Background: Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) techniques have lately become a popular treatment option for complete dentures fabrication. The two principal CAD-CAM techniques milling and 3D printing used in complete dentures construction have been approved and documented in showing clinically good results. Surface characteristics of dentures fabricated by these new techniques have a great effect on microbiological adherence to denture fitting surfaces. Aim: As other clinical trials and/or in-vitro studies evaluating the microbiological effect and its correlation with the surface roughness of the two advanced manufacturing techniques and comparing it with the conventional technique are lacking. Thus, this study aimed to further assess the microbiological and surface properties of different widely used denture base materials. Methodology: Thirty-six completely edentulous patients were selected and divided randomly into three groups Group I patients received conventional complete denture, Group II patients received CAD/CAM milled complete dentures and Group III patients received 3D printed complete dentures. All denture`s surface roughness were evaluated, also all patients were recalled after 3, 9 & 12 months respectively to evaluate the microbiological adherence. Results: Microbiological count significantly increased (P < 0.05) after 12 months in all groups, after 12 months there was a significant difference (P < 0.05) between three groups as group II (Milled) was significantly the lowest, then the group I (conventional), while group III (3D printed) was significantly the highest. Regarding surface roughness of group II (milled) was significantly the lowest, while group III (3D printed) was significantly the highest. Finally, there was a strong positive significant correlation between microbiological adherence and surface roughness in all groups as (r > 0.5). Conclusion: Group II (Milled) appeared to be the best regarding microbiological adherence and surface roughness followed by the group I (conventional) and finally group III (3D printed). Furthermore, it was evident that surface roughness has a great effect on microbiological adherence regardless of the fabrication technique utilized.

Background: Polluted indoor environments pose health challenges such as allergy, infections, and toxicity. Most indoor air pollution comes from hazardous non-biological and biological agents. Due to the nature of the indoor environment of libraries, it is prone to colonization by fungal species. Method: Three sampling sites were used for the study and they include Festus Aghagbo Nwako Library, Main campus Awka, Medical Library, Nnewi Campus and Library Complex, Agulu campus. A total of 100 air samples were analyzed Using the Zefon A6 Single-stage microbial air sampler and Malt Extract Agar supplemented with 0.05mg/ml of chloramphenicol while 16 nasal swabs were collected from the staff present using sterile swab sticks. The mould isolates were identified using the slide culture technique while the yeast isolates were subjected to candida chrom agar and integral yeast plus identification. Antifungal susceptibility was performed using the integral yeast plus system and the agar well diffusion technique. Results: Out of the 100 air samples, a total of 625 fungal isolates were identified of which C.lunata 201 (32.16%) was the most predominant, while P. marneffi, P. expansum, A. restrictus, A. infectoria and R. rubra 1(0.16%) occurred the least. All significant at (pâ‰¤0.01). A total of 7 fungal spores were isolated from the 16 nasal swabs and appeared thus in descending order of frequency: P. notatum, 3 (42.85%), A. niger, C. lunata, C. albicans and F. aqueductum, 1(14.3%). Antifungal Susceptibility of the 28 yeast isolates indicated that C. famata, C. laurentii and C. luteolus, were all susceptible to commonly used antifungals in the integral yeast plus system with a 100% susceptibility value, while the mould isolates showed relatively moderate susceptibility to selected antifungals. Conclusion: The organisms isolated are well known to be pathogenic especially to immunocompromised individuals. Their presence in the indoor environment of libraries serves as a risk factor to both the library staff and visitors. Adequate precautionary measures and occasional environmental surveillance need to be inculcated in order to reduce the number of fungi in the indoor environment of these libraries.

Introduction:Gerhard Kuntscher first introduced the technique of intramedullary nailing in 1940s . It is a clover leaf shaped hollow tubular nail for intramedullary fixation of long bones. This nailing system has been a technological breakthrough for femur fixation which can be both anterograde or retrograde. Case Report:A 34 year old Male patient resident of Shahapur brought by relatives to JJ hospital, with chief complaint of pain at left knee since 8 days. Patient had A/H/O RTA after fall from bike in 31/12/2012 with head injury with left shaft femur fracture. Patient was operated at JJH with left femur ILN. History of head injury operated in JJ hospital with no details known to patient. There was also history decreased vision in left eye since trauma. Discussion:Interlocking intramedullary nails are used as gold standard treatment in majority of tibial and femoral diaphyseal fractures. It can be removed in certain circumstances when it causes soft tissue irritation, prominent locking screws, implant failure, infection, nonunion, malunion etc. Conclusion:This study shows that in removal of stuck or bent femur interlocking nails in which all other closed techniques have failed, open longitudinal femoral osteotomy with retrograde hitting of the nail can effectively aid in successful removal of nail.

Sociopragmatics is about a condition on language used by speakers when they are involved in social interaction. Sociopragmatics also describe about a critic to evaluate speakers language. Therefore sociopragmatics become into sociopragmacritics to analyze some social actions, contexts, and social discourse in some literary works. In this study, internalization sociopragmacritics in language through literature is used to identify culture element, language use, social context, and social function. Internalization sociopragmacritics show about interaction language used by speakers when they discuss some events in their neighborhood. This research uses a literary work written by OkkyMadasari, namely DuaLelaki. Analyzing DuaLelaki is based on the main topic which is adapted from real event happening in Ambon, Indonesia, that is about interfaith between Moslem and Catholic. This research aims to describe the sociopragmacritics elements such as social language use and social context mentioned in DuaLelaki short stories. Research approach is qualitative. Data collection of this research is library and documentation. Research data is the short story of DuaLelaki itself, which was published on May 12th, 2013 in newspaper namely Media Indonesia. The data is based on words, phrases, and sentences used by two main characters, Amir and Lukas. Data research analyzes are using objective hermeneutic to analyze more details and linked into conceptual chart. Data research validation is using focus group discussion, lecture consult, and doing question-answer with colleagues. Research findings mention that social language use always relates with social context in the short story. The results of this research are showing social interaction, body language expression, assertive, environment, and character live in DuaLelaki short story.

Introduction: Parkinsons disease (PD) is the commonest age related motoric neurodegenerative disease. It results from the destruction of dopaminergic cell in the substantial nigra in the midbrain. In addition to the typical motor Parkinsonism symptoms, non -motor manifestations affect multiple organs including the lower urinary tract and contribute to worsening the overall quality of life. The objective of this study is to highlight the bother from lower urinary tract symptoms in patients with PD and determine the relationship between the lower urinary symptoms and severity of PD. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study in patients with clinically diagnosed PD that were managed by the Neurology Unit, Neurology Unit, Department of Medicine University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. They all filled the International Prostate Symptom Score and Quality of Life form. The severity of PD in each patient was assessed using Unified Parkinsons Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS). The data obtained was analyzed using SPSS Version 20. Results: There were 22 patients aged between 25-87years with a mean age of 59.36 Â±15.58years. Nocturia (90.90%), frequency (59.10%) and urgency (59.10%) were the commonest LUTS, while straining was the least frequent (22.70 %). Majority had mild (59.09%)and moderate (27.27%) symptoms. There was a strong association between total IPSSand QoL scores that was statistically significant (p<0.0001 r= +0.859). The degree of bother from LUTS, evaluated with the IPSS questionnaire was associated with worsening of PD symptoms assessed with UPDRS (p=0.012). There was a moderate positive correlation between the severity of PD and the degree of bother from LUTS in PD patients (r=+0.527) Conclusions: Irritative symptoms are very common in Parkinsons disease, with nocturia the commonest. There was a moderate positive correlation between the severity of PD and the degree of bother from LUTS. The IPSS questionnaire could be used in evaluating urinary dysfunction in PD patients in both genders.

The phrase intellectual impairment refers to a persons level of cognitive functioning. By specific children it occurs when a childs cognitive functioning is hampered to the extent that he or she is unable to receive information from his or her environment. After that, successfully absorbing, problem-solving, and adapting to the knowledge is required. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of children with intellectual disability and their education for conceptual knowledge, define cause, and classify. Intellectual disability is defined as significant deficits in intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour manifested as conceptual, social, and practical adaptive skills. An intellectual disability is characterized as having an IQ of less than 70 and having problems with adaptive behaviour or daily living abilities (eating, dressing, communicating, and participating in group activities). Intellectually disabled people learn slowly and have trouble grasping abstract concepts. So there is a dire need of appropriate teaching methodologies for effective Teaching-Learning of such students. The features of people with intellectual disability according to their education are also discussed in this study.

Assessment of the empirical methods for the development of the synthetic unit hydrograph: a case study of a semi-arid river basin
Authors: Shaikh Mohamedmaroof P. , Yadav Sanjaykumar M. , Manekar Vivek L.
Published: December 2021

This study aims to assess various empirical synthetic unit hydrograph (SUH) methods and find the best method. Ideally, each river should have a definite rain gauge station (RGS) to get sufficient rainfall data that is available for carrying out meaningful analysis. The provisions of Indian Standard (IS) 4987:1994 determined the optimum number of RGS. In the absence of RGS, the SUH is recommended. SUHs have been developed using various methods such as Snyder's, Taylor and Schwarz, Soil Conservation Service, Mitchell's and Central Water Commission (CWC). In the present study, the Rel River Basin (RRB) is considered as the study area which has two existing RGS. IS 4987:1994 suggested that four RGS are required for more reliable rainfall data. Various efficiency criteria such as Correlation Coefficient, Pearson Coefficient, Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency, Index of Agreement, Normalized Root Mean Square Error, Mean Absolute Error, Root Mean Square Error and Kling-Gupta Efficiency have been used to compare SUH methods. The ranking of SUH methods was reported based on the compound factor (CF) through efficiency criteria. The 1.125 CF was observed as the minimum for the CWC method and recommended for determining peak discharge and timing for the study area.

The effect of shock-loading on the performance of a full-scale down-flow hanging sponge (DHS), used to treat effluent from an up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket treating municipal sewage, was evaluated. This full-scale DHS reactor comprises a polyurethane sponge that retains the sludge. It has a capacity of 500 m3/day and, at the time of this study, had been operating at a sewage treatment plant in India for more than 1,300 days. The DHS reactor was exposed to shock loadings of organics at double the normal rate for 400 min under summer and winter conditions. The results showed that the DHS reactor maintained stable operation under the organic shock loading and that it returned to a steady state soon after restart, confirming that the reactor was resilient to organic shock loadings.

Published: December 2021

A gestão da informação científica é de suma importância às Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES), pois é neste ambiente que há múltiplas possibilidades de compartilhamento de ideias e desenvolvimento de novos conhecimentos, favorecendo a comunicação científica no âmbito acadêmico. O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar as ações desenvolvidas e os desafios vivenciados pelos membros do projeto de extensão intitulado “Repositório Institucional: Preservação da Memória Científica dos Docentes do Centro de Humanidades” da Universidade Federal do Ceará. O procedimento metodológico adotado se caracteriza por ser experimental. Ao decorrer dos cinco meses de funcionamento do projeto, observamos que a grande maioria dos docentes do Centro de Humanidades desconhece a resolução da instituição sobre o depósito da produção científica no repositório institucional, não possuem interatividade com o mesmo e, consequentemente, não arquivam as produções científicas. Em relação às experiências vivenciadas pelos membros do projeto verifica-se que as atividades fazem um elo entre a abordagem teórica de sala e a prática desenvolvida no projeto, permitindo uma reflexão da prática bibliotecária em relação ao gerenciamento de recursos digitais.

HABITAR DOMÉSTICO: Notas sobre a ambiência no habitar doméstico do acolhimento institucional para crianças e adolescentes em situação de vulnerabilidade social
Authors: Savi Aline Eyng , Dischinger Marta
Published: December 2021

Ao longo da história social brasileira, a criança e o adolescente foram assistidos com princípios baseados na vigilância e isolamento. A aprovação do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA) em 1990 e a lei n° 12.010 de 2009 modificaram o quadro, criando formas de atendimento como o acolhimento institucional. O modelo não isola e salvaguarda a saúde, educação e moradia; assiste ambos os sexos entre zero e dezoito anos, em processo ou não de adoção, com ou sem família direta ou estendida. Os internos permanecem com a tutela do Estado até que os motivos da institucionalização sejam sanados. O processo deveria ser transitório, mas leva meses ou anos. A legislação controla o atendimento, contudo é generalista quanto ao ambiente construído. As edificações são alugadas, adaptadas ao uso, sem considerar a ambiência do habitar doméstico. A presente pesquisa busca, através do aporte teórico utilizado na tese de Doutorado, caracterizar a ambiência do habitar doméstico e refletir como ela é compreendida na situação provisória do acolhimento institucional. Afinal, o ambiente construído influi na adaptação humana e uma arquitetura não adequada à capacidade do usuário pode tornar cada vez mais difícil a execução de tarefas simples, excluindo ao contrário de incluir. É indiscutível que a interação constante entre os espaços, pessoas e atividades garantem uma vida confortável e facilitada durante o período de institucionalização, permitem a inclusão segura e eficiente com o habitar doméstico, além de garantir a inclusão, tão almejada pela Legislação brasileira.

Published: December 2021

Em Juiz de Fora, cidade localizada na região da Zona da Mata mineira, assim como em muitas cidades brasileiras, os empreendimentos habitacionais produzidos pelo Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida (PMCMV) tem apresentado características que não correspondem à política estabelecida pelo Ministério das Cidades. Tal fato se dá, entre outras características, à implantações em terrenos longínquos, ausentes de infraestrutura urbana adequada e insuficientes no atendimento às necessidades arquitetônicas das famílias beneficiadas. Contribui para o agravamento dessa situação, a verificação da existência de diversos conflitos entre moradores residentes em um mesmo empreendimento habitacional, uma vez que, provenientes de diferentes regiões, apresentam grande diversidade cultural, ideológica e comportamental. Este artigo tem como objetivo lançar uma reflexão sobre o desafio ao tratamento desses diversos conflitos existentes e, muitas vezes, já consolidados nos empreendimentos voltados para a população de baixo poder aquisitivo. O Condomínio Vivendas Belo Vale é apresentado e, como resultado da aplicação do método Percurso Comentado, são indicados os trinta e três fatos observados na pesquisa de campo realizada durante a pesquisa de dissertação de mestrado da autora. Verifica-se que o Condomínio em estudo é fruto de uma produção padronizada e sem o conhecimento das necessidades dos futuros usuários, o que dificulta a possibilidade de integração e apropriação de seus espaços. Dessa forma, um dos grandes desafios a ser enfrentado pelas políticas públicas é a definição do tratamento a ser dado aos conflitos existentes nos empreendimentos habitacionais, os quais devem ser adaptados para cada localidade e situação; e também ser compreendidos pelos atores envolvidos.

LINKOGRAFIA VISUAL ESTENDIDA: ANÁLISES SOBRE A ELABORAÇÃO DE IDEIAS DURANTE O PROCESSO CRIATIVO EM ARQUITETURA
Authors: Mateus Rafael Peres , Florio Wilson
Published: December 2021

Com base no monitoramento de um processo de projeto, este artigo tem o objetivo de entender com se dá o desenvolvimento e a transformação de ideias durante a concepção arquitetônica. Durante décadas, pesquisas têm investigado os processos cognitivos responsáveis pela criação de hipóteses de projeto. No entanto, ainda se mostra pertinente compreender como as ações cognitivas atuam durante o processo, e também o papel que os meios de representação possuem na materialização de ideias e na aquisição de conhecimentos. A fim de auxiliar essa compreensão, este artigo elabora um procedimento metodológico para representar e analisar tanto a elaboração como o refinamento de ideias durante o processo criativo em Arquitetura. Com esse pressuposto, um arquiteto experiente foi monitorado durante a realização de um projeto no ano de 2014. Durante uma hora, todas as ações efetuadas pelo profissional foram registradas por meio de duas câmeras: uma direcionada para a mesa a fim de filmar a produção dos desenhos, e outra com o foco no arquiteto que monitorava as demais ações realizadas durante o processo. A partir desse monitoramento e apoiado em pesquisas referenciais na área de cognição em projeto, o artigo desenvolve a linkografia visual estendida, que se caracteriza como um método que representa a conexão entre as ações empreendidas pelo projetista durante a elaboração/aprofundamento da ideias. A contribuição deste artigo está no fato de apresentar um procedimento metodológico capaz de demonstrar com base em imagens extraídas das filmagens como ideias são desenvolvidas e representadas durante o processo criativo em Arquitetura.

Published: December 2021

A aviação, com surgimento em 1902, passa a atuar como meio de transporte civil após a Primeira Guerra Mundial, tendo se efetivado após a Segunda. O veloz deslocamento proporcionador pela aviação a configura como um essencial meio de transporte no atual contexto da globalização. Os aeroportos, surgidos como uma infraestrutura básica no processamento de passageiros e bagagens na década de 1920, têm evoluído continuamente. Tal equipamento, com singularidades e complexidades que o fazem edifícios únicos e inovadores, encontram-se em uma nova etapa de seu desenvolvimento. Se, antigamente, os aeroportos tratam-se de ambientes construídos em linguagem arquitetônica impessoal, imponente e extremamente vinculado à tecnologia, atualmente percebe-se o intuito de se estabelecer uma interação com o usuário, que não mais apenas se caracteriza pelo passageiro, buscando construir laços, vínculos, identidade. Se o aeroporto do século XX priorizava o caráter operacional, o do século XXI evidencia o comercial, inspirando na tendência ados shoppings centers. Este artigo propõe-se a refletir sobre os terminais de passageiros levando-se em considerações fatores associados à arquitetura. Tem como objetivos compreender a dinâmica evolução destes terminais, compreender como os terminais assumiram certas formas e características que apresentam nos dias atuais e identificar as especificidades dos terminais contemporâneos, que foram construídos, reformados, ampliado ou modernizados no século XXI. Como metodologia, utiliza-se pesquisa em referências bibliográficas, bem como verificações in loco em aeroportos internacionais no Brasil e no exterior, detalhando, mais especificamente, o Aeroporto Internacional Tancredo Neves (Confins, MG, Brasil) e o Aeroporto Internacional Ministro Pistarini (Buenos Aires, Argentina).

Published: December 2021

O foco deste artigo é discutir estratégias de ensino de modelagem física que estimulem a reflexão sobre a prática, a criatividade e, ao mesmo tempo, amparem o processo de concepção de projeto de edifícios. O objeto de estudo é o papel do modelo físico manual no contexto da prática projetual. O artigo relata uma experiência didática ocorrida no ano de 2014. Foram propostos dois exercícios com a intenção de conceber um edifício a partir de diferentes tipos de modelos físicos. Os resultados obtidos permitem afirmar que cada tipo de artefato produzido pelo estudante de arquitetura facilita a produção e a exploração de diferentes ideias durante o processo de concepção de projeto de edifício, e, particularmente, que a imersão na busca por soluções depende da motivação intrínseca e da suspensão de conclusões apressadas.

Elaborado para a disciplina de Estudos da forma, presente no 1º ano do curso de Arquitetura, este trabalho buscou investigar as questões relativas ao diálogo entre o edifício e o lugar. A fonte de inspiração conceitual para o tema foi a cidade de Veneza. A partir dai, os professores elaboraram o desenho urbano de uma ilha flutuante, onde pequenos lotes de perímetro quadrado formaram uma rica malha, buscando traduzir um pouco da dinâmica de uma cidade medieval (Veneza) e sua relação com a água. Para garantir a unidade do conjunto, foi determinado um gabarito volumétrico a ser seguido como premissa básica, bem como o trabalho com os materiais, que deveriam ser as madeiras (fechamentos e esquadrias) e o branco em sua neutralidade cromática, como tratamento das superfícies lisas. Cada aluno deveria ocupar um dos pequenos lotes com um estúdio para um escritor. O trabalho culminou na construção de uma grande maquete da ilha, agregando os trabalhos (estúdios) de todos os alunos.

Authors: Asgharian Parina , Tarhriz Vahideh , Hasanbeiglu Samira , Hosseini Kamran , Molavi Ommoleila
Published: December 2021

Background:

Eryngium is a genus flowering plant in the Umbelliferae family, having pharmacological
properties, such as anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic. Given the nature of melanoma and breast cancers in recent
years and the fact that the anti-cancer properties of Eryngium billardieri on mentioned cell lines have not been studied,
the present study was conducted to explore these properties.

Objective:

The mechanisms of cytotoxicity and apoptosis of aerial parts of various extracts and fractions of E.
billardieri on cancerous cells and normal cells were investigated.

Methods:

Samples were collected from natural habitats, dried and then extracted by Soxhlet apparatus with solvents of
n-Hex, DCM and methanol, respectively. The cytotoxic effects of the extracts were investigated by the MTT method
on MCF7, B16 and HFF-2 classes for 24 and 48 hours. Flow cytometry was also used to investigate the mechanism of
cytotoxicity, and it has been confirmed by Real-time PCR of p53 and Bax genes as to which comprise the apoptosis
regulatory proteins. Meanwhile, volatile compounds of extracts were identified by the GC-MS method.

Results:

The obtained data showed that the n-Hex extract of E. billardieri on B-16 and MCF7 cell lines and dichromethane
extract on MCF7 cell line had the most significant cytotoxic effect compared to DMSO control (p-value
<0.001). Our finding showed that the mechanism of n-Hex extract with 80% and 100% vlc fractions on B16 induced
apoptotis compared to HFF-2 control cells; moreover, n-Hex extract and 80% vlc fraction on MCF7 were apoptotic.
The major compounds of n-Hex, DCM, and 80% and 100% fractions of n-Hex extract obtained from GC-MS were
non-terpenoid.

Conclusion:

Non-terpenoid compounds of E. billardieri can be responsible for exhibiting the most cytotoxic effects on
MCF7 and B16 cell lines with apoptotic mechanism, and n-Hex extract was found to have the most significant inhibitory
effect on cancerous cells compared to the HFF-2 control cells by employing the mechanism of apoptosis.

Thiazoles, triazoles, and thiosemicarbazones function as efficient scaffolds in compounds for the treatment
of several illnesses, including cancers. In this review article, we have demonstrated various studies involving these
three pharmacophore classes (thiazoles, triazoles, and thiosemicarbazones) in medicinal chemistry over the last decade
(2011-2021) with a focus on MCF-7 adenocarcinoma breast cancer cells. Our objective is to facilitate drug discovery
of novel chemotherapeutic agents by detailing anti-proliferative compounds.
Case Report: Severe SARS-CoV-2 Infection Treated with Remdesivir in a
Patient with ESRD
Authors: Patel Raj H. , Pella Pablo M. , Haider Naeem , Blanco Renato
Published: December 2021

Background:

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has led to a global pandemic
since its emergence from Wuhan, China, in December of 2019. As research continues to evolve,
there is a paucity of reports describing the management and treatment of COVID-19 in patients with
acute kidney failure and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). These patients have increased susceptibility
to developing severe clinical symptoms from SARS-CoV-2 infection due to their underlying comorbidities.
Remdesivir has emerged as a promising antiviral drug against SARS-CoV-2. However, data
regarding the clinical benefits of remdesivir in patients with severe renal impairment is unavailable as
they have been excluded from clinical trials due to the risk of sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBECD)
accumulation in patients with eGFR<30 ml/min per 1.73m2.

Case Presentation:

We present the first case of a 47-year-old male with end-stage renal disease who
was successfully treated with remdesivir during hospitalization for acute respiratory distress syndrome
and respiratory failure arising from COVID-19. The worsening clinical progress of the patient despite
intensive care and treatment with intravenous azithromycin therapy led to the decision to utilize remdesivir
after a risk-benefit analysis, despite his eGFR being <15 ml/min per 1.73m2. Although the patient
developed reversible hepatotoxicity, marked improvement of symptoms was observed after the
five-day course of remdesivir was completed.

Conclusion:

Our findings describe the first instance of compassionate use of remdesivir for the treatment
of COVID-19 in the setting of end-stage renal disease, acute respiratory distress syndrome, and
hypoxemic respiratory failure.

Published: December 2021

Background:

Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) are the manifestation of the damage
caused by alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Children with fetal alcohol syndrome
(FAS), the extreme FASD manifestation, show both facial dysmorphology and mental retardation.
Alcohol consumed during gestational age prejudices brain development by reducing, among
others, the synthesis and release of neurotrophic factors and neuroinflammatory markers. Alcohol
drinking also induces oxidative stress.

Hypothesis/Objective:

The present study aimed to investigate the potential association between
neurotrophins, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress in 12 prepubertal male and female FASD
children diagnosed as FAS or partial FAS (pFAS).

Methods:

Accordingly, we analyzed, in the serum, the level of BDNF and NGF and the oxidative
stress, as free oxygen radicals test (FORT) and free oxygen radicals defense (FORD). Moreover,
serum levels of inflammatory mediators (IL-1α, IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, MCP-1, TGF-β, and TNF-
α) involved in neuroinflammatory and oxidative processes have been investigated.

Results:

We demonstrated low serum levels of NGF and BDNF in pre-pubertal FASD children
with respect to healthy controls. These changes were associated with higher serum presence of TNF-
α and IL-1α. Quite interestingly, an elevation in the FORD was also found despite normal FORT
levels. Moreover, we found a potentiation of IL-1α, IL-2, IL-10, and IL-1α1 in the analyzed female
compared to male children.

Conclusion:

The present investigation shows an imbalance in the peripheral neuroimmune pathways
that could be used in children as early biomarkers of the deficits observed in FASD.

This work covers a comprehensive mini review of the recent studies on the use of composites
consisting of conducting polymers coupled with photocatalysts. The selected photocatalysts were
TiO2 and ZnO and conducting polymers were polyaniline, polypyrrole and polythiophene. Based on
the reference studies, preparation and characterization methodologies were presented along with reaction
conditions. Assessment of photocatalytic performance of the composites was based on i. light intensity,
band gap energy and effective wavelength region, ii. surface area and initial adsorption, iii.
zeta potential and the pH of point of zero charges (pHzpc), with respect to selected substrate physicochemical
properties. Conclusive remarks covered recommendations for future studies to fulfill the
misconceptions.
