Conclusions are made based on enthalpy values, as thermodynamical parameters. All calculations are done using the M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. To imitate polar and non-polar environments, calculations are done in water and benzene as the medium. It is found that, among three possible radicals that TX can generate, the most stable is the one obtained by homolytic cleavage of the O-H group in position 4. It was found that HAT (Hydrogen Atom Transfer) is the most plausible mechanism for that purpose in benzene. On the other hand, the most favorable mechanism in water is SPLET (Sequential Proton Loss Electron Transfer). Here is estimated the capacity of TX to deactivate hydroxyl (HO●), hydroperoxyl (HOO●) and methylperoxyl radical (CH3OO●). It is found that TX can deactivate all three free radicals following HAT and SPLET reaction mechanisms competitively, in the polar and non-polar environment. SET-PT (Single-Electron Transfer followed by Proton Transfer) is the inoperative mechanism for radicals scavenging, in the polar and non-polar environment.","PeriodicalId":9171,"journal":{"name":"Book of Proceedings: 1st International Conference on Chemo and BioInformatics,","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85346116","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}

Standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 at a concentration of 0.312 mg/mL and Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 at a concentration of 1.25 mg/mL showed the highest sensitivity to the ethanol extract of M. piperita. Ethanol extract of M. officinalis showed antibacterial activity on standard strains of S. aureus ATCC 25923 and B. subtilis ATCC 6633 at a concentration of 0.625 mg/mL. In addition to the mentioned standard strains, it showed activity on the isolate from the food Proteus spp. at a concentration of 0.312 mg/mL and isolate from the wound Proteus mirabilis at a concentration of 0.625 mg/mL. Mechanism of action of the ethanol extract of M. officinalis was examined on the permeability of the bacterial cell membrane. The effect of the extract on the increased permeability of the cell membrane was measured based on the release of proteins and the percentage of crystal violet binding.

The genera with the largest number of the registered taxa are Dendrobaena (8) and Aporrectodea (7). A third of all species are peregrines (37.93%). Trans-Aegean species take part with 13.8%, followed by endemic, Central European, Balkanic-Alpine (10.34%). Then follow Illyric (6.90%) and slightly less Moesian, Circum- Mediterranean, and Southern-Alpine (3.45%). Endemic species take a part with three taxa. Only one species (Allolobophora mehadiensis boscaiui (Pop, 1948)) is Dacian endemic. The obtained results indicate a diverse Lumbricidae fauna.

Dosimetric indices for PTVs and OARs were calculated. Also, the dose coverage, homogeneity index, conformity index of the target, and the dose volumes of critical structures were analyzed. A sample of seven patients who were selected randomly treated in University Clinical Center Kragujevac between 2019 and 2020 was selected for the study. Therapy plans for both techniques were made with an ECLIPSE treatment planning system for each patient based on the same images and contours. The hybrid IMRT technique consists of two static opposed tangential fields and four optimized IMRT fields (dose ratio 70:30). For 3D-CRT planning, one isocenter with half-beam blocked tangential fields with wedges was used. All treatment plans were generated with 6 MV photon beam. Hybrid IMRT plans compared to the 3D-CRT resulted in better dose delivered to 95% (D95) of the planning target volume (PTV) and better heterogeneity HI and conformity CI. Protection for critical organs such as the heart, lungs, and contralateral breast is slightly worse than those obtained by 3D-CRT.","PeriodicalId":9171,"journal":{"name":"Book of Proceedings: 1st International Conference on Chemo and BioInformatics,","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81125897","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}

The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of laser speed and formulation factors on printability and characteristics of SLS irbesartan tablets. Physical mixtures of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (46-91%), Candurin® Gold Sheen (3%), colloidal silicon dioxide (1%), and irbesartan (5%) were prepared. Afterward, crospovidone (1-5%), Kollidon®VA 64 Fine (20%), and/or lactose monohydrate (20-45%) were added. Sintratec Kit SLS printer (Sintratec AG, Switzerland) was used for printing tablets. The decision tree model was applied to classify printability factors. Characterization of tablets was done in terms of physicochemical, mechanical and biopharmaceutical characteristics. Correlation between formulation factors, laser speed, and printability was obtained using decision tree model with an accuracy of 80%. FTIR results revealed that there was no interaction between irbesartan and applied excipients. DSC indicated that irbesartan was present in an amorphous form in printed tablets. It was observed that laser speed had a negative effect on weight. Tuning the drug release by laser speed was possible although lactose monohydrate reduced its impact because it was required higher energy for the sintering process. Results suggest that decision tree could be useful tool for predicting the printability of pharmaceutical formulations. Tailoring characteristics of SLS irbesartan tablets by laser speed is possible, however, it needs to be governed by the composition of the whole formulation.","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":"74859321","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}

HIPEC is a cancer treatment procedure that involves filling the abdominal cavity with chemotherapy drugs that have been heated (also known as “hot chemotherapy”). HIPEC is performed after the surgical procedure of removing tumors or lesions from the abdominal area. In the past 30 years, the approach of combining CRS with minimal residual disease and intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy emerged as one with a potential for long-term survival. Multiple strategies have been employed to measure the functional peritoneal surface area and determine the required perfusion volume. For that purpose, we have developed a novel computational model (consisted from peritoneal cavity with immersed organs, generated from STL files), with precisely calculated functional peritoneal surface area and cavity volume (for each patient). Using finite element procedure, we have managed to model a heat transfer inside the cavity, coupled with fluid flow. Further, we summarized solutions for velocity and temperature field, obtained using our software package PAK accompanied by the visualization in-house CAD software. Aim is to develop a novel protocol to calculate optimal volume of perfusion that could be easily integrated into the preoperative procedure and to help surgeons to deliver a precise dose of chemotherapy to the peritoneum cavity.","PeriodicalId":9171,"journal":{"name":"Book of Proceedings: 1st International Conference on Chemo and BioInformatics,","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91530026","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}
