Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh frekuensi pemberian pakan terhadap kesan organoleptikdaginbg itik afkir. Sebanyak 24 ekor itik tua menjelang afkir dipelihara dengan 3 macam frekuensi pemberian pakan yaitu 1 kali sehari (P1), 2 kali sehari (P2) dan 3 kali sehari (P3). Diambil sampel sebanyak 8 ekor itik untuk masing-masing perlakuan. Peubah yang diamati adalah kadar lemak dan kesan organoleptik yang meliputi warna, keempukan, juisi, flavor, serta nilai organoleptik keseluruhan daging. Kadar lemak kasar daging ditetapkan dengan metode soxlet, sedangkan kesan organoleptik ditetapkan dengan uji panelis. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis menggunakan analisis variasi rancangan acak lengkap (RAL) pola searah dan dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kadar lemak daging pada P2 lebih tinggi dibanding P1 dan P3 (P<0,05). Keempukan daging pada P2 lebih baik daripada PI dan P3 (P<0,01), demikian juga juisi daging pada P2 lebih baik daripada Pi dan P3 (P<0,05). Sementara itu flavor daging pada P2 lebih baik daripada P1 (P<0,05) tetapi berbeda tidak nyata dengan P3. Warna daging tidak dipengaruhi oleh perlakuan frekuensi pemberian pakan. Nilai organoleptik keseluruhan daging pada perlakuan P2 lebih baik daripada P1 dan P3 (P<0,05). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa kesan organoleptik daging dipengaruhi oleh frekuensi pemberian pakan, dimana kesan organoleptik yang paling baik adalah pada daging itik yang diberi pakan 2 kali sehari.
Capturing the student voice: creating more effective mechanisms for listening
Authors: Naylor Louise , Lay Jack , Mattinson Chris
Published: April 2018

Having completed a review of their student representation system and committees, Kent Union has worked in partnership with the University to launch its first Education Strategy (2016-2020). A key objective of this strategy was to create the Kent Union Education and Student Representation Board, to be held regularly to discuss University-wide academic issues. With input from student/staff liaison committees and its Education Forum for student representatives and also by deploying a new online platform (Digital Rep) for gathering student feedback, Kent Union aims to provide an annual report to its Board of Trustees as well as the University, on key issues relating to the student experience.To ensure that these mechanisms for capturing the student voice are heeded, the University has sought to align some of its own strategic priorities for education and the student experience with those of Kent Union and created more effective mechanisms for listening, by enhancing communication and feedback through its governance and operational structures to integrate better the University and Kent Union plans. In this case study, we have evaluated the initial impact of these changes on the ways in which the student voice informs educational enhancement from both student and staff perspectives.
Using Flipped Classroom to Place Sport Students Learning at Centre Stage: Insights and Food for Thought
Authors: Hayman Rick James
Published: April 2018

‘Flipped learning’ introduces learners to new material outside formal timetabled settings, requiring completion of pre-assigned activities before attendance at class-based sessions (Reddan, McNally and Chipperfield, 2016). This pedagogic approach supports students to learn independent of academic staff and take greater ownership of their studies (Roach, 2014). The past decade has witnessed rapid growth of flipped learning across diverse contexts and disciplines, with an emerging evidence base supporting the approach’s positive appeal in promoting student participation, attendance, engagement, achievement and deeper levels of learning (Seery, 2015). However, sports-specific research remains under-represented within the literature. In partnership with an academic staff member, this project placed students as collaborative partners, co-creators and co-constructors to explore expectations, experiences and reflections of flipped learning. On three separate occasions, eight final-year undergraduate sports students completed personalised audio blogs over the duration of a twelve-week talent identification and high-performance coaching module. Data revealed that timetabled sessions were transformed, from places where students were historically disengaged, attended intermittently and underachieved to situations characterised by dynamic engagement – with consequent improvements in attendance, interaction and achievement. This paper shares the implications for future curriculum reform, design and delivery, together with the re-tooling and professional development needs of academic and support staff.

This is a research article supported by a video. To read the article, please click on the pdf, to play the video, click on the link at the bottom of this page.Physics students today need to learn about being a scientist, not just about science. They need to be exposed to, consider, discuss and debate the complex social and professional issues that go along with being a working scientist in the twenty-ﬁrst century. The traditional physics training structure of lectures, laboratory sessions and problem-solving-focused workshops and/or tutorials does not allow this training to occur in any formal way. In this paper, we describe and analyse a new discussion-class format, based upon YouTube videos and similar in spirit to the tutorials so prevalent in the humanities. This format was extremely successful in stimulating a lively and thoughtful discussion between students on oft-neglected issues such as gender representation in physics and trust in experts. Students actively thought about these issues, articulated their viewpoints, considered the viewpoints of others and debated the issues.Here, we analyse transcriptions of the discussion groups and observations from the classes to explore the reasons for the success of this model and how it can be expanded to encourage physicists to explore and develop their own views on the range of social and professional challenges they are likely to experience as working physicists, including environmental concerns, the relationship between media and science and even the inﬂuence on science of Brexit. We use a novel multimedia format here to present the results of this research, including both a traditional written report which incorporates analysis of the discussion group sessions themselves and a video presentation.
The paradox of student engagement and policy-led measures of teaching excellence
Authors: Pickup Ian
Published: April 2018

The level of student engagement is often seen as an indicator of quality in discourses concerning the higher-education student experience.  This opinion piece explores the inherent tensions in promoting and facilitating student engagement within the evolving Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) landscape.  Many institutions expend energy - and in some cases significant resource - upon the development of student-engagement projects, whether through ‘partnership’, ‘change agent’ or ‘producer’ models.   But what happens when the level of student engagement is high, yet runs in direct opposition to the form of student engagement best suited to blunt measures of ‘quality’ within prevailing policy frameworks?    The TEF, with its reliance on National Student Survey (NSS) data, assumes that engaged students will comply with requirements to complete a survey without critiquing the principles on which the survey and its central link to the TEF-based judgement of teaching quality are founded. The present National Union of Students boycott of the NSS is provided as an example of student engagement that runs counter to the intentions of national policy and to some institutional necessities. In the face of such challenges, institutions could decide to eschew their commitment to student engagement. However, a strengthening of commitment to student engagement is called for, in keeping with constructivist approaches to teaching and learning and in valuing the worth of reflexive deliberations of all those involved – including those who express dissatisfaction.
Student and Lecturer Partnership: Using visual research to change and address a practice problem
Authors: Ridgway Vicky , Cooper Elizabeth , Parkes Elanor
Published: April 2018

This case study provides a narrative of a student and lecturer partnership during a research project. The project emerged owing to a practice problem: student nurses did not value placements in nursing home environments. The research set out to explore undergraduate student nurses’ perceptions of nursing-home placements, using an innovative research method - visual research methods (the use of drawings and photo elicitation). A third-year undergraduate student was recruited to work in partnership with two university lecturers as a co-researcher.  The paper outlines and reflects on the student’s journey as a novice researcher in designing, collecting and analysing data, then in formulating results and conclusions and, finally, in making a presentation at an international conference.  Lecturer narratives will reflect on the personal journey of working with a student as a partner, subsequent learning and the evaluation of the project. The paper concludes with recommendations for future practice.
Co-creation, contexts, and complexity: a case study concerning blended learning.
Authors: Burnapp Dave , Farmer Rob , Reese Sam Vivian Hansen , Stepniak Anthony
Published: April 2018

This case study reports on the value of engaging students as partners in research carried out concerning module redesign, specifically the development of blended learning activities for a first-year module in linguistics. It should be noted that the focus of this report is on the partnership approach to researching, not the material redesign itself. The approach taken involves recognising universities as complex systems and, as such, needing to be researched with the voices of all stakeholders incorporated. The study supplies an exploration of the reasons for choosing this partnership approach; it gives a description of how this partnership was maintained (relating both to ethical issues and to practicalities); it summarises suggested guidance and lessons learnt, to be shared with others to encourage them to consider such partnerships.

Authors: Mercer-Mapstone Lucy , Clarke Aimee
Published: April 2018

This case study describes a project that undertook the endeavour of coherently and systematically scaling up partnership practices at a large Australian research-intensive university. We describe an authentic partnership approach to designing a university-wide SaP program drawing on the collective innovation and creativity of over eighty students and staff working in partnership. We present, based on structured reflective narratives, critical factors for driving institutional partnership change in our context. This case study thus provides a useful example for other practitioners considering similar initiatives that aim to take an inclusive approach to scaling-up partnership processes in higher education.
Developing “Students as Learners and Teachers”: Lessons from Ten Years of Pedagogical Partnership that Strives to Foster Inclusive and Responsive Practice
Authors: Cook-Sather Alison
Published: April 2018

This case study reviews how the pedagogical partnership program ‘Students as Learners and Teachers’ evolved between 2007 and 2017. It draws on the author’s ten years of experience directing the program to describe the context, steps in development, components and assessment of the program as well as to summarise three lessons learnt: (1) continuing dialogue with, support of, and affirmation of student partners is essential; (2) reaching and supporting, rather than alienating, faculty can be a challenge; and (3) flexibility and evolution of the overall program are critical.
Partnership in teacher education: developing creative methods to deepen students’ reflections
Authors: Brown Nicole , Jafferani Aly , Pattharwala Vanessa
Published: April 2018

The rhetoric of teaching in higher education is now placing more emphasis than ever on the student voice and on providing students with opportunities to collaborate with staff and take responsibility for their learning. This article is an example of a collaborative project between academic staff and students within the community of practice of trainee teachers; it describes their collaborative development of creative methods to deepen students' reflections. A brief section on the background and context of the course is followed by a short introduction to reflections. The paper then outlines how student feedback and work with students led to the development of creative and playful activities to foster students’ theoretical understanding and practical application of reflections. Subsequently, the participants in this project - two students and a member of staff - outline the main outcomes as they experienced them; they highlight the lessons learnt and the implications of their experiences for future practice. The study concludes with authorial thoughts about the nature of student-staff collaborations in this specific educational context.
By Design. Engaging Graphic Design Students in Curriculum Development
Authors: Moys Jeanne-Louise , Collier Joy , Joyce Diane
Published: April 2018

To achieve this, we aimed to develop a new first-year module. As part of our continuing student collaboration process, we sought to take a partnership approach to the design of the module by inviting students to participate in a focus group to share their ideas about what a new module needed to cover and what forms of assessment they thought would be appropriate.  Their ideas were then either adopted and built into the new module from the outset or applied , as relevant to other modules within the curriculum.  The information shifted the emphasis and level of detail we built into the module planning.  It also provided helpful guidance to early career colleagues involved in developing learning resources and assessment tasks for the module.  The case study is being used to encourage colleagues across different disciplines to embed student engagement initiatives within the curriculum design process.
Setting up a ‘Special Relationship’: Students as Co-Creators of a Research-based Curriculum
Authors: Hallett Raphael , Tomlinson Charlotte , Procter Tim
Published: April 2018

The idea of student/staff partnership has become ubiquitous in the way universities market their institutional ethos and enshrines an idealised 'dialogic structure' within curriculum design. Which universitities are actually putting this into practice and allowing their students a significant role in the machinations of curriculum design and enhancement?This case study investigates the emerging co-operation between the University of Leeds Library, a team of Special Collections interns and the academic and student communities they reach out to. It suggests, in microcosm, a model for the co-creation of the curriculum which positions the student as co-creator, certainly, but also as mediator, tutor, mentor and communicator.The project case study adds insight into the fascinating hybrid identity that students can occupy within the contested territory of university-wide curriculum design, and explores the complex status and authority of students and tutors as they explore fresh relationships of opportunity and expertise.
Replacing Mud Pulse Telemetry with an Electromagnetic System
Authors: Lunney Iain , Thompson John , Wilkes John , Chong Matthew , Whyte Iain , Peytchev Peter , Mawuli Elike , Goel Pulkit , Burns John
Published: April 2018

In the budgeting of all major development projects, there is always a desire to capture the financial and operational opportunities of all new and existing technologies; however, this can be difficult if not proven to be viable in advance of the development campaign commencing. This leads to great difficulty in fully capturing potential savings in future financial planning. In a cost-sensitive market, a leading East Africa exploration and production operator recognized an opportunity to trial new technologies in the exploration and appraisal campaign phase in order to reduce well cost and risk, which could be directly translated to the development campaign feasibility model. A flat-time analysis was performed on historical data to benchmark the connection performance against relevant proxies. From this analysis, it was determined that there was room for improvement from both technology and existing practices. To improve the connection time on a technology basis, offset field resistivity data were modelled to determine the feasibility of the formations drilled to efficiently propagate a bi-directional electromagnetic signal. Once the modelled feasibility was deemed acceptable to deploy from a risk perspective, a systematic field-trial plan was developed to deliver proof of concept, which was followed by the second element, running the system to reduce connection time. After two successful proof-of-concept runs, the electromagnetic system facilitated a material reduction in connection time, which could then be applied to the development project economics. Whilst primarily focusing on technology-oriented connection improvements, there was also a systematic performance improvement from the human element on the rig floor owing to the performance initiative. The secondary benefit of successfully implementing the electromagnetic telemetry system was the increased data rate and the ability to transmit annular pressure data while the pumps were off, which provides valuable data to understand wellbore hydraulic behavior during pumps-off events. With conventional mud-pulse telemetry systems, the critical path is impeded to obtain these measurements, where annular pressure data is streamed to surface after the surface event (e.g., LOT / FIT, connection ballooning check, etc.). During these field trials, the downhole equipment complexity run in conjunction with the electromagnetic telemetry transitioned from basic gamma ray and pressure measurements to a quad-combo LWD string run in conjunction with a rotary steerable system.
Cluster Spacing Optimization for Horizontal-Well Fracturing in Shale Gas Reservoirs: Modeling and Field Application
Authors: Lin Ran , Ren Lan , Zhao Jinzhou
Published: April 2018

Multi-stage fracturing in horizontal well is the core technology for commercial exploitation of shale gas reservoir, in which the cluster spacing plays an important role to impact the fracturing performance—undersized cluster spacing might make the stimulated reservoir volume (SRV), activated by different hydraulic fractures, excessively overlap with each other, while oversized cluster spacing might leave unstimulated regions between neighboring hydraulic fractures; in either case the fracturing would be inefficient. However, most current cluster spacing design methods are imperfect without a reliable SRV estimation model. This paper established a numerical model to estimate the SRV by simulating four key processes during multi-stage fracturing—hydraulic fractures propagation, formation stress changing, reservoir pressure lifting, and natural fractures failure. Then, based on this SRV model, an optimization method for cluster spacing was proposed and applied in Fuling shale gas field in Southwest China. We analyzed the influence of geological conditions and fracturing parameters on the optimal cluster spacing, and drew the reference charts for cluster spacing design in Fuling gas field. This research developed an effective cluster spacing optimization method, reduced the uncertainty in cluster spacing design, and provided some new insights on the optimal design of multi-stage fracturing in horizontal shale gas well.
Real-Time Downhole Measurements During Coiled Tubing Campaign Brings Wells Back to Life
Authors: Keong Azwan , Sorensen Christoffer , Andaloussi Youssef
Published: April 2018

Coiled tubing (CT) was used on a field on the Norwegian continental shelf to intervene in four separate wells. The campaign objectives were to restore injectivity to two injector wells, prepare a well for plugging and abandonment (P&A), and bring a newly drilled well onto production. The use of CT was a prerequisite because previous wireline interventions had failed to reach target depths due to ingress of fill into the wellbore.

Three main challenges were faced during that campaign: demanding cleanout conditions, precision required on downhole weights, and critical perforations. The demanding cleanout conditions were due to the large completions and sensitive formations, which required accurate control of slighty underbalance conditions. The precise measurement of downhole weight and torque was required to effectively manage milling operations and accurately cut a hanger. Finally, the perforations required a depth accuracy within 0.5 m of the target depth, accuracy that was beyond the limits of what surface depth measurements can provide. Real-time downhole measurements quickly appeared as the common denominator to address all those challenges at once.

To address the demanding cleanout conditions, real-time measurements of downhole pressures allowed controlling the pumping conditions at depth, whilst still allowing high pumping rates. This enabled handling high pumping rates, so the cleanouts could be performed effectively. To obtain precise downhole weights during milling and cutting operations, the exact downhole weight on the bottomhole assembly (BHA) and torque was monitored, which, in turn, opened possibilities for adjusting and optimizing the mill and motor use during the operations. For critical perforations, a selective activation firing head was used along with the full array of pressure, temperature, and depth control modules, which allowed multiple guns to be positioned precisely on depth and separately fired in a single run.

The application of real-time downhole measurements resulted in objectives being met. Increased injectivity was achieved, while rig days were saved with the P&A preparations.
Wettability Estimation by Oil Adsorption Using Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation QCM-D
Authors: Erzuah Samuel , Fjelde Ingebret , Voke Omekeh Aruoture
Published: April 2018

The wetting properties of the reservoir rocks are governed by the tendency of the individual minerals constituting the reservoir rock to adsorb oil during crude oil/brine/rock (COBR) interactions. To explore the oil adhesion kinetics during COBR interactions, one approach is to assess the oil adhesion tendencies of the individual minerals. The aim of this presented study was to characterize the wettability by determining the oil adhesion tendencies of the minerals using Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation (QCM-D). The kinetics of the mass (Δmads) and the thickness (Δt) of the adsorbed film were modelled mathematically using the Sauerbrey relation with the QCM-D output as input. In addition, we present Surface Complexation modelling (SCM) evaluation of possible electrostatic linkages of the studied COBR system.

The kinetics of oil adsorption during COBR interactions were prominent during Formation Water (FW)/Stock Tank Oil (STO)/FW injection sequence with kaolinite sensor as compared to that of quartz. This was depicted by the relatively high change in the FW frequency signal (Δf) before and after the injection of STO with kaolinite sensor as compared to quartz. Negligible change in the frequency signal (Δf≈ 0) was observed during the various injection sequence with quartz sensor. This suggested that minor adsorption has taken place, thus confirming the hydrophilic nature of the quartz sensor. The mathematical modelling of the thickness (Δt) and the mass (Δmads) of the adsorbed film also reveals that kaolinite is more oil wet than quartz. This is portrayed by the relatively high magnitude of the adsorbed oil on kaolinite (Δt = 6nm - 14nm and Δm = 1600ng - 3500ng). The SCM results also confirm negligible (≈ 0.008) electrostatic pair linkage for the quartz sensor as compared to kaolinite (≈ 0.3). This shows that the tendency for oil to be adsorbed onto kaolinite sensors were relatively high as compared to quartz. The electrostatic pair linkages reveal that the dominant electrostatic pair linkage existing between the mineral- brine and the oil-brine interface was cation bridging by divalent cations such as Ca2+ and Mg2+. Hence, it was not surprising that the FW/STO/FW injection sequence for all the three (3) methods were relatively oil-wet as compared to similar sequence of optimum LSW composition. This was attributed to the abundance of Ca2+ and Mg2+ to bridge the two negatively charged surfaces in the former than in the latter.
Systematic Use of Tidal Effects for Reservoir Appraisal and Well Integrity Monitoring in a Near-Coast Onshore Environment
Authors: Hailstone Julien
Published: April 2018

Tidal effects in wells have been observed for millennia and have been analysed since the 1970s, following the introduction of high-resolution pressure gauges. Tidal effects are usually more obvious offshore and many papers focus on offshore wells with large tidal signals. This paper demonstrates that pressure changes caused by ocean tides are detectable in near-coast land wells and that, with careful analysis and processing, provide valuable additional information for reservoir characterisation.

This paper uses a set of observations from multiple near-coast land wells with extended pressure histories acquired as part of campaign of production and interference testing for reservoir characterisation purposes. These pressure records have variable tidal signal and data quality. A variety of methods have been published to smooth tidally influenced pressure data and extract or remove the tidal component. These different tidal filtering techniques are tested on real data, and a preferred data processing procedure is selected appropriate for the large quantity and variable quality of data in the study area. The methodology allows data from multiple wells to be quickly processed and consistently screened.

This paper gives examples of tidal behaviour in selected wells and compares the results across multiple wells in the study area to show how identification of subtle tidal effects is useful for:

Field appraisal of a saturated oil-rim with gas cap by examining differences in tidal amplitude in wells in different parts of the field. Estimation of critical gas saturation by comparing tidal amplitudes before and after an extended well test. Monitoring well integrity in a producing field by tidal analysis of annular pressures.

The paper also recommends a reservoir surveillance programme to obtain useful tidal data in onshore wells.

This paper will be useful to engineers attempting to find and interpret subtle tidal data, instead of simply removing it. It recommends a systematic approach for using tidal data in wells where tidal signals are small and/or gauge resolution is poor, based on experience with real data with variable data quality. It also provides a case study to show the value and practical application of a surveillance programme to identify tidal data in near-coast land wells.

Assessment of the potential contribution of alternative water supply systems in two contrasting locations: Lilongwe, Malawi and Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt
Authors: Jussah Osman , Orabi Mohamed O. M. , Sušnik Janez , Bichai Françoise , Zevenbergen Chris
Published: April 2018

Growing water demand poses a challenge for supply. Poor understanding of alternative sources can hamper plans for addressing water scarcity and supply resilience. The potential of three alternative supply systems in Lilongwe, Malawi and Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt are compared using a fast, data-light assessment approach. Lilongwe water supply is based on unsustainable use of source water, while Sharm depends primarily on desalination. Both locations experience shortages due to poor system performance and service inequity. Alternative supply systems are shown to potentially contribute to supply augmentation/diversification, improving service and system resilience. There are considerable seasonal variations to consider, especially regarding storage of water. Social preferences could limit the uptake/demand for alternative water. One important conclusion is the value in addressing public perceptions of alternative systems, and assessing water end use in order to site systems appropriately. Other issues surround financing, encouraging uptake and addressing institutional/governance aspects surrounding equitable distribution. A further consideration is whether demand reductions might yield shorter-term improvements in performance without the need to institute potentially expensive alternative water strategies. Reducing non-revenue water is a priority. Such measures should be undertaken with alternative supply enhancement to reduce inequity of supply, improve system performance and increase resilience to future changes.
Effect of boundary conditions on the performance of a dropshaft with an internal divider
Authors: Wei Jiafang , Ma Yiyi , Zhu David Z. , Zhang Jian
Published: April 2018

Dropshafts with an internal divider for air circulation are proposed to reduce air entrainment in plunging type dropshafts. Dropshafts typically operate under a pressurized downstream condition and with limited air supply from the top. In this study, experiments were conducted to investigate the performance of the dropshaft with an internal divider under different downstream conditions and air inlet conditions. From the experiments, a pressurized downstream condition would increase the air pressure in the dropshaft, reduce the outside air entrainment while increase the internal air circulation. Reducing the size of the air inlet would decrease the air pressure, meanwhile cause an increase in internal air circulation and a reduction in outside air entrainment. A dimensionless parameter of ‘effectiveness factor’ was also proposed to measure the effectiveness of the internal air circulation on reducing the outside air entrainment. This study considers the performance of the dropshaft with a divider under the conditions close to real situations, which is important to its design and application.
Melatonin and Oxidative Stress in the Diabetic State: Clinical Implications and Potential Therapeutic Applications
Authors: Espino Javier , Rodríguez Ana B. , Pariente José A.
Published: April 2018

All living organisms exhibit circadian rhythms, which govern the majority of biological functions, including metabolic processes. Misalignment of these circadian rhythms increases the risk of developing metabolic diseases. Thus, disruption of the circadian system has been proven to affect the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this context, the pineal indoleamine melatonin is a signaling molecule able to entrain circadian rhythms. There is mounting evidence that suggests a link between disturbances in melatonin production and impaired insulin, glucose, lipid metabolism, and antioxidant capacity. Besides, several genetic association studies have causally associated various single nucleotide polymorphysms (SNPs) of the human MT2 receptor with increased risk of developing T2DM. Taken together, these data suggest that endogenous as well as exogenous melatonin may influence diabetes and associated metabolic disturbances not only by regulating insulin secretion but also by providing protection against reactive oxygen species (ROS) since pancreatic β-cells are very susceptible to oxidative stress due to their low antioxidant capacity.
Polypharmacology in the Treatment of Chagas Disease
Authors: Aguilera Elena , Alvarez Guzmán , Cerecetto Hugo , González Mercedes
Published: April 2018

The current treatment of Chagas disease is based on monopharmacology where the
used drugs have limited efficacy and severe side effects. In order to overcome these
limitations, some tools have been described including the development or isolation of new
drugs, drug repositioning, and polypharmacology. Here, we review the polypharmacology
strategy where compounds belonging to different structural chemotypes were combined in
order to affect different biochemical pathways of T. cruzi parasite. Therefore ergosterol
biosynthesis inhibitors, anti-inflammatory agents, cardiac dysfunction drugs, trypanothione
reductase inhibitors, vitamins, between others, were combined looking for new anti-Chagas
treatment. Natural products were also used in the application of this strategy.
Translational Research: A Future Strategy for Managing Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck?
Authors: Caponigro F. , Ionna F. , Scarpati G. Della Vittoria , Longo F. , Addeo R. , Manzo R. , Muto P. , Pisconti S. , Leopaldi L. , Perri F.
Published: April 2018

Background:

Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck (SCCHN) are neoplasms arising from
the epithelium of the first aero-digestive tract. They are very heterogeneous both clinically and biologically.
Classic and well acknowledged risk factors are alcohol and tobacco consumption and other forms of smokeless
tobacco assumption, although lately the incidence of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)-related SCCHN is rapidly
increasing. HPV-related tumors are very different from their alcohol and tobacco-associated counterpart, as they
show strong chemo and radio sensitivity and thus can often be treated with conservative treatment strategies.
Moreover, peculiar biologic features characterize HPV-related tumors, such as wild type TP53, low expression
of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR), wild type CCND1 and high expression of P16. In contrast,
alcohol and tobacco related SCCHN show opposite features, together with higher number of chromosomal and
genetic abnormalities, conferring them chemo and radio resistance.

Methods:

We have performed a narrative review of the PubMed database with the aim to study the mutational
landscape of SCCHN.

Results:

Several lines of evidence support the existence of at least two genetically different types of SCCHN,
one virus-related and the other alcohol and/or tobacco-related, characterized by both clinical and biological
opposite features. Virus related SCCHN are very chemo and radiosensitive, so suitable for organ preserving
strategy, which in the near future may be induction chemotherapy followed by association of chemotherapy and
underpowered radiotherapy. Alcohol and tobacco related SCCHN are themselves strongly heterogeneous and
can be divided in different entities on the basis of the “Driver” genetic aberration, responsible for carcinogenesis.
The most frequently mutated genes in alcohol and tobacco-related SCCHN are TP53, NOTCH1, CCND1,
CDKN2A, EGFR and PI3KCA.

Conclusions:

Virus-related SCCHN can be managed with chemo-radiotherapy. Alcohol and tobacco-related
tumors should be further characterized on the basis of their “Driver Mutations” in order to select effective targeted
therapies.
