A review on bioanalytical method development and validation of anticancer drugs by using lc/ms/ms and its applications on routine analysis
Authors: Tallam Anil Kumar , Alapati Sahithi , Nuli Mohana Vamsi
Published: March 2023

A protocol is used to detect and measure biomolecules and metabolites in human and animal tissues using bimolecular methods. The biosanalinity method is effective at determining the number of drugs and metabolites in a biological system. New methods, the validation of existing procedures, and the analysis of samples are one of the prominent tasks for bioanalysis. Above all, a compound can be measured using several methods and identified by different methods of analysis. Drugs may be tested by several extraction techniques, including liquid extraction, solid-phase extraction, and protein precipitation in complex plasma and biological samples. To determine how the environment, matrix, or procedures impact the matrix estimation to the time of the analysis, all steps in the process must be investigated. The more detailed study of drug products can be performed with higher-pressure analytical techniques, such as high- extraction (HPLC), liquid chromatography coupled with double-mass spectrometry (LCMS/MS), and ultra-performance Liquid chromatography (UPLC). Both of them have flaws and strengths. At present, HPLC and GC usually perform biolysis. The parameters are linearity, repeatability, accuracy, selectivity, and continuity. We are proposing the development and validation of bioanalytical systems to assist in the quality assurance of drugs.

Authors: Batchu Sai , Diaz Michael J. , Ladehoff Lauren , Root Kevin , Lucke-Wold Brandon
Published: March 2023

Aim: Conventional techniques to share and archive spinal imaging data raise issues with trust and security, with novel approaches being more greatly considered. Ethereum smart contracts present one such novel approach. Ethereum is an open-source platform that allows for the use of smart contracts. Smart contracts are packages of code that are self-executing and reside in the Ethereum state, defining conditions for programmed transactions. Though powerful, limited attempts have been made to showcase the clinical utility of such technologies, especially in the pre- and post-operative imaging arenas. Herein, we therefore aim to propose a proof-of-concept smart contract that stores intraoperative three-dimensional (3D) augmented reality surgical navigation (ARSN) data and was tested on a private, proof-of-authority network. To the author’s best knowledge, the present study represents a first-use case of the InterPlanetary File Storage protocol for storing and retrieving spine imaging smart contracts.
Methods: The content identifier hashes were stored inside the smart contracts while the interplanetary file system (IPFS) was used to efficiently store the image files. Insertion was achieved with four storage mappings, one for each of the following: fictitious patient data, specific diagnosis, patient identity document (ID), and Gertzbein grade. Inserted patient observations were then queried with wildcards. Insertion and retrieval times for different record volumes were collected.
Results: It took 276 milliseconds to insert 50 records and 713 milliseconds to insert 350 records. Inserting 50 records required 934 Mbyte (MB) of memory per insertion with patient data and imaging, while inserting 350 records required almost the same amount of memory per insertion. In a database of 350 records, the retrieval function needs about 1,026 MB to query a record with all three fields left blank, but only 970 MB to obtain the same observation from a database of 50 records.
Conclusion: The concept presented in this study exemplifies the clinical utility of smart contracts and off-chain data storage for efficient retrieval/insertion of ARSN data.

First phase of antipsychotic metabolism in the liver: the role of oxidation
Authors: Shnayder N. A. , Khasanova A. K. , Nasyrova R. F.
Published: March 2023

This article discusses issues related to the role of biotransformation or metabolism of antipsychotics (APs) in the liver. There are three phases of APs metabolism. Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase, an oxidase with mixed functions, plays a key role in the biotransformation of most APs, participating in the first phase of metabolism. The functional activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes depends on the carriage of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) of the genes encoding these enzymes, as well as on drug-drug interactions. The functional activity of cytochrome P450 enzymes may affect the efficacy and safety of the use of APs. It is important for a practicing psychiatrist to know the pathways of APs oxidation to prevent adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and unwanted drug-drug interactions, which will subsequently increase the efficacy and safety of AP therapy

Published: March 2023

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are among the most frequently prescribed medications; however, their use may be associated with the development of numerous adverse reactions. Purpose of work: to analyze the data of studies, in which the influence of pharmacogenetic features of patients on the safety of NSAID therapy was studied. The results of numerous studies show that the safety of NSAIDs may be associated with the CYP2C9, CYP2C8, PTGS1 and PTGS2 polymorphisms. The allele frequency of these genes varies in different ethnic groups. Thus, the development of a personalized approach based on genetic, clinical and demographic, and ethnic factors of patients will improve the safety of NSAID therapy
The role of DNA-profiling in predicting anticonvulsant-induced QT prolongation diseases based on pharmacogenetic aspects
Authors: Zhuravlev N. M. , Shnayder N. A. , Nasyrova R. F.
Published: March 2023

Anticonvulsants or antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are widely used for various neurological and psychiatric diseases and are often prescribed for a long period. In this regard, the issue of their safety profile is acute, including risk assessment for the development of life-threatening conditions and adverse drug reactions (ADRs). From the point of view of personalized medicine, it is important to develop an interdisciplinary approach to the development of a new strategy for a personalized approach to predicting AED-induced prolongation of the QT interval as one of the most unfavorable prognostic cardiac ADRs (including sudden death syndrome — SDS). We searched the databases of full-text publications for the period from 2012 to 2022 for keywords and their combinations. We have discovered and systematized monogenic and multifactorial forms of long QT syndrome (LQTS) and candidate genes that slow down AEDs metabolism in the liver. Identification of risk alleles of single nucleotide variants (SNV) of candidate genes predisposing to the development of AED-induced LQTS and SDS will allow adjusting the choice and dosage of these drugs and preventing the development of the ADR, which will improve the quality of life and help prevent SDS in patients with mental and neurological disorders

Published: March 2023

Relevance. Endocrine therapy is the standard treatment for women with ER-positive breast cancer. The clinical response to Tamoxifen is variable. Approximately 30 % of patients with breast cancer will have a recurrence of the disease within 15 years after treatment, despite ongoing endocrine therapy. This article presents the results of a prospective pharmacogenetic cohort study. The study was conducted in 2018–2019. Aim. To analyze adverse drug reactions to Tamoxifen in the adjuvant regimen in breast cancer patients in relation to the carriage of genetic polymorphisms of genes encoding cytochrome P450 enzymes and drug transporter proteins and to build predictive models based on them. A comparative analysis of the relationship between genetic and non-genetic determinants with adverse events on tamoxifen therapy allowed us to build predictive models of their development. Materials and Methods. The study involved 120 women with pre- and postmenopausal breast cancer who underwent genetic testing for CYP and Pg enzyme gene polymorphisms. Entry criteria: a histologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer, taking Tamoxifen at the recommended doses, establishing a diagnosis not earlier than 2007, and obtaining informed voluntary consent to participate in the study. Allelic variants were determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction in the Research Institute for Molecular and Personalized Medicine of the Russian Medical Academy of Continuous Professional Education of the Ministry of Healthcare of the Russian Federation. Results. An associative analysis showed their association with the development of adverse drug reactions (ADR) to Tamoxifen, indicating the clinical significance of different genetic polymorphisms of CYP2D6, CYP3A5, CYP2C9 and ABCB1. The complex associative analysis performed using mathematical modeling made it possible to build predictive risk models for the development of such ADR, such as hot flashes, dyspepsia, bone pain, and asthenia. The resulting regression models were statistically significant (p < 0,001) and demonstrated high diagnostic efficiency. This allows them to be implemented in clinical practice. Conclusion. Thus, models that include both genetic and non-genetic determinants of response may further improve the prediction of individual response to tamoxifen

Authors: Kohlrausch Klinger Ana Carolina , Pinto Toledo Geni Salete , Robalo Silvino , Picolli da Silva Leila
Published: March 2023

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of sweet potato vines as a source of fiber on the plasma parameters in healthy rabbits. For this, 15 rabbits were allocated into five groups, and each group was fed a different diet for a period of 46 days. The diets were as follows: diet without sweet potato vines (0SPV), and experimental diets with 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of sweet potato vines in replacement of alfalfa hay respectively (25SPV, 50SPV, 75SPV and 100SPV). Triglycerides and VLDL-cholesterol concentrations were approximately 53% lower in rabbits fed the 100SPV than in rabbits fed 0SPV. In addition, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and total-cholesterol concentrations were lower approximately 40% and 14%, respectively, in rabbits fed the 100SPV than in rabbits fed 0SPV. No significant differences were found among HDL-cholesterol, glucose, proteins, albumin and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) concentrations of the five groups. These results demonstrate that the consumption of sweet potato vines reduces the triglycerides, VLDLcholesterol and total cholesterol while maintains HDL-cholesterol levels. Therefore, sweet potato vines consumption may be another option to prevent coronary heart diseases in rabbits.

Working memory is supported by learning to represent items as actions
Authors: Cochrane Aaron , Green C. Shawn
Published: March 2023

Working memory is typically described as a set of processes that allow for the maintenance and manipulation of information for proximal actions, yet the “action” portion of this construct is commonly overlooked. In contrast, neuroscience-informed theories of working memory have emphasized the hierarchical nature of memory representations, including both goals and sensory representations. These two representational domains are combined for the service of actions. Here, we tested whether, as it is commonly measured (i.e., with computer-based stimuli and button-based responses), working memory involved the planning of motor actions (i.e., specific button presses). Next, we examined the role of motor plan learning in successful working memory performance. Results showed that visual working memory performance was disrupted by unpredictable motor mappings, indicating a role for motor planning in working memory. Further, predictable motor mappings were in fact learned over the course of the experiment, thereby causing the measure of working memory to be partially a measure of participants’ ability to learn arbitrary associations between visual stimuli and motor responses. Such learning was not highly specific to certain mappings; in sequences of short tasks, participants improved in their abilities to learn to represent items as actions in working memory. We discuss implications for working memory theories in light of hierarchical structure learning and ecological validity.

Authors: Ridhwan Reyaz  , Ahmad Qushairi Mohamad  , Yeou Jiann Lim  , Sharidan Shafie
Published: March 2023

The Riga plate is a substantial alteration in the world of engineering. Mainly used in submarines to regulate water flow, studying the behaviour of fluid flowing over a Riga plate is very advantageous. Although there are ample studies on fluid flowing over a Riga plate, the introduction of fractional derivatives, coupled with a non-Newtonian fluid, has yet to be done. Within the field of fluid mechanics, specifically boundary layer flow, fractional derivatives do not have a proven geometrical representation. However, analytical solutions would be useful in aiding experimental researches in the future. Thus, this study aims to present an analytical function for a Caputo-Fabrizio fractional derivative on an unsteady Casson fluid flowing over an accelerating vertical Riga plate by using the Laplace transform method. The parametric effects considered in this study is elucidated. Through observation of obtained graphical results generated via the obtained analytical solutions, it is found that amplification of the fractional parameter and modified Hartmann number increases the fluid velocity with an average increment of 42.05% and 1.56%, respectively. While amplification of the Casson parameter and Prandtl number dampens the fluid velocity by an average of 45.09% and 43.56%, respectively

This study aims to identify and describe the role of the Covid-19 task force in Ngada District. This type of research is descriptive research using a qualitative approach. The informants who became the resource persons for this research were the Chairperson of the Covid-19 Task Force for Ngada Regency, the Head of the BPBD for Ngada Regency, the Head of the Ngada Regency Police, the TNI, POLRI, SATPOL PP, people who have been exposed to Covid-19 and also people who have never been exposed to Covid-19. Total informants in this study amounted to 11 people. Data collection techniques in this study are observation, interviews, and documentation. The data that has been collected is then analyzed using data analysis techniques from Yin (2008: 34) which are dominantly carried out in case study research. The results of this study indicate that the role of the Ngada Regency Covid-19 task force has been good, especially in preventing the spread of the corona virus, but the obstacle in preventing the spread of Covid-19 is the lack of public understanding, as well as local customary habits which always cause crowds so as to spread the virus. This was difficult for the Ngada Regency Covid-19 Task Force team to overcome. The Ngada Regency Task Force Team continues to carry out its role as the unit in charge of preventing the spread of the corona virus while continuing to provide outreach, supervise and resolve problems that occur in the community.

Published: March 2023

Cemetery landscapes are austere and generally require maintenance. The materials and equipment used for maintenance emit greenhouse gases (GHGs). This research aimed to quantify the annual GHG emissions and global warming potential (GWP) indices of traditional and natural cemeteries for more environmentally friendly green and grey facility planning of cemetery areas. Based on life cycle assessment (LCA), in Yorkshire, UK, as an example, traditional cemeteries were found to be mostly established with landscaped cemetery facilities, and natural cemeteries were found to include mostly underground burials covered with wild plants. The average GHG emissions per hm2 in traditional cemetery maintenance (1,552.88 kg/CO2-e) were 1.8 times those in natural cemeteries (870.88 kg/CO2-e). In the cemetery plant community, the mean GHG emissions for grassland maintenance (1,867.65 kg/CO2-e) were 6.7, 2.8 and 2.3 times higher than the woodland, meadow and shrub maintenance values of 280.77, 673.03 and 821.00 kg/CO2-e, respectively. The mean GWP indexes for traditional and natural cemetery green space maintenance were 0.027 and 0.015, respectively, which were generally higher than those for urban green space maintenance (0.010). This research recommends replacing grasslands with wild meadows, reducing the size of ground cemetery facilities and limiting the application of maintenance materials (i.e., irrigation water and pesticides) to reduce the environmental impact of green space in cemeteries.

Published: March 2023

We present a systematic analysis to determine and improve the pulsation periods of 1637 known long-period Mira variables in M33 using gri-band light curves spanning ∼18 yr from several surveys, including the M33 variability survey, Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System, Palomar Transient Factory (PTF), intermediate PTF, and Zwicky Transient Facility. Based on these collections of light curves, we found that optical-band light curves that are as complete as possible are crucial to determine the periods of distant Miras. We demonstrated that the machine-learning techniques can be used to classify Miras into O-rich and C-rich based on the (J − K

s

Stellar bars are key drivers of secular evolution in galaxies and can be effectively studied using rest-frame near-infrared (NIR) images, which trace the underlying stellar mass and are less impacted by dust and star formation than rest-frame UV or optical images. We leverage the power of JWST CEERS NIRCam images to present the first quantitative identification and characterization of stellar bars at z > 1 based on rest-frame NIR F444W images of high resolution (∼1.3 kpc at z ∼ 1–3). We identify stellar bars in these images using quantitative criteria based on ellipse fits. For this pilot study, we present six examples of robustly identified bars at z > 1 with spectroscopic redshifts, including the two highest-redshift bars at z ∼ 2.136 and 2.312 quantitatively identified and characterized to date. The stellar bars at z ∼ 1.1–2.3 presented in our study have projected semimajor axes of ∼2.9–4.3 kpc and projected ellipticities of ∼0.41–0.53 in the rest-frame NIR. The barred host galaxies have stellar masses ∼1 × 1010 to 2 × 1011
M
⊙ and star formation rates of ∼21–295 M
⊙ yr−1, and several have potential nearby companions. Our finding of bars at z ∼ 1.1–2.3 demonstrates the early onset of such instabilities and supports simulations where bars form early in massive dynamically cold disks. It also suggests that if these bars at lookback times of 8–11 Gyr survive out to present epochs, bar-driven secular processes may operate over a long time and have a significant impact on some galaxies by z ∼ 0.

The data we present are part of the CUARENTAGRI project, which involves all archipelagos of the Macaronesia (Azores, Madeira, Canary Islands and Cabo Verde). The project aims to: i) identify and evaluate the risks associated with the introduction of new arthropod pests; ii) study the population dynamics of selected arthropod pest species currently responsible for the damage of key target crops and iii) develop monitoring systems, based on prediction and/or population dynamics of the crop pests, creating warnings and a phytosanitary prevention system. In this contribution, we compile data for three Azorean Islands (Terceira, São Jorge and São Miguel Islands), where pheromone-baited traps were placed in pastures, potato fields and several orchards’ types (apples, banana, chestnuts, olives, orange and strawberry), during three consecutive years (2020, 2021 and 2022).

A total of 114,827 specimens of insects (Arthropoda, Insecta) were collected, belonging to four orders, six families and ten recorded pest species. A total of eight species are considered introduced (Cosmopolites sordidus(Germar, 1824),Drosophila suzukii(Matsumura, 1931),Bactrocera oleae(Rossi, 1790),Ceratitis capitata(Wiedemann, 1824),Phthorimaea operculella(Zeller, 1873),Cydia pomonella(Linnaeus, 1758),Cydia splendana(Hübner, 1799) andGrapholita molesta(Busck, 1916); n = 84,986 specimens) and two native non-endemic (Mythimna unipuncta(Haworth, 1809) andSpodoptera littoralis(Boisduval, 1833); n = 17,465 specimens). This study intended to contribute to a better knowledge of the arthropods pests that can affect the Azorean crops and will serve as a baseline for future monitoring actions, pest risk assessments and prevention systems.

DNA barcoding technologies have provided a powerful tool for the fields of ecology and systematics. Here, we present a part of the InBIO Barcoding Initiative Database: contribution to the knowledge on DNA barcodes of cuckoo wasps (Hymenoptera, Chrysididae) dataset representing 144 specimens and 103 species, covering approximately 44% of the Iberian and 21% of the European fauna. The InBIO Barcoding Initiative (IBI – DNA Barcoding Portuguese terrestrial invertebrate biodiversity) aims to fill the barcoding gap for the terrestrial invertebrate taxa. All DNA extractions are deposited in the IBI collection at CIBIO, Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources and specimens are deposited in the University of Mons collection (Belgium) and in the Natur-Museum in Lucerne (Switzerland).

This dataset increases the knowledge on the DNA barcodes and distribution of 102 species of cuckoo wasps. A total of 52 species, from 11 different genera, were new additions to the Barcode of Life Data System (BOLD), with DNA barcodes for another 44 species added from under-represented taxa in BOLD. All specimens have their DNA barcodes publicly accessible through the BOLD online database. Nine cuckoo wasp species are newly recorded for Portugal. Additionally, two new species for science are described:Chrysis crossiRosa, sp. nov. from southern Portugal andHedychridium calcariumRosa, sp. nov. from eastern Spain. Several taxonomic changes are proposed andHedychrum rutilansDahlbom, 1845 is found to consist of two different taxa that can be found in sympatry,Hedychrum rutilanss. str. andHedychrum viridaureumTournier, 1877 stat. nov.Stilbum westermanniDahlbom, 1845 stat. nov. is confirmed as distinct fromStilbum calens(Fabricius, 1781), with the latter species not confirmed as present in Iberia; barcodedStilbummaterial from Australia is distinct and representsStilbum amethystium(Fabricius, 1775) sp. resurr.; Portuguese material identified asHedychridium chloropygumBuysson, 1888 actually belongs toHedychridium caputaureumTrautmann & Trautmann, 1919, the first confirmed record of this species from Iberia.Philoctetes parvulus(Dahlbom, 1845) is confirmed to be a synonym ofPhiloctetes punctulatus(Dahlbom, 1845).Chrysis lusitanicaBischoff, 1910 is confirmed as a valid species.Chrysis hebraeicaLinsenmaier, 1959 stat. nov. is raised to species status.
A review of regulating ecosystem services in the context of urban planning
Authors: Stoycheva Vanya , Geneletti Davide
Published: March 2023

There is a high growing demand for regulating ecosystem services such as air quality regulation, regulation of air temperature and humidity, and flood regulation, in urban ecosystems which is important for urban planning. A comprehensive review of the current studies of the urban ecosystem, regulating ecosystem services, and their connection with urban planning actions is needed. The current paper presents such a review conducted in six stages to evaluate the state-of-the-art of regulating ecosystem services and their relationship with urban planning. It includes 58 papers selected after a precise keywords search and developed by publication screening, defining indicators, developing an assessment template, and meta-analysis of the results. The analyses are focused on spatial data used in the studies, the methods applied for ecosystem services assessment, and the relationships between regulating ecosystem services, urban planning, and green infrastructure. The most studied regulating ecosystem services within reviewed publications are regulation of chemical composition of atmosphere and oceans, regulation of temperature and humidity, including ventilation and transpiration, and hydrological cycle and water flow regulation (including flood control, and coastal protection). Although urban planning-related papers are only 1/3 of the pool of papers, appropriate results have been obtained for assessing the urban planning-regulating ecosystem services relation. The review also identified some significant knowledge gaps that can be used as a starting point for future studies.

Introduction: Brotowali (Tinospora crispa) has been traditionally used as an antidiabetic drug. DPP-IV inhibitor as an antidiabetic will increase insulin secretion. It indirectly escalates incretin hormones, such as Glucagon-Like peptide-1 (GLP-1) which depends on glucose. This study predicts potential compounds from the Brotowali plants, such as DPP-IV inhibitors, using the Molegro Virtual Docker (MVD).

Materials and methods: Before the molecular docking simulation, internal validation and external validation are necessary. Internal validation was carried out by re-docking the native ligands in the DPP-IV enzyme crystal structure (PDB codes 3G0B, 3W2T, and 3BJM). The external validation was carried out by simultaneous docking of 59 active compounds and 1918 inactive compounds (decoys) from the A Directory of Useful Decoys (DUD) database with PDB code 3G0B on 16 combinations, four search algorithms, and four functions scoring.

Results and discussion: The molecular docking simulation was carried out on 50 compounds from the Brotowali plant and alogliptin as standard compounds with PDB code 3G0B. The best results of the docking method validation yielded the RMSD values of 0.43 and EF1% of 20.34 and EF20% of 3.1 (the combination of search algorithm Moldock opti­mizer and scoring function Moldock score). The re-rank score of 5 compounds from the Brotowali plant (Rumphioside C, Borapetoside E, Borapetoside F, Rumphioside I, and 6’-O-Lactoyl Borapetoside B) were -107.7 kcal/mol; -105.4 kcal/mol; -104.2 kcal/mol, and -102.8 kcal/mol. Alogliptin (standard ligands) had a re-rank score of -101.6 kcal/mol. The combination of search algorithms MolDock optimizer and scoring function MolDock score is a valid protocol with a good result. The similarity of the binding sites of Borapetoside E and 6’-O-Lactoyl Borapetoside B is 75% when compared to the alogliptin binding sites (Glu 205, Glu 206, Tyr 547).

Conclusion: Based on the re-rank score and binding sites similarity, Borapetoside E and 6’-O-Lactoyl Borapetoside B have potential as an antidiabetic drug with a mechanism of action of DPP-IV inhibitors.
