[Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) in diagnostics, risk and severity evaluation of magistral vessels lesion in patients with cardio-vascular diseases and type 2 diabetes].

Assesment of arterial stiffness the substantional prognostic factor for evaluating complications of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in patients with atherosclerosis, hypertension and type 2 diabetes, may be performed using different parameters, including cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). The main purpose of this review is to analyze data from studies where CAVI is used to test the arterial wall stiffness in magistral vessels. CAVI measurement is non-invasive and performed by portable devices which makes it comfortable for ambulatory use in patients who come for a check-up and also in those who already are hospitalized.

The control group consisted of 34 healthy volunteers with no signs of inflammation of the eye tissue.

[Early diagnosis of Takayasu's disease (clinical case report)].

Nonspecific aortoarteritis (Takayasu s disease, obliterating aortoarteritis, disease of the missing pulse) is a systemic inflammatory disease of aorta and its branches, which leads to stenosis and ischemia of surrounding tissues. This disease is more common in young women and characterized by slowly progressive course with significant impairing quality of life. Etiology of the Takayasu's disease is unknown.

[The analysis of commercial fish population size oscillations in Lake Peipus].

With the use of recurrence plots, we show that the irregular oscillations in time, which commercial fish populations in Lake Peipus undergo, are deterministic.

[Using zidena in the treatment of erectile dysfunction associated with stress-induced arterial hypertension in workers of locomotive teams].

Thirty train drivers with erectile dysfunction (ED) and arterial hypertension were examined : physical examination, blood count, urinalysis, penile laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF). ED severity was assessed by Loran-Segal questionnaire of male copulative function (MCF) and international index of erectile function (IIEF). Zidena was used in a dose 100 mg 30 min before coitus twice a weak.

[Prophylaxis of ischemic heart lesions during chronic heart failure with complex therapy using Q10 coenzyme].

Dysfunction of energy processes in the myocardium, resulting the background of ischemic syndrome, and inadequate intake of energy substrates process and/or breach of energetic cofactors of oxidation are an important pathogenetic aspects of the progression of myocardial dysfunction and congestive heart failure. Level of Q10 Coenzyme plays a key role in the functioning of the respiratory mitochondrial chains, exerting a significant influence on the synthesis of ATP. The article provides data on the use of Q10 coenzyme in the treatment of 76 patients with circulatory failure.

[Treatment of overactive urinary bladder with imperative urinary incontinence in women].

The clinic at the nephrology and urology chair of the State Altai Medical University admitted 40 females aged 20-74 years with overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms and imperative urinary incontinence (IUI) in 2008-2009. The patients were divided into two groups: 20 patients of group 1 received an anticholinesterase drug solifenacin (vesikar) in a dose 5 mg/day; 20 patients of group 2 received combined treatment. The course of treatment lasted for 1-3 months.

[Evaluation of the effects of antituberculous drugs on the cytochemical status of lymphocytes in vitro].

The effects of basic drugs of chemotherapy for tuberclosis, such as isoniazid and rifampicin, on the activity of the most important mitochondrial enzymes of lymphocytic energy metabolism were studied in patients with infiltrative tuberculosis and healthy donors. The authors detected the significantly inhibited activity of succinate dehydrogenase and the redistribution of lymphocytic populations with the increased proportion of cells with the low and high activities of the enzyme. The more significant negative effect on the lymphocytes of patients with tuberculosis was observed when rifampicin was administered.

[Effects of transcranial magnetotherapy on electroencephalographic parameters in females with overactive urinary bladder].

Urodynamic parameters and bioelectric brain activity were studied in 30 females aged 24-66 years with overactive bladder (OAB) before and after transcranial magnetotherapy. It was found that OAB patients have disorders of bioelectric brain activity by two types of EEG patterns (I.A.

[Search for an optimal therapy of patients with atrial fibrillation (results of many years of comparison of three treatment strategies).].

Patients with nonrheumatic atrial fibrillation (n=465, mean age 59.4+/-3.8 years) received controlled therapy for 7.

[Cellulases from microorganisms].

Compositions of cellulase-hemicellulase systems of aerobic fungi (hyphomycetes, ascomycetes, and basidiomycetes), aerobic bacteria, actinomycetes, as well as anaerobic fungi and bacteria, are considered in the context of modern structural classification of glycosyl hydrolases. A new nomenclature of cellulases and relative enzymes based on their structural classification is reviewed. Some opportunities of cellulase improvement by means of protein engineering are discussed.

[Polyclonal antiserum against noncatalytic part of cellobiohydrolase I from Trichoderma reesei].

A specific antiserum to the noncatalytic part of cellobiohydrolase I from Trichoderma reesei was obtained by exhaustion of rabbit antiserum to the native enzyme with its catalytic domain prepared by papain treatment of cellobiohydrolase I tightly adsorbed onto microcrystalline cellulose.

[Cellobiohydrolase from Clostridium thermocellum, synthesized by a recombinant E. coli strain].

Clostridium thermocellum cellobiohydrolase was isolated in preparative amounts from the recombinant strain of E. coli K12 C600 carrying plasmid pCU 304 with a C. thermocellum chromosomal DNA insertion.

[A new type of Clostridium thermocellum endoglucanase produced by the recombinant strain of E. coli. Some properties and identification in donor cells].

The properties of endoglucanase produced by the recombinant strain of E. coli carrying plasmid pCU 104 with a 2.9 kb insert of chromosomal DNA of C.

[Some features of methylpyrophosphate hydrolysis by yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase].

The interaction of yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase with methylpyrophosphate was studied. In the presence of Mg2+ the rate of hydrolysis of the methylpyrophosphate-Zn2+ complex by the enzyme was shown to decrease. This was accompanied by competition of Zn2+ and Mg2+ for one site of Me2+ binding on the enzyme.

[Methylpyrophosphate, the simplext organic substrate of yeast inorganic phyrophosphatase].

The interaction between yeast inorganic pyrophosphatase and the simplest organic substrate, methylpyrophosphate, was studied. Methylpyrophosphate hydrolysis occurred most intensively in the presence of Zn2+ less intensively in the presence of CO2+ and Mn2+ and did not occur at all in the presence of Mg2+. The complex convertible into reaction products contains two Zn2+ and one molecule of zinc methylpyrophosphate per one active center.

[Noninvasive diagnosis of mitral insufficiency due to chordal rupture].

The paper describes the main signs of the rupture of chordae tendineae as a cause of mitral incompetence. The main place is given to the echocardiographic signs of this syndrome. The rupture of chordae tendineae is characterized by a certain combination of symptoms including the etiological factors of rupture, the clinical picture of cardiac insufficiency, a tendency to atrial fibrillation, auscultative picture of papillochordal insufficiency and the typical echocardiographic signs of this condition.
