Background: Despite implemented measures and general favourable trend, number of patients with myocardial infarction remains high, younger people are increasingly becoming ill and dying. The study purpose: to estimate age-sex mortality dynamics from acute and recurrent myocardial infarction in adults in Moscow compared to Russia's average in 2007-2021 to reveal patterns of mortality change within the implementation period of state prevention programs.
Material And Methods: Standardized adult mortality rates for Moscow and Russia, mean expected age at death within interval 20-85 years and gain in life expectancy when eliminating this cause calculated and analyzed.
Bacterial adaptation to cold stress requires wide transcriptional reprogramming. However, the knowledge of molecular mechanisms underlying the cold stress response of mycobacteria is limited. We conducted comparative transcriptomic analysis of subjected to cold shock.

Here, we analyzed the role of MTS1338 in the Mtb response to macrophage-like stresses in vitro.

The latter is connected with the bacterium resting state development and is considered to be based on the activity of toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems at least in part. Here we studied the physiological and proteomic consequences of VapC toxin overexpression together with the features of the protein synthesis apparatus and compared them with the characteristics of dormant mycobacterial cells in an M.

Thus, alterations in transcription profile following phagocytosis by neutrophils and how these shifts differ from those caused by macrophage phagocytosis remain unknown. We developed a mouse model that allows obtaining large amounts of either neutrophils or macrophages infected in vivo with for mycobacteria isolation in quantities sufficient for the whole genome RNA sequencing and aerosol challenge of mice.
