A Multi-criteria decision analysis framework tool for the selection of farm business models on organic mountain farms.

The integrated computer simulation model KARSIM 1.0 for planning and decision making was developed. The KARSIM 1.0 consists from two main models: technologic - economic simulation model for conventional farms and technologic - economic simulation model for organic farms.

antioxidants in the total antioxidant activity of selected plum cultivars

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contribution of extractable antioxidants and non-extractable phenolics to the total antioxidant activity (TAA) of plums. Extractable antioxidants contributed less than 18% to the TAA. The ripening resulted in an increase of TAA up to 38%.

Tylosema esculentum (Marama) extracts are strong antiviral agents against rotavirus infection.

Tylosema esculentum (marama) beans and tubers are used as food, and traditional medicine against diarrhoea in Southern Africa. Rotaviruses (RVs) are a major cause of diarrhoea among infants, young children, immunocompromised people, and domesticated animals. Marama cotyledon ethanolic extract (MCE) and cotyledon water extract (MCW) without RV were not cytotoxic to all cells tested, while seed coat and tuber extracts showed variable levels of cytotoxicity.

Functional cell models of the gut and their applications in food microbiology

We review the available cell lines and models of the intestine and their potential uses. Tumor derived cell lines such as Caco-2, T84 and HT-29 are widely used despite many drawbacks, which are discussed with respect to complexity of the gut, where various cell types interact with commensal microbiota and gut-associated lymphoid tissue. To address this complexity, 3D models of human and animal gut represent a promising in vitro system to mimic in vivo situation without the use of transformed cell lines.

Serum cystatin C-based formulas for prediction of glomerular filtration rate in patients with chronic kidney disease.

In this study, that involved a large group of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), compared different serum cystatin C-based equations for prediction of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) has been investigated. . Our results indicate that all serum cystatin C-based equations, excluding the Larsson formula, are reliable markers of the GFR in patients with CKD, and for daily clinical practice the simplest formula (100/cystatin C) could be accurate enough for GFR estimation.
