Monitoring the variations of lycopene and antioxidant content of wild cherry tomatoes under processing: Case study
The antioxidant content, activity, and colour of two commercially grown tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum L. var. Excell and Aranca) grown hydroponically in glasshouses were examined. Excell tomatoes were picked and stored separately, whereas cultivar Aranca was harvested by chopping the vine, which held a cluster of eight tomatoes. Both tomato cultivars were maintained in the dark at 15°C for four days in order to replicate normal pre-purchase storage conditions. The antioxidant content of the raw tomatoes varied significantly after four days of storage, but the cut inner surfaces of the two cultivars showed similar CIE LAB colour values. Subsamples of each cultivar were boiled, baked, fried, or subjected to total phenolics, lycopene, boiling, or baking for four days after which the CIE colour, ascorbic acid, and antioxidant activity (as determined by the ABTS assay) were assessed. Boiling and baking had little effect on the cultivars' ascorbic, lycopene, and antioxidant activity, but frying significantly reduced (Po0:001) the ascorbic, total phenolic, and lycopene contents of the two cultivars. Chromatic colour analysis showed that both cultivars significantly (Po0:001) darkened and lost their redness after cooking using all techniques. In a second trial, the two tomato varieties were cut into slices and submerged for 20 minutes in either an olive oil and white vinegar combination or the mixture and white vinegar alone. The CIE colours of the two cultivars remained unchanged throughout processing; however, the application of both the oil and vinegar treatments separately and in combination reduced the amount of red in the colours (Po0:05). Following treatment with the oil and vinegar mixture, the two tomato cultivars showed a significant reduction in ascorbic acid, total phenolic, and antioxidant activity (Po0:001). The amount of lycopene that could be extracted from the tomatoes was significantly reduced when they were treated with oil; treatment with vinegar had no effec
Clinical characteristics and colposcopy appearance of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia
Background: Cervical cancer ranks as the second most prevalent cancer among women globally, particularly affecting those in economically disadvantaged regions. This study aimed to explore the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).
Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Colposcopy Center, Comilla Medical College Hospital, spanning from July 2015 to December 2015. Face-to-face interviews using a preformed questionnaire were employed for data collection. Inclusive criteria were followed for the enrolment of 200 participants, and a simple random sampling technique was utilized. Statistical analysis was planned in the SPSS program. Ethical clearance was obtained from the Comilla Medical College Hospital Ethical Review Committee to ensure confidentiality.
Results: Among the 200 women studied, 15% were aged 20-29, 42% were 30-39, 38% were 40-49, and 5% were >50 years old. Illiteracy was prevalent in 30%, with 50% having primary education. CIN incidence was higher among illiterates and those in poor socioeconomic status (55.56%). Early sexual exposure, longer duration of exposure, and higher parity correlated with increased CIN risk. Non-use of contraception was observed in 30% of women, with 44.44% exhibiting CIN. Clinical features included predominant complaints of P/V discharge and various bleeding patterns.
Conclusions: CIN prevalence was higher among 30-39-year-olds, emphasizing the impact of illiteracy, low socioeconomic status, early marriage, prolonged marital duration, high parity, and limited contraception use. Clinical manifestations primarily comprised P/V discharge and diverse bleeding patterns. This study underscores the need for targeted interventions addressing socio-demographic risk factors for effective cervical cancer prevention
Cyanobacterial species Biodiversity in Mahasamund district of Chhattisgarh region, India
Rice is the principal crop of the Chhattisgarh State. It covers 66% of all cultivable land and is mostly grown within the kharif cropping season. To increase sustained productivity without decreasing soil quality, algal bio fertilizers are widely used in the State. Hence, the culture of cyanobacterial bio fertilizers has been started on a regional basis. This includes survey, isolation and screening of stress-tolerant cyanobacteria. Thus, this study concerns the characterization of physical and chemical properties of soil collected from Mahasamund districts of Chhattisgarh state with respect to the biodiversity of cyanobacteria
Assessment of Cold Tolerance in Boro Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Genotypes During Germination for Enhanced Adaptability to Low Temperature Stress
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the cold tolerance ability of ten boro rice genotypes in the laboratory conditions for suitability of growing under low temperature stress. The experiment was laid out in Factorial CRD and the low temperature regimes was provided under controlled environment (Walk-in cold chamber by Saveer Biotech Limited) for germination studies that could maintain the specific low temperature. The experiment was conducted in the Department of Crop Physiology and Agricultural Biotechnology, Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat, Assam, India. The germination tests were conducted under four different temperature regimes where seed germination under ambient (T4=28 ± 0.2oC) was considered as control. Low-temperature treatments were provided by the growth chamber at three different levels of low temperature viz. (T3=10-12°C), (T2=7-9oC) and (T1=5-6°C). Per cent germination, germination index, shoot length, length of longest root and seed vigour index were considered for the study. The germination percent, germination index, shoot length, length of longest root and seed vigour index was recorded highest under ambient condition (T4) irrespective of all the genotypes. Seeds grown under T3 showed considerable germination values only after 28 days of germination studies, whereas T1 and T2 showed no germination. The study revealed that amongst all the ten genotypes, Kanaklata and Sona Mahsuri revealed superior performance in germination percentage, germination index, shoot length, length of the longest root and seed vigour index. In the correlation studies, germination % was significantly correlated with germination index, shoot length, length of the longest and SVI at 5% probability level. GI was also positively and significantly correlated with Shoot length (SL), Length of longest root (LLR) and Seed Vigour Index (SVI). The present study revealed that Sona Mahsuri and Kanaklata was found to be the ideal genotypes for germination under low temperature (10-12oC). Therefore, Farmers growing boro rice under low temperature regimes could take the opportunity of selecting the varieties viz. Kanaklata and Sona Mahsuri for higher yield
Pregnancy outcomes following supplementation of single dose GnRH agonist to sustain the luteal phase in antagonist fresh embryo transfer cycles: A multicentric prospective cohort study
Objective: To determine whether a single dose of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist administered subcutaneously in addition to the regular progesterone supplementation could provide a better luteal support in antagonist protocol fresh embryo transfer cycles.
Methods: This prospective, multicentric, cohort study included total 140 women, 70 in each group. Controlled ovarian stimulation was carried out as per fixed GnRH antagonist protocol. The trigger was given with hCG. In vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) was performed and day-3 embryos were transferred. Patients were divided into groups 1 and 2 based on computer generated randomization sheet. Six days following oocyte retrieval, group 1 received 0.2 mg decapeptyl subcutaneously in addition to regular progesterone support while group 2 received progesterone only. Luteal support was given for 14 days to both groups; if pregnancy was confirmed luteal support was continued till 12 weeks of gestation. The clinical pregnancy rate was the primary outcome. The implantation rate, miscarriage rate, live birth delivery rate, and multiple pregnancy rates were the secondary outcomes.
Results: A total of 140 patients were analysed, 70 in each group. Clinical pregnancy rates (47.1% vs. 35.7%; P=0.17), implantation rates (23.4% vs. 18.1%, P=0.24), live birth delivery rates (41.4% vs. 27.1%, P=0.08), and multiple pregnancy rates (21.2% vs. 16.0%, P=0.74) were higher in group 1 than in group 2. Group 1 had a lower miscarriage rate than group 2 (5.7% vs. 8.6%; P=0.75). However, these differences were not statistically significant between the two groups.
Conclusions: Administration of a single dose of GnRH agonist in addition to regular natural micronized vaginal progesterone as luteal support in GnRH antagonist protocol cycles marginally improves implantation rates, clinical pregnancy rates, and live birth delivery rates. However, more studies with higher sample sizes are needed before any conclusive statements about GnRH agonist as luteal phase support can be made
