Placental Macrovascular Pattern from Pregnancies with Maternal Hypertensive and Fetal Growth Capacity Complications.

Unlabelled: Histomorphometric measurements of the wall thickness and internal diameter of the macrovessels of the chorionic villi of placentas from pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia or fetal growth restriction in comparison with normotensive pregnancy.

Methods: The research included placentas from singleton pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia and/or fetal growth restriction, women delivered in medical institutions in Karaganda city (Kazakhstan). Placentas were divided into three groups: PE ( = 59), isolated FGR ( = 24), and PE with FGR ( = 41).

The Oxidized proteins and activity of the Cl-/HCО3- exchanger in erythrocytes of patients with acute alcohol intoxication.

Background: The purpose of this research was to study the morphological properties and the products of oxidative protein modification in erythrocytes of patients with acute alcohol intoxication. Two groups of subjects were analyzed. The first one included 39 patients with acute alcohol intoxication.

[Evaluation of cardiovascular health state in teachers].

Comparative analysis covered cardiovascular system state in teachers of primary school, secondary school and additional education in Rostov region educational institutions. Evaluation covered 7 levels of "ideal cardiovascular health" parameters.

The modified proteins in erythrocytes at hemodialysis patients.

The main goal of our research was to study the modified proteins and activity of integral band 3 protein in erythrocytes of patients with end-stage renal failure during hemodialysis. Depending on the starting nosological variant 2 groups were formed. The first group included 27 patients with end-stage renal failurein the outcome of chronic pyelonephritis, the second - 20 patients with end-stage renal failure, developed on a background of chronic glomerulonephritis.

Sex hormone regulation of tear lipocalin in the rabbit lacrimal gland.

Tear lipocalin (TL) (approximately 18 kDa), a member of the lipocalin superfamily, has been identified as one of the major proteins present in rabbit lacrimal fluid. The concentration of TL has been found to be decreased in the tears of patients with dry eye disease. Lacrimal gland insufficiency, one of the major causes of dry eye disease, is known to affect mainly postmenopausal women, where there is a significant decrease in the production of androgen and estrogen.
