The general performance characteristics of the sensor are presented here. The proposed sensor showed a wide working pH range, a good sensitivity and selectivity. The response range is between 1 0×10 -7 -4 9×10 -5 mol/L with a detection limit of 8×10 -8 mol/L at pH 4 0. The selectivity should be attributed to the preferential adsorption of the component ion on the membrane/solution interface. The adsorption behavior of vitamin B 1 on the crystal surface was investigated with a quartz crystal impedance(QCI) system.展开更多

These microparticles include: alginate and alginate CMC microcapsules prepared by emulsion coacervation process (ECP), alginate and gelatin microcapsules prepared by spray drying process (SDP), and alginate microbound. The results show these five microparticulate forms of VB 1 can reduce leaching significantly compared to crystalline form VB 1, and the leaching rates at different intervals, diameters and encapsulation efficiencies ( EE ) are significantly different among all kinds of microparticles (ANOVA, P <0.05). The leaching properties of the five microparticles are in accord with Higuchi equation. Based on the regression equation, the half loss time ( T 50 ) is determined.In conclusion, the alginate CMC microencapsule is a potential tool to reduce leaching of water soluble vitamins.展开更多

Methods Fifty male Kunming mice were randomly divided into 5 groups： normal, acute hypoxia, acute hypoxia with 2, 4 and 8 time- vitamins B1, B2, and PP supplementation . All mice were fed with corresponding diets for two weeks and then were exposed to a simulated altitude of 6 000 meters for 8 h, except for the normal group. Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis was used to identify the changes of serum metabolic profiles. Results There were significant changes in some serum metabolites under induced acute hypoxia, essentially relative increase in the concentrations of lactate, sugar and lipids and decrease in ethanol. The serum levels of choline, succinate, taurine, alanine, and glutamine also increased and phosphocholine decreased in the acute hypoxia group. After vitamins B1, B2, and PP supplementation, all these metabolic changes gradually recovered. Conclusion Significant changes in serum metabolic profile were observed by metabolomics in mice exposed to acute hypoxia, and vitamins B1, B2, and PP supplementation proved to be beneficial to improving some metabolic pathways. It is suggested that the dietary intakes of vitamins B1, B2, and PP should be increased under hypoxia condition.展开更多

Recent studies have linked vitamin D to the pathogenesis of diabetes and there is growing evidence that vitamin D can interfere with the mechanisms involved in diabetes and its complications. Despite improvements in treatment, diabetic retinopathy remains a significant complication of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Identification of early treatable predictors of diabetic retinopathy such as vitamin D deficiency, may allow more aggressive management of those at high risk. Purpose: To assess the association of vitamin D deficiency with diabetic retinopathy in young people with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Design: Observational study with case control design. Method: 60 young people with type 1 diabetes aged between 11 to 24 years were included in this study. Among them, 30-young people have diabetic retinopathy and 30-young people do not have diabetic retinopathy. Purposive sampling technique was applied as per inclusion criteria. Statistical analysis of the results was done by using computer-based software, SPSS version 26. P value of less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Vitamin D deficiency was present in 83% of the young people with diabetic retinopathy and in 53% without diabetic retinopathy. The mean vitamin D level in young people with and without diabetic retinopathy was 17.38 ± 3.77 ng/ml and 20.15 ± 5.06 ng/ml respectively and the difference was statistically significant (p = 0.019). Vitamin D deficiency was increased with the severity of diabetic retinopathy. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression showed vitamin D deficiency was independently associated with diabetic retinopathy with a crude odds ratio of 5.69 with a p value of 0.008 and adjusted odds ratio of 16.08 with a p value of 0.002 respectively. Conclusion: Result of the study revealed that vitamin D deficiency was strongly associated with diabetic retinopathy in young people with type 1 diabetes mellitus.展开更多
