Influence of pre-treatment methods on quality indicators and mineral composition of plant milk from different sources of raw materials.

Background: Pre-treatment of plant materials is essential in producing plant-based products and can affect their various organoleptic and physicochemical characteristics. This work aimed to study the effect of pre-treatment of vegetable raw materials, namely ultrasonic processing and freezing of raw materials under various low-temperature conditions, to obtain multiple types of vegetable milk and determine their characteristics.

Results: It is shown that by applying a certain kind of pre-treatment of vegetable raw materials it is possible to adjust organoleptic parameters and the content of solids, protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber and mineral composition of various types of vegetable milk from soy, rice, oats, wheat, peas, buckwheat, pumpkin seeds and lentils.

Separation of Sc from Ti in the Context of A Generator System for Radiopharmaceutical Purposes with the Example of [Sc]Sc-PSMA-617 and [Sc]Sc-PSMA-I&T Synthesis.

Today, Sc is an attractive radionuclide for molecular imaging with PET. In this work, we evaluated a Ti/Sc radionuclide generator based on TEVA resin as a source of Sc. The generator prototype (5 MBq) exhibits high Ti retention and stable yield of Sc (91 ± 6 %) in 1 mL of eluate (20 bed volumes, eluent-0.

[Comparative analysis of the radionuclide composition in fallout after the Chernobyl and the Fukushima accidents].

The nuclear accident occurred at Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) (March 11, 2011) similarly to the accident at the Chernobyl NPP (April 26, 1986) is related to the level 7 of the INES. It is of interest to make an analysis of the radionuclide composition of the fallout following the both accidents. The results of the spectrometric measurements were used in that comparative analysis.

[Ultrastructure of the ovaries of patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome].

Using electron microscopic techniques, we investigated bioptats of the ovaries of patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome after treatment with clostilbegit, which exerted only insignificant effects. We observed an increases in the intensify of proliferation of the connective tissue elements in the ovaries with the involvement of immunopathological processes against the background of tissue and circulatory hypoxia.

[Results of radiation monitoring in Moscow].

The results of assessing the radiation situation due to global fallouts, obtained from measurement of 137Cs and 90Sr in over 400 samples from natural environmental objects in Moscow in 1979-1999 have indicated that the levels of the substances in the atmospheric fallouts are in agreement with the mean Russian levels and the mean annual activity of these radionuclides in the ambient air are 6 orders lower than the allowable values laid down in NRB-99. In Moscow, the mean effective dose of external exposure to natural and cosmogenic radionuclides is no greater than 1 m3v a year. The individual effective doses of internal and external exposures of the population to global fallouts averages 13 mu k3v a year.

[Mathematical modelling and the prognosis of treatment efficacy in papillomavirus infection of the cervix uteri].

In this paper, consideration is given to the problem of mathematical modelling, diagnosis and effects of treatment options on the condition of a patient exposed to papillomavirus infection. The problem is tackled of identifying the most prominent signs of degree of severity of the disease course and of therapy efficiency on the basis of parameters characterizing the immunologic vigor with making use of the covariation matrix eigenvalues algorithm, namely the modelling manifolds algorithm. Such an approach allows the central problem of classification of indices for the immunologic vigor to be settled.

[Gas chromatographic analysis of lipids in exhaled air condensate in children with bronchopulmonary diseases].

The lipid fatty-acid spectrum in exhaled air condensate (EAC) was analyzed in children with bronchopulmonary diseases by gas chromatography. The detected shifts in the fatty-acid composition of EAC lipids may be used for validating a therapeutic approach and monitoring the treatment efficacy.

[Tropaphen in experimental drug therapy of cor pulmonale].

The influence of alpha-adrenoblocking drug tropaphen on cardio- and haemodynamics under experimental lung-heart failure was studied in dogs. The findings suggest effectiveness of tropaphen administration in such pathology shown by a decrease of lung hypertension and heart overload, significant increase of the contractile activity and relaxation properties of myocardium of both ventricles and in cardiac pump function optimization.

[The blood microcirculatory bed of the tunica muscularis of the human esophagus in postnatal ontogeny].

The analysis of morphological and morphometrical data of the muscular membrane and its blood microcirculatory bed has demonstrated that their development during the postnatal ontogenesis advances unevenly. An intensified growth and development of the muscular membrane morphological structures, including its blood microcirculatory bed occurs from 3 up to 30 years of life. Their maximal growth is noted from 12 up to 30 years of age.

[Characteristics of the clinical and immunologic safety of inactivated influenza vaccines in children undergoing multiple immunizations].

In a strictly controlled epidemiological trial on 12,643 school children aged 11-14 years the reactogenic properties and safety of killed influenza chromatographic vaccine under the conditions of multiple immunization were studied. A single immunization dose of the vaccine (0.2 ml) contained the hemagglutinins of influenza viruses A/Philippines/82 (H3N3) and A/Kiev/59/79 (H1N1), 3.

[Alloplasty of nerves using cryopreserved grafts subjected to total epineurectomy (experimental-clinical study)].

It was demonstrated in experiments on 24 dogs that microsurgical epineurectomy of a cryopreserved peripheral nerve improves the results of neuroplasty due to acceleration and increase of graft revascularization. From application of the developed method in 12 patients it was concluded that microsurgical alloneuroplasty with a cryopreserved graft may be the method of choice in cases in which autoplasty cannot be performed.

[Morphometric study of skeletal muscle of Gallus domesticus denervated during the early stages of ontogeny].

The musculus soleus has been studied in 19-day-old embryos, 4-day-old and 10-day old independently hatched chickens, that are subjected to a complete dissection of their sciatic nerve on the 18th day of development. Dynamics of changes in the muscle fiber diameter (MFD) are statistically evaluated in control animals and also in the operated muscle (OM) and in the contralateral (CL) extremity of the experimental animals. In the OM, the MFD is changing step-by-step, decreasing noticeably by the end of the observations.

[Method for the quantitative study of the growth of fibroblastic cells in tissue culture].

The method is elaborated for a quantitative evaluation of hypodermic fibroblast element growth in tissue culture of albino rats. The method is based on determination of the growth activity and intensity for each of the explant growth zones (compact, necwork-like zones and zone of migrating elements). The method permits a rapid and an exact evaluation of the influence of different substances added to the culture medium.

[Quantitative study of aortic wall permeability].

Fluorescent microscopy with trypan blue was used to assay aortal wall permeability. The dye permeation to the vascular wall was assayed by photometry with graphic data recording. The technique described enabled exploring aortal wall permeability in rabbits with experimental hypertension associated with induced atherosclerosis.
