Sugarcane is used in daily routine life in many ways like as vinegar, jiggery, juices etc. In India sugarcane crop is best cultivated in the west U.P. Sugarcane original vinegar drink with high nutritional quality was produced from fresh sugarcane juice using the yeast culture and acetic acid bacteria by fermentation techniques such as submerged alcoholic fermentation followed by acetic fermentation at room temperature. Refined sugarcane is the primary product of sugarcane juice, during its processing, various other valuable products are also obtained in an unrefined form such as brown sugar, molasses, jaggery and vinegar. Sugarcane juice is widely used in the treatment of jaundice, hemorrhage, dysuria, and other urinary disease. Nowadays sugarcane vinegar is also used in Indian kitchens commonly in pickles, salads, etc. Vinegar is extremely useful for human health including antimicrobial activity, blood pressure reduction, antioxidant activity, reduction in the effects of diabetes, and prevention of cardiovascular disease. Phenolic acid in vinegar can scavenge superoxide anion and free radicals in vivo resulting in a potent antioxidant activity.","PeriodicalId":48617,"journal":{"name":"Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine","volume":"9 3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83407716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fruit vinegar is considered a healthy drink, rich in bioactive compounds like organic acids, polyphenols, flavonoids and alkaloids that provide several beneficial properties. Fruit vinegar also contains several beneficial nutrients like amino acids, sugars, vitamins and minerals. They provide energy, regulate cell metabolism, immunity, antioxidation, anticoagulation and help in the improvement of brain development. Vinegar is also known for its strong antimicrobial properties against foodborne pathogens. The aim of the present investigation was to find out the antimicrobial activities of grape vinegar against common food-borne pathogens and to see whether common vegetable lose their antimicrobial activities when soaked with grape vinegar or gain. The vegetables used in the present investigation were randomly collected from the local market. We have evaluated the antimicrobial properties of untreated and grape vinegar (GV) treated selected vegetables against Escherichia coli (ATCC8739), Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6539), Shigella flexneri (ATCC 12022), Salmonella typhi (ATCC 14028), Cronobacter sakazakii (ATCC 29544), Vibrio parahaemolyticus (ATCC 17802), Vibrio cholera (ATCC 3906) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Based on the randomized survey, commonly used vegetable ginger (Zingiber officinale), garlic (Allium sativum), onion (Allium cepa), raw papaya (Carica papaya), white radish (Raphanus sativus) and green chilli (Capsicum annuum) were selected for the assessment of their antimicrobial activities. Different phytochemicals were found in water extract and grape vinegar-treated vegetables. Our results suggested that in general, grape vinegar-treated vegetables showed higher antimicrobial activities against all tested food-borne pathogens, but onion, garlic, green chillies and white radish revealed drastically higher activities. Hence, it is suggested that onion, garlic, green chillies and white radish should preferably be used after soaking with grape vinegar. All vegetables except garlic and white radish showed very little antimicrobial activity against B. subtilis. V. cholera was highly sensitive to grape vinegar-treated vegetables except for garlic. Similarly, V. parahaemolyticus was highly sensitive to grape vinegar-treated green chillies, white radish, raw papaya, and onion. Shigella flexneri also showed greater sensitivity to GV-treated green chillies and white radishes. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was sensitive to ginger and green chillies only. It may safely be concluded that grape vinegar-treated vegetables are beneficial to fight against food-borne infections. The vegetable when soaked with grape vinegar did not lose their antimicrobial activities rather they gained the antimicrobial components from grape vinegar. Our studies revealed that white radish, ginger, green chilies, and onion should be used after soaking in grape vinegar while garlic ","PeriodicalId":48617,"journal":{"name":"Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88498715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abnormalities in the regulation of renal ion transport cause essential hypertension. The renal dopaminergic system, which inhibits sodium transport in all the nephron segments, is responsible for at least 50% of renal sodium excretion under conditions of moderate sodium excess. Dopaminergic signals are transduced by two families of receptors that belong to the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. D<sub>1</sub>-like receptors (D<sub>1</sub>R and D<sub>5</sub>R) stimulate, while D2-like receptors (D<sub>2</sub>R, D<sub>3</sub>R, and D<sub>4</sub>R) inhibit adenylyl cyclases. The dopamine receptor subtypes, themselves, or by their interactions, regulate renal sodium transport and blood pressure. We review the role of the D<sub>1</sub>R and D<sub>3</sub>R and their interaction in the natriuresis associated with volume expansion. The D<sub>1</sub>R- and D<sub>3</sub>R-mediated inhibition of renal sodium transport involves PKA and PKC-dependent and -independent mechanisms. The D<sub>3</sub>R also increases the degradation of NHE3 via USP-mediated ubiquitinylation. Although deletion of <i>Drd1</i> and <i>Drd3</i> in mice causes hypertension, <i>DRD1</i> polymorphisms are not always associated with human essential hypertension and polymorphisms in <i>DRD3</i> are not associated with human essential hypertension. The impaired D<sub>1</sub>R and D<sub>3</sub>R function in hypertension is related to their hyper-phosphorylation; GRK4γ isoforms, R65L, A142V, and A486V, hyper-phosphorylate and desensitize D<sub>1</sub>R and D<sub>3</sub>R. The <i>GRK4</i> locus is linked to and <i>GRK4</i> variants are associated with high blood pressure in humans.

Jaundice indicates yellow discoloration of skin, sclera, and mucus membrane and is a clinical indication of bilirubin accumulation in the blood which occurs as a consequence of the incapability of the liver to excrete bilirubin in the biliary tree or conjugate bilirubin and higher production of bilirubin in the body. Several methods have been developed so far for bilirubin estimation in jaundice like the spectrophotometric method, chemiluminescence method, etc., but biosensing methods provide advantages over traditional methods concerning the surface area, adsorption, particle size, and functional characteristics. The primary objective of the present research project was to formulate and examine the adsorbent nanoflowers-based biosensor for accurate, precise, and sensitive detection of bilirubin in jaundice. The particle size of adsorbent nanoflowers was found to be in the range of 300-600nm with the surface charge (zeta potential) in the range of -1.12 to -15.42 mV. Transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy images confirmed the flower-like morphological structure of adsorbent NFs. The adsorption efficiency of NFs for bilirubin adsorption was maximum at 94.13%. Comparative studies of bilirubin estimation in the pathological sample with adsorbent NFs and diagnostic kit displayed bilirubin concentration to be 1.0 mg/dL in adsorbent nanoflowers and 1.1 mg/dL with diagnostic kit indicating effective detection of bilirubin with adsorbent NFs. The nanoflower-based biosensor acts as a smart approach to elevate adsorption efficiency on the surface of nanoflower due to a higher surface-to-volume (SV) ratio.
