Synthesis, Characteristics and Application of Novel Non-Ionic Gemini Surfactants as Reverse Micellar Systems for Encapsulation of Some Aromatic α-Amino Acids in n-Hexane
Authors: Singh Nirmal , Sharma Lalit
Published: May 2020

Non-ionic carbohydrate based gemini surfactants with rigid aromatic spacer CH2-Ar-CH2, which carry two hydrophobic tails of different tail lengths (C12, C14 and C16) and two sugar moiety polar head groups were synthesized and their reverse micellar behavior for solubilization of some aromatic α-amino acids viz. histidine (His), phenylalanine (Phy), tyrosine (Tyr) and tryptophan (Trp) in n-hexane were studied by spectroscopic analysis. The head group of these gemini surfactants consists of sugar moiety connected to C-6 of tertiary amines. Amino acids form complexes in order of His > Phy > Tyr > Trp, and in all cases it was found that the D-enantiomers solubilize better in comparison to the L-enantiomers. Moreover, more hydrophobic surfactants i.-e. surfactants with longer hydrocarbon tails show greater complex formation tendency towards D- and L-enantiomers of aromatic α-amino acids.

Published: May 2020

Chitosan is an abundant and renewable natural biopolymer which exhibits a variety of beneficial properties. Quaternized chitosan compound was extensively studied as an antistatic agent in cosmetics and hair care products such as in hair conditioners and fabric softeners. However, the low solubility of chitosan in water limits its applications. This paper describes a novel way to synthesize quaternized derivatives which were further used as cationic amino sugar based surfactants. The quaternized derivatives of chitosan were synthesized and characterized on the basis of various properties. The resulting derivatives have excellent solubilities in aqueous solutions. In the present work the cationic quaternized surfactants were synthesized under microwave irradiation. Compared to a conventional synthesis the compound N,N,N-trimethyl chitosan (TMC) was obtained with higher yield from the reaction between chitosan and methyl iodide using N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent. We also synthesized it by adding dimethyl sulfate (DMS) under conventional as well as microwave irradiation method. The characterization of the quaternized derivatives of chitosan was done by FTIR spectra, 1H NMR, TLC and XRD analysis. Thus, a cationic amino sugar surfactant using a biopolymer was successfully synthesized under microwave irradiation with an efficient yield.

Published: May 2020

La enfermedad renal crónica es una patología con una alta incidencia y mortalidad en la población. El estrés oxidativo causa daños a nivel mitocondrial lo cual se traduce en mitofagia y progresión de la enfermedad. Los estados prooxidantes asociados a reacciones inflamatorias provocan apoptosis y remodelamiento fibroso tanto nivel renal como a nivel cardiaco. Existen varias vías moleculares involucradas en el aumento del estrés oxidativo las cuales al ser comprendidas han permitido descubrir biomarcadores para poder diagnosticar y dar seguimiento a la progresión de la enfermedad renal crónica. Actualmente estas vías siguen siendo investigadas con el fin de desarrollar nuevas terapias para los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica.

Published: May 2020

Introduction: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a rare malignant tumor that develops from the salivary
glands. Its treatment includes surgery associated or not with radiotherapy depending on the histological
grade. We report the case of a 38-year-old patient.
Methods: We report a case of a mucoepidermoid carcinoma of the palate, and we specify the clinical,
therapeutic and progressive characteristics of this attack.
Case Report: She is a 38-year-old woman with no significant medical history. The clinical examination
revealed a localized mass at the level of the hard palate, with a smooth normal-looking mucosa measuring
4 cm in long axis, the rest of the clinical examination was normal. Pathology examination confirmed the
diagnosis of low-grade CME. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed objectifying a lesion localized
at the level of the submucosa of the palate without bone extension either to the tongue or to the nasal cavity.
The treatment consisted in excision of the lesion with margin, with monthly monitoring for 6 months with
good progress.
Conclusion: The discovery of a CME in young patients is rare. This observation makes it possible to take
stock of the management of this type of cancer according to histological characteristics.

Published: May 2020

Large bone defects present a tremendous challenge to the treating surgeon. Tissue engineering using
scaffolds of various sizes and shapes that contain stem cells and other osteoinductive molecules offer a
potential solution to this difficult problem. The aim of this project was to evaluate if standard osteogenic
medium infused with either vitamin D3, vitamin K, or vitamin B12 influences the differentiation of adiposederived stem cells (ASC) into osteoblasts. Only the 100 nM vitamin D3 treatment had a positive influence
on ASC differentiation into osteoblasts. Moreover, we found higher levels (statistically significant) of
osteocalcin production in all vitamin groups compared with the standard osteogenic medium.

Published: May 2020

Introduction: Psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, hyperalgesia, and depression have been associated with
excessive alcohol drinking, but the neuronal mechanisms involved are only partially understood.
Alcoholism more often occurs in individuals with a family history, indicating that genes may play a critical
role. Chronic alcohol exposure alters calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) signaling
in the lateral habenula (LHb), and the LHb is implicated in mediating aversive behaviors, including those
related to alcohol. We compared the CaMKII signaling in the LHb and the aberrant behaviors in the
selectively bred alcohol-preferring (P) and alcohol-non-preferring (NP) lines of rats.
Materials and Methods: The responses to mechanical (Von Frey) and thermal (Hargreaves) nociception
tests, anxiety- (elevated plus maze, Marble burying) and depressive-like behaviors (forced swimming) were
examined in the alcohol-naïve P and NP rats, as well as in P rats after 4-8 weeks of alcohol consumption;
their LHb tissues were also collected for Western blot analysis of CaMKII expression.
Results: Compared to NP rats, the P rats had a higher sensitivity to mechanical stimuli, and displayed
depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors, as well as a higher level of CaMKII in the LHb. Alcohol
consumption alleviated all these behaviors, except for anxiety, and decreased CaMKII levels in the LHb of
P rats.
Conclusions: The results show that selective breeding for different oral alcohol preference has produced
differences in nociception, anxiety, and depression, as well as CaMKII expression in the LHb of P and NP
rats. P rats may deal with pain and depression by self-medicating with alcohol.

Authors: BULAKH Т. , PLAKHOTNIKOVA L. , TARASENKO А.
Published: May 2020

Libya is an important trade partner of Ukraine in North Africa. A priority objective for Ukraine in the cooperation with Libya is to diversify energy supplies, whereas Libya shows interest to imports of Ukrainian goods and science & technology services. Studies of performance and trends in foreign economic relations of Ukraine with Libya are, therefore, supposed to enhance the effectiveness of foreign economic policy decisions.
A statistical analysis for the period of 2008–2018 is made using time series on the foreign trade turnover of goods and services between Ukraine and Libya, bilateral trade in goods, bilateral trade in services, the structure of Ukrainian exports of goods to Libya (2018), and the structure of Ukrainian imports of goods from Libya (2018). The data on the structure of the Ukrainian export and import transactions with Libya show that the Ukrainian exports are dominated by agricultural goods, by far and large food products and crops in particular (more than 80% of the total exports), which can caused by nature conditions of the African continent. The remaining share of Ukrainian exports consists of processed raw materials, ferrous metals (nearly 15% of the total exports) and non-ferrous metals, products of oil refinery, chemical products, machinery and equipment, textiles, leather, footwear, foods and beverages etc. The trade balance is positive for Ukraine. Factors hampering the expansion of trade between the two countries are identified: lack of a basic strategy for foreign trade with Libya, lack of a clear strategic vision of the trade cooperation with Libya, heavy political and economic pressures by the Russian Federation, low quality of normative documents for support and promotion of foreign economic interests etc. Management solutions are proposed to improve formation and implementation of the strategy for the development of foreign economic relations between Ukraine and Libya.

Authors: MELNYCHUK N. , ZALYUBOVSKA S. , КОLUPAIEV YU.
Published: May 2020

In the current conditions of the economic development in Ukraine, an important place is occupied by the system of insurance relations. Although the insurance market in Ukraine is characterized by a low level of insurance culture, some insurers don’t fulfill their obligations, distrust of the population towards insurance companies, imperfection of state regulation mechanisms of the activity of these enterprises, low incomes of the population, etc.The research of the domestic insurance market shows that insurance itself provides the population with insurance protection against various insurance risks and is the most stable source of long-term investments. The existing insurance system in Ukraine is based mainly on principles that have demonstrated its inefficiency and do not meet the needs of the national economy. Urgency of this problem requires further study of the history of the insurance development as a whole, the identification of the development stages of insurance of the independent Ukraine and identification of a group of factors that influence the insurance market development.Growth of the entrepreneurial activity in the late nineteenth century and a stormy development of joint-stock companies were the beginning of agreements conclusion, definition of the rules of insurance, expansion of the reinsurance activity.Developmentoftheinsurancebusinesshasshownitsprofitability, therefore, in our country there is no significant decline in the number of insurance companies. In the competitive environment, insurance companies are increasingly expanding their range of insurance risks, seeking to increase their competitiveness. Insurance has a long history of formation, and research into historical aspects of the insurance development has begun with its evolution. Having analyzed literary sources, we have come to the conclusion that in Ukraine, the insurance development took place under the legal conditions that existed in the period of Kievan Rus and Tsarist Russia, and later in the USSR. Only the adoption of the Law on Insurance in 1996 made the domestic insurance market more developed and modern. Current state and four groups of factors that influence the insurance market development in Ukraine are analyzed. Prospects for the development of the insurance market in Ukraine are substantiated.

Published: May 2020

Steam is a world-class company for marketing applications and games. The imposition of VAT on steam has become an interesting thing because  there has not been a Permanent Establishment in Indonesia till now. The purpose of this study is to describe the VAT funding before and after the establishment of PE on Steam, the constraints of imposing VAT on Steam, and the steps that the Government can take regarding Steam. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. The results of this study prove that when Steam does not have PE in Indonesia, Steam consumers in Indonesia are required to make their VAT for the use of digital content provided by Steam. However, if BUT already exists for Steam, Steam will become a Taxable Entrepreneur (PKP), which is obliged to collect VAT on the delivery of intangible taxable goods or services provided. This certainly makes it difficult in terms of supervision because it is very difficult for the Directorate General of Taxes to supervise anyone, what is the Taxpayer Identification Number.
