TL;DR: This study showed that the AM has both angiogenic and anti-angiogenic properties, which is surface dependent, therefore, the AM can have a vast application in both ischemic organs through inducing angiogenesis and pathological situations such as cancer in whichAngiogenesis must be inhibited.

TL;DR: It is indicated that daily administration of 1500 mg curcumin has positive effects in reducing fasting blood glucose and weight in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorders in human and affect a lot of people around the world. Curcumin is a component of turmeric and in many studies therapeutic effects such as anti-hypertensive, anti-hyperlipidemia, anti-hyperglycemia for this substance are shown. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of curcumin supplementation on anthropometric indices glycemic control and oxidative stress in overweight patients with type 2 diabetes. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 53 participants with type 2 diabetes were divided randomly into the experimental and control groups to receive either 1500 mg curcumin or placebo capsule three times in a day for 10 weeks. Supplementation with curcumin in type 2 diabetes compare to placebo causes a significant changes in mean weight (− 0.64 ± 0.22 vs. 0.19 ± 0.37 p < 0.05), body mass index (BMI) (0.3 ± 0.03 vs. 0.1 ± 0 p < 0.05), waist circumference (WC) (− 1.2 ± 0.4 vs. − 0.43 ± 0.11 p < 0.05) and fasting blood sugar (FBS) (− 7 ± 2 vs. 3 ± 0.2 p < 0.05) but did not show any difference for hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), insulin, malondialdehyde (MDA), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) and pancreatic B cell function (HOMA-B) at end of study. This study indicated that daily administration of 1500 mg curcumin has positive effects in reducing fasting blood glucose and weight in patients with type 2 diabetes. Trial registration NCT02529982.

TL;DR: The finding of this study showed that total mean of sulfur dioxide was higher than standard concentration, and obnoxious quality of fuel and some deficiencies in maintenance and operation of industries lead to worse quality of ambient air especially in 2013.
Abstract: There is no doubt that air pollutants have adverse impacts on human health. The main objective of this study was to evaluate hospital admission respiratory disease (HARD) attributed to sulfur dioxide levels in Ahvaz during three successive years. Data was taken from Iranian Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The AirQ2,2,3 model is used to quantify the impact of SO2 on inhabitants of Ahvaz and in terms of hospital admission respiratory diseases. This is a kind of statistical model which is based on some epidemiological indices such as relative risk, baseline incidence, and attributable proportion. Sampling was already performed for 24 h in four stations during 2011–2013. Four stations are good representative for residential, high traffic, industry, and background sites which cover the whole area of the Ahvaz city. Regarding to gravimetric scale, raw data of sulfur dioxide was processed using Excel software. Encoding, filtering, and processing were conducted to prepare input file for the Air Q2,2,3 model. After running model, outputs presented in term of hospital admissions respiratory cases. Based on our result, the highest mean and maximum of seasonal and annual levels for sulfur dioxide were observed in 2013. We concluded that obnoxious quality of fuel and some deficiencies in maintenance and operation of industries lead to worse quality of ambient air especially in 2013. Cumulative cases of HARD attributed to sulfur dioxide level at central of relative risk (RR) were estimated 24, 25, and 30 persons for 2011, 2012, and 2013, respectively. The finding of this study showed that total mean of sulfur dioxide was higher than standard concentration. We also noticed that wintertime concentrations of sulfur dioxide during three successive years were higher than of those levels in summer.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of addition of two species of microalgae including Arthrospira platensis and Chlorella vulgaris (seven yogurt treatments containing three concentrations for each micro-algae (0.25, 0.50, and 1.00%) on pH, titrable acidity, and redox potential changes as well as on the viability of probiotic bacteria during fermentation and during a 28-day refrigerated storage period (5°C) were investigated in yogurt.
Abstract: It is a practice to add microalgae into plain and probiotic fermented milks in order to promote the functionality of these products via their direct health effects as well as the enhancing impact on viability of probiotic microorganisms in product and in gastrointestinal tract. In this study, the effects of addition of two species of microalgae including Arthrospira platensis and Chlorella vulgaris (seven yogurt treatments containing three concentrations for each microalgae—0.25, 0.50, and 1.00 %—and a control without microalgae) on pH, titrable acidity, and redox potential changes as well as on the viability of probiotic bacteria during fermentation and during a 28-day refrigerated storage period (5 °C) were investigated in yogurt. Also, the amounts of lactic and acetic acids at the end of fermentation were assessed. The culture composition of yogurt was ABY type, containing Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5, Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus, and Stresptococcus themophilus. The addition of microalgae significantly (p < 0.05) increased the viability of L. acidophilus and bifdobacteria at the end of fermentation and during the storage period. Treatments containing A. platensis had slower pH decline, faster acidity increase, longer incubation time, and greater final titrable acidity than those containing C. vulgaris and control. In treatments containing 0.5 or 1 % microalgae, the viability was almost higher than 107 cfu/mL until the end of refrigerated storage.

TL;DR: The experimental extraction yield under optimal conditions was found to be 30.049%, which is in good agreement with the predicted value of 30.054%, and the experimental data obtained were fitted to a second-order polynomial equation using multiple regression analysis.
