Plants are subjects of interest due to the secondary metabolites in their extracts which are promising as new pharmaceuticals. Phytochemistry do not have united system of sample preparation or analysis still due to different structure of plant cells, wide broad range of chemical properties and concentrations of bioactive compounds. Such challenges can be addressed in a green chemistry manner using new approaches through smart materials in routine monitoring and researches.

Endometriosis has a wide range of clinical manifestations, and the disease course is unpredictable, making the diagnosis a challenging task. Despite significant advances in the pathophysiology of endometriosis and various proposed theories, the exact etiology is not fully understood and is still unknown. The most commonly used biomarker of endometriosis is CA-125, however, it is nonspecific and is applied for cancers diagnosis.

The Aim Of The Study: Comparative evaluation of determining the hygienic state of the mouth in patients using classical methods (index evaluation) and using the digital platform.
Material And Methods: The study included 25 patients aged 16 to 60 years (women - 18, men - 7). A parallel determination of the level of oral hygiene using classical and digital approaches was carried out, the results obtained were compared and analyzed.

We found that the fluorescence of 6-(4-cyanophenyl)cinnoline-4-amine is strongly affected by the nature of the solvent. The fluorogenic effect for the amine was detected in polar solvents with the strongest fluorescence increase in water.

The transient presence of senescent cells, followed by their clearance by the immune system, is important in tissue repair and homeostasis. The persistence of senescent cells that evade clearance contributes to the age-related deterioration of the skin.

The development of screening methods for various types of cancer is of utmost importance as the early diagnostics of these diseases significantly increases the chances for patient's successful medical treatment and recovery. In this study we have developed the procedure for chromatographic profiling of urine samples based on solid-phase microextraction and GC-MS. 50 urine samples (20 from the patients with biopsy conformed prostate cancer and 30 from control group) were studied in the optimized experimental conditions.

A way of synthesis of covalent coatings was proposed. For the first time different type of on-line sample preconcentration techniques (field-amplified sample stacking (FASS), head-column field amplified sample stacking (HC FASS), electrostacking, sweeping) were performed for catecholamines determination in N-alkylsubstituted imidazolium coated capillary.

The use of a high-conductivity sample matrix in sweeping was found to significantly increase the separation efficiency of analyte up to 2 × 10 theoretical plates per meter and remarkably reduce limits of detection for catecholamines up to 50 ng/mL. This approach was shown to be suitable for the determination of trace amounts of catecholamines in biological fluids.

From this point, we investigated the potential use of maltose-modified hyperbranched poly(ethylene imine) (PEI-Mal) as a dynamically or covalently bound coating and a pseudostationary phase in capillary electrophoresis. The EOF mobilities were measured at different pH values (2.

Analysis of the clinical and laboratory findings (a set of hematological, biochemical, and immunological parameters) in 48 patients established a relationship between the titer of antimitochondrial autoantibodies and the progression of hepatic cirrhosis of autoimmune etiology.

The purpose of the investigation was to study whether there was a correlation between the laboratory parameters and the pathomorphological pattern of a liver biopsy specimen in chronic viral hepatitis C. Analysis of the results of studies (general clinical blood analysis, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, serum immunoglobulins, and a study of liver biopsy specimens) led to the conclusion that there was a correlation between the level of the enzymes and the histological liver tissue sclerosis index. There was no correlation with the histological activity index.

Sensitivity enhancement factor and reproducibility were two factors that were used to assess the suitability of each method. To minimize protein adsorption on the capillary wall, capillaries were covalently modified with anionic polymer, poly(sulfopropylmethacrylate) coating.

The obligatory criterion was no history evidence of hepatitis and abnormal hepatic functional tests. Higher levels of serum aminotransferases were a major manifestation of Lyme hepatitis in the Sverdlovsk region.
