    Method: In a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, healthy overweight (body mass index ⩾ 25 to <30 kg/m
    Results: Sixty subjects completed the study. Mean body weight and body mass index were significantly reduced in CGA-7 group as compared to placebo (
    Conclusion: To conclude, this study provides scientific validation of the functionality of green coffee bean extract and recommends the safety of the supplementation in healthy individuals.

    Abstract Quorum sensing (QS), a cell-to-cell communication mechanism present in many bacterial species plays a key role in regulating the virulence factor and biofilm formation in many pathogens, which causes severe public health risk. Therefore, interfering with QS mechanism offers an attractive strategy to combat bacterial infections. In the present study, anti-QS activity of a novel resveratrol formulation, Resveramax™, was detected using Chromobacterium violaceum biosensor bioassay and the effect of Resveramax on QS-regulated phenotypes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was assessed by standard protocols. Molecular docking analysis of resveratrol, the major active constituent of Resveramax, with LasR receptor protein was performed to evidence the QS-inhibitory potential of Resveramax. Results showed that Resveramax specifically inhibited the QS-mediated violacein pigment production in C. violaceum; pyocyanin production, proteolytic activity, swarming motility and biofilm formation in P. aeruginosa PAO1 in a concentration-dependent manner. Biofilms treated with Resveramax showed increased susceptibility to antibiotics when compared with the antibiotic treatment alone. Molecular docking analysis proved that resveratrol binds more rigidly with LasR receptor protein with docking score of -8.55 kJ/mol. These findings suggest that Resveramax could be used as novel QS-based antibacterial/anti-biofilm agent for the management of bacterial infections.

    Title translation Are the advantages of percutaneous catheterization technique gained by increased blood trauma?.
    Abstract Unlabelled: The development of thin-walled cannulas which can be introduced by percutaneous technique into femoral artery and vein has revived interest in emergency cardiopulmonary support (CPS). To assess possible blood damaging effect due to the small-bore cannulas, 8 in vitro perfusions were performed with two parallel pump circuits: one circuit with a 17 F arterial and a 21 F venous cannula, one circuit without cannulas (control). The circuits were filled with 61 of bovine blood and run for 6 hours at a temperature of 37 degrees C and a flow of 4 l/min. Serial blood samples were taken before and during the experiment. There was a significantly higher level of free plasma haemoglobin (pl Hb) and a decreased number of leukocytes (Lc) after 6 hours of perfusion in the group with percutaneous cannulas as compared with control (pl Hb: 63.2 +/- 0.3 vs. 26.3 +/- 4.1 mumol/l, p < 0.05, Lc: 2.4 +/- 0.6 vs. 4.6 +/- 0.8 x 10(9)/l, p < 0.05, mean +/- se).
    Conclusion: percutaneous cannulas are associated with an increased blood trauma. If extended cardiopulmonary support is considered (more than several hours), percutaneous cannulas should be replaced by large-bore cannulas.
