Spirulina platensis is a cyanobacterium with high protein content and presenting neuroprotective effects. Now, we studied a protein-enriched fraction (SPF), on behavior, neurochemical and immunohistochemical (IHC) assays in hemiparkinsonian rats, distributed into the groups: SO (sham-operated), 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), and 6-OHDA (treated with SPF, 5 and 10 mg/kg, p.o., 15 days). Afterward, animals were subjected to behavioral tests and euthanized, and brain areas used for neurochemical and IHC assays. SPF partly reversed the changes in the apomorphine-induced rotations, open field and forced swim tests, and also the decrease in striatal dopamine and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid contents seen in hemiparkinsonian rats. Furthermore, SPF reduced brain oxidative stress and increased striatal expressions of tyrosine hydroxylase and dopamine transporter and significantly reduced hippocampal inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2 and glial fibrillary acidic protein expressions. The data suggest that the protein fraction from S. platensis, through its brain anti-inflammatory and antioxidative actions, exerts neuroprotective effects that could benefit patients affected by neurodegenerative diseases, like Parkinson's disease.

<P>Enzymatic hydrolysis of lactose has been shown to improve the efficiency and selectivity of membrane-based separations toward the recovery of bioactive oligosaccharides. Achieving maximum lactose hydrolysis requires intrinsic process optimization for each specific substrate, but the effects of those processing conditions on the target oligosaccharides are not well understood. Response surface methodology was used to investigate the effects of pH (3.25-8.25), temperature (35-55 degrees C), reaction time (6 to 58 min), and amount of enzyme (0.05-0.25%) on the efficiency of lactose hydrolysis by beta-galactosidase and on the preservation of biologically important sialyloligosaccharides (3'-siallylactose, 6-siallylactose, and 6'-sialyl-N-acetyllactosamine) naturally present in bovine colostrum whey permeate. A central composite rotatable design was used. In general, beta-galactosidase activity was favored at pH values ranging from 3.25 to 5.75, with other operational parameters having a less pronounced effect. A pH of 4.5 allowed for the use of a shorter reaction time (19 min), lower temperature (40 degrees C), and reduced amount of enzyme (0.1%), but complete hydrolysis at a higher pH (5.75) required greater values for these operational parameters. The total amount of sialyloligosaccharides was not significantly altered by the reaction parameters evaluated, suggesting specificity of beta-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae toward lactose as well as the stability of the oligosaccharides at pH, temperature, and reaction time evaluated.</P>

In this work, the application of a new, synthesized niobium-based catalyst, called S4 (niobium oxyhydroxide), in the liquid-phase oxidation of methyl-phenyl sulfide (thioanisole) using hydrogen peroxide as oxidant was proposed. The synthetic method employed provided a material with low crystallinity and high specific surface area and acidity. A commercial material, called HY-340 (hydrated niobium oxide), was also employed as heterogeneous catalyst for comparative purposes. The results showed that the synthesized S4 material is an outstanding catalyst, being able to completely convert the substrate (thioanisole) that achieves almost 90% of selectivity for methyl phenyl sulfone formation, under mild reaction conditions. According to the theoretical and experimental combined results, the superior performance of S4 catalyst is related to the better interaction of H2O2 and thioanisole molecules with S4 surface, compared to HY-340, pointing to the greater ability of this catalyst to form reactive oxygen species in contact with hydrogen peroxide, due to its higher content of free hydroxyl groups present on its surface.

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic ability of undergraduate dental students to detect maxillary sinus abnormalities in panoramic radiographs (PR) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study based on the evaluation of PR and CBCT images. A pilot study was conducted to determine the number of students eligible to participate in the study. The images were evaluated by 2 students, and 280 maxillary sinuses were assessed using the following categories: normal, mucosal thickening, sinus polyp, antral pseudocyst, nonspecific opacification, periostitis, antrolith, and antrolith associated with mucosal thickening. The reference standard was established by the consensus of 2 oral radiologists based on the CBCT images. The kappa test, receiver operating characteristic curves, and 1-way analysis of variance with the Tukey-Kramer post-hoc test were employed. Results: Intraobserver and interobserver reliability showed agreement ranging from substantial (0.809) to almost perfect (0.922). The agreement between the students’ evaluations and the reference standard was reasonable (0.258) for PR and substantial (0.692) for CBCT. Comparisons of values of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy showed that CBCT was significantly better (P<0.05). Conclusion: CBCT was better than PR for the detection of maxillary sinus abnormalities by dental students. However, CBCT should only be requested after a careful analysis of PR by students and more experienced professionals.

The aim of this study is to determine the influence of hybrid twill fabrics on the conception of polymer composites in terms of their mechanical properties and fracture mechanisms. Parameters associated with the type and/or process of hybridization, such as the presence or not of anisotropy, are influential factors in the final performance of these materials. For this, two composite laminates were manufactured, each containing four layers of reinforced hybrid twill fabrics made from Kevlar-49/AS4 carbon and Kevlar-49/E-glass fibers, with a high-performance epoxy vinyl ester as matrix. Mechanical properties were performed for uniaxial tensile, three-point bending and uniaxial compression tests. The type of hybrid twill fabric directly affected the mechanical properties and damage mechanism of the laminates studied for all loads applied. Highlight that specimens tested to carbon direction exhibited better mechanical behavior.

In this work, the biodegradation mechanism of phenol and sub products (such as catechol and hydroquinone) in Chromobacterium coli was investigated by cloning and molecular characterization of a phenol monooxygenase gene in Escherichia coli. This gene (Cvmp) is very similar (74 and 59% of similarity and identity, respectively) to the ortholog from Ralstomia eutropha, bacteria capable of utilizing phenol as the sole carbon source. The phenol biodegradation ability of E.coli recombinant strains was tested by cell-growth in a minimal medium containing phenol as the sole source of carbon and release of intermediary metabolites (catechol and hydroquinone). Interestingly, during the growth of these strains on phenol, catechol, and hydroquinone accumulated transiently in the medium. These metabolites were further analyzed by HPLC. These results indicated that phenol can be initially orto or para hydroxylated to produce cathecol or hydroquinone, respectively, followed by meta-cleavage of aromatic rings. To verify this information, the metabolites obtained from HPLC were submitted to LC/MS to confirm their chemical structure, thereby indicating that the recombinant strains utilize two different routes simultaneously, leading to different ring-fission substrates for the metabolism of phenol In this work, the biodegradation mechanism of phenol and sub products (such as catechol and hydroquinone) in Chromobacterium coli was investigated by cloning and molecular characterization of a phenol monooxygenase gene in Escherichia coli.

The spread of Corona virus (COVID-19) is pandemic. As the congress enacted the Bayanihan: to Heal as One Act, officially designated as Republic Act No. 11469, the president implemented the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) in Luzon. Due to ECQ, there is the cessation of work, business, schooling and transportation; so people just stay at home to avoid contagion. It was in this contention that the researchers conducted this study to explore and navigate the thoughts and perspectives of the 15 graduating college students about their lived experiences during the ECQ. The only instrument employed in this research was the closed-fixed interview that covered both factual and meaning-generation level. There were no predetermined questions asked, in order to remain as open and adaptable as possible to the participants’ thoughts and perspectives on the enhanced community quarantine thru their value judgment lenses. The researchers prepared interview questions; participants were asked thru phone calls and skype. Responses were analyzed and categorized to extract their thoughts and perspectives. Conclusions were drawn and future research directions were offered.
