Effect of NaCl, copper and cadmium ions on halophytes with different types of salt resistance: accumulation, physiological and biochemical reactions.

The capacities of the euhalophyte SaLi-Cornia perennans Willd. and glycohalophyte Artemisia santonica L. to accumulate NaCl, Cu, and Cd, as well as their physiological and biochemical responses to these compounds, was investigated.

[The study of the association between rs2228570 polymorphism of gene and vitamin D blood serum concentration in the inhabitants of the Russian Arctic].

Genetic factor plays a significant role in nutrient deficiency development, including vitamins, by present time the association between several genetic polymorphisms and vitamin deficiency in the different regions of the world has been established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible association between VDR FokI polymorphism and vitamin D sufficiency in the population of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District of the Russian Federation. The group of participants included 172 people, among them 133 women and 39 men aged 20 to 75 years old.

Tuberculosis cases caused by heterogeneous infection in Eastern Europe and their influence on outcomes.

Introduction: Mycobacterium tuberculosis superinfection is known to occur in areas with high rates of tuberculosis (TB) and has a significant impact on overall clinical TB management.

Aim: We aimed to estimate the superinfection rate in cohorts of drug sensitive and multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR TB) patients from Eastern Europe and the potential role of a second MDR TB strain infecting a patient with active non-MDR TB in treatment outcome.

Methods: The study population included 512 serial M.

[The study of the peculiarities of metabolism in individuals with rs9939609 polymorphism of FTO gene].

A total of 104 people, among them were 18 men and 86 women aged 18 to 67 years--people in the Moscow region of the Russian Federation, in the sanatorium treatment. Association embodiment rs9939609 FTO obesity was studied using allele-specific amplification, detection results in real time using TaqMan-probes complementary DNA polymorphisms. The frequency of the mutant allele in individuals was 47.

[The study of the association of polymorphism rs5219 gene KCNJ11 with obesity and the risk of type 2 diabetes among residents of the Moscow Region].

The study involved 1,050 people living in the Moscow region, including 311 men and 739 women. Genotyping of KCNJ11 rs5219 polymorphisms was performed using allele-specific amplification, result detection in real time and using TaqMan-probes complementary to polymorphic DNA regions. Results of the study of KCN11 rs5219 gene polymorphism showed that 14.
