Abstract
Naringenin is a natural flavonoid that is widely distributed in citrus fruits and pharmacologically demonstrated to licit lipid-lowering activity. However, the clinical relevance of naringenin is limited due to its poor water solubility and inefficient absorption. In this study, we designed and developed naringenin-zein-sodium caseinate-galactosylated chitosan nanoparticles (GC-NPs) for hepatocyte-specific targeting, with naringenin-zein-sodium caseinate-chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) as a control. Electrostatic adsorption was the primary binding mode in the GC-NPs and CS-NPs. Moreover, the particle size and zeta potential of GC-NPs were larger than those of CS-NPs and both types of nanoparticles had similar encapsulation rates. In vitro study experiments demonstrated that GC-NPs aggregated inside and outside of the cell membrane and significantly inhibited total triglyceride and cholesterol levels in oleic acid-induced HepG2 cells (p < 0.05). In high-fat diet-fed C57BL/6J mice, GC-NPs administration visibly improved the body weight, total cholesterol, and triglyceride content in the serum and liver, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels improved, which corresponded to liver histological results. Additionally, in vitro and in vivo assays demonstrated that GC-NPs exhibited higher lipid-lowering activity than CS-NPs and naringenin monomers. These results suggest that GC-NPs are effective for oral delivery of naringenin in lipid-lowering therapies.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to measure the concentrations of eleven essential, potentially toxic and toxic elements (arsenic – As, calcium – Ca, cadmium – Cd, copper – Cu, iron – Fe, mercury – Hg, magnesium – Mg, nickel – Ni, lead – Pb, selenium – Se, zinc- Zn) in raw cow’s milk (spring, summer, and autumn season), feed (spring and autumn season) and soil (spring season) from three different environments by routine methods in the certified testing laboratory. The samples were collected in the undisturbed region around Novoť, the moderately disturbed region around Tulčík, and the strongly disturbed region around Čečejovce. The concentrations of all toxic elements (As, Cd, Hg, Ni, Pb) and two essential elements (Cu, Se) in milk were under the limits of quantification (LOQ) from all investigated areas and during all seasons. Concentrations of other elements in milk from the undisturbed and disturbed areas were significantly different, generally with the highest levels in summer. In soil samples, the significantly highest concentrations of Ca, Cu, Ni were found in a strongly disturbed area, Mg and As in moderately disturbed area, and Fe, Se, Zn, Hg, and Pb in an undisturbed area. Cadmium was under the LOQ. In feed, the concentrations of essential elements, except of Se, were higher in the autumn. The significantly highest concentration of As, Ni were recorded in a moderately disturbed area and Pb in the undisturbed area in both seasons. Cadmium and Hg were under the LOQ. Despite the higher level of some elements in soil (Fe, Mg, Ca) from all regions, there were not elevated concentrations of any element in feed or milk. The concentrations of all toxic elements in milk were under the permitted limits. Thus, the milk from all investigated areas was not contaminated with the elements posing a health risk for consumers and it is considered safe for human consumption.

Abstract
Human placenta is rich in mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC), with their origin widely presumed fetal. Cultured placental MSCs are confounded by a high frequency of maternal cell contamination. Our recent systematic review concluded that only a small minority of placental MSC publications report fetal/maternal origin, and failed to discern a specific methodology for isolation of fetal MSC from term villi. We determined isolation conditions to yield fetal and separately maternal MSC during ex vivo expansion from human term placenta. MSCs were isolated via a range of methods in combination; selection from various chorionic regions, different commercial media, mononuclear cell digest and/or explant culture. Fetal and maternal cell identities were quantitated in gender‐discordant pregnancies by XY chromosome fluorescence in situ hybridization. We first demonstrated reproducible maternal cell contamination in MSC cultures from all chorionic anatomical locations tested. Cultures in standard media rapidly became composed entirely of maternal cells despite isolation from fetal villi. To isolate pure fetal cells, we validated a novel isolation procedure comprising focal dissection from the cotyledonary core, collagenase/dispase digestion and explant culture in endothelial growth media that selected, and provided a proliferative environment, for fetal MSC. Comparison of MSC populations within the same placenta confirmed fetal to be smaller, more osteogenic and proliferative than maternal MSC. We conclude that in standard media, fetal chorionic villi‐derived MSC (CV‐MSC) do not grow readily, whereas maternal MSC proliferate to result in maternal overgrowth during culture. Instead, fetal CV‐MSCs require isolation under specific conditions, which has implications for clinical trials using placental MSC. Stem Cells Translational Medicine2017;6:1070–1084
