Commonwealth initiatives in the tracing, seizing, freezing and forfeiture of drug proceeds.

Commonwealth Law Ministers have recognized that improved domestic measures for tracing, seizing, freezing and forfeiting illegally acquired assets, including the proceeds of drug trafficking, should be complemented by international initiatives. To this end, the Commonwealth Secretariat is formulating a Commonwealth scheme for mutual judicial assistance in criminal matters to strengthen the ability of national authorities to investigate, prosecute and convict international drug traffickers. Work is also being done to develop model legislation governing the attachment of assets believed to have been illegally acquired. In addition, the Commonwealth Commercial Crime Unit has for the past three years been developing intelligence on illicit money operations relating to drug traffickers and other organized criminals. The Commonwealth Secretariat considers that the fight against organized drug crimes requires a wide-ranged response, including improved laws, greater training and education and increased international cooperation.

Hypoimmune induced pluripotent stem cell–derived cell therapeutics treat cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases in immunocompetent allogeneic mice

Significance Precise gene editing allows engineering of immune receptors and ligands to reduce the immunogenicity of cells, and strategies for the generation of immune-evasive stem cell sources are currently being developed. This article describes the translational aspect of generating universally transplantable, disease-specific, therapeutic cell products. We provide proof of concept that immune-engineered cells can treat major cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases in fully allogeneic subjects without utilizing any immunosuppression. The translational aspect is emphasized by showing improvements in clinically relevant outcome measures, which are widely used in human trials. Depending on the feasibility of large-scale manufacturing of universal cell therapeutics, this approach could enable cost-effective cell therapy.

From Countercultures to Suburban Cultures: Frank Zappa after 1968

Suburbia would prove to be the terminus of Frank Zappa's satirical project. In the final analysis, the ringmaster of freaks, a mother to the North American counterculture and champion of outsiders would find himself outnumbered and outmanoeuvred by the rising tide of 'plastic people'. The nature and efficacy of Zappa's last formal political stand at this juncture is the concern of this chapter. It is the precise social and political moment of this juncture – as the 1970s turned into the 1980s, and the dawn of the Reagan era, perceived as the final routing of 'the long 1960s' – that lends a context to Zappa's seemingly reactionary sentiments, a framing which goes some way to recover Zappa's work from its detractors.

Stability of Anthocyanins from Tradescania pallida

ABSTRACT The acylated, B‐ring substituted anthocyanins of Tradescantia pallida (TPA) were extracted from the leaves with acidic water, purified on a Duolite‐861 resin and incorporated into a model beverage. The beverage was composed of a citrate‐phosphate buffer at pH values 3.5, 4.5 or 5.5, and 15% sucrose. Comparison samples contained cyanidin‐3‐glucoside from blackberries and a commercial sample of enocyanin from grapes. The TPA samples were much more stable than the other two, particularly at the higher pH values as judged by pigment retention and tristimulus color readings. The extra absorption band of the TPA samples at pH 5.5 indicated the samples were well colored. Addition of tannin and/or ascorbic acid resulted in marked pigment and color loss.

Chemical Profile, Antioxidant Activity and α-Glucosidase Inhibition of Sea Grape Caulerpa lentillifera Collected from Different Sites in Thailand

Caulerpa lentillifera (sea grapes) stands out for its nutritional profile and associated health advantages. Seaweeds, including sea grapes, exhibit diverse chemical compositions that are influenced by environmental conditions. This study aimed to compare the chemical composition, metabolite content, antioxidant activity and α-glucosidase inhibition of sea grapes collected at different sites (Phetchaburi and Trang) and at different times during the month of January, April, and July 2022. Both collection times and sites have influenced all assessed parameters. The sea grapes collected from Trang had a significantly higher amount of metabolite, antioxidant activity and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity than those from Phetchaburi at p &lt; 0.001. The highest amount of phenolic compound (93.76 ± 2.39 mg GAE/g extract) and reducing power (EC50 = 25.86 ± 0.20 mg/mL) occurred in sea grapes in April month, while those collected in January and April had high DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging (EC50 &lt; 7.50 mg/mL). The highest inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase (EC50 = 19.27 ± 0.40 mg/mL) was found in the sea grapes collected in January. The LC-QTOF MS/MS result of sea grape extract indicated similar compounds in amino acids, fatty acids, lipids, nucleic acids, carboxylic acids, cyanogenic glucosides, steroids, terpenoids and vitamins. The disparity in phenolic profiles between Phetchaburi (9) and Trang (14) sea grapes was related to higher phenolic compound and flavonoid contents, coupled with antioxidant properties in Trang. These findings supported the possible use of sea grapes from Trang as a reservoir of bioactive compounds. HIGHLIGHTS Chemical profile and content, antioxidant and α-glucosidase inhibition of sea grapes was analyzed Collection times and sites affected all measured parameters of sea grapes extract Sea grapes from Trang exhibited higher all measured parameters than Phetchaburi A novel chemical profiling of sea grapes was displayed via LC-QTOF MS/MS analysis GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

Bone Mineral Density in African–American Women with Symptomatic Uterine Leiomyoma

Objective: Uterine leiomyoma is associated with increased BMD in Caucasian women and is largely attributed to the state of hyperestrogenemia associated with disease. This relationship, however, has not been previously described in African–American women. We aim to assess BMD in African–American women with symptomatic uterine leiomyoma. Design: Case–control study. Materials &amp; methods: 29 African–American women with uterine leiomyoma signed an Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved consent form at a reproductive clinic of an inner city hospital in Brooklyn, NY, USA. BMD and T-score of lumbar spine was compared with a controlled group matched for age, race and BMI. BMD of lumbar spine was measured using Hologic QDR 4200 in both groups. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. Results: For the entire study population the mean age (years) was 42.07 ± 1.15, and the BMI (kg/m 2 ) was 29.37 ± 0.93 in patients with uterine leiomyoma and 30.07 ± 1.06 for the control group (p = 0.07). There was a significant difference in the mean BMD (cm 2 ) between the uterine leiomyoma group (1.17 ± 0.03) compared with control (1.05 ± 0.02 p &lt; 0.01). The T-score for the uterine leiomyoma group was significantly higher compared with the control group (0.31 ± 0.25 and −0.74 ± 0.21 with p &lt; 0.01). The prevalence of osteopenia (T-score &lt;-1) was lower for the leiomyoma group when compared with controls, (p &lt; 0.02). Conclusion: Consistent with data from the white population with uterine leiomyoma, our data showed a significantly higher BMD in African–American women with uterine leiomyoma, compared with an age- and race-matched cohort. The implications of these findings remain to be investigated and further confirmed in future longitudinal studies.

The Semblance of Democratic Revolution: Coalitions in Ukraine's Orange Revolution

Using two unusual surveys, this study analyzes participation in the 2004 Orange Revolution in Ukraine, comparing participants with revolution supporters, opponents, counter-revolutionaries, and the apathetic/inactive. As the analysis shows, most revolutionaries were weakly committed to the revolution's democratic master narrative, and the revolution's spectacular mobilizational success was largely due to its mobilization of cultural cleavages and symbolic capital to construct a negative coalition across diverse policy groupings. A contrast is drawn between urban civic revolutions like the Orange Revolution and protracted peasant revolutions. The strategies associated with these revolutionary models affect the roles of revolutionary organization and selective incentives and the character of revolutionary coalitions. As the comparison suggests, postrevolutionary instability may be built into urban civic revolutions due to their reliance on a rapidly convened negative coalition of hundreds of thousands, distinguished by fractured elites, lack of consensus over fundamental policy issues, and weak commitment to democratic ends.

Upper and lower bound on delta-crossing number and tabulation of knots

We will strengthen the known upper and lower bounds on the delta-crossing number of knots in therms of the triple-crossing number. The latter bound turns out to be strong enough to obtain (unknown values of) triple-crossing numbers for a few knots. We also prove that we can always find at least one tangle from the set of four tangles, in any triple-crossing projections of any non-trivial knot or non-split link. In the last section, we enumerate and generate tables of minimal delta-diagrams for all prime knots up to the delta-crossing number equal to four. We also give a concise survey about known inequalities between integer-valued classical knot invariants.

Asymptotic behavior of normalized linear complexity of ultimately non-periodic binary sequences

This paper describes the asymptotic behavior of normalized linear complexity of ultimately nonperiodic binary sequence. The linear complexity of s/sup n/, L/sub s/(n), is defined as the length of the shortest linear feedback shift register which generates s/sup n/. The research method and results studied in this paper seem to be very useful in characterizing the purely random sequence and distinguishing a key stream generator from a uniformly random sequence.

[Age- and sex-related correlations in patients with cholecystitis and cholelithiasis].

It is indicated that with age there is a growing tendency to formation of bile calculi. Women over 55 years of age are most frequently involved. The author suggests that this occurs due to endocrine changes during the climacteric period.

YUJ: An Innovative Model for Sharing and Re-using the Elite Research data in the Big Data Environment

The advent of Information and Communication technology (ICT) has resulted in a remarkable change in the sharing and re-use of data among academic and scientific community. The wide spectrum of collaboration and interaction among the scientists and academia within the campus has extended further so that the research and research outcomes are shared globally. Conventionally it was done through research publications, and later through digital libraries and online repositories. These platforms fulfil the idea of sharing and reuse of data, but an exclusive platform for collaborative and collective representation of academic informatics is the need of the hour. This paper explains the features of an innovative and cost effective model for sharing and re-use of academic informatics developed by Cochin University of Science & Technology (CUSAT).

Abstract 701: Characterization of two novel quinoline derivatives that induce apoptosis in a cancer-specific manner.

Abstract Many quinoline-based compounds possess pharmacological properties that are beneficial for the control of various human diseases, including microbial infections, inflammatory-related disorders, cardiovascular conditions, and cancer. The anticancer activities of quinoline compounds are often rendered by their property of inhibiting protein kinases, proteasome activity, tubulin polymerization/depolymerization and DNA repair. To further improve the efficacy and specificity, we created and characterized several quinoline derivatives, which led us to identify CTRI-17 and CTRI-20 as promising leads. We examined their anti-proliferative properties using three human breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) and two matching non-cancer breast cell lines (184B5 and MCF10A). In addition, we also examined their efficacy using one leukemic cell line (K-562) and one cervical cell line (HeLa). Data from this study showed that the IC50 values of CTRI-17 and CTRI-20 were 0.1-0.3 μM and 1.2-2.4 μM ranges on cancer and non-cancer cell lines, respectively. Thus, both CTRI-17 and CTRI-20 killed cancer cells 10-20 times more effectively than non-cancer cells. This differential cell killing effects on cancer and non-cancer cells is a highly desirable property for potential anticancer therapeutics. We further found that cancer cells treated with the two compounds resulted in increases of pro-apoptotic proteins such as p53 and Bax, and decreases of anti-apoptotic proteins such as Bcl-2 and survivin. Our data obtained from flow cytometry and confocal microscopy showed that CTRI-17 and CTRI-20 induced prolonged cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase prior to causing apoptosis in cancer cells. However, the two compounds neither induced substantial cell cycle arrest nor caused high levels of apoptosis in non-cancer cells at the same drug concentration. We are currently in the process of determining the detailed functional mechanisms of CTRI-17 and CTRI-20. Citation Format: Indeewari K.

Geochemical and Statistical Evaluation of Gold Mineralization of AbuSari Area–Northern Sudan

Gold mineralization of the target area is mainly confined to the Meta volcanic, Meta sedimentary rocks of green schist fanciesintruded by granitioid rocks.  To reveal secondary dispersion haloes, unconsolidated soil samples were collected along profiles, across the suspected Au-bearing sector. Resultsobtainedfor Au and associated elements (Ag, Co, Pb and Zn), were subjected to statistical analysis to reveal parameters such as background value (Cb), coefficient of correlation, coefficient of variation, geochemical factors, productivities, and coefficient of dispersion. Statistical methods interpretation of the data proved to be effective and complement each other. Geochemical factors and ratios of contents of epithermal elements to hypothermal elements indicate deeper levels of mineralization and weathering, gold dispersion shows erratic behavior. The morphology of secondary dispersion haloes of one element reflects more or less the morphology of the hidden ore bodies.
