Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) TP53 mutations appear to be enriched over the spectrum of metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) and are associated with worse survival outcomes. We chose to further explore the impact of dominant negative (DN) TP53 mutations on mCSPC progression and pro-metastatic behaviors in addition to studying the ability of APR-246, a small molecule targeting TP53 mutants, to blunt pro-metastatic behaviors. MATERIALS/METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 531 mCSPC patients who underwent next-generation sequencing. Patients were stratified by metastasis timing (synchronous if metastasis present at diagnosis or metachronous if arising after definitive treatment of localized disease) and the number of metastatic lesions (oligometastatic ≤5 or polymetastatic >5 lesions). Tumors were classified based on TP53 mutation status (missense, truncating, or wild-type [WT]) and dominant negativity, which was defined as the production of a mutant protein that reduces the residual WT protein's transcriptional activity according to the World Health Organization TP53 database. Clinical outcomes were radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and overall survival (OS), evaluated with Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox regression. To verify the impact of TP53 mutation on metastasis, we created isogenic 22Rv1 prostate cancer cell lines that carried either TP53 WT or TP53 R175H and tested this mutation for migration, invasion, and anchorage-independent growth. APR-246 (25-80 µM) was tested for anti-metastatic properties in vitro and anti-tumor growth in 22Rv1 xenografted nude mice. RESULTS In our cohort, 155 (29.2%) had a TP53 mutation, which mostly occurred in the DNA-binding domain (85.16%). DN TP53 mutations were associated with more aggressive disease states: DN TP53 mutations were enriched in patients with synchronous (vs. metachronous: 20.7% vs. 6.3%, p < 0.01) and polymetastatic disease (vs. oligometastatic: 14.4% vs. 7.9%, p < 0.01). On multivariable analysis, DN TP53 mutations were correlated with shorter rPFS (HR = 1.97, 95% CI: 1.31-2.98, p < 0.01) and OS (HR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.14-3.68, p = 0.02) compared to those with TP53 WT. In vitro, 22Rv1 cells with DN TP53 R175H mutation had increased abilities to migrate, invade, and form colonies compared to TP53 WT. APR-246 treatment of TP53 R175H mutants blunted the pro-metastatic effects of the cell line in vitro (p < 0.01 for all assays by unpaired t-test). Interestingly, APR-246 also inhibited xenograft tumor growth of 22Rv1 TP53 R175H mutants (p < 0.0001 by two-way ANOVA). CONCLUSION DN TP53 mutations were associated with poorer survival outcomes for mCSPC patients. DN TP53 mutations also promoted prostate cancer pro-metastatic behaviors in vitro, which was effectively counteracted by APR-246, making it a promising treatment option that should be explored further in early-phase clinical studies.

Abstract
Generation of food waste (FW) continues to be a global challenge and high on the political agenda. One of the main reasons for its generation is the absence of detailed data on the amount, timing and reasons for created waste. This paper discusses the design, the application and investigates the Internet of Things (IoT) based FW monitoring system to capture waste data during manufacturing in real-time and make it available to all the stakeholders in a food supply chain (FSC). A case study of ready-meal factory comprises of design and architecture for tracking FW including both hardware and software, its implementation in the factory and the positive data-driven results achieved. The case study demonstrates the benefits of digital FW tracking system including the FW reduction of 60.7%, better real-time visibility of the FW hotspots, reasons for waste generations, reliable data, operational improvements and employee behavioural transformation. Although the system replaced the paper-based manual system of tracking FW in the factory, it still needed human input to confirm the waste and was prone to human errors. Overall, the implementation of an IoT-based FW tracking system resulted in a reduction of FW and created a positive environmental and financial impact.

Abstract
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) may be applied to develop human-relevant sensitive in vitro test systems for monitoring developmental toxicants. The aim of this study was to identify potential developmental toxicity mechanisms of the histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDAC) valproic acid (VPA), suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and trichostatin A (TSA) relevant to the in vivo condition using a hESC model in combination with specific differentiation protocols and genome-wide gene expression and microRNA profiling. Analysis of the gene expression data showed that VPA repressed neural tube and dorsal forebrain (OTX2, ISL1, EMX2 and SOX10)-related transcripts. In addition, VPA upregulates axonogenesis and ventral forebrain-associated genes, such as SLIT1, SEMA3A, DLX2/4 and GAD2. HDACi-induced expression of miR-378 and knockdown of miR-378 increases the expression of OTX2 and EMX2, which supports our hypothesis that HDACi targets forebrain markers through miR-378. In conclusion, multilineage differentiation in vitro test system is very sensitive for monitoring molecular activities relevant to in vivo neuronal developmental toxicity. Moreover, miR-378 seems to repress the expression of the OTX2 and EMX2 and therefore could be a regulator of the development of neural tube and dorsal forebrain neurons.

Abstract
The development of in vitro testing strategies for chemical and drug screening is a priority need in order to protect human health, to increase safety, to reduce the number of animals required for conventional testing methods and finally to meet the deadlines of current legislations. The aim of this work was to design an alternative testing method based on human embryonic stem cells for the detection of prenatal neural toxicity. For this purpose we have created a model based on the generation of neural rosettes, reproducing in vitro the gastrulation events recapitulating the formation of the neural tube in vivo. To validate the model we have exposed this complex cell system to increasing concentrations of valproic acid, a known teratogenic agent, to analyse the morphological and molecular changes induced by the toxicant. Specific assays were applied to discriminate between cytotoxicity and specific neural toxicity. Transcriptomic analysis was performed with a microarray Affimetrix platform and validated by quantitative real time RT-PCR for the expression of genes involved in early neural development, neural tube formation and neural cells migration, key biological processes in which the effect of valproic acid is most relevant. The results demonstrated that neural rosette cells respond to valproic acid exposure with molecular and morphological changes similar to those observed in vivo, indicating that this method represents a promising alternative test for the detection of human prenatal neural toxicity.

Abstract
Traditional approaches in evaluating the hazard of drug candidates on the developing offspring are often time-consuming and cost-intensive. Moreover, variations in the toxicological response of different animal species to the tested substance cause severe problems when extrapolating safety dosages for humans. Therefore, more predictive and relevant toxicological systems based on human cell models are required. In the presented study the environmental toxicant methylmercury chloride (MeHgCl), known to cause structural developmental abnormalities in the brain, was used as reference compound to develop a concept contributing to a mechanistic understanding of the toxicity of an investigated substance. Despite the fact, that there are significant data available from animal studies and from poisonings in Japan and Iraq, uncertainties on the mechanism of MeHgCl during human development are still remaining and qualify the substance for further analysis. Transcriptomics analysis in combination with a human cell based in vitro model has been used in order to elucidate the toxicity of MeHgCl at molecular level. Differentiating neural precursor cells that have been exposed continuously to non- and low-cytotoxic concentrations of MeHgCl were investigated. Quantitative change in the mRNA expression profiles of selected genes demonstrated the sensitivity of the cell model and its qualification for a transcriptomics study screening changes in the expression profile of the complete human genome of MeHgCl-treated human neural cells. Potential biomarkers were identified and these candidate marker genes as well as their involvement in a possible toxic mechanism of MeHgCl during the human neurulation process are hereby introduced. The study confirmed the hypothesis that a cellular model based on a human stem cell line can be applied for elucidating unknown mode of actions of developmental toxicants.

Abstract
An attempt to develop and evaluate mouth-dissolving film of phenobarbital for quick effect in treatment of epilepsy occurring in pediatric population has been made in the present study. Suitable film formers and plasticizers are selected based on optimization studies. Effect of superdisintegrants in formulation of mouth dissolving films at different concentrations has been investigated. Films were prepared by solvent casting method. The prepared films were evaluated for physicochemical parameters, in vitro disintegration and dissolution time, in vitro release rate study, stability study, and in vivo animal safety study. The best formulation was found to be F3 showing 96.57% drug release in 14 min, following first-order kinetics. X-Ray diffraction studies show change in crystalline nature of drug in formulation. In vivo studies in hamster reports effective and safe use of formulation in animals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Teratogenic substances induce adverse effects during the development of the embryo. Multilineage differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) mimics the development of the embryo in vitro. Here, we propose a transcriptomic approach in hESCs for monitoring specific toxic effects of compounds as an alternative to traditional time-consuming and cost-intensive in vivo tests requiring large numbers of animals. This study was undertaken to explore the adverse effects of cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C) on randomly differentiated hESCs. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Human embryonic stem cells were used to investigate the effects of a developmental toxicant Ara-C. Sublethal concentrations of Ara-C were given for two time points, day 7 and day 14 during the differentiation. Gene expression was assessed with microarrays to determine the dysregulated transcripts in presence of Ara-C. KEY RESULTS Randomly differentiated hESCs were able to generate the multilineage markers. The low concentration of Ara-C (1 nM) induced the ectoderm and inhibited the mesoderm at day 14. The induction of ectodermal markers such as MAP2, TUBB III, PAX6, TH and NESTIN was observed with an inhibition of mesodermal markers such as HAND2, PITX2, GATA5, MYL4, TNNT2, COL1A1 and COL1A2. In addition, no induction of apoptosis was observed. Gene ontology revealed unique dysregulated biological process related to neuronal differentiation and mesoderm development. Pathway analysis showed the axon guidance pathway to be dysregulated. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Our results suggest that hESCs in combination with toxicogenomics offer a sensitive in vitro developmental toxicity model as an alternative to traditional animal experiments.

Abstract
The present study was carried out to investigate the potential of cement hydrated at various time intervals for the removal of excess F- from aqueous solution by using batch adsorption studies. The influence of different adsorption parameters, viz. effect of adsorbent dose, initial concentration, pH, interfering ions and contact time were studied for their optimization. It was observed that the adsorbent exhibited reasonably significant F- removal over a wide range of pH. The presence of carbonate and bicarbonate ions in aqueous solution were found to affect the F- removal indicating that these anions compete with the sorption of F- on adsorbent. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted well for both the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms and the adsorption capacities were calculated. Comparative studies for F- removal in simulated and field water show relatively higher F- removal in simulated water. XRD and SEM patterns of the hydrated cement were recorded to get better insight into the mechanism of adsorption process. From the experimental results, it may be concluded that HC was an efficient and economical adsorbent for F- removal.

Abstract
Cellulases catalyze the hydrolysis of beta-1,4-glycosidic linkages within cellulose, the most abundant organic polymer on earth. The cellulase (TSC; EC 3.2.1.4) from an alkalothermophilic Thermomonospora sp. has a low molecular weight of 14.2 kDa. It is optimally active at 323 K and stable over the wide pH range of 5-9. Moreover, it has bifunctional activity against cellulose and xylan polymers. In this study, TSC was purified from the native source and crystallized by the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method. The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 49.9, b = 79.5, c = 99.7 angstroms, and diffract to better than 2.3 angstroms resolution.
