Megakaryocytes of the Spleen in Experimental Amyloidosis and Effect of Red Wine.

Amyloidosis was modeled in young mice by administration of aqueous solution of soy cream substitute and then, amyloidogenesis was corrected by oral administration of dry red wine. In mice with amyloidosis, the area of megakaryocytes decreased by 1.69 times, the relative content of oxyphilic forms of megakaryocytes increased by 4.

Thermodynamic mathematical model of the Kastanozem complex and new principles of sustainable semiarid protective silviculture management.

The Kastanozem complex in the dry steppe of southern Russia underlies an artificially-constructed forest strips. Deep ploughing to a depth of 45 cm was used to process the soil prior to planting. Between 20 and 40 cm depth, soil density was high, 1.

[Giant Aneurysms in Coronary Arteries of a Young Woman].

Coronary arteries aneurysms with their thrombotic occlusion are known to be detected in young patients who have suffered Kawasaki disease in childhood. The other vascular beds are usually not involved. In the literature one can find not enough information regarding diagnostics of this pathology, as well as no specific treatment algorithm.

[Gigantic aneurysm of the coronary artery].

The paper describes a clinical case of gigantic aneurysm of one of the coronary arteries. It considers the morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics of the wall of the blood vessel with the detected signs of coronaritis. The authors have determined that Kawasaki disease could be retrospectively diagnosed in early childhood.

[Antibiotic-free poultry production based on innovative nutritional programs with the involvement of probiotics].

EU banned antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) for farm animals and poultry since 2006 in relation to the problem of drug resistance. This requires alternative products for equally efficient prevention and treatment of certain alimentary poultry diseases. One of the most actual trends is the development of innovative nutritional strategies for poultry providing an effective symbiosis between the host and its intestinal microbiota.

Novel and simple ELISA-based method for antibody affinity determination.

New coordinates for antibody affinity determination by ELISA are suggested. The suggested approach is very simple but at the same time it is more convenient and is deprived of the drawbacks inhered in the earlier suggested methods. The examples of antibody affinity determination by the suggested methods for both simulative and experimental binding curves are considered.

The NMR microimaging studies of the interplay of mass transport and chemical reaction in porous media.

PFG NMR is employed to perform a comparative study of the filtration of water and propane through model porous media. It is shown that the dispersion coefficients for water are dominated by the holdup effects even in a bed of nonporous glass beads. It is demonstrated that correlation experiments such as VEXSY are applicable to gas flow despite the large diffusivity values of gases.
