Abstract
This study aimed to investigate melanosis, quality attributes, and bacterial growth of freeze-chilled Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) during 6 days of chilled storage, as well as the preservative effects of tea polyphenol on shrimp. The results showed that freeze-chilled storage retarded the growth of bacteria and the accumulation of putrescine in shrimp. The growth of spoilage bacteria Photobacterium and Shewanella were inhibited. However, freeze-chilled storage aggravated melanosis and lipid oxidation. The total volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) slightly accumulated in the thawed shrimp. The incorporation of tea polyphenol preserved freeze-chilled shrimp. Melanosis and lipid oxidation of shrimp were alleviated. The accumulation of biogenic amines, TVB-N, hypoxanthine riboside, and hypoxanthine were retarded. Meanwhile, the growth of spoilage bacteria Pseudoalteromonas, Photobacterium, Psychrobacter, and Carnobacterium were inhibited. Based on sensory analysis, the shelf-life of chilled, freeze-chilled, and freeze-chilled tea polyphenol shrimp were 4 days, 3 days, and 6 days, respectively.

Abstract
Effects of ultrasound-assisted chitooligosaccharides (COS-UA) coating on the quality attributes and microbial composition of refrigerated grass carp fillets were evaluated. The results showed that COS and COS-UA coatings retarded quality deterioration of fillets during storage. Compared to COS coatings, COS-UA treated samples had lower contents of BAs, simultaneously their levels of total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N), K value and total viable counts (TVC) were further decreased by 13.6%, 4.2% and 7.8% on day 12, respectively. High-throughput sequencing showed that Aeromonas and Shewanella increased rapidly in control samples and became the main microbiota at day 12. By contrast, both coatings changed the microbial composition and reduced the proportion of spoilage organisms. Based on multiple evaluations, COS-UA extended shelf life of fillets by another 2 days when compared to COS. Therefore, ultrasonic treatment could be considered as an effective supplementary to improve the preservation effect of COS-based coatings for fresh preprocessed fish.

Abstract
To date, there is insufficient knowledge regarding the relationship of the allegenicity and the three-dimensional structure of Gly m 5 (β-conglycinin), a major allergen in soybean. In the present study, allergen Gly m 5 was demonstrated to generate three major digestion-resistant fragments when it was subjected to in vitro digestion. The largest fragment corresponded to the main body of the monomer and two smaller fragments corresponded to the main bodies of two modules of the monomer. Two major protease cleavage sites were located in the regions near to the connection between two modules. Coincidentally, the major digestion-resistant fragments were demonstrated to contain intact IgE epitopes and be capable to induce basophil histamine release in Gly m 5 sensitised piglets, indicating that the three-dimensional structure of Gly m 5 afforded the molecule some protection from complete degradation into small peptides and amino acids, and contributed to its overall allergenicity.

Abstract
Apigenin, was reported to have vasodilatory effects by inhibiting Ca2+ influx through both voltage- and receptor-operated calcium channels, but not by inhibiting cAMP- or cGMP-phosphodiesterases (PDEs) in rat thoracic aorta. However, apigenin was reported to inhibit PDE1, 2 and 3 in guinea-pig lung and heart. The aim of this study was to clarify that guinea-pig tracheal relaxation by apigenin whether via PDE inhibition. We isometrically recorded the tension of isolated guinea-pig tracheal segments on a polygraph. Antagonistic effects of apigenin against cumulative contractile agents or Ca2+ induced contractions of the trachealis in normal or isotonic high-K+, Ca2+-free Krebs solution, respectively. Effects of apigenin (15 and 30μM) on the cumulative forskolin- and nitroprusside-induced relaxations to histamine (30μM)-induced precontraction were performed. The inhibitory effects of 30-300μM apigenin and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX, positive control) on the cAMP- and cGMP-PDEs were determined. Apigenin concentration-dependently but non-competitively inhibited cumulative histamine-, carbachol- or Ca2+-induced contractions in normal or in the depolarized (K+, 60mM) trachealis, suggesting that Ca2+ influx through voltage-dependent calcium channels is inhibited. However, apigenin (15-30μM) parallel leftward shifted the concentration-response curves of forskolin and nitroprusside, and significantly increased the pD2 values of these two cyclase activators. Both apigenin and IBMX, a reference drug, concentration (10-300μM)-dependently and significantly, but non-selectively inhibited the activities of cAMP- and cGMP-PDEs in the trachealis. In conclusion, the relaxant effect of apigenin may be due to inhibition of both enzyme activities and reduction of intracellular Ca2+ by inhibiting Ca2+ influx in the trachealis.

Abstract
Safe utilization of fish by-products is an important task due to increasing fish consumption. It can provide new valuable food/feed and will increase the economical profit and sustainability of the fishery industry. NMR spectroscopy is a reliable tool able to monitor qualitative and quantitative changes in by-products. In this work the trichloroacetic acid extracts of salmon backbones, heads and viscera stored at industrially relevant temperatures (4 and 10°C) were studied using NMR. Twenty-five metabolites were detected and the possibility of salmon by-products utilization as a source of anserine, phosphocreatine and taurine was discussed. Statistical data elaboration allowed determining the main processes occurring during by-products storage: formation of trimethylamine and biogenic amines, proteolysis and different types of fermentations. By-products freshness was evaluated using a multi-parameter approach: the trimethylamine and biogenic amines concentration changes were compared with Ki and H-values and safe temperatures and times for storage of salmon by-products were proposed.

Abstract
The present study, demonstrates that, desloratadine citrate disodium injection (DLC) possesses antihistaminic, anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory properties and elucidates its molecular mechanisms of anti-inflammatory properties. In vitro antihistamine activity of DLC was determined in guinea pig isolated tissues. In vivo antihistamine effects were evaluated after following intravenous administration of DLC in mice with histamine- induced paw edema and in rats with increased capillary permeability. Anti-allergic effects were assessed through passive cutaneous anaphylactic (PCA) reactions in sensitized rodents and ovalbumin-induced allergic rhinitis in rats. Anti-inflammatory properties and molecular mechanisms of DLC were determined on histamine- and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced EA.hy926 endothelial cells. DLC exhibited significant and reversible inhibition of histamine-induced contractions of isolated guinea pig ileum with pA2 value of 8.88. Histamine-induced paw edema and increased capillary permeability were notably inhibited by DLC intravenous administration. In the model of PCA reactions, DLC showed significant activity in a dose-dependent nd potently inhibited both the early-phase and late-phase allergic reaction of ovalbumin-induced allergic rhinitis in rats. DLC alleviated the rhinitis symptoms and inhibited inflammatory cell infiltration, IL-4 and protein leakage in nasal lavage fluid (NLF). In EA.hy926 cells, DLC significantly inhibited the histamine- and LPS- induced IL-6 and IL-8 production and P-selectin and intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression. Moreover, DLC reduced translocation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) to the nucleus in activated EA.hy926 cells. These results provide evidence that DLC possesses potent antihistaminic, anti-allergic and, anti-inflammatory properties via suppressing IL-6, IL-8, P-selectin and ICAM-1 expression.

Abstract
Beyond lipid lowering, statins are supposed to exert pleiotropic effects positively influencing the progression of atherosclerotic lesions. The development of such lesions is associated with increased release of angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), an endothelial cell-specific protein growth factor stored in Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs). The aim of our study was to examine whether statin pretreatment influences the release of Ang-2 from endothelial cells. Stimulation of HUVECs and HMVECs with PMA, thrombin or histamine resulted in significant release of Ang-2, as evidenced by ELISA. Pretreatment with simvastatin and mevastatin suppressed this release to basal level, while pravastatin had no effect. Simvastatin itself increased nitric oxide (NO, EC number 1.14.13.39) synthesis, measured by Griess reaction. Combining the statin pretreatment with the eNOS inhibitor L-NNA as well as bypassing the HMG-CoA reductase (EC number: 1.1.1.34) by adding mevalonic acid or geranyl pyrophosphate restored the exocytotic effect of PMA. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed that depletion of WPBs upon PMA stimulation ceased after pretreatment with simvastatin. This study demonstrates a potent suppressive effect of statins on the release of Ang-2 from endothelial cells. Regarding its harmful effects in the development of atherosclerotic lesions, our data provide further insight into the mechanisms of the anti-atherogenic potential of statins.
