This document discusses the role of nitric oxide in gastroprotection and ulcer healing. It begins by outlining the anatomy and functions of the stomach, as well as gastric defense mechanisms. It then discusses factors that can cause damage to the stomach lining and mechanisms of ulcer formation. A major section focuses on nitric oxide, its sources and production in the body, how it functions as a signaling molecule, and its roles in physiological gastroprotection and ulcer healing processes like inflammation, tissue remodeling and angiogenesis. The document concludes by recommending avoidance of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and Helicobacter pylori due to their ability to damage gastric protective factors, and emphasizes the multiple targets of nitric oxide in both maintaining a healthy gastric environment and facilitating
Synthesis of Calcium Silicate (Casio3) Using Calcium Fluoride, Quartz and Mic...IJERA Editor
油
Microbes like bacteria, algae, fungi and virus play an important role to catalyst chemical reactions. In Nature,
ores or minerals of different compounds are formed due to microbial environment and other factors like
weathering. Microbial environment is also instrumental in forming calcium containing silicate minerals.
Chemical reactions occur under microbial environment because microbes have the ability to control or modify
different factors like pH, chemical potential and temperature during reactions. In this paper, synthesis of calcium
silicate (CaSiO3) using calcium fluoride (CaF2) and quartz (SiO2) under microbial environment in a laboratory is
being adopted to produce the required material. XRD technique is used to confirm the formation of CaSiO3.

ABSTRACT- The present investigation was carried out to the effect of dimethoate on histopathological changes in
kidney of freshwater fish, Garra mullya. Fishes was exposed to sub lethal concentration of dimethoate (0.0238ppm of
96hrs.) for 7, 14, 21 days. Fishes exposed to dimethoate were characterized by loosening of haemopoietic tissue,
uriniferous tubules have lost their original appearance, vacuolated cytoplasm, degeneration in the epithelial cells of renal
tubule, narrowing of the tubular lumen and damaged glomeruli. The lesions in the vital organ might have resulted in
physiological and metabolical dysregulations. In chronic treatment of dimethoate exposure may pose serious threat to fish
health and affect their population. Key-words- Dimethoate, Histopathology, Kidney, Garra mullya
Biochemistry of geo microbes & Biomineralizationsuman verma

This document discusses biomineralization by geomicrobes. It defines biomineralization as a process where living organisms influence mineral precipitation. There are two types: biologically induced mineralization, where minerals nucleate and grow extracellularly due to metabolic byproducts; and biologically controlled mineralization, where microbes exert active control over mineral nucleation and growth within intracellular compartments. Examples given include magnetite formation by magnetotactic bacteria through biologically controlled mineralization within intracellular vesicles. Biomineralization has significance for applications like bioremediation of metal-contaminated water.
This document discusses three topics related to industrial biotechnology:
Protein engineering, which involves manipulating protein structures to produce desired properties or synthesizing proteins with specific structures. Nitrogen fixation, a process where atmospheric nitrogen is converted to ammonia by nitrogen-fixing bacteria, which is essential for biosynthesis in living organisms. And livestock, domesticated animals raised for commodities like meat and milk, where biotechnology can be used to improve quality attributes and productivity.
1) Nitrogen is essential for life but is inert in the atmosphere. Microorganisms play a key role in converting atmospheric nitrogen into organic nitrogen compounds through processes like nitrogen fixation.
2) The nitrogen cycle describes how nitrogen is transformed between its various chemical forms through biological and environmental processes. It involves nitrogen fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification.
3) Key microorganisms are involved in nitrogen fixation (converting N2 to organic nitrogen), ammonification (production of ammonia from organic matter), nitrification (conversion of ammonia to nitrites and nitrates), and denitrification (reduction of nitrates back to nitrogen gas). This allows nitrogen to be recycled for use by plants
This document discusses microbial surfactants, also known as biosurfactants. It begins by defining surfactants and their ability to lower surface tension. Both synthetic and natural (biosurfactants) exist. Biosurfactants have advantages over synthetic surfactants like biodegradability and low toxicity. They have applications in industries like petroleum recovery, food, and pharmaceuticals. Biosurfactant production is affected by nutrients sources like carbon and nitrogen as well as temperature and aeration. The document classifies biosurfactants based on their chemical composition and producing microorganism. It provides examples of different types of biosurfactants and their producing microbes. In conclusion, biosurfactants show promise

Anti-inflammatory doc effects of Lactobacillus brevis CD2 on periodontal diseaseMerqurioEditore_redazione
油
This study investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of Lactobacillus brevis on periodontitis. 21 patients with chronic periodontitis received L. brevis-containing lozenges and were examined before and after treatment. The treatment led to disappearance or improvement of all clinical parameters in all patients. Saliva samples showed decreased levels of nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, matrix metalloproteinases, and interferon-粒 after treatment. In vitro experiments on macrophages suggested the anti-inflammatory effects were due to L. brevis's arginine deiminase preventing nitric oxide generation by competing for the same substrate as nitric oxide synthase. These results provide insights into periodontitis and suggest L.
Antioxidant potentials of tannic acid on lipid peroxidation induced by severa...Premier Publishers
油
Various prospective studies have indicated the antioxidant potency of tannic acid in several models. However, there is no clear-cut evidence revealing that the reported antioxidant properties of tannic acid remains potent regardless of the lipid sources and pro-oxidants employed for the oxidative assault. Hence, this study sought to investigate the antioxidant properties of tannic acid against cerebral and hepatic lipid peroxidation induced by several pro-oxidants (Iron (II) sulfate, Sodium nitroprusside, cyclophosphamide and acetaminophen) in vitro. Rats were decapitated under mild ether anesthesia and the tissues were rapidly dissected, placed on ice, weighed and immediately homogenized in cold 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4 (1/10, w/v). The homogenates were centrifuged for 10 min at 4000 g to yield a pellet that was discarded and a low-speed supernatant (S1). Our results indicated that Fe (II) showed the highest pro-oxidative effects in both tissues lipids. Furthermore, tannic acid demonstrated potent inhibitory effects against lipid peroxidation in both tissues lipids regardless of the pro-oxidant employed. To this end, there is a dire need to exploit the protective benefits of tannic acid as a potential exogenous antioxidant against lipid peroxidation with a view to providing solution to the global oxidative stress menace.
Oxidative stress is described as the imbalance between pro-oxidants (Reactive oxygen species) and antioxidants levels commonly called redox imbalance. It occurs in a discrete step-wise process of initiation, propagation, and termination stages via the generation of free radicals. These steps bring about effects that have contributed to hypertension through endothelial dysfunction, reduced bioavailability of Nitric oxide, atherosclerotic plaque formation, and reduction of toxic oxidants. Hence, oxidative stress mechanism is implicated in hypertension and thus, the daily intake of antioxidants-containing foods and products to supplement depleted endogenous antioxidants is recommended.
N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is an antioxidant that can reduce extracellular cystine and stimulate glutathione synthesis. It has various metabolic effects such as improving insulin sensitivity and protecting vascular integrity. Studies show NAC is effective in improving ovulation when used as an adjuvant to clomiphene citrate in women with polycystic ovary syndrome or those undergoing infertility treatments. NAC may increase fertility outcomes and decrease the amount of fertility medications needed. Adverse effects are mild and include nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.
This study investigated the gastroprotective effects of coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in indomethacin-induced gastric injury in rats and the role of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9). Rats pretreated with CoQ10 before indomethacin showed significantly reduced gastric damage, increased prostaglandin E2 levels, and decreased MMP-9 and myeloperoxidase activities compared to rats given indomethacin alone. Pretreating rats with a nitric oxide inhibitor before CoQ10 attenuated the gastroprotective effect of CoQ10. The results suggest that regulation of MMP-9 is one mechanism of CoQ10's gastroprotective effect and that
This document describes a study that characterized two glycolytic enzymes - glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) and enolase (ENO) - found on the outer surface of the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum 299v. The enzymes were found to specifically bind plasminogen, fibronectin, and intestinal epithelial cells. GAPDH also weakly bound mucin. Both enzymes bound to intestinal epithelial cells in a pH-dependent manner. Several probiotic and non-probiotic Lactobacillus strains were also analyzed but no correlation was found between the presence of these surface enzymes and probiotic status.
This document discusses the role of gut microbiota and dysbiosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It notes that dysbiosis, or an imbalance in gut bacteria, can lead to increased production of short-chain fatty acids which promote hepatic lipogenesis and gluconeogenesis. Dysbiosis also increases intestinal permeability and bacterial translocation, activating toll-like receptors and causing inflammation in the liver through cytokines and chemokines. Other effects include decreased levels of the fasting-induced adipose factor, increased lipoprotein lipase activity, and impaired choline and bile acid metabolism. Modulating the gut microbiota through prebiotics, probiotics, or fecal microbiota transplantation may be a potential

The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of selenium and vitamin E on gastric mucosal
damage and acid secretion induced water immersion restraint stress (WRS) in Wistar rats. (n= 70) Wistar rats
of both sexes, weighing 200-220 g were divided in to five groups of seven rats each, viz: (i) passive control
(non-stress rats), (ii) active control (WRS + distilled water), (iii) WRS + vitamin E, (iv) WRS + vitamin E +
selenium, and (v) WRS + selenium. The WRS procedure lasted for 3.5 hours. Gastric tissues were isolated and
investigated macroscopically and histologically to determine mucosal damage. Gastric secretion was collected
after additional 3 hours of pyloric ligation. Blood samples were collected through cardiac puncture for the
investigation of plasma concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA). The result demonstrated that acute WRS
significantly (P < 0.001) increase gastric ulcer and gastric secretion parameters as well as MDA concentration.
Pre-treatment with selenium or vitamin E significantly lowered the gastric parameters and MDA concentration
especially in rats co-administered with selenium and vitamin E. It was concluded that acute WRS exposure
causes significant alteration in the structure of the gastric tissue and increased plasma MDA. Pre-treatment
with selenium and vitamin E ameliorated the adverse effects of WRS, and co-administration of selenium and
vitamin E exerted synergistic effects in the restoration of WRS-induced changes

The document discusses the relationship between nutrition and periodontal disease. It covers several topics:
1) Nutrition can directly and indirectly impact the plaque biofilm by providing nutrients for bacterial growth and metabolism, and by influencing the production of bacterial byproducts.
2) Nutritional status interacts with the immune response, which is critical for managing the bacterial challenge of periodontal disease. Deficiencies of proteins, vitamins, and minerals can impair immune function.
3) Specific deficiencies, such as in protein, vitamins C and D, zinc, and iron have been linked to increased risk and severity of periodontal disease by negatively impacting the immune response. Maintaining adequate nutritional status is important for periodontal and overall health.
1) The study examined the effects of probiotic supplementation with Lactobacillus paracasei or Lactobacillus rhamnosus on gut bacteria composition and host metabolism in humanized extended genome mice.
2) Probiotic exposure altered the gut microbiome and resulted in changes to hepatic lipid metabolism, lowered plasma lipoprotein levels, and stimulated glycolysis. It also impacted amino acid metabolism, methylamines, and short-chain fatty acid levels.

gas
NO can be transported to the target cell due to its following features
It is small, lipid-soluble, uncharged and the half life is less than
30sec in living systems, hence capable of diffusing through the
cellmembrane
It interact with thiol groups forming Nitrosothiols (SNO) (Nitin et
al, 2011).

11. SOURCES OF NITRIC OXIDESOURCES OF NITRIC OXIDE
1. NO can be produced from L-arginine by NOS (Nitin et al, 2011)
2. Also dietary nitrate is reduced in the oral cavity to nitrite by bacterial
reductase (Duncan et al, 1995) yielding NO after acidification in
gastric lumen (McKnight et al, 1997)
3. NO can as well be produced from nitrite and nitrate during hypoxic
condition by Xanthine oxidoreductase enzyme.
4. H2O2 react with arginine producing NO (Nagase et al, 1997)
5. NO is produced in the colon by anaerobic bacteria (Brittain et al,
1992).
1,2 and 3 above are enzyme dependent while 3 and 4 are non-enzyme
dependent.

22. RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSIONRECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION
NSAIDs and H. pylori are capable of enormous erosion of
gastro-protective agents and should best be avoided.
The mechanism of NO protection in normal gastric
conditions include mucus, acid, bicarbonate and
prostaglandins secretion, while re-epithelialization, tissue
remodelling, angiogenesis etc which are the major
processes involved in gastric injury healing remains the
same target for NO gastro-protections.
Hence, clinical development of NO-NSAIDs has newly
been introduced but still has to be completed before its
potentials in human can be fully validated; even though the
available pre-clinical and clinical data are encouraging.

#9: Gastric ulcer formatted by Helicobacter pylori. (1) H. pylori catalyzes urea hydrolysis
with the formation of ammonium (NH3) that neutralizes the surrounding gastric acid and
protects itself from the strong acidicity of the stomach. (2) H. pylori penetrates the mucus
layer of stomach, adhere the surface of gastric mucosal epithelial cells, proliferate and finally
form the infectious focus. The gastric lesion is developed by destruction of mucosa.

#16: NSAIDs cause adhesion of circulating neutrophil and hence the latter clogs the microvasculature causing a local decrease in mucosal blood flow and a marked release of tissue damaging factor including proteolytic enzymes and luekotriene, which enhances vascular tone, exacerbate tissue ischeamia, stimulate the production of ROS, and promote the destruction of intestinal matrix, leading to a severe degree of focal tissue necrosis,particularly in the presence of a low luminal pH. Most NSAIDs converge on the COX-independent gastric mucosal injury path becos they are weakly acidic. Since they are protonophoric in nature, they penetrate cell membrane and accumulate into epithelial cells, where the inner pH is is at a physiological level of 7.4. At this level, they (e.g. aspirin) dissociate and remain segregated within cell. This accumulation enhances the inhibition of prostaglandin biosysnthesis, uncouple mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. The latter leads to decrease in ATP production and an increase in ADP and AMP levels, which are then responsible for increments of intracellular calcium concentration . These changes are followed by mitochondrial injury, increased generation of ROS and alterations in the Na+/ k+ balance which lead to weakening of the mucosal barrier and cellular necrosis (Wallace, 2001). NSAIDs also destroy the integrity of epithelial tight junction by down-regulating Claudin-7, a member of the claudin protein family, which play important roles in the formation of tight junctions. (Oshima et al., 2008).
#18: Foam cells produce proinflammatory cytokines that are released into the lumen of blood vessel (far right). Increased
ROS production through iNOS leads to increased ROS generation. Steps involved in leukocyte adhesion and migration (bottom left).
Hyperglycemic effects on the blood vessel. Atherosclerotic plaque formation initiated through uptake of LDL from blood by
endothelial cells. Foam cells produce proinflammatory cytokines that are released into the lumen of blood vessel (far right). Increased glucose leads to decreased L-arginine and BH4, which leads to decreased NO production in endothelial cells. All of these factors
are proinflammatory and atherogenic.
