This clinical pathology is associated with the activation/release of various biomolecules, including the Janus kinase family (JAKs). It is important to mention that some studies indicate that some JAK inhibitors (ruxolitinib and tofacitinib) may have a significant effect on some autoimmune diseases and cancer; however, some of these drugs can produce secondary effects such as herpes zoster, infectious, acute respiratory distress and others. The aim of this study was to evaluate the interaction of coumarin and its derivatives (compounds 2 to 24) with the JAK-3 surface. In this way, the Interaction of coumarin and their derivatives with JAK-3 was determined using the 3pjc protein and either decernotinib or tofacitinib drugs as theoretical tools on DockinServer program. The results showed differences in the aminoacid residues involved in the interaction of coumarin and their derivatives with 3pjc protein surface compared with decernotinib and tofacitinib. Besides, the inhibition constant (Ki) for coumarin derivatives 7, 9 and 10 was lower compared with tofacitinib. However, Ki was lower for 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 24 compared with decernotinib. In conclusion, the coumarin derivatives 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 24 could be good alternatives as JAK-3 inhibitors to decrease cancer cells growth.\u0000 \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":9244,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74131080","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our communication systems have become faster and more dependable as a result of the explosion of gadgets and services. But, these upgrades come at a price. The power consumption is one of the most worrying costs. In recent years, the solution involved installing larger, more powerful batteries—so long as doing so did not limit mobility. Today's economic and environmental problems compel us to consider alternative solutions, like methods for lowering the power consumption of digital devices. This study focuses on using digital circuits, which promise to deliver good energy efficiency and desirable performance at very low voltage savings. Certain digital switches are allegedly redundant and not required for the circuit to function properly, yet they continue to use energy. So, one of the primary issues for low power design is reducing such redundant switches. Subthreshold conduction in digital circuits is typically seen as a “parasitic” leakage in a condition where there should ideally be no conduction. Sub-threshold activities thereby reduce the problem of lowering power consumption, but do so at the expense of system throughput deterioration, fluctuations in system stability and functionality, temperature variations, and most critically, design space utilization. In order to minimize some of these redundant switches and to make circuits more energy-efficient while maintaining functionality, this study suggests two novel techniques. It uses an optimization method based on threshold voltage change to reduce glitch power. A glitch-free circuit netlist is created using an algorithm, while still maintaining the requisite delay performance. Using this approach results in a 6.14% overall reduction in energy consumption.","PeriodicalId":9244,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84137201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This growth results from the increasing use of innovative technologies in oral care. Since the 1970s, dental implants have continuously evolved, both in terms of shape and surface treatments. This evolution aims to improve osseointegration, an essential process for implant success, and prevent complications such as peri-implantitis. A necessary part of this evolutionary process is surface treatment on dental implants. This treatment improves implant surfaces' physical and chemical properties, promoting a more efficient interaction between the implant and surrounding tissues. To achieve this goal, modifications are made to the texture, composition, and characteristics of the implant surface. In this context, this study aims to identify the research gaps related to surface treatment on dental implants. To this end, a literature review was performed in the Scopus database using specific search terms related to this topic. The 20 most cited articles from 2017 to 2023, which address the main research trends in this area, were selected for analysis. The theoretical contribution of this study is to systematize the current research trends on the surface treatment of dental implants. This provides a better understanding of existing treatments and their limitations and presents ongoing studies that aim to overcome them. Furthermore, the research highlights studies under development, both in vitro and in vivo, that seek to apply scientific advances in clinical practice to improve implant outcomes. This applied contribution is relevant, as it can positively impact clinical practice and benefit patients.","PeriodicalId":9244,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76056043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
