OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to determine the habits and barriers to a healthy lifestyle in order to determine the need for workplace interventions at De Beers Venetia Mine (DB-VM) to decrease the risk for CDL and optimise employee wellness. DESIGN: An analytical, cross-sectional, observational study. SAMPLING: A representative proportional stratified sample of 88 permanent employees at DB-VM was randomly selected to participate in the study. The sample was stratified according to work-shift configuration and occupational category. -

IP address: hypercholesterolaemic and heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemic subjects 170.106.40.139 A. Greyling, C. De Witt, W. Oosthuizen and J. C. Jerling* , on School of Physiology, Nutrition and Consumer Sciences, North-West University (Potchefstroom Campus), South Africa 25 Sep 2021 at 08:49:47 (Received 28 June 2005 – Revised 28 November 2005 – Accepted 2 December 2005) Policosanol is a mixture of higher aliphatic primary alcohols that is extracted from purified sugar cane wax or a variety of other plant sources, and has been shown to have beneficial effects on serum lipid concentrations. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a policosanol , subject to the Cambridge Core terms of use, available at supplement (Octa-60) on lipid profiles of hypercholesterolaemic and heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemic subjects. Nineteen hypercholes- terolaemic and familial hypercholesterolaemic subjects completed this randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. The subjects received either a daily dose of 20 mg policosanol or placebo for 12 weeks. After a wash-out period of 4 weeks, the interventions were crossed over. Lipid levels were measured at baseline and at the end of each intervention period. No significant differences in total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol from baseline to end or between policosanol and placebo were seen in the hypercholesterolaemic or familial hypercholesterolaemic groups. There were small reductions in total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol from baseline to end in the hypercholesterolaemic group, but these changes did not differ significantly from the changes with the placebo, indicating that the observed decrease in cholesterol in the policosanol group was not due to the specific effect of policosanol treatment. -

M. B. 1123 Calabar - Cross River State, Nigeria. ABSTRACT: Our review highlights the most recent developments in ionic liquid (IL) chemistry where the “well-known” description of IL properties sometimes proves to be inaccurate. However, in the authors’ opinion, all these new research developments concerning ionic liquid properties serve to update knowledge on the typical physical and chemical properties of ILs, which is significant to both theoretical research and industrial applications. Therefore, rather than attempting to give a comprehensive overview of ionic liquid chemistry, the paper presents an opportunity to understand deep eutectic solvents (DES) through a more complete and accurate view . © JASEM https://dx.doi.org/10.4314/jasem.v21i5.29 Keywords : Eutectic; Solvents; Electrochemistry; Ionic Liquids; purification; Ethylene glycol. Since environmental pollution caused by chemical mixed with different hydrogen bond donors (HBDs) and energy industries has increased for several such as urea, ethylene glycol, acetamide or decades, there is high expectation from scientists and hexanediol (type IV DES). engineers to design sustainable chemical processes, to generate less harmful materials and more Owing to its low cost, biodegradability and low environmentally friendly sources of energy toxicity, ChCl was widely used as an organic salt to production. -

POLICOSANOL NATURALLY HEALTHFUL FROM THE INSIDE & OUT …from sugarcane wax presented by Authors: Muhammed Majeed, Ph.D. & Lakshmi Prakash, Ph.D. [email protected] www.sabinsa.com www.sabinsacosmetics.com WHAT IS POLICOSANOL? Policosanol is a natural mixture of higher aliphatic alcohols, found in plant waxes. Sugarcane wax is a common commercial source. The components of policosanol include 1-octacosanol, 1- dotriacontanol, 1-tetracosanol, 1-tetratria-contanol, 1-hexacosanol, 1- heptacosanol and 1-nonacosanol. This mixture of alcohols is clinically proven to be effective in maintaining normal cholesterol levels. Preclinical and clinical studies published in scientific literature reveal that Policosanol beneficially influences cholesterol metabolism (Gouni-Berthold, 2002; Menindez, 1994; Menindez, 1996). The healthful role of policosanol in cosmetic and personal care formulations is described in a recent US Patent (Majeed, et al., 2007) that details a solvent free extraction process for policosanol from natural sources. This patent describes an innovative process for producing commercial quantities of policosanol containing 70 to 95 percent C28 fatty alcohol (Octacosanol) along with other lower chain length fatty alcohols, for use in cosmeceutical applications designed to control sebum, inhibit the growth of microbes and promote hydration and softening of the skin. Moreover, the process of extraction is solvent free so that it has low environmental impact. © 2007 Sabinsa Corporation 2 of 13 CARDIOVASCULAR BENEFITS Effects on cholesterol metabolism (Gouni-Berthold, et al.; 2002) and antioxidant benefits that prevent the oxidation of LDL-cholesterol, are reported to be responsible for the healthful effects of policosanol (Menindez, et al., 2000). In clinical studies, `Policosanol was shown to be effective in lowering both total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the 'bad' cholesterol and to increase levels of the 'good' type of cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (Gouni- Berthold, et al.; 2002). -
