Neuroinflammation in Obese Children.

Obesity is associated with chronic persistent inflammation due to a pool of tissue macrophages that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and cause neuroinflammation. The analysis of the association of CD14CD163 monocytes in the peripheral blood with cognitive functions in 56 obese children (mean age 11.95 (9.

[A technique of using an individual occlusal stamp].

Was to describe a step-by-step protocol for the use of an individually manufactured silicone stamp for the restoration of class II carious cavities. Restoration of a tooth using the «silicone key» method in carious defects on approximal surfaces has a number of features. Liquid cofferdam was used as a material for the manufacture of an individual occlusal stamp.

[Cerebral perfusion and tractography in obese children].

Objective: To study the relationship of the structure of the white matter of the brain, neurovascularization and cognitive functions in obese children and adolescents.

Material And Methods: The study included 64 obese patients, aged 12-17 years, and 54 children without excess body weight. A general clinical examination, neuropsychological testing (the Raven's test with the calculation of IQ, MoCA, the Rey 15-Item Memory Test (RMT), 1 and 2), magnetic resonance imaging (MR) tractography and contrast-free perfusion of the brain were conducted.

[Brain tractography in type 1 and 2 diabetes and cognitive impairment].

Objective: To study conductive white matter pathways in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes with- and without cognitive impairment.

Materials And Methods: The study included 85 patients with type 1 and 95 patients with type 2 diabetes who were divided into those who had normal cognitive functions and those with cognitive impairment. The groups were comparable in age and duration of the disease.

[A new genetic variant of the PUUV virus from the Maritime Territory and its natural carrier red-grey vole Clethrionomys rufocanus].

Pulmonary tissues of red-grey voles, Clethrionomys rufocanus from Shkotovo District and Maritime Territory were investigated. rt-PCR was used to detect the hantavirus nt-222 M-segment genome and nt-403 mitochondrial DNA fragment. A new genetic variant of the PUUV virus named as "Shkotovo", that is different from other PUUV strains by 18-23%, was shown to be circulating in red-grey voles.
