Whereas, thermal stability of the HSA was reduced in the presence of complex. Also, thermal analysis obtained the values of ΔG°25 for HSA and HSA in presence of Pt [Iso]2 20, 13, respectively. According to the above results, we concluded that the new synthesized Pt complex can bind to the blood carrier protein of HSA and change the stability of it which can be considered in the design of new drugs.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.A coupling system of sodium citrate and biofilm based on polyurethane was prepared to analyse the coupling enhancement degradation on quinoline and indole. Four reactors (R1 sludge, R2 sludge + sodium citrate, R3 biofilm on polyurethane, and R4 biofilm + sodium citrate) were operated 120 days to compare the degradation efficiency. During whole running phases, R4 showed high degradation efficiency on quinoline (≥98.55%) and indole (≥95.44%). Analysis of bacterial colony showed anaerobic sludge reactors benefited the enrichment of Aminicenantes, Levilinea, and Longilinea, while anaerobic biofilm reactors benefited the enrichment of Giesbergeria and Comamonas. Furthermore, analysis of archaea colony showed acetic acid metabolism to produce methane was the main mode in anaerobic sludge reactors, while acetic acid and hydrogen metabolism to produce methane were both the main modes in biofilm reactors. This study can provide some references for the treatment of nitrogen heterocyclic wastewater.Following upper extremity injury, exercise-approaches are commonly used to address motor impairments. Occupation-based approaches are also used but less widely promoted and their mechanisms of action not well-understood. Movement performed during purposeful activities and occupations may yield better motor performance than during nonpurposeful tasks. This review investigated the influence of engagement in purposeful activities and occupations on upper extremity motor performance in healthy and musculoskeletal populations. Databases were searched for studies in healthy or upper extremity musculoskeletal-injured adults that compared motor performance during purposeful activities against nonpurposeful movements. Twenty-one studies of moderate quality, conducted predominantly in healthy populations, were included. Upper extremity movement quantity and quality were enhanced when performed during purposeful conditions. Purposeful activities have potential to be used following injury to enhance movement and address motor impairments to a greater extent than is currently promoted. Research in musculoskeletal populations is required.A growing body of research has made it increasingly clear that there are substantial biological differences between fetal/neonatal and adult megakaryopoiesis. Over the last decade, studies revealed a developmentally unique uncoupling of proliferation, polyploidization, and cytoplasmic maturation in neonatal MKs that results in the production of large numbers of small, low ploidy, but mature MKs during this period of development, and identified substantial molecular differences between fetal/neonatal and adult MKs. This review will summarize our current knowledge on the developmental differences between fetal/neonatal and adult MKs, and recent advances in our understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms, including newly described developmentally regulated pathways and miRNAs. We will also discuss the implications of these findings on the ways MKs interact with the environment, the response of neonates to thrombocytopenia, the pathogenesis of Down syndrome-transient myeloproliferative disorder (TMD), and the developmental stage specific-manifestations of congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia.The purpose of this research was to assess the variability of the oxygen consumption (VO2) depending on fin type and the flutter technique used for the different divers’ profile. Twenty-three SCUBA divers took part in four 2.5 hour sessions to evaluate a total of six fin models and two flutter techniques. The flutter routines lasted 30 minutes per fin and per technique. Measurements of VO2 significantly decreased on Jet (20.42 ml*min-1*kg-1) and XShot fin (20.87 ml*min-1*kg-1) compared to Twin Jet fin (22.81 ml, p  less then  0.05). In addition, the VO2 was in all cases higher in certified divers than in professional divers (23.87 and 19.00 ml*min-1*kg-1, p = 0.00). These differences were significant between divers’ profile and flutter technique (p  less then  0.05). Similarly, measurements of VO2 were higher in frog kick technique than crawl kick technique (22.97 ml*min-1*kg-1 and 19.96 ml*min-1*kg-1, p = 0.00). These differences were significant between fin type and flutter technique in all fins (p = 0.03). Practitioner summary This study investigated the impact of fin type, flutter technique and divers’ profile on VO2 during diving. Results of this research suggest that combination a diving different factors significantly impacts the divers’ VO2, thus providing new perspective for election of fin type and flutter technique according to the divers’ profile.Slaughterhouse processes produce substantial amounts of high organic strength wastewater due to high COD level. A fundamental work had been carried out to explore the removal of COD from actual poultry slaughterhouse wastewater by ultrasound irradiation. The effect of applied frequency, power density, irradiation time, pH, and adding H2O2 on COD removal was investigated. selleck The COD removal reached ultimate levels after irradiation time of 180 min. The COD removal percentage increased from 2% to 43% and from 2% to 49% when the power density increased from 160 to 1200 W/L at working frequencies of 1142 and 578 kHz, respectively. Increasing the pH from 7 to 9 reduced the COD removal from 51% to 13%. At low power densities, the high frequency (1142 kHz) was more efficient in COD removal than low frequency (578 kHz) and vice versa at high power densities. A combined system of US and H2O2 was more effective in removing COD than US standalone system. Finally, the kinetics of the COD decay using sonication was found to obey the first-order model.
