    Abstract Background: The present study investigates the effect of conventional and organic farming systems on the nutritional profile of crops. Different crops, namely -millet, sorghum, sesame, mustard, fenugreek, berseem, pea, potato, and onion were cultivated through conventional agriculture in which chemical fertilizers like urea, DAP (Diammonium Phosphate) and pesticides were used and organic farming in which organic fertilizers like seaweed and vermicompost were used.
    Objective: The experimental study was done on a field in north India from 2019 to 2021 in six different seasons, and the nutrient profile of the crops with respect to macroelements (S, K, Na, P, Ca, Mg) and microelements (B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Al) was compared.
    Methods: Macro and microelements were analyzed by Element analyzer and ICP-OES in both types of farming systems. The content of macro, as well as microelements, was found to be significantly higher in all the organically produced crops as compared to the conventionally grown crops.
    Results: Significant differences were observed in the macroelement content of organic onion (P900 mg/kg, K-2000mg/kg) and organic pea (K 2250 mg/kg) as compared to the content of conventionally grown onion (P-756 mg/kg, K- 1550 mg/kg) and pea (K-2000 mg/kg). Similarly, microelement content in the organic sesame (Fe - 3.12 mg/kg), organic millet (Fe- 2.19 mg/kg), and organic potato (Zn-200 mg/kg) was higher as compared to conventionally grown sesame (Fe 2.05 mg/kg), millet (Fe- 1.56 mg/kg) and potato (Zn 167 mg/kg).
    Conclusion: This investigation concludes that crops with optimum nutritional content can be produced through organic farming with minimum input and maximum production.

    Abstract Ulcerative colitis is a type of inflammatory bowel disease which in long run can lead to colorectal cancer (CRC). Chronic inflammation can be a key factor for the occurrence of CRC thus mitigating an inflammation can be a preventive strategy for the occurrence of CRC. In this study we have explored the anti-inflammatory potential of phloretin, in in vitro gut inflammation model, developed by co-culture of Caco2 (intestinal epithelial) cells and RAW264.7 macrophages (immune cells). Phloretin is a dihydrochalcone present in apple, pear and strawberries. An anti-inflammatory effect of phloretin in reducing LPS induced inflammation and maintenance of transepithelial electric resistance (TEER) in Caco2 cells was examined. Paracellular permeability assay was performed using Lucifer yellow dye to evaluate the effect of phloretin in inhibiting gut leakiness caused by inflammatory mediators secreted by activated macrophages. Phloretin attenuated LPS induced nitric oxide levels, oxidative stress, depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential in Caco2 cells as evidenced by reduction in reactive oxygen species (ROS), and enhancement of MMP, and decrease in inflammatory cytokines IL8, TNFα, IL1β and IL6. It exhibited anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting the expression of NFκB, iNOS and Cox2. Phloretin maintained the epithelial integrity by regulating the expression of tight junction proteins ZO1, occludin, Claudin1 and JAM. Phloretin reduced LPS induced levels of Cox2 along with the reduction in Src expression which further regulated an expression of tight junction protein occludin. Phloretin in combination to sodium pyruvate exhibited potential anti-inflammatory activity via targeting NFkB signaling. Our findings paved a way to position phloretin as nutraceutical in preventing the occurrence of colitis and culmination of disease into colitis associated colorectal cancer.

    Abstract Lipidic adjuvant formulations consisting of immunomodulatory mycobacterial cell wall lipids interact with host cells following administration. The impact of this cross-talk on the host membrane's structure and function is rarely given enough consideration but is imperative to rule out nonspecific perturbation underlying the adjuvant. In this work, we investigated changes in the plasma membranes of live mammalian cells after exposure to mycobacterial mycolic acid (MA) and phenolic glycolipids, two strong candidates for lipidic adjuvant therapy. We found that phenolic glycolipid 1 softened the plasma membrane, lowering membrane tension and stiffness, but MA did not significantly change the membrane characteristics. Further, phenolic glycolipid 1 had a fluidizing impact on the host plasma membrane, increasing the fluidity and the abundance of fluid-ordered-disordered coexisting lipid domains. Notably, lipid diffusion was not impacted. Overall, MA and, to a lesser extent, phenolic glycolipid 1, due to minor disruption of host cell membranes, may serve as appropriate lipids in adjuvant formulations.

    Abstract Machine-learning (ML) methods have gained prominence in the quantitative sciences. However, there are many known methodological pitfalls, including data leakage, in ML-based science. We systematically investigate reproducibility issues in ML-based science. Through a survey of literature in fields that have adopted ML methods, we find 17 fields where leakage has been found, collectively affecting 294 papers and, in some cases, leading to wildly overoptimistic conclusions. Based on our survey, we introduce a detailed taxonomy of eight types of leakage, ranging from textbook errors to open research problems. We propose that researchers test for each type of leakage by filling out model info sheets, which we introduce. Finally, we conduct a reproducibility study of civil war prediction, where complex ML models are believed to vastly outperform traditional statistical models such as logistic regression (LR). When the errors are corrected, complex ML models do not perform substantively better than decades-old LR models.
