    Abstract This study examined the level of adherence to self-care behaviors among individuals with type 2 diabetes in Saudi Arabia and its connection with depression and demographic factors. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among diabetes patients using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) to measure depression and the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) to evaluate diabetes self-care activities. Among the 252 participants who completed the survey, 43.2% were older than 55 and 59% were men. The ordinal regression model showed an association between the PHQ-9 and SDSCA scores with an OR of 0.83 (95% CI: 0.71 to 0.96,

    Abstract Drug repurposing is a promising approach that has the potential to revolutionize the drug discovery and development process. By leveraging existing drugs, we can bring new treatments to patients more quickly and affordably. Anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to target multiple pathways involved in cancer development and progression. This suggests that they may be more effective in treating cancer than drugs that target a single pathway. Cell viability was measured using the MTT assay. The expression of genes related to inflammation (TNFa, IL1b, COX-1, COX-2, and 5-LOX) was measured in HepG2, MCF7, and THLE-2 cells using qPCR. The levels of TNFα, IL1b, COX-1, COX-2, and 5-LOX were also measured in these cells using an ELISA kit. An enzyme binding assay revealed that sulfadiazine expressed weaker inhibitory activity against COX-2 (IC

    Abstract Replacing bisphenol A with its analogues may represent a risk to human health because of their potential synergic effects. In this study, a fast, sensitive and reliable UPLC-MS/MS method for the identification and quantification of bisphenol A, bisphenol F, bisphenol S, D8 and pergafast in foodstuff was developed and validated. Sample preparation and clean up were carried out using ultrasonic extraction followed by solid-phase extraction on Oasis HLB cartridges. The developed method was successfully applied for simultaneous determination of the target analytes in 140 food samples from various categories (including: vegetables, dairy products, seafood products, condiments, beverages, oils & fats and others). The recovery ranged from 80.3% to 103.8% with relative standard deviations not higher than 11.5%. Limits of detection were within the range of 0.003–0.015 μg kg⁻¹ under the optimized conditions. Bisphenol A was found in the majority of food samples (83%) with the highest concentration of 110 µg kg⁻¹. Canned food contained higher concentrations of total bisphenols (23.8 µg kg⁻¹) compared to food samples packed in plastic containers (7.68 µg kg⁻¹), paper (3.53 µg kg⁻¹) or glass (1.14 µg kg⁻¹). The estimated daily intake for the detected bisphenols was also calculated (286.7 and 307.8 ng kg⁻¹ BW day⁻¹) for male and female adults, respectively. The dietary exposure to total bisphenols through foodstuffs investigated in this study were found to be higher than the recently updated tolerable daily intake value of BPA (0.04 ng kg⁻¹ BW day⁻¹). Also, the calculated hazard index was found to be higher than 1, indicating that the exposure to the detected bisphenols is more likely to cause risk to consumers through the dietary intake. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report estimating the health risk associated with dietary exposure to bisphenol A and its analogues in Saudi Arabia.

    Abstract 6R l-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential cofactor for several enzymes including phenylalanine hydroxylase and the nitric oxide synthases (NOS). Oral supplementation of BH4 has been successfully employed to treat subsets of patients with hyperphenylalaninaemia. More recently, research efforts have focussed on understanding whether BH4 supplementation may also be efficacious in cardiovascular disorders that are underpinned by reduced nitric oxide bioavailability. Whilst numerous preclinical and clinical studies have demonstrated a positive association between enhanced BH4 and vascular function, the efficacy of orally administered BH4 in human cardiovascular disease remains unclear. Furthermore, interventions that limit BH4 bioavailability may provide benefit in diseases where nitric oxide over production contributes to pathology. This review describes the pathways involved in BH4 bio-regulation and discusses other endogenous mechanisms that could be harnessed therapeutically to manipulate vascular BH4 levels.

    Abstract Reduced nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability correlates with impaired cardiovascular function. NO is extremely labile and has been challenging to develop as a therapeutic agent. However, NO bioavailability could be enhanced by pharmacologically targeting endogenous NO regulatory pathways. Tetrahydrobiopterin, an essential cofactor for NO production, is synthesized by GTP cyclohydrolase-1 (GCH1), which complexes with GCH1 feedback regulatory protein (GFRP). The dietary amino acid l-phenylalanine activates this complex, elevating vascular BH

    Abstract Humans are repeatedly exposed to influenza virus via infections and vaccinations. Understanding how multiple exposures and pre-existing immunity impact antibody responses is essential for vaccine development. Given the recent prevalence of influenza H1N1 A/California/7/2009 (CA09), we examined the clonal composition and dynamics of CA09 hemagglutinin (HA)-reactive IgG repertoire over 5 years in a donor with multiple influenza exposures. The anti-CA09 HA polyclonal response in this donor comprised 24 persistent antibody clonotypes, accounting for 72.6% ± 10.0% of the anti-CA09 HA repertoire over 5 years. These persistent antibodies displayed higher somatic hypermutation relative to transient serum antibodies detected at one time point. Additionally, persistent antibodies predominantly demonstrated cross-reactivity and potent neutralization toward a phylogenetically distant H5N1 A/Vietnam/1203/2004 (VT04) strain, a feature correlated with HA stem recognition. This analysis reveals how "serological imprinting" impacts responses to influenza and suggests that once elicited, cross-reactive antibodies targeting the HA stem can persist for years.
