Abstract Objective This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder and its possible correlations with clinical characteristics in patients with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome in a single center in Brazil. Methods This retrospective cross-sectional study examined 53 children with the diagnosis of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome prior to an autism spectrum disorder assessment. Participants were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of autism spectrum disorder. Available variables (sex, medications, median age at onset of infantile epileptic spasms syndrome, and presence of comorbidities) were compared using Mann-Whitney U or chi-square tests. Results Among the included patients, 12 (23 %) were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, corresponding to a relative risk of 0.29 (95 % confidence interval 0.174-0.492). The age at the first seizure ranged from 3 to 15 months, with a mean of 6.65 months. This age significantly differed between participants with autism spectrum disorder (10.58 months) and those without (5.43 months), p<0.001. Conclusion Children with infantile epileptic spasms syndrome have a higher risk of being diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Later age of onset and period of spasm occurrence might be predisposing risk factors.

Abstract Objectives: Fungal infections (FI) pose a public health concern and significantly increase mortality rates, especially within Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU). Thus, this study aimed to investigate epidemiological indicators, risk factors, and lethality predictors associated with FI in a NICU. Methods: This study included 1,510 neonates admitted to the NICU of a reference hospital in Brazil between 2015 and 2022. Demographic data, such as sex, birth weight, gestational age, and use of invasive devices were analyzed. Results: Thirty neonates developed invasive FI, totaling 33 episodes and an incidence of 1.2 per 1,000 patient days. Candida albicans was the most frequent species (52.9 %), the bloodstream was the most affected site (78.9 %), and 72.7 % of infections occurred between 2015 and 2018. The lethality rate associated with FI was 33.3 %, and 90 % of deaths occurred within 30 days of diagnosis of infection. Weight < 750 g, prolonged hospital stay, use of parenteral nutrition, and broad-spectrum antimicrobials were independent risk factors for infection occurrence, especially glycopeptides and 4th generation cephalosporins, having a considerable role in the increase in fungal infections. Weight < 750 g was considered a significant predictor of lethality, and C. albicans had the highest lethality rate (40 %). Conclusion: These findings highlight the elevated lethality rate associated with these infections, reinforcing the importance of developing strategies to control FI within NICU.

ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze the process of mutual understanding from the perspective of Discursive Neurolinguistics. As a methodology, a case study was carried out on a child with a linguistic profile of verbal restriction, which concerns the dimension of utterances involving words and their morphology. Data interpretation was based on the Bakhtinian perspective, which addresses ‘understanding’ as an active-responsive process and meaning as emerging from the relationship between utterances. The results showed that the interlocutors’ common ground allowed the joint construction of meaning even in the face of verbal restrictions, and aspects such as nonverbal elements and the recognition of the child’s active-responsive role also favored mutual understanding. As a conclusion, the attention to different multimodal resources as legitimate modes of expression allows children with verbal restrictions to fulfill the role of “speakers” regardless of their modes of expression.

RESUMO Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar o processo de intercompreensão sob a ótica da Neurolinguística Discursiva. Como metodologia, foi realizado um estudo de caso de uma criança com perfil linguístico de restrição verbal, que diz respeito à dimensão dos enunciados que envolve as palavras e a sua morfologia. A interpretação dos dados ocorreu com base na perspectiva bakhtiniana, que aborda a “compreensão” como um processo ativo responsivo e a significação como emergente na relação entre enunciados. Os resultados evidenciaram que o conhecimento compartilhado entre as interlocutoras permitiu a construção conjunta da significação mesmo diante da restrição verbal, e aspectos como os elementos não verbais e o reconhecimento do papel ativo-responsivo da criança também favoreceram a intercompreensão. Conclui-se que a atenção aos diferentes recursos multimodais como modos de expressão legítimos possibilita às crianças com restrição verbal ocupar a posição de “falantes”, independentemente de seus modos de expressão.

Abstract Objectives: Intraoperative bleeding may compromise the results of functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). Tranexamic acid (TXA) and hot saline irrigations (HSI) are potentially useful in reducing blood loss during FESS. To date, no review comprehensively compared outcomes between TXA and HSI. The objective was to bring an insight between these two modalities in FESS. Study design: Systematic review and meta-analysis Material and Methods: The research was performed across PUBMED and Cochrane collaboration databases. A meta-analysis was performed to allow the comparison between TXA and HSI outcomes in FESS. Results: Twelve papers met the eligibility criteria for meta-analysis. HSI presented a more significant reduction in volumetric blood loss compared to TXA (p=0.01). No statistically significant difference was found between HSI and TXA considering surgical field quality (p = 0.99) and duration of surgery (p=0.24). Conclusions: This study suggests similar efficacy of HSI and TXA in improving operative conditions in FESS, although with lower volumetric blood loss in HSI.

Resumo Objetivos: A hemorragia intraoperatória pode comprometer os resultados da cirurgia endoscópica nasosinusal (CENS). O ácido tranexâmico (ATX) e a irrigação com soro quente (ISQ) demonstraram ser úteis na redução da perda sanguínea na CENS. O objetivo desta revisão foi o de comparar os resultados destas duas modalidades na CENS. Desenho do estudo: Revisão sistemática e meta-análise Material e Métodos: A investigação incluiu as bases de dados da PUBMED e Cochrane. Foi efetuada uma meta-análise que explorou os resultados do ATX e da ISQ na CENS. Resultados: Doze trabalhos cumpriram os critérios de elegibilidade para meta-análise. A ISQ apresentou uma redução mais significativa na perda sanguínea comparativamente ao ATX (p=0,01). Não foi encontrada diferença estatisticamente significativa entre ATX e ISQ quanto à qualidade do campo cirúrgico (p = 0,99) e à duração da cirurgia (p=0,24). Conclusões: Este estudo sugere eficácia semelhante entre ATX e ISQ na melhoraria das condições operatórias na CENS, com vantagem da ISQ na perda sanguínea volumétrica.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the compliance with the commercialization of children's products included in the Brazilian Code of Marketing of Infant and Toddlers Food and Childcare-Related Products (NBCAL) in drugstores in Uberlândia/MG. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 143 drugstores that sold infant products: infant formula (IF), follow-up IF, nipples, teats, pacifiers and nipple shields; FI for young children, transition foods and cereal-based foods, fluid or powdered milk, modified/similar milks of plant origin and dairy compounds. The location of drugstores in the five geographic sectors was performed by geoprocessing. The data collected were: types of promotion and types of drugstore administration (drugstore chains/drugstores with independent administration). Irregular commercial promotion was expressed as absolute and relative frequencies. Results: Irregular commercial promotion was found in 11.7% of nipples, pacifiers and bottles, in 10.0% of IF and follow-up formula, in 9.5% of IF for young children, in 11.1% fluid or powdered milk, in 25.0% of transition foods and cereal-based foods and in 59.1% of dairy compounds. In commercial drugstore chains, the presence of promotion for dairy (81.8 vs. 28.6%, respectively) was higher than in drugstores with independent administration. The opposite ocurred for fluid or powdered milk, modified and similar milks of plant origin. The downtown and eastern sectors had the highest percentages of promotions (26%). Conclusions: NBCAL violations still occur in drugstores, mainly in the sale of young children's foods and in the commercial network drugstores.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the relationship between birth weight and the autonomic nervous system in adulthood through a systematic review. Data source: This is a systematic review of publications without limitation of year and language. We included studies involving the autonomic nervous system and birth weight in adults. Manuscripts were selected based on electronic searches of Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Web of Science Cochrane Library and Scopus databases, using “Autonomic Nervous System” OR “Heart Rate” OR “Heart Rate Variability” AND “Birth Weight” as a search strategy. This review is registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews — PROSPERO (ID: CRD42020165622). Data synthesis: We found 894 articles; 215 were excluded for duplicity. Of the remaining 679 studies, 11 remained. Two were excluded because they did not specifically treat the autonomic nervous system or birth weight. There were nine publications, two cohort and seven cross-sectional studies. The main findings were that extreme, very low, low or high birth weight may have some impact on the autonomic nervous system in adult life. Conclusions: Birth weight outside the normality rate may have a negative influence on the autonomic nervous system, causing autonomic dysfunction and increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases in adult life. Thus, the importance of the follow-up of health professionals from pregnancy to gestation and throughout life, with preventive care being emphasized.

Abstract In this study, videothermometry’s application in detecting mammary tumors in dogs is explored in-depth. The research hypothesizes that this technique can effectively identify cancerous tissues during surgery by analyzing thermal patterns. The methodology involved comparing thermal imaging results from dogs with palpable mammary nodules against a control group, focusing on capturing real-time thermal patterns. Results were significant, showing distinct thermal patterns in carcinomas. This indicates videothermometry’s capability in accurately identifying micro metastases and differentiating between neoplastic and non-neoplastic changes. The study concludes that videothermometry has considerable potential in enhancing surgical precision, especially in tumor resection and safety margin definition, but emphasizes the need for further research to thoroughly understand the thermal signatures of various mammary tumors in dogs. videothermometrys s indepth. indepth depth. depth in-depth group realtime real time significant carcinomas nonneoplastic non changes precision definition

Abstract Background The oral cavity is a link between of external environment with gastrointestinal tract. Studies are controversial on the presence of Periodontal Disease (PD) and its association with Gastric Adenocarcinoma (GAC). Methods The authors performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to verify the association between PD and GAC. Six electronic databases were evaluated between 1961 and 2022. Titles and abstracts were reviewed independently according to the eligibility criteria, assessing full texts of selected studies. The quality of the included research was verified using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for case-control and cohort studies. Statistical analyses were performed based on fixed and/or random effects models to calculate the summarized Relative Risk (RR) and its 95 % Confidence Interval (95 % CI). Results There were 639 studies, of which nine articles were included (3 case-controls and 6 cohorts). Overall, the authors identified 1,253 cases of GAC 2,501 controls in case-control studies, and 1,631 patients with GAC enrolled in cohort studies. Patients presenting PD increased the risk of developing GAC by 17 % (RR=1.17; 95 % CI 1.03‒1.32), which remained regardless of the diagnostic method for PD, i.e., clinical examination (RR = 1.19; 95 % CI 1.14‒1.24) and self-report (RR = 1.34; 95 % CI 1.06‒1.69). Moreover, Asian patients (RR=1.17; 95 % CI 1.00‒1.36) with PD had a higher risk of having GAC than American and European patients (RR = 1.18; 95 % CI 0.84‒1.66). Conclusions The presence of PD the risk of GAC suggesting that its infectious-inflammatory process of PD may be related to GAC development. Further investigations on the oral-gastric microbiota and its role in the carcinogenesis of gastric cancer should be carried out, and the screening of patients with potential risk for GAC should be considered in the clinical practice of dentists. tract (PD .

Abstract Background Epilepsies are among the most prevalent chronic neurological diseases, usually beginning in childhood. About 30% of children with epilepsies develop seizures that are difficult to control with medication. Recurrent epileptic seizures hinder diet intake, impairing the nutritional status. Although non-pharmacological interventions (e.g., ketogenic diet therapy) can improve epileptic seizure frequency, few studies analyzed their impact on the nutritional status of children and adolescents with epilepsies. Objective The aim was to evaluate the effects of a ketogenic diet on the nutritional status and clinical course of patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsies. Methods This cross-sectional study included patients under 18 years of age followed up at the Ketogenic Diet Ambulatory Clinic of the Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira between December 2015 and December 2021. Socioeconomic, clinical, nutritional, and laboratory data were collected from medical records at different time points during the ketogenic diet. Results The sample comprised 49 patients aged between 5 months and 17 years (median = 4.4 years), mostly male (62.1%), and from Recife and the metropolitan region (51%). Underweight patients (BMI-for-age) improved their nutritional status in six months. However, patients who were normal weight and overweight maintained their nutritional status. Dyslipidemia was a common and short-term adverse effect. Moreover, the treatment decreased epileptic seizure frequency and antiseizure medication intake. Conclusion The ketogenic diet prevented malnutrition from worsening and reduced epileptic seizures and antiseizure medication intake. diseases childhood 30 intake nonpharmacological non pharmacological e.g., eg e g (e.g. therapy crosssectional cross sectional 1 Prof 201 2021 Socioeconomic 4 median 44 4. years, , years) 62.1%, 621 62.1% 62 (62.1%) 51%. 51 51% .

Resumo Antecedentes A epilepsia, uma das doenças neurológicas crônicas mais prevalentes, tem geralmente início na infância. Cerca de 30% das crianças com epilepsia desenvolvem crises de difícil controle medicamentoso. As crises epilépticas recorrentes dificultam a ingestão alimentar, prejudicando o estado nutricional. Intervenções não farmacológicas, como a terapia com dieta cetogênica, podem melhorar a frequência das crises epilépticas, mas existem poucos estudos sobre a repercussão no estado nutricional da criança/adolescente. Objetivo Avaliar o efeito da terapia cetogênica sobre o estado nutricional e a evolução clínica da epilepsia fármaco-resistente. Métodos Estudo tipo corte transversal envolvendo menores de 18 anos acompanhados no Ambulatório de Dieta Cetogênica do Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira entre dezembro de 2015 e dezembro de 2021. Dados socioeconômicos, clínicos, nutricionais e laboratoriais foram coletados nos prontuários dos pacientes em vários momentos da terapia cetogênica. Resultados A amostra foi composta por 49 pacientes com idades entre cinco meses e 17 anos (mediana = 4,4 anos), a maioria do sexo masculino (62,1%) e procedentes de Recife e região metropolitana (51%). Pacientes com baixo peso (de acordo com o IMC para idade) melhoraram seu estado nutricional em seis meses. No entanto, os pacientes com peso adequado e com sobrepeso mantiveram seu estado nutricional. A dislipidemia foi um efeito adverso frequente e de curta duração. Além disso, o tratamento reduziu a frequência de crises epilépticas e a dose de fármacos anticrises. Conclusão A dieta cetogênica preveniu o agravamento da desnutrição e reduziu as crises epilépticas e a dosagem de fármacos anticrises. prevalentes infância 30 medicamentoso alimentar farmacológicas criançaadolescente criança adolescente criança/adolescente fármacoresistente. fármacoresistente fármaco resistente. resistente fármaco-resistente 1 Prof 201 2021 socioeconômicos clínicos 4 mediana 44 4, anos, , anos) 62,1% 621 62 (62,1% 51%. 51 51% .

Abstract Objective The present in vitro study incorporated niobium oxyhydroxide fillers into an experimental high-viscosity bulk-fill resin composite to improve its mechanical performance and provide it a bioactive potential. Methodology Scanning electron microscopy synthesized and characterized 0.5% niobium oxyhydroxide fillers, demonstrating a homogeneous morphology that represented a reinforcement for the feature. Fillers were weighed, gradually added to the experimental resin composite, and homogenized for one minute, forming three groups: BF (experimental high-viscosity bulk-fill resin composite; control), BF0.5 (experimental high-viscosity bulk-fill resin composite modified with 0.5% niobium oxyhydroxide fillers), and BFC (commercial bulk-fill resin composite Beautifil Bulk U, Shofu; positive control). In total, 10 specimens/groups (8 × 2 × 2 mm) underwent flexural strength (FS) tests in a universal testing machine (Instron) (500N). Resin composites were also assessed for Knoop hardness (KH), depth of cure (DoC), degree of conversion (DC), elastic modulus (E), and degree of color change (ΔE). The bioactive potential of the developed resin composite was evaluated after immersing the specimens into a simulated body fluid in vitro solution and assessing them using a Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscope with an attenuated total reflectance accessory. One-way ANOVA, followed by the Tukey’s test (p<0.05), determined FS, DC, KH, and ΔE. For DoC, ANOVA was performed, which demonstrated no significant difference between groups (p<0.05). Conclusions The high-viscosity bulk-fill resin composite with 0.5% niobium oxyhydroxide fillers showed promising outcomes as reinforcement agents and performed well for bioactive potential, although less predictable than the commercial resin composite with Giomer technology. highviscosity high viscosity bulkfill bulk fill 05 0 5 0.5 feature weighed minute control, control , control) BF05 BF0 BF0. fillers) U Shofu control. . 1 specimensgroups 8 ( mm FS (FS Instron (Instron 500N. 500N N (500N) KH (KH) DoC (DoC) DC (DC) E, E (E) ΔE (ΔE) Fouriertransformed Fourier transformed accessory Oneway One way Tukeys Tukey s p<0.05, p005 p p<0.05 (p<0.05) p<0.05. technology 0.

Abstract Ocotea velloziana (Lauraceae) is a species with cryptic dioecy. The staminate flowers of this species have a pistillode and pistillate flowers have staminodes, which often makes it difficult to describe circumscribe the reproductive system correctly. Therefore, to understand the evolution of dioecy in this species, the morphology of both floral morphotypes needs to be described. We apply traditional and modern approaches to describe the comparative floral anatomy of the two floral morphotypes in O. velloziana. We found that the pistillate flowers have fewer (three) vascular traces in the tepals (compared to five traces in the tepals of the staminate flowers). The pistillode and the staminodes in the flowers of O. velloziana are smaller and less vascularized than their homologous, fertile counterparts, the pistils and stamens. In addition, even though the nectaries are smaller in pistillate flowers, their basic morphology and vascularization are similar in the two floral morphotypes. Our results suggest androtepaly in O. velloziana, however future ontogenetic studies and investigation of the vascularization are necessary in other Lauraceae species to clarify this issue. The nectaries have originated from the hypanthium and may be characterized as nectar-secreting emergencies not homologous to the stamens.

Resumo Em Ocotea velloziana (Lauraceae) ocorre a dioicia críptica, na qual flores estaminadas possuem pistilódios e flores pistiladas possuem estaminódios, muitas vezes difíceis de distinguir de estruturas funcionais. A descrição das características anatômicas e morfológicas das flores pistiladas e estaminadas é necessária para compreender completamente a evolução da dioicia nesta espécie. Neste estudo, aplicamos abordagens tradicionais e modernas para o estudo da anatomia floral comparativa dos dois morfotipos florais de O. velloziana. Os resultados mostraram que as flores pistiladas de O. velloziana possuem menos (três) traços vasculares nas tépalas (versus cinco traços nas tépalas das flores estaminadas). O pistilódio e os estaminódios nas flores de O. velloziana são menores e menos vascularizados do que suas contrapartes homólogas e férteis, ou seja, os pistilos e os estames. Além disso, embora os nectários sejam menores nas flores pistiladas, sua morfologia básica e vascularização são semelhantes nos dois morfotipos florais. Nossos resultados sugerem androtepalia em O. velloziana, porém futuros estudos ontogenéticos e investigação da vascularização são necessários em outras espécies de Lauraceae para esclarecer completamente esta questão. Os nectários originam-se do hipanto e podem ser caracterizados como emergências secretoras de néctar não homólogas aos estames.

Abstract Objective To discuss the promotion of health for older adults through intergenerationality, with an emphasis on intergenerational education within Intergenerational Programs, as a proposal for education fostering the protagonism of older adults and successful aging. Method Theoretical essay, reflective in nature with a qualitative approach. Grounded in the examination of documents emphasizing the increase in longevity and the concern for health promotion among older adults in Brazil, the aim is to contemplate intergenerationality in health promotion and the utilization of intergenerational education to foster successful aging through Intergenerational Programs. Results Organized into three topics: Health promotion for older adults: challenges for their protagonism; Understanding aging for intergenerational learning; Intergenerational program: protagonism for the health promotion of older adults. Conclusion Successful experiences in health, specifically within the realms of Primary Health Care, still appear to be limited or insufficiently recognized for the development of transformative education in health promotion for older adults. The challenge lies in fostering scientific research so that professionals, through continuous education, can enhance health education moments through intergenerational education. Thus, the establishment and implementation of Intergenerational Programs may represent this promising possibility. essay approach Brazil topics learning program Care professionals Thus possibility

ABSTRACT Flooding periods directly interfere with the availability of oxygen in the soil, affecting the aerobic processes of the plants. In this study, we aimed to: (i) characterize the effects of water excess soil on cassava growth; (ii) identify management practices that reduce the impact of water excess on cassava yield; and (iii) to know the crop potential yield for the study region in order to quantify the yield loss caused by water excess. The effects of water excess were evaluated through experiments in pots and in the field. The physiological and morphological response of cassava plants under water excess in a controllable environment indicated greater damage to cassava after exposure of 96 and 120 hours of water excess. Every 24 hours of water excess, about 20% of the plants did not emerge and, after 96 hours of excess, the emergence was null. The use of raised seedbeds was a management practice that ensured 62.6% of plant establishment, allowing cassava yields of up to 16.9 Mg ha-1. The potential yield to Santa Maria in the 2018/2019 crop year was 43.9 Mg ha-1 of cassava roots. The yield gap caused by water excess was up to 4.1 Mg ha-1. i (i growth ii (ii iii (iii field 9 12 2 20 null 626 62 6 62.6 establishment 169 16 16. ha1. ha1 ha 1. 1 20182019 2018 2019 2018/201 439 43 43. ha- roots 41 4 4. 62. 2018201 201 2018/20 201820 2018/2 20182 2018/

Abstract: Plant and fruit quality is a reflection of several factors, one of which is the way the seedlings were produced. The aim of this study was to analyse the phytotechnical and nutritional characteristics of fig tree seedlings (Ficus carica L.) produced in a substrate comprising decomposed stems of the buriti palm (Mauritia flexuosa L.). A randomised block design was used, with treatments distributed in a 5x6 factorial scheme with one additional treatment, arranged in five blocks. The substrates included the following levels of decomposed buriti stems: 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%, with a different decomposition time (0; 15; 30; 45; 60 and 75 days) for each treatment. There was one additional treatment comprising 100% soil. The following variables were evaluated to determine the effects of the treatments: number of leaves (NL), number of branches (NB), leaf chlorophyll index, diameter of the largest shoot (DLS), length of the largest shoot (LLS), leaf area (LA), root length (RL), root volume (RV), shoot fresh matter (SFM), root fresh matter (RFM), shoot dry matter (SDM) and root dry matter (RDM), with a chemical analysis of the shoots and soil before and after setting up the experiment. The proportion of decomposed buriti palm stem in the substrate yielded significant results for the morphological variables, including the number of leaves, shoot fresh matter, root fresh matter and root volume. For the nutritional variables relating to the aerial part of the seedlings, the proportion of substrate yielded significant results for the levels of calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. There were no significant results from the decomposition time; however, multivariate analysis showed that by the end of the experiment the nutrient concentration in the soil was higher than before the experiment.

Abstract Chemotherapy stands out as the main systemic treatment strategy against cancer and still faces problems related to multidrug resistance and severe side effects. Copper-based drugs have been widely explored in medicinal chemistry, since copper is an essential metal for physiological activities with antineoplastic effects. In this context, the present study aimed to evaluate the recombinogenic/mutagenic and anticarcinogenic potential of the complex CBP-01 - [Cu(bta)(1,10-phen)ClO4] (Hbta = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione and 1,10-phen =1,10-phenanthroline) - through the Somatic and Recombination test (SMART) and the Epithelial Tumor Test (ETT) in Drosophila melanogaster, compared with carboplatin (CARB) and cisplatin (CIS) effects. According to our results, CARB and CIS induced a high frequency of mutant spots, which was not verified at higher concentrations of CBP-01. In addition, CBP-01 exhibited mutagenic/recombinogenic potential only at the lowest concentration and after biometabolization. Subsequently, in the ETT test, CBP-01 did not demonstrate carcinogenic effect. Lastly, epithelial tumors were identified in flies treated with CARB and CIS, which were modulated by the CBP-01 complex. Therefore, CBP-01 modulates genotoxicity of other compounds and is a promising metal-based drug for the development of a new anticancer agent or for optimization of therapeutic regimens. effects Copperbased Copper based chemistry context recombinogenicmutagenic recombinogenic mutagenic CBP01 CBP 01 CBP-0 Cubta1,10phenClO4 Cubta110phenClO4 CubtaphenClO Cu bta 1,10 phen ClO4 1 10 ClO [Cu(bta)(1,10-phen)ClO4 Hbta 4,4,4trifluoro1phenyl1,3butanedione 444trifluoro1phenyl13butanedione trifluorophenylbutanedione 4,4,4 trifluoro phenyl 1,3 butanedione 4 3 1,10phen 110phen =1,10phenanthroline 110phenanthroline phenanthroline =1,10 =1,10-phenanthroline SMART (SMART (ETT melanogaster (CARB (CIS results spots CBP01. 01. addition mutagenicrecombinogenic biometabolization Subsequently effect Lastly Therefore metalbased regimens CBP0 0 CBP- Cubta1 10phenClO4 Cubta phenClO Cubta1,10phenClO Cubta110phenClO 110 1,1 [Cu(bta)(1,10-phen)ClO 4trifluoro1phenyl1 3butanedione 444 4,4, 13 1, 10phen 10phenanthroline =1,1 10phenClO 11 trifluorophenyl 4trifluoro1phenyl 44 4,4 =1, 4, =1
