Published: January 2023

Lactic acid is a chemical with widespread applications, mainly in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical as well as food industries. One of the major uses of lactic acid is the polylactic acid (PLA) feedstock which is biodegradable and biocompatible as an alternative to plastic derived from fossil fuels. Efforts continue to be made to reduce the cost of producing PLA in order to compete with the conventional petrochemical-based plastics. This include the use of molasses as a raw material because it is cheap and contains high glucose. The purpose of this study was to obtain cell concentrations through the addition of starter volume that produces high concentrations of lactic acid and to obtain the growth kinetics of Lactobacillus acidophilus during the fermentation process. This study was conducted in several stages; the design of bioreactors, inoculation of Lactobacillus acidophilus, and fermentation of molasses. In a batch system, molasses substrate was directly inserted as much as 500 ml in the fermentor and the addition of starter volume of Lactobacillus acidophilus was 1; 3; 5 dan 10% v/v. The fermentation of molasses for 72 hours and the product was analysed every 8 hours. The highest concentration of lactic acid produced in batch fermented molasses was added to 5% (v/v) starter volume with 72 hours of fermentation time, which was 23.1 mg/L, with value the carrying-capacity coefficient (k) and the maximum net specific growth rate (µnet) were 0.2379 h-1 and 0.0160 h-1 respectively.

Authors: Vasin A. B. , Omelchenko D. V. 
Published: January 2023

Introduction. The most pressing problems in abdominal oncology surgery are the development of obstructive jaundice as a complication in patients with malignant tumors in the hepatobiliary and pancreatoduodenal area, and the ways to eliminate it and to reduce the risk of adverse events. Our earlier research revealed 14 predictors that together are more likely to cause undesirable postoperative complications, including deaths during minimally invasive biliary tract decompression. On the basis of the data obtained, a computer program “Risk Assessment of Treatment Methods for Obstructive Jaundice” was created.Materials and methods. The program was introduced into clinical practice in Yaroslavl Regional Clinical Oncology Hospital and was tested on 144 patients from 2019 through 2022. Th e program issued a conclusion on the risk of adverse events and assigned the patient to one of the groups where drainage or stenting were recommended for the first stage of biliary tract decompression.Results and discussion. Following a collegial decision based on the results obtained via the program, 58 patients (40.28 %) underwent endoscopic stenting and 86 patients (59.72 %) underwent percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage. In the study group, adverse events developed in 10 patients (6.94 %), while in the control group — in 50 patients (22.94 %), and 134 patients (93.06 %) had no complications, as compared to 168 patients (77.06 %) in the control group.Conclusion. Application of the program based on reliable and practically significant 14 predictors results in a decline in general complications induced by minimally invasive biliary tract decompression from 22.94 % to 6.94 % and a 3.5-fold decrease in mortality from 5.05 % to 1.39 % in patients with malignant neoplasms in the hepatobiliary and pancreatoduodenal area, complicated by obstructive and mixed jaundice.

The aim of the study was to assess the effect of humic substances on the changes of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) content in the thigh and breast muscle of turkey. For the trial, 20 turkeys (BIG 6) were allocated into two groups (control group and experimental group) of 10 birds. Experimental group was supplemented with 0.5 % Humac Mycotoxi Sorb (HM). The control group received a basal diet without any supplements. The Humac Mycotoxi Sorb was added to turkey feed for 10 weeks. In the breast and thigh muscles, we found a statistically significantly higher (P < 0.001) Cu content after the addition of 0.5% HM to the feed (4.43; 4.18 mg.kg-1 ) compared to the control group of turkeys (2.70;3.35 mg.kg-1). Also, in the breast and thigh muscles, were found a statistically significantly higher (P < 0.05) Zn content after the addition of 0.5% HM to the feed (50.98; 64.42 mg.kg-1 ) compared to the control group of turkeys (44.33; 62.95 mg.kg-1).

Abstract

Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI), a component of computer science, has the ability to process the multitude of medical data existing in the medical system around the world. The goal of our study is to build an AI model, based on Machine Learning, capable of assisting pathologists around the world in the diagnosis of the basal cell carcinoma of the skin.

Material and Method: Our study is represented by the development of a Mask-RCNN (Mask Region-based Convolutional Neural Network) model, for the detection of cells with typical basal cell carcinoma tumoral changes. A number of 258 digitized histological images were used. The images emerged from Hematoxylin&Eosin stained pathology slides, diagnosed with cutaneous basal cell carcinoma between January 2018 and December 2021, at the Pathology Service of the Mureș County Clinical Hospital.

Results: All the used images have the unique resolution of 2560x1920 pixels. For the learning process, we divided these images into two datasets: the learning dataset, representing 80% of the total images; and the test dataset, representing 20% of the total images. The AI model was trained using 1000 epochs with a learning rate of 0.00025 and only one classification category: basal cell carcinoma.

Conclusions: The AI model successfully identified in 85% of the cases the areas with pathological changes present in the input images.

Abstract

Introduction: Pilocytic astrocytoma is a common tumour in paediatric patients. A low-grade glioma, it is most commonly treated by surgery, with various post-surgical side effects. New methods of treatment and follow-up are constantly evolving to offer alternative options to paediatric patients whose nerve structures are developing.

Case presentation: A 9-year-old patient diagnosed with a pilocytic astrocytoma by MRI and histopathological examination underwent a biopsy and evacuation procedure of the cystic component after which the patient’s condition improved significantly. The ‘wait-and-see’ approach using MRI instead of total surgical excision of the tumour was preferred, and the patient had favourable results on control imaging.

Conclusions: Paediatric patients suffering from pilocytic astrocytoma with favourable imaging and histopathological features may consider MRI follow-up instead of surgical excision until the character of the tumour changes or until the brain has reached full development.
Nano-scale surface modification of dental implants – An emerging boon for osseointegration and biofilm control
Authors: Sachin Palekar Gouri , Uppoor Ashita S. , Nayak Sangeeta U. 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Implant therapy is a commonly based method of replacing missing teeth. A range of physical, chemical, and biological modifications have been applied to the surface of titanium implants to improve their biological performance and osseointegration outcomes. Implant surface characteristics play an important function in several peri-implant cellular and molecular mechanisms. Clinicians are commonly placing dental implants with various surface roughness and modifications including plasma-sprayed, acid-etched, blasted, oxidized, hydroxyapatite-coated, or combinations of these procedures. Surface modifications are to facilitate early osseointegration and to ensure a long-term bone-to-implant contact without substantial marginal bone loss can be accomplished. It is apparent that different modifications have a range of beneficial effects, it is essential to consider at what time point and in what conditions these effects occur. This article reviews existing surface modification technologies of mainstream dental implants and the correlation between implant surface coatings and their performance of osseointegration or anti-bacterial ability it needs to be evaluated.
Alpha adrenergic receptors in clinical practice – Present and future
Authors: Lechsner Patrick , Ban Erika-Gyongyi 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this review we discuss the adrenergic pathways for alpha 1 and alpha 2 receptors and the current as well as potential future medication targeting these receptors. Overall, there is ongoing research into a multitude of directions with a promising outlook for alpha 1 and alpha 2 adrenergic receptors. The alpha 1-adrenergic receptor subfamily is currently modulating only a modest number of nervous system functions due the fact, that only a relatively small number of selective commercial products are available. Chronic stress can affect the long-term depression of alpha 1 receptors. Recent studies are searching for new molecular targets which might act on these receptors. Presynaptic alpha 2 receptors play an important role in modulating release of several neurotransmitters in the central nervous system. The future of alpha 2 adrenergic receptors in clinical practice looks even more promising and versatile than that of alpha 1 adrenergic receptors. Alpha 2 adrenergic receptors show different responses, especially regarding hypertension and heart failure treatment, and current research suggests a genetic component as a cause, which is being explored further.

Authors: Rathee Manu , Divakar Santhanam , Jain Prachi , Singh Sandeep , Chahal Sujata 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Maxillectomy is the surgical removal or resection of the maxilla or upper jaw bone. Maxillectomy may be total or partial. It is performed during surgical treatment of cancer and infections (bacterial. fungal) of the oral cavity, nasal cavity and maxillary sinuses. Patient affected from post-Covid mucormycosis require local debridement or surgical resection resulting in maxillectomy. After surgery, patient has difficulty in mastication, speech, and swallowing because of communication between oral and nasal cavity. This may also give rise to psychological challenges and social exclusion. The prosthodontic rehabilitation of such patient using obturator provide a separation between oral and nasal cavity and improve the quality of life of the patient. There are various techniques and materials used for fabrication of definitive obturator. This article discusses the prosthodontic rehabilitation after maxillectomy in post-covid mucormycosis patients using obturator by conventional and 3D printed techniques.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Rigid connectors between pontic and retainer are preferred way of fabricating fixed partial dentures for many decades as they provide desirable strength, retention and stability to the prosthesis. However, it is not ideal for cases such as lone-standing abutments (pier abutment), maligned teeth where occlusal stress can extrude the restoration. This may lead to marginal leakage and secondary caries on the abutment teeth. Conversely, it is recommended to use non-rigid connectors which act as a stress breaker, where the tensile stresses are concentrated on the surrounding bone and not on the connectors. With advancement in digital technology in dentistry, the non-rigid connectors can be fabricated using additive manufacturing technology. The present case report discusses the Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) designed fixed dental prosthesis with key and keyway (Tenon and Mortise) non-rigid connector for rehabilitation of pier abutment in maxillary posterior region.

Authors: Beju Livia Dana , Purcar Carmen Maria 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In order to obtain good quality of the machining surfaces, it is necessary for the cutting tools to be correctly positioned in relation to the workpiece. In the case of turning on CNC machines, the tip of the cutting insert must be placed in the axis of the semi-finished product without additional adjustments on this axis. The paper analyzes the precision of a turning tool because the problem (studied for an insert) can be used for a larger number of inserts placed on more complex tools. The key point that allows the correct design of the insert pocket on the tool body is specified. Also, the dimensional chain on the Y direction of the turning tool and the non-linear tolerance specifications of the cutting tool body have been established.
Determining the Forming Limit Diagram by Experimental Methods

Published: January 2023

Abstract
In general, a large part of the time is devoted to the design and production of reliable parts where extensive knowledge is required for the design engineers to come up with an optimal solution for the tooling and sheet metal forming processes. Most of the time, the principle of trial and error is used to get the desired shapes for the products. This is because the prediction of deformations occurring in sheet metal elements is not available and is highly dependent on the geometry of the part, the tools and the deformation process. Prediction is limited by the proper location of necking, shear breakage, and puckering of the material. Searching for a robust deformation process by trial and error is expensive and inefficient. The use of numerical simulations provides engineers with an alternative efficiency for developing a tool and process to produce quality parts in a more efficient and lower cost. Computer simulation is an extension of theoretical science that is based on mathematical models. Such models attempt to characterize the physical prediction or consequences of scientific theories. The purpose of this work is to present the way of determining the forming limit diagram by various experimental methods.
Study of Two-Phase Induction Motor with Non-Orthogonal Stator Windings in Sensorless Systems
Authors: Crăciunaş Gabriela 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
In this paper, the operation of a two-phase induction motor (TPIM) with non-orthogonal stator windings is studied, in a stationary reference frame. Through modeling and simulation on the Matlab/Simulink environment, the influence of the electrical shift angle stator windings on the magnetic and electromechanical quantities of the machine, in transient mode, will be highlighted. Also, another problem studied refers to the determination of the rotor flux of the TPIM by the estimation method, thus avoiding the use of the flux sensor. It was decided to use estimators derived directly from the machine equations written in motor mode, estimators used in electrical drives with analog control. And in this case, simulation was used to highlight, in a transient regime, the performance of using these flux estimators.
Problems of the Application of Recourse Against a Person Who Has Caused Damage by Illegal Acts in Criminal Proceedings: The Case of Lithuania
Authors: Gruodytė Edita , Šalčius Marijus 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
The need to compensate for material and moral damage caused to a person is a constitutional principle, which is implemented in Article 6.272 of the Civil Code of the Republic of Lithuania, establishing the non-contractual liability of the State for damage caused by pre-trial investigation officers, a prosecutor, a judge, or a court (hereinafter referred to as the “Officials”). Furthermore, Article 6.272(4) of the Civil Code provides that if the damage is caused by the intentional actions of the Officials, the State shall acquire the right of recourse in accordance with the procedure laid down by law. In Lithuania, the number of cases of compensation for damage caused by unlawful acts of the Officials is increasing, while the recourse procedure has not yet been applied even though 20 years have passed since the above-mentioned rule of the Civil Code came into force. The authors of the article search for the answer why the recourse procedure is not applied in practice by analysing the legal regulation of the regression and the content of intentional fault using theoretical, comparative, linguistic, historical, jurisprudence analysis, and related legal methods.
