Far Eastern Scarlet-Like Fever is a Special Clinical and Epidemic Manifestation of Infection in Russia.

Pseudotuberculosis in humans until the 1950s was found in different countries of the world as a rare sporadic disease that occurred in the form of acute appendicitis and mesenteric lymphadenitis. In Russia and Japan, the () infection often causes outbreaks of the disease with serious systemic inflammatory symptoms, and this variant of the disease has been known since 1959 as Far Eastern Scarlet-like Fever (FESLF). Russian researchers have proven that the FESLF pathogen is associated with a concrete clonal line of characterized by a specific plasmid profile (pVM82, pYV 48 MDa), sequence (2ST) and gene allele (1st allele).

Effect of Preparation Based on Trametes Pubescens Xylotroph Fungi on Lipid Peroxidation in the Blood of Experimental Animals under Conditions of Dark Stress.

Using the model of dark stress caused by animal maintenance at dimmed light we showed that Trametin (product obtained during liquid-phase culturing of Trametes pubescens xylotroph fungi) effectively prevented oxidative stress under conditions of light deprivation. The preparation increased the level of unsaturation of lipids, reduced the concentration of primary and end-products of LPO, and increases both the integral parameter of the antioxidant defense system (total antioxidant activity) and its components (activity of superoxide dismutase and reduced glutathione).

[Functional state of the lower urinary tract in children with enuresis].

Basing on rich statistical materials, the authors studied functional state of the lower urinary tracts in children and adolescents with enuresis. A noticeable reservoir dysfunction of the bladder was found in the probands while evacuatory function did not differ much from healthy controls.

[The entry portals and routes of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis penetration into the warm-blooded organism].

This work presents data indicating that Y. pseudotuberculosis population, cultivated at lower temperature (6-8 degrees C), has a high potential of cellular and tissue invasiveness. Pseudotuberculosis has been experimentally shown to start as generalized infection due to the rapid (during 10-15 minutes) penetration of the infective agent through the epithelium of the mouth cavity, the small intestine, the urinary bladder, conjunctiva, pulmonary alveoli and vascular walls into the blood and then into internal organs.

[Chemotaxis of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis as a mechanism in its search for target tissues of the host organism].

Y. pseudotuberculosis cells grown at biologically low temperature have been shown capable of chemotaxis with respect to carbohydrates and amino acids. During cultivation at 36-37 degrees C Y.

[Pathomorphology of the intestine and regional lymphatic system in pseudotuberculosis].

Available are data obtained at light and electron microscopy of operative specimens from patients with abdominal pseudotuberculosis and animals challenged orally with Yersinia pseudotuberculosis. The authors are the first to outline detailed characteristics of the intestinal and regional lymph node lesion arising in response to the infection and reflecting growing resistance to it. These features of pathological process involve marked tissue eosinophilia, necrosis due to phagocytes rexis, and granulomatosis suggesting a pronounced role in the pathogenesis of the body allergization in the course of infection.
