Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Lipid peroxidation in parenteral nutrition mixtures is still a challenge. We aimed to evaluate the effect of two different amino acid solutions used in different clinical situations on lipid peroxidation of three different lipid emulsions (Intralipid®, ClinOleic® and SMOFlipid®) in all-in-one admixtures during 24 hours of simulated infusion. The selected amino acid solutions included one used in stable patients and one used in renal insufficiency (Aminomel10E® and Nephrotect®, respectively). METHODS Eighteen all-in-one admixtures were prepared. The simulated infusion with light protection was conducted straight after the preparation for 24 hours at room temperature. The lipid peroxidation process was evaluated in all-in-one admixtures and the original lipid emulsion by determining the malondialdehyde levels (HPLC) and conjugated dienes and trienes (spectrophotometry: UV-vis). RESULTS Malondialdehyde in the original packaging was lower in SMOFlipid® (9 µM) compared to Intralipid® (27 µM, p=0.0003) and ClinOleic® (25 µM, p=0.0001). During simulated infusion, Clinoleic® showed a significantly lower rate of lipid peroxidation (26% decrease in aldehyde levels) in comparison to Intralipid® and SMOFlipid® (up to 39% and 31% increase in aldehyde levels, respectively) when the admixture was based on Aminomel10E®. In admixtures based on Nephrotect®, Clinoleic® and SMOFlipid® showed better oxidative stability in comparison to Intralipid. Admixtures based on Nephrotect® and Intralipid had higher levels of primary lipid peroxidation products than those based on Clinoleic® (p=0.030) or SMOFlipid® (p=0.071, NS). CONCLUSIONS Amino acid solutions influence the rate of lipid peroxidation. The observation should be confirmed in larger studies with different amino acid solutions.

Abstract
The C-H functionalization of indole heterocycles constitutes a key strategy to leverage the synthesis of endogenous signaling molecules such as tryptamine or tryptophol. Herein, we report on the photocatalytic reaction of ethyl diazoacetate with indole, which shows an unusual solvent dependency. While C2-functionalization occurs under protic conditions, the use of aprotic solvents leads to a complete reversal of selectivity and exclusive C3-functionalization occurs. To rationalize for this unexpected reactivity switch, we have conducted detailed theoretical and experimental studies, which suggest the participation of a triplet carbene intermediate that undergoes initial C2-functionalization. A distinct cationic [1,2]-alkyl radical migration then leads to formation of C3-functionalized indole. We conclude with the application of this photocatalytic reaction to access oxidized tryptophol derivatives including gram-scale synthesis and derivatization reactions.

Abstract
The aim of this work has been to study the possible degradation path of BPA under the Fenton reaction, namely to determine the energetically favorable intermediate products and to compare the cytotoxicity of BPA and its intermediate products of degradation. The DFT calculations of the Gibbs free energy at M06-2X/6-311G(d,p) level of theory showed that the formation of hydroquinone was the most energetically favorable path in a water environment. To explore the cytotoxicity the erythrocytes were incubated with BPA and three intermediate products of its degradation, i.e., phenol, hydroquinone and 4-isopropylphenol, in the concentrations 5-200 μg/mL, for 1, 4 and 24 h. BPA induced the strongest hemolytic changes in erythrocytes, followed by hydroquinone, phenol and 4-isopropylphenol. In the presence of hydroquinone, the highest level of RONS was observed, whereas BPA had the weakest effect on RONS generation. In addition, hydroquinone decreased the level of GSH the most. Generally, our results suggest that a preferable BPA degradation path under a Fenton reaction should be controlled in order to avoid the formation of hydroquinone. This is applicable to the degradation of BPA during waste water treatment and during chemical degradation in sea water.

Abstract
EPR spectroscopy is a technique that provides direct information about free radicals in biological systems. So far, X-band EPR was seldomly used for in vivo studies as the small resonator size and high power used to detect EPR signals were unsuitable for living organisms. Here, we report new solutions which lift some limitations and make X-band EPR suitable for an in vivo detection of free radicals in zebrafish - a small laboratory animal that is often used as a model for various studies related to free radicals. We designed specially-shaped glass and quartz capillaries to ensure the zebrafish's safety during the experiments. The optimal EPR spectrometer parameters, safe for zebrafish embryos and sufficient to obtain EPR spectrum, were 4 scans by 20s, 100G sweep, and 0.8 mW power. Combining the specially-shaped capillary with a multi-harmonic analyzer for the EPR spectrometer allowed increasing the time up to 16 scans by 11s and lowering the power to 0.25 mW. As a proof of principle, we demonstrate the detection of melanin radicals and the 5-DSA spin probe in zebrafish larvae. As fish survive the EPR scans, the possibility of performing multiple measurements of free radicals in living zebrafish offers new tools for studies aiming to understand redox biology and membrane-dependent functions in both health and disease.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Despite significant improvement in the treatment of tendon injuries, the full tissue recovery is often not possible because of its limited ability to auto-repair. The transplantation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is considered as a novel approach in the treatment of tendinopathies. The question about the optimal culture conditions remains open. In this study we aimed to investigate if serum reduction, L-ascorbic acid supplementation or a combination of both factors can induce tenogenic differentiation of human adipose-derived MSCs (ASCs). Methods and Results Human ASCs from 3 healthy donors were used in the study. The tested conditions were: 0.5 mM of ascorbic acid 2-phosphate (AA-2P), reduced serum content (2% FBS) or combination of these two factors. The combination of AA-2P and 2% FBS was the only experimental condition that caused a significant increase of the expression of all analyzed genes related to tenogenesis (SCLERAXIS, MOHAWK, COLLAGEN_1, COLLAGEN_3, DECORIN) in comparison to the untreated control (evaluated by RT-PCR, 5th day of experiment). Moreover, this treatment significantly increased the synthesis of SCLERAXIS, MOHAWK, COLLAGEN_1, COLLAGEN_3 proteins at the same time point (evaluated by Western blot method). Double immunocytochemical staining revealed that AA-2P significantly increased the extracellular deposition of both types of collagens. Semi-quantitative Electron Spin Resonance analysis of ascorbyl free radical revealed that AA-2P do not induce harmful transition metals-driven redox reactions in cell culture media. Conclusions Obtained results justify the use of reduced content of serum with the addition of 0.5 mM of AA-2P in tenogenic inducing media.

Abstract
The polyphenol content and antioxidant capacity of hyperforin and hypericin-standardized H. perforatum L. extracts may vary due to the harvest time. In this work, ethanol and ethanol-water extracts of air-dried and lyophilized flowers of H. perforatum L., collected throughout a vegetation season in central Poland, were studied. Air-dried flowers extracts had higher polyphenol (371 mg GAE/g) and flavonoid (160 mg CAE/g) content, DPPH radical scavenging (1672 mg DPPH/g), ORAC (5214 µmol TE/g) and FRAP (2.54 mmol Fe2+/g) than lyophilized flowers extracts (238 mg GAE/g, 107 mg CAE/g, 1287 mg DPPH/g, 3313 µmol TE/g and 0.31 mmol Fe2+/g, respectively). Principal component analysis showed that the collection date influenced the flavonoid and polyphenol contents and FRAP of ethanol extracts, and DPPH and ORAC values of ethanol-water extracts. The ethanol extracts with the highest polyphenol and flavonoid content protected human erythrocytes against bisphenol A-induced damage. Both high field and benchtop NMR spectra of selected extracts, revealed differences in composition caused by extraction solvent and raw material collection date. Moreover, we have shown that benchtop NMR can be used to detect the compositional variation of extracts if the assignment of signals is done previously.

Abstract
The development of functional beverages often requires a compromise between the palatability and high content of bio-active compounds. The purpose of this study was to elaborate on the fruit-herbal beverages with defined pro-health functions and evaluate their consumer acceptance. The beverages contained 80% of juices obtained from the fruits of aronia, rugosa rose, acerola, sea buckthorn, and cranberry. Each beverage was supplemented with different plant extracts which enhanced the designed functions of the beverage. The beverages were sweetened with sugar or with steviol glycosides, and were preserved by thermal pasteurization. The main groups of bio-active compounds and antioxidant capacity using ABTS, DPPH, and ORAC methods were analysed before and after pasteurization. The sensory acceptance was tested by 60 adult consumers who assessed the desirability of taste, odour, colour, and overall quality. Each beverage contained substantial amounts of polyphenols, including anthocyanins; rosehip-acerola and sea buckthorn beverages were also sources of vitamin C and carotenoids. All these components were stable under thermal treatment. Rosehip-acerola beverages had the highest antioxidant capacity, which was measured using all three methods exhibited. The highest level of consumer acceptance and willingness to purchase went to aronia beverages, while the sea buckthorn gained the lowest. There was no significant difference between the acceptance of beverages sweetened with sugar and stevia. Women and the 25- to 34-year-old consumer group rated the overall acceptability of the beverages slightly higher, although this was not reflected in their inclination to buy them. Attitude toward proper body mass and health had no influence on overall acceptance and willingness to complete the purchases. The main motivation for purchasing the functional beverages was their sensory acceptance, even if the consumers were informed of their potential health benefits.

Abstract
Aronia fruits contain many valuable components that are beneficial to human health. However, fruits are characterized by significant variations in chemical composition dependent on the growing conditions and harvesting period. Therefore, there is a need to formulate the extracts with a precisely defined content of health-promoting substances. Aronia dry extracts (ADE) were prepared from frozen pomace applying water extraction, followed by purification and spray-drying. Subsequently, the content of anthocyanins, phenolic acids, and polyphenols was determined. The high-quality chokeberry pomace enabled obtaining extracts with anthocyanin content much higher than the typical market standards. Moreover, it was found that the antioxidant capacity of aronia extracts exceeded those found in other fruit preparations. Antioxidant and free-radical scavenging properties were evaluated using a 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl using Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy (DPPH-EPR) test and Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) assay. The inhibition of lipid peroxidation and the level of inflammatory markers have been also investigated using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264 cells. It was revealed that ADE standardized to 25% of anthocyanins depresses the level of markers of inflammation and lipid peroxidation (Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and malondialdehyde (MDA)) in in vitro conditions. Additionally, it was confirmed that ADE at all analyzed concentrations did not show any cytotoxic effect as demonstrated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay.

Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is a versatile tool of chemical analysis allowing one to determine structures of molecules with atomic resolution. Particularly informative are two-dimensional (2D) experiments that directly identify atoms coupled by chemical bonds or a through-space interaction. Thus, NMR could potentially be powerful tool to study reactions in situ and explain their mechanisms. Unfortunately, 2D NMR is very time-consuming and thus often cannot serve as a "snapshot" technique for in situ reaction monitoring. Particularly difficult is the case of spectra, in which resonance frequencies vary in the course of reaction. This leads to resolution and sensitivity loss, often hindering the detection of transient products. In this paper we introduce a novel approach to correct such nonstationary 2D NMR signals and raise the detection limits over 10 times. We demonstrate success of its application for studying the mechanism of the reaction of AgSO4-induced synthesis of diphenylmethane-type compounds. Several reactions occur in the studied mixture of benzene and toluene, all with rather low yield and leading to compounds with similar chemical shifts. Nevertheless, with the use of a proposed 2D NMR approach we were able to describe complex mechanisms of diphenylmethane formation involving AgSO4-induced toluene deprotonation and formation of benzyl carbocation, followed by nucleophilic attacks.

Abstract
While quantum dots (QDs) are useful as fluorescent labels, their application in biosciences is limited due to the stability and hydrophobicity of their surface. In this study, we tested two types of proteins for use as a cover for spherical QDs, composed of cadmium selenide. Pumilio homology domain (Puf), which is mostly α-helical, and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain, which is rich in β-sheets, were selected to determine if there is a preference for one of these secondary structure types for nanoparticle covers. The protein sequences were optimized to improve their interaction with the surface of QDs. The solubilization of the apoproteins and their assembly with nanoparticles required the application of a detergent, which was removed in subsequent steps. Finally, only the Puf-based cover was successful enough as a QD hydrophilic cover. We showed that a single polypeptide dimer of Puf, PufPuf, can form a cover. We characterized the size and fluorescent properties of the obtained QD:protein assemblies. We showed that the secondary structure of the Puf proteins was not destroyed upon contact with the QDs. We demonstrated that these assemblies do not promote the formation of reactive oxygen species during illumination of the nanoparticles. The data represent advances in the effort to obtain a stable biocompatible cover for QDs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of repeated exposure (5 times for 15min) of 1800MHz radio-frequency radiation (RFR) on N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor subunit NR1 (NMDA-NR1) expression in the brains of rats in a persistent inflammatory state. We also measured the effect of RFR combined with tramadol (TRAM) to determine the potential antioxidant capacity of this agent. METHODS The effects of the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) modulated 1800MHz RFR exposure on the expression and activity of glutamate receptor channels with antioxidative activity in brain tissue was measured using oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) and electron spin resonance (ESR) detection of the hydroxyl radical generated by the Fenton reaction. NMDA-NR1 was measured in the cerebral tissue of rats with inflammation (complete Freund's adjuvent) and those injected with tramadol after RFR exposure (RFR, RFR/TRAM) and in non-exposed (baseline, TRAM) rats. RESULTS No differences between the baseline group and the exposed group (RFR) were observed. NMDA-NR1 expression decreased after CFA injection and RFR exposure, and an elevated expression of NMDA-NR1 was observed in healthy control rats of both groups: TRAM/RFR and RFR. CONCLUSIONS ORAC assessment revealed a robust effect of RFR, however the other experiments revealed equivocal effects. Further studies examining the combination of ORAC with NMDA are warranted to elucidate more clearly the effect of RFR on the brain.

Abstract
Metalloporphyrins not only are vital in biological systems but also are valuable catalysts in organic synthesis. On the other hand, catalytic properties of free base porphyrins have been less explored. They are mostly known as efficient photosensitizers for the generation of singlet oxygen via photoinduced energy transfer processes, but under light irradiation, they can also participate in electron transfer processes. Indeed, we have found that free base tetraphenylporphyrin (H2TPP) is an efficient photoredox catalyst for the reaction of aldehydes with diazo compounds leading to α-alkylated derivatives. The performance of a porphyrin catalyst can be optimized by tailoring various substituents at the periphery of the macrocycle at both the β and meso positions. This allows for the fine tuning of their optical and electrochemical properties and hence their catalytic activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oxidative DNA damage leads to abnormalities in endogenous cellular processes and constitutes a direct link between free radicals, antioxidants and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) method is used to measure antioxidant capacity versus oxygen free radicals. There is no report on the application of ORAC to evaluate salivary antioxidant capacity in patients with head and neck SCC. This study investigated the relation between total antioxidant capacity of saliva, measured with ORAC method, and the incidence, location, size and histopathological grading of SCC. METHODS Salivary antioxidant capacity was assessed in 30 male and female patients with histopathologically confirmed oral and laryngeal SCC. Histopathological grading of SCC was based on WHO classification. RESULTS Mean ORAC in patients with SCC was higher than the mean value in the control group. Statistically significant difference was observed in the study group versus the control group. No significant differences were observed for ORAC values in relation to histopathological grading, tumour size and spread to lymph nodes. CONCLUSIONS The obtained results can advocate local compensatory mechanism in saliva in response to increased oxidative stress associated with primary tumour. ORAC can become an additional factor in head and neck SCC prognosis, but further investigation is required.

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) acts as an endocrine-disrupting compound even at a low concentration. Degradation of BPA could lead to the formation of toxic products. In this study, we compare the toxicity of BPA and seven intermediate products of its degradation. The accuracy of three molecular docking programs (Surflex, Autodock, and Autodock Vina) in predicting the binding affinities of selected compounds to human (ERα, ERβ, and ERRγ) and zebrafish (ERα, ERRγA, and ERRγB) estrogen and estrogen-related receptors was evaluated. The docking experiments showed that 4-isopropylphenol could have similar toxicity to that of BPA due to its high affinity to ERRγ and ERRγB and high octanol-water partitioning coefficient. The least toxic compounds were hydroquinone and phenol. Those compounds as well as BPA were screened in the zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo test. 4-isopropylphenol had the strongest toxic effect on zebrafish embryos and caused 100% lethality shortly after exposure. BPA caused the delay in development, multiple deformations, and low heartbeats (30 bps), whereas hydroquinone had no impact on the development of the zebrafish embryo. Thus, the results of zebrafish screening are in good agreement with our docking experiment. The molecular docking could be used to screen the toxicity of other xenoestrogens and their products of degradation.

Abstract
BackgroundChronic respiratory diseases which embrace asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are common conditions in the population. In a large number of cases, they are diagnosed very late. Statistics of deaths, especially in the case of COPD, are underestimated because morbidity and mortality can be affected by other comorbid conditions, for example cardiovascular disease.ObjectiveThe objective of this analysis was to find out the corelation between the psychological distress and social factors in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease.MethodsA literature analysis on this topic was performed. Asthma and COPD impair not only physical functioning of patients but also affect their psychological state. Mood disorders and cognitive function impairment are more often observed in this group than in the general population. It has been proven that the coexistence of psychological dysfunction significantly worsens the functioning of patients (affects, among others, their work, family and social lives) and has an impact on the course of the treatment of the somatic illness. First of all, patients with cognitive deficits have greater problems in applying treatment recommendations. Accordingly, it seems to be important to pay more attention to the problem of mental disorders in patients with obstructive lung diseases.ConclusionsThere is a clear need for a multidisciplinary approach that will enable prevention, early detection and effective treatment of the psychological disorders in that group of patients.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS), defined as a disturbance in the balance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant defenses, can result in the development of many serious diseases like diabetes or cancer. Moreover, the role of oxidative stress in the acceleration of the aging process is also confirmed. ROS are constantly produced in the natural biochemical processes, mainly during cellular respiration. Their enhanced production may be the result of e.g., an inappropriate diet high in saturated fats, low in fiber, fruits and vegetables, insufficient physical activity or smoking. To prevent oxidative stress, besides changes in life style, the additional supplementation of antioxidants is proposed. On the Polish market, the number of food supplements with declared antioxidant activity is still increasing. However, their antioxidant properties are rarely confirmed experimentally. The aim of our study was to determine the antioxidant potential of selected dietary supplements available on the market and recommended in chronic fatigue syndrome. The antioxidant potential was measured using four methods: FRAP, ORAC, HORAC, EPR/DPPH. Moreover, the content of polyphenols in the dietary supplements was also determined.

Abstract
AbstractVegetable oils are important constituents of a healthy diet. Still, unsaturated fatty acids present in vegetable oils are susceptible to oxidation, which leads to undesirable changes in sensory, chemical and nutritional properties of oils. To prevent this problem, antioxidants are applied with herbs and spices being one of the most important sources of natural antioxidants. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) can be used to detect free radicals, which are the short-lived intermediates of lipid oxidation, and to monitor changes in oxidation susceptibility. In this study, the ESR spin trapping technique was used as a potential method for the evaluation of the resistance to free radical formation in rapeseed and sunflower oils enriched with herb extracts. The antioxidant effect of herb extracts on vegetable oils was also investigated by measuring their ability to scavenge DPPH free radical using EPR spectroscopy. The herb extracts generally improved the radical scavenging properties of sunflower and rapeseed oils but their influence on the onset of rapid lipid oxidation as measured by spin-trapping EPR depended on the type of oil and on the extract concentration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Herbhoneys, relatively new bee products, are expected to have interesting medicinal properties. However, there is still a lack of data concerning their composition and antioxidant properties. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy coupled with chemometric analysis (PCA and PLS-DA) and antioxidant assays (DPPH-ESR and ORAC-FL) were used to study 25 samples of Polish herbhoneys and honeys. RESULTS Antioxidant activity varied among the samples. The best properties were exhibited by cocoa and instant coffee herbhoneys. The contents of total polyphenols and total carotenoids in the studied samples were found to be 70-1340 mg GAE kg⁻¹ and 0-28.05 mg kg⁻¹ respectively. No significant differences between herbhoney and honey samples were found in their sugar profiles. The PCA of ¹³C NMR spectra of the samples in DMSO-d6 resulted in sample clustering due to sucrose content. CONCLUSION Herbhoneys have similar antioxidant properties to traditional honeys, being therefore of equal nutritional value. There was a noticeable influence of the extract concentration on the observed antioxidant effect. For samples with high antioxidant activity, polyphenols were responsible for the observed effect. Sample clustering due to sucrose content in the NMR-PCA study allowed effortless detection of adulteration.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to search for more effective derivatives of the superoxide dismutase mimetic tempol (4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl). Although tempol is neuroprotective in a rat partial optic nerve crush (PONC) model, relatively high doses are required to exert this effect. METHODS Tempol acyl esters with different-length fatty acids (tempol-C4, tempol-C8, tempol-C12 and tempol-C16) were synthesized and the following properties were evaluated: water-octanol partition coefficient, liposome-liposome energy transfer, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Brown Norway rats underwent PONC and received tempol or acyl esters intraperitoneally once daily for 7 consecutive days. We then compared the effects of tempol and its four esters on retinal ganglion cell (RGC) damage using a retrograde labelling method. RESULTS The water-octanol partition coefficient increased with increasing length of attached acyl chain. However, the energy of the liposome-liposome transfer seemed to be optimal for tempol-C8 and tempol-C12. The EPR signal was very similar for all tested compounds, suggesting similar efficiency of superoxide scavenging. Partial optic nerve crush in vehicle-treated animals reduced RGC numbers by approx. 59% when compared with sham-operated eyes. Tempol did not affect RGC loss at a dose of 1 mg/kg. In contrast, at molar doses equivalent to 1 mg/kg of tempol, tempol-C8 showed a significant neuroprotective effect, whereas tempol-C4, tempol-C12 and tempol-C16 did not act neuroprotectively. CONCLUSION Manipulating the hydrophobicity of tempol seems to be a promising tool for developing more potent neuroprotectants in the PONC degeneration model. However, the resulting compounds need further pharmacological evaluation.

Abstract
Oxidation status of the salivary aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) was measured in healthy human population using two-assay fluorimetric method and compared with antioxidant capacity (ORAC) in non-smoking and heavy smokers group. Influence of high or low antioxidant diet was also examined. Except for the group of smokers, the salivary ALDH oxidation degree in human saliva was not correlated with antioxidant capacity. Simultaneously direct administration of the antioxidant-containing drug, Fluimucil, resulted in short-term, but statistically significant increase of the reduced (active) form of the enzyme, presumably due to a radical-scavenging activity of the drug.
