- Cytotoxicity was evaluated (4/7) using the trypan blue dye test.
- Accumulations of nickel (7/7), chromium (5/7), and other metals (zinc, cobalt, iron, manganese, molybdenum, titanium) were also quantified.
- The results allowed us to conclude that release of metal ions and acute cell and DNA damage in oral mucosa cells takes place in the early stages of treatment.
Evaluation of Fetal Exposures to Metals and Metalloids through Meconium Analyses: A Review
Michelsen-Correa S et al. • International journal of environmental research and public health (2021)
Among these are questions of the developmental and long-term significance of metals detected in meconium, the kinetics and interactions among metals in maternal and fetal compartments and questions on best methods for meconium analyses.
- What stands out is that almost every study had subjects with seemingly large amounts of at least one of the metals.
- The significance of metals in meconium is not clear beyond an indication of exposure although some studies have correlated metals in meconium to a number of adverse outcomes.
- A number of outstanding questions have been identified that, if resolved, would greatly increase the utility of meconium analysis for assessment of long-term gestational metals exposures.
Neonatal seizures as onset of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEMs): from diagnosis to treatment. A systematic review
Falsaperla R et al. • Metabolic brain disease (2021)
This systematic-review examined the effects of Molybdenum.
- Herein, we report a systematic review on those IEMs that lead to NS and epilepsy in the neonatal period, studying only those IEMs not included in the ENS with tandem mass, suggesting clinical, biochemical features, and diagnostic work-up.
- Remarkably, we have observed a worse neurological outcome in infants undergoing only a treatment with common AED for their seizures, in comparison to those primarily treated with specific anti-convulsant treatment for the underlying metabolic disease (e.g.Ketogenic Diet, B6 vitamin).
- For this reason, we underline the importance of an early diagnosis in order to promptly intervene with a targeted treatment without waiting for drug resistance to arise.© 2021.
A systematic review on black pepper (Piper nigrum L.): from folk uses to pharmacological applications
Takooree H et al. • Critical reviews in food science and nutrition (2019)
As a conclusive remark, P. nigrum should not only be regarded as "King of spices" but can also be considered as part of the kingdom of medicinal agents, comprising a panoply of bioactive compounds with potential nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications.
- The major bioactive compound identified in P. nigrum is piperine although other compounds are also present including piperic acid, piperlonguminine, pellitorine, piperolein B, piperamide, piperettine, and (-)-kusunokinin, which also showed biological potency.
- Most pharmacological studies were conducted in vitro (n = 60) while only 21 in vivo and 1 clinical trial were performed.
- Hence, more in vivo experiments using a pharmacokinetic and pharmacokinetic approach would be beneficial.

Parenteral trace element provision: recent clinical research and practical conclusions
Stehle P et al. • European journal of clinical nutrition (2016)
To avoid trace element deprivation or imbalances, physiological doses are recommended.
- Important physiological functions in human metabolism are known for nine trace elements: selenium, zinc, copper, manganese, chromium, iron, molybdenum, iodine and fluoride.
- Lack of, or an insufficient supply of, these trace elements in nutrition therapy over a prolonged period is associated with trace element deprivation, which may lead to a deterioration of existing clinical symptoms and/or the development of characteristic malnutrition syndromes.
- Therefore, all parenteral nutrition prescriptions should include a daily dose of trace elements.
