| Country | : | Egypt |
| Authors | : | Khalifa AS || Khodeer S || Eed EM || Alwakeel HR |
Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for 85% to 90% of primary liver cancers. The majority of these cases are related to chronic viral hepatitis. Several VDR gene single nucleotide restriction(SNP) have been described in association with neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. The aim of this study was to explore the association between VDR polymorphism and development of HCC and liver cirrhosis in chronically HBV infected patients....
Key words: VDR polymorphism, HCC, HBV

| Title | : | Acceptance of novel foods for physical activity practitioners formulated with Spirulina |
| Country | : | Brazil |
| Authors | : | Lisiane Fernandes de Carvalho || Juliana Botelho Moreira || Mariana Souza de Oliveira || Jorge Alberto Vieira Costa |
Abstract: The diet of athletes require higher caloric intake, which should be provided by special food intake. The biomasses of microalgae are innovative alternative natural ingredients that can be used in the development of foods. Spirulina is a source of protein and amino acids, antioxidants, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the acceptance and purchase intention to foods developed with Spirulina intended for athletes.............
Key words:Athletes, microalgal biomass, purchase intention, supplement food.

| Title | : | Estimation of Copper, Malondialdehyde and Ceruloplasmin Levels in Senile and Diabetic Cataract |

Abstract: Cataract is one of the major causes of impaired vision and blindness worldwide and is most simply defined as opacity of the crystalline lens. Any alteration in the optical homogeneity of the lens or decrease in its transparency is known as a cataract [1]. Senile cataract, a major cause of blindness worldwide, is an-age associated condition[2,3]. The term senile refers to the fact that no specific ophthalmic or metabolic diseases are known to precede or to be involved in this type of cataract [4]. Based on the etiology cataract can be divided into senile or age-related cataract, congenital cataract and cataract associated with systemic disease [
