The Fungus Alters Amounts of Sterols, Fatty Acids, and Hydroxycinnamic Acids in Potato .

The entomopathogenic endophytic fungus can colonize plants resulting in growth promotion and protection against phytopathogenic microorganisms. However, physiological changes in potato plants () during this interaction are poorly understood. In the present work, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography were used to analyze sterol, fatty acid, and phenolic acid concentrations in potato plants inoculated with conidia in soil.

Health-related quality of life and menstrual problems in adolescents.

Aim: To evaluate whether the health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) scores would be different for adolescents with menstrual problems as compared to those with normal menstruation after taking into account clinical, socio-demographic and life-style factors.

Methods: The Paediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 scale was used to assess HRQoL in 126 schoolgirls of 16 ± 0.

[Clinical guidelines «Obesity in children»].

Childhood obesity is an urgent problem of pediatric endocrinology due to the widespread occurrence, the development of metabolic complications and their steady tracking into adulthood. The developed clinical guidelines are the main working tool of the practitioner. They briefly and structurally present the main information about the epidemiology and modern classification of obesity, methods of its diagnosis and treatment based on the principles of evidence-based medicine.

[Remote monitoring and treatment of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes].

Rationale: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) is an effective method for optimizing glycemic control in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). However, the use of CSII does not always result in adequate glycemic control. Telehealth can be applied as one of the methods to improve the effectiveness of treatment.

[The efficacy of outpatient monitoring of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes with regular use of professional continuous glucose monitoring].

Background: According to research, only 38% of patients reach glycated hemoglobin targets. It is possible to improve the effectiveness of medical care for children with T1D using modern technologies, including continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

Aims: To evaluate the effectiveness of outpatient monitoring of children and adolescents with T1D with regular use of professional continuous glucose monitoring.

[The modern methods for the rehabilitation of adolescents suffering obesity].

Background: To-day, obesity spreads dramatically fast all over the world not only among the adults but also among the children. According to the data available from the scientific literature, the number of adolescents suffering from obesity in Russia increased more than 1.5 times during the period from 2006 till 2015.

[The reference values of 17-hydroxyprogesterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in the gestational period].

Hyperandrogenism has a considerable negative impact on the course of pregnancy. The measurement of the levels of 17-hydroxy-progesterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate as markers of adrenal hyperandrogenism, without taking into account the gestational metabolism of the hormones, promotes the hyperdiagnosis of nonclassical forms of congenital adrenal cortex dysfunction and involves inadequate treatment policy. The isolated elevation of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate is not attended by an increase in the incidence of androgen-dependent complications of pregnancy.

[Comparative analysis of the efficacy of iodine prophylaxis in pregnant women living in endemic goiter areas].

Aim: To assess efficacy of different methods of iodine prophylaxis in pregnant women living in conditions of goiter endemia.

Material And Methods: Standard clinical, laboratory and device tests for iodine deficiency according to WHO criteria were made in 156 pregnant women living in the territory affected by goiter endemia. Of them, 121 examinees had no thyroid pathology, 35 ones had diffuse euthyroid goiter.

[Comparative evaluation of early and long-term plant cell reactions under the combination of short-time and chronic impact of 232Th and Cd ].

The short-time (30 hours) and chronic (30 days) 232Th and Cd combined effects on Tradescantia and Allium cepa plants were investigated. The 232Th ion concentration was equal to 0.18 mg/l and Cd ion--to 60 mg/l.

[Cardiac syndrome in females with systemic undifferentiated dysplasia of the connective tissue].

The trial enrolled 119 women with systemic undifferentiated dysplasia of the connective tissue (DCT) aged 14-39 years; 86.6% of them had asthenic constitution. Ultrasound most frequently found prolapse of mitral cusps and accessory chord as in the left ventricle.

[Cytogenetic effects of separate and combined action of 232Th and Cd nitrates on Allum cepa root meristem cells].

Effects of separate and combined action of 232Th and Cd on Allium cepa root tip cells were investigated. It has been shown that cytogenetic effects of 232Th results mainly from its ability to induce genome damages. Cadmium in the examined concentration does not induce chromosomal vagrants, and this effect is not intensified by the combined action of 232Th and Cd (with 232Th).

[Trial of cholinesterase reactivators as proserine antagonists].

HI-6 and TMB-4 were the most effective and safe of 7 cholinesterase reactivators tested as agents for the prophylaxis of proserine poisoning of male mice. The reactivator HI-6 strongly potentiated the prophylactic efficacy of a mixture of atropine and arpenal administered in the doses sufficient for the blockade of both the m- and h-cholinoreactive systems of mice. As demonstrated by experiments in vitro, HI-6 and TMB-4 did not reacivate proserine-inhibited cholinesterase.
