24-epibrassinolide-induced growth promotion of wheat seedlings is associated with changes in the proteome and tyrosine phosphoproteome.

Brassinosteroids (BRs) represent a unique class of steroidal plant hormones that display pronounced growth-promoting activity at very low concentrations. Although many efforts have been made to characterize the molecular basis of BR action, little is known about the mechanisms behind the growth-promoting effect of BRs at protein level. Proteomic analysis of response to the steroid plant hormone 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) in wheat seedling shoots (Triticum aestivum L.

University-utility partnerships: Best practices for water innovation and collaboration.

University-utility partnerships (UUPs) are mutually beneficial collaborations that promote and accelerate innovation in the water sector. The Leaders Innovation Forum for Technology (LIFT) program worked with representatives from universities and utilities to define successful methods and strategies for establishing strong university-utility collaborative partnerships. Overall, partners in a successful university-utility collaboration need to be honest and realistic to match university capabilities and utility needs.

[Use of biomaterial alloplant and homeostatic material surgicel in reconstructive laryngeal and tracheal surgery].

Posttraumatic stenosis of the larynx, cervical and upper choracic parts of the trachea was treated surgically using biomaterial (cartilage) alloplant and hemostatic material sergisel with an antibacterial effect. Cartilage implantation into the lateral tracheal walls was made in 10 patients, creation of the lateral and anterial walls of the larynx and trachea was made in 4 patients. Short before the cartilage placing in the tissues it was packed with material sergisel.

[Therapeutic algorithm in stenosis of the larynx and cervical trachea of various etiology].

An algorithm of the treatment of laryngo- tracheal stenosis (LTS) is proposed to raise efficacy of surgical treatment of LTS and to reduce the number of postoperative complications. The algorithm comprises adequate preoperative preparation of the patients including pharmacological prophylaxis of inflammation in the operative zone; effective use of laryngotracheoplasty; prophylaxis of postoperative scarring including reconstruction of created laryngotracheal passage and administration of medicines influencing general and local immunity, tissue metabolism, repair in the region of postoperative inflammation. The efficacy of the algorithm was followed up un 54 (33.
