Abstract

Background: More than 90% of adults with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese. This condition is known to increase oxidative stress, which contributes to cellular damage and disease complications. As a functional food, kefir has long been recognized for its various health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic properties. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the potential of randu honey kefir in preventing oxidative stress in diabetic rats. Methods: This study employed a randomized block design with a 21-day intervention period. A total of 42 male Sprague Dawley rats aged 6–8 weeks were divided into six groups: KS (standard), KN (negative control), K1 (quercetin), K2 (metformin), P1 (randu honey kefir 1.8 mL/200g BW), and P2 (preventive group). Diabetes was induced using streptozotocin at 40 mg/kgBW combined with a high-fat diet. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were analyzed using spectrophotometry, while interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels were measured using ELISA kits. Results: Significant differences (p-value<0.05) were observed in MDA, TNF-α, and IL-6 levels between the P1 and P2 groups compared with the KN group. Randu honey kefir groups showed mean oxidative stress marker levels comparable to those of quercetin and metformin treatments, including MDA (P1: 32.9 ± 29.35 nmol/mL; P2: 23.77 ± 11.63 nmol/mL), TNF-α (P1: 45.37 ± 31.25 pg/mL; P2: 37.81 ± 27.00 pg/mL), and IL-6 (P1: 64.81 ± 21.35 pg/mL; P2: 59.23 ± 14.95 pg/mL). Conclusions: Randu honey kefir intervention demonstrates potential in suppressing oxidative stress in diabetic rats.

Abstract

Fermented rice water (FRW) has been traditionally used for skin care, but its biological mechanisms on fibroblasts, key cells in wound healing, have not been fully characterized. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of FRW on fibroblast proliferation and migration and to identify the molecular pathways involved. A literature search was conducted through PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar using the keywords "fermented rice water," "fibroblast," and "wound healing" in publications from 2015 to 2025. Studies were included if they evaluated the effects of FRW on fibroblasts in vitro or in vivo. Risk of bias was assessed using SYRCLE RoB (Risk Of Bias). Four studies met the inclusion criteria. FRW increased fibroblast viability by up to 116% and accelerated diabetic wound closure from 27% to 71% compared to controls. Molecular analysis showed upregulation of Collagen I mRNA by 17%, Collagen III by 47%, and Elastin by 159%. FRW activated the NRF2 pathway, which increased the expression of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, HO-1) and decreased inflammatory mediators including TNF-α, NF-κB, and MMP-1. Bioactive metabolites from Lactobacillus plantarum, Bacillus cereus, and Aspergillus oryzae played a role in these therapeutic effects. FRW shows potential as a fibroblast bio-stimulator through multi-pathway modulation involving extracellular matrix synthesis, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects, with prospects for application in chronic wounds and anti-aging that require further clinical validation.

Abstract

Introduction: The secretome of human dermal fibroblasts consists of diverse bioactive molecules including proteins and extracellular vesicles (EVs), playing a key role in skin regeneration and homeostasis. Molecular weight-based fractionation provides insights into the functional heterogeneity of the conditioned medium (CM). This study aimed to characterize size-fractionated CM from fibroblasts to reveal its molecular properties and potential bioactivity.Methods: A descriptive laboratory study was conducted using conditioned medium from passage 5 human dermal fibroblasts cultured in serum-free conditions. Tangential flow filtration (TFF) was applied to fractionate the CM into low (LMW), medium (MMW), and high molecular weight (HMW) components. Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) quantified EV particle concentration and size, while total protein content was assessed by BCA assay. Experiments were performed in triplicate (n=3).Results: Particle concentrations increased with molecular weight, with HMW fractions showing the highest counts but slightly smaller average particle sizes compared to LMW and MMW fractions. Total protein concentration also rose with molecular weight, peaking in HMW fractions, indicating enrichment of larger protein complexes and vesicles. Fractionation maintained consistent particle size distribution across fractions, supporting effective separation.Conclusion: Fibroblast secretome exhibits heterogeneous EV and protein populations distinguishable by molecular weight fractionation. The enriched higher molecular weight fractions contain more EVs and proteins, suggesting distinct biological roles. Combining TFF with further purification steps may enhance separation purity, facilitating therapeutic applications of secretome components.

Abstract

Cervical cancer ranks among the top causes of cancer-related deaths in women globally. Early detection is vital for improving patient survival rates. The multiclass classification of cervical cell images presents challenges primarily due to the notable variations in cell sizes across different classes. Conventional AI methods for diagnosing cervical cancer often rely on image-resizing techniques that overlook crucial features like relative cell dimensions, which impairs the models' ability to distinguish between classes effectively. This paper presents a novel AI-driven approach that employs constant padding to maintain the natural size differences among cells. Our method utilizes deep learning for both feature extraction and multiclass classification. We assessed the method using the publicly accessible SIPaKMeD dataset. Experimental findings indicate that our approach surpasses traditional image-resizing methods, especially in classes that are more challenging to predict. This strategy highlights AI's potential to improve cervical cancer diagnosis, offering a more precise and dependable tool for early detection. A reliable and precise AI model for diagnosing cervical cancer is crucial for promoting widespread screening and ensuring timely and effective treatment, which can ultimately lower mortality rates. By aiding early and accurate diagnosis, this approach aligns with global health efforts to alleviate the burden of cancer and other diseases, especially in areas with limited access to advanced healthcare services facilities.
