AB  - In the last few decades, aluminum nitride (AlN) and boron nitride (BN) have become a point of interest to many researchers and scholars from different disciplines around the world. Due to its attractive properties, AlN has been successfully used in various applications, starting from advanced ceramics materials, additive for grain size control in micro-alloyed steels, through optoelectronics and microelectronics, and finally to semiconductors. On the other hand, BN has broad applications in various fields, such as 2D material, lubricant material, superhard and semiconductor material as well as many others. This study focuses on the mixed AlN/BN compounds, in particular, boron-rich AlN and aluminum-rich BN systems, thus having the entire range of AlN/BN compositions. The special focus was on structural properties investigated using the hybrid B3LYP method. Important structural properties were investigated to offer novel technological and industrial applications of mixed AlN/BN materials.

AB  - In this study, nanochitosan dots (ChiDs) were synthesized using gamma rays and encapsulated in bacterial cellulose (BC) polymer matrix for antibiofilm potential in photodynamic therapy. The composites were analyzed for structural changes using SEM, AFM, FTIR, XRD, EPR, and porosity measurements. Additionally, ChiD release was assessed. The results showed that the chemical composition remained unaltered, but ChiD agglomerates embedded in BC changed shape (1.5–2.5 µm). Bacterial cellulose fibers became deformed and interconnected, with increased surface roughness and porosity and decreased crystallinity. No singlet oxygen formation was observed, and the total amount of released ChiD was up to 16.10%. Antibiofilm activity was higher under green light, with reductions ranging from 48 to 57% under blue light and 78 to 85% under green light. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was the most sensitive strain. The new photoactive composite hydrogels show promising potential for combating biofilm-related infections.

AB  - Hafnium carbide (HfC) is a refractory compound known for its exceptional mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. This compound has gained significant attention in materials science and engineering due to its high melting point, extreme hardness, and excellent thermal stability. This study presents crystal structure prediction via energy landscape explorations of pristine hafnium carbide supplemented by data mining. Apart from the well-known equilibrium rock salt phase, we predict eight new polymorphs of HfC. The predicted HfC phases appear in the energy landscape with known structure types such as the WC type, NiAs type, 5-5 type, sphalerite (ZnS) type, TlI type, and CsCl type; in addition, we predict two new structure types denoted as ortho_HfC and HfC_polytype, respectively. Moreover, we have investigated the structural characteristics and mechanical properties of hafnium carbide at the DFT level of computation, which opens diverse applications in various technological domains.

AB  - LaFSe and LaFS materials have shown great potential for various optoelectronic applications, such as photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors. Mixed LaFSe/LaFS compounds have been synthesized through high-temperature experiments. The introduction of sulfur into LaFSe causes distortion in the crystal lattice, leading to changes in the unit cell. A new algorithm is presented that keeps the symmetries of the mixed LaFSe/LaFS phases, and it is combined with ab initio structure optimization in order to efficiently generate and compute models for solid solution-type compounds. There is good agreement between experimental and theoretical data, and additional predicted structures under extreme conditions in various lanthanoid fluoride selenides/sulfides have been introduced. The substitution of selenium for sulfur within the LaFSe lattice can result in some unusual electronic properties, including changes in the size of the band gap, the character of the gap, and the electronic structure of the material.

AB  - Since their discovery, iron and hydrogen have been two of the most interesting elements in scientific research, with a variety of known and postulated compounds and applications. Of special interest in materials engineering is the stability of such materials, where hydrogen embrittlement has gained particular importance in recent years. Here, we present the results for the Fe-H system. In the past, most of the work on iron hydrides has been focused on hydrogen-rich compounds since they have a variety of interesting properties at extreme conditions (e.g. superconductivity). However, we present the first atomistic study of an iron-rich Fe4H compound which has been predicted using a combination of data mining and quantum mechanical calculations. Novel structures have been discovered in the Fe4H chemical system for possible experimental synthesis at the atomistic level.

AB  - The possibility of using waste tailings produced by flotation in the lead and zinc mine of Grot, Serbia as a potential source of secondary mineral raw materials was examined. The aim of the research was primarily to carry out a detailed characterization in order to determine the dominant minerals, and, for the first time, to trace the changes occurring in the unit cells of the minerals present in that deposit. There was also a need to determine the exact proportions of the present mineral phases for their further application and utilization as natural resources in environmental protection. Samples were taken from three different sections of tailings: the crest of dam (JKB), outlet pipe of the flotation facility (JOF) and hydrocyclone overflow (JHC). Granulometric separation was performed to facilitate the extraction of certain minerals from waste. The results showed that all samples mainly contained quartz, clinochlore, calcite, albite, pyrite and biotite, but their ratios in each sample varied significantly. After characterization, samples were separated into different fractions and their mineralogical compositions were determined. Depending on the fraction, the mineralogical compositions also changed. Mineralogy and geochemical analysis indicate that waste tailings can be used as a secondary mineral raw materials source applicable in various industries.

AB  - Porous anorthite (CaAl2Si2O8) ceramics, suitable for thermal insulation in buildings, were obtained using waste seashells as a source of CaO, kaolin as a source of Al2O3 and SiO2 and banana peel as a pore former. Changing the volume of banana peel as well as the processing temperature was found to be an effective approach to control the thermo-mechanical properties of the obtained anorthite ceramics. The sintering of powder compacts containing up to 30 wt% banana peel at temperatures ranging from 1100 to 1200 °C resulted in anorthite ceramics possessing up to 45% open porosity, a compressive strength between 13 and 92 MPa, a bulk density between 1.87 and 2.62 g/cm3 and thermal conductivity between 0.097 and 3.5 W/mK. It was shown that waste materials such as seashells and banana peel can be used to obtain cost-effective thermal insulation in buildings.

AB  - Octacalcium phosphate (OCP) is a material from the calcium phos-phate group with a crystal structure similar to hydroxyapatite. The removal process of lead and cadmium in aqueous solution using octacalcium phosphate material was investigated. OCP material was synthesized by the solution pre-cipitation method. The structural and phase properties of OCP before and after the removal process were determined by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. Microstructural and semi-quantitative analysis of the material was investigated by  scanning  electron  microscopy  and  energy  dispersive  X-ray  spectroscopy (SEM-EDS).

AB  - Anorthite ceramics (CaAl2Si2O8) was obtained by slip casting of water suspension of kaolin (Al2O3·2SiO2·2H2O) and CaCO3 as a source of CaO. A relative density of 87 % of the theoretical density was achieved after a 3-h-long sintering of green samples at 1200 °C. It was found that slip casting allows the fabrication of anorthite with relatively small pores (<8 μm) which was beneficial for achieving a high fracture strength of 129 MPa and good thermal shock resistance. For a quantitative measurement of thermal shock resistance, a critical temperature interval (ΔTc) was determined by a reduction in the mean fracture strength of at least 30 %. The experimentally determined ΔTc of 300 °C was higher than the value calculated by the equation assuming that the thermal stress created during quenching causes the fracture. It was found that the discrepancy between experimental and calculated values of ΔTc could be explained by an introduction of cracks of various sizes by indentation method and careful observation of crack growth initiation after quenching from various temperatures. It is believed that the reason for the discrepancy lies in the different nature of stress that was used in the theoretical calculation and the stress that acts during sample quenching.

AB  - Polymer resins based on acrylates obtained from Bis-GMA (Bisphenol A glycide methacrylate), which is suitable for photopolymerization, are used in dentistry for various purposes due to the ease of application and the possibility to influence their properties by adding reinforcements of different shapes, crystal structure and chemical compositions. Reinforcement in the form of particles based on MgAlLDH (layered double hydroxide) deposited on silica obtained from rice husks on two substrates. A metal base and glass were used. The adhesive properties are important in order to see the possibility of using these materials in applications. In order to measure the adhesive properties of the material, the composite microhardness measurement method is used by applying different loads in order to evaluate the adhesion parameter that shows the effect of the coating on the substrate. It was compared to how a pure photopolymerizing acrylate matrix bonds with a chromium-based dental alloy substrate that is used in the production of different parts of dentures by bonding to a glass substrate. Then, it was compared how composite materials are bonded to both substrates. Adhesion was monitored through the change in wetting angle between the composites, and the results were compared with the results of microindentation. It was shown that the addition of composite particles increases the adhesive properties of the composite compared to the pure matrix and that better adhesion is achieved between the composite and the metal substrate than between the composite and the glass substrate.

AB  - Different organic compounds in aquatic bodies have been recognized as an emerging issue in Environmental Chemistry. The gamma irradiation technique, as one of the advanced oxidation techniques, has been widely investigated in past decades as a technique for the degradation of organic molecules, such as dyes, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals, which show high persistence to degradation. This review gives an overview of what has been achieved so far using gamma irradiation for different organic compound degradations giving an explanation of the mechanisms of degradations as well as the corresponding limitations and drawbacks, and the answer to why this technique has not yet widely come to life. Also, a new approach, recently presented in the literature, regards coupling gamma irradiation with other techniques and materials, as the latest trend. A critical evaluation of the most recent advances achieved by coupling gamma irradiation with other methods and/or materials, as well as describing the reaction mechanisms of coupling, that is, additional destabilization of molecules achieved by coupling, emphasizing the advantages of the newly proposed approach. Finally, it was concluded what are the perspectives and future directions towards its commercialization since this technique can contribute to waste minimization i.e. not waste transfer to other media. Summarizing and generalization the model of radiolytic degradation with and without coupling with other techniques can further guide designing a new modular, mobile method that will satisfy all the needs for its wide commercial application.

Will earlier to obtain new bounds on graviton mass from the observed orbits of S-stars around the Galactic Center (GC). This phenomenological potential differs from the gravitational potential obtained in the weak field limit of Yukawa gravity, which we used in our previous studies. We also assumed that the orbital precession of S-stars is close to the prediction of General Relativity (GR) for Schwarzschild precession, but with a possible small discrepancy from it. This assumption is motivated by the fact that the GRAVITY Collaboration in 2020 and in 2022 detected Schwarzschild precession in the S2 star orbit around the Supermassive Black Hole (SMBH) at the GC. Using this approach, we were able to constrain parameter 𝜆  of the potential and, assuming that it represents the graviton Compton wavelength, we also found the corresponding upper bound of graviton mass. The obtained results were then compared with our previous estimates, as well as with the estimates of other authors.

AB  - Ferrofluids based on magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have been widely studied as multipurpose agents in various medical applications including magnetic hyperthermia, targeted drug delivery and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To increase their stability and compatibility with the living cells and thus improve their suitability for these purposes, the IONPs are often functionalized with different organic or inorganic molecules. In this work we report on the preparation of polyvinilpyrrolidone (PVP) functionalized IONPs through a simple co-precipitation method and investigated their suitability for magnetic hyperthermia and as a MRI contrast agent. Spherical PVP-coated IONPs, with an average particle size of ≈ 15 nm, showed superparamagnetic behavior and high saturation magnetization Ms = 80.7 emug−1, at room temperature. The specific absorption rate (SAR), a measure of the heating ability, ranged from 17 W/g to 721 W/g (evaluated for various combinations of AC magnetic field amplitudes and frequencies), while the intrinsic loss power (ILP) was in the range from 0.53 nHm2 kg−1 to 2.34 nHm2 kg−1. In addition to relatively good heating ability, high T2 relaxivity, r2 = 126 mM−1 s−1 and high r2/r1 ratio demonstrated that the preparation procedure used here can yield nanoparticles suitable for MRI guided localized magnetic hyperthermia.

AB  - This study investigates the impact of Co–Mo–W ionic activators on the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline electrolysis, comparing their performance to Co–Mo and Co–W systems. The research focuses on analyzing the catalytic efficiency of these activators under varying conditions, including temperature and current density variations. Key findings reveal that the Co–Mo–W activator enhances HER performance, with a significant 17% reduction in energy consumption compared to plain electrolyte, mirroring the efficiency of Co–Mo. Tafel analysis gave the insight of the reaction mechanism for HER for all activators, with Co–Mo–W exhibiting a lower Tafel slope, suggesting improved catalytic activity. Structural and morphological analysis of electrode coatings shows a highly developed surface for Co–Mo–W, with a roughness factor similar to or slightly lower than the most developed Co–Mo coating. The study concludes that the synergistic combination of Co, Mo, and W in a tri-component ionic activator offers a promising catalytic activity for HER, outperforming bi-component systems and presenting significant potential for industrial-scale alkaline water electrolysis applications.

AB  - Clinical interpretation of an electrocardiogram (ECG) can be detrimentally affected by noise. Removal of the electromyographic (EMG) noise is particularly challenging due to its spectral overlap with the QRS complex. The existing EMG-denoising algorithms often distort signal morphology, thus obscuring diagnostically relevant information. Here, a new iterative regeneration method (IRM) for efficient EMG-noise suppression is proposed. The main hypothesis is that the temporary removal of the dominant ECG components enables extraction of the noise with the minimum alteration to the signal. The method is validated on SimEMG database of simultaneously recorded reference and noisy signals, MIT-BIH arrhythmia database and synthesized ECG signals, both with the noise from MIT Noise Stress Test Database. IRM denoising and morphology-preserving performance is superior to the wavelet- and FIR-based benchmark methods. : IRM is reliable, computationally non-intensive, fast and applicable to any number of ECG channels recorded by mobile or standard ECG devices.

AB  - While the effects of chronic exposure to microplastic particles (MPs) are extensively studied, the outcomes of a single treatment have received relatively less attention. To investigate MPs’ potential acute toxicity, including their impact on general health status (victual consumption, sensorimotor deficits, and clinical toxicity signs) and serum biochemical parameters (markers of organ/tissue function and oxidative stress indicators), we administered thoroughly characterized MPs (1.4, 35, or 125 mg/kg), generated from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, to adult male Wistar rats via oral gavage. The MPs’ short-term effects were assessed with well-established tests and methods. The results point to the absence of sensorimotor deficits and clinical toxicity signs, while levels of markers of liver, heart, and kidney function were altered in all MP groups. Decreased victual consumption and increased levels of oxidative stress indicators were evident following treatment with the two higher MP doses. Presented data indicate that examined MPs are able to initiate the development of local changes in tissues and organs within a short time frame, potentially leading to their damage and dysfunction. This study may increase the awareness of the detrimental effects of plastic contamination, as even a single exposure to MPs may provoke adverse health outcomes.

AB  - Pesticides commonly used in the Republic of Serbia (tebuconazole, pendimethalin, pyraclostrobin, propiconazole, and famoxadone) have high stability, so their potential toxicity to humans needs to be investigated. These pesticides are in use in the Republic of Serbia in various formulations. Their toxicity and interactions with acetylcholinesterase were thoroughly investigated in this study using computational tools. The ADMET (Adsorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion, Toxicity) study showed that all of them are good oral compounds, and that pendimethalin was a mutagenic compound. Glide scores ranged from -18.41 kJ mol-1 (pendimethalin) to -27.61 kJ mol-1 (famoxadone) in Mus musculus, and from -19.58 kJ mol-1 (pendimethalin) to -24.31 kJ mol-1 (propiconazole) in Homo sapiens. In addition, the experimental stability of the pesticides solutions in methanol was studied using the fast GC-MS (retention times of the studied pesticides ranged from 14.47 min (pendimethalin) to 22 min (famoxadone)). They showed good stability over time, apart from pyraclostrobin which decomposed mainly into its des-methoxy derivative after 20 months. Based on the promising modeling results, pyraclostrobin and famoxadone emerge as potential candidates for further investigation in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, taking care to increase their stability.

AB  - Gold chloride clusters play an important role in catalysis and materials chemistry. Due to the diversity of their species and isomers, there is still a dearth of structural studies at the molecular level. In this work, anions of AunCln+3- and AunCln+5- (n = 2–4) clusters were obtained by laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (LDI MS), and the most stable isomers of AunCln+3- were determined after a thorough search and optimization at the TPSSh/aug-cc-pVTZ/ECP60MDF level. The results indicate that all isomers with the lowest energy have a planar zigzag skeleton. In each species, there is one Au(III) atom at the edge connected with four Cl atoms, which sets it from the other Au(I) atoms. Four growth pathways for AunCln+3- (n = 2–7) clusters are proposed (labelled R1, R2, R3 and R4). They are all associated with an aurophilic contact and are exothermic. The binding energies tend to stabilize at ~ −41 kcal/mol when the size of the cluster increases in all pathways. The pathway R1, which connects all the most stable isomers of the respective clusters, is characterized by cluster growth due to aurophilic interactions at the terminal atom of Au(I) in the zigzag chains. In the pathway of R4 involving Au-Au bonding in its initial structures (n ≤ 3), the distance between intermediate gold atoms grows with cluster size, ultimately resulting in the transfer of the intermediate Au-Au bonding into aurophilic interaction. The size effect on the structure and aurophilic interactions of these clusters will be better understood based on these discoveries, potentially providing new insights into the active but elusive chemical species involved in the corresponding catalytic reactions or nanoparticle synthesis processes.

AB  - Nanoparticles (NPs), a distinct class of particles ranging in size from 1 to 100 nm, are one of the most promising technologies of the 21st century, and titanium dioxide NPs (TiO2 NPs) are among the most widely produced and used NPs globally. The increased application of TiO2 NPs raises concerns regarding their global safety and risks of exposure. Many animal studies have reported the accumulation of TiO2 NPs in female reproductive organs; however, evidence of the resultant toxicity remains ambiguous. Since the surface area and chemical modifications of NPs can significantly change their cytotoxicity, we aimed to compare the toxic effects of pristine TiO2 powder with surface-modified TiO2 powders with salicylic acid (TiO2/SA) and 5-aminosalicylic acid (TiO2/5-ASA) on the ovaries, oviducts, and uterus on the 14th day following acute oral treatment. The results, based on alterations in food and water intake, body mass, organ-to-body mass ratio, hormonal status, histological features of tissues of interest, and antioxidant parameters, suggest that the modification with 5-ASA can mitigate some of the observed toxic effects of TiO2 powder and encourage future investigations to create NPs that can potentially reduce the harmful effects of TiO2 NPs while preserving their positive impacts.

AB  - Sustainable solutions for environmental remediation are of great interest due to the escalated release of toxic substances into the ecosystem. Here, Ca-impregnated pyro-hydrocarbon (Ca-SMS) was synthesized from spent mushroom substrate (SMS) via hydrothermal carbonization at a relatively low process temperature, followed by subsequent physicochemical activation. Ca-SMS underwent characterization using various analytical techniques, and its efficacy in removing acridine red (AR) and methylene blue (MB) was assessed through batch experiments. The results suggested that Ca-SMS is an effective adsorbent for AR and MB, visiting a removal capacity of 33.82 and 81.98 mg g 1 at 35 ◦ C, respectively. The kinetic investigation uncovered that the dye removal process mostly agreed with the pseudo-second-order (PSO), while the Langmuir and Freundlich models were the most suitable to describe the removal of dyes. Thermodynamic analyses showed that the remediation process is spontaneous and endothermic. Adsorption mechanisms among dyes and Ca-SMS were multiple: physical adsorption, surface complexation, electrostatic, and ππ interaction. The feasibility of the proposed method for real sample treatment was demonstrated. These findings indicate that Ca-SMS is an effective alternative sorbent for the remediation of textile wastewater and is a viable solution for waste reduction in the rising mushroom cultivation sector.

AB  - This study proposes a simple and controlled method for producing TiO2 with phase junction, oxygen vacancies, and Ti3+ by combining picosecond pulsed laser irradiation and electrochemical anodization. Ti mesh was pretreated by irradiating with a picosecond pulsed laser technique using an Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) at two fluencies, 15 J/cm2 and 30 J/cm2 . The samples were then subjected to electrochemical anodization to form TiO2 nanotube arrays on the previously laser-treated surface. This study will investigate the possibility of forming TiO2 nanotube arrays on a pre-laser-treated Ti substrate and determine their physicochemical and photocatalytic properties. The samples were characterized by FESEM, XRD, Raman, XPS, and UV-Vis DRS. UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to observe the progress of photocatalytic degradation for all samples, and degradation products were determined using GC-MS. With the synergistic effects of phase junction, oxygen vacancies, and Ti3+, the laser-treated TiO2 with 30 J/cm2 showed a higher photocatalytic degradation rate (85.1%) of the pesticide carbofuran compared to non-laser-treated TiO2 (54.8%), remaining stable during successive degradation cycles, which has promising practical applications.

AB  - Background/Aim. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is linked to the development of atherosclerosis (As), including its initiation and progression. Besides the well-known angio-tensin-converting enzyme (ACE), two newer RAS family members are related to vascular remodeling - ACE2 as a homolog of ACE and collectrin [transmembrane protein 27 (TMEM27)] as a homolog of ACE2. Up to now, a limited number of studies have examined the expression of these RAS components in advanced carotid plaque (CP) tissue based on the sex of the patients and plaque phenotypes (PPs). There are two ultrasonographically defined PPs - the hypoechogenic plaque (HoP) and the hyperechogenic plaque (HerP) phenotype. The aim of the study was to investigate whether there was a correlation between the expression of RAS components in the CP and the sex and PPs of patients. Methods. We examined 74 patients with advanced CP who underwent carotid endarterectomy. The intraplaque expression of RAS components was determined with the real-time polymerase chain reaction, using the TaqMan® gene expression assays and Western blot. A two-way ANOVA followed by a post-hoc Tukey test was performed for the statistical analysis of results. Results. No interaction was recorded between the sex of the patients and PPs in influencing the relative expression of ACE and TMEM27 messenger RNA (mRNA) (p > 0.05). In 56.06% of plaque samples, no expression of ACE2 mRNA was detected. Among the plaques where ACE2 mRNA expression was detected, its expression level was higher in females with the HoP phenotype compared to females with the HerP phenotype (p < 0.001). In patients with the HoP phenotype, females had higher expression of ACE2 mRNA than males (p < 0.05). In the male study group, ACE protein levels were significantly lower in the HoP phenotype compared to the HerP phenotype (p < 0.001). Fe-males with the HoP phenotype had significantly higher ACE protein levels than males with the HoP phenotype (p < 0.0001). Conclusion. Our results revealed alterations in the expression levels of ACE and ACE2, at the mRNA and protein levels, in advanced carotid As. These alterations are impacted by sex and PP and may indicate a switch from the balanced RAS/ACE/ACE2 axis in the healthy blood vessel to the unbalanced axis in vascular remodeling due to As.
AB  - Renin-angiotenzin sistem (RAS) povezan je sa
razvojem ateroskleroze (As), uključujući njen nastanak i
progresiju. Pored dobro poznatog angiotenzinkonvertujućeg enzima (angiotensin-converting enzyme – ACE),
dva nova člana RAS familije povezana su sa
remodelovanjem zidova krvnih sudova – ACE2 kao
homolog ACE i kolektrin [transmembrane protein 27
(TMEM27)] kao homolog ACE2. Do sada je mali broj
studija ispitivao ekspresiju komponenti RAS sistema u tkivu
uznapredovalog karotidnog plaka (KP) u odnosu na pol
bolesnika i fenotip plaka (FP). Postoje dva tipa KP
definisana primenom ultrazvuka – fenotip hipoehogenog
plaka (HoP) i fenotip hiperehogenog plaka (HerP). Cilj rada
bio je da se ispita da li postoji korelacija između ekspresije
komponenti RAS u KP i pola i FP bolesnika. Metode.
Ispitano je 74 bolesnika sa uznapredovalim KP koji su bili
podvrgnuti operativnoj proceduri karotidne
endarterektomije. Ekspresija komponenti RAS sistema u
tkivu plaka utvrđena je lančanom reakcijom polimeraze u
realnom vremenu (real-time polymerase chain reaction)primenom eseja TaqMan® tehnologije i metode Western blota. Dvosmerna analiza varijanse i Tukey post-hoc test korišćen su za statističku obradu rezultata. Rezultati. Nije utvrđena
interakcija FP i pola bolesnika u uticaju na relativnu
ekspresiju informacione RNK (iRNK) za ACE i TMEM27
(p > 0,05). U 56,06% uzoraka plaka nije detektovana
ekspresija iRNK za ACE2. U plakovima u kojima je
detektovana ekspresija iRNK za ACE2, njen nivo bio je viši
kod žena sa HoP u poređenju sa ženama sa HerP (p <
0,001). U grupi bolesnika sa fenotipom HoP, žene su imale
viši nivo iRNK za ACE2 nego muškarci (p < 0,05). U grupi
muškaraca, nivoi ekspresije ACE proteina bili suznačajno
niži u fenotipu HoP u poređenju sa HerP (p < 0,001). Žene
sa fenotipom HoP imale su značajno viši nivo ACE
proteina u poređenju sa muškarcima sa HoP (p < 0,0001).
Zaključak. Naši rezultati pokazali su da postoje promene
nivoa ekspresije ACE i ACE2, na nivou proteina i iRNK u
uznapredovaloj karotidnoj As. Te promene zavise od pola i
FP i mogu ukazivati na to da balans ose RAS/ACE/ACE2

abstract = "Background/Aim. The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is linked to the development of atherosclerosis (As), including its initiation and progression. Besides the well-known angio-tensin-converting enzyme (ACE), two newer RAS family members are related to vascular remodeling - ACE2 as a homolog of ACE and collectrin [transmembrane protein 27 (TMEM27)] as a homolog of ACE2. Up to now, a limited number of studies have examined the expression of these RAS components in advanced carotid plaque (CP) tissue based on the sex of the patients and plaque phenotypes (PPs). There are two ultrasonographically defined PPs - the hypoechogenic plaque (HoP) and the hyperechogenic plaque (HerP) phenotype. The aim of the study was to investigate whether there was a correlation between the expression of RAS components in the CP and the sex and PPs of patients. Methods. We examined 74 patients with advanced CP who underwent carotid endarterectomy. The intraplaque expression of RAS components was determined with the real-time polymerase chain reaction, using the TaqMan® gene expression assays and Western blot. A two-way ANOVA followed by a post-hoc Tukey test was performed for the statistical analysis of results. Results. No interaction was recorded between the sex of the patients and PPs in influencing the relative expression of ACE and TMEM27 messenger RNA (mRNA) (p > 0.05). In 56.06% of plaque samples, no expression of ACE2 mRNA was detected. Among the plaques where ACE2 mRNA expression was detected, its expression level was higher in females with the HoP phenotype compared to females with the HerP phenotype (p < 0.001). In patients with the HoP phenotype, females had higher expression of ACE2 mRNA than males (p < 0.05). In the male study group, ACE protein levels were significantly lower in the HoP phenotype compared to the HerP phenotype (p < 0.001). Fe-males with the HoP phenotype had significantly higher ACE protein levels than males with the HoP phenotype (p < 0.0001). Conclusion. Our results revealed alterations in the expression levels of ACE and ACE2, at the mRNA and protein levels, in advanced carotid As. These alterations are impacted by sex and PP and may indicate a switch from the balanced RAS/ACE/ACE2 axis in the healthy blood vessel to the unbalanced axis in vascular remodeling due to As., Renin-angiotenzin sistem (RAS) povezan je sa
razvojem ateroskleroze (As), uključujući njen nastanak i
progresiju. Pored dobro poznatog angiotenzinkonvertujućeg enzima (angiotensin-converting enzyme – ACE),
dva nova člana RAS familije povezana su sa
remodelovanjem zidova krvnih sudova – ACE2 kao
homolog ACE i kolektrin [transmembrane protein 27
(TMEM27)] kao homolog ACE2. Do sada je mali broj
studija ispitivao ekspresiju komponenti RAS sistema u tkivu
uznapredovalog karotidnog plaka (KP) u odnosu na pol
bolesnika i fenotip plaka (FP). Postoje dva tipa KP
definisana primenom ultrazvuka – fenotip hipoehogenog
plaka (HoP) i fenotip hiperehogenog plaka (HerP). Cilj rada
bio je da se ispita da li postoji korelacija između ekspresije
komponenti RAS u KP i pola i FP bolesnika. Metode.
Ispitano je 74 bolesnika sa uznapredovalim KP koji su bili
podvrgnuti operativnoj proceduri karotidne
endarterektomije. Ekspresija komponenti RAS sistema u
tkivu plaka utvrđena je lančanom reakcijom polimeraze u
realnom vremenu (real-time polymerase chain reaction)primenom eseja TaqMan® tehnologije i metode Western blota. Dvosmerna analiza varijanse i Tukey post-hoc test korišćen su za statističku obradu rezultata. Rezultati. Nije utvrđena
interakcija FP i pola bolesnika u uticaju na relativnu
ekspresiju informacione RNK (iRNK) za ACE i TMEM27
(p > 0,05). U 56,06% uzoraka plaka nije detektovana
ekspresija iRNK za ACE2. U plakovima u kojima je
detektovana ekspresija iRNK za ACE2, njen nivo bio je viši
kod žena sa HoP u poređenju sa ženama sa HerP (p <
0,001). U grupi bolesnika sa fenotipom HoP, žene su imale
viši nivo iRNK za ACE2 nego muškarci (p < 0,05). U grupi
muškaraca, nivoi ekspresije ACE proteina bili suznačajno
niži u fenotipu HoP u poređenju sa HerP (p < 0,001). Žene
sa fenotipom HoP imale su značajno viši nivo ACE
proteina u poređenju sa muškarcima sa HoP (p < 0,0001).
Zaključak. Naši rezultati pokazali su da postoje promene
nivoa ekspresije ACE i ACE2, na nivou proteina i iRNK u
uznapredovaloj karotidnoj As. Te promene zavise od pola i
FP i mogu ukazivati na to da balans ose RAS/ACE/ACE2
