Stimulus-sensitive liposomal delivery system based on new 3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives.

3,7-Diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane scaffold can serve as a basis for the design of molecular switches stimulating the fast release of water soluble compounds under the influence of external factors from the liposomal containers having those switches incorporated into the lipid bilayer.

PPARα-targeted mitochondrial bioenergetics mediate repair of intestinal barriers at the host-microbe intersection during SIV infection.

Chronic gut inflammatory diseases are associated with disruption of intestinal epithelial barriers and impaired mucosal immunity. HIV-1 (HIV) causes depletion of mucosal CD4 T cells early in infection and disruption of gut epithelium, resulting in chronic inflammation and immunodeficiency. Although antiretroviral therapy (ART) is effective in suppressing viral replication, it is incapable of restoring the "leaky gut," which poses an impediment for HIV cure efforts.

Thiourea Modified Doxorubicin: A Perspective pH-Sensitive Prodrug.

A novel approach to the synthesis of pH-sensitive prodrugs has been proposed: thiourea drug modification. Resulting prodrugs can release the cytotoxic agent and the biologically active 2-thiohydantoin in the acidic environment of tumor cells. The concept of acid-catalyzed cyclization of thioureas to 2-thiohydantoins has been proven using a FRET model.

[Premature aging in sleep apnea comorbid obesity persons.].

The objective was to assess the role of pathological changes in cerebral hemodynamics in obstructive sleep apnea comorbid obesity patients in premature aging. Concentric-eccentric remodeling of the common carotid artery wall, hyperconstrictor variant of cerebral angiopathy, depletion of compensatory mechanisms of cerebral blood flow autoregulation, restriction of hemodynamic reserve with narrowing of the «corridor» of admissible changes in cerebral perfusion in patients with respiratory disturbances comorbid obesity. The biological age of sleep apnea patients exceeded the passport age by 41,3%, and comorbid patients by 49,6%.

Clues to the Pathophysiology of Sudden Cardiac Death in Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

Background: Risk assessment of sudden cardiac death (SCD) is multifactorial and complex, especially among individuals without established cardiovascular disease. There are insufficiently investigated conditions that can affect arrhythmogenesis. One such condition is obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome, which is not on the list of risk factors of the Russian National Society of Arrhythmology.
