Psychosomatics in Eating Disorders.

Background: To study the psychosomatic options and dynamics in patients with eating disorders. To conduct a comparative study of psychosomatic characteristics of surveyed patients with eating disorders, taking into account the duration and severity of protein-energy deficiency and levels of catecholamines excretion; to reveal features of mental working capacity, basic mental processes and EEG data at different stages of eating disorders; to develop scientifically based effective methods and means for correcting pathological changes that have arisen as a result of prolonged protein-energy deficiency in eating disorders.

Methods: Catamnestic, statistical, clinico-psychopathological with somatic, psychological and laboratory examination, anthropometry, high-performance liquid chromatography, electroencephalography.

The Impact of the COVID Crisis on the Innovative Potential of China's Internet Platforms.

Although the COVID-19 crisis has hit the Chinese economy hard, China's Internet companies have benefited from the quarantine. However, the long-term consequences of the 2020 crisis for the development of the innovative potential of Chinese Internet corporations, primarily the largest platforms such as Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent, and JD.com as integrators of the Chinese Internet economy, are still unclear.

Association of GA genotype of SNP rs4680 in COMT gene with psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a multigene and multifactorial skin disease with heterogeneous genetic inheritance. Mental disorders participate in the development of psoriasis as predisposing factors; a correlation of dermatological diseases with pathological anxiety and stress was shown. Meanwhile, there are no studies describing molecular mechanisms of the linkages between psycho-emotional disorders and skin diseases.

Psychodermatology: a molecular link between psoriasis and anxiety disorder.

This article describes premises for the development of psychodermatology. An analysis of research literature and data is presented based on the example of psoriasis and anxiety disorder. Protein molecules with altered concentrations in patients with psoriasis and anxiety disorder compared to controls are identified (chemokine [C-C motif] ligand 2, corticotropin-release hormone, growth hormone 1, leptin, and tumor necrosis factor with increased concentration and brain-derived neurotrophic factor with decreased concentration).

[Cerebral cryptococcosys with depressive disorder].

A case of cerebral cryptococcosis is described. Cryptococcus neoformans is the most pathogenic in humans. It often affects lungs, skin, muscles and tissues of the Central Nervous System (CNS).

[Catecholamine excretion in patients with eating disorders].

Objective: To compare clinical features of eating disorders and parameters of monoamine metabolism.

Material And Methods: Authors examined 21 patients with eating disorders during 2008-2011 using clinical/psychopathological method. To evaluate the status of monoamine neuromediator system, urine levels of dopamine, noradrenalin and adrenaline excretion were measured using high-yield liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection.

[Metallothionein content in tissue and neoplasms of mice under cadmium chloride administration and gamma irradiation. Increased radioresistance in mice with elevated level of metallothionein].

It was confirmed that the survival of gamma-exposed mice became higher after preliminarily subcutaneous injections of cadmium chloride. It is supposed that radioresistance of mice is connected with the induction of metallothionein proteins by cadmium chloride.

[The radiation-increased synthesis of phytochelatins in roots of gamma-irradiated barley seedlings].

It was shown that gamma-irradiation and cadmium nitrate increased synthesis of phytochelatins in roots of barley seedlings. The stimulation of synthesis of phytochelatins in gamma-irradiated plants was shown for the first time. The results obtained indicate more important role of phytochelatins in intercellular metabolism than heavy-metal-binding.

[Borderline mental disorders in patients with prostate cancer].

Sixty five patients, aged 48-87, with prostate cancer at different stages were studied. Borderline mental disorders were found in all the patients. In the majority of them, affective disorders in the form of anxiety-depressive (52.
