AI Article Synopsis
- * The study aimed to see how many children with CSU are sensitive to food additives by testing 120 kids with CSU and 61 healthy kids.
- * The results showed that 14.1% of children with CSU were sensitive to food additives, while none of the healthy kids were, suggesting that food additives could play a role in this skin condition.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is characterized by the onset of symptoms which are not induced by specific triggers, but are rather spontaneous. A considerable number of patients report that foods or food additives might be responsible for their chronic urticaria.
Aim: To determine the prevalence of sensitization to food additives in children with CSU using atopy patch tests (ATP).
Material And Methods: Atopy patch tests for 23 different food additives were applied to 120 children with CSU and 61 healthy controls.
Results: Seventeen (14.1%) children with CSU were sensitized with food additives. None of the control group had positive APT. and were the food additives detected with the highest sensitization rates (5.8% ( = 7) and 6.7% ( = 8), respectively).
Conclusions: There can be an association between food additives and CSU. APT tests may be a helpful tool in the assessment and management of CSU so that easier to follow diets and effective treatments can be offered to families.

Measurement of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in human red blood cells plays a critical role in the diagnosis and treatment of diabetes mellitus. However, recent studies have suggested large variation in the relationship between average glucose levels and HbA1c, creating the need to understand glucose variability at the cellular level. Here, we devised a fluorescence-based method to quantitatively observe GLUT1-mediated intracellular glucose analog tracer uptake in individual RBCs utilizing microfluidics and confocal microscopy.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently published a guideline that recommends against the use of nonsugar sweeteners. Food labels are a key source of information for consumers, to enable them to make informed decisions regarding the consumption of food additives. However, discrepancies in the concepts and categorizations of sweeteners in labeling recommendations and regulations may influence the results of studies on the prevalence of sweeteners in foods.

L-valine holds wide-ranging applications in medicine, food, feed, and various industrial sectors. Escherichia coli, a pivotal strain in industrial L-valine production, features a concise fermentation period and a well-defined genetic background. This study focuses on mismatch repair genes (mutH, mutL, mutS, and recG) and genes associated with mutagenesis (dinB, rpoS, rpoD, and recA), employing a high-glucose adaptive culture in conjunction with metabolic modifications to systematically screen for superior phenotypes.

At present, there is no clear consensus on the impact of carbohydrate feeds on bee colony health, and comprehensive research and evaluation in this context is lacking. To comprehensively and objectively examine the health status of honeybees after consuming those carbohydrates from multiple perspectives, experimental techniques, including high-throughput sequencing of the transcriptome, proboscis extension reflex (PER), and measuring bee growth parameters were employed. This study showed that compared with honey, feeding high fructose syrup (HFS) resulted in a decrease in the survival rate and body weight of bees, while sucrose decreased the learning and memory ability of bees.
