Thrombotic complications post liver transplantation: Etiology and management
Authors: Srivastava Swati , Garg Iti
Published: October 2024

Liver transplantation (LT) is the life saving therapeutic option for patients with acute and chronic end stage liver disease. This is a routine procedure with excellent outcomes in terms of patient survival and quality of life post LT. Orthotopic LT (OLT) patients require a critical care as they are prone to variety of post-operative vascular, cardiovascular, biliary, pulmonary and abdominal complications. Thrombotic complications (both arterial and venous) are not uncommon post liver transplant surgery. Such vascular problems lead to increased morbidity and mortality in both donor and graft recipient. Although thromboprophylaxis is recommended in general surgery patients, no such standards exist for liver transplant patients. Drastic advancements of surgical and anesthetic procedures have improvised survival rates of patients post OLT. Despite these, haemostatic imbalance leading to thrombotic events post OLT cause significant graft loss and morbidity and even lead to patient’s death. Thus it is extremely important to understand pathophysiology of thrombosis in LT patients and shorten the timing of its diagnosis to avoid morbidity and mortality in both donor and graft recipient. Present review summarizes the current knowledge of vascular complications associated with LT to highlight their impact on short and long-term morbidity and mortality post LT. Also, present report discusses the lacunae existing in the literature regarding the risk factors leading to arterial and venous thrombosis in LT patients.

Authors: Каховська О. В.
Published: October 2024

У статті досліджується роль етичного лідерства в забезпеченні конкурентних переваг торговельних підприємств у сучасному бізнес-середовищі. Визначається, що етичне лідерство стає критично важливим фактором успіху, оскільки формує корпоративну культуру, засновану на чесності, довірі та відповідальності. Акцентовано на тому, що етичні принципи сприяють створенню довіри між керівництвом і працівниками, а також між компанією та її клієнтами. Огляд літератури свідчить про зростаючий інтерес до дослідження етичного лідерства і його впливу на корпоративну культуру, показуючи, що етичне лідерство сприяє створенню позитивної корпоративної культури, що підвищує залученість працівників та їхню лояльність. Метою дослідження є визначення впливу етичного лідерства на формування конкурентних переваг торговельних підприємств, а також підвищення ефективності організаційних процесів. Результати дослідження підтверджують, що етичне лідерство відіграє ключову роль у формуванні довіри, підвищує лояльність працівників та клієнтів, а також покращує загальну репутацію підприємства. Розкриті принципи етичного лідерства, формування моделі управління на основі яких дасть змогу торговельному підприємству досягти успіху в конкурентному середовищі. Запропонована формула успіху торговельного підприємства ілюструє взаємодію етичних принципів, інновацій, високої якості обслуговування та адаптивності до змін.

Closing the climate finance gap: How to raise the money the world needs to support climate action
Authors: Butler Creon
Published: October 2024

With climate impacts getting worse and temperature records being broken, the pressure on countries to raise more money in support of climate action continues to increase. But the ‘climate finance gap’ – the difference between the trillions of dollars needed and the amounts currently available – remains persistent, and is particularly acute in emerging markets and developing economies. Most of the new money needed will have to come from the private sector, but public funding also has a crucial role to play. Fiscal and political pressures in the advanced economies mean that public funds are in short supply. However, this only increases the importance of using the limited amount available in the most effective way possible. The prospect of reduced US political support for climate action in the wake of the 2024 presidential election makes this even more important. This paper explores the challenges of increasing climate finance to emerging markets and developing countries. It discusses the prospects for raising more public international finance in absolute terms, and proposes ideas for using the public money that is already available – or realistically likely to become available – more effectively. Key findings include: the need for regular comparative assessment of different channels for deploying public finance in climate action; the need to enable multilateral development banks genuinely to leverage risk-bearing private finance, and for public finance generally to be exposed to more risk; and the need to address moral hazard and other perverse incentives that still skew a large amount of private investment towards fossil fuels.

Економічна диверсифікація шляхом розвитку біоекономіки не тільки сприятиме стійкості економіки України, а й створить нові можливості для її післявоєнного відновлення. Найбільший потенціал біоекономіки України має біоенергетика, а саме відновлювані джерела енергії. В умовах воєнної агресії росії розвиток відновлюваних джерел енергії є одним із ключових факторів забезпечення енергетичної незалежності та енергетичної безпеки України. Тому аналіз ринку відновлюваної енергетики України в контексті змін фінансово-економічних процесів є актуальною науковою проблемою. У статті визначено середньострокові, ендогенні, виробничі, детерміновані, регульовані, прямі, кількісні ринкоутворюючі фактори ринку відновлюваної енергетики в Україні. Класичною формою кон'юнктури ринку є співвідношення попиту й пропозиції та динаміка цін. Однак використання цін на енергоносії як ринкового фактора на ринку відновлюваної енергетики в Україні під час повномасштабного вторгнення є неадекватним. Установлені ціни не є ринковими, їх контролює держава. Тому запропонований у роботі аналіз ринку включає наступні етапи: аналіз динаміки виробництва електроенергії в Україні, млрд кВт/год, що включає визначення тринадцяти статистичних показників та їх візуалізацію; визначення частки альтернативних джерел енергії в структурі виробництва електроенергії на 2017-2024 роки та побудова лінії тренду; аналіз сезонності на ринку відновлюваної енергетики; побудова лінійної багатовимірної регресійної моделі; аналіз співвідношення між виробництвом електроенергії в Україні, млрд кВт/год. З метою аналізу ринку статистичні дані за 2023-2024 роки прогнозуються за методом ковзної середньої через відсутність статистичних даних під час війни.

L’activisme femení en conflictes ambientals. Reflexions en clau feminista i apunts per a la gestió del medi
Authors: Agüera Cabo Mercè
Published: October 2024

Quins són els arguments que porten les dones a implicar-se en la lluita ciutadana relacionada amb conflictes ambientals locals? És rellevant l’experiència de gènere per interpretar el seu activisme? A partir de l’anàlisi de tres plataformes ciutadanes sorgides al nord-est de Catalunya arran de problemàtiques territorials de caràcter ambiental, l’article explora la rellevància del gènere en els motius de mobilització de les dones. La recerca, inspirada en la teoria ecofeminista, parteix de la hipòtesi que les experiències (individuals) de la feminitat (en tant que assignacions, normes i símbols col·lectius) intervenen en el moment de conformar la nostra percepció, vivència i valoració de l’entorn, i que, per tant, poden filtrar-se en els motius que animen l’activisme de les dones. S’hi conclou que aquelles plataformes ciutadanes que canalitzen argumentacions de tipus experiencial són més atractives per a les dones. Els seus interessos, definits a partir de la vivència de gènere, se centren en la salut, la qualitat de vida, l’herència ambiental i la degradació del paisatge. En l’organització en què domina una orientació ideològica, en canvi, les dones hi són menys nombroses que els homes, joves, i amb un alt nivell educatiu. Les seves opinions no segueixen les tendències observades en les altres dues organitzacions. En la darrera part de l’article, s’hi reflexiona sobre aquestes conclusions en relació amb dos temes complementaris. Primer, s’hi debat des del pensament feminista sobre la hipòtesi de «tenir cura» com a rol de la feminitat que permet interpretar l’activisme ambiental femení. Segon, s’hi planteja una discussió des de la perspectiva dels estudis de gènere sobre la crisi de legitimitat política que caracteritza els conflictes ambientals locals.
Cultural geography. Different encounters, encountering difference
Authors: Longhurst Robyn
Published: October 2024

In the first half of this paper it is argued that cultural geography is a dynamic and diverse field that extends well beyond a single branch of human geography. The boundaries between it and other sub-disciplines are often blurred. People have «different» encounters with cultural geography depending on their sub-disciplinary convergences. People also have different encounters with cultural geography depending on where they live and work. «Place matters» in the construction, production and representation of cultural geography. It takes different forms in different places. In the second half of the paper it is argued that as cultural geography continues to encounter «difference» in many guises, four possible future trends are likely: first, it is probable that there will be continued growth in cultural geography; second, there may be mounting recognition that cultural geography needs to be critical offering possibilities for radical critique and reflection; third, cultural geographers are likely to continue with their efforts to think about what, if anything, might lie beyond representation; and finally, cultural geographers are likely to deepen their reflections on the politics of knowledge production leading to more multi-language publishing practices in this area.
Acadèmia i igualtat de gènere: només un miratge?
Authors: Pujol Estragués Hermínia , Ortiz Guitart Anna
Published: October 2024

L’article fa un repàs dels treballs sobre les desigualtats d’accés, promoció i productivitat científica entre homes i dones dins la universitat, una de les institucions amb més pes social i, per tant, un referent i un reflex dels fenòmens que tenen lloc en molts d’altres àmbits de la nostra societat. Diferents disciplines, entre elles la geografia, han abordat aquest tema buscant explicacions i creant un cert debat al seu entorn. Factors sociodemogràfics, culturals i històrics perviuen malgrat les recents mesures a favor de la igualtat de gènere i l’equitat en el món acadèmic. El massiu accés de les dones, com a estudiants, a la universitat no ha estat seguit per un increment semblant en tant que docents o investigadores, i aquestes s’han trobat amb importants entrebancs per aconseguir la consolidació laboral, atès que, per ascendir, han hagut d’assumir models clarament masculins, amb importants costos diferencials respecte als homes.

Published: October 2024

Migrants and refugees’ influx into Europe has been steadily rising, and social indicators consistently show a decrease in economic and social protection towards vulnerable populations. Recent research shows that a sense of belonging is central towards integration in a new country. Unfamiliarity with culture contributes to isolating migrants and prevents participatory citizenship. Our objectives are to identify gaps in cultural competence and accessibility to culture in our country, understanding their cross-sectoral consequences – namely regarding the Brazilian community. Our study followed a qualitative methodology (online semi-structured questionnaires) for collecting and analysing data (content analysis) and was conducted in Porto, the second largest Portuguese city. Participants were 38 Brazilian immigrants, contacted through NGOS’s, social associations and institutions during the pandemic. Brazilian collective is a strong consumer of cultural events and resources, having a very strong perception regarding its value and role when it comes to their own paths of integration.
DEMOCRACY CRISIS, MODERATING POWER, COVID-19, AND ANTI-DEMOCRATIC ACTS: AN ANALYSIS OF DEMOCRATIC INSTABILITY IN BRAZIL FROM 2019 TO 2022

Published: October 2024

In the last 30 years, Western democracies have faced challenges that stem from globalization and are characterized by expanded access to information and different complex and interconnected transformations in communication employing social media. In the Brazilian context, key events delineate democratic erosion: the Executive Branch’s attempt to use the armed forces as a “Moderating Power,” especially concerning the Judiciary, using the interpretation of Article 142 of the Constitution; the federal government’s administration during the COVID-19 pandemic intensifying the political crisis, and the anti-democratic acts of January 2023. From 2019 to 2022, Brazil underwent an ambiguous political experience, providing an object of analysis for democratic erosion. The study places a significant focus on the Judiciary’s response to these issues, exploring whether it offered institutional answers in reaction to threats from the former Chief Executive and whether these responses upheld or breached the limits of the democratic rule of law. These questions aim to assess democratic maturity in Brazil, using judicial responses as indicators of institutional commitment to the 1988 Constitution.
A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE TRIPS AGREEMENT WAIVER: TAKING A HUMAN RIGHTS APPROACH
Authors: CAHUEÑAS HUGO , MANOTAS CAMILA
Published: October 2024

On October 2nd, 2020 the states of India and South Africa, as co-sponsors, presented to the Council for Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) a proposal for a waiver of Sections 1,4,5 and 7 of Part II and a draft decision text of the TRIPS Agreement for the prevention, containment and treatment of COVID-19. Co-sponsors claim that this TRIPS exemption is necessary to provide an efficient pandemic response and the rapid availability of COVID-19 pharmaceuticals across the globe. At first, the proposal was heavily criticized and characterized as being too broad, due to its reference to “health products and technologies” without any other referencing. After several discussions and feedback received, the aforementioned states submitted a reviewed draft decision on May 21st, 2021 for the consideration of the Council for TRIPS, this communication was circulated at the request of several delegations. (WTO, 2021). First of all, in the preambulatory clauses the co-sponsors recompiled all the events that have transpired during this health emergency. The proposed waiver, according to co-sponsors, has a restricted scope in terms of COVID-19 prevention, treatment, and containment. Finally, on June 2022 the 12th session of the Ministerial Conference adopted the Ministerial Decision which authorized the use of patents required of the production of COVID-19 without the permission of the right holder, among other things. This paper will detail the legal framework on IP rights at the WTO relevant to the pandemic. Then, the analysis will focus on the main points and proposals of the waiver. Finally, an analysis of the interplay between IP and human rights will be conducted to further understand their correlation and impact on the right and access to health.

Evaluation of the local factors affecting periodontal bone loss using cone-beam computed tomography
Authors: Sağlam Gülnur , Dağ AHMET
Published: October 2024

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the impact of local factors, such as fillings, caries, and crowns, on periodontal bone loss across different age groups using cone beam computed tomography images.
Methodology: A total of 200 CBCT images of individuals from diverse age groups (19 years and older) were examined in this study. The distance between the alveolar ridge (AR) and the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) was assessed. Measurements up to 2 mm were considered normal, while values surpassing this threshold were regarded as indicative of bone loss. Furthermore, a comparison was made between areas affected by local factors, such as fillings, crowns, and caries, and unaffected regions in terms of the extent of bone loss.
Results: The study findings revealed that the extent of bone loss was significantly lower in teeth without fillings on interproximal surfaces compared to those with fillings (p<0.05). Conversely, no significant relationship was observed between caries on mesial surfaces and bone loss. Additionally, the study found that teeth without caries on distal surfaces exhibited significantly lower bone loss compared to decayed teeth (p<0.05). A statistically significant difference was noted between crowned and uncrowned teeth in terms of mean bone loss values (p<0.05). Teeth without crowns demonstrated significantly lower mean bone loss compared to those with crowns.
Conclusion: Local factors, including dental restorations, caries, and crowns, have been shown to significantly impact periodontal health and to be associated with an increased susceptibility to periodontal destruction. It is essential to promptly address decayed teeth contributing to food entrapment and plaque retention, ensuring that restorations are properly placed within physiological boundaries to maintain optimal oral hygiene.

Las crisis y los procesos de conformación del Bloque Hegemónico Colombiano
Authors: Pardo Montenegro Liliana
Published: October 2024

La investigación de las crisis y los procesos de la conformación del bloque hegemónico colombiano durante el periodo 1930-1950 es un análisis sociohistórico de las crisis que provocaron el fin de “Regeneración Conservadora” (1886-1930) y dieron ascenso al Partido Liberal (1930-1946) hasta el regreso del conservadurismo (1946-1950). Estudiamos la forma política de convivencia de intereses del liberalismo económico y conservadurismo político que ha mantenido una confrontación política, socioeconómica e ideológico-cultural con terceras fuerzas en Colombia. En nuestro objeto de investigación operan las crisis político-económicas que dan lugar a los procesos político-jurídicos de la conformación del bloque hegemónico colombiano. La hipótesis que sostenemos es que la singularidad colombiana ha radicado en la existencia de unas clases dominantes sin vocación de ser clases dirigentes, que tienden hacia la solución de los conflictos por la vía del autoritarismo represivo del Estado capitalista colombiano.
Sistem Pakar Diagnosa Penyakit Pada Tanaman Padi (Oryza) Menggunakan Metode Naïve Bayes
Authors: Rizkyansyah M Daffa , Susilawati Indah
Published: October 2024

Rice (Oryza) is an important commodity, but in the process of cultivation, farmers still lack understanding about the diseases that attack rice plants. Therefore, an artificial intelligence-based expert system is implemented to identify diseases in rice plants according to the reasoning of an expert. In this research, the expert system method used is naive bayes to represent 18 symptoms and 5 diseases in rice plants. Naive Bayes is used because it can provide a statement that a symptom that appears in a condition is not interdependent between one another, so it can be used separately to assess the possibility of a condition based on the symptoms that appear. The application designed in this research is web-based and built based on PHP programming language and Codeigniter framework. This research aims to identify rice diseases that can be accessed by farmers by only accessing the rice plant expert system website using the internet so that they can carry out early control and increase the productivity of rice plants and increase the quantity of crops. The accuracy results obtained from this expert system amounted to 93.3% of the 30 sample data tested with 28 appropriate or valid data and 2 inappropriate data.  This level of accuracy can allow farmers to immediately identify rice plant diseases and take control measures.

Dentro dos óbitos de mulheres por câncer, verificou-se que, no Brasil, no ano de 2019, 2% ocorreram por câncer de mama. Avaliar os níveis de hemoglobina sérica antes e após radioterapia em pacientes idosas e adultas. Estudo prospectivo, descritivo e longitudinal com pacientes portadoras de câncer de mama inicial (T1-2 N0), após cirurgia conservadora e tratamento radioterápico adjuvante, com avaliação da hemoglobina sérica antes e após radioterapia, comparando esses níveis entre pacientes idosas e adultas. Foram avaliadas 30 pacientes, das quais 21 (70%) eram pardas/negras e 09 (30%) eram brancas. A idade média foi de 59,8 anos (41-77 / IC95% 56,2-63,4 / DP ± 9,6). A média dos níveis de hemoglobina pré-radioterapia foi de 13,0 g/dL (11,5-15,3 / IC95% 12,7-13,4 / DP ± 0,9). A média dos níveis de hemoglobina pós-radioterapia foi de 12,3 g/dL (10,5-14,4 / IC95% 11,9-12,7 / DP ± 1,0). A média de hemoglobina pré-radioterapia no grupo adulta foi de 13,7 g/dL (12,9-15,3 / IC95% 13,3-14,2 / DP ± 0,7) e a média de hemoglobina pós-radioterapia no grupo adulta foi de 13,0 g/dL (11,3 – 14,4 / IC95% 12,5 – 13,4 / DP ± 0,8). Já no grupo idosa, a média de hemoglobina pré-radioterapia foi de 12,3 g/dL (11,5-13,2 / IC95% 12,0-12,6 / DP ± 0,6) e a média de hemoglobina pós-radioterapia foi de 11,2 g/dL (10,4 – 13,1 / IC95% 10,8 – 11,6 / DP ± 0,8), sendo estatisticamente significante (p< 0,001). O baixo nível de hemoglobina foi identificado como um fator prognóstico significativo em vários tumores sólidos. Este estudo observou níveis de hemoglobina menores em pacientes idosas e com piora mais significativa pós-radioterapia. Pacientes idosas podem apresentar níveis plasmáticos de hemoglobina mais baixos e com piora após o tratamento radioterápico, o que pode impactar na qualidade de vida.
Ressonâncias de elementos de identificação da língua polonesa
Authors: Franchikoski Sandra Cristina , Gaelzer Vejane
Published: October 2024

O processo de construção de identidade abarca diversos elementos que não são dados e acabados, ou delimitados por espaços físicos, antes estão em constantes construções e deslizamentos. Dessa forma, as identidades sociais são construídas no e a partir do discurso, que não nascem com os sujeitos, mas acontecem na interação dos sujeitos em suas práticas discursivas. Este artigo objetiva refletir como as práticas políticas de Getúlio Vargas interferiram nas comunidades polonesas no que tange o processo de Ensino-aprendizagem da Língua Polonesa. Nesta perspectiva, na construção do imaginário de identidade, durante as décadas de 1930/1940, perpassam/ecoam controle e repressão nas vozes sociais e investigar essas vozes mobiliza uma série de questões políticas, posições ideológicas, exclusão social e objetos simbólicos. Para tanto, o referencial teórico pauta-se nos estudos de Pêcheux (1997) e de Bakhtin (2004) e o corpus de análise é composto de sequências discursivas retiradas do Decreto-Lei/1939 do Projeto de Nacionalização da Era Vargas e sequências discursivas de descendentes de imigrantes poloneses. Com base nessa análise, percebe-se que as relações dialógicas de vozes presentes nessa construção imaginária de identidade, instituem posições sócio axiológicas, determinam lugares sociais e ecoam vozes silenciadas e língua interditada.

Authors: Loja-Llano Ronal , Castillo-Ortega Yonimiler
Published: October 2024

Este artículo tiene como objetivo evaluar la equidad territorial en el cantón Loja, Ecuador, a través de un análisis cuantitativo, descriptivo y longitudinal, basado en 17 variables clave relacionadas con acceso a servicios básicos, condiciones de vivienda, educación e inclusión digital, comparando los datos censales de 2010 y 2022. La metodología incluyó una revisión documental de los Planes de Desarrollo y Ordenamiento Territorial (PDOT) y el uso de técnicas cuantitativas como el Índice de Gini para medir las desigualdades. Se desarrolló un Índice de Equidad Territorial mediante el Análisis de Componentes Principales (ACP), apoyado por la prueba de esfericidad de Bartlett y la prueba de Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) para garantizar la adecuación de los datos. Finalmente, se realizó una estratificación por quintiles, lo que permitió clasificar a las parroquias según su nivel de equidad territorial. Los resultados muestran mejoras significativas en las parroquias rurales, particularmente en el acceso a agua y electricidad, aunque persisten disparidades notables en servicios de alcantarillado y conectividad digital. La investigación también revela que las inversiones del PDOT han favorecido principalmente a las zonas urbanas, dejando a las áreas rurales con mayores rezagos. Las conclusiones subrayan la necesidad de una planificación territorial más equitativa y una mayor colaboración interinstitucional para abordar áreas como la educación y la vivienda en las zonas rurales.

Published: October 2024

Under the conditions of development of the reserves of the Verkhnekamskoye potassium-magnesium salt deposit, the study of the features and identification of the patterns of the development of the displacement process is based mainly on the data of instrumental observations along the profile lines of ground benchmarks. One of the most important components of the study of the process of displacement of the earth's surface from the influence of mining are the angular parameters, which in a generalized interpretation are complex indicators of the physical and mechanical properties of the entire shearing rock mass. In the issue of establishing and refining both the numerical values of the individual angular parameters of the displacement process, and the dependencies that determine them, criteria that allow determining the location of points characteristic of individual angles are of particular relevance. The issue of substantiating the values of the mentioned criteria is of high importance for the conditions of development of reserves at the deposit under consideration due to their insufficient knowledge and illumination. The article presents research results designated issue. The values of the criteria for the main angular parameters of the displacement process are justified and updated. The research results can be useful in justifying the values of the main angular parameters of the displacement process.

The applicability of transition coefficients in the calculation of uniaxial compressive strength according to normative methods for salt rocks has been evaluated. The discrepancy between calculated and empirical values of strength for sylvinite and rock salt is revealed, in connection with which the necessity of obtaining a conversion factor for this type of rocks is determined. The results of research of strength properties of salt rock samples with different ratio of linear dimensions of height to diameter and cross-sectional shape are presented, on the basis of which empirical dependences of uniaxial compression strength on shape coefficient for silvinite samples are established on the example of the reserves of the Palashersky area of the Upper Kama potash-magnesium salt deposit. The results obtained allow us to judge the need to introduce transition coefficients when recalculating uniaxial compressive strength for samples of different cross sections, and to recruit of more significant statistical sample in this study.

Context: Breast cancer ranks as the leading cause of mortality among women in Indonesia. Thiourea is a compound containing sulfur atom and nitrogen in which its chemical structure resembles urea compound, which has been applied as an anticancer, such as hydroxyurea, nitrosourea, 5-fluorouracil, and sorafenib. Aims: To develop anticancer candidates as a new compound of thiourea derivative, N-(phenylcarbamothioyl)-4-chloro-benzamide (4-Cl-PCTB). Methods: The compound was synthesized from phenylthiourea and 4-chloro-benzoyl chloride by applying nucleophilic acyl substitution reactivity. The compound resulting from synthesis was examined for its purity and structure identification by using FTIR, 1H-NMR,13C-NMR, and MS. In silico tests included molecular docking using Molexus software, molecular dynamics simulation using Desmond and MOE software, and pharmacokinetics prediction using SCFbio, pkCSM, and Swiss ADME. Anticancer activity through cytotoxic test was done using the MTT method in T47D cancer cells and Vero normal cells. Results: The 4-Cl-PCTB compound was obtained from the synthesis. The results of the molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation on the checkpoint kinase 1 receptor (2YWP) showed a plant score of -67.19 kcal/mol, which was better than the native ligand and the standard reference hydroxyurea. The molecular dynamics simulation results indicated that the 4-Cl-PCTB compound exhibited better bond stability compared to hydroxyurea. Pharmacokinetic predictions for 4-Cl-PCTB showed good GIT absorption, classifying it under BCS Class I, with a low volume of distribution, no BBB penetration, a half-life of 3 hours, and no hepatotoxicity. The results of the cytotoxic test: IC50 T47D cells = 0.44 mM, Vero cells = 76.10 mM, hydroxyurea = 4.58 mM. SI value = 173.35 (SI >10). Conclusions: 4-Cl-PCTB is possible to be an anticancer candidate drug better than hydroxyurea.
