Published: July 2024

Background
The booming palm oil industry is in line with the growing population worldwide and surge in demand. This leads to a massive generation of palm oil mill effluent (POME). POME is composed of sterilizer condensate (SC), separator sludge (SS), and hydro-cyclone wastewater (HCW). Comparatively, SS exhibits the highest organic content, resulting in various environmental impacts. However, past studies mainly focused on treating the final effluent. Therefore, this pioneering research investigated the optimization of pollutant removal in SS via different aspects of bioremediation, including experimental conditions, treatment efficiencies, mechanisms, and degradation pathways.

Methods
A two-level factorial design was employed to optimize the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and turbidity using Aspergillus niger. Bioremediation of SS was performed through submerged fermentation (SmF) under several independent variables, including temperature (20–40 °C), agitation speed (100–200 RPM), fermentation duration (72–240 h), and initial sample concentration (20–100%). The characteristics of the treated SS were then compared to that of raw sludge.

Results
Optimal COD and turbidity removal were achieved at 37 °C 100 RPM, 156 h, and 100% sludge. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed a significant effect of selective individual and interacting variables (p < 0.05). The highest COD and turbidity removal were 97.43% and 95.11%, respectively, with less than 5% error from the predicted values. Remarkably, the selected optimized conditions also reduced other polluting attributes, namely, biological oxygen demand (BOD), oil and grease (OG), color, and carbon content. In short, this study demonstrated the effectiveness of A. niger in treating SS through the application of a two-level factorial design.
Evaluation of dentin features in teeth after caries removal by three techniques (chemomechanical, mechanical with a smart bur, and air-abrasion): an in vitro study

Published: July 2024

Background
Different methods for removing dental carious lesions exist, including conventional rotary caries removal and new advanced technology like polymer-based burs, chemomechanical agents, air abrasion, and laser.

Objectives
This study shows the differences in features of dentin (smear layer, patency of dentinal tubules, surface irregularities, intertubular micro porosities, and exposed dentinal tubules) among different types of caries removal techniques.

Materials and Methods
An in vitro study was done on 60 primary molars with occlusal class I active caries. Teeth were divided into three groups according to a method of caries removal (G1: chemomechanical, G2: mechanical with a smart bur, and G3: air-abrasion). After complete caries excavation, the teeth were examined under a scanning electronic microscope (SEM) with the power of magnification 4,000x and 8,000x to show the morphological dentinal features with SEM microphotographs. Data obtained was analyzed using the SPSS program where Fisher exact, Kruskal–Wallis and multiple Wilcoxon sum rank tests were used. The level of significance is when the p-value is less than 0.05.

Results
Generally, SEM showed the highest ratio of score 1 of smear layer presence, surface irregularities, and microporosity in all groups in both magnifications. The patency of tubules showed the highest ratio of score 1 in G1, scores 2 in both G2 and G3 in magnification 4,000x, while 8,000x there was the highest ratio of its score 1 in G1 and G2 while the G3 has score 2 as the highest score. The exposed dentinal tubules showed the highest ratio in G1 in score 3, in G2 in score 2, and in G3 in score 1 in magnification 4,000x, while 8,000x there was the highest ratio of its score 2 in both G1 and G3 while the G3 has highest score 1. The study with magnification 4,000x showed a significant difference (S) among three groups in exposed dentinal tubules with a p-value (0.012), and there was S between chemomechanical and smart, chemomechanical and air-abrasions groups with a p-value (0.041, 0.001 subsequentially). Other dentin features showed non-significant differences (NS) among or between groups in both magnifications (4,000x, 8,000x).

Conclusions
All groups were effective in removing caries and can successfully treat young, scared or stressed patients. All methods of caries removal produce clinically parametric changes in the residual dentin.

Authors: S R Ranjana , B S Sreelekshmy , Dharan Shaiju S , Dharman Dhanya 
Published: July 2024

Background: Peritoneal tuberculosis (PTB) is one of the most challenging forms of extra pulmonary tuberculosis. Abdominal TB cases make up above 3% of all extra pulmonary TB as per the Index TB Guidelines. PTB is commonly due to reactivation of latent tuberculosis in the peritoneum. Numerous cases were still misdiagnosed due to nonspecific presentation. The golden standard for diagnosis is laparoscopic biopsy. Presenting signs and symptoms of PTB are unspecific such as ascites, abdominal pain and distension, fever, weight loss, diarrhea/constipation. Peritoneal tuberculosis is a significant cause of ascites in developing countries. The causative agent of peritoneal tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Case Presentation: In this case study, a 52 year old male had complaints of progressive abdominal distension and fever for 2 weeks. Patient underwent diagnostic paracentesis, upper and lower GI endoscopy, biopsy and gene xpert to confirm peritoneal tuberculosis. Patient with peritoneal TB have gradually progressive abdominal swelling due to ascites and abdominal pain.
Conclusion: Peritoneal tuberculosis should be considered in differential diagnosis. Differential diagnosis, especially in the developing countries or under developed countries. This case highlights the easy diagnosis of the condition other than the other case reports.

The cost of defeat: Capuchin groups travel further, faster and later after losing conflicts with neighbors
Authors: Crofoot Margaret C. 
Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTAlthough competition between social groups is central to hypotheses about the evolution of human social organization, competitive interactions among group‐mates are thought to play a more dominant role in shaping the behavior and ecology of other primate species. However, few studies have directly tested the impact of intergroup conflicts in non‐human primates. What is the cost of defeat? To address this question, the movements of six neighboring white‐faced capuchin (Cebus capucinus) social groups living on Barro Colorado Island, Panama were tracked simultaneously using an Automated Radio Telemetry System (ARTS), for a period of six months. Groups moved 13% (441 m) further on days they lost interactions compared with days they won interactions. To cover these larger distances, they traveled faster, stopped less frequently, and remained active later in the evening. Defeat also caused groups to alter their patterns of space use. Losing groups had straighter travel paths than winning groups, larger net displacements and were more likely to change their sleeping site. These results demonstrate that losing groups pay increased travel costs and suggest that they forage in low‐quality areas. They provide some of the first direct evidence that intergroup conflicts have important energetic consequences for members of competitively unsuccessful primate social groups. A better understanding of how intergroup competition impacts patterns of individual fitness is thus needed to clarify the role that this group‐level process plays in shaping the evolution of human‐ and non‐human primate behavior.

Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTExtraction, purification, and gel preparation of Aloe Vera pectin and the evaluation of the biocompatibility of the pectin gels were studied, considering as end use as implantable materials for regenerative medicine. A. Vera was chosen as source of pectin, as this pectin was described to possess high molecular weight and a low degree of esterification. As the properties of pectins are strictly dependent upon the extraction methods in combination with the natural source, the extraction method was modified in order to optimize the yield of the final product, its purity, the duration of the process and the selection of non‐toxic chemical reagents. Changing the experimental conditions resulted in four different extraction processes and products with different physical and chemical characteristics. The optimal extraction resulted to be the process: with enzimatic deactivation by microwave and the use of sodium citrate as chelating agent the molecular weight of the pectin extracted was estimated to be 118 kDa and the 2.93% esterification degree. Cytocompatibility of pectin gels, prepared by ionotropic gelation, showing an improved cell adhesion if compared to commercial pectin. The results suggest that the extracted A. Vera pectins possess interesting properties to be exploited for the production of mechanically stable gels by ionotropic gelation and high rhamnose content matrices for application in regenerative medicine. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AbstractNitrosomonas europaea cytochrome c‐552 (Ne c‐552) variants with the same His/Met axial ligand set but with different EPR spectra have been characterized structurally, to aid understanding of how molecular structure determines heme electronic structure. Visible light absorption, Raman, and resonance Raman spectroscopy of the protein crystals was performed along with structure determination. The structures solved are those of Ne c‐552, which displays a “HALS” (or highly anisotropic low‐spin) EPR spectrum, and of the deletion mutant Ne N64Δ, which has a rhombic EPR spectrum. Two X‐ray crystal structures of wild‐type Ne c‐552 are reported; one is of the protein isolated from N. europaea cells (Ne c‐552n, 2.35 Å resolution), and the other is of recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli (Ne c‐552r, 1.63 Å resolution). Ne N64Δ crystallized in two different space groups, and two structures are reported [monoclinic (2.1 Å resolution) and hexagonal (2.3 Å resolution)]. Comparison of the structures of the wild‐type and mutant proteins reveals that heme ruffling is increased in the mutant; increased ruffling is predicted to yield a more rhombic EPR spectrum. The 2.35 Å Ne c‐552n structure shows 18 molecules in the asymmetric unit; analysis of the structure is consistent with population of more than one axial Met configuration, as seen previously by NMR. Finally, the mutation was shown to yield a more hydrophobic heme pocket and to expel water molecules from near the axial Met. These structures reveal that heme pocket residue 64 plays multiple roles in regulating the axial ligand orientation and the interaction of water with the heme. These results support the hypothesis that more ruffled hemes lead to more rhombic EPR signals in cytochromes c with His/Met axial ligation.
Comparing oxidative and dilute acid wet explosion pretreatment of Cocksfoot grass at high dry matter concentration for cellulosic ethanol production

Published: July 2013

AbstractThe choice of a suitable pretreatment method and the adjustment of the pretreatment parameters for efficient conversion of biomass are crucial for a successful biorefinery concept. In this study, cocksfoot grass, a suitable lignocellulosic biomass with a potential for large‐scale production was investigated for cellulosic ethanol production. The biomass raw materials were pretreated using wet explosion (WEx) at 25% dry matter concentration with addition of oxygen or dilute sulfuric acid. The enzymatic hydrolysis of cellulose was significantly improved after pretreatment. The highest conversion into cellulose monomeric C6 sugars was achieved for WEx condition AC‐E (180°C, 15 min, and 0.2% sulfuric acid). For that condition, the highest ethanol yield of 197 g/kg DM (97% of theoretical maximum value) was achieved for SSF process by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, the highest concentration of hemicellulose C5 sugars was found for WEx pretreatment condition O2‐A (160°C, 15 min, and 6 bar O2) which means that the highest potential ethanol yield was found at this moderate pretreatment condition with oxygen added. Increasing the pretreatment temperature to 180–190°C with addition of oxygen or dilute sulfuric acid significantly degrades the solubilized hemicellulose sugars and thus, achieved the highest formation of by‐products.
Relay selection in underlay cognitive networks with fixed transmission power nodes

Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTUnderlay cognitive networks operate simultaneously with primary networks satisfying stringent interference constraints, which reduces their transmission power and coverage area. To reach remote destinations, secondary sources use relaying techniques. Selecting the best relay among the available ones is a well known technique. Recently, selective cooperation is investigated in cognitive networks where the secondary nodes can adapt their transmission power to always satisfy the interference threshold. In this paper, we investigate a situation where the secondary nodes have a fixed transmission power and may violate the interference threshold. We present two relay selection schemes; the first one excludes the relays not satisfying the interference constraint and then picks up a relay from the remaining ones that can provide the maximum signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR). The other scheme uses a quotient of the relay link SNR and the interference from the relay to the primary user and optimizes it to maximise the relay link SNR. We derive closed form expressions for outage probability, bit error rate, channel capacity and diversity of the system for both schemes by using tight approximations. We also study mutual effects of interference. Simulation results confirm the analytical results and reveal that the relay selection is feasible at low SNRs. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AbstractGeometric cues have been used for a variety of cell regulation and tissue regenerative applications. While the function of geometric cues is being recognized, their stability and degradation behaviors are not well known. Here, we studied the influence of degradation on uniaxial‐stretch‐induced poly(ε‐caprolactone) (UX‐PCL) ridge/groove arrays and further cellular responses. Results from accelerated hydrolysis in vitro showed that UX‐PCL ridge/groove arrays followed a surface‐controlled erosion, with an overall geometry remained even at ∼45% film weight loss. Compared to unstretched PCL flat surfaces and/or ridge/groove arrays, UX‐PCL ridge/groove arrays achieved an enhanced morphological stability against degradation. Over the degradation period, UX‐PCL ridge/groove arrays exhibited an “S‐shape” behavior of film weight loss, and retained more stable surface hydrophilicity and higher film mechanical properties than those of unstretched PCL surfaces. Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) aligned better toward UX‐PCL ridge/groove arrays when the geometries were remained intact, and became sensitive with gradually declined nucleus alignment and elongation to the geometric degradation of ridges. We speculate that uniaxial stretching confers UX‐PCL ridge/groove arrays with enhanced stability against degradation in erosive environment. This study provides insights of how degradation influences geometric cues and further cell responses, and has implications for the design of biomaterials with stability‐enhanced geometric cues for long‐term tissue regeneration. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: July 2013

AbstractHydrogels are gaining attention as injectable vehicles for delivery of therapeutics for a range of applications. We describe self‐assembling and injectable Dock‐and‐Lock hydrogels for local delivery of interleukin‐10 (IL‐10) to abate the progression of inflammation and fibrosis that leads to chronic kidney disease. As monitored with a fluorescent tag, hydrogels degraded within a few days in vitro and matched IL‐10 release profiles; however, hydrogels remained in the kidney for up to 30 days in vivo. A unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) mouse model was used to investigate in vivo outcomes after hydrogel injection and IL‐10 delivery. Eight groups were investigated (7, 21, 35 days, n = 4): healthy, sham, healthy injected with mouse serum albumin (MSA), healthy + hydrogel, UUO, UUO + IL‐10, UUO + hydrogel, UUO + hydrogel/IL‐10. 15 μL of IL‐10, hydrogel, or hydrogel/IL‐10 was injected under the renal capsule 3 days after the UUO. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on paraffin sections to identify macrophages and apoptotic cells and trichrome staining was used to evaluate fibrosis. There were no significant differences in inflammatory markers between all control groups. With hydrogel delivery, macrophage infiltration and apoptosis were significantly reduced at days 21 and 35 compared to untreated animals. By day 35, IL‐10 delivery via hydrogel reduced macrophage infiltration and apoptosis more than IL‐10 injection alone. Fibrosis was decreased by day 35 in all treatment groups. This work supports the use of hydrogel delivery of IL‐10 to treat chronic kidney disease. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 102A: 2173–2180, 2014.
