Effect of a new type of healthy and live food supplement on osteoporosis blood parameters and induced rheumatoid arthritis in Wistar rats

Abstract

Summary Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder, characterized by a decrease in bone strength and puts the individual at risk for fracture. On the other hand, rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease of unknown etiology that causes inflammation of the joints of the organs. Purpose Due to the destructive effects of these diseases and its increasing prevalence and lack of appropriate medication for treatment, the present study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of a new type of healthy and live food supplement on rheumatoid arthritis and induced osteoporosis in rats. Methods In this research, healthy and live food powder were synthesized by a new and green route. This organic biomaterial was named NBS. The NBS food supplement had various vitamins, macro and micro molecules, and ingredients. The new healthy and nutritious diet showed that the use of this supplement led to the return of the parameters to normal levels. Results The concentration of 12.5 mg/ kg showed the least therapeutic effect and 50 mg/ kg had the highest therapeutic effect for osteoporosis. The results of blood parameters involved in inflammation in both healthy and patient groups showed that the use of complete adjuvant induction causes joint inflammation. In the study of the interaction of the concentrations, it was observed that the concentration of 50 mg/ kg had the highest therapeutic effect against the disease in the studied mice. Conclusion The results showed that the new healthy and viable supplement restores the blood osteoporotic and rheumatoid factors of the mice to normal.

A Combined ODE Model of Carbohydrate Fermentation and Colorectal Cancer

We formulate and analyze a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations that describe key metabolic and immunological interactions between butyrate produced by fiber-fermenting gut microbiota, colorectal cancer cells and host cell populations. The model is studied both independently and in conjunction with a pre-existing carbohydrate fermentation model. The parameter space is explored through sensitivity analyses. Simulation experiments are conducted to illustrate the emergence of varying dynamical behaviour driven by butyrate availability. Our model predicts that butyrate production is driven by fiber consumption and further supported by probiotics in the case of microbial dysbiosis. It also suggests that butyrate may help in suppressing tumour growth. We also show that by adding noise with sufficiently high intensity, cancer elimination occurs almost surely in infinite time and that this threshold level of noise intensity decreases with increasing butyrate concentrations.

Intestinal villi and crypt density robustly maximizes nutrient absorption

The villi and crypts of the gastrointestinal tract increase the effective surface area of the intestinal mucosa, potentially enhancing nutrient absorption. It is commonly assumed that this is their primary function, and that a higher villi density necessarily leads to improved absorption. However, when villi are packed too closely together, diffusion can be hindered, potentially offsetting this benefit. In this work, we investigate quantitatively the relationship between the density of these structures and the overall efficiency of absorption. In three different simplified geometries, approximating leaf-like villi, finger-like villi, and colonic crypts, we calculate analytically the concentration profile and the absorption flux, assuming that there is only diffusion between these structures while the lumen is well mixed. When plotting the absorption flux per unit of gut length as a function of the structures' density, we observe that there is a density maximizing absorption. We study numerically this optimum. We find that it is robust to the nutrient absorption properties: a geometry optimal for one nutrient is close to optimum for another nutrient. Physiological data from various animal species fall within this predicted optimal range, consistent with the hypothesis that structure density is shaped by selection for efficient nutrient uptake.

Interstitial flow in the chick yolk sac exhibits organ-scale patterns driven by segregated leakage and drainage

Interstitial flow plays a key role in drug delivery, angiogenesis, cancer, and edema. Recent studies have identified connected interstitial pathways that can transport material over long distances. However, the spatial scale of physiological interstitial flow remains unclear: despite the existence of connected pathways, flow may be dominated by nearby vascular filtration or extend over longer distances. Here, we identify organ-scale interstitial flow patterns in the chick yolk sac and elucidate the mechanisms that determine their spatial scale. The yolk sac contains an organ-scale interstitial region that enables large-scale flow patterns to be identified without truncation. Our approach combines experimental imaging with computational modeling of coupled blood and interstitial flow in the whole yolk sac. Scaling analysis identifies a hydraulic conductivity ratio that controls the transition from small-scale to organ-scale flow. In organ-scale patterns, we find interstitial flow speed to be substantially greater than the transvascular flow speed. Mechanistically, the organ-scale patterns arise from the spatial segregation of the leakage and drainage of interstitial fluid from the vessels. These findings have important implications for biological transport by interstitial flow, suggesting that flow-mediated cues may be sensed locally but generated nonlocally.
