Revisiting peri-aryloxyquinones: From a forgotten photochromic system to a promising tool for emerging applications
Authors: Lvov Andrey , Klimenko Lyubov , Bykov Vasily , Hecht Stefan
Published: November 2023

Emerging applications of photochromic compounds demand new molecular designs that can be inspired by some long-known yet currently forgotten classes of photoswitches. In the present review, we would like to remind the community about Peri-AryloxyQuinones (PAQs) and their unique photoswitching behavior originally discovered by Gerasimenko more than 50 years ago. At the heart of this phenomenon is the light-induced migration of an aromatic moiety (arylotropy) in peri-aryloxy-substituted quinones resulting in ana-quinones. PAQs feature absorbance of both isomers in the visible spectral region, photochromism in the amorphous and crystalline state, and thermal stability of the photogenerated ana-isomer. Particularly noticeable is the high sensitivity of the ana-isomer towards nucleophiles in solution. In addition to the mechanism of molecular photochromism and the underlaying structure-switch relationships, we analyze potential applications and prospects of aryloxyquinones in optically switchable materials and devices. Due to their ability to efficiently photoswitch in the solid state, PAQs are indeed attractive candidates for such materials and devices, including electronics (optically controllable circuits, switches, transistors, memories, and displays), porous crystalline materials, crystalline actuators, photoactivated sensors, and many more. This review is intended to serve as a guide for researchers who wish to use photoswitchable PAQs in the development of new photocontrollable materials, devices, and processes.

Published: November 2023

Manganese doped chlorapatite compounds have attracted interest as inorganic pigments due to their vivid colours. In this paper, we investigate the effect of Sr incorporation in the turquoise pigment Ba10(MnO4)(PO4)5Cl2. on the structure and optical properties. The results show a turquoise colour throughout the series studied, except for a single compound, Ba6Sr4(MnO4)(PO4)5Cl2 which exhibits an intense blue hue. The colour change is explained by Ba/Sr cation ordering in the apatite structure, with this composition corresponding to complete occupation of the A1 site by Sr and the A2 site by Ba, and similar results are also observed for the related manganese doped bromoapatite system. The unique blue colour for these cation ordered compositions illustrates the potential to control the colour of apatite pigments through exploiting cation site preferences, while its’ low cost represents a key advantage compared to recently reported blue YIn1-xMnxO3 pigments.

Application of the method of insignificant divergences to diagnose the technical aircraft gas turbine engine state under the transient-state conditions of its operation
Authors: Mashoshin O. F. , Kharmats I. G.
Published: November 2023

The article deals with issues related to the use of parametric information of the transient-state gas turbine engines (GTE) operation conditions for diagnosing their technical condition during the operation. A review of general approaches to computational algorithms for the recognition and classification of the condition applicable to aircraft GTE has been carried out. The significance of analytical models in modern algorithms for assessing the technical GTE condition is emphasized. The construction of a linearized mathematical model for the transient-state condition of the generalized-scheme aircraft GTE operation has been considered. It represents a system of equations analytically combining the relative parameter divergences measured during the engine operation with the relative divergences of unmeasured thermogasdynamic parameters and geometric gas-air flow duct parameters allowing for the technical condition of gas-air channel elements to be classified. A method for constructing mathematical and diagnostic engine models, using the transient response data, has been formulated. The capability of employing a method of insignificant divergences, used to build linear (linearized) mathematical and diagnostic GTE models for the steady-state conditions of its operation, has been demonstrated as well. It is shown that, despite the structural similarity of linear models of the steady and transient-state processes, diagnostics by means of the stated above processes is based on completely different principles – under the steady-state condition, the classification of a technical condition is determined by the variation in the value of the group of controlled responses, and under the transient-state condition, this operation is based on correlating the change in the transient-state behavior. To ensure the versatility of employing proposed methods regarding various GTE designs installed on modern civil aircraft, a generalized-design aircraft GTE model – a three-shaft bypass turbojet engine with mixing flows in a common jet nozzle, has been considered.

Circadian rhythms are essential physiological feature for most living organisms. Previous studies have shown that epigenetic regulation plays a crucial role. There is a knowledge gap in the chromatin state of some key clock neuron clusters. In this study, we show that circadian rhythm is affected by the epigenetic regulatorPolycomb(Pc) within theDrosophilaclock neurons. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the roles ofPcin these clock neuron clusters, we use targeted DamID (TaDa) to identify genes significantly bound by Pc in the neurons marked byC929-Gal4(including l-LNvs cluster),R6-Gal4(including s-LNvs cluster),R18H11-Gal4(including DN1 cluster), andDVpdf-Gal4,pdf-Gal80(including LNds cluster). It shows that Pc binds to the genes involved in the circadian rhythm pathways, arguing a direct role forPcin regulating circadian rhythms through specific clock genes. This study shows the identification of Pc targets in the clock neuron clusters, providing potential resource for understanding the regulatory mechanisms of circadian rhythms by the PcG complex. Thus, this study provided an example for epigenetic regulation of adult behavior.

In the Nepa-Botuoba anteclise of the Siberian Platform, the Sosninsky swell-like fold-thrust structure is described that was formed, presumably, since the Late Devonian – Early Carboniferous under conditions of episodic displaying of significant tangential stresses from the southeast – i.e. from the structural heterogeneity of the Baikal-Patom highlands, which has formed in the Late Riphean. The effect of shear deformations occurred also. It is shown that tectonic displacements that were recognized along thick plastic layers of salt, caused a significant difference in the geological structure of the deformed lower-middle (supra-salt and saline) and undeformed lower (sub-salt) structural complexes of the Dulisma oil and gas condensate field.

Published: November 2023

The survey work, construction and operation of the railroad from Irkutsk along the southern shore of Lake Baikal were accompanied by detailed geological studies. During several field seasons during the surveys all projected directions of the railroad were studied. As a result, it was recommended to build a railroad from the source of Angara to Mysovoye village along the shore of Lake Baikal. But the results turned out to be too optimistic. During the development of rocky slopes from the source of Angara to Kultuk, intensive rockfalls began, which continued during the operation of the line, which caused new surveys of the entire section. In the vicinity of Mysovoye village, the identified ancient landslides caused additional study of the geological structure of the area and drainage works.

Synthetic sulfated saccharides in cell signalling
Authors:   , Sheppard Daniel
Published: November 2023

Access to heparan sulfate-like oligosaccharides, displaying a specific sulfation pattern, is chemically challenging but highly desirable for further insight into the relationship between structure (including sulfation pattern) and function of heparan sulfates. One of the difficulties encountered in heparan sulfate oligosaccharide synthesis is the incorporation of uronic acids, due to reduced reactivity of these saccharides. Another difficulty is the design of a protecting group strategy to give selective access to sites for sulfation.

To investigate the use of uronic acids as donors in oligosaccharide synthesis, a series of comparative glycosylation reactions was carried out using both hexose and uronate, donor and acceptor disaccharides. An orthogonally protected disaccharide was synthesised to access these donors and acceptors. It was found that acetimidate donor systems performed very well in the hexose case, whereas using a uronate acetimidate donor significantly reduced yields of the reaction. A thioglycoside donor performed similarly in both cases but was overall significantly lower yielding than the hexose acetimidate reaction.

Later, two fully protected octasaccharide targets were synthesised. The compounds were designed to investigate the structural requirements for FGF/FGF2 binding. Considering the previous results, the synthesis of these octasaccharides was carried out using hexose donors, necessitating an oxidation step following chain assembly. Firstly, two monosaccharide starting materials, incorporating a novel protecting group allowing orthogonal access to the 3-O-position of glucosamine residues, were synthesised. The monosaccharides were then glycosylated to produce disaccharide building blocks, from which the octasaccharide chains were assembled.

Considerable difficulty was encountered in oligosaccharide assembly reactions using tetrasaccharide and especially hexasaccharide acceptors. This difficulty may have arisen from the novel protecting group, which is proximal to the reaction site. Some optimisation was achieved by changing the donor system used, but ultimately a revised glycosylation strategy was used to overcome this difficulty.

In future work, the fully protected octasaccharides will be oxidised, deprotected and sulfated in sequence to produce an octasaccharide heparan sulfate mimetic with a specific sulfation pattern.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of micro-marsupialization with surgical excision for the treatment of mucoceles originating from the minor salivary glands of the lower lip. Our primary endpoints were the mean procedural time and the duration of post-operative healing. Study Design: Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT). Setting: Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faisalabad Medical University, Faisalabad. Period: 1st July 2022 to 31th Dec 2022. Material & Methods: We enrolled a total of 60 patients, with 30 in each group (Group X: micro-marsupialization, Group Y: surgical excision). Random allocation was performed using a lottery method. Procedural time (in minutes) and post-operative healing duration (in days) were recorded for both groups, with follow-up assessments conducted over a 3-month period. Results: The study comprised 60 patients (40 males and 20 females) with a mean age of 34.60±10.15 years in Group X and 36.03±9.25 years in Group Y. In Group X, the mean surgical time was 6.23±0.935 minutes, while in Group Y, it was 34.70±2.493 minutes. A statistically significant difference in surgical time was observed between the two groups (p 0.0001). Regarding post-operative healing, Group X had a mean duration of 4.67±0.844 days, while Group Y had a mean duration of 6.57±0.504 days. A statistically significant difference was also noted in post-operative healing duration between the two groups (p 0.008). Conclusion: This study underscores the superiority of micro-marsupialization over surgical excision as a treatment option for mucoceles originating from the minor salivary glands of the lower lip. Micro-marsupialization offers several advantages, including significantly shorter procedural times and faster post-operative healing periods.

Objective: To compare health status in term of clinical attachment loss and pocket depth adequately-controlled vs. inadequately-controlled type 2 diabetes. Study Design: Cross-Sectional study. Setting: Department of Periodontology, Khyber College of Dentistry, Peshawar. Period: 1st May 2021 to 30th January 2022. Material & Methods: A total of 142 participants with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), aged between 35 and 65 years, and with a DM duration exceeding 3 years, along with a minimum of seven teeth per arch determined through clinical examination, were included. Participants with type 1 diabetes mellitus, smokers, pregnant women, those on medications inducing gingival enlargement, those who underwent periodontal therapy in the last six months, and patients undergoing orthodontic treatment were excluded. Pocket depth and clinical attachment loss at six points on each reference tooth (including upper and lower first molars, first premolars, and central incisors) were measured using a Michigan 'O' Probe featuring William markings on a periodontal pocket chart. The arithmetic mean value was then calculated. To compare the two groups (adequately controlled diabetics and inadequately controlled diabetics), the mean pocket depth and mean clinical attachment loss were analyzed separately using an independent samples t-test. Results: The mean duration of DM, age, periodontal pocket depth, clinical attachment were 6.42 ±2.76 years, 50.77 ±9.50 years, 4.03 ±0.74mm, and 4.74 ±0.74mm. The males were 80(56%) and females were 62(44%). The mean PPD was less in well controlled (3.45±0.36mm) than poorly controlled diabetes (4.76±0.36mm) statistically significantly (p<0.001). Similarly mean CAL was less in adequately controlled (4.16±0.36mm) than inadequately controlled diabetes (5.47±0.36mm) statistically significantly (p<0.001). Conclusion: Inadequately controlled diabetes mellitus is associated with adverse periodontal health status.

Los editores de Pinocho, Paggy y Bemporad
Authors: Betti Carmen
Published: November 2023

Con motivo del interés que recientemente ha despertado a nivel internacional el trabajo editorial, en particular el escolar y educativo en general, ponemos a disposición de los lectores algunos de los resultados de una investigación recién concluida sobre la historia de los editores del libro Pinocho, la marioneta nacida de un pedazo de madera que, a ciento veinticinco años de su aparición, sorprendentemente continua encantando a chicos y grandes de todo el mundo, aun en la era de la desencantada e informatizada sociedad actual.

Si bien Pinocho y su autor, Carlo Collodi, se conocen y estudian en todo el mundo, nunca hubo interés alguno por sus dos editores, Paggi y Bemporad, cuyo profesionalismo, intuición y visión de largo alcance, también se encuentran en la base del éxito de la marioneta collodiana; inclusive en Italia durante mucho tiempo han permanecido en el olvido. La historia de las vicisitudes de estos dos autores es una veta interesante para descubrir un mundo del cual tenemos escasos conocimientos y familiaridad. Son trayectorias singulares, sin duda, como lo es la historia de cada editor, pero, también consideramos, que pueden resultar paradigmáticos y útiles para una relectura de historias analógicas, de modo que este artículo ofrece, asimismo, una clave e itinerarios de lectura que pueden ser de alguna utilidad a quien trate de emprender análogas pistas de estudio e investigación.
