Ultra-structural organization of the gallbladder mucous membrane of Anglo-Nubian goat.

Currently, studies devoted to establish the anatomical and histological patterns of the internal organs organization in animals depending on their species and breed, as well as conditions of detention are the most relevant. The liver morphology in representatives of the ruminant family has not been sufficiently studied. Questions regarding the micro- and ultra-structural organizations of the gallbladder wall remain open.

Impact of Obesity on Fosphenytoin Volume of Distribution in Pediatric Patients.

The impact of body habitus on fosphenytoin pharmacokinetics is poorly understood in pediatric patients. This retrospective, single-center review examined differences in fosphenytoin volume of distribution (V) between children with normal and obese body habitus. From 2013 to 2015, patients 2 to 18 years of age who received a loading dose of fosphenytoin were identified.

[Evolutionary changes in amino acid composition of dicotyledonous seeds].

Amino acid composition of dicotyledonous seeds of 82 genera, 67 families, 48 orders, and 8 subclasses (after Takhtadzhyan, 1987). Within the frames of hypothesis of amino acid composition of the least specialized hypothetical taxon we have established a universal trend for all dicotyledonous classes--increased proportion of glutamic acid and arginine. Divergent processes are pronounced in the evolution of amino acid composition within the families and orders.

[Adaptive types of prolamins--specialized proteins from cereal seeds (Poaceae Banrh.)].

Amino acid composition of prolamins and the whole seed in representatives of 52 cereal genera and 22 tribes, as well as amino acid composition of seed protein fractions in representatives of 9 cereal genera are presented. In terms of proposed directed evolution of the seed proteins and adaptive role of prolamins in evolution and distribution of cereals, generalized data on their content in seed protein complex, electrophoretic, immunochemical, and amino acid composition of the seeds, we develop the notion of prolamins biochemical specialization and their polyphyletic origin during evolution of cereal seed protein complex. Seven adaptive types of prolamins are recognized: Sasa, Molinia, Chloris, Zingeria, Poa, Triticum, and Panicum types.

[Structural and functional analysis of the human immunodeficiency glycoprotein gp120 with homologous synthetic peptides].

The purpose of the study was to identify sites of gp 120, which are responsible for CD4 binding and induce tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) synthesis. Seven peptides were synthesized from gp 120. The peptides were studied in the following biological tests: binding to CD4 molecules of the Jurkat cell clones 3G6 and PBMC of healthy persons.
