Article Abstract
Background: Aim of this study was to assess the lipid status of the patients of pediatric rheumatologic diseases (pRDS).
Methods: This observational study was carried out in the department of pediatrics, Khulna medical college hospital, Bangladesh for a period of one year. Total 23 patients were included in this study. These new cases were diagnosed according to the ILAR, ACR, and EULAR criteria. Early morning blood samples were sent to the laboratory for the assessment of lipid status (TC, TG, HDL, and LDL). These values were collected and statistically recorded.
Results: Total new cases of pRDS were 23. Among them JIA was 15, SLE 4, and Vasculitis 4 in number. HSP was in 3 and KD in 1 cases of vasculitis group. Male/ Female ratio is 1.6:1. Mean age of the diseases were 8.54 years. TC, and TG was found in significant level in 4(17.4%), and 12(52.8%) pRDS cases respectively. HDL was observed of risk level in 4(17.3%) patients. LDL was observed normal in all the patients. TG was found of significant level in 7(46.7%) JIA, 3(75%) SLE and 2 (50%) vasculitis patients.
Conclusion: TG was the lipid observed in significant level in majority of the new pRDS cases. Elevated TG might be considered as an index of disease activity in all cases of pRDS. Measures could be adopted in all pRDS to control the lipid status from the beginning of illness to reduce the complications from dyslipidemia like atherosclerosis and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in future.

Objectives: This study aims to assess periodontal and biochemical parameters and evaluate the salivary Protectin D1 levels in periodontitis patients with and without metabolic syndrome after non-surgical periodontal therapy.
Materials And Methods: Forty patients were categorized into two groups: 20 patients in Group P (systemically healthy patients with stage II/III grade B periodontitis) and 20 patients in Group P+MS (patients with stage II/III grade B periodontitis and metabolic syndrome). Parameters including age, gender, height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, socio-economic status, oral hygiene index (OHI), modified gingival index (MGI), probing pocket depth, clinical attachment levels, fasting blood glucose, HDL-c, total triglycerides, and blood pressure were recorded.

Studies indicate that dietary patterns influence the function and redox balance of salivary glands. This study examined the effects of intermittent fasting (IF) on the function, histological structure, and redox balance of the salivary glands. Twenty 12-weeks-old male Wistar rats were randomized into two groups: ad libitum (AL), with continuous access to water and chow, and IF, subjected to 24-hour fasting on alternate days for 12 weeks.

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of lyophilized cell-free supernatant (CFS) obtained from Lacticaseibacillus paracasei B1 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum O24 cultures on the characteristics of cooked pork sausages stored by 21 days at 4 °C. The following parameters were assessed: antioxidant activity (ABTS, Reducing Power, Fe-chelating activity), texture parameters (hardness, springiness, gumminess, chewiness) and color changes (L*,a*,b*), as well as the fatty acid profile and TBARS content as an indicator of lipid oxidation. Microbiological status was also assessed.

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder of increasing global concern. Characterized by constantly elevated levels of glucose, severe β-cell dysfunction, and insulin resistance, it is the cause of a major burden on patients if not managed with therapeutic and lifestyle changes. The human body is slowly developing tolerance to many marketed antidiabetic drugs and the quest for the discovery of newer molecules continues.

Sperm capacitation is a critical process for successful fertilization, involving multiple regulated cellular changes. On the other hand, cryopreservation induces membrane changes that can mimic capacitation, potentially leading to misinterpretation of sperm function. Distinguishing true capacitation from cryoinjury remains challenging, as both share surface markers despite involving distinct mechanisms and impacts on fertilization.
