Insulin-loaded nanoparticles based on acetylated cashew gum/chitosan complexes for oral administration and diabetes treatment
In this study, a nanoparticulate system was developed using acetylated cashew gum (ACG) and chitosan by the polyelectrolyte complexation method, for oral administration of insulin. The nanoparticles were characterized by size, zeta potential and encapsulation efficiency (EE%). And they had a particle size of 460 ± 11.0 nm, PDI of 0.2 ± 0.021, zeta potential of 30.6 ± 0.48 mV, and an EE% of 52.5 %. Cytotoxicity assays were performed for HT-29 cell lines. It was observed that ACG and nanoparticles did not have a significant effect on cell viability, verifying their biocompatibility. Hypoglycemic effects of the formulation...

Superabsorbent bacterial cellulose film produced from industrial residue of cashew apple juice processing
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Apr 24:124405. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124405. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe industrial residue of cashew apple juice processing (MRC) was evaluated as an alternative medium for bacterial cellulose (BC) production by Komagataeibacter xylinus ATCC 53582 and Komagataeibacter xylinus ARS B42. The synthetic Hestrin-Schramm medium (MHS) was used as a control for growing and BC production. First, BC production was assessed after 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 days under static culture. After 12 days of cultivation, K. xylinus ATCC 53582 produced the highest BC titer in MHS (3.1 g·L-1) and MRC (3 g·L-1),...

Interaction of mediators and effector cells in cashew nut-induced anaphylaxis
CONCLUSION: PAF is a specific anaphylaxis biomarker. Marked decline of eosinophils during anaphylaxis may be related to robust secretion of PAF reflecting migration of eosinophils to target tissues.PMID:37098406 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2023.04.014 (Source: Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology)

Interaction of mediators and effector cells in cashew nut-induced anaphylaxis
: The underlying mechanisms of an immediate food-induced allergic reaction involve mast-cell degranulation and recruitment of other effector cells, such as lymphocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. How the interaction of various mediators and cells results in anaphylaxis is not fully understood. (Source: Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology)

Biological soil crusts decrease infiltration but increase erosion resistance in a human-disturbed tropical dry forest
This study investigated the effect of cyanobacteria-dominated biocrusts on water infiltration and aggregate stability in a human-modified landscape of the Caatinga dry forest (NE Brazil), a system characterized by high levels of forest degradation and increasing aridity. By trapping dust and swelling of cyanobacterial filaments, biocrusts can seal soil surfaces and slow down infiltration, which potentially induces erosion. To quantify hydraulic properties and erosion control, we used minidisc-infiltrometry, raindrop-simulation, and wet sieving at two sites with contrasting disturbance levels: an active cashew plantation an...

Effects of supplementation of tropical fruit processing by-products on lipid profile, retinol levels and intestinal function in Wistar rats
An Acad Bras Cienc. 2023 Apr 17;95(2):e20201684. doi: 10.1590/0001-3765202320201684. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTFruits agro-industrial by-products may have a great variety of bioactive compounds that promote health. Thus, the effects of supplementation with acerola, cashew and guava processing by-products for 28 days on retinol level, lipid profile and on some aspects related to intestinal function in rats were investigated. The animals supplemented with different fruit by-products presented similar weight gain, faecal pH values and intestinal epithelial structures; however, they showed higher moisture and Lactobacillus spp....

Comparative Assessment of Novel Collagen Cross-linking Agents on Push-out Bond Strength of Two Different Sealers: An < em > In Vitro < /em > Study
CONCLUSION: Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that push-out bond strength was found to the maximum in specimens irrigated with cashew nut shell liquid and obturated with bioceramic sealer. The maximum push-out bond strength was seen in the apical third of all root canals followed by the middle and coronal region. The scanning microscopic analysis revealed maximum mean tubular penetration in the coronal portion followed by the middle third and apical third. A greater penetration was seen in specimens irrigated with EGCG and obturated with hybrid sealer.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Selection of sealers play...
