Currently, an urgent need in the field of wearable electronics is the development of flexible sensors that can be attached to the human body to monitor various physiological indicators and movements. In this work, we propose a method for forming an electrically conductive network of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in a matrix of silicone elastomer to make stretchable sensors sensitive to mechanical strain. The electrical conductivity and sensitivity characteristics of the sensor were improved by using laser exposure, through the effect of forming strong carbon nanotube (CNT) networks.

Article Synopsis
  • Development of stable, antithrombogenic coatings for cardiovascular implants is vital, particularly for devices like ventricular assist devices that experience high shear stress from blood flow.
  • A new method involves creating layer-by-layer nanocomposite coatings using multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) in a collagen matrix, with experiments showing enhanced resistance to shear stress with glutaraldehyde as a cross-linking agent.
  • Testing via a reversible microfluidic device indicates that these collagen/c-MWCNT coatings exhibit lower protein adhesion compared to traditional titanium surfaces, suggesting their potential as durable and safe materials for cardiovascular applications.

The effect of single substitutions of protium for deuterium in hydrogen bonds between pairs of nitrogenous bases on the open states occurrence probability at high critical breaking energies of these bonds has been studied. The study was carried out using numerical methods based on the angular mathematical model of DNA. The IFNA17 gene was divided into three approximately equal parts.

The formation and dynamics of the open states in a double-stranded DNA molecule are largely determined by its mechanical parameters. The main one is the torque. However, the experimental study of DNA dynamics and the occurrence of open states is limited by the spatial resolution of available biophysical instruments.

Fluctuations in viscosity within the cell nucleus have wide limits. When a DNA molecule passes from the region of high viscosity values to the region of low values, open states, denaturation bubbles, and unweaving of DNA strands can occur. Stabilization of the molecule is provided by energy dissipation-dissipation due to interaction with the environment.

The sensitivity of DNA to electromagnetic radiation in different ranges differs depending on various factors. The aim of this study was to examine the molecular dynamics of DNA under the influence of external periodic influences with different frequencies. In the present paper, within the framework of a mechanical model without simplifications, we investigated the effect of various frequencies of external periodic action in the range from 10 s to 10 s on the dynamics of a DNA molecule.

In the present study, the effect of H/H isotopic exchange in hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous base pairs on occurrence and open states zones dynamics is investigated. These processes are studied using mathematical modeling, taking into account the number of open states between base pairs. The calculations of the probability of occurrence of open states in different parts of the gene were done depending on the localization of the deuterium atom.

The research was executed on 320 male patients aged 35-92 years with various polyorgan pathology in a compensation stage. The treatment by gases was used: hyperbaric oxygenation, dry carbonic acid baths, ozon therapy, hypo oxygen therapy and their combinations. On indicators of biological age various age-dependent geroprophylactics effect of gas therapy was established.

An automated flow pH-method for the determination of titratable acidity (TA) in edible oil without titration is proposed, based on pH measurements on an oil sample emulsion in a suitable reagent. The developed flow pH system involves two constant rate flows: the flow of oils samples and the flow of reagent: triethanolamine+KNO+HO+i-PrOH, in which oils is insoluble. The flows are mixed in the mixer forming the emulsion in which the free fatty acids (FFA) extraction is started.
