Microwave Plasma-Enhanced Parylene-Metal Multilayer Design from Metal Salts.

In this paper, a new approach for the synthesis of Parylene-metal multilayers was examined. The metal layers were derived from a metal salt solution in methanol and a post-drying plasma reduction treatment. This process was designed as a one-pot synthesis, which needs a very low amount of resources and energy compared with those using electron beam sputtering processes.

[Syndrome CLIPPERS (literature review and a case report)].

This paper presents a brief literature review on chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) syndrome. Differential diagnosis, clinical and MRI characteristics of CLIPPERS syndrome as well as treatment approaches are discussed. The authors present a case of a 56-year old patient with CLIPPERS syndrome in West Siberia.

MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY OF TREPONEMA PALLIDUM IN BORDER REGION OF RUSSIAN FEDERATION (TUVA REPUBLIC).

The 111 strains of T. pallidum subsp. pallidum collected in Tuva Republic in 2013-2016 were typed by the arp, tpr (E, G, J) and tp0548 genes.

[The role of some individual amino acid substitutions in penicillin-binding protein (PBP2) of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in the emergence of resistance to ceftriaxone].

The goal of the study was to identify amino acid replacements in the structure of penicillin-binding protein PBP2, which may influence on the development of resistance N. gonorhoeae to the III cephalosporins generation. The gene penA of 50 strains of N.

[Effect of aluminium hydroxide on innate immunity and immunogenicity of bacterial and synthetic antigens of Streptococcus pneumoniae].

Aim: Study the effect of aluminium hydroxide on molecular-cell mechanisms of innate immunity activation and its adjuvant effect on immunogenicity of natural bacterial and synthetic pneumococci antigens.

Materials And Methods: Surface markers of dendritic cells (DC), mononuclear leukocytes (ML) and cytokine levels were determined by flow cytometry; IgG titers--by EIA. Protective activity was evaluated in experiments with active protection of mice from infection with virulent pneumococci strains.
