An Investigation of Severe Influenza Cases in Russia during the 2022-2023 Epidemic Season and an Analysis of HA-D222G/N Polymorphism in Newly Emerged and Dominant Clade 6B.1A.5a.2a A(H1N1)pdm09 Viruses.

In Russia, during the COVID-19 pandemic, a decrease in influenza circulation was initially observed. Influenza circulation re-emerged with the dominance of new clades of A(H3N2) viruses in 2021-2022 and A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses in 2022-2023. In this study, we aimed to characterize influenza viruses during the 2022-2023 season in Russia, as well as investigate A(H1N1)pdm09 HA-D222G/N polymorphism associated with increased disease severity.

Manganese Oxide Nanoparticles Inhibit the Growth of Subcutaneous U-87MG Glioblastoma Xenografts in Immunodeficient Mouse.

Our previous study demonstrated that manganese oxide nanoparticles (MnO NP) selectively destroyed U-87MG and U251 human glioblastoma cells in vitro. MnO NP were synthesized and studied by electron microscopy. Their antitumor properties were studied in vivo on the model of immunodeficient SCID mice with subcutaneous xenografts of U-87MG human glioblastoma.

Phase states, microstructure and dielectric characteristics of solid solutions (1 - )NaNbO - CaNbO and (1 - )NaNbO - SrNbO.

Ceramics of binary systems solid solutions (1 - )NaNbO - CaNbO and (1 - )NaNbO - SrNbO with non-isostructural extreme components were prepared by the solid-phase reactions technique with the following sintering using conventional ceramic technology. It was found that ceramics with ≤ 0.2 have a perovskite structure.

[The possibility of using a laser stereolithography method in forensic medicine].

The data of computer-aided tomography are proposed to be used in forensic medical diagnostic and identification studies. The technology of making hard copies of objects by laser stereolithography on the basis of tomography data is described.
