Fast and accurate multiplex identification and quantification of seven genetically modified soybean lines using six-color digital PCR
Alexandra Bogožalec Košir, Sabine Muller, Jana Žel, Mojca Milavec, Allison C. Mallory, David Dobnik, 2023, izvirni znanstveni članek

Povzetek: The proliferation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) presents challenges to GMO testing laboratories and policymakers. Traditional methods, like quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), face limitations in quantifying the increasing number of GMOs in a single sample. Digital PCR (dPCR), specifically multiplexing, offers a solution by enabling simultaneous quantification of multiple GMO targets. This study explores the use of the Naica six-color Crystal dPCR platform for quantifying five GM soybean lines within a single six-plex assay. Two four-color assays were also developed for added flexibility. These assays demonstrated high specificity, sensitivity (limit of detection or LOD < 25 copies per reaction) and precision (bias to an estimated copy number concentration <15%). Additionally, two approaches for the optimization of data analysis were implemented. By applying a limit-of-blank (LOB) correction, the limit of quantification (LOQ) and LOD could be more precisely determined. Pooling of reactions additionally lowered the LOD, with a two- to eight-fold increase in sensitivity. Real-life samples from routine testing were used to confirm the assays’ applicability for quantifying GM soybean lines in complex samples. This study showcases the potential of the six-color Crystal dPCR platform to revolutionize GMO testing, facilitating comprehensive analysis of GMOs in complex samples.

Diketopyrrolopyrrole pigment core@multi-layer ▫$SiO_2$▫ shell with improved photochemical stability
Erika Švara Fabjan, Zineb Saghi, Paul A. Midgley, Mojca Otoničar, Goran Dražić, Miran Gaberšček, Andrijana Sever Škapin, 2018, izvirni znanstveni članek

Povzetek: A model organic pigment (diketopyrrolopyrrole) is encapsulated by a silica coating in order to improve its photochemical stability. Unlike in previous works where single-layer silica coatings were used for similar purposes, we here propose creation of a multi-layer silica shell synthesized via in-situ sol-gel method, which should significantly improve the homogeneity and thus the protection ability of the coating. This is done by repeating the basic two-step process (pigment surface modification and silica encapsulation) several times, creating the final protective shell in a layer-by-layer fashion. The compositional and structural properties of the prepared coatings is studied using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, differential thermal and thermogravimetric analysis, nitrogen adsorption measurements and transmission electron microscopy. Photochemical stability of non-encapsulated and encapsulated pigment particles is evaluated via the so-called fast-irradiation method. Various correlations between the essential coating properties, such as thickness, porosity, SiO2 content, and the corresponding photochemical stability of the samples are established and discussed in detail. As a whole, our results confirm the basic hypothesis, that multiple-layered silica shells show improved pigment protection ability in comparison to the single-layer coatings.

Quality checking of polymer modified bitumens in Slovenia
Marjan Tušar, Lidija Ržek, Mojca Ravnikar Turk, 2021, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci

Povzetek: For many years the properties of bitumen have been determined based on mechanical tests as needle penetration, Ring&Ball and Fraass fracture temperature. For elastomer (styrene-butadiene-styrene) polymer modified bitumens these tests are not sufficient to show the important differences in bitumens. Elastic recovery and cohesion provide better insight, but rheological properties cannot be adequately described with conventional test. The requirements of the polymer modified bitumens (PmB) in Europe were defined in EN14023 in 2010 [1]. Since then several new tests were introduced in the research field and their procedures improved. In the European Standards Committee (CEN) TC 336, there is on-going work to develop performance related specifications. New laboratory test methods from American standards were adapted and transformed into EN standards (bitumen laboratory aging methods and rheological tests). These test methods are not yet employed in the cur-rent PmB European standard, however, the draft prEN 14023, April 2020 [2] suggests these new tests. In the recent years at ZAG Laboratory for asphalts and bitumen-based products long-term aging of bitumen by pressure aging vessel (PAV) and rheological tests were introduced. Traditional bitumen test methods are performed together with new rheological testse.g. Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) testing, to characterize complex modulus and phase angle, and Multiple Stress Creep Recovery Test (MSCRT) in order to develop a preliminary data base on PmB’s, which are frequently used in Slovenia. The paper presents the current requirements for PmB’s in Slovenia and test results on PmB 45/80-65, original, laboratory aged and extracted from produced asphalt mixtures.
Ključne besede: polymer modified bitumen, recovered bitumen, laboratory ageing, dynamic shear rheometer, multiple stress creep recovery test

Incidenca raka v prvem letu epidemije covida-19
Vesna Zadnik, Tina Žagar, Nika Bric, Mojca Birk, Amela Duratović Konjević, Ana Mihor, Katarina Lokar, Sonja Tomšič, 2023, strokovni članek

Povzetek: Uvod: Število novih diagnoz raka (incidenca) se v Sloveniji v zadnjem desetletju povečuje za povprečno 1,6 % na leto. V letu 2020, prvem letu omejitvenih ukrepov zaradi epidemije covida19, smo s platformo OnKOvid predvideli 3–8-odstotni padec novih diagnoz raka. Namen je predstaviti uradno incidenco raka za Slovenijo za leto 2020 in ugotoviti, kolikšen je bil dejansko manko novih diagnoz raka. Metode: V Registru raka Republike Slovenije smo v skladu z mednarodnimi pravili registrirali vse nove primere raka pri prebivalcih s stalnim prebivališčem v Sloveniji. Primerjali smo jih z registrirano incidenco za 2019, modelno incidenco za 2020, preliminarnimi rezultati OnKovida in dostopnimi rezultati incidence iz registrov raka iz drugih držav. Rezultati: V letu 2020 je za rakom zbolelo 15.096 oseb v Sloveniji (7.034 žensk, 8.002 moška). Glede na modelno oceno incidence za leto 2020 gre za manko 1.854 oseb (10,9 %; 11,6 % žensk, 10,4 % moških). Pri tem je za 10,5 % manj ugotovljenih rakov v omejenem stadiju, najbolj izrazito v starosti 50–69 let (za 13,2 %). Upad je primerljiv s poročili iz Anglije, ZDA in Kanade ter deloma večji kot na Škotskem in Švedskem. Najbolj izrazit upad novih diagnoz raka ugotavljamo pri nemelanomskem kožnem raku (23 %, najbolj po 50. letu), raku prostate (15,9 %, najbolj v omejenem stadiju), pljučnem raku (8,9 %, 60–64 let, v razširjenem stadiju), raku dojk (8,3 %, 45–64 let), ne-Hodgkinovem limfomu (9 %) in levkemijah (11,6 %). Pri kožnem melanomu, raku debelega črevesa in danke ni bilo primanjkljaja. Zaključek: Upad incidence raka v letu 2020 gre verjetno na račun omejitvenih ukrepov, reorganizacije zdravstva in z zdravjem povezanega vedenja med epidemijo covida-19, beležijo jo v več državah. Med epidemijami je potrebno nemoteno izvajanje onkologije.

Volumetric view on asphalt mixture
Marjan Tušar, Mojca Ravnikar Turk, Lidija Ržek, 2023, objavljeni znanstveni prispevek na konferenci

Povzetek: An asphalt layer consists of stone aggregates, binder and air voids. The content of air voids (Vmin and Vmax), the voids filled with bitumen (VFBmin and VFBmax), the content of air voids in stone aggregates (VMAmin and VMAmax) and volume content of bitumen (VBmin) should be determined for each type of asphalt mixture. The volumetric properties of asphalt layer listed above are important parameters for assessing the properties of asphalt and are usually first presented in the requirements for produced asphalt mixtures and built in asphalt layers. Visualization of volumetric properties is important for understanding the composition of the produced asphalt mixture. The most appropriate is a triangular representation of the volumetric requirements for three main components of asphalt layer (stone, bitumen and air).
Ključne besede: volumetric representation, asphalt mixture, void content, voids in aggregate

Tumor vaccines
Mojca Frank Bertoncelj, Alojz Ihan, 2006, pregledni znanstveni članek

Povzetek: Tumor vaccines have several potential advantages over standard anticancer regirrcents. They represent highly specific anticancer therapy. Inducing tumor-specific memory T-lymphocytes, they have potential for long-lived antitumor effects. However, clinical trials, in which cancer patients were vaccinated with tccmor aaccines, have been so far mainly disappointing. There are many reasons for the inefficiency of tumor vaccines. Most cancer antigens are normal self-molecules to which imrrtune tolerance exists. That is why the population of tumor-specific lymphocytes is represented by a small number of low-affinity T-lymphocytes that induce weak antitumor immune response. Simultaneously, tumors evolve many mechanisms to actively evade immune system,what makes them poorly immunogenic or even tolerogenic. Novel irrtmunotherapeutic strategies are directed toward breaking immune tolerance to tumor antigens, enhancing immunogenicity of tumor vaccines and overcoming mechanisms of tumor escape. There are several approaches, unfortunately, all of them still far away from an ideal tumor vaccine that would reject a tumor. Difficulties in the activation of antitumor immune response by tumor vaccines have led to the development of alternative immunotherapeutic strategies that directly focus on effector mechanisms of immune system (adoptive tumor-specific T-lymphocyte transfer and tumor specific monoclonal antibodies).

Radiologic imaging of acute pancreatitis
Mojca Glušič, Erika Brenčič, Peter Popović, 2004, strokovni članek

Povzetek: Background. Acute pancreatitis comprises a broad spectrum of inflammatory changes in the gland and has a variety of causes. The most common are alcoholism and biliary tract disease. This paper discusses the current concepts of diagnosis and the relationship between morphology as depieted by imaging, pancreatic function tests and treatment planning. Conclusions. Our understanding of the morphologic changes produced by the inflammatory process has expanded in the last decade as more sophisticated imaging techniques have been used for evaluation.

Psychosocial coping strategies in cancer patients
Lilijana Šprah, Mojca Šoštarič, 2004, pregledni znanstveni članek

Povzetek: Background. The aim of this review is to present common psychosocial problems in cancer patients and their possible coping strategies. Cancer patients are occupied with many psychosocial problems, which are only partially related to their health state and medical treatments. They are faced with a high social pressure, based on prejudices and stereotypes of this illness. The review presents the process of confrontation with the cancer diagnosis and of managing the psychological consequences of cancer. The effects of specific coping styles, psychosocial interventions and a social support on initiation, progression and recurrence of cancer are also described. Conclusions. Althoughsome recent meta-analysis could not provide scientific evidence for the association befween coping strategies and the cancer initiation, the progression or the recurrence (neither have studies rejected the thesis of association), the therapeutic window for the psychosocial intervention is still wide and shows an important effect on the quality of lives of many cancer patients.
