Editorial and Reflections on the Conference for SAJAT: Objectives of the Training Art Therapists for Social Justice Conference
Authors: Kim Berman
Published: July 2024

One of the key aspects of arts for social justice is the central recognition of its collaborative nature that foregrounds interconnectedness and empathy. The forum of a conference in the early stages of the development of the Art Therapy qualification at the University of Johannesburg enabled both evaluation and reflection by situating student participants as dynamic partners. We engaged the first cohort of Art therapy Masters students to collaborate in designing the conference and website for the field to share and exchange their practice with leaders in global change initiatives. The conference theme focused on training and practice of art therapy in social justice in the Global South and the key note address by Dr Lireko Qhobela  cautions us to be intentional about attending to the historical wounds.  Panel presentations included Art therapy in the Global South: Now and next (Moon et al), Research as Storytelling (Potash and Kapitan), Using the arts to work with refugees and displaced persons in times of crisis and war  (Speizers et al) as well Art therapy and social activism in community-based projects (Myburgh et al). A social  dreaming workshop was a practical visualisation that included approximately 70 participants entitled Deep diving towards a vison for social justice: a visual dream matrix, (H Berman and N Pule). The Art Therapy Masters students published their research projects in the newly established Journal of Arts Therapies (SAJAT) which was launched as highlight to conclude the conference. They participated in critical evaluation through the peer review process and were encouraged to invite and engage with a range of leaders in the field. The students were asked to critically reflect on how they understood their own agency in the field of transformative art therapy practice and social justice using group and individual art practice and writing. Their comments and experiences can be integrated and shared with future cohorts in enriching the field as situated and textured to a local context.

A úlcera péptica apresenta uma etiologia multifatorial, estando relacionada a fatores de risco, principalmente, como uso de anti inflamatórios não esteroidais e a presença da bactéria  Helicobacter pylori. A perfuração da úlcera péptica é uma complicação comum, podendo estar presente de 2 a 14% dos casos. A úlcera péptica perfurada (UPP) é uma emergência médica, sendo importante a intervenção cirúrgica. O objetivo do trabalho é analisar a importância do tratamento cirúrgico da úlcera péptica perfurada. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa, dos últimos  3 anos usando a base de dados: MEDLINE com os descritores utilizados foram: “ulcera” “peptica” “tratamento” “cirurgia”. Evidenciou-se que o atraso na realização do tratamento cirúrgico nas UPP aumenta a chances de complicações, incluindo a mortalidade. Os tratamentos cirúrgicos mais realizados são a laparotomia e laparoscopia. A escolha do procedimento cirúrgico depende das comorbidades e estabilidade hemodinâmica do paciente, além da  localização da lesão e experiência do cirurgião. Independente da escolha do processo cirúrgico a ser utilizado, sabe-se que o tratamento cirúrgico, o mais cedo possível, é importante para diminuir a morbimortalidade do paciente. Nessa perspectiva, nota-se a importância do tratamento cirúrgico para melhorar o prognóstico do paciente.

Introduction: Skin grafts over time have progressed to present multiple well-established reconstructive techniques that are remarkably capable of restoring structure, function, and aesthetics to a myriad of surgical wounds. Muscle and myocutaneous flaps are common reconstructive alternatives for individuals with acquired oncologic or traumatic defects. Knowledge of flap anatomy and surgical techniques is paramount for surgeons who practice them to achieve the best results.
Objective: to detail current information related to grafts and flaps; definition, description, classification, characteristics, indications and techniques.
Methodology: a total of 33 articles were analyzed in this review, including review and original articles, as well as clinical cases, of which 20 bibliographies were used because the other articles were not relevant to this study. The sources of information were PubMed, Google Scholar and Cochrane; the terms used to search for information in Spanish, Portuguese and English were: flaps, grafts, skin, wounds, surgical reconstruction, skin transfers.
Results: skin grafting is a basic technique and a widely used reconstruction option in surgery, following tumor resection, ulcers, as well as in burned individuals. Graft retraction is inversely proportional to graft thickness. The graft should globally correspond to the loss of substance to be covered. When planning myocutaneous flaps, knowing the vascular territories of each source artery, or angiosome, allows proper design of the skin island. Unlike fasciocutaneous flaps, muscle and myocutaneous flaps tolerate ischemia poorly, and any concerns about flap ischemia necessitate a timely return to the operating room for exploration.
Conclusions: Recognizing when, where and how to perform a graft or flap is of vital importance for the correct management of the affected individual. The surgical fundamentals and associated factors must be well known to achieve the best performance and achieve the best results in patients. Both grafts and flaps have their indications that must be adapted to the patient in question. It is necessary to emphasize that it is necessary to differentiate perfectly between the graft and the flap, analyzing their peculiarities, different uses and possible complications. Grafts are devoid of any vascular connection, while flaps depend on the vascularization of the recipient wound bed to survive.
KEY WORDS: flaps, grafts, skin, wounds, reconstruction, transfers, surgery.
STUDY OF VOLATILE COMPONENTS COMPOSITION OF NON-ALCOHOLIC WINES OBTAINED BY VACUUM DISTILLATION METHOD
Authors: Antonenko Ol'ga , Sheludko Olga , Antonenko Mihail , Reznichenko Kristina
Published: July 2024

According to Roskachestvo, the range of non-alcoholic wines in stores has doubled over the past 3 years, which is a response to demand from consumers who care about their health. The purpose of research is to study the volatile components and organoleptic characteristics of non-alcoholic wines produced by vacuum distillation of white, rose and red wine materials from the 2022 harvest. The temperature range for vacuum distillation of the original white, rose, and red wine materials was 26–30 °C. The qualitative composition of the volatile components of non-alcoholic wines was similar to the qualitative composition of the original wine materials. The loss of volatile compounds in wines after dealcoholization was 58 % for white wine, 85 and 82 % for rose and red non-alcoholic wines, respectively. A significant decrease in the mass concentration of volatile acids, higher alcohols, esters and acetaldehyde of non-alcoholic wines as a result of dealcoholization was revealed. It was established that all samples of the original wine materials had high sensory characteristics. Non-alcoholic wines had a more saturated color in comparison with the original wine materials, a wine-like aroma with a slight yeasty tint, and a simple taste with excessive freshness. It is noted that in order to obtain non-alcoholic wines with a more balanced taste, it is necessary to conduct further research to develop ways to improve the quality indicators of non-alcoholic wines, as well as regulatory documents regulating the requirements for raw materials, auxiliary materials, finished products and labeling in the production of non-alcoholic wines.

Published: July 2024

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the possibility of using the native microbiota of rapeseed cake as a source of new producers of lipolytic enzymes. Objectives: fermentation of rapeseed cake in the pre-sence of native microbiota; isolation of microorganism isolates; determination of their lipolytic activity. Fermentation of rapeseed cake was carried out at a hydromodulus of 1:9. The resulting suspension was kept in a shaker-incubator, then diluted 100, 1000 and 10000 times in sterile distilled water. From the resulting suspensions, consortia of microorganisms of the native microbiota of rapeseed cake were isolated; 16 isolates of microorganisms were obtained based on the morphology of the colonies. Lipolytic (twinase) activity was determined by the rapid indication method on media of various compositions. During the experiment, a solid nutrient medium was prepared with the following composition, g/l: bacterial peptone – 10; NaCl – 5; CaCl2 – 0.1; agar – 20. The medium was sterilized in an autoclave. Separately, 20 % solutions of Tween-20, -40, -60 and -80 were prepared and sterilized, after which they were mixed with an agar nutr¬ient medium under aseptic conditions and poured into sterile Petri dishes. Crops were sown on media with Tween by injection. Petri dishes with medium without inoculum were taken as a control. It was found that 10 out of 16 isolates exhibit lipolytic activity. The largest diameter of the precipitation zone was observed for group 8 and amounted to (23.2 ± 0.6) mm when incubated in a medium with TW40. The smallest dia¬meter was obtained for group 5 on a medium with TW20 (3.8 ± 0.5) mm. Further work is aimed at identi¬fying microorganisms in order to optimize the process of their cultivation and expand the range of industrial applications.
The association between hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and postpartum depression in Ghana.Kwaku Mari
Authors:   , Addo Kwaku Mari
Published: July 2024

This research explores the intricate association between hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) and postpartum depression (PPD) through a multidimensional approach. A systematic review and meta-analysis synthesize evidence, revealing a robust link between HDP and heightened risks of depressive symptoms postpartum. Notably, severe variants of HDP exhibit the highest likelihood of subsequent PPD. Complementing this quantitative synthesis, qualitative interviews with healthcare professionals in Ghana shed light on the experiences and challenges within the local healthcare system. Our study spans diverse ranks of healthcare practitioners with experience in several regions in Ghana, ensuring comprehensive insights. The prevalence estimates from doctors and midwives underscore the extensive reach of HDP, with rates varying based on geographical and cultural factors. Co-occurrence rates of PPD among HDP patients, estimated at 2-50%, emphasize the vulnerability of this population. Conversely, most unaffected women exhibit lower rates of postpartum depression, highlighting the specific challenges faced by those with HDP. The research reveals a complex interplay of physiological and psychological factors contributing to the association between HDP and PPD. Stressors related to labour, financial strain, and lack of awareness emerge as common threads, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to maternal healthcare. The absence of standardized screening tools and variations in clinical judgment practices underscore potential areas for improvement. Findings indicate a substantial need for continuous monitoring, heightened awareness, and comprehensive support during the perinatal period. Recommendations include standardizing definitions and screening practices, building healthcare capacity, designing targeted interventions, implementing patient education programs, and conducting further research to elucidate mediators between HDP and PPD

Authors: AKAT Ozan
Published: July 2024

Tomato ranks first among tradable agricultural products in terms of production-consumption amounts in the world. Tomato is one of the most important vegetables in the world and in our country due to its importance in human nutrition and its wide range of uses in the food industry such as frozen, canned, tomato paste, ketchup, tomato pickle, tomato juice. Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is the main pest in tomatoes. In 2022, a study was carried out on 3 tomato varieties (Alaturka F1, Falcon, Eastern H-2274) and Lice tomato and Karacadağ tomato genotypes specific to the region in order to determine the damage rate of different tomato varieties cultivated in open field in Diyarbakır province. The fruits and leaves of at least 20 random plants of each tomato variety and genotype were checked and the damage rate was determined. In the fruits of tomato varieties that are commercially grown in Diyarbakır Province; The damage rate was 29.09% in Falcon variety, 32.55% in H-2274 variety and 27.14% in Alaturka F1 variety. Among genotypes; It was 37.83% in Lice tomatoes and 33.33% in Karacadağ tomatoes. In the leaves of tomato varieties that are commercially grown in Diyarbakır Province; The damage rate was 49.26% in Falcon variety, 58.68% in H2274 variety and 45.45% in Alaturka F1 variety. Among genotypes; It was 47,52% in Lice tomatoes and 54.06% in Karacadağ tomatoes. It is known that the rate of damage varies depending on many factors. The damage rate data obtaıned at the end of our study were also compared wıth the characterıstıc features of the varıetıes and genotypes. The hardness of the flesh of Alaturka F1 variety was the hardest and Falcon, H-2274, Karacadağ and Lice were ranked respectively. It was determined that the flesh thickness of the fruits of Lice genotype was softer than the fruits of other varieties and genotypes. For this reason, it is thought that the damage to the fruits of Lice genotype is higher. According to the findings, hairiness was the highest in Lice genotype, followed by Karacadağ, Falcon, H-2274, Alaturka F1. In this context, when the leaf damage rate and hairiness structure were evaluated, it was determined that Lice genotype was the most resistant species after Alaturka F1 variety. The fact that Alaturka F1 variety is more resistant than Lice genotype can be explained by the fact that this variety is a hybrid variety.

Authors: ATAKAN Ekrem
Published: July 2024

This study was carried out to determine the efficacy of yellow-colored traps with different heights on capturing of predatory insect species in cotton field in Adana Province, Türkiye during 2010-2011. Traps were placed at vertically positions of 60, 80, 100, and 120 cm heights. Plant phenology was classified as vegetative, boll forming, and boll maturation. Traps were kept in the cotton field for one day and then, replaced with new ones. Nine predatory insect species were identified on the traps. Most numbers of Orius niger Wolff (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) were captured, accounting for 77.62% of the total adults. This species was followed by the Deraeocoris pallens Reut. (Hemiptera: Miridae) constituting 11.03% of total adults on yellow-colored traps. Numbers of D. pallens captured were significantly higher on traps placed at 60 cm height than numbers captured on other trap heights when plant phenology was at the vegetative, and fruit forming stages. While Orius numbers were similar on traps with 60, 80, and 100 cm heights but significantly greater than that number found at 120 cm height (P<0.05). Numbers of the predatory thrips Aeolothrips collaris Priesner (Thysanoptera: Aeolothripidae) were similar on all trap heights when plants were at vegetative stage. Less numbers of beneficial insects were captured as the trap level exceed the upper level of plants. With respect to the results obtained, this study suggests that 60 cm or less trap heights at the early stage of plants and 60 or 80 cm trap height as plant phenology developed (June-August period) may be deployed to estimate more accurately beneficial insect population densities in cotton.

Published: July 2024

In this study, the nematicidal effects of four essential oils, Rosmarinus officinalis L. (Rosemary), Thymus vulgaris L. (Thyme), Sesamum indicum (Sesame), Lavandula spp. (Lavender), on Meloidogyne chitwoodi Golden et al., 1980 (Tylenchida: Meloidogynidae) were investigated by petri experiments. In the study, 125 ppm, 250 ppm, 500 ppm, 10000 ppm, 20000 ppm, 30000 ppm concentrations of essential oil were used to prevent egg hatching and to evaluate the lethal effect on second stage juveniles. The results showed that each essential oil inhibited hatching at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 7 days at varying levels. Sesame and lavender oils also had the highest rate of preventing egg hatching. Lavender, thyme, and rosemary oils exhibited higher juvenile mortality than sesame in all concentrations. More than 92.2% mortality of M. chitwoodi juveniles occurred after a 24 hour exposure to a 10000 ppm oil solution of lavender, thyme, rosemary. All exposure times and concentrations resulted in a 100% mortality rate of M. chitwoodi in thyme. The most effective result within 24 hours was observed in thyme oil. The results suggest that it should be set up pot experiments for in vitro results.

The Development of Green Houses In The Southern Türkiye, with an Emphasis on Their Structural and Agricultural Features : The case of the Mersin province
Authors: KAPUR Burçak
Published: July 2024

The aim of this research was to evaluate the agricultural and structural condition of the greenhouses in the Mersin region of Akdeniz district as well as the structural and technical issues. A face-to-face survey conducted in the field to determine the agricultural information in greenhouse enterprises as well as the material information used in greenhouses in the research region. The products, greenhouse types and construction techniques were determined by the survey, measurement, observation and photography studies conducted in the region. Because of the region's climate and economic value of the crop, 95.2% of the producers who took part in the survey cultivate pepper. It was determined that all greenhouses in the region were plastic-covered greenhouses. Greenhouse materials are made of steel profile or steel pipe. Most of the greenhouses were found to be without projects and installed by local manufacturing craftsmen. Furthermore, it has been determined that the region's greenhouses have problems with heating, ventilation, and irrigation system design. It has been suggested that a crop-requirement-driven irrigation schedule in greenhouses can boost output while making cost-effective use of water resources. Additionally, the importance of mechanical ventilation and roof ventilation should be explained to producers. In order to ensure proper ventilation, the design should allocate a minimum of 15% of the floor surface in greenhouses up to three decares, and a minimum of 25% of the floor area in greenhouses larger than three decares.
Potential application of pomegranate and lemon peel phenolic extract with chitosan as edible coating on apple and kiwifruit slices: Physical, chemical and sensory characteristics
Authors: Kutlu Gözde
Published: July 2024

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of different coatings, specifically chitosan and chitosan combined with pomegranate and lemon extract, compared to noncoated samples, on the quality of apple and kiwifruit slices during 21-day storage at 8°C. Results showed that during storage, the dry matter content of apple and kiwifruit slices increased with chitosan-coating or a combination of phenolic extracts and chitosan, compared to the control samples. Chitosan alone slightly increased apple slices' pH, while the use of phenolic extracts decreased pH, indicating chitosan coating's pH control. pH values fluctuated during the 21-day storage, with coated-kiwifruit slices reaching lowest levels on days 14 and 21. Weight loss occurred in uncoated-fruits, while coated fruits gained weight. L*values decreased in all kiwifruit samples during storage, except control and chitosan+phenolic-coated apples, which increased. a*values increased in chitosan-coated apples, control and chitosan+phenolic extract-coated kiwifruit samples after storage, while others showed a decrease. All samples showed decreased b*values after 21-days of storage. No visual mold formation was observed in any sample. Sensory attributes slightly decreased with increased storage duration. Overall, the combination of chitosan and phenolic extract can effectively extend the shelf life and preserve quality parameters of apple and kiwifruit slices.

The search for sustainability in integrated production systems is a constant challenge, especially when it comes to balancing the levels of shading provided by trees in agroforestry systems. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of three shading levels (0, 30 and 60%) casted by native Babaçú trees (Attalea speciosa, Mart) on the agronomic and structural characteristics of Mombaça grass in the ecotone Cerrado-Amazon. A total area of 3 ha was stratified into 36 subdivisions measuring 270 m² each, in order to collect agronomic samples from the three shading levels, totaling 108 experimental units, where the structural and agronomic characteristics of Mombaça grass were assessed. Increased shading leads to reduction in tiller population density, forage volumetric density, leaf area index and yield and proportion of morphological components of Mombaça grass, reducing forage yield. The 65% and 78% reduction in tiller population in areas with 30 and 60% shading, respectively, in comparison to full sun light exposure, was the main factor in the reduced productivity of the grasses managed in the agropastoral system. Therefore, Mombaça grass should be managed at a level of 30% shading, which can be considered adequate to maximize forage yield, balancing the benefits of soil and water conservation with the possible negative impacts on forage production.

This study investigated the protective properties of Lepidium draba L. hydroalcoholic extract (LDHE) against enterocolitis induced by Capecitabine (CT), utilizing biochemical, molecular, and histopathological analyses. A study was conducted involving 50 Wistar rats divided into 5 groups of ten rats over 60 days: healthy, 400 mg/kg LDHE, 20 mg/kg CT, and two co-treatment groups receiving both CT and 200 and 400 mg/kg LDHE groups. On the 61st day, serum nitric oxide, antidiuretic hormone (ADH), arginine vasopressin (AVP), tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 1 (CXCL-1), and interleukin-1β levels were measured, along with the activity of glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase enzymes. To evaluate tissue oxidative stress in the intestine, measurements were taken for FRAP, thiol, and TBARS levels. Apoptosis in the intestine was assessed by examining the Bax/Bcl-2, caspase-3, and p53 expression via real-time PCR. Furthermore, real-time PCR was employed to evaluate water homeostasis by examining the AQP3, AQP8, and AQP10 expression, while protein expression was analyzed using western blotting. LDHE extract effectively regulates inflammatory cytokine levels and modulates ADH and AVP levels, thereby preserving serum and intestinal osmotic balance. Furthermore, it attenuated the Bax/Bcl-2, caspase-3, and p53 mitochondrial apoptotic pathways while enhancing the expression of AQP3, AQP8, and AQP10 genes in intestinal tissue. The study suggests that LDHE holds promise in the treatment of enterocolitis in chemotherapy patients.

Introdução: Os programas de residência multiprofissional em saúde fundamentam-se como estratégia de reorganização dos serviços públicos, sendo uma de suas ênfases a de saúde mental. Como parte do processo educacional, tem-se a avaliação somativa que visa verificar se o residente atingiu os objetivos e desenvolveu as competências esperadas. Objetivo: Descrever a experiência de preceptora de um programa de residência multiprofissional em saúde mental do sudeste do Brasil no que tange a proposição de modificações no instrumento de avalição somativa. Metodologia: A experiência, qualitativa, contou com a participação de oito adultos (residentes, ex-residentes e preceptores), com quem a preceptora se encontrou em setembro de 2023. Resultados e discussão: Percebeu-se que o instrumento atual é considerado pelo grupo como cansativo, repetitivo e ineficiente, enquanto o proposto pela técnica-docente foi caracterizado como objetivo e específico, além de ser pertinente a todos os cenários de práticas da área de formação. Considerações finais: Advoga-se em favor das alterações no instrumento, cujas novas questões abarcam temas caros à saúde mental e são comuns às realidades da atenção primária, secundária e terciária em saúde, destacando-se que também é papel do preceptor, para além da educação em serviço, colaborar no aprimoramento das questões formais do programa de residência.

Analisar o nível de letramento em saúde e sua associação com os fatores sociodemográficos de adultos com hanseníase em um serviço de referência secundária foi o objetivo desse estudo. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal, realizado com 175 usuários de um centro de referência secundária em tratamento para hanseníase em Teresina-Piauí. Utilizou-se questionário sociodemográfico, escala de letramento em saúde e a escala Short Assessment of Health Literacy for Portuguese-Speaking Adults (SAHLPA-18). Houve prevalência do sexo masculino, com idades entre 40 e 59 anos e ensino fundamental incompleto. Não houve associação com significância estatística ao relacionar o resultado da escala SAHLPA-18 com as variáveis: faixa etária, escolaridade, situação funcional, outras doenças crônicas e o tempo de diagnóstico da hanseníase. No entanto, os resultados revelam um baixo nível de compreensão e dificuldades principalmente relacionadas à interpretação. Há prevalência de pacientes com letramento funcional, essencialmente do sexo masculino e com baixa escolaridade não apenas relacionados à hanseníase, como a saúde em geral, o que impacta no processo saúde-doença e no autocuidado.

Objectives

The subject of scientific research in this article is the problem of power and influence, emphasizing their destructive, educational and constructive power. The main idea of the article is to show the possibility and necessity of accepting the concept of „voluntariness instead of fear and obedience“ in modern human society and modern human professional and personal life.

Methods

The scientific methodology used is a combination of an etymological review of the considered phenomena of power and influence, content analysis, historical review, meta-analysis of primary scientific data, combined with a critical scientific review and presentation of the latest scientific opinions regarding the phenomena of power and influence.

Results

Statements and concepts of the phenomenon of power and the phenomenon of influence from ancient times to the present have been derived and systematized, positive and negative effects accompanying the two phenomena in social human life have been indicated, with an emphasis on the management of people and resources.

Conclusions

Despite the fact that the topic of power and influence is a subject that has been repeatedly researched, through the presented in-depth study, many distinctive concepts and statements are revealed that contribute significantly to a better understanding of the two phenomena – the phenomenon of power and the phenomenon of influence. In addition, a different and complementary concept of power and influence is considered, namely the concept of authority and respect, which at first sight contrasts with power concepts and understanding of power.

Introduction: Attempts have been made to use various RPs, other than 18F-FDG in the diagnostics of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), with promising results demonstrated by PSMA-specific RPs, in particular 18F-PSMA-1007.

A prospective study was conducted at N.N. Blokhin NMRCO to establish capabilities of PET/CT with 18F-FDG and 18F-PSMA-1007 in primary and recurrent ccRCC diagnostics.

Material and methods: Forty-eight patients were included in the study, 28 with renal masses and 20 with suspected local recurrence of ccRCC. Biopsy results were available in all patients. All patients underwent PET/CT with 18F-PSMA-1007 and 18F-FDG.

Results: Thirty-nine renal neoplasms were identified in 28 patients. 24 of 39 foci (21 patients) were PSMA-positive and 18 of 39 foci (16 patients) were FDG-positive. No false-positive foci were identified. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value in primary RCC were: for 18F-PSMA-1007 — 75, 100, 100 and 85 %, respectively; for 18FDG — 57, 100, 100 and 76 %, respectively. The SUVmax level of 18F-PSMA-1007 exceeded 18FDG in 27 of 28 patients (38 foci); the tumor/background ratio was higher in 16 of 28 patients (24 foci). Tumor thrombosis was detected in 6 patients (PSMA-positive 6 of 6, FDG-positive 5 of 6). PSMA-SUVmax levels in thrombi exceeded 18FDG in all patients, tumor/background ratio in 5 out of 6 patients. Local recurrence was detected in 13 of 20 patients (27 foci). 10 foci in the remaining 7 patients were considered as false positives. No false-negative results were obtained. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value in the diagnosis of local recurrence of ccPCC: 18F-PSMA-1007 — 100, 94, 81 and 100 %, respectively; 18FDG -100, 89, 68 and 100 %, respectively.

SUVmax and tumor/background ratio were found to correlate with primary tumor and recurrent node sizes for both RPs.

Discussion and conclusions: At the moment, the role of 18F-PSMA-1007 in RCC diagnostics has not been defined. We can note the high efficiency of this RP in the assessment of the primary focus and recurrence of ccRCC, its usage is justified in cases, when routine diagnostic methods do not give an unambiguous answer.

The possibilities of 18F-PSMA-1007 in metastatic ccRCC diagnostics are of the greatest interest. A significant prospective material has been collected in our department, which will be the basis for further study of this RP in the diagnostics of metastatic ccRCC.

A new type of bioelectrochemical system features a constructed wetland (CW) coupled with a microbial fuel cell (MFC) to treat Cr(VI) wastewater while generating electricity. The optimal operating parameters for treating wastewater containing Cr(VI) are discussed. The results show that the CW-MFC system is more effective in the treatment of Cr(VI)-containing wastewater and generating electricity. A COD concentration of 300 mg/dm3 corresponded to the greatest COD and Cr(VI) removal rates with a maximum power density of 505.62 mW/m3, whereas a Cr(VI) concentration of 80 mg/dm3 yielded the greatest COD removal rate, with a maximum power density of 484.43 mW/m3. A hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 3 days yielded the largest pollutant removal rates with a maximum power density of 479.21 mW/m3. Considering that the comprehensive operating conditions of CW-MFC are based on planting plants, the COD concentration is 300 mg/dm3, the Cr(VI) concentration is 80 mg/dm3, and the HRT is 3 days. The abundance of electrogenic bacteria Geobacter and metal dissimilatory reducing bacteria Acinetobacter in CW-MFC is higher than that in the control group. The results of this study provide theoretical guidance for determining the optimal operating conditions and energy recovery of the CW-MFC system for treating chromium wastewater.
