RESUMEN
PURPOSE: To introduce a computational tool for peri-interventional intracranial aneurysm treatment guidance that maps preoperative planning information from simulation onto real-time X-Ray imaging. METHODS: Preoperatively, multiple flow diverter (FD) devices are simulated based on the 3D mesh of the vessel to treat, to choose the optimal size and location. In the peri-operative stage, this 3D information is aligned and mapped to the continuous 2D-X-Ray scan feed from the operating room. The current flow diverter position in the 3D model is estimated by automatically detecting the distal FD marker locations and mapping them to the treated vessel. This allows to visually assess the possible outcome of releasing the device at the current position, and compare it with the one chosen pre-operatively. RESULTS: The full pipeline was validated using retrospectively collected biplane images from four different patients (5 3D-DSA datasets in total). The distal FD marker detector obtained an average F1-score of 0.67 ( ± 0.224 ) in 412 2D-X-Ray scans. After aligning 3D-DSA + 2D-X-Ray datasets, the average difference between simulated and deployed positions was 0.832 mm ( ± 0.521 mm). Finally, we qualitatively show that the proposed approach is able to display the current location of the FD compared to their pre-operatively planned position. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed method allows to support the FD deployment procedure by merging and presenting preoperative simulation information to the interventionists, aiding them to make more accurate and less risky decisions.
RESUMEN
Objetivo: evaluar la capacidad emulsificante de almidón nativo, hidrolizados e hidrolizadosËlipofilizados a partir del tubérculo de ñame (Dioscorea rotundata). Método: el almidón se obtuvo por el método de rayado y decantación convencionales. Se evaluó el almidón de ñame nativo, que se hidrolizó en medio ácido (40 g almidón+100 mL Agua+3.4 g HCl por 6 horas a 50 °C). Parte del almidón hidrolizado se lipofilizó a dos niveles (10 y 15 mL) mediante reacción con anhídrido dodecenil succínico (DDSA). La capacidad emulsificante se calculó mezclando 25 mL de aceite de maíz, 25 mL de agua y 1 g de almidón por triplicado con fuerte homogenización ( Ultra Turrax®), midiéndose la cantidad de material aún emulsificado luego de 24 horas. Resultados: se apreciaron variaciones de las propiedades en la comparación del almidón nativo. Los porcentajes de sustitución de los almidones, se observa fácilmente la tendencia esperada, es decir, en tanto mayor cantidad de reactivo, mayor sustitución. Se demuestra que la lipofilización del almidón incrementa su capacidad emulsificante. Conclusiones: los almidones lipofilizados con anhidro dodecenil succínico (DDSA) pueden considerarse una nueva alternativa de materia prima en la industria cosmética(AU)
Objectives: to assess the emulsifying capacity of the native starch, the hydrolyzed and hydrolyzed-lipophilyzed products from the tuber Yam (Dioscorea rotundata), Methods: the starch was obtained by the conventional method of grating and decant. Native yam starch was evaluated. It was hydrolyzed in an acid medium (40 g starch+100 mL water+3,4 g HCl for 6 hours at 50 °C). Part of the hydrolyzed starch was lipophilyzed at two levels (10 and 15 mL) through reaction with dodecenyl succinic anhydride (DDSA). The emulsifying capacity was calculated by mixing 25 mL of corn oil, 25 mL of water and 1 g of starch in triplicate with strong homogenization (Ultra Turrax®), and the amount of material still emulsified after 24 hours was then measured. Results: there were observed variations in the native starch properties. It was easy to observe the expected tendency in the substitution percentages of starches, that is, the more reagent, the more substitution. The results showed that the lipophilitation of starch increases the emulsifying capacity. Conclusions: the starches lipophilyzed with dodecenyl succinic anhydride (DDSA) are raw materials that can be considered as a new alternative in the cosmetics industry(AU)

Los aceites esenciales son conocidos por sus numerosas actividades biológicas y organolépticas, pero su empleo suele verse limitado por su alta volatilidad y tendencia a degradarse. La microencapsulación es una estrategia válida para superar estos inconvenientes. En este trabajo se empleó almidón de ñame (D. rotundata), el cual fue sometido a procesos de hidrólisis y lipofilización, empleando anhídrido dodecenilsuccínico (DDSA); esto incrementó significativamente las capacidades captadora de aceite y emulsificante (tensoactiva) del almidón nativo, el cual se empleó para microencapsular aceite esencial de tomillo, que en estudios previos demostró potente actividad antibacteriana sobre las cepas involucradas en el desarrollo del acné. La microencapsulación se llevó a cabo por microparticulación lipídica sólida, seguida de emulsificación. Esta alcanzó una eficiencia superior al 98%, y el producto obtenido, desafiado en diversas pruebas, demostró capacidad de retener más del 90% del aceite esencial en condiciones de evaporación, evitando su oxidación y el cambio en su perfil de composición. Finalmente, las microcápsulas de aceites esenciales de tomillo, al ponerse en contacto con las bacterias del acné, mantuvieron su actividad bactericida. Los resultados de este trabajo aportan al desarrollo de formulaciones farmacéuticas, cosméticas y alimentarias estables y funcionales de aceites esenciales, al protegerlos de la evaporación y degradación.
Essential oils are known for their numerous biological and organoleptic activities, but their use is often limited by high volatility and tendency to degrade. Microencapsulation is a valid strategy to overcome these drawbacks. In this paper starch yam (D. rotundata) was used, which was subjected to hydrolysis processes and lipophilization using dodecenyl succinic (DDSA) anhydride, this significantly increased the scavenging capacity of oil and emulsifier (surfactant) of native starch, which was used to microencapsulate thyme essential oil, that in previous studies showed potent antibacterial activity on strains involved in the development of acne. Microencapsulation was conducted by microparticulation solid lipid, followed by emulsification. This reached an efficiency of over 98%, and the product obtained, challenged by various trials, demonstrated ability to hold more than 90% of essential oil under evaporation conditions, avoiding oxidation and change in composition profile. Finally, the microcapsules of essential oil of thyme at contact the acne bacteria, maintained its bactericidal activity. The results of this study contribute to the development of pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food formulations stable and functional based on essential oils, to protect degradation and evaporation.
