Field-Grown and In Vitro Propagated Round-Leaved Sundew (Drosera rotundifolia L.) Show Differences in Metabolic Profiles and Biological Activities

2021

Drosera rotundifolia L. is a carnivorous plant used in traditional medicine for its therapeutic properties. Because of its small size, its collection in nature is laborious and different cultivation methods have been studied to ensure availability. However, only a few studies exist where the lab-grown sundew tissue and field-grown sundew would have been compared in their functionality or metabolic profiles. In this study, the antioxidant and antiviral activities of lab-grown and field-grown sundew extracts and their metabolic profiles are examined. The effect of drying methods on the chromatographic profile of the extracts is also shown. Antioxidant activity was significantly higher (5–6 ti…

Salix spp. Bark Hot Water Extracts Show Antiviral, Antibacterial, and Antioxidant Activities—The Bioactive Properties of 16 Clones

2021

Funding Information: This work was supported by Business Finland corona-co-creation funding for the project Antiviral Fibers?pilot with extracts from Finnish forests (grant: 40699/31/2020). This study was also funded by the Natural Resources Institute Finland?s strategic research funding to the projects ?More, faster, higher quality: potential of short-rotation aspen and willow biomass for novel products in bioeconomy? (AspenWill) and ?Added value potential of new and under-utilized fibre sources in Finnish value networks of green bioeconomy: prefeasibility, prototyping, and market acceptance? (VALUEPOT). In addition, Academy of Finland has supported this study via the project ?Antivirals f…

Effects of a glyphosate-based herbicide on survival and oxidative status of a non-target herbivore, the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlin…

2019

Glyphosate is the globally most used herbicide against a wide range of weeds. Glyphosate has been considered safe to animals as it mainly targets physiological pathways in plants. However, recent toxicological studies have revealed that glyphosate can cause various toxic effects also on animals. In this study, we investigated the direct toxic effects of a glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH, Roundup® Bio) on 1) survival and 2) oxidative status of a non-target herbivore by using Colorado potato beetles (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), originating from Poland and USA, as model species. Larvae were randomly divided into three groups: 1) high concentration (100% Roundup Bio, 360 g/l), 2) low concentrat…

Enzyme-assisted extraction of anthocyanins and other phenolic compounds from blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum L.) press cake: From processing to bioactivit…

2022

The effects of commercial enzymes (pectinases, cellulases, beta-1-3-glucanases, and pectin lyases) on the recovery of anthocyanins and polyphenols from blackcurrant press cake were studied considering two solid:solvent ratios (1:10 and 1:4 w/v). β-glucanase enabled the recovery of the highest total phenolic content – 1142 mg/100 g, and the extraction of anthocyanins was similar using all enzymes (∼400 mg/100 g). The use of cellulases and pectinases enhanced the extraction of antioxidants (DPPH − 1080 mg/100 g; CUPRAC – 3697 mg/100 g). The freeze-dried extracts presented antioxidant potential (CUPRAC, DPPH), which was associated with their biological effects in different systems: antiviral a…

”Paljo luvataan, mutta ei sitten kuitenkaan” : muistisairasta läheistään hoitavien kokemuksia omaishoidon tuen hakemisen ongelmista

2022

Omaishoidon tuki on keino vastata kasvaviin palvelutarpeisiin. Kaikki muistisairaiden omaishoitajat eivät kuitenkaan hae tai saa omaishoidon tukea. Artikkelissa kuvataan omaishoitajien kokemuksia omaishoidon tuen hakemisesta. Tulosten mukaan omaishoidon tuen hakeminen voi olla monimutkainen prosessi, jota edistävät ja hidastavat monet tekijät. Puutteellisen palvelutarpeen arvioinnin vuoksi omaishoitajat voivat jäädä jopa kokonaan tuen ulkopuolelle. peerReviewed

Asiakasturvallisuus vanhuspalveluissa

2022

Artikkelissa analysoidaan asiakasturvallisuuden määrittymistä vanhuspalveluita koskevissa politiikka-asiakirjoissa. Asiakasturvallisuutta lähestytään kysymyksenä yhteiskunnallisesta sekä asiakassuhteissa toteutuvasta luottamuksesta. Artikkelissa kysytään, miten asiakasturvallisuus määrittyy asiakirjoissa ja mitä se tarkoittaa luottamuksen näkökulmasta. Tulosten mukaan asiakasturvallisuuden sisältö ja merkitys suhteessa potilasturvallisuuden käsitteeseen on vanhuspalveluissa vasta jäsentymässä. Asiakasturvallisuus määrittyy asiakirjoissa etenkin palveluiden tarjoajien vastuuna turvallisuuskulttuurin kehittämisestä sekä pyrkimyksenä ikääntyneiden asumisen ja asuinympäristön kehittämiseen tekn…
