Growth of InAs Quantum Dots on Germanium Substrate Using Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition Technique
No full textAbstract Self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) were grown on germanium substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition technique. Effects of growth temperature and InAs coverage on the size, density, and height of quantum dots were investigated. Growth temperature was varied from 400 to 450 °C and InAs coverage was varied between 1.40 and 2.35 monolayers (MLs). The surface morphology and structural characteristics of the quantum dots analyzed by atomic force microscope revealed that the density of the InAs quantum dots first increased and then decreased with the amount of InAs coverage; whereas density decreased with increase in growth temperature. It was observed that the size and height of InAs quantum dots increased with increase in both temperature and InAs coverage. The density of QDs was effectively controlled by growth temperature and InAs coverage on GaAs buffer layer.</p
Avaliação da atividade antitumoral do extrato bruto e supercrítico de Cordia verbenacea
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Biológicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Bioquímica, Florianópolis, 2010O câncer está entre as causas mais freqüentes de morte no mundo. É considerado um importante problema de saúde pública em países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento, sendo a segunda causa de morte no Brasil e no mundo, superado somente pelas doenças do sistema cardiovascular. Apesar disto até o momento não existe uma terapia efetiva para o tratamento de todos os tipos de câncer além de que a maioria dos quimioterápicos em uso apresentam elevada toxicidade. Esforços vêm sendo dirigidos no sentido de desenvolver fármacos antitumorais tão ou mais eficazes do que os quimioterápicos já disponíveis, porém com menor toxicidade e potencial para desenvolver resistência terapêutica. Muitos dos medicamentos utilizados atualmente resultaram da purificação de produtos naturais, principalmente vegetais. Neste contexto, o presente projeto objetivou avaliar o potencial antitumoral de Cordia verbenacea planta medicinal brasileira, vulgarmente conhecida como erva baleeira que é popularmente utilizada em Santa Catarina para tratamento de tumores e inflamações. Para se atingir tal objetivo foram realizados experimentos para avaliar a atividade citotóxica e antiproliferativa in vitro e antitumoral in vivo. Para tanto, realizou-se os ensaios de viabilidade celular (MTT) em células de tumor ascítico de Ehrlich (TAE) e MCF-7, proliferação celular (incorporação de [3H] timidina) e capacidade pró-poptótica (Brometo de etídio/Laranja de acridina (BE/LA)) em células TAE. Além disso, verificou-se o possível efeito dos extratos sobre o DNA plasmidial (atividade nucleásica) assim como a capacidade protetora do extrato sobre o DNA (com a geração de espécies reativas de oxigênio com Fe-EDTA). Foi avaliada a expressão da COX-2 através de Wertern blot em células MCF-7. A determinação da atividade antitumoral in vivo foi realizada em camundongos Balb/c inoculados com o TAE e tratados com extrato bruto (EB) e supercrítico (ESC) nas concentrações de 37,5; 75 e 150 mg/Kg. Nos ensaios do MTT e incorporação de timidina triciada os resultados demonstraram que o EB e ESC reduziram de maneira significativa a viabilidade e proliferação celular. A coloração com BE/LA revelou que o provável tipo de morte celular induzida pelos tratamentos trata-se de apoptose, uma vez que a grande maioria das células adquiriram uma coloração laranja-avermelhada, característica de células apoptóticas. Os extratos mostraram-se ineficazes no teste de ativação nucleásica. O ESC foi capaz de reduzir significativamente a expressão da COX-2 em células MCF-7. Os ensaios in vivo demonstram que tanto EB quanto ESC apresentaram efeitos antitumorais, sendo os melhores resultados observados para a dose de 150 mg/Kg. O tratamento com os extratos também causou importante inibição do crescimento tumoral nos camundongos, principalmente o ESC. EB e ESC elevaram a proporção de células inviáveis/viáveis em mais de duas vezes quando comparado ao controle negativo. EB e ESC aumentaram o tempo médio de sobrevida e a concentração de GSH. De acordo com os resultados podemos concluir que ESC apresentou atividade antitumoral mais potente que o extrato bruto. Os resultados obtidos foram favoráveis à validação da utilidade de C. verbenacea como potencial agente antitumoral. Além disso, foi considerado que o método de extração supercrítica pode aprimorar a atividade antitumoral de C. verbenacea, como demonstrado com os resultados apresentados acima, uma vez que estes efeitos provavelmente se devam à presença de ?-humuleno e ?-cariofileno presente nos extratos, especialmente no extrato supercrítico. Também a partir dos resultados obtidos podemos supor que um possível mecanismo de ação antitumoral dos extratos possa ser a redução da expressão da COX-2, o que poderia levar a um bloqueio da sobrevivência celular e indução da apoptose

Clinical characteristics and novel mutations of omicron subvariant XBB in Tamil Nadu, India–a cohort study
No full textBackground Despite the continued vaccination efforts, there had been a surge in breakthrough infections, and the emergence of the B.1.1.529 omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 in India. There is a paucity of information globally on the role of newer XBB variants in community transmission. Here, we investigated the mutational patterns among hospitalised patients infected with the XBB omicron sub-variant, and checked if there was any association between the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases and the observed novel mutations in Tamil Nadu, India. Methods Nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs, collected from symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID-19 patients were subjected to real-time PCR followed by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to rule out the ambiguity of mutations in viruses isolated from the patients (n = 98). Using the phylogenetic association, the mutational patterns were used to corroborate clinico-demographic characteristics and disease severity among the patients. Findings Overall, we identified 43 mutations in the S gene across 98 sequences, of which two were novel mutations (A27S and T747I) that have not been reported previously with XBB sub-variants in the available literature. Additionally, the XBB sequences from our cohort had more mutations than omicron B.1.1.529. The phylogenetic analysis comprising six major branches clearly showed convergent evolution of XBB. Our data suggests that age, and underlying conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease) or secondary complications confers increased susceptibility to infection rather than vaccination status or prior exposure. Many vaccinated individuals showed evidence of a breakthrough infection, with XBB.3 being the predominant variant identified in the study population. Interpretation Our study indicates that the XBB variant is highly evasive from available vaccines and may be more transmissible, and potentially could emerge as the 'next' predominant variant, which likely could overwhelm the existing variants of SARS-CoV-2 omicron variants.Funding National Health Mission (India), SIDA SARC, VINNMER (Sweden), ORIP/NIH (USA).Copyright (c) 2023 The Author(s).
