Abstract In this work, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were obtained by a chemical reduction method using different chitosan salts as stabilizing agents, able to protect and prevent against the aggregation of nanoparticles. Various with organic acids, which included: acetic, succinic, formic, propionic, malic, glycolic lactic acid used form salts. The use these acids represents viable, sustainable, environmentally friendly economical way synthesized AgNPs. AgNPs‐chitosan samples analyzed...

Oncogenic point mutations in KIT or PDGFRA are recognized as the primary events responsible for pathogenesis of most gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), but additional genomic alterations frequent and presumably required tumor progression. The relative contribution such biology clinical behavior GIST, however, remains elusive.In present study, somatic were evaluated by direct sequencing analysis a consecutive series 80 GIST patients. For subset 29 tumors, comparative hybridization was...

Abstract Hereditary gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder originated by germline mutations in the KIT or PDGFRA genes. We report third family with hereditary predisposition to GIST due Exon 17 mutation p.Asp820Tyr and characterize cytogenetic progression pathways followed different sharing same primary event, using combination of chromosome banding, comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), fluorescence situ (FISH) analyses. The missense...

The science and technology interact with the art in several ways. Biotechnological coupled analytical approaches can play an important role protecting preserving cultural heritage for future generations. Many microorganisms influenced by environmental conditions are main responsible biological contamination built heritage. Biocides based on chemical compounds have been used to mitigate this problem. Thus, it is vitally develop proper remediation actions environmentally innocuous alternative....

As pinturas de cavalete têm sido alvo biodeterioração devido à proliferação agentes microbiológicos, em particular a propagação estirpes fúngicas, estando estas associadas formação biofilmes e desintegração da microestrutura destas obras arte, atendendo enorme diversidade nutrientes aí presentes. Assim, estratégias mitigação, utilizando biocidas ecológicos não tóxicos, que eliminem previnam contaminação microbiológica destes bens patrimoniais encontram-se desenvolvimento.

In recent years, the population has become acutely aware of need to conserve world’s resources. The study new compounds produced by natural means is important in search for alternative green solutions that act against biodeteriogenic fungi, which promote biodeterioration built cultural heritage sites. present paper reports solutions, derived from Bacillus sp. CCLBH 1053 cultures, produce lipopeptides (LPP) can as biocides safeguarding stone artwork. stationary phases bacteria growth, peptone...

Damage to buildings and monuments by microbiological growth is a cause of serious concern. Due the necessity treatment being assessed for in situ application, it important select safe effective strategy approach that safeguards both environment human beings. In past decade most frequently used biocides have been banned due their environmental health hazards. This paper reports development remediation actions based on environmentally innocuous alternatives derived from active compounds...
