Probiotic therapies are going to be an effective alternative therapeutic strategy in the treatment and management of diabetes. The mechanism behind the essential effects of probiotic therapies in diabetic patients was not fully understood. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of probiotic soy milk containing Lactobacillus planetarum A7 on inflammation, lipid profile, fasting blood glucose, and serum adiponectin among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Forty patients with type 2 diabetes, at the age of 35-68 years old, were assigned to two groups in this randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial. The patients in the intervention group consumed 200 ml/day of probiotic soy milk containing L. planetarum A7 and those in control group consumed 200 ml/ day of pure soy milk for 8 weeks. Serum TNF-alpha, C reactive protein, adiponectin, lipid profile, and fasting blood glucose were determined before and after intervention. In intervention group, serum adiponectin in pre-and post-treatment did not show any significant changes (2.52 +/- 0.74 vs 2.84 +/- 0.61, P = 0.658), as well as changes in serum TNF-alpha and C reactive protein (172.44 +/- 5.7 vs 172.83 +/- 7.6, P = 0.278, 4.2 +/- 1.4 vs 4.5 +/- 1.9, P = 0.765, respectively). Low-density cholesterol and high-density cholesterol changed significantly (P = 0.023, P = 0.017, respectively), but fasting blood glucose did not show any significant changes. The results of this study showed that consumption of probiotic soy milk and soy milk has no effect on serum adiponectin and inflammation, but it can change lipid profile among type 2 diabetic patients.

A Comprehensive Review on Microstrip Couplers: Structure, Design Method, and Performance

Abbas Rezaei, Salah I. Yahya, Leila Nouri

Summary: In this paper, various types of microstrip couplers are studied, focusing on their structure, performance, and design methods. These planar 4-ports passive devices transmit signals through different channels, and their miniaturization and performance improvement have always been the competition among designers. Some previously reported couplers have the advantage of proposing a novel structure. A high-performance coupler should possess high isolation and low losses in both channels, as well as a low common port return loss in the pass band. Couplers with balanced amplitude and phase are more popular, and mathematical analysis methods include even/odd mode analysis, information extraction from the ABCD matrix, and analysis of the equivalent LC circuit of a simple resonator. Couplers are classified based on the phase shift value, with some having filtering and harmonic elimination features that surpass others. Setting the operating frequency according to the application type makes the coupler particularly valuable.
