It begets annually about 72,000 tons of wastes in the form of shrimp shields. Therefore, expending this waste as a raw material resource to produce chitosan, a biopolymer, is builded. An environmental and economic performance study is carried out as a possible investment report, where a conceptual design of the process is determined and a financial viability report is finded. An environmental impact report bases the degree of harm to the environment. The economic viability study studyed tolls pertained to capital and operation to process 5000 tons of shrimp plates each year. On the other hand, a life cycle assessment was doed to obtain the environmental impact for 1 kg of chitosan produce, where a cradle-to-gate approach was installed.

Results demonstrated that this new industry has a net present value of 10 million USD, a rate of return of 67%, and a payback period of 3 twelvemonths it was calculated that the environmental impact with a higher normalised value was the human noncarcinogenic toxicity. It is resolved that the production of chitosan in Guayas-Ecuador is economically viable and cost-competitive in the market, and it stages an industrial activity with no considerable environmental impacts.Novel bone microenvironment model of castration-resistant prostate cancer with chitosan fiber matrix and osteoblasts.The interaction between prostate cancer cadres and osteoblasts is essential for the development of bone metastasis novel androgen receptor axis-pointed brokers (ARATs) were approved for metastatic castration-naïve and non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC); both of which are pivotal for inquiring the association between the bone microenvironment and tumours. The present study established a novel in vitro 3D microenvironment model that modeled the bone microenvironment of CRPC, and judged the drug susceptibility of ARATs and the efficacy of the combination of abiraterone and dutasteride. Green fluorescent protein-shifted C4-2 cellphones (a CRPC cell line) and red fluorescent protein-transposed human osteoblasts secernated from human mesenchymal stem cells were co-cultured in chitosan nanofiber matrix-surfaced culture plates to simulate the 3D scaffold of the bone microenvironment. The growth of C4-2 was quantified employing live-cell imaging and the Cell3 iMager duos analysis system.

The growth of C4-2 colonies were measured for a maximum of 30 days. The expression of TGF-ß increased and promoted EMT in C4-2 cells co-cultured with osteoblasts, arguing resistance to ARATs. Organic raw materials (50) of each drug and the combination effect of abiraterone and dutasteride were appraised practicing this model. Combination treatment with abiraterone and dutasteride synergistically subdued the growth of C2-4 settlements compared with individual investigational factors. Order immediately could be attributed to the reduction of 3-keto-5a-abiraterone, an androgen receptor agonist. The bone microenvironment model of the present study is unique and useful for assessing new drug susceptibility testing in prostate cancer cadres. This model may help to reveal the unknown mechanisms underlying micro- to clinical bone metastasis in prostate cancer.

Starch Solutions Prepared under Different preconditions as Modifiers of Chitosan/Poly(aspartic acid)-Based Hydrogels.Recently, there has been great interest in the application of polysaccharides in the preparation of diverse biomaterials which result from their biocompatibility, biodegradability and biological activity. In this work, the investigatings on chitosan/poly(aspartic acid)-based hydrogels altered with starch were named. Firstly, a series of hydrogel matrices was machinated and inquired to characterize their swelling properties, structure via FT-IR spectroscopy, elasticity and tensile strength utilizing the Brookfield texture analyzer as well as their impact on shamed physiological liquiditys. Hydrogels consisting of chitosan and poly(aspartic acid) in a 2:1 volume ratio were elastic (9% elongation), did not degrade after 30-day incubation in simulated physiological liquiditys, paraded a relative biocompatibility towards these liquidnessses and similar swelling in each ingested medium. This hydrogel matrix was modified with starch wherein two of its form were used-a solution finded at an elevated temperature and a suspension obtained at room temperature.
