The Role of Metal Nanoparticles in the Pathogenesis of Stone Formation.

The process of stone formation in the human body remains incompletely understood, which requires clinical and laboratory studies and the formulation of a new endogenous, nanotechnological concept of the mechanism of origin and formation of crystallization centers. Previously, the mechanism of sialolithiasis was considered a congenital disease associated with the pathology of the ducts in the structure of the glands themselves. To date, such morphological changes of congenital nature can be considered from the position of the intrauterine formation of endogenous bacterial infections complicated by the migration of antigenic structures initiating the formation of crystallization centers.

Biofilm matrix proteome of clinical strain of P. aeruginosa isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage of patient in intensive care unit.

Extracellular matrix plays a pivotal role in biofilm biology and proposed as a potential target for therapeutics development. As matrix is responsible for some extracellular functions and influence bacterial cytotoxicity against eukaryotic cells, it must have unique protein composition. P.

[Complications and effectiveness of treatment of patients with locally advanced prostate cancer after combined radiotherapy and radical prostatectomy with postoperative radiotherapy].

Treatment for prostate cancer remains a significant social problem due to the continuing trend of growth of morbidity and mortality in Russia from this disease. In recent years a real alternative to surgical treatment is radiotherapy. In treatment of locally advanced stages of prostate cancer radiotherapy plays a dominant role.

[The role of magnetolaserotherapy in the correction of the adaptive potential of the brain in the children suffering absence seizures].

We have conducted a course of magnetic laser therapy targeted on the vegetative structures at the neck of the children suffering absence seizures in an attempt to optimize the functioning of the non-specific brain structures. The study has demonstrated that such treatment promotes normalization of the components of the orientation response to sound almost to the level observed in the healthy children. The alpha-index returned to the normal value as well.

[Results of the spectral analysis of electroencephalograms of patients with focal epileptic seizures in the interictal period].

A comparative spectral analysis of electroencephalograms in patients with focal and generalized epileptic seizures in the interictal period revealed some specific characteristics of these paroxysms. Slowing of dominating alpha-rhythm was seen in case of the localization of epileptiform activity in frontal-central-temporal and occipital-parietal areas with the further spreading of epileptiform activity to the temporal area. Asymmetry of dominating alpha-rhythm in the right hemisphere was found in patients with focal paroxysms, asymmetry of theta-rhythm in all patients, of beta-2 rhythm in patients over 45 years old and of delta-2 rhythm in female patients.
