RIULS

Repository of Iasi University of Life Sciences, ROMANIA

Welcome to RIULS!

The mission of the University’s institutional repository is to manage, preserve and disseminate, in open access, the academic and institutional output of the university’s academic community. It also aims to promote values and personalities belonging to Romanian agricultural science, by storing digitized versions of rare books and manuscripts from its collections.

The repository is part of the international movement known as open science, which promotes free access to scientific literature. This translates into maximized impact of the work carried out by researchers, contribution to improving access to knowledge, increased visibility of the institution through the works of its authors and improvement of its search engine ranking.

All documents deposited in the repository receive a unique and persistent identifier called a Handle, thus guaranteeing perpetual access to scientific output through permanent links.

RIULS Repository of Iași University of Life Sciences is indexed in Duraspace, OpenDOAR,CORE,Google Scholar,BASE (Bielefeld Academic Search Engine) and ROAR (Registry of Open Access Repositories), global Directories of Open Access Repositories.

Radiolabeled multi-layered coated gold nanoparticles as potential biocompatible PET/SPECT tracers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2024-03-15) Urîtu, Cristina M.; Al-Matarneh, Cristina M.; Bostiog, Denisse I.; Coroabă, Adina; Ghizdovăț, Vlad; Filipiuc, Silviu I.; Simionescu, Natalia; Ștefănescu, Cipriana; Jalloul, Wael; Năstasă, Valentin; Tamba, Bogdan I.; Maier, Stelian S.; Pinteală, Mariana
The demand for tailored, disease-adapted, and easily accessible radiopharmaceuticals is one of the most persistent challenges in nuclear imaging precision medicine. The aim of this work was to develop two multimodal radiotracers applicable for both SPECT and PET techniques, which consist of a gold nanoparticle core, a shell involved in radioisotope entrapment, peripherally placed targeting molecules, and biocompatibilizing polymeric sequences. Shell decoration with glucosamine units located in sterically hindered molecular environments is expected to result in nanoparticle accumulation in high-glucose-consuming areas. Gold cores were synthesized using the Turkevich method, followed by citrate substitution with linear PEG α,ω-functionalized with thiol and amine groups. The free amine groups facilitated the binding of branched polyethyleneimine through an epoxy ring-opening reaction by using PEG α,ω-diglycidyl ether as a linker. Afterwards, the glucose–PEG–epoxy prepolymer has been grafted onto the surface of AuPEG–PEI conjugates. Finally, the AuPEG–PEI–GA conjugates were radiolabeled with 99mTc or 68Ga. Instant thin-layer chromatography was used to evaluate the radiolabeling yield. The biocompatibility of non-labeled and 99mTc or 68Ga labeled nanoparticles was assessed on normal fibroblasts. The 99mTc complexes remained stable for over 22 hours, while the 68Ga containing ones revealed a slight decrease in stability after 1 hour.

Evaluation of turkey liver pate and cannerd turkey ham quality through sensory, chemical and microbiologica analyses
(Alma Mater Publishing House, 2026-03-27) Davidescu, Mădălina-Alexandra; Simeanu, Cristina; Mădescu, Bianca-Maria; Usturoi, Alexandru; Doliș, Mariu-Gheorghe; Lăpușneanu, Dragoș-Mihai; Pânzaru, Claudia
This study aimed to compare two canned turkey meat products, respectively turkey liver pâté and canned turkey ham, through sensory, physico-chemical, and microbiological analyses. Sensory evaluation was conducted using a 5-point scale across five parameters (appearance, color, taste, texture, and packaging), assessed by 12 panelists. The canned turkey ham achieved a higher average score (18.17 out of 25 points) compared to the liver pâté (17.25 out of 25 points), mainly in terms of texture and color. Physicochemical determinations included measurements of sodium chloride (NaCl), nitrites (NO2-) moisture, protein, and fat. The liver pâté presented higher fat content (24.80 g·100 g-1), nitrites (5.64 mg·100 g-1), and greater variability in moisture content (62.79-71.14 %), while the canned ham showed lower fat (3.92 g·100 g-1), higher protein (14.80 g·100 g-1), and more uniform composition. Both products were within the acceptable limits for NaCl content (1.35 g·100 g-1 in pâté; 1.19 g·100 g-1 in ham). Microbiological tests confirmed the absence of Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli in all samples. Hermetic sealing was verified, indicating compliance with food safety requirements. In conclusion, both products meet quality and safety standards, but the canned turkey ham demonstrates better nutritional balance and technological consistency, while the liver pâté may benefit from improved standardization of fat, moisture, and salt content.

Oxytocin modulates social preference and anxiety-like locomotor behavior in albino and non-albino zebrafish
(Association of Basic Medical Sciences of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2026) Dănilă, Ana-Maria; Savuca, Alexandra; Nicoară, Mircea-Nicușor; Ciobîcă, Alin-Stelian; Novac, Bogdan; Chiriac, Ștefan; Tomiță, Daniela; Ilie, Ovidiu-Dumitru
Socio-emotional and exploratory behaviors in zebrafish (Danio rerio) are shaped by conserved neuromodulators such as oxytocin (OXT), yet phenotypic variation (e.g., albinism) may modify sensitivity to OXT-dependent regulation. Here, we tested whether pigmentation phenotype alters behavioral responses to acute OXT across structured social and anxiogenic contexts. Adult albino (A; n = 30) and non-albino (N; n = 30) zebrafish (total n = 60; equal allocation across 6 groups, n = 10/group) were exposed to OXT by immersion (33.2 ng/mL, 15 min) under a 2 × 3 factorial design (Phenotype × Dosing regimen: Vehicle; OXT single exposure assessed at 24 h; OXT repeated exposure assessed at 48 h) and evaluated using the social preference test (SPT), social interaction (SI) test, and novel tank test (NTT). In the SPT, decision-zone occupancy and mean distance to the non-social arm were robustly modulated by dosing (p < 0.0001; p = 0.007) without phenotype × dosing interactions; locomotor outputs (swimming distance, p = 0.040; velocity, p = 0.041; counterclockwise rotations, p = 0.006) also showed dosing effects only, supporting a dissociation between social allocation and global motor output. In the SI test, stimulus-zone occupancy showed a significant main effect of phenotype (p = 0.009), independent of dosing, and locomotor indices similarly exhibited phenotype effects without interaction (swimming distance and velocity, p = 0.017; mobile-state duration, p = 0.002). In contrast, the NTT revealed phenotype-dependent locomotor regulation: highly mobile duration showed a significant interaction (p = 0.002) with strong main effects of phenotype and dosing (both p < 0.001), while immobile duration displayed an interaction (p = 0.015) and dosing effect (p = 0.005), driven primarily by the non-albino phenotype; clockwise rotation (p = 0.018) and active-state duration (p = 0.030) further indicated phenotype-related differences. Collectively, OXT exerts context- and dosing-regimen-dependent modulation in zebrafish, with social allocation primarily dosing-driven and largely phenotype-independent, whereas anxiety-related locomotor dynamics show marked phenotype specificity.

Some of the Newest Therapeutic Methods in Canine Atopic Dermatitis
(MDPI, 2026-04-20) Mazilu, Constantin-Cătălin; Strichea, Anamaria-Hortensia; Solcan, Gheorghe
Canine atopic dermatitis is a hereditary chronic inflammatory and pruritic skin disease, which is mediated by T cells and requires long-term, individualized management. In recent years, numerous studies have described a wide range of therapeutic approaches for canine atopic dermatitis, including fast-acting symptomatic treatments, long-term immune-modulating interventions, and strategies to support skin barrier function and microbial balance. This review summarizes the principal treatment modalities currently available, including glucocorticoids, cyclosporine A, mycophenolate, Janus kinase inhibitors, lokivetmab, and allergen-specific immunotherapy, as well as complementary strategies aimed at restoring skin barrier integrity. Emphasis is placed on the importance of a multimodal and personalized approach to optimize long-term disease control and improve quality of life in affected dogs. Providing an integrated overview of current evidence, this article aims to guide clinicians in making informed, evidence-based decisions and to support the safe and effective management of canine atopic dermatitis.
