Amelioration and remediation technology was developed for phosphogypsum utilization in Haplic Chernozem of South-European facies (Rostov Region). The technology comprises phosphogypsum dispersed application into the soil layer of 20-45 cm during intra-soil milling. In the model experiment, the phosphogypsum doses 0 (control), 10, 20, and 40 t ha were studied.

Objective: To evaluate the association of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] level with short- and long-term outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and to assess the effect of a 12 month course of weekly lipoprotein apheresis on vein graft patency and coronary atherosclerosis course in post-CABG patients with hyperlipidemia.
Methods: This study was performed in patients after successful CABG and consisted of three parts: a) a retrospective part with computed tomography assessment of vein graft patency in patients with first-year recurrence of chest pain after CABG (n = 102); b) a prospective trial with evaluation of cardiovascular outcomes during follow up time up to 15 years in relation to baseline Lp(a) levels (n = 356); c) an 12-months interventional controlled study in 50 patients with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels >2.6 mmol/L prior to the operation despite statin treatment that allocated into 2 groups: active (n = 25, weekly apheresis by cascade plasma filtration (CPF) plus atorvastatin), and control (n = 25, atorvastatin alone).
Molecular genetic techniques (NGS sequencing and quantitative PCR) were used to determine the composition of the cecal bacterial community of broiler chickens fed with different mixed fodder. The Cecal microbiome exhibited taxonomic diversity, with both typical inhabitants of avian intestine belonging to the families Clostridiaceae, Eubacteriaceae, and Lactobacillaceae and to the phylum Bacteroidetes, and new un- identified taxa, as well as bacteria of the families Lachnospiraceae and Ruminococcaceae, which were previ- ously considered restricted to the rumen microflora. Contrary to traditional concepts, enterococci and bi- fidobacteria were among the minor components of the community, lactate-fermenting species were absent, and typical avian pathogens of the genus Staphylococcus were detected but seldom.
