Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12, VB12) and Folic acid (Vitamin B9, VB9) deficiency leads to anemia in women. We have recently shown low VB12 and VB9 levels in the serum of megaloblastic anemia (MBA) patients. Further, our study demonstrated elevated homocysteine and p53, respectively, in the serum and bone marrow aspirates of MBA patients but not in non-MBA subjects. However, it is unknown whether any gender specific variation in VB12 and VB9 level exists in MBA and non-MBA patients? In addition, it is unclear whether low VB12 and VB9 has a role in the regulation of p53 expression in MBA patients? And whether elevated p53 is functionally active? If so, does bone marrow aspirates of MBA patients show elevated apoptosis. Hence, we have analyzed VB12 and VB9 levels in MBA patients and compared with non-MBA subjects. Next, methylation status of p53 promoter was determined and correlated with p53 expression. Furthermore, the level of apoptosis in bone marrow aspirate paraffin blocks was estimated using TUNEL staining. In conclusion, low VB12 and VB9 in male and female patients directly correlate with p53 promoter unmethylation status, but, inversely correlate with p53 protein expression and its activity, only in MBA cases but not in non-MBA controls.

Although a few of fluorescent probes based on carbon dots (CDs) for vitamin B (VB) determination have been emerged, none of them can realize the detection of different kinds of VB. In this paper, nitrogen, chlorine co-doped dual-emission CDs (N, Cl-CDs) with emissions at 404 nm and 595 nm have been easily synthesized. VB, VB and VB can all induce obvious fluorescence turn-off response toward the N, Cl-CDs.

A facile and environmentally mindful approach for the synthesis of MoSe QDs was developed via the hydrothermal method from bulk MoSe. In this, the exfoliation of MoSe was enhanced with the aid of an intercalation agent (KOH), which could reduce the exfoliation time and increase the exfoliation efficiency to form MoSe QDs. We found that MoSe QDs display blue emission that is suitable for different applications.

Introduction: Existing evidence suggests an association between certain vitamins and metabolic syndrome (MetS), but few epidemiological studies have focused on the effects of multivitamin co-exposure on MetS. This study aims to investigate the associations of the individual or multiple water-soluble vitamins (i.e.

Vitamins were closely associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) development, but no study had explored the association of serum multivitamin levels with NAFLD risk. We assessed the association between serum levels of both single-vitamin and multivitamins (VA, VB6, VB9, VB12, VC, VD, and VE) and the risk of NAFLD, using the database of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (cycles 2003-2004 and 2005-2006). We employed multivariable logistic regression and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression models to explore the association of serum multivitamin levels with NAFLD.
