[Vitamin sufficiency to preschool and young school age children from a group at risk for emergence of bone mineralization disorders].

Vitamin status of 36 children 5-8 years old (Moscow) from the decreased bone mineral density risk group has been evaluated. Only 6-14 per cent of children had deep vitamin deficit. Vitamin B1 and B2 insufficiency has been observed 1.6 fold rarely among children additionally receiving vitamin supplement. The relation between urinary calcium and vitamins B1, B2 and B6 excretion has been shown. No difference was found in calcium excretion rate irrespective of additional vitamin intake. Although no correlation between urinary calcium/creatinine excretion and urinary vitamins C, B1, B2 and B6 excretion has been found children with increased calcium/creatinine index are insufficiently supplied with four vitamins more often. The data obtained could not be regarded as negation of the vitamin sufficiency importance for calcium metabolism and osteogenesis disturbance prevention.

[The use of food enriched with iron and vitamins for iron deficiency correction].

The data on the usage of fortified with iron food products for iron deficiency correction are summarized. Efficiency of enrichment with different iron forms (heme, organic and inorganic salts etc.) combining with one or several vitamins and possible undesirable effect of iron excess intake are discussed.

[Vitamin composition of wild onion species].

The data on vitamins C, B1, B2, A, E and carotenoids content in fresh-cut leaves of some species of genus of Allium cultivated in the Main Botanical garden (Moscow) are submitted. Their significance as these nutrients source is evaluated. Onion leaves usually used as flavor-odour additive (10-20 g) give only 1-4 per cent of vitamin B group and E daily recommended allowance. At the same time this quantity supply with vitamin C (20 per cent of vitamin C daily recommended allowance) and carotenoids (20-50 per cent).

Carotenoids↗

[Effects of biologically active supplements on the antioxidant and vitamin status of patients with hypertension and ischemic heart disease].

Biologically active additives in integrated therapy of patients with cardiovascular diseases against a background body overweight. The influence of antiaterosclerotic diet with including some biologically active additives, which contain vitamins C, E, B2, B6, beta-carotene, Zn, Mg, Na, K, Ca, I was studied in 91 patients with ischemic heart disease, hypertension disease. The usage of biologically active additives during 4 weeks has promoted positive changes of clinical symptoms of diseases against a background of lowering of serum cholesterol, triglycerides and increasing of vitamins A, E, C, B2, B6.

[Use of multivitamin drink and oil solution of beta carotene in the treatment of children with chronic gastroduodenitis].

Inclusion of vitamin-containing soft drink and oil solution of beta-carotene in the diet of the 4-14 years old children suffering from gastrointestinal diseases lead to vitamin and antioxidant status improvement with simultaneous positive effects on their clinical condition. Polyhypovitaminosis frequency had decreased. Thus, there is every reason to fortify diets of the patients suffering from gastrointestinal diseases with vitamins-antioxidants.

[Substantiation of the need of fortification with vitamins of the diet of children with gastrointestinal diseases].

Surveys of 28 children have shown that 64 per cent of the children suffering from ulcerous disease of the stomach and the duodemun or chronic duodenitis have a combined deficiency of vitamin E, vitamins of the B group and beta-carotene. Diet No. 1 and No. 5 could not provide daily needs for vitamins. The patients were found to have a lower antioxidant activity of the blood serum, whereas the contents of hydroperoxides, double bonds and malonic dialdehydes were higher than in healthy children. The POL index in children with high beta-carotene deficiency was significantly higher than that in ailing children supplied with this carotenoid. Correlation analysis has revealed a reverse relationship between concentration of vitamin E and beta-carotene in blood serum and POL products, i.e. the better a child is supplied with these vitamins, the lower is the level of POL products. When the drink with the whole set of vitamins and an oil solution of beta-carotene was included in the diet of the children, it was found that hypovitaminosis frequency lowered with positive effects on their clinical condition and improved POL indexes. So there is a reason to fortify diets of children suffering from gastrointestinal disorders with vitamins-antioxidants.

[Use of the microalgae Spirulina platensis and its selenium-containing form in nutrition of patients with nonspecific ulcerative colitis].

The vitamin security and selenium status were measured in the patients with unspecific ulcerative colitis. There were used food microalgae Spirulina platensis and it's preparation enriched with selenium as auxiliary tools of dietetic treatment for these patients. It's shown that there is a combined deficiency of beta-carotene and selenium and occasionally some other micronutrients in a significant part of the patients. The doses used of said food supplements were not enough sufficient for a dietary correction of deficiency of micronutrients with antioxidative properties.

[Effects of biologically active food additives with different contents of vitamins on the vitamin status in humans].

The comparative study of influence of two biologically active food additives with the different contents of vitamins is carried out: a drink "Zolotoi Shar", the dose of vitamins in which makes 50-90% from recommended daily consumption, and "Vitabalance 2000", the contents of vitamins in which at 2-17 of time exceeds need of organism. The use of both additives within 3 weeks resulted in increase of levels of vitamins C, A, E, B2, B6 and carotenoids in blood serum. However if in case of consumption of a drink an authentic level was reached only for vitamin C and beta-carotene, in a case "Vitabalance 2000" for all investigated vitamins except vitamin A. Thus, if the consumption of a drink has lowered frequency of deficiency of 3-4 vitamins, but has not allowed to liquidate it completely, in case of "Vitabalance 2000" consumption the simultaneous deficiency 3-4 vitamins. The received data allow to believe the biologically active food additives containing vitamins in amounts exceeding recommended consumption, are convenient for fast liquidation of hypovitaminoses, and the preparations containing vitamins in doses making 30-50% from need of organism, are acceptable for daily filling of insufficient consumption of vitamins with a usual diet for a long time.

[Vitamin supply in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus].

Concentrations of vitamins C, A, E, B2, B6 and carotinoids were measured in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Most of the examinees had deficiency of both group B vitamins and carotinoids, some of the patients were vitamin C deficient. Vitamin-enriched drink Zolotoi shar (Golden Ball) and beta-carotene in oil were included in regular diet of NIDDM and taken for 4 weeks. As a result, supply of the vitamins C and beta-carotene has improved significantly. There was a positive trend in the levels of vitamin B6, while vitamins A and E reached optimal values.

[Dependence of vitamin composition of breast milk on multivitamin intake during pregnancy and lactation].

Investigation of vitamin status of 14 women 20-38 years of age has been carried out. All the women were adequately supplied with vitamins A and E. B group vitamins insufficiency among women receiving no vitamins during lactation takes place more often than among those who receive vitamins. Human breast milk vitamins content and percentage of women secreting enough milk quantity are higher in the group receiving vitamins. Thus, regular vitamins administration during pregnancy and lactation is necessary for milk vitamin content improvement.

[Seasonal variations of vitamin sufficiency in pregnant women (Mzensk City)].

The investigation of sufficiency of vitamin C, A, E, B2, B6, carotenoids and iron dietary intake has been carried out in 61 pregnant women in spring and early autumn 1998. There were no women adequately supplied with all vitamins irrespective of season and residence. Most of them (70-80 per cent) had combined deficiency of 3-5 vitamins in spring. About 50 per cent of women had combined insufficiency of vitamins and iron. Intake of vitamins improved in autumn especially due to vitamins C, A, E and carotenoids. The frequency of 3-5 vitamins deficit decreased while occurrence of combined deficiency of vitamin B6 and carotenoids still often took place. Thus, normalization of vitamin status of pregnant women is necessary all year round.

[Comparative study of special products "Tetraphen" and "Phenyl-free" in diet therapy of children with phenylketonuria].

Basing on the comparative clinical and biochemical evaluation of the usage of the specialized product "Tetraphen" (Russia) and early utilized product "Phenyl-Free" (USA) it has been shown that "Tetraphen" does not yield to "Phenyl-Free", while some of its parameters (energy value, carbohydrate content) even in the higher degree correspond to the physiologic requirements of this aged children suffering from phenylketonuria. Intake of this product in smaller doses completely covers their requirements for the basic food ingredients. High frequency of carotenoids insufficiency in children received both "Tetraphen" and "Phenyl-Free" demonstrate necessity of the diet correction by means of beta-carotene additional supplementation.

[Study of the relationship between indicators of provision with vitamins B2 and B6 of children 7-10 years of age with mental retardation].

Study of the vitamin status of 34 children of both sexes aged 7 to 10, pupils of a school for children with mental retardation in the city of Krasnoyarsk revealed that the values of riboflavin and 4-pyridoxic acid excretion per g of creatinine, which are in good correlation with the content of the respective vitamins in the blood, reflect the saturation with these nutrients and may be used for assessing vitamin supply. Excretion of at least 200 mg of riboflavin per g of creatinine corresponds to normal provision of a child with this vitamin.
