Objective: To create a new taxonomy of schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) based on the comparability of the design of SSD and borderline states.
Material And Methods: The total sample consists of 205 patients with an established diagnosis of SSD (F21; F25; F22 according to ICD-10) collected from studies of the department of borderline mental pathology and psychosomatic disorders of the Federal State Budgetary Institution Mental Health Research Center and the Department of Psychiatry and Psychosomatics of Moscow State Medical University in the period 2014 to 2024. Clinical, psychometric, statistical methods were used.
Tomato ( L.) plants, wild type , and carotenoid mutant that accumulates prolycopene instead of all--lycopene were exposed to a combined treatment by low light and low temperature for 5 days. The ability of plants to recover from the stress after development for 3 days at control conditions was followed as well.

Nitric oxide (NO) serves as an essential signal molecule in regulating photosynthetic performance under physiological and stress conditions. The present study reveals the protective effects of different concentrations (0-300 µM) of sodium nitroprusside (SNP, a donor of NO) on the functions of the main complexes within the photosynthetic apparatus of maize ( L.

Photosystem II (PSII) is more sensitive to environmental stresses, including salinity, than photosystem I (PSI). This study investigated the effects of different salinity levels (0 to 200 mM NaCl) on the PSII complex in isolated thylakoid membranes from hydroponically grown pea ( L.

Objective: To determinate the premorbid personality dimensions in patients with hysterocatatonia; to study the psychopathological characteristics, making it possible to distinguish the manifestations of hysterical catatonia among other hysterical and catatonic phenomena; to establish the prognostic value of the hysterocatatonia, occurring in the structure of schizophrenia and schizophrenic spectrum disorders (SSD).
Material And Methods: 25 patients with a verified diagnosis of schizophrenia and SSD (according to ICD-10) with a predominance of «mild» catatonic phenomena in the clinical picture of the disease (manifestations of hyperkinesia, pseudoepileptic paroxysms, isolated parakinesis, psychomotor agitation, accompanied by local muscle spasm and/or an increase in general muscle tone, etc.).
Alterations in photosynthetic performance of lutein-deficient mutant and wild type (wt) of were followed after treatment with low temperature and high light for 6 d. The obtained results indicated lower electrolyte leakage, lower excitation pressure, and higher actual photochemical efficiency of PSII in plants exposed to combined stress compared to wt plants. This implies that is less susceptible to the applied stress conditions.

The difference in the morphology and surface relief of filler particles was ensured by the implementation of plasma chemical modification. As a result of this modification, the filler consisted of core-shell particles characterized by a SiC core and a carbon shell (SiC@C), as well as a carbon shell decorated with silicon nanoparticles (SiC@C/SiNP) or nanos (SiC@C/SiNW).

The experimental results revealed that the foliar spray with ZnO-Si NPs and 200 mg/L ZnO NPs did not influence the stomata structure, the membrane integrity, and the functions of both photosystems under physiological conditions, while 400 mg/L ZnO-Si NPs had beneficial effects on the effective quantum yield of photosystem II (PSII) and the photochemistry of photosystem I (PSI).

Benthic fauna from the deep eastern Australian margin was sampled systematically for the first time during 2017 RV 'Investigator' voyage 'Sampling the Abyss'. Box core, Brenke sledge, and beam trawl samples were collected at one-degree intervals from Tasmania, 42°S, to southern Queensland, 24°S, from 900 to 4800 m depth.

This association is of a special interest because of suggested common mechanisms underlying etiopathogenesis of these two diseases attributed to immune disorders. Thyroid surgery and subsequent morphological examination in sarcoidosis patients require a purposeful search for epithelioid-cell granules in the thyroid tissue for diagnosis of thyroid sarcoidosis.
