The Link between miRNAs and PCKS9 in Atherosclerosis

Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CDV) represents the major cause of death globally. Atherosclerosis, as the primary cause of CVD, is a chronic immune-inflammatory disorder with complex multifactorial pathophysiology encompassing oxidative stress, enhanced immune-inflammatory cascade, endothelial dysfunction, and thrombosis. An initiating event in atherosclerosis is the subendothelial accumulation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), followed by the localization of macrophages to fatty deposits on...

Two Isomers of a Novel Ag(I) Complex with Pyrazole-Type Ligand—Synthesis, Structural, Thermal, and Antioxidative Characterization

The synthesis of the first Ag(I) complexes with ethyl-5-amino-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate (L) is presented. The reaction of AgClO4 with the ligand in a molar ratio of 1:1 gives a bis(ligand) complex [AgL2]ClO4 (1) in the presence of 4-formylbenzonitrile, monoperiodic polymer {[AgL2]ClO4}n (2). Characterization involved IR spectroscopy, conductometric measurements, thermogravimetric analysis, antioxidant tests, powder, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analysis revealed ligand...

Anthropometric Characteristics and Weight Status of Early Adolescents (Aged 12–14) in Montenegro; Urban–Rural and Regional Differences

The aim of this study was to determine urban–rural and regional differences in anthropometric characteristics among adolescents aged 12–14, as well as to present the prevalence of weight status. A total of 534 adolescents aged 12–14 from primary schools across Montenegro participated in this cross-sectional study (283 boys, aged 13.52 ± 0.42, body height 169.43 ± 8.89, body weight 60.54 ± 13.47; 251 girls, aged 13.51 ± 0.40, body height 165.54 ± 6.67, body weight 55.28 ± 9.27). The sample was divided...

On the Exact Analytical Formulas of Leakage Current-Based Supercapacitor Model Operating in Industrial Applications

The resistance–capacitance (RC) model is one of the most applicable circuits for modeling the charging and discharging processes of supercapacitors (SCs). Although this circuit is usually used in the electric and thermal investigation of the performance of SCs, it does not include leakage currents. This paper presents exact analytical formulas of leakage-current-based supercapacitor models that can be used in industrial applications, i.e., constant-power-based applications. In the proposed model,...

Disturbance Rejection-Based Optimal PID Controllers for New 6ISO AVR Systems

In the literature, different approaches that are employed in designing automatic voltage regulators (AVRs) usually model the AVR as a single-input-single-output system, where the input is the generator reference voltage, and the output is the generator voltage. Alternately, it could be thought of as a double-input, single-output system, with the excitation voltage change serving as the additional input. In this paper, unlike in the existing literature, we designed the AVR system as a sextuple-input...

Decompression procedure as a successful initial approach to large maxillary dentigerous cyst in 12- year-old boy - a case report

Introduction. A dentigerous cyst is a pathological lesion associated with the crown of the unerupted or impacted tooth. Decompression is proposed as the initial treatment for large cysts, especially in younger patients. The aim of this study was to present clinical, radiological, histopathological, and therapeutical aspects of the large dentigerous cyst in the maxilla. Case report. A 12-year-old boy with a large dentigerous cyst in the maxilla was referred to our clinic. A dentigerous cyst was associated...

SNP Diversity and Genetic Structure of “Rogosija”, an Old Western Balkan Durum Wheat Collection

Durum wheat landraces represent a genetic resource for the identification and isolation of new valuable genes and alleles, useful to increase the crop adaptability to climate change. Several durum wheat landraces, all denominated “Rogosija”, were extensively cultivated in the Western Balkan Peninsula until the first half of the 20th century. Within the conservation program of the Montenegro Plant Gene Bank, these landraces were collected, but without being characterized. The main goal of this study...
