To provide insights into the structural basis of their radical scavenging activity, we calculated the thermodynamic feasibility of two common antioxidant mechanisms, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and single electron transfer followed by proton transfer (SET-PT), using the density functional theory (DFT) with B3LYP/6-311g++(2d,2p) method in the gas phase and implicit solvation model of water. The calculated bond dissociation enthalpies (BDEs) and ionization potential (IP) of all compounds were compared with the corresponding values for resveratrol, a highly potent antioxidant found in red wine. The fully reduced humulone isomer, desdimetyhyl-octahydro-iso-cohumulone, could scavenge free radicals via HAT as revealed by BDEs 5.1 and 23.9 kJ/mol lower than the values for resveratrol in gas phase and water, respectively. Furthermore, the enolic –OH group was identified as the pharmacophoric hotspot for the interaction of humulones with the reactive free radicals. The HAT potency of this group is significantly reduced through the formation of strong intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB) with the β-keto group. Moreover, the SET-PT mechanism was thermodynamically favorable for isoxanthohumol. These results strongly suggest higher antioxidant activity of beers with the increased content of the reduced forms of humulones and their isomers.","PeriodicalId":9171,"journal":{"name":"Book of Proceedings: 1st International Conference on Chemo and BioInformatics,","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74925156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Frizzled 7 receptor (FZD7), as the first protein of Wnt/β-catenin signaling cascade, plays a significant role in regulation of cell differentiation, proliferation, and cell migration. This study aimed to investigate the potential effects of platinum (IV) complex: [PtCl4 (dbu-S, S-eddp)] – C1, and its corresponding ligand – L1 on cell movement, as well as the FZD7 expression and localization after treatments on two human colorectal carcinoma cell lines (HCT-116, SW-480). A Wound healing assay was used to examine cell migration, while FZD7 protein expression was examined by immunofluorescence. Chemical compounds, especially L1, reduced cell motility of both tested cell lines. They showed a particularly good effect on HCT-116 cells, increasing protein expression of the antimigratory marker FZD7 whose localization was observed on the cell membrane of HCT-116 cells. Suppression of cell movement was significantly lower in SW-480 cells after treatments, when compared to HCT-116, with an obvious decrease of FZD7 receptor expression and its localization in the cytoplasm of these cells. Our results indicate that among the examined treatments, the ligand showed more significant results in the suppression of HCT-116 cell movement, most likely through the stimulation of differentiation, which is indicated by the promotion of FZD7 expression.","PeriodicalId":9171,"journal":{"name":"Book of Proceedings: 1st International Conference on Chemo and BioInformatics,","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72739043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite diagnostic and therapeutic development in OC patients’ mortality and morbidity rates remain high with no advancement in the last 50 years. Development of diagnostic tools in identifying pre-cancer lesions and detecting early-stage OC might contribute to minimal invasive treatment/surgery therapy, improving prognosis and survival rates, and maintaining a high quality of life of patients. For this reason, Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms are widely used as a computational aid in tumor classification and segmentation to help clinicians in the earlier discovery of cancer and better monitoring of oral lesions. In this paper, we propose an AI-based system for automatic segmentation of the epithelial and stromal tissue from oral histopathological images in order to assist clinicians in discovering new informative features. In terms of semantic segmentation, the proposed AI system based on preprocessing methods and deep convolutional neural networks produced satisfactory results, with 0.878 ± 0.027 mIOU and 0.955 ± 0.014 F1 score. The obtained results show that the proposed AI-based system has a great potential in diagnosing oral squamous cell carcinoma, therefore, this paper is the first step towards analysing the tumor microenvironment, specifically segmentation of the microenvironment cells.","PeriodicalId":9171,"journal":{"name":"Book of Proceedings: 1st International Conference on Chemo and BioInformatics,","volume":"55 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78618342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these researches, we examined the energy balance of gas consumption in the process of pasteurization four milks with different fat content in them. Research was carried out in “Milkos” Sarajevo’s dairy industry on their production lines. The most optimal energy balance of the pasteurization process is milk with 0.9% mf, then milk with 1.5% and 2.8% of milk fat and in the end milk with 3.2% milk fat had the worst energy balance.

The mycelium could grow, and overcome vanadate presence, up to the concentration of 1.6 mM in the submerged medium. 31P NMR measurements pointed out that vanadate induced changes in the concentration of the crucial metabolite containing phosphorus, particularly sugar phosphates. The major result of vanadate action is evinced through an appearance of a signal positioned at around 2.8 ppm, and an increased signal of hexose- phosphates.

In selected wines, the concentrations of the following compounds were determined and expressed in mg/l of wine. The isolated derivatives were: hydroxybenzoic acids, derivatives of caffeic, ferulic, syringic, and vanillic acids, catechin (flavanol), rutin, myricetin and quercetin (flavonols), and the stilbene derivative-resveratrol.

The results show the content of phenolic compounds in organic wines do not differ qualitatively and quantitatively from those in conventional wines.

Observed kinetics traces follow a single exponential function, suggesting that the process of the substitution undergoes as one reversible step. Also, L-Met was more reactive than GSH. This order is related to the positive inductive effect of the methyl group, which increases the nucleophilicity of the thioether.

We analyzed better coverage of the planning target volume (PTV) and better protection of organs from risk (OAR): bladder, bowel, left femoral head, and right femoral head results and monitor unit (MU). Also, we analyzed the target volume coverage indicators included homogeneity index (HI), and conformity index (CI).

The two types of techniques for making radiotherapy plans, mentioned above, were designed for each patient using the same CT scans. All plans were done on the treatment planning system ECLIPSE- Version 15.6 (Varian). The prescribed dose for all patients was 50 Gy in 25 fractions. The first arc was planned in the clockwise direction and the second in the counter clockwise direction. FIF 3D-CRT plans were obtained by using fields from four different directions with the same isocenter. It was obtained that VMAT plans, compared to the FIF 3D-CRT, achieved better coverage of the PTV (D95%), better heterogeneity, and conformity.
