Propolis has been widely used as medicine due to its various benefits. This research study investigated the effect of propolis from the stingless bee (Tetragonula sapiens) from South Sulawesi, Indonesia, on neurogenesis in primary cultures of embryonic cerebral cortex of Wistar rats at 17-18 days of gestation.\u0000Methods This research was an experimental study involving 4 female pregnant Wistar rats, which were terminated and the cerebral cortex of the embryos collected and grown as primary cultures. The cultures were divided into 3 groups, i.e. control, vehicle, and propolis extract group. The research began with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) to obtain the optimal dose among propolis doses of 0.5 μg/mL, 1 μg/mL, 5 μg/mL, 10 μg/mL, 25 μg/mL, and 100 μg/mL. The study was continued by using the best dose in immunostaining examination using microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) primary antibody and qRT-PCR examination of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) mRNA expression. One Way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to analyse the data.\u0000ResultsThe results showed that the propolis doses of 0.5 μg/mL and 1 μg/mL significantly increase cell viability compared to the other doses (p=0.011) and stimulate dendritic growth. The propolis dose group of 1 μg/mL induces a significantly higher expression of BDNF mRNA than the control group (p=0.031).\u0000ConclusionOur findings indicate that stingless bee propolis has neuroprotective effects against BDNF mRNA in rats. It is shown that propolis can be a candidate inhibitor in neurodegenerative diseases.","PeriodicalId":42578,"journal":{"name":"Universa Medicina","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46636499","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 biofilms of uropathogens such as Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli pose serious challenges. Therefore the scientific world is trying to experiment with alternative drugs to replace conventional antibiotics as the latter are more prone to cause the development of antibacterial resistance. Here, we evaluate the repurposing of the antidepressant fluoxetine as an antibacterial agent against the mentioned pathogens.\u0000MethodsTo repurpose fluoxetine for its antibacterial activity against Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli, the agar diffusion method was used. The minimal inhibitory concentration was found by the microdilution method. The drug was also analyzed as a coating on catheters to evaluate its efficiency against biofilm formation by pathogens.\u0000Results The drug fluoxetine showed potential antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities. Its minimum inhibitory concentration was found to be 18.75 µg/mL and 37.5 µg/mL against Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli respectively. The antibiofilm activity on polystyrene surfaces was also remarkable as it reduced the formation of Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli biofilms by 70% and 74%, after being treated with 1x MICs and 2x MICs respectively.\u0000Conclusions Fluoxetine - one of the drugs of choice in treating depression, when repurposed, has shown considerable antibacterial and antibiofilm effects against two of the major catheter-associated urinary tract infection-causing bacteria - viz. Enterococcus faecalis and Escherichia coli. Therefore, further studies are needed to understand its applicability as an antibacterial agent.","PeriodicalId":42578,"journal":{"name":"Universa Medicina","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45930611","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}

Diabetic retinopathy causes permanent blindness in the productive age group and has a multifactorial pathogenesis.

The data was converted to Comma Separated Values (CSV) and exported to VOSviewer to bibliometrically analyze the origin by country, keywords, frequently cited articles, author, and journals. Over a 25-year period, 5081 articles were discovered, with the number rising, particularly in the past four years, and significantly in 2022 when 561 articles (11.04%) were found. The Journal of Alzheimer's Disease (19.22%) and Neuroimage Clinical (10.22%) published the largest number of articles on this subject. The United States (24.31%) led all other countries in the number of publications, followed by China (14.84%) and UK (6.5%).

The keywords that appeared the most frequently were mild cognitive impairment (984 occurrences) associated with biomarkers, brain scanning procedures, brain part, age, and human subject. The most frequently cited authors were Petersen RC (1365 citations) and Jack CR (1103 citations). Neuroimage (4164 citations), and Neurology (3268 citations) are the most repeatedly cited journals.

Either AE or RE groups performed exercise for 60 minutes per day for 10 weeks, whereas the control group did not perform any exercise. The body composition and QoL of the women were measured before and after the exercise.\u0000ResultsBody weight, BMI, fat mass, and waist and hip circumferences decreased significantly in both AE and RE groups after the exercise intervention compared to the control group (p<0.05). In addition, quality of life sub-dimensions including physical health, psychological health, social relationship, and environment sub-dimensions improved significantly in the AE and RE groups compared to the control group (p<0.001). Post hoc Tukey test showed that AE was as effective as RE for improving body composition parameters and QoL sub dimension compared to control group.\u0000ConclusionThis study demonstrated that both AE and RE were effective in improving body composition and thereby increasing the QoL in overweight and obese women.
