Formation of carboxylic acid complexes with polyaromatic hydrocarbons of the coronene series. Quantum chemical modelling
Authors: Raksha E V , Vysotsky Yu B , Kartashynska E S , Savoskin M V 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
The paper presents the results of molecular modelling of the carboxylic acid interaction with polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) of a coronene series in the framework of the semi-empirical PM6-DH2 method. It has been shown that the orientation of the acid molecule when all its atoms are in the plane parallel to the PAH one is the most preferable. Using the results of the thermodynamic parameters assessment, it was shown that for complexes of acetic acid with considered PAH the binding enthalpy and Gibbs free energy increase in the series from coronene to dicircumcoronene. An acid hydrocarbon radical elongation leads to an increase in the binding enthalpy and Gibbs free energy of carboxylic acids of the series CnH2n+1-COOH (n = 0 ÷ 5) with dicircumcoronene. Complexes of carboxylic acids with PAH are stabilized by nonvalent CH…CPAH interactions. It was found that the thermodynamic parameters of the complexes formation linearly correlate with the number of stabilizing CH…CPAH interactions for considered complexes of carboxylic acids CnH2n+1-COOH (n = 1 ÷ 5) with dicircumcoronene.

The study of the interaction of quantum dots with phosphatidylcholine to create hybrid functional materials
Authors: Zaitsev I S , Oleinikov V A , Zaitsev S Yu 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
Quantum dots (QDs) are widely used as biomarkers that has both fundamental and applied importance. Since cell membranes are mainly composed of lipids such as phosphatidylcholine (PC) and its derivatives, it is important to investigate the interaction of QDs with PC in monolayers to understand the penetration mechanism. This work is devoted to the study of the interaction of QDs with PC by determining their surface-active properties at various interfaces by dynamic surface tension. The isotherms of the surface tension of 5 μg/L QDs solution or 0.17 mM (0.86 mM) PC solutions, as well as the solutions of the mixtures of QDs and PC: 0.17 mM (0.86 mM) PC and 5 μg/L QDs or 0.17 mM (0.86 mM) PC and 15 μg/L QDs were obtained. The mixed QDs/PC monolayers (at low content of QDs equal to 1:100) were characterized by the formation of a stable domain structures. An adsorption of PC at QDs allows to vary the degree of surface modification by changing the amount of the lipid. Such nanoparticles have dimensions not very different from the sizes of the initial QDs, due to the small size of lipids and are well suited for incorporation into biomembrane models.

Abstract
Chicken meat consumption, especially for broiler chicken, is increasing with time. Chicken meat is preferred by the community because it is easily digestible, relatively cheap, and a good source of animal protein. Latest rumor on the safety of animal derived food is the presence of dioxin compound. Dioxin is a dangerous chemical produced during incineration of household and industrial waste. Food is the main source and pathway for dioxin to enter the body. Most dioxin consumption come from beef, chicken meat, fish, egg, and milk. This research utilized Complete Randomized Sampling (CRS) with 18 Cobb strain broiler chickens as research animals which were divided into 3 groups: negative control group, positive control group, and treatment group. Research animal were given 3 goat milk yoghurt casein tablet/chicken/day (casein dosage was 750 mg of tablet weight) diluted in Reverse Osmosis (RO) water and 2,3,7,8-TCDD 50 ng/ml/1 kg feed dosage for 21 days. Wing and thigh meat samples were analyzed for dioxin residue by UV spectrophotometer in 300 nm wavelength. Residue level data was statistically analyzed by One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test followed by Tukey’s Honestly Significant Test (HSD). The result showed a drop of dioxin residue level in the wing and thigh of treatment group. The result was obtained by comparing with the average residue level of positive control.

Published: October 2020

AbstractTahu is a popular culinary product in Malang town. This product is produced from soyabean and rich of protein. Besides, tahu is also rich of water, so that surface of tahu tends to polar. Colorization of tahu by extract of yellow and sweet potatoes is interesting because both sweet potatoes contains different polarity molecular dyes, i.e. polar anthocyanin in the purple sweet potato but non-polar beta carotene in the yellow sweet potato. In this paper, changing of tahu’s color after colorization by extract of both sweet potatoes was observed at different times of adsorption process (2, 4, 6 h), different compositions of the sweet potato and water (100g/1L and 300g/1L), and effect of palm oil addition (250 mL oil/1L water). Result of observation showed that the higher time of adsorption process, the higher ratio of the sweet potato weight and water volume, the darker color of the colorized tahu. Addition of the palm oil just improved extraction of β - carotene from the yellow sweet potato but did not improve the adsorption of the dyes on the tahu surface. Results of this study are used for supporting program of community service DPP SPP 2020 of Inorganic lecturers, as application of adsorption technology using tahu food as adsorbent and application of intermolecular force theory as part of Inorganic Chemistry I course.

Published: October 2020

Abstract
In this study we conducted experiments to prove the effectiveness of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa fruit juice as hepatoprotective agent in rats fed with high fat high cholesterol diet (HFHCD). The experiments were carried out using male albino rats which were fed with HFHCD for 15 days and at the same time orally supplemented with R. tomentosa fruit juice (RTFJ) in doses of 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw daily for 15 days. Simvastatin is used as a positive control. At the end of the experiment, the liver function markers in serum, AST (aspartate aminotransferase) and ALT (alanine aminotransferase) were determined as well as the histopathological image of the liver. Results of the experiments showed that HFHCD significantly induced hepatotoxicity showed by increase of sAST and sALT level. Supplementation of RTFJ significantly prevent the increase of sAST and sALT levels and maintained healthy histopathological image of liver tissue in rats fed with HFHCD, reduce fat accumulation and balloning hepatocytes as seen in untreated rats. From the results we concluded that R. tomentosa fruit juice possess significant hepatoprotective activity in rats fed with high fat high cholesterol diet, and therefore could be develop further as functional food to prevent hepatic diseases due to high fat high cholesterol diet.

Published: October 2020

AbstractThe study was carried out to observe the endogenous development ofE. tenellahistomorphologically in chickens subcutaneously injected withE. tenellaoocyst protein. One day old of twenty-four broiler chickens were divided into 2 groups, each group containing twelve chicks. Group 1 was as control group injected subcutaneously on the neck with two doses: the first dose was administered at age 4th day with Freund’s Complete Adjuvant (FCA) emulsified in PBS and administered booster dose was injected at 18th day of age with Freund’s Incomplete Adjuvant (FICA) emulsified in PBS. Group 2 was injected subcutaneously on the neck with two doses: first dose at 4th day of age with 50μg E. tenella oocyst protein emulsified in FCA and booster dose was given at 18th day of age with 50μg oocyst protein emulsified in FICA. After 14 days of booster, the both groups were challenged orally 1 × 104of virulentE. tenella. The assessment of endogenous development ofE. tenellain chickens evaluated histomorphologically of cecum and oocyst production examination. InjectedE. tenellaoocyst protein chickens were challenged at 32nd day of age, demonstrated that parasite endogenous development in intestine histomorphologically appeared decreased in proliferation and suppressing oocyst production rate around 68% compared with un-injected chicken. Impaired development of endogenous parasites occurs due to protective immunity resulting from exposure to antigens so that the ability to reproduce and multiply the parasites decreases. The study results demonstrated that relatively sufficient protection against coccidia by use theE. tenellaoocyst protein as material of cecal coccidiosis killed vaccine in broiler after challenge.E. tenellaoocysts protein can generate protective immunity against homologous challenge through reduction of proliferation parasite and the presence of parasites disabilities.
Assessment of fibrin-collagen co-gels for generating microvessels ex vivo using endothelial cell-lined microfluidics and multipotent stromal cell (MSC)-induced capillary morphogenesis

Published: October 2020

Abstract
One aspect of the challenge of engineering viable tissues ex vivo is the generation of perfusable microvessels of varying diameters. In this work, we take the approach of using hydrogel-based microfluidics seeded with endothelial cells (ECs) to form small artery/vein-like vessels, in conjunction with using the self-assembly behavior of ECs to form capillary-like vessels when co-cultured with multipotent stromal cells (MSCs). In exploring this approach, we focused on investigating collagen, fibrin, and various collagen-fibrin co-gel formulations for their potential suitability as serving as scaffold materials by surveying their angiogencity and mechanical properties. Fibrin and co-gels successfully facilitated multicellular EC sprouting, whereas collagen elicited a migration response of individual ECs, unless supplemented with the protein kinase C (PKC)-activator, phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Collagen scaffolds were also found to severely contract when embedded with mesenchymal cells, but this contraction could be abrogated with the addition of fibrin. Increasing collagen content within co-gel formulations, however, imparted a higher compressive modulus and allowed for the reliable formation of intact hydrogel-based microchannels which could then be perfused. Given the bioactivity and mechanical benefits of fibrin and collagen, respectively, collagen-fibrin co-gels are a promising scaffold option for generating vascularized tissue constructs.

Abstract
The hierarchically-micro/nanoscale rough surface structure and the high surface hydrophilicity are two necessary factors to construct the superhydrophilic-underwater superoleophobic materials for oil-water separation. In this work, an effective method on the fabrication of the superhydrophilic-underwater superoleophobic sponges was developed, in which the mixture of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles or (and) the SiO2 nanoparticles, the chitosan, the polyvinyl alcohol, and the glutaraldehyde was coated on the polymeric sponge by dip-coating to obtain the surface-modified sponges possessing the rough superhydrophilic-underwater superoleophobic surface. The structure of the surface-modified sponges were investigated by TGA, FTIR, WAXD, XPS, SEM, two-dimensional EDS element mapping as well as VSM, and the underwater superoleophobicity of the surface-modified sponges was proved by CH2Cl2 contact angle measurement. Furthermore, the resultant surface-modified sponges exhibited good oil-water separation ability by adsorption and filtration.
On the constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics (II)—Existence results
Authors: Chen Xiuxiong , Cheng Jingrui 
Published: October 2020

In this paper, we apply our previous estimates in Chen and Cheng [On the constant scalar curvature Kähler metrics (I): a priori estimates, Preprint] to study the existence of cscK metrics on compact Kähler manifolds. First we prove that the properness ofKK-energy in terms ofL1L^1geodesic distanced1d_1in the space of Kähler potentials implies the existence of cscK metrics. We also show that the weak minimizers of theKK-energy in(E1,d1)(\mathcal {E}^1, d_1)are smooth cscK potentials. Finally we show that the non-existence of cscK metric implies the existence of a destabilizedL1L^1geodesic ray where theKK-energy is non-increasing, which is a weak version of a conjecture by Donaldson. The continuity path proposed by Xiuxiong Chen [Ann. Math. Qué. 42 (2018), pp. 69–189] is instrumental in the above proofs.

Authors: Sarami Iman , Shi Jianhui , Lin Benjamin , Liu Haiyan , Monroe Robert , Lin Fan 
Published: October 2020

Abstract

Objectives
Human kidney injury molecule 1 (hKIM-1) is a sensitive and specific marker for detection of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CRCC), papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC), and ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). Its use was limited to a few surgical pathology laboratories because this specific antibody to hKIM-1 was not commercially available. We investigated the diagnostic utility of RNA in situ hybridization/RNAscope in the detection of hKIM-1 in tumors from various organs.

Methods
RNAscope for hKIM-1 was performed on 1,252 cases on tissue microarray sections, including CRCC (n = 185), PRCC (n = 59), chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (n = 18), oncocytoma (n = 12), OCCC (n = 27), and metastatic CRCC (n = 46).

Results
Fifty-nine (100%) of 59 PRCCs, 94 (95%) of 99 low-grade CRCCs, 83 (96%) of 86 high-grade CRCCs, and 24 (89%) of 27 OCCCs, and 44 (96%) of 46 metastatic CRCCs were positive for hKIM-1. In contrast, hKIM-1 expression was not seen in normal renal tubules or in most nonrenal tumors. Low-level expression could be seen in a small percentage of urothelial, hepatocellular, and colon carcinomas.

Conclusions
hKIM-1 is a sensitive and relatively specific marker (1) for diagnosing PRCC, CRCC, and OCCC when working on a tumor of unknown origin and (2) for differentiating CRCC from chromophobe renal cell carcinoma and oncocytoma.

Published: October 2020

Abstract

Objectives
To study the pathologic spectrum of kidney diseases in patients with hepatitis C virus infection (HCV+).

Methods
Native kidney biopsy specimens in HCV+ patients were reviewed.

Results
A total of 9,836 native kidney biopsy specimens were evaluated from January 2007 to December 2016, of which 273 (2.8%) were from HCV+ patients, and of these, 115 (42.1%) had diagnoses consistent with HCV-associated glomerulonephritis (GN). Non–HCV-associated kidney diseases comprised most diagnoses (158 cases, 57.9%) including non–immune complex–mediated kidney diseases (127 cases, 46.5%) and other immune complex–mediated glomerular diseases (31 cases, 11.4%). Forty-one (40.6%) patients had HCV-associated GN among 101 HCV+ patients from 2007 to 2011 vs 74 (43.0%) patients with HCV-associated GN among 172 HCV+ patients from 2012 to 2016. HCV-associated GN showed five morphologic patterns: focal proliferative (5.2%), diffuse mesangial proliferative (50.4%), diffuse membranoproliferative (28.7%), proliferative GN with crescentic lesions (7.8%), and membranous patterns (7.8%).

Conclusions
We found a spectrum of pathologic changes in renal biopsy specimens of HCV+ patients, with most having diseases unrelated to HCV infection, HCV-associated GN showing five morphologic patterns, and availability of effective HCV antiviral therapy not yet resulting in major changes in the spectrum of kidney diseases in these patients.
Gendering Citizenship and Decolonizing Justice in 1960s Ghana: Revisiting the Struggle for Family Law Reform
Authors: Skinner Kate 
Published: October 2020

Abstract
This article revisits the debates over family law reform in the years surrounding the independence of Ghana from British colonial rule. It builds upon social historical studies of marriage and child-rearing, and puts these into dialogue with the scholarship on legal pluralism, in order to examine the postcolonial implications of gendered legal struggles over social reproduction that arose during the colonial era. Drawing on key court cases, the report of a commission of inquiry, parliamentary debates, and the papers of a voluntary association, the article explores how different groups of women established their authority to speak on these issues, and why they were able to legitimate some reforms but not others. Whilst historians have pointed to the constraints that single-party socialism imposed on feminist mobilization in Ghana, this article explores further the ‘form, scale and scope’ of women’s agency. In the context of republican attempts to tackle colonial legacies of ‘deep legal pluralism’, and a programme of socialist development, women reformers framed their arguments in terms of a balance between the preservation of ‘custom’ and ‘advancement’ to modernity, and claimed their authority as mothers. By working creatively with the contradictions arising between legal, political, and sociological discourses, women parliamentarians secured a child maintenance law in 1965, even though earlier attempts to reform the marriage, divorce, and inheritance laws had ended in failure.
