dissolved in DMF and then diluted with the aqueous buffer of choice. CNQX has a solubility of approximately 0.5 mg/ml in a 1:1 solution of DMF:PBS (pH 7.2) using this method. We do not recommend storing the aqueous solution for more than one day. CNQX is a competitive, non-NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist (IC50s = 0.3 and 1.5 μM for AMPA and kainate 1,2 receptors, respectively, versus IC50 = 25 μM for NMDA receptors). This compound has been used to specifically target AMPA and kainate receptor responses and thus differentiate from that of NMDA receptors.

  • An Investigation Into Pro-Apoptotic Targets in Experimental Glaucoma and the Neuroprotective Effects of Ginkgo Biloba in Retinal Ganglion Cells
    An investigation into pro-apoptotic targets in experimental glaucoma and the neuroprotective effects of Ginkgo biloba in retinal ganglion cells Abeir Baltmr MB ChB, FRCS (Glasg) A thesis submitted to University College London for the degree of Doctor of Medicine (Research) 2012 Glaucoma and Retinal Neurodegeneration Research Group Visual Neuroscience Institute of Ophthalmology 1 Declaration I, Abeir Baltmr, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Abeir Baltmr 2 Abstract Ginkgo biloba has been advocated as a neuroprotective agent for several years in glaucoma. In this study, immunohistochemistry was used to identify known potential molecular targets of Ginkgo biloba related to retinal ganglion cell (RGC) apoptosis in experimental glaucoma, including amyloid precursor protein (APP), Aß, cytochrome c, caspase-3 and tumor necrosis factor receptor-1 (TNF-R1). Furthermore, using apoptotic inducers related to mechanisms implicated in glaucoma, namely Dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), ultraviolet C (UVC) and Sodium Azide (NaN3), the effects of the terpenoid fraction of Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgolide A, Ginkgolide B and Bilobalide) were investigated separately in cultured retinal ganglion cells (RGC-5). Cell viability was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and morphological analysis of DMSO treated RGC-5 was performed using Hoechst 33342 stain. Immunohistochemistry showed a strong inverse correlation between Aß and APP in ocular hypertension (OHT) animals, with APP and Aß accumulation peaking at 1 and 12 weeks after intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation respectively. Cytochrome c and TNF-R1 expression peaked at 3 weeks, and active caspase 3 activity at 12 weeks after IOP elevation.

    Thesis in The Date Of Tomb TT 254 Verification Through Analysis of its Scenes Thesis in The Date of Tomb TT 254 Verification through Analysis of its Scenes Sahar Mohamed Abd el-Rahman Ibrahim Faculty of Archeology, Cairo University, Egypt Abstract: This paper extrapolates and reaches an approximate date of the TOMB of TT 254, the tomb of Mosi (Amenmose) (TT254), has not been known to Egyptologists until year 1914, when it was taken up from modern occupants by the Antiquities Service, The tomb owner is Mosi , the Scribe of the treasury and custodian of the estate of queen Tiye in the domain of Amun This tomb forms with two other tombs (TT294-TT253) a common courtyard within Al-Khokha necropolis. Because the Titles/Posts of the owner of this tomb indicated he was in charge of the estate of Queen Tiye, no wonder a cartouche of this Queen were written among wall paintings. Evidently, this tomb’s stylistic features of wall decorations are clearly influenced by the style of Amarna; such as the male figures with prominent stomachs, and elongated heads, these features refer that tomb TT254 has been finished just after the reign of Amenhotep IV (Akhenatun). Table stands between the deceased and Osiris which is divided into two parts: the first part (as a tray) is loading with offerings, then the other is a bearer which consisted of two stands shaped as pointed pyramids… based on the connotations: 1- Offerings tables. 2- Offerings Bearers. 3- Anubis. 4- Mourners. 5- Reclamation of land for cultivation. 6- Banquet in some noble men tombs at Thebes through New Kingdom era.

In China and Japan Ganoderma lucidum has been used in folk medicine, commonly in the treatment of neurasthenia, insomnia, hepatopathy, nephritis, gastric ulcers, asthma, and hypertension. In this study we have evaluated the effect of Ganoderma lucidum on hematological parameters in Wistar rats. The extract was given orally by gavage at the dose of 150 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg body weight. The result of our study shows extremely significant increase in the hemoglobin level, platelet count and leukocyte count more specifically at a dose of 150 mg/kg of Ganoderma lucidum extract when compare with normal control group. However, at a dose of 300 mg/kg of GLE, significant increase in hemoglobin level and extremely significant increase in leukocyte count were observed. Whereas, insignificant result was observed at both the doses of GLE in case of hematocrit level, MCV, MCHC, MCH and RBC count.

  • Role of Oxidative Stress and Neuroinflammation in Attention
    antioxidants Review Role of Oxidative Stress and Neuroinflammation in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Juan Carlos Corona Laboratory of Neurosciences, Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez, Mexico City 06720, Mexico; [email protected]; Tel.: +52-55-5228-9917 Received: 27 July 2020; Accepted: 8 September 2020; Published: 23 October 2020 Abstract: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder of childhood. Although abnormalities in several brain regions and disturbances of the catecholaminergic pathway have been demonstrated, the pathophysiology of ADHD is not completely understood, but as a multifactorial disorder, has been associated with an increase in oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. This review presents an overview of factors that increase oxidative stress and neuroinflammation. The imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants and also the treatment with medications are two factors that can increase oxidative damage, whereas the comorbidity between ADHD and inflammatory disorders, altered immune response, genetic and environmental associations, and polymorphisms in inflammatory-related genes can increase neuroinflammation. Evidence of an association with these factors has become valuable for research on ADHD. Such evidence opens up new intervention routes for the use of natural products as antioxidants that could have potential as a treatment against oxidative stress and neuroinflammation in ADHD.

Caiati,* Sudhir Sivakumaran,* and Enrico Cherubini Neuroscience Programme, International School for Advanced Studies, 34014 Trieste, Italy Presynaptic kainate receptors regulate synaptic transmission in several brain areas but are not known to have this action at immature mossy fiber (MF) terminals, which during the first week of postnatal life release GABA, which exerts into targeted cells a depolarizing and excitatory action. Here, we report that, during the first week of postnatal life, endogenous activation of GluK1 receptors by glutamate present in the extracellular space severely depresses MF-mediated GABAergic currents [GABAA-mediated postsynaptic currents (GPSCs)]. Activation of GluK1 receptors was prevented by treating the slices with enzymatic glutamate scavengers that enhanced the clearance of glutamate from the extracellular space. The depressant effect of GluK1 on MF-GPSCs was mediated by a metabotropic process sensitive to pertussis toxin. In the presence of U73122 (1-[6-[[(17b)-3-methoxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-yl]amino]hexyl]-1H- pyrrole-2,5-dione), a selective inhibitor of phospholipase C, along the transduction pathway downstream to G-protein, GluK1 activation increased the probability of GABA release, thus unveiling the ionotropic action of this receptor. In line with this type of action, we found that GluK1 enhanced MF excitability by directly depolarizing MF terminals via calcium-permeable cation channels. Furthermore, GluK1 dynamically regulated the direction of spike time-dependent plasticity occurring by pairing MF stimulation with postsynaptic spiking and switched spike time-dependent potentiation into depression.
