RESUMO

The absolute shortage of compatible liver donors and the growing number of potential recipients have led scientists to explore alternative approaches to providing tissue/ organ substitutes from bioengineered sources. Bioartificial regeneration of a fully functional tissue/organ replacement is highly dependent on the right combination of engineering tools, biological principles, and materiobiology horizons. Over the past two decades, remarkable achievements have been made in hepatic tissue engineering by converging various advanced interdisciplinary research approaches. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has arisen as a promising state-of-the-art tool with strong potential to fabricate volumetric liver tissue/organ equivalents using viscosity- and degradation-controlled printable bioinks composed of hydrous microenvironments, and formulations containing living cells and associated supplements. Source of origin, biophysiochemical, or thermomechanical properties and crosslinking reaction kinetics are prerequisites for ideal bioink formulation and realizing the bioprinting process. In this review, we delve into the forecast of the potential future utility of bioprinting technology and the promise of tissue/organ- specific decellularized biomaterials as bioink substrates. Afterward, we outline various methods of decellularization, and the most relevant studies applying decellularized bioinks toward the bioengineering of in vitro liver models. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of decellularized material-based bioprinting in the direction of clinical regenerative medicine are presented to motivate further developments.

RESUMO

Cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSC) is expected to rise to become the fourth most prevalent cancer in women globally and to replace breast cancer as the top cause of death in women in the future years, according to the World Health Organization. According to the World Health Organization, developing countries are responsible for 86 percent of all cervical cancer cases globally in women aged 15 to 44 (WHO). Cancer mortality is associated with the largest amount of monotonous antecedent in low- and middle-income nations, while cancer mortality is associated with the least amount of monotonous antecedent in high-income countries. Cervical cancer is thought to be caused by aberrant proliferation of cells in the cervix that is capable of stealing or invading other human organs, according to current thinking. Cancer of the cerebral cell is the most prevalent kind of cancer in women. It is expected that cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSC) will be the fourth most frequent cancer in the world and the main cause of death in women by the year 2050. Despite the fact that technology has improved tremendously since then, this is still the case. When compared to high-income countries, low- and middle-income countries have the highest consistent antecedent for cancer mortality, according to the World Cancer Research Fund. Cancerous growths of cells in the cervix, such as cervical cancer, are caused by cells that have the ability to steal from or invade auxiliary organs of the body, as is the case with cervical cancer. Although technological advances have been made in recent years, gene expression profiling continues to be a prominent approach in the investigation of cervical cancer. Since then, researchers have had the opportunity to examine a gene coexpression network, which has evolved into an exceptionally comprehensive technique for microarray research. This has helped them to get a better understanding of the human genome. When a specific biological issue is addressed, gene coexpression networks retain a considerable percentage of their once vast component of physiognomy, which was previously immense. When comparing the properties of genes in a population, it is well known that feature selection may be used to choose genes that outperform the rest of the genes in the population. There are several benefits to feature selection, and this is only one of them. Typically used gene selection approaches have been shown to be insufficient in acquiring the best potential sequence of genes for training purposes, and as a result, the accuracy of the classifier has likely suffered as a result of this. Recently, a considerable number of scientists have advocated for the use of optimization approaches in the process of gene selection, and this trend is expected to continue. A metaheuristic algorithm may be used to choose a suitable subset of genes, according to the preceding assertion, which is also consistent with the metaheuristic approach. A Modified Probabilistic Neural Network differs from other networks in that the underlying gene expression associated with DEGs and standard data in a Modified Probabilistic Neural Network is not uniformly distributed as it is in other networks (MPN). As previously said, selecting the most relevant genes or repeating genes is a vital step in the prediction process. It was this technique that was used in the research of cervical cancer. Since then, researchers have had the opportunity to examine a gene coexpression network, which has evolved into an exceptionally comprehensive technique for microarray research. This has helped them to get a better understanding of the human genome. When a specific biological issue is addressed, gene coexpression networks are able to preserve a previously major section of the face that had been lost. When comparing the properties of genes in a population, it is well known that feature selection may be used to choose genes that outperform the rest of the genes in the population. There are several benefits to feature selection, and this is only one of them. Typically used gene selection approaches have been shown to be insufficient in acquiring the best potential sequence of genes for training purposes, and as a result, the accuracy of the classifier has likely suffered as a result of this. In the field of gene selection, several scholars have argued in favor of the employment of optimization approaches. A metaheuristic algorithm may be used to choose a suitable subset of genes, according to the preceding assertion, which is also consistent with the metaheuristic approach. It was discovered that Modified Probabilistic Neural Networks (MPNs) had a different distribution of gene expression linked with DEGs and normal data than other networks, which had not been previously seen. This was previously unknown. Following what has been said before, selecting the most appropriate or repeated genes is a critical task throughout the prediction process.

RESUMO

A radio communication sensor system is a collection of sensor modules that are connected to one another through wireless communication. It is common for them to be battery-powered and responsive to a nearby controller, referred to as the base station. They are capable of doing basic computations and transferring information to the base station in most scenarios. They are also in charge of transporting data from distant nodes, putting a burden on nodes with limited resources, and contributing to the quick depletion of energy in these nodes in the process. Nodes in close proximity to the base station are responsible for more than only detecting and sending data to the base station; they are also responsible for transmitting data from faraway nodes. To reward nodes that perform well, a protocol known as the Improved Fuzzy Inspired Energy Effective Protocol (IFIEEP) employs three separate sorts of nodes in order to provide more energy to those who do not. It takes into account the remaining node energy, the node's proximity to the base station, the node's neighbor concentration, and the node's centrality in a cluster when determining node viability. All of these assumptions are founded on a shaky understanding of the situation. Adaptive clustering must be applied to the most viable nodes in order to identify cluster leaders and transmit data to the base station, in addition to disseminating data across the rest of the network, in order to achieve success. In addition, the research provides proper heterogeneity parameters, which describe, among other things, the number of nodes as well as the starting energy of each node. The percentage gain in-network lifetime when compared to current approaches is minor for smaller numbers of supernodes; however, the percentage gain in the area covered 12.89 percent and 100% when more significant numbers of super nodes are used. These improvements in stability, residual energy, and throughput are accomplished by combining these improvements while also taking into consideration the previously neglected energy-intensive sensing energy aspect. The protocol that has been presented is meant to be used in conjunction with applications that make use of blockchain technology.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Oxidative stress is considered as a possible molecular mechanism involved in lead (Pb(2+)) neurotoxicity. Very few studies have been investigated on the occurrence of oxidative stress in developing animals due to Pb(2+) exposure. Considering the vulnerability of the developing brain to Pb(2+), this study was carried out to investigate the effects of Pb(2+) exposure in brain regions especially on antioxidant enzyme activities along with ameliorative effects of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and clinoptilolite. METHODS: Three-week old developing Swiss mice Mus musculus were intraperitoneally administered with Pb(2+) acetate in water (w/v) (100 mg/kg body weight/day) for 21 days and control group was given distilled water. Further Pb(2+)-toxicated mice were made into two subgroups and separately supplemented with EDTA and clinoptilolite (100 mg/kg body weight) for 2 weeks. RESULTS: In Pb(2+)-exposed mice, in addition to increased lipid peroxidation, the activity levels of catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione (GSH) found to decrease in all regions of brain indicating, existence of severe oxidative stress due to decreased antioxidant function. Treatment of Pb(2+)-exposed mice with EDTA and clinoptilolite lowered the lipid peroxidation (LPO) levels revealing their antioxidant potential to prevent oxidative stress. Similarly their administration led to recover the level of catalase, SOD, and GPx enzymes affected during Pb(2+) toxicity in different regions of brain. CONCLUSIONS: The protection of brain tissue against Pb(2+)-induced toxicity by clinoptilolite and EDTA in the present experiment might be due to their ability to react faster with peroxyl radicals there by reducing the severity of biochemical variable indicative of oxidative damage. Thus, the results of present study indicate the neuroprotective potential of clinoptilolite and EDTA against Pb(2+) toxicity.
