On the Cryptic Speciation in the Mosses with East Asia-East North America Disjunction: A Case Study of Two Poorly Understood Mosses from the Southern Extremity of the Russian Far East.

A survey of the moss flora of the southernmost part of the Russian Primorsky Territory yielded several intriguing taxa, whose identity is assessed herein based on an integrative morpho-molecular approach. was previously known in inland Asia only from the Sino-Himalayan region and the new locality is distant from the earlier known ones to ca. 3000 km.

[Psychoemotional state and sexual function in women with chronic pelvic pain in genital endometriosis].

The of this review is to consider current ideas about psychophysiology of chronic pelvic pain (CPP) in external genital endometriosis (GE), as well as the impact of the psychoemotional state and sexual function in women with CPP on its development and maintenance. The review is based on the study of original Russian and English-language articles and our own extensive clinical experience. References are made to statistically reliable, randomized and placebo-controlled studies of the last 20 years, in some cases to small and open-ended studies indicating their low evidence.

[Free Immunoglobulin Light Chains in Patients With Myocarditis: a New Biomarker of Inflammation and Heart Failure].

Aim: To study the concentration of immunoglobulin free light chains (FLCs) in patients with myocarditis in comparison with non-inflammatory heart diseases, their relationship with inflammatory markers and the severity of chronic heart failure (CHF).

Material And Methods: This study included 77 patients (31 women, mean age 54.1±13.

New Data on the Distribution and Systematic Position of , a Poorly Known Species from Gymnomitriaceae (Marchantiophyta).

was recorded for the first time outside of Japan in Jeju-do in the Republic of Korea. The new data significantly improve the knowledge of the species distribution. An analysis of the phylogenetic affinities of the species based on nuclear ITS and plastid L-F regions showed that it is resolved within the clade corresponding to sect.

Changes in the Tissue Barrier after Exposure to Lipopolysaccharide on the Apical Side of Enterocytes and the Follicle-Associated Epithelium in Peyer's Patches of the Rat Intestine.

To study the para- and transcellular permeability of columnar epithelium and follicle-associated epithelium of Peyer's patches in the rat intestine, LPS was applied from the mucosal side to simulate the action of endotoxins from gram-negative bacteria of gut microbiota. LPS did not affect transepithelial resistance or sodium fluorescein permeability, but increased the levels of claudin-3 and claudin-4 in enterocytes, suggesting strengthening of the paracellular intestinal barrier. Transcellular permeability was evaluated by electron microscopy based on the number of vesicular structures in the cytoplasm of different cell types.
