Synthesis, Characterization and Optimization of PCL ˗ based Nanocapsules for Delivery of Anticancer Chemotheraputic Drug

Nanocapsules based drug delivery system has provided an efficient tools in cancer treatment in recent times. The toxicity of anticancer drugs can be decreased through nano-encapsulation using polymeric nanocapsules. This study aimed to synthesis, optimization and characterization of doxorubicin (Dox) loaded biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) nanocapsules. Dox loaded PCL nanocapsules were prepared by double emulsion method using dichloromethane as the organic solvent, and polyvinyl alcohol as the external aqueous phase. Formulation parameter such as the effect of weight ratio of drug to polymer was optimized for the synthesis of Dox-PCL nanocapsules. Different weight ratio of Dox loaded PCL nanocapsules (1:20), (1:50) and (3:10) were prepared. Dox-PCL nanocapsules of weight ratio of 3:10 mg had higher DL of 16.88 % than other cases and its average size determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS) was 212 nm. The TEM image revealed that the prepared nanocapsules were spherical in shape in all cases. Also, ZPs were greater in case of Dox-PCL with ratio of 3:10 mg than other cases, which suggests good stability these synthesized nanocapsules. Finally, these results indicate that the properties such as DL %, morphology, size and surface charge of the nanocapsules colloidal suspension were better with decreasing the amount of PCL and increasing the amount of Dox.
Non-operative Treatment Compared to Surgery in the Management of Uncomplicated Acute Appendicitis

Purposes: We are aiming to investigate the safety and efficacy of the non-operative treatment (NOT) for the management of acute appendicitis (AA), to avoid the risk of unnecessary surgery. Methods: The study includes 400 consecutive patients who were diagnosed as AA. The study involved patients with symptoms <72 h and the first attack of AA. Patients divided into two equal groups using the “alternation” method. In the first group, patients were hospitalized and received medical treatment, while in the second group, appendectomy was done. After discharge, follow-up was done in all cases for 2 years. Data collected and statistically analyzed. Results: The NOT was effectively completed in 185 patients, while 15 patients (7.5%), did not respond to the NOT regimen as they had continued or deteriorating symptoms and underwent an appendectomy. During the follow-up period, 14 patients (7%) of the NOT group were readmitted and treated successfully, while 17 patients (8.5%) underwent an appendectomy. The success rate of the NOT was 84% with safety of 100%. Among patients of the surgery group, 160/200 showed a pathologically inflamed appendix with an efficacy of 80%. Conclusion: In selected cases, AA can be managed by NOT taking into consideration patient assurance, proper observation, communication, and follow up.
China and global external imbalances: some further evidence

The large imbalances in the current account positions of the US and the Asian economies are seen by most scholars as the main threat to an orderly development of the global economy. While the opinions on the most likely evolution of these imbalances and on their sustainability do differ across observers, ranging from catastrophic to rather optimistic views, almost all agree that some adjustment will have to take place in the next future, and that this adjustment will involve, among other things, a rebalancing of saving and demand across the globe. As an outcome of this process, China shall increasingly supplement the US in the role of engine of global economic growth. Using a global macroeconometric model, we examine the impact on this adjustment process of a number of shocks originated in the Chinese economy, including an expansionary fiscal shock, a revaluation of the renmimbi, and an expansion of internal demand following an acceleration in the process of rural-urban migration. The analysis focuses on two related points: how will these shocks affect the medium-run evolution of transpacific imbalances, and how will they impact on global economic growth. The simulations allow us to track the impact of these shocks on the different poles of the world economy, and to assess their relative contribution to the task of reducing global imbalances without interrupting global economic growth.

CHINA AND GLOBAL EXTERNAL IMBALANCES: SOME FURTHER EVIDENCE
ects of farming works on soil surface bidirectional re ectance measurements and modelling

A model describing the directional re ectance in the optical domain from cultivated soil surfaces, taking into account their farming direction, is presented in the paper. It is discussed on the background of the directional re ectance measurements of soil surfaces, being eVects of farming works preparing the soil for colza sowing. The model considers a soil surface as equal-sized opaque spheroids of de nite shape and size dispersed in a net of squares on a freely sloping plane. They are absorbed into the plane having with their tops at a height above it. DiVerent values for this height, along and across the soil cultivation direction, are parameters which express the variation of soil surface irregularities caused by furrowed farming treatments. The structure is illuminated by direct solar and diVuse light. Wave energy is re ected from it taking into account the diVuse and the specular components. A set of geometrical parameters of the structure, the equivalent of the real rough soil surface, makes it possible to predict the soil directional re ectance in any illumination and viewing conditions. It was applied to trace the in uence of the direction of furrows, caused by a seeder, on the soil bidirectional re ectance.
Antimycotic Potential of Alum on Postharvest Deterioration of Tomato

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most economically attractive and widely consumed vegetables globally. Their high water content, perishability, transport and poor storage system predisposes them to spoilage by a broad spectrum of mycoflora resulting in huge postharvest losses. This study investigates antimycotic potential of alum on postharvest deterioration of tomato. Composite samples of deteriorating tomatoes were subjected to standard mycological analysis from which total fungal colony counts obtained ranged from 1.64x106-5.70x109 CFU/g, and the following species were identified; Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, Fusarium sp, Penicillium sp, Rhizopus stolonifer, Geotrichum candidium and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In vitro antimycotic activity of alum (1% (w/v) concentration) was determined on some of the isolates by agar well method (AWM) and diameter of inhibition zone (DIZ) measured using a metre rule. G. candidum had the highest DIZ (9.0mm (29.0%) followed by A. niger (8.0 mm (25.8%) and 7.0mm (⁓ 22.6%) for Fusarium and Penicillium species respectively. R. stolonifer showed no inhibition or zero. pH values increased from 4.35-4.52 whereas TTA values decreased from 0.13-0.07 within 2days of analysis. However, these results indicate that treatment of postharvest deteriorating tomatoes with alum prior to consumption would enhance food safety as some of these fungi are known to be spoilage, toxigenic or opportunistic pathogens. So, their presence raises concern on storability as well as public health risks associated with consumption of these fruits. Therefore, production of tomato requires an integrated and multidisciplinary research approach not only to reduce economic loss but also create consumers’ awareness on potential public health hazards of consuming relatively cheaper and pathogen contaminated deteriorating tomatoes.
The Time Augmented Cobb-Douglas Production Function

The main objective of this paper is to propose and verify a time augmentation of the Cobb-Douglas production function parameters which should be able to capture changing conditions over time. The parameters are estimated via the nonlinear least squares method. As data a time series including production and its sources, labour and capital, in the construction industries of six Central European countries for the period 1995–2015 is used. Our results, based on calculation of R2 and Theil’s U, prove that the models containing the time augmented parameters are better than the basic one. Also a verification of evaluated models using the economic reality for each country is given. In addition to the superiority of the time augmented models, these are applicable to distinguish the specifics of the development of productivity in individual countries.
Anastrozole alone or in combination with tamoxifen versus tamoxifen alone for adjuvant treatment of postmenopausal women with early breast cancer: first results of the ATAC randomised trial

Summary Background In the adjuvant setting, tamoxifen is the established treatment for postmenopausal women with hormone-sensitive breast cancer. However, it is associated with several side-effects including endometrial cancer and thromboembolic disorders. We aimed to compare the safety and efficacy outcomes of tamoxifen with those of anastrozole alone and the combination of anastrozole plus tamoxifen for 5 years. Methods Participants were postmenopausal patients with invasive operable breast cancer who had completed primary therapy and were eligible to receive adjuvant hormonal therapy. The primary endpoints were disease-free survival and occurrence of adverse events. Analysis for efficacy was by intention to treat. Findings 9366 patients were recruited, of whom 3125 were randomly assigned anastrozole, 3116 tamoxifen, and 3125 combination. Median follow-up was 33·3 months. 7839 (84%) patients were known to be hormone-receptor-positive. Diseasefree survival at 3 years was 89·4% on anastrozole and 87·4% on tamoxifen (hazard ratio 0·83 [95% CI 0·71–0·96], p=0·013). Results with the combination were not significantly different from those with tamoxifen alone (87·2%, 1·02 [0·89–1·18], p=0·8). The improvement in disease-free survival with anastrozole was seen in the subgroup of hormonereceptor-positive patients, but not the receptor-negative patients. Incidence of contralateral breast cancer was significantly lower with anastrozole than with tamoxifen (odds ratio 0·42 [0·22–0·79], p=0·007). Anastrozole was significantly better tolerated than tamoxifen with respect to endometrial cancer (p=0·02), vaginal bleeding and discharge (p<0·0001 for both), cerebrovascular events (p=0·0006), venous thromboembolic events (p=0·0006), and hot flushes (p<0·0001). Tamoxifen was significantly better tolerated than anastrozole with respect to musculoskeletal disorders and fractures (p<0·0001 for both). Interpretation Anastrozole is an effective and well tolerated endocrine option for the treatment of postmenopausal patients with hormone-sensitive early breast cancer. Longer follow-up is required before a final benefit:risk assessment can be made.
Characterization of Aquatic Beetles Shells (Hydraenidae family) derived chitosan and its application in order to eliminate the environmental pollutant bacterial

Chitosan is one of the natural biopolymer. Despite its importance, the characterization and extraction processes of this essential biopolymer are yet enigmatic. In this study, we developed an analytical procedure for the extraction of chitin and chitosan from the aquatic beetles’ shells (Hydraenidae family). The commercial chitosan and isolated chitosan, obtained during our experiment were analyzed by XRD, EDX, SEM, FT-IR, TGA, and UV-vis DRS techniques. Our results indicate 38% chitin and 23.5% chitosan segregated from the aquatic beetles’ shells. The ratio of protein residues to the wet weight (RWW) of the segregated chitosan was about 24%. FT-IR analysis attested that the isolated chitosan from the aquatic beetles’ shells was identical to the commercial chitosan. The EDX analysis does not reveal any impurities or the used precursor's characterized peaks, confirming high purity percentage of the segregated chitosan. Furthermore, according to the SEM images the segregated chitosan has smooth surface with amorphous property. Ultimately, the antibacterial activities of isolated chitosan were investigated against Escherichia coli (Gram-negative) and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive) bacteria to assess their potential antibacterial applications. The results showed that the isolated chitosan from the aquatic beetles represented an outstanding performance in against the studied bacteria.
The Effect of Hydroxamic Siderophores Structure on Acetylation of Histone H3 and Alpha Tubulin in Pinus sylvestris Root Cells

Protein acetylation affects gene expression, as well as other processes in cells, and it might be dependent on the availability of the metals. However, whether iron chelating compounds (siderophores) can have an effect on the acetylation process in plant roots is largely unknown. In the present study, western blotting and confocal microscopy was used to examine the degree of acetylation of histone H3 and alpha tubulin in Pinus sylvestris root cells in the presence of structurally different siderophores. The effect of metabolites that were produced by pathogenic and mycorrhizal fungi was also assessed. No effect was observed on histone acetylation. By contrast, the metabolites of the pathogenic fungus were able to decrease the level of microtubule acetylation, whereas treatment with iron-free ferrioxamine (DFO) was able to increase it. This latter was not observed when ferrioxamine-iron complexes were used. The pathogen metabolites induced important modifications of cytoskeleton organization. Siderophores also induced changes in the tubulin skeleton and these changes were iron-dependent. The effect of siderophores on the microtubule network was dependent on the presence of iron. More root cells with a depolymerized cytoskeleton were observed when the roots were exposed to iron-free siderophores and the metabolites of pathogenic fungi; whereas, the metabolites from mycorrhizal fungi and iron-enriched forms of siderophores slightly altered the cytoskeleton network of root cells. Collectively, these data indicated that the metabolites of pathogenic fungi mirror siderophore action, and iron limitation can lead to enhanced alternations in cell structure and physiology.

SATISFACTION RECOVERY MEDIATES THE EFFECT OF INTERACTIONAL JUSTICE ON REPURCHASE INTENTION : STUDY IN BANK MANDIRI BANDA ACEH

The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze the effect of satisfaction recovery and interactional justice toward repurchase intention customers of Bank Mandiri Banda Aceh. The research is conducted at the Bank Mandiri special for Customer located in Banda Aceh. This study uses Non-Probability Sampling, that is the sampling technique that does not give equal opportunity or chance each element or a selected member of the population being sampled. While the sampling technique used is purposive sampling, with number of sample as much as 100 people. The result concludes that interactional justice influences satisfaction recovery significantly, satisfaction recovery influences repurchase intention significantly, Against interactional justice Effect of repurchase intention significantly, interactional justice effects repurchase intention significantly, and interactional justice effects repurchase intention through satisfaction recovery significantly. These findings enrich the knowledge of causality theories and this also as a reference for the practical managers especially for leaders in Bank Mandiri Banda Aceh to pay more attention to the variables related. The originality ies in the verifying of the causality models. This model is an integration from the previous research model, and it is analyzed using SEM. Also, the time and the object can be a new one. The limitation is in the number of variables but can be developed more in the next research. Keyword: satisfaction recovery, interactional justice, repurchase intention. INTRODUCTION Complaint handling qualities over a given bank to the customer is very important to determine the intention of the customer to come back or not. Purchase intention are consequences prominent in the paradigm of satisfaction/dissatisfaction (Oliver, 1996) in Maxham 2002, h.242. Intention is defined as the likelihood that someone will recommend the product or service the company after the failure and recovery efforts, and purchase intent refers to the extent to which the customer intends to buy a product / service in the future. repurchase intention is a repetitive of purchase intention. According to (Kau and Loh, 2006) in (Rashid, Ahmad and Othman, 2014) customer satisfaction as an evaluation of customers after behaving at a certain place and time. (Maxham and Netemeyer, 2002) states that the level of satisfaction has a positive effect on the interest to behave again, in addition to partially mediating justice towards the purchase interest.

OVARIAN STEROIDAL PROFILE AND FERTILITY TO INSULIN AND GnRH ADMINISTRATION IN POSTPARTUM ANESTRUS BUFFALOES

To study the effect of exogenous administration of insulin on ovarian and fertility response in anestrus buffaloes, 18 true anestrus buffaloes were selected and equally divided into 3- groups (n=6). Animals of group-I (G1) received subcutaneous injection of highly purified long acting bovine insulin at the dose of 0.25 IU kg-1 bodyweight, once daily for 5 consecutive days. Animals of group-II (G2) received an intramuscular injection of 20 μg buserelin acetate where as animals of group-III (control) received an intramuscular injection of 2.5 ml sterile saline. In response to the treatment, 50 and 33.33% animals were induced in estrus with in 25 ± 0.94 and 9.5±3.18 days from start of treatment, respectively in G1 and G2; however, no animal was induced in estrus in control group. Conception rate at induced estrus was 100% in both the treatment groups. The mean serum progesterone (P4) concentration was less than 1ng/ml on day before start of treatment, day 7th and 14th following start of treatment in all the experimental animals. The basal level of P4 concentration (ng/ml) at induced estrus (0.44 ± 0.25 and 0.19 ± 0.04) increased (4.46 ± 0.22 and 4.47 ± 0.58) significantly (p<0.05) at day 10 post estrus, respectively, in G1 and G2. No significant difference in serum estradiol-17b(E2) concentration was recorded on day before start of treatment, day 7th, 14th following start of treatment and day 10th post estrus either within or between the treatment groups. It may be concluded that exogenous administration of insulin stimulates the ovarian and fertility response in anestrous buffaloes.
