Abstract
Based on nationally representative samples from US, we aimed to assess the associations of vitamins with hearing loss, vision disorder and sleep problem. A total of 25,312, 8425 and 24,234 participants were included in this study to investigate the relationship of vitamins with hearing loss, vision disorder and sleep problem from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, respectively. Vitamins including niacin, folic acid, vitamin B6, A, C, E and carotenoids were considered in our study. Logistic regression models were used to assess the associations between all included dietary vitamin intake concentrations and the prevalence of specific outcomes. Increased lycopene (odds ratio [OR]: 0.904, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.829-0.985) intake was associated with a deceased prevalence of hearing loss. Higher dietary intake of folic acid (OR: 0.637, 95% CI: 0.443-0.904), vitamin B6 (0.667, 0.465-0.947), alpha-carotene (0.695, 0.494-0.968), beta-carotene (0.703, 0.505-0.969) and lutein + zeaxanthin (0.640, 0.455-0.892) were associated with a decreased prevalence of vision disorder. The inversely associations of sleeping problem with niacin (OR: 0.902, 95% CI: 0.826-0.985), folic acid (0.882, 0.811-0.959), vitamin B6 (0.892, 0.818-0.973), vitamin C (0.908, 0.835-0.987), vitamin E (0.885, 0.813-0.963) and lycopene (0.919, 0.845-0.998) were also observed. Our findings provide evidence that increased specific vitamin intake is associated with decreased prevalence of hearing loss, vision disorder and sleep problem.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study determined whether oxidative stress causes the developmental abnormalities of the enteric nervous system during the embryonic period. METHODS Using the test results of tissue specimens of children with Hirschsprung disease (HSCR), we established a pregnant rat model of oxidative stress and a cellular oxidative stress model to conduct related molecular, cellular, and histopathological experiments for exploration and validation. RESULTS The results of the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction assay indicated overexpression of pyroptosis markers (NLRP3, ASC, and caspase-1) in HSCR lesions and newborn pups in the oxidative stress group (treated with D-galactose). The expression of cathepsin D was significantly decreased in intestinal tissues of newborn pups in the oxidative stress group compared to the control group. Reactive oxygen species scavengers (N-acetyl-cysteine, NAC), the caspase-1 inhibitor (VX-765), and the NLRP3 siRNA could reverse the release of LDH, decrease the number of propidium iodide stained cells, and reduce the percentage of TUNEL/caspase-3 double-positive cells in the H2O2-treated group. CONCLUSION Oxidative stress can induce the death of enteric nerve cells by activating caspase-1-dependent pyroptosis through NLRP3 inflammasomes, which may contribute to abnormal enteric nervous system development.

Abstract
Tectochrysin, a flavonoid compound, can be isolated from propolis, Alpinia oxyphylla Miq, and Lychnophora markgravii. This study evaluated the efficacy of tectochrysin in the treatment of shrimp tropomyosin (ST)-induced mouse asthma. Mice were sensitized with intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of ST together with aluminum hydroxide as an adjuvant to establish a mouse model of asthma. Mice were i.p.-treated daily with tectochrysin. IgE levels in plasma, Th2 cytokines from both bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and splenocytes, and CD200R on basophils in peripheral blood were measured. Histological analyses of lung tissues and accumulation of leukocytes in BAL fluid were performed. Lung eosinophil peroxidase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities were examined. ST was found to markedly increase eosinophilic inflammation and Th2 response in mice. Tectochrysin treatment reduced the level of IgE in plasma, the percentage of eosinophils in total white blood cells in peripheral blood, the total number of cells in BAL fluid, and eosinophil peroxidase activity in lung tissues. Tectochrysin attenuated ST-induced infiltration of eosinophils and epithelial mucus secretion in lung tissues and suppressed the overproduction of Th2 cytokines (IL-4 and IL-5) in BAL fluid. Tectochrysin also attenuated Th2 cytokine (IL-4 and IL-5) production from antigen-stimulated murine splenocytes in vitro, decreased the expression of CD200R on basophils in peripheral blood of asthmatic mice and inhibited IL-4 secretion from IgE-sensitized RBL-2H3 cells. In addition, tectochrysin enhanced catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities in lung tissues. Our findings demonstrate that TEC ameliorates allergic airway inflammation by suppressing Th2 response and oxidative stress.

Abstract
Oxidative damage to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and cell apoptosis are heavily implicated in aging. Our previous study established a mimetic rat model of aging in the cochleae using D‑galactose (D‑gal), and revealed that chronic injection of D‑gal can increase oxidative stress and mtDNA common deletions (CD). The aim of the present study was to investigate the sources of reactive oxygen species and the occurrence of apoptosis in the cochleae of rats following 8 weeks of D‑gal exposure. The results of the present study indicated that an elevated accumulation of the mtDNA CD and mitochondrial ultrastructural damage occurred in the cochleae of rats injected with D‑gal for 8 weeks. In addition, the levels of 8‑hydroxy‑2‑deoxyguanosine, NADPH oxidase (NOX) 3, P22phox and cleaved caspase 3, and the number of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase‑mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick‑end‑labelling‑positive cells were increased in the cochleae of D‑gal‑treated rats, compared with the controls. These findings suggested that nitric oxide synthase NOX3‑associated oxidative stress may contribute to the accumulation of mtDNA mutations and activate a caspase 3‑dependent apoptotic signalling pathway in the cochleae during aging. The present study also provided novel insights into the development of age‑associated hearing loss, also termed presbycusis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS The aim of the present study was to determine the beneficial effects of beta-carotene fortified synbiotic food intake on metabolic status in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS This randomized double-blinded placebo-controlled crossover clinical trial was conducted among 51 patients with T2DM. Individuals were randomly assigned to take either a beta-carotene fortified synbiotic (n = 51) or control food (n = 51) for 6 weeks. The beta-carotene fortified synbiotic was containing Lactobacillus sporogenes (1 × 10(7) CFU), 0.1 g inulin and 0.05 g beta-carotene. Control food (the same substance without probiotic, inulin and beta-carotene) was packed in identical 9-g packages. Patients were requested to use the beta-carotene fortified synbiotic and control foods three times a day. RESULTS Beta-carotene fortified synbiotic food consumption resulted in a significant decrease in insulin (-1.00 ± 7.90 vs. +3.68 ± 6.91 μIU/mL, P = 0.002), HOMA-IR (-0.73 ± 3.96 vs. +1.82 ± vbnm4.09, P = 0.002), HOMA-B (-0.52 ± 19.75 vs. +8.71 ± 17.15, P = 0.01), triglycerides (-2.86 ± 49.53 vs. +20.14 ± 50.10 mg/dL, P = 0.02), VLDL-cholesterol levels (-0.57 ± 9.90 vs. +4.03 ± 10.02 mg/dL, P = 0.02) and total-/HDL-cholesterol ratio (-0.01 ± 1.08 vs. +0.64 ± 0.81, P = 0.001) compared to the control food. In addition, beta-carotene fortified synbiotic food consumption led to elevated plasma nitric oxide (NO) (+6.83 ± 16.14 vs. -3.76 ± 16.47 μmol/L, P = 0.001) and glutathione (GSH) (+36.58 ± 296.71 vs. -92.04 ± 243.05 μmol/L, P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Beta-carotene fortified synbiotic food intake in patients with T2DM for 6 weeks had favorable effects on insulin, HOMA-IR, HOMA-B, triglycerides, VLDL-cholesterol, total-/HDL-cholesterol ratio, NO and GSH levels.
