    Abstract Multicomponent self-assembly offers opportunities for the design of complex and functional biomaterials with tunable properties. Here, we demonstrate how minor modifications in the molecular structures of peptide amphiphiles (PAs) and elastin-like recombinamers (ELs) can be used to generate coassembling tubular membranes with distinct structures, properties, and bioactivity. First, by introducing minor modifications in the charge density of PA molecules (PAK2, PAK3, PAK4), different diffusion-reaction processes can be triggered, resulting in distinct membrane microstructures. Second, by combining different types of these PAs prior to their coassembly with ELs, further modifications can be achieved, tuning the structures and properties of the tubular membranes. Finally, by introducing the cell adhesive peptide RGDS in either the PA or EL molecules, it is possible to harness the different diffusion-reaction processes to generate tubular membranes with distinct bioactivities. The study demonstrates the possibility to trigger and achieve minor but crucial differences in coassembling processes and tune material structure and bioactivity. The study demonstrates the possibility to use minor, yet crucial, differences in coassembling processes to tune material structure and bioactivity.

    Abstract Molecular self-assembly is a spontaneous natural process resulting in highly ordered nano to microarchitectures. We report temperature-independent formation of robust stable membranes obtained by the spontaneous interaction of intrinsically disordered elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) with short aromatic peptides at temperatures both below and above the conformational transition temperature of the ELPs. The membranes are stable over time and display durability over a wide range of parameters including temperature, pH, and ultrasound energy. The morphology and composition of the membranes were analyzed using microscopy. These robust structures support preosteoblast cell adhesion and proliferation as well as pH-dependent cargo release. Simple noncovalent interactions with short aromatic peptides can overcome conformational restrictions due to the phase transition to facilitate the formation of complex bioactive scaffolds that are stable over a wide range of environmental parameters. This approach offers novel possibilities for controlling the conformational restriction of intrinsically disordered proteins and using them in the design of new materials.

    Abstract To study urban heat island (UHI), Landsat 5 TM data and in situ measurements of air temperature from nine points in Poznań (Poland) for the period June 2008–May 2013 were used. Based on data from measurement points located in different types of land use, the surface urban heat island (SUHI) maps were created. All available and quality-controlled Landsat 5 TM images from 15 unique days were used to obtain the characteristics of land surface temperature (LST) and UHI intensity. In addition, spatial analysis of UHI was conducted on the basis of Corine Land Cover 2006 dataset. In situ measurements at a height of 2 m above ground level show that the UHI is a common occurrence in Poznań with a mean annual intensity of 1.0 °C. The UHI intensity is greater during the warm half of the year. Moreover, results based on the remote sensing data and the Corine Land Cover 2006 indicate that the highest value of the mean LST anomalies (3.4 °C) is attained by the continuous urban fabric, while the lowest value occurs within the broad-leaved forests (−3.1 °C). To re-count from LST to the air temperature at a height of 2 m above ground level (T ₐgₗ), linear and non-linear regression models were created. For both models, coefficients of determination equal about 0.80, with slightly higher value for the non-linear approach, which was applied to estimate the T ₐgₗ spatial variability over the city of Poznań.

    Abstract Background and aims: Despite the inclusion of the Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) in the International Classification of Diseases, very little is known about the underlying affective and cognitive processes. To fill this gap, we compared CSBD subjects and Healthy-Controls (HC) across negative/positive valence, cognitive and sensorimotor systems, as proposed by the Research Domain Criteria framework.
    Methods: 74 heterosexual CSBD and 66 matched HC males were studied with 10 questionnaires and 8 behavioral tasks. Analyses were conducted with frequent and Bayesian statistics.
    Results: CSBD individuals showed significantly higher (than HC) punishment sensitivity, anxiety, depression, compulsivity, and impulsivity symptoms. Frequentist statistical analysis revealed significant interaction between subject group and condition in Incentive Delay Task, concerning the strength of motivation and hedonic value of erotic rewards. Bayesian analysis produced evidence for the absence of group differences in Facial Discrimination Task, Risk-Ambiguity Task, and Learning Task. Also, Bayesian methods provided evidence for group differences in the Emotional Stroop Task and the Incentive Delay Task. Sexual Discounting Task, Attentional Network Task, and Stop Signal Task produced mixed results.
    Conclusions: Higher punishment sensitivity and impulsivity among CSBD subjects, along with significant interaction between these groups and erotic vs. non-erotic reward processing is in line with previous findings on negative/positive valence alterations in CSBD patients. This result shows that there are similarities to substance and behavioral addictions. The absence of group differences and mixed results related to cognitive and sensorimotor systems raise concerns to what extent CSBD resembles a wide spectrum of impairments observed in disorders, and demand further research.

    Abstract A synergistic set of the strains Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus 151 and Streptococcus thermophilus MK-10 was preserved with the method of spray drying. Studies were performed on the effect of outlet air temperature in range of 60-80 degrees C upon the survival of yoghurt cultures, as well as the moisture content and sensoric properties of yoghurt powder. Survival of yoghurt cultures was the highest at 60 and 65 degrees C, but excessive moisture (10.2%) of yoghurt powder had a negative effect on its texture. Moisture content of the powder was low at 80 degrees C (4.4%), unfortunately sensoric faults appeared at this temperature, and survival of bacteria cultures decreased considerably. Temperatures within the range 70-75 degrees C ensured satisfactory survival of yoghurt cultures (L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus--13.7-15.8%; S. thermophilus--51.6-54.7%), maintained proportion of the strains (L:S--1:3), satisfactory moisutre content (5.1-6.3%), and good sensoric properties of yoghurt powder.

    Abstract Two types of diet - standard and atherogenic - were used to study the effect of wheat or wheat-rye breads supplemented with 20 % acid whey concentrate after ultrafiltration on the physiological response of growing rats. The acid whey concentrate after ultrafiltration used in rat diets caused reduced weight gain (for atherogenic diet with wheat bread); growth of caecum tissue and digesta weight; a decrease in the pH of caecum digesta (for atherogenic diet); reduced activity of bacterial glycolytic enzymes; and a significant increase in total SCFA for both types of diet with wheat-rye breads containing acid whey concentrate. For wheat bread with acid whey, in standard diet, a statistically significant increase was found in the population of bifidobacteria. The results showed that the acid whey concentrates could be used as a valuable food ingredient.

    Abstract Targeted radiopharmaceuticals have been mostly developed to visualize and/or treat oncologic diseases. In targeted radiotherapy radionuclide selection is a key issue, because the radionuclide should provide the appropriate radiation absorbed dose, matching the desirable biologic effect, but at the same time it should preclude irradiation of surrounding healthy tissues. Among the last generation of bisphosphonates with cyclic side chains, zoledronic acid is the most potent bisphosphonate, described till now, which inhibits bone resorption. In this paper, we describe the synthesis, properties and hydroxyapatite binding of zoledronic acid labeled with two low energy beta emitters, (47)Sc and (177)Lu. Radiochemicals labeled with low energy electron emitters are preferred, because they deliver both a therapeutic dose to the bone and spare the bone marrow. Hydroxyapatite adsorption experiments have shown that the binding values obtained with complexes of zoledronic acid labeled with (46)Sc and (177)Lu are much higher than those of bisphosphonates labeled with (153)Sm and (166)Ho. Hence, complexes of zoledronic acid with either (46)Sc or (177)Lu seems to be a promising radiopharmaceutical for bone pain therapy.
