  Bioactive compounds with possible inhibitory activity of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme-II; a gate to manage and prevent COVID-19

summary:
  The averting impact of Naringin on pro-inhibitory cytokines (increased in COVID-19 infection) including Cyclooxygenase-II, Interleukin-6 and -1β, and Nitric oxide synthase is considerable (5) . Accordingly, agents with potential inhibition or regulation of ACE-II receptors might be effective in COVID-19 management (3) .

summary:
  A sign of natural resistance to SARS-CoV-2? Dan Lipsker 1,2 , MD, PhD Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, epidemics of chilblains or chilblain-like acral lesions have been reported in the social media, the general press and the medical literature in Italy, Spain, the UK and France (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) . The great majority of the cases we observed and those reported in the literature share the following common features: -lesions were of sudden onset in young patients without a previous history of chilblains in most of them and they were not necessarily triggered by exposure to cold; -those young patients were otherwise asymptomatic or pauci-symptomatic and only a few had mild clinical signs compatible with COVID-19; -none of them had pneumonia or severe manifestations of COVID-19; -clinical signs of COVID-19 or contact with infected persons occurred a few days to one month before chilblains; -SARS-CoV-2 infection could be demonstrated by nasopharyngeal swab or by serology only in very limited number of patients.

  This theory claims that a double-peaked pattern of new cases in a new viral epidemic is intrinsically determined by the pattern of pathogen interaction with the host. The notion of epidemics that normally have two peaks of new cases over time is widely accepted(3); although epidemiologists have not characterized this pattern as an established model.

  Though it is intuitively tempting, on the basis of physiopathological common knowledge, to predict a greater risk of contracting the SARS-CoV-2 infection in tobacco smokers, an analysis of studies from various countries shows that hospitalized COVID-19 patients have a lower, and apparently inversely proportional, rate of current tobacco smoking, in comparison with the respective general population, although once the disease has developed meta-analyses suggest that smoking is associated with a worse prognosis Apart from nicotine or other chemicals contained in tobacco smoke, we propose that a single-stranded RNA virus that infects tobacco leaves, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), might be implicated in this effect.

summary:
  (39) COVID-19 replication and SIRT1 SIRT1 not only controls and modifies the inflammatory response, but along with the Sirtuin family (SIRT1-7) is also a primary defence against DNA and RNA viral pathogens. COVID-19: NAD + deficiency may predispose the aged, obese and type2 diabetics to mortality through its effect on SIRT1 activity We hypothesize that reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD + ) levels with consequent deficient activity of the NAD + dependent molecule SIRT1, which modulates cytokine production, may be the factor that predisposes the aged, obese, type 2 diabetics and other vulnerable groups to an increased mortality.

  79 Supplemental glucosamine may likewise up-regulate the type 1 interferon responses to viruses, while exerting anti-inflammatory effects that render it protective in rodent models of sepsis and lung inflammation induced by LPS or cigarette smoke. Although PTX is known to have broad anti-inflammatory activity, it is employed primarily in the treatment of intermittent claudication; by lessening neutrophil activation, PTX renders these cells more distensible, so that they can more readily pass through narrow capillaries in affected legs.

summary:
  Eleven T and B lymphocyte tests were used to analyze the changes of specific immune cells. Immune cells are able to clear the pathogen without causing a severe inflammatory response, resulting in covert infection or mild to moderate symptoms with short course, which is called immune fitness (41) .The severity of the infection is not necessarily related to the load of infection, but rather to host fitness, the balance between killing the pathogen and tolerance.

  The influence of ABO blood groups on COVID-19 susceptibility and severity: a molecular hypothesis based on carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions

summary:
  Supported by an extensive bibliographic review highlighting (i) the mode of binding of SARS-CoV-2 to cell receptors, as well as (ii) the biochemical aspects of ABO blood group system and its association to infection and some circulatory conditions, we hypothesize that the influence of blood type on COVID-19 severity relies on the differential clustering of glycoproteins receptors to SARS-CoV-2 on host cell surface, induced by ABH antigens through carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions with the glycan portions of these receptors, which could modulate virus binding to the target cell. In summary, this work proposes that the molecular mechanism underlying the influence of ABO blood groups on COVID-19 susceptibility and severity relies on carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions between ABH antigens and sialoside glycans present on host cell receptors.

Projection models should be seen in a counterfactual way, that is, their projections cannot be tested because they will never happen.

Thus, the first experiments that are needed to test this hypothesis is to identify the regions of SARS CoV-2 spike protein that are responsible for activating cell signaling, perhaps by using cultured human cells.

  However, we have highlighted that the use of antibiotics in the absence of bacterial infection might result in the release of pro-inflammatory cytokine and therefore, an inflammatory storm. During this endotoxemia, the activation of toll-like receptors (TLRs) cause the release/expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)), chemokines, prostaglandins, and proteases which are involved in preterm labor.

summary:
  Therefore individuals with greater expression of tissue ACE, and consequently, greater production of Ang II, will present a decrease in tissue ACE2 and an increase in soluble ACE2 (systemic), due to greater activation of ADAM17 and ACE2 cleavage. Thus, due to higher levels of circulating ACE2, men may present a lower level of tissue ACE2, becoming more vulnerable to local SARS imbalance after SARS-Cov-2 infection.

  Dr. Chandrasekaran’s reply to “Exercising and face masks: an important hypothesis buried in a selective review”

summary:
  The systematic review by Bahl et al. 2020 investigated droplet transmission during social distancing, but they have not investigated the effect of face masks We commend the authors for proposing a study that could objectively measure the effects of face masks on strenuous exercise.

summary:
  These negative effects can be associated too with an impaired expression of molecules involved in the inflammatory response and with both glucose metabolism and NO synthesis, as has been reported in the subjects with FH-DM2; paralleling the recent findings in COVID-19 patients, in whom a total of 70 inflammation-related genes that influence cell metabolism has been reported [11, 29, 30, 31, 35] . Currently, it is known that endothelial cell dysfunction is a critical event in the infection by this virus.
