Despite the development of modern diagnostic and therapeutic approaches good results, Limb-Threatening Ischemia deserves special attention and occupies a special place among medical, biomedical and socio-economic problems. A comprehensive study will make it possible to develop new approaches, the result of which should be a decrease in the total number of diseases, as well as a minimization of complications leading to large-scale tissue losses and amputations. OBJECTIVE: We set out to develop a new non-invasive method for studying microcirculation in patients with limb-threatening ischemia. METHODS: We investigated control group and adults of both sexes (age: 50–75 years) with a confirmed diagnosis of the claudication. Men and women in ratio 1 : 1 in control and target groups. RESULTS: The research results showed that the original microcirculation coefficient calculated according to our algorithm in patients with intermittent claudication was 70% better than in the control group and 120% of patients were worse than in patients with Limb-Threatening Ischemia. CONCLUSION: Our research team created an original so called coefficient of microcirculation. In order to determine it, we studied the blood flow in the pulsations on the left and right side of the posterior tibial arteries of the legs at rest (names of lines SIN F, DEX F) and during post-ischemic hyperemia in the same lines. The study of microcirculation based on the microcirculation coefficient is very informative. The importance of this methodology for studying the total peripheral blood flow and arteriolar response is due to fundamental and clinical developments, as well as financial costs. Considering the technique described in the article can be easily mastered by medical personnel, it is easy to use in the inpatient and outpatient sectors, its use does not require large areas of the medical facility, the equipment is not expensive and the test itself does not cause inconvenience to the patient, then we can recommend including the described method is included in the list of functional diagnostic tests as a direct and quantitative method for determining microcirculation (without special costs on the part of medical institutions, insurance companies and the patient).","PeriodicalId":15286,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cellular Biotechnology","volume":" 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141825260","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While, periodontitis causes localized inflammatory bone loss after an infected breach of the alveolar cortical bone and may cause tooth loss, osteoporosis causes systemic degenerative bone loss that results in loss of skeletal cancellous microstructure and eventual fracture. The majority of cross-sectional investigations have predominantly used radiographic data and to a lesser extent clinical criteria to confirm the link between osteoporosis and periodontitis. Age, heredity, hormonal changes, smoking, and a lack of calcium and vitamin D are just a few of the many common risk factors. Both disorders may have mutual effects and may even be risk factors for one another, necessitating concurrent therapy. Disruption of the homeostasis of bone remodelling, hormone balance, and inflammation resolution are proposed processes underpinning the relationship. Emerging is a mutual interventional strategy with intricate therapeutic interactions. Both disorders urge future well-controlled longitudinal and interventional studies for evidence-based clinical guidelines and call for interdisciplinary approaches to prevention and care.","PeriodicalId":15286,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cellular Biotechnology","volume":"10 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140988093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OBJECTIVE: To conduct In-Vitro studies on cellular infection caused by different variants by performing cytotoxic assays and studying the live microscopic observations. METHODS: The swab samples positive for Wuhan, Delta and Omicron strains were inoculated in the Vero cell lines and their rate of infectivity and nature of cytopathy was observed. RESULTS: The study showed maximum inter cellular connectivity among cells infected by Delta variant, followed by Wuhan and least inter cellular connections in the cells infected by Omicron variant. The Delta strain causing highest mortality as per reported epidemiological trends, showed highest inter cellular connections and maximum cell damage supporting the fastest cell to cell spread of infection and causing most mortality among patients. CONCLUSIONS: The paper reports that numerous inter cellular connections is the cause of spread of infection among cells and maximum cell damage as the cause of clinical severities. The paper sensitizes the issue that 52 subunit of viral Spike Protein could act as fusion enzyme causing the numerous inter cellular connections. Study suggests that the S2 subunit of the viral Spike Protein could be the drug target for therapeutic intervention.","PeriodicalId":15286,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cellular Biotechnology","volume":" 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140999555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The United Nations acknowledged spirulina as a nutritious food source because of its rich pigments and high protein content. OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to provide an overview of how Spirulina is utilized as both a dietary supplement as well as functional food ingredient in the food industry. METHOD: Spirulina powder can be added to various foods such as bread, cakes and cookies to increase the nutritional value. It is particularly valuable as a dietary supplement in efforts to combat malnutrition in impoverished regions. RESULT: Spirulina platensis is also a source of essential components used in the therapeutic microalgae supplement market. These components include alpha-carotene, astaxanthin, polyunsaturated fatty acids (such as DHA and EPA) and polysaccharides like beta-glucan. CONCLUSION: It is evident that the consumption of spirulina algae can offer both financial benefits and health advantages. Even though there is a large amount of research on the nutritional, environmental and social benefits of spirulina, some natural areas still produce insufficient amounts of the algae. As a result, more and more scientists and researchers throughout the world are pushing for the growth of spirulina farming.","PeriodicalId":15286,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cellular Biotechnology","volume":"5 39","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140712385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the use of inserts can generate plastic waste that has an environmental impact due to their one-off design and massive consumption. Thus, it is important to develop a method that can reduce the utilization of inserts but not affect research efficiency. In this study, we propose using a 1:1 (v:v) mix of 30% hydrogen peroxide and 99% sulfuric acid (“piranha solution’’) to completely remove cell debris and matrix from culture inserts. BBB models with inserts regenerated using piranha solution have barrier properties comparable to those of fresh inserts. We show that piranha solution is an effective reagent and allows for the reuse of Transwell-type inserts for BBB modeling up to 5 times. Therefore, the use of this method greatly reduces the production of laboratory waste and benefits numerous laboratories worldwide.","PeriodicalId":15286,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cellular Biotechnology","volume":"46 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140376909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
