Heteroleptic Complexes of Ruthenium Nitrosyl with Pyridine and Bypiridine-Synthesis and Photoisomerization.

The reaction of [RuNO(Py)ClOH] with bipyridine in water-ethanol media results in trans-(NO, OH)-[RuNO(Py)(Bpy)ClOH] with an acceptable yield (60-70%) as hexafluorophosphate salt. Further treatment of the hydroxy-complex with concentrated HF quantitatively leads to trans-(NO, F)-[RuNO(Py)(Bpy)ClF]. Despite the chirality of both coordination spheres, the hexafluorophosphate salts crystallized as racemates.

Origin of Long-Range Hyperfine Couplings in the EPR Spectra of 2,2,5,5-Tetraethylpyrrolidine-1-oxyls.

Cyclic nitroxides with several bulky alkyl substituents adjacent to the nitroxide group are known to demonstrate a much higher stability to bioreduction than their tetramethyl analogues. Among these so-called "sterically shielded" nitroxides, the pyrrolidine derivatives are the most stable. The EPR spectra of some sterically shielded pyrrolidine-1-oxyls were reported to show one or two large additional doublet splittings with a hyperfine coupling (hfc) constant (ca.

Unbalanced translocations involving chromosome region 10q25.3q26.3 in patients with intellectual disability and complex phenotypes.

We describe 2 Ukrainian families with unbalanced reciprocal translocations (RTs) involving the distal part of chromosome 10q. In both families, the fathers were healthy carriers of the RT. Two affected patients from the first family had an ∼2.

[Karyotyping results of spontaneous abortions and miscarriages specimens obtained after using assisted reproductive technologies].

The results of molecular cytogenetic study of spontaneous abortions and material non progressive pregnancies in the first trimester in 43 couples who were treated with various methods of ART are presented in this report. Chromosomal pathology (CP) was present in 28 (65 %) samples of chorionic villi. A comparative analysis of the frequency and types of CPs in groups, composed according to the pathological states in the semen of men was done.

[Genetic factors of male infertility. The role of complex examination in the cases of different spermatogenesis disorders].

Data about some male infertility genetic factors is presented and methods that can be used for its diagnostics are considered. Among genetic factors changes of the genetic apparatus at gene level (mutations), chromosome level (chromosomal aberrations), and total DNA (chromatin dispersion, DNA fragmentation) are pointed out. Beside standard cytogenetic diagnostic techniques, spermogram and DNA diagnostics, there are a number of molecular-cytogenetic methods (FISH, TUNEL, SCSA, SCGE, SCD).
