Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate the role of immunological markers in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and accompanying health issues by comparing two groups: one with OSA and one without.
  • Results showed higher levels of certain markers (GFAP, BDNF, antibodies to acetylcholine receptors) and indicators of depression and drowsiness in OSA patients, suggesting cognitive impairments linked to these markers.
  • The findings indicate that neuromarkers like GFAP and BDNF are associated with cognitive dysfunction in OSA, with elevated acetylcholine receptor antibodies possibly pointing to neuromuscular issues and emotional problems, particularly depression and fatigue, worsening as OSA severity increases.

The crystal structure of superprotonic conductor caesium hydrogen sulfate phosphate [Cs(HSO)(HPO)] have been analyzed using neutron diffraction methods. Additionally, its structure and surface layers have been investigated using atomic force microscopy. From the diffraction data obtained, Fourier syntheses of neutron scattering densities were calculated, and the localization of hydrogen atoms and the parameters of three types of hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure were accurately determined.

Bacterial infections represent an unsolved problem today since bacteria can evade antibiotics and suppress the host's immune response. A family of TRIM proteins is known to play a role in antiviral defense. However, the data on the involvement of the corresponding genes in the antibacterial response are limited.

Radiocaesium and radiostrontium contamination in the 'soil - rhizosphere - plants (aerial parts)' system was monitored in the floodplain ecosystem of the Yenisei River in the near impact zone of the Krasnoyarsk Mining and Chemical Combine (MCC). The monitored system included soil, rhizosphere, and sedge vegetation on islands and the river's east bank. The Cs and Sr specific activities displayed intricate space and time patterns controlled by the river water level, including the time and duration of floods and their correlation with the sedge vegetation season.

Template activating factor-I (TAF-I) is a multifunctional protein involved in various biological processes including the inhibition of histone acetylation, DNA replication, cell cycle regulation, and oncogenesis. Two main TAF-I isoforms with different N-termini, TAF-Iα and TAF-Iβ (SET), are expressed in cells. There are numerous data about functional properties of TAF-Iβ, whereas the effects of TAF-Iα remain largely unexplored.

Background: QRS fragmentation (fQRS) represents a marker of local myocardial fibrosis, especially in patients with CAD (coronary artery disease). However, little is known about the association between fQRS and the severity of coronary atherosclerosis as defined by the Gensini score.

Objective: To identify the angiographic and echocardiographic characteristics of patients with suspected CAD depending on the location and extent of fQRS.

TRIM14 is an important component of innate immunity that defends organism from various viruses. It was shown that TRIM14 restricted influenza A virus (IAV) infection in cell cultures in an interferon-independent manner. However, it remained unclear whether TRIM14 affects IAV reproduction and immune system responses upon IAV infection in vivo.

Crystals of Cs(SO)(HPO) belong to the family of alkali metal acid salts that show a high protonic conductivity at relatively low temperatures. Such properties make superprotonic crystals an excellent choice for the study of the influence of the hydrogen subsystem on the physicochemical properties and promising materials for energy-efficient technologies. Single crystals of Cs(SO)(HPO) were studied by neutron diffraction methods, optical polarization microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

Unlabelled: Vascular cognitive disturbances are widespread in patients with arterial hypertension, especially when attached to arterial hypertension of chronic kidney disease. Each of these diseases has a negative impact on brain vessels and may contribute to cognitive deficits.

The Purpose Of The Study: To evaluate the neuropsychological profile and determine the risk of cognitive impairment in patients with arterial hypertension depending on the presence or absence of risk factors for chronic renal disease at the sanatorium stage.

We propose an improved earlier described "mirror" method for detecting in cell nuclear extracts mutations that arise in DNA during its replication due to the misincorporation of deoxyadenosine-5'-monophosphate (dAMP) opposite 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG). This method is based on the synthesis of a complementary chain ("mirror") by nuclear extracts of different mice organs on a template containing 8-oxoG and dideoxycytidine residue (ddC) at the 3'‑end. The "mirror" was amplified by PCR using primers part of which was non-complementary to the template.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative pathology resulting from the degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra (SN). Neurotrophic factors (NTFs) and their receptors are key regulators of the survival, differentiation, and development of neurons. However, the role of these factors in the pathogenesis of PD is still unclear.

Aim: To conduct a comprehensive examination of patients with controlled hypertension, including assessment of the functional state of the cardiovascular system, vegetative and psycho-emotional status.

Material And Methods: The study involved 80 patients (51 men, 29 women) divided into 2 groups: 60 patients with essential hypertension (EH) without concomitant severe pathology and normal blood pressure during the preceding 3 months (group 1) and 20 healthy patients without EH (group 2). Anthropometric parameters (height, weight, body mass index), parameters of central hemodynamic (heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure), vegetative status (vegetative Kerdo index), mental and emotional status (SCL-90R, Leonhard questionnaire, HADS, SF-36, MPQ) were assessed.

Article Synopsis
  • The TRIM14 protein is involved in both antiviral defense and cancer processes, affecting apoptosis in different ways depending on the type of tumor cells.
  • A study investigated the role of human TRIM14 and its mutant form in inducing apoptosis in transgenic loach embryos, revealing increased apoptosis associated with both forms of the gene.
  • The findings suggest that TRIM14 promotes cell death during embryonic development through the activation of certain proapoptotic genes, with the mutant version following a different, p53-independent pathway.

The study of migration pathways of artificial isotopes in the flood-plain biogeocoenoses, impacted by the nuclear fuel cycle plants, requires determination of isotope speciations in the biomass of higher terrestrial plants. The optimal method for their determination is the sequential elution technique (SET). The technique was originally developed to study atmospheric pollution by metals and has been applied to lichens, terrestrial and aquatic bryophytes.

Over the last few years, in vitro models, based on patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), have received considerable attention for modeling different neurodegenerative disorders. Using this model, we analyzed transcription of 15 tripartite motif (trim) genes in iPSCs, derived from the different groups: Parkinson's disease (PD) patients bearing mutations in different genes, patient with the sporadic form of PD, and the healthy individuals. The transcription was observed during neuronal differentiation of the cells in vitro into neuronal stem cells and terminally differentiated neurons.

The effects of ultrasmall (2-3 nm) gold nanoparticles on native epididymal sperm chromatin of CBAxC57BL/6 hybrid mice and 129/IMG mice with a mutation in the DNA-polymerase iota gene were studied. It is shown that for both mouse strains after sperm incubation in a solution containing Au nanoparticles, at 23, 37 and 60 degrees C for 30 min followed by 1 hour treatment in dithiothreitol solution, a decrease in the number of nuclei with fully decondensed chromatin was observed compared with the control. Though, the manifestation of this effect in the population of 129/IMG mice mature sperm, was weaker.
