A Pitzer Parametrization To Predict Solution Properties and Salt Solubility in the H–Na–K–Ca–Mg–NO3–H2O System at 298.15 K

A new set of Pitzer interaction parameters is proposed to describe the excess properties of the H–Na–K–Ca–Mg–NO3–H2O system at 298.15 K. From these parameters we reproduce the osmotic coefficient, mean activity coefficients, and density for the binary systems, and also salt solubility in the ternary subsystems. The binary interaction parameters are either selected from the literature or redetermined in this study. In the case of KNO3–H2O and HNO3–H2O binary systems, partial electrolyte dissociation has to be taken into account to represent accurately all the experimental data up to very high concentrations. Then solubility data of salts in the corresponding ternary systems are used to determine the ternary interaction parameters and the solubility products of the double salts. As KNO3 and HNO3 are partially dissociated, we have determined new interaction parameters involving neutral species (for instance ηKNO3/Na+/H+ or μHNO3/KNO3/Na+) to draw the phase diagram of quaternary systems Na–K–H–NO3. To complem.
INVESTIGATION OF IN VITRO ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY AND CYTOTOXICITY ON HUMAN SKIN FIBROBLASTS OF PLUCHEA INDICA (L.) LESS. LEAVES EXTRACT AND DEVELOPMENT TO MICROEMULSION FOR SKIN COSMETIC PRODUCT

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant activity and cytotoxicity on normal human skin fibroblasts of Pluchea indica (L.) Less. leaves extract and to prepare the extract into microemulsions for application in skin cosmetic ingredient. Methods: The total phenolics and total flavonoids content in ethanolic (30%, 70%, and 95% ethanol) and aqueous extracts of P. indica leaves were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu assay and aluminum chloride method. The quantification of 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid in the extracts was determined by an ultra-high performance liquid chromatography method. The antioxidant activity of extracts was examined by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2’-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The cytotoxicity on human fibroblast cell was tested by sulforhodamine B assay. The oil in water microemulsion was prepared by pseudoternary phase diagram. The characterization of prepared-microemulsion including morphology, particle size, and polydispersity index (PDI) was studied and the physicochemical stability of microemulsions was evaluated. Results: All P. indica leaves extracts contain a phenolic, flavonoid, and 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid contents. The 70% ethanolic extract possessed higher the antioxidant activities than 30% ethanolic, aqueous, and 95% ethanolic extracts, respectively, followed by DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assay. Thus, the 70% ethanolic extract was selected to develop in skin cosmetic. The 70% ethanolic extract had not cytotoxicity on dermal human skin fibroblasts cell. The microemulsion loaded extract provided a mean particle size of 24.397±1.20 nm with minimum PDI of 0.397±0.05 which shown a spherical shape. The microemulsion loaded extract showed a good stability. Conclusion: From all results, it has concluded that the 70% ethanolic extract of P. indica leaves contain phenolic, flavonoid, and 4,5-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid contents which possessed DPPH, ABTS+, and FRAP activities. In addition, this extract had no cytotoxic to normal human skin fibroblasts. Finally, the microemulsion loaded extract showed a good characterization and physicochemical stability.
Potential application of dental stem cells in regenerative reconstruction of oral and maxillofacial tissues: a narrative review

Background and Objective: Oral and maxillofacial (OMF) defects caused by congenital conditions, injuries, ablative surgery for benign and malignant head & neck tumor, can often lead to OMF deformities and malfunctions in speech, mastication/chewing, and swallowing as well as have deleterious psychological effects and socioeconomic burdens to patients. Due to the unique complex 3D geometry of the head and neck region, reconstruction and rehabilitation of OMF defects remain a major challenge for OMF surgeons. The purpose of this narrative review is to update the information on the biological properties and functions of mesenchymal stem cells derived from various dental tissues (dental-MSCs) and their potential application in tissue engineering (TE) and regenerative reconstruction of OMF tissues. Methods: A data-based search was performed by using PubMed database whereby articles published between 2000 and 2021 in English were included in the search with the following key words: dental stem cells, OMF reconstruction, OMF TE and regeneration. Key Content and Findings: Currently, the advancement in stem cell biology, biomaterial science, and TE technology has demonstrated the significant potential application of stem cell-based therapy in regenerative reconstruction and rehabilitation of OMF defects. However, no stem cell-based product or device has been translated into clinical application to replace microsurgical free tissue transfer, the current mainstay of care in the reconstruction of OMF defects. Conclusions: Currently, microsurgical free tissue transfer remains the gold standard mainstay of care for the reconstruction of OMF defects due to their abundant blood supply and flexibility for transplantation. However, several major challenges, such as the limited availability, the requirement of a second surgery, donor site morbidity, and the risk of free flap failure, have promoted the development of novel approaches. Due to the advancement in stem cell biology, biomaterial science, and TE technology, stem cell-based regenerative therapy is emerging as a promising therapeutic approach for a variety of diseases, including regenerative reconstruction and rehabilitation of OMF defects. In this narrative review, we update on the characteristics and biological functions of mesenchymal stem cells derived from various dental tissues (dental-MSCs) and their released cell-free products, extracellular vesicles (EVs). We also highlighted their potential application in TE and regenerative reconstruction of OMF defects in animal models and clinical studies and the potential challenges in this field.

These findings showed that the blended learning is a meaningful, effective educational strategy.
Structure of the zein protein as treated with subcritical water

ABSTRACT In the present study, we investigated the structure and selected functional properties of zein protein as treated with subcritical water. The results showed that subcritical water treatment, with different time (20–120 min) and temperatures (110–170°C), increased the solubility, foam capacity, and foam stability of zein protein significantly (p < 0.05). Analyses of particle size analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, circular dichroism spectra, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy indicated that subcritical water treatment improved the thermal stability and the denaturation temperature of zein protein, as well as increased slightly in the percentage of ordered structural elements within the protein molecule. In addition, the particle size of zein protein increased and the surface became rough significantly. All these suggested that subcritical water is a potential green chemical, which could highly be used to change the structure and improve the functional properties of zein protein.
Diazinon Reduction In Apple Juice Using Probiotic Bacteria During Fermentation And Refrigerated Storage

The main objective of this work was to study the effects of probiotic strains, probiotic primary inoculated population, concentrations of spiked diazinon, physiology of probiotic bacteria, fermentation times and cold storage period in six consecutive stages on diazinon reduction in apple juice. Chemical properties (pH, total acidity, and sugar content), probiotic viability and diazinon reduction percent were monitored during fermentation and cold storage. Dispersive Solid Phase Extraction (dSPE) followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to extract and measure diazinon concentration. Results showed that Lactobacillus acidophilus revealed the highest ability to reduce diazinon in apple juice after fermentation. Inoculation of L. acidophilus at 9 log CFU/mL, showed signi�cantly higher diazinon reducing ability than 7 log CFU/mL. Ability of L. acidophilus to reduce the concentration of 1000 µg/L of spiked diazinon was signi�cantly greater than 5000 µg/L. Heat-killed (dead) L. acidophilus bacteria reduced less diazinon content at the end of fermentation than viable bacteria. Furthermore, 72 h of fermentation was more effective in diazinon reduction. Level of diazinon in treatments containing L. acidophilus decreased signi�cantly during cold storage period, so that it is completely disappeared at the end of storage (28 days) along with maintaining health-promoting properties of probiotic apple juice.
Vitamin E and Selenium Given as Dietary Supplements Accumulate in Tissues and Semen and Improve Reproductive Parameters in Older Red Cornish

The reproductive performance of broiler breeder chickens noticeably decreases toward the end of their commercial lives. Herein, we determined the effects of vitamin E and selenium dietary supplementation on semen traits, egg fertility (defined as fertilization and hatching rates) of adult (49-week-old) and older (63-week-old) Red Cornish breeders. We found that both vitamin E and selenium were concentrated in the liver and adipose tissue of adult and older Red Cornish breeders, and were transferred to the semen and egg yolk, respectively, in proportion to the level of supplementation. Vitamin E supplementation, in particular, improved ejaculate volume, total sperm count, sperm motility, and viability in both adult and older roosters, whereas selenium improved sperm motility and viability in the adult roosters. Egg fertility increased following supplementation with either vitamin E or selenium. The hatching rate also improved by both supplements in proportion to the level of supplementation. No significant synergistic effects of vitamin E and selenium were found. The levels of egg fertility and sperm trait improvements diminished with the age of the birds and depended on vitamin E and/or selenium doses. Thus, as dietary vitamin E and selenium supplements improved semen quality and egg fertility in these older Red Cornish broiler breeders, such birds could be maintained in flocks to prolong their reproductive output.
Parasitofauna of Blackchin tilapia Sarotherodon melanotheron (Teleostei: Cichlidae) from Ebrie Lagoon, Côte d’Ivoire

In this study the ecto and endoparasites infecting Sarotherodon melanotheron were investigated in Ebrie Lagoon between February 2019 and November 2019. A total of 108 randomly sampled Sarotherodon melanotheron was procured from fishermen and examined for parasites using standard parasitological methods. The parasites such as Monogenean Cichlidogyrus halinus, C. halli, C. acerbus and Scutogyrus minus), Myxosporea (Myxobolus beninensis, M. diamensis, M. nokouensis and M. sarotherodoni), Copepod (Ergasilus latus and E. sp), Acanthocephalan (Acanthogyrus tilapiae), Nematode (Eustrongylides sp) and the Trematoda (Clinostomum tilapiae and Euclinostomum heterostomum) were recorded. Gill and intestine were respectively the more and the least infected organ by parasites. The intensity of Monogenean, Copepod and Acanthocephalan were positively increased with host body size. In Contrast, the intensity of Myxosporean, Nematode and Trematode did not increase with host standard length. Monogenean and Copepod were more concentrated in male hosts and Myxosporean in female fish. However, no influence of host sex on parasitism level was observed for population of Acanthocephalan, Nematode and Trematode. This could enable the use of appropriate methods to fight against these pathogens, especially in intensive fish farming.
Frequency and Antimicrobial Resistance of Shigella Species in Iran During 2000 - 2020

Context: Numerous studies have shown the high frequency and antibiotic-resistant patterns of Shigella species in different provinces of Iran. In this study, we performed a comprehensive review from 2000 to 2020 in Iran to describe the prevalence rate and antibiotic-resistant patterns of S. sonnei, S. dysenteriae, S. flexneri, and S. boydii. Evidence Acquisition: We systematically searched the biomedical databases including Scopus, Google Scholar, PubMed, SID, and Web of Science for related articles published in English or Persian. Finally, out of 70 articles, 34 studies were included in the study. Results: From 44,292 clinical specimens, 2,742 cases were introduced as positive samples for Shigella species in Iran during 2000 - 2020. Also, S. sonnei (n = 1484, 54.1%) was the predominant species in Iran, followed by S. flexneri (n = 1100, 40.1%), S. dysenteriae (n = 80,3%), and S. boydii (n = 78, 2.8%). These Shigella species showed maximum resistance to ampicillin (n = 1759, 64% - 96%), cotrimoxazole (n = 1220, 87% - 100%), nalidixic acid (n = 649, 10% - 82%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (n = 459, 80% - 98.5%), cefotaxime (n = 410, 53% - 63%), and tetracycline (n = 386, 36% - 94%). No resistances were found against imipenem, meropenem, cefoxitin, norfloxacin, levofloxacin, azithromycin, and amoxicillin. Also, 308 and 359 cases were introduced as multidrug resistance (MDR) and extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) producing species, respectively. Conclusions: Evaluation of endemic shigellosis and antibiotic-resistant patterns through epidemiological studies are necessary to promote infection control strategies. These data may be useful to avoid empirical treatment, revise treatment guidelines, and decrease antimicrobial resistance of Shigella spp. in human societies.

Effects of irrigation intervals and irrigation levels on oil content and fatty acid composition of peanut cultivars

Oil content and fatty acid composition are the most significant quality criteria of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.), and these parameters is greatly influenced by irrigation and fertilization practices. A study was conducted to investigate the effects of irrigation intervals and irrigation levels on oil content and fatty acid composition of peanuts, under sandy soil conditions in two consecutive years, using ‘Halisbey’, ‘NC-7’, and ‘Sultan’ peanut cultivars, commonly grown in Turkey. Irrigation levels were arranged based on total evaporation from Class-A pan, and irrigations were applied through drip lines. Irrigation intervals were set as two and four days, and irrigation levels were set as 50% (I50), 75% (I75), 100% (I100) and 125% (I125) of Class-A pan evaporations. Oil content, unsaturated fatty acids (oleic and linoleic acids), and saturated fatty acids (palmitic, myristic, arachidic, behenic and lignoceric acids) were determined. For oil content, treatments were identified as the most appropriate irrigation for a two-day irrigation interval of all cultivars, I100 for four-day irrigation interval of ‘Halisbey’ and ‘Sultan’ cultivars and I75 for four-day irrigation interval of ‘NC-7’ cultivar. Oleic, linoleic, and palmitic acids were the major fatty acids of peanuts. Cultivars exhibited different variations in these fatty acids based on irrigation intervals and irrigation levels. In general, oleic acid contents decreased, but linoleic and palmitic acid contents increased with increasing irrigation levels. The greatest oleic acid contents were obtained from two and four-day irrigation intervals of I50 treatments in ‘Halisbey’ and ‘NC-7’ cultivars and from two and four-day irrigation intervals of I75 treatments of the second year in ‘Sultan’ cultivar. Present findings revealed that for quality peanut production, both irrigation intervals and irrigation levels should be taken into consideration.
CULTIVATING RESEARCH CULTURE: CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAM TOWARD INITIATIVES TO IMPROVE TEACHERS SELF-EFFICACY, RESEARCH ANXIETY AND RESEARCH ATTITUDE

The teachinglearning process is built on evidence based practice. Teachers must consider the research foundations in order to apply evidence based practice effectively. According to previous results, only a few teachers at the school participate in action research. It suggests that the school's research culture has not yet been completely accepted, despite the fact that it is being promoted which is articulated on the training needs assessment indicate that teachers need a lot of training in doing action research. On these premises, a study was carried out to assess the effectiveness of capacity building program toward initiati ves to improve the teacher’s self efficacy, research anxiety and research attitude. It employed descriptive evaluative research design. It administered likert questionnaires to 50 teachers. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results revealed that most of the teacher respondent s are Technology Livelihood Education Teachers with a 6 10 years of teaching in the public school and bachelor’s degree holder. More so, teachers have high research self efficacy, low anxiety, and high positive attitude toward conducting action research. Notably, Teacherdescribed the capacity building program towards research initiative in conducting action research as highly effective. However, the level of the research culture index of the schoo l were fair which the scored below 80%. It showed that significant relationship between research self efficacy, research anxiety, and research attitude and the profile of novice teachers researchers.Similarly, there was a statistically significant assoc iation between research self efficacy,research anxiety, and research attitude among novice teachers researchers. When novice teachers researchers are categorized according to profile, there is a substantial gap in the evaluation of research self effi cacy, research anxiety, and research attitude. This study recommended to adapt these capacity building program in the division level to help the teacher raise their level of capability in research.
by separate-flow with sources

The doping of element (Nb, Ta, etc.) into MoS 2 , one of the layered transition metal dichalcogenides, is a key technology for electronic devices because the lack of the p-type MoS 2 has limited the range of applications. We report that the Mo 1-x Nb x S 2 thin films were synthesized on SiO 2 /Si substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). It was critical to use chloride sources (MoCl 5 and NbCl 5 ) for the synthesis of Mo 1-x Nb x S 2 . The Nb concentration can be increased to 10% by controlling the supplied amount of Nb using a separate-flow CVD apparatus. The Raman spectra changed as the Nb concentration increased, appearing E 2 (Nb-S) vibrational mode. The photoluminescence (PL) at 655 nm, attributed to emission from excitons, disappeared, when Nb was incorporated into the MoS 2 . PL due to trions at 680 nm was observed for the Mo 1-x Nb x S 2 thin films.
