    Abstract Tyrosol is a natural phenolic compound with potent antioxidant properties in the field of food manufacturing. However, the low lipophilicity of tyrosol limited its application. Therefore, the construction of tyrosol laurate (Tyr-L) could effectively overcome the limitations of tyrosol. In this work, four ionic liquids (ILs) were applied for TYr-L preparation. Among them, the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate ([Bmim]HSO

    Abstract Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to investigate the role of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) in the changes of cardiac structures in OSA rabbits treated by mandibular advancement device (MAD).
    Methods: Eighteen male New Zealand white rabbits aged 6 months were randomly divided into three groups: control group, group OSA and group MAD. Hyaluronate gel was injected into the soft palate of the rabbits in group OSA and group MAD to induce OSA. The cone beam computer tomography (CBCT) of the upper airway and polysomnography (PSG) was performed to ensure successful modelling. CBCT and PSG were applied again to detect the effects of MAD treatment. All animals were induced to sleep in a supine position for 4-6 h a day for 8 weeks. Then the levels of NF-κB, Interleukin 6 (IL-6), Interleukin 10 (IL-10) and the proportion of myocardial fibrosis (MF) were detected.
    Results: The higher activation of NF-κB, IL-6 and IL-10 were found in the OSA group than in the control group, leading to the increase of collagen fibres compared with the control group. Furthermore, the apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI) was positively correlated with the above factors. There were no significant differences between group MAD and the control group.
    Conclusion: The NF-κB pathway was activated in the myocardium of OSA rabbits, which accelerated the development of MF. Early application of MAD could reduce the activation of NF-κB in the myocardium and prevent the development of MF.

    Abstract Astaxanthin is a carotenoid widely found in marine organisms and microorganisms. With extensive use in nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and animal feed, astaxanthin will have the largest share in the global market for carotenoids in the near future. Owing to its unique molecular features, astaxanthin has excellent antioxidant activity and holds promise for use in biochemical studies. This review focuses on the observed health benefits of dietary astaxanthin, as well as its underlying bioactivity mechanisms. Recent studies have increased our understanding of the role of isomerization and esterification in the structure–function relationship of dietary astaxanthin. Gut microbiota may involve the fate of astaxanthin during digestion and absorption; thus, further knowledge is needed to establish accurate recommendations for dietary intake of both healthy and special populations. Associated with the regulation of redox balance and multiple biological mechanisms, astaxanthin is proposed to affect oxidative stress, inflammation, cell death, and lipid metabolism in humans, thus exerting benefits for skin condition, eye health, cardiovascular system, neurological function, exercise performance, and immune response. Additionally, preclinical trials predict its potential effects such as intestinal flora regulation and anti-diabetic activity. Therefore, astaxanthin is worthy of further investigation for boosting human health, and wide applications in the food industry.

    Abstract Abstract This meta-analysis aimed to analyze retinal microvasculature features in eyes with Behçet’s disease (BD) using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA). Electronic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library, were comprehensively searched for published studies comparing retinal microvasculature characteristics between eyes with BD and controls. Continuous variables were calculated using the mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Review Manager software (version 5.30) was used to conduct statistical analysis. A total of 13 eligible studies involving 599 eyes with BD and 622 control eyes were included in the meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that the macular whole enface superficial and deep vessel density (VD) values measured by OCTA were significantly lower in eyes with BD than in control eyes (superficial VD: MD = − 3.05, P < 0.00001; deep VD: MD = − 4.05, P = 0.0004). The foveal superficial and deep VD values were also significantly lower in the BD group than in the control group (superficial VD: MD = − 1.50, P = 0.009; deep VD: MD = − 4.25, − = 0.03). Similarly, the analysis revealed a significant reduction in the parafoveal superficial and deep VD in eyes with BD than in control eyes (superficial VD: MD = − 3.68, P < 0.00001; deep VD: MD = − 4.95, P = 0.0007). In addition, the superficial and deep foveal avascular zones (FAZs) were significantly larger in patients with BD than in controls (superficial FAZ: MD = 0.06, P = 0.02; deep FAZ: MD = 0.12, P = 0.03). The present meta-analysis found that macular whole enface VD, foveal VD, and parafoveal VD were lower in eyes with BD, and the FAZ was larger in patients with BD. The findings suggest that OCTA can assist clinicians in diagnosing and monitoring the status of patients with BD.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Astaxanthin ester derived from Haematococcus pluvialis is often used as a functional and nutritional ingredient in foods. However, its utilization is currently limited as a result of its chemical instability and low bioavailability. Food matrix microcapsules are becoming increasingly popular because of their safety and high encapsulation efficiency. In the present study, the effect of protein matrixes on the properties of microcapsules was evaluated. RESULTS: We investigated the effects of storage on astaxanthin ester microcapsules and the corresponding rehydration solution at 40 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere, as well as in darkness. The results showed that the stability of products prepared based on whey protein (WP) and corn‐gluten was superior to that of products prepared based on lactoferrin, soy protein and sodium caseinate. The bioavailability of astaxanthin ester microcapsules encapsulated with different proteins and examined by means of astaxanthin concentrations in the serum and liver after oral administration was compared. All five protein wall materials could significantly improve the bioavailability of astaxanthin ester. The microcapsules prepared based on WP had the highest bioavailability, with a value of 10.69 ± 0.75 μg·h mL⁻¹, which was 3.15 times higher compared to that of the control group. CONCLUSION: The results of the present study showed that protein encapsulation, especially WP encapsulation, could effectively improve the stability, water solubility and bioavailability of astaxanthin esters. Thus, WP can be used as the main wall material in delivery systems. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Compared with free astaxanthin (Asta), docosahexaenoic acid astaxanthin monoester (Asta‐C22:6) has higher stability and bioavailability. However, Asta‐E is still unable to be used in the water system. Hence it is necessary to build a water‐soluble delivery system. In this study, Asta‐C22:6 microemulsion and microcapsule using whey protein isolate (WPI) and hydroxypropyl‐β‐cyclodextrin (HPβ‐CD) as composite wall material were prepared. They were added to three dairy products (milk powder, yogurt and flavored dairy product). A dairy product rich in Asta‐C22:6 with high bioavailability was designed by measuring quality characteristics, sensory evaluation and in vivo experiments. RESULTS: Compared with spray drying, the freeze‐drying microcapsule had a higher encapsulation efficiency (72.5%), water content (4%) and better solubility, and Asta‐C22:6 microcapsule (1 g L⁻¹) yogurt had the best quality. The bioavailability of Asta‐C22:6 microcapsule yogurt was further evaluated. After a single oral dose in mice, the bioavailability of Asta‐C22:6 microcapsule in yogurt was significantly increased (Cₘₐₓ = 0.31 μg mL⁻¹, AUC₀–T = 3.20 h μg mL⁻¹). CONCLUSION: We successfully prepared Asta‐C22:6 microcapsule yogurt, which improved the stability and bioavailability of Asta. The present research is meaningful for delivering unstable bioactive small molecules based on WPI and HPβ‐CD. It provides an experimental basis for the application of Asta‐C22:6 and the development of functional dairy products. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
