Antiallergic Effects of Technologically Processed Antibodies to MHC II.

The risk of developing anaphylactic reactions to medications introduces additional difficulties for effective pharmacotherapy. Using a model of systemic anaphylaxis in mice, we showed that preventive administration of a preparation containing technologically processed antibodies (TPA) to MHC II induces an anti-anaphylactic effect comparable to that of dexamethasone (when assessing the severity of systemic anaphylaxis 30 and 60 min after challenge injection of the model antigen ovalbumin). The revealed activity may be related to the ability of TPA to MHC II to regulate the antigen presentation system and shift the immune response towards the production of IgG instead of IgE typical of anaphylactic reaction.

[Peculiar features of experimental damages on fabric targets caused by ricocheted bullets fired from a smooth-bore hunting gun].

The objective of work was to study experimentally gunshot damages on fabric targets caused by ricocheted 'Poleva 2' bullets (12/70) fired from a smooth-bore hunting gun. An ultraconcrete plate fixed in a special uniquely designed installation was used as a barrier. During the experiments, the authors changed the angle of incidence between the bullet and the barrier, as well as the distance between the barrier and the target.

Hierarchical structure priming from mathematics to two- and three-site relative clause attachment.

A number of recent studies found evidence for shared structural representations across different cognitive domains such as mathematics, music, and language. For instance, Scheepers et al. (2011) showed that English speakers' choices of relative clause (RC) attachments in partial sentences like The tourist guide mentioned the bells of the church that … can be influenced by the structure of previously solved prime equations such as 80-(9 + 1) × 5 (making high RC-attachments more likely) versus 80-9 + 1 × 5 (making low RC-attachments more likely).

[The possibilities for the expert diagnostics of the influence of the glance of a bullet on the character of the injuries inflicted by shooting a hunting weapon].

The objective of the present work was to study and analyze the available data concerning the influence of the glance of a bullet on the character of the injuries inflicted by shooting certain types of hunting weapons. This review gives evidence of the possibility of the objective diagnostics of the injuries inflicted by gunshots using the rifle-bore weapons. However, we have failed to find information about the diagnostic criteria for the evaluation of the wounds inflicted by the bullets shot from smooth-bore hunting rifles after their glance from various surfaces in the available special literature publications.
