The tadpole of Quasipaa boulangeri was taken as the research object in this paper. The toxic effects of cypermethrin-chlorpyrifos and butachlor on tadpole of Q.boulangeri were studied by acute toxicity experiment and subchronic toxicity experiment in order to master the toxicity of different types of pesticides on tadpole of Q.boulangeri and provide scientific basis for amphibian protection. The results of acute toxicity experiment were analyzed by the method of probability unit regression analysis. The results of the acute toxicity experiment were analyzed by means of the probability-unit regression analysis method, and the LC50 of cypermethrin-chlorpyrifos and butachlor to the 2-month-old frog tadpoles at 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h were 0.419, 0.357, 0.346L, 0.332 and 1.183, 1.108, 0.925 and 0.876(mg/L), respectively. In the subchronic toxicity experiment, we observed the accumulation effect of different concentrations of pesticides on tadpoles through the statistics of the growth and development of tadpoles exposed to the drugs for a long time. The results suggested that the body length and body weight of tadpoles increased slowly with the increase of time and concentration of pesticide in the solution during the experiment.

Purpose: Performing a safety study of a radiopharmaceutical drug with yttrium-90 for intra-arterial radioembolization of inoperable patients with primary and metastatic liver cancer. Material and methods: The developed radiopharmaceutical is a microspheres of human blood albumin with a diameter of 25-40 microns, modified with diethylenetriaminpentaacetic acid and labeled with 90Y radionuclide. The safety of the radiopharmaceutical was studied by the following indicators: acute toxicity of lyophilized reagents, subchronic toxicity of the radiopharmaceutical on two types of animals, local irritant effect of the radiopharmaceutical therapeutic activity in equivalent terms on laboratory animals, specific toxicity (allergizing effect) of lyophilized reagents for the preparation of a radiopharmaceutical drug. Female and male BALB/C mice, Wistar rats, chinchilla rabbits, and albino Guinea pigs were taken as experimental animals. All animals were obtained from certified laboratory animal nurseries. Results: During acute toxicity studies, the maximum safe dose of an inactive drug was determined. In terms of per person, it exceeds the intended dose for clinical use by almost 20 times. The study of the subchronic toxicity of the radiopharmaceutical did not reveal any symptoms of intoxication. The survival rate of the animals during the entire observation period was absolute. Standard behavior and appearance were observed in animals. The dynamics of body weight was positive, and the body temperature of rats and rabbits did not exceed the limits allowed. Samples of the finished dosage form of the drug did not have a local irritant effect. The solution of inactive components of lyophilized reagents for the preparation of a radiopharmaceutical drug did not have an allergenic effect in quantities ten times higher than the doses administered to a person. Conclusion: According to the results of preclinical studies, the radiopharmaceutical should be considered safe for use. The results of preclinical studies allow us to recommend the drug for clinical research.

Most of biochemical reactions in the body generates Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which are involved in the pathogenesis of oxidative stress-related disorders like diabetes, nephrotoxicity, cancer, cardiovascular disorders, inflammation and neurological disorders when they attack biochemical molecules like proteins, lipids and nucleic acid. Antioxidants are used to protect the cells or tissues against potential attack by ROS. Most medicinal plants possess a rich source of antioxidants such as flavonoids, phenols, tannins, alkaloids among others. These phytochemicals are currently pursued as an alternative and complimentary drug. In this study, phytochemical components, antioxidant and acute toxicity study of the methanol extract of stem bark and root of F. sycomorus were carried out using standard methods. Findings from this study revealed the presence of some diagnostic microscopical features such as calcium oxalate, starch, gum/mucilage, lignin, Aleurone grain, suberized/Cuticular cell wall and inulin but calcium carbonate was absent in stem bark but present in the powdered root. Quantitative physical constants include moisture contents (6.40% and 7.82%), ash value (7.20% and 9.30 %) in stem bark and root respectively. Carbohydrates, alkaloid, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, glycoside, steroid, triterpenes and phenols were present in all the extracts. They were found to exhibit potent 1,1,-diphenyl 2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) free scavenging activity. The DPPH radical scavenging ability of the extracts showed the following trend Ascorbic acid < stem bark extract˃ root extract. The LD50 of the methanolic stem bark and root extracts were found to be greater than 5000 mg /kg and is considered safe for use. Nonetheless, further

The right and appropriate system of receiving and transferring goods is needed by the company. In the process of receiving and transferring goods from the central warehouse to the branch warehouse at PDAM Tirta Kerta Raharja, Tangerang Regency, which is currently done manually is still ineffective and inaccurate because the Head of Subdivision uses receipt documents, namely PPBP and mutation of goods, namely MPPW in the form of paper as a submission media. The Head of Subdivision enters the data of receipt and mutation of goods manually and requires a relatively long time because at the time of demand for the transfer of goods the Head of Subdivision must check the inventory of goods in the central warehouse first. Therefore, it is necessary to hold a design of information systems for the receipt and transfer of goods from the central warehouse to a web-based branch warehouse that is already database so that it is more effective, efficient and accurate. With the web-based system of receiving and transferring goods that are already datatabed, it can facilitate the Head of Subdivision in inputing data on the receipt and transfer of goods and control of stock inventory so that the Sub Head of Subdivision can do it periodically to make it more effective, efficient and accurate. The method of data collection is done by observing, interviewing and studying literature from various previous studies, while the system analysis method uses the Waterfall method which aims to solve a problem and uses design methods with visual modeling that is object oriented with UML while programming using PHP and MySQL as a database.

We conducted a comparative assessment of the nickel oxide nanoparticles toxicity (NiO) of two sizes (11 and 25 nm) according to a number of indicators of the body state after repeated intraperitoneal injections of these particles suspensions. At equal mass doses, NiO nanoparticles have been found to cause various manifestations of systemic subchronic toxicity with a particularly pronounced effect on liver, kidney function, the body’s antioxidant system, lipid metabolism, white and red blood, redox metabolism, spleen damage, and some disorders of nervous activity allegedly related to the possibility of nickel penetration into the brain from the blood. The relationship between the diameter and toxicity of particles is ambiguous, which may be due to differences in toxicokinetics, which is controlled by both physiological mechanisms and direct penetration of nanoparticles through biological barriers and, finally, unequal solubility.

The main goal of our study was to determine how the age of children, puberty and anthropometric parameters affect the formation of body composition and faulty body posture development in children. The secondary goal was to determine in which body segments abnormalities most often occur and how gender differentiates the occurrence of adverse changes in children’s body posture and body composition during puberty. The study group consisted of 464 schoolchildren aged from 6–16. Body posture was assessed with the Zebris system. The composition of the body mass was tested with Tanita MC 780 MA body mass analyzer and the body height was measured using a portable stadiometer PORTSTAND 210. The participants were further divided due to the age of puberty. Tanner division was adopted. The cut-off age for girls is ≥10 years and for boys it is ≥12 years. The analyses applied descriptive statistics, the Pearson correlation, stepwise regression analysis and the t-test. The accepted level of significance was p < 0.05. The pelvic obliquity was lower in older children (beta = −0.15). We also see that age played a significant role in the difference in the height of the right pelvis (beta = −0.28), and the difference in the height of the right shoulder (beta = 0.23). Regression analysis showed that the content of adipose tissue (FAT%) increased with body mass index (BMI) and decreased with increasing weight, age, and height. Moreover, the FAT% was lower in boys than in girls (beta negative equal to −0.39). It turned out that older children (puberty), had greater asymmetry in the right shoulder blade (p < 0.001) and right shoulder (p = 0.003). On the other hand, younger children (who were still before puberty) had greater anomalies in the left trunk inclination (p = 0.048) as well as in the pelvic obliquity (p = 0.008). Girls in puberty were characterized by greater asymmetry on the right side, including the shoulders (p = 0.001), the scapula (p = 0.001) and the pelvis (p < 0.001). In boys, the problem related only to the asymmetry of the shoulder blades (p < 0.001). Girls were characterized by a greater increase in adipose tissue and boys by muscle tissue. Significant differences also appeared in the body posture of the examined children. Greater asymmetry within scapulas and shoulders were seen in children during puberty. Therefore, a growing child should be closely monitored to protect them from the adverse consequences of poor posture or excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in the body.
