[Psychological characteristics of working and non-working elderly people.].

A comparative analysis of the psychological characteristics of the working and non-working population in the context of personal employment, demand and quality life. The study was conducted with the participation of 51 women and 58 men, age 65,35±5,25 years. Randomization into two groups: the 1st group - 59 people of those continuing to work in the field of higher and vocational education; the 2nd group (50 people) consisted of non-working pensioners whose labor activity was related to teaching, taking care of their families, children and grandchildren, the circle of their social contacts is limited by the connections necessary to ensure life.

[The assessment of risk factors of development of extra body mass in children of school age].

The global problems of children health include overweight and obesity and associated high risks of disability, premature death and complications of mental health in adult age. Purpose of the study is to identify alimentary and social risk factors of development of extra body mass in children and adolescents 7-17 years old residing in industrial center of the Eastern Siberia. The average age of studied group of children was 10.

CLASP2 facilitates dynamic actin filament organization along the microtubule lattice.

Coordination between the microtubule and actin networks is essential for cell motility, neuronal growth cone guidance, and wound healing. Members of the CLASP (cytoplasmic linker-associated protein) family of proteins have been implicated in the cytoskeletal cross-talk between microtubules and actin networks; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of CLASP in cytoskeletal coordination are unclear. Here, we investigate CLASP2α's cross-linking function with microtubules and F-actin.

Feedback between mechanosensitive signaling and active forces governs endothelial junction integrity.

The formation and recovery of gaps in the vascular endothelium governs a wide range of physiological and pathological phenomena, from angiogenesis to tumor cell extravasation. However, the interplay between the mechanical and signaling processes that drive dynamic behavior in vascular endothelial cells is not well understood. In this study, we propose a chemo-mechanical model to investigate the regulation of endothelial junctions as dependent on the feedback between actomyosin contractility, VE-cadherin bond turnover, and actin polymerization, which mediate the forces exerted on the cell-cell interface.

[Risk assessment for public health associated with nitrate content in crop products].

The increasing need of the population for crop products (СP) makes continuous monitoring of nitrate content an increasingly urgent task. The accumulation of multidirectional data on the effect of nitrates on the state of the body requires further studies to assess the alimentary risk caused by their admission to the population of various regions. of the work was to study the levels of nitrate contamination of CP and assess the associated risk to the health of children and adults in the Baikal Region.
