Catmint ( L.) Phylogenetics and Metabolic Responses in Variable Growth Conditions.

(catmint; Lamiaceae) is a perennial medicinal plant with a wide geographic distribution in Europe and Asia. This study first characterized the taxonomic position of using DNA barcoding technology. Since medicinal plants are rich in secondary metabolites contributing to their adaptive immune response, we explored the metabolic adjustment operating under variable environments.

[Molecular markers as risk factors for thyroid cancer].

Thyroid cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the endocrine system. An increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer has been noted over the past decade, mainly due to papillary cancer. The influence of environmental factors, increased availability of medical care, including sensitive diagnostic tests, such as ultrasound and fine - needle aspiration (FNA), can affect the fact of the growth of this incidence.

Use of a multiplex DNA extraction PCR in the identification of pathogens in travelers' diarrhea.

Background: Diarrhea is one of the most common ailments afflicting travelers with attack rates of 30-40% for medium to high-risk destinations. As travelers' diarrhea (TD) is syndromic and caused by a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria, parasites and viruses, multiplex deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology can be useful for determining the etiology of TD pathogens.

Objective: The goal of this retrospective study was to produce clinically relevant and useful data on gastrointestinal illness related to travel identified by culture-independent methods of diagnosis-use of the multiplex DNA extraction PCR platform (BioFire FilmArray GI Panel) and to describe the use of this technology in detection of enteric pathogens.

[Assessment of clinical-instrumental, morphological data and expression of coxsackie adenovirus receptor in patients with inflammatory cardiac pathology].

In 22 patients with heart failure and/or ventricular arrhythmias presumably of inflammatory etiology the results of clinical and instrumental investigation were analyzed and compared to the endomyocardial biopsy data. In the subgroup of patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) we revealed features indicative of lesser contribution of inflammatory destruction in pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy. The only virus, detected in biopsy samples, was parvovirus B19.

[Efficiency and safety of allapinin in short- and long-term treatment of patients with normal heart and ventricular premature beats].

Unlabelled: Allapinin, class 1C antiarrhythmic drug, is highly effective in treatment of patients with ventricular premature beats (VPB). The purpose of work was retrospective assessment of efficacy and safety of allapinin in patients with benign ventricular arrhythmias. 73 patients with VPB and no structural heart disease were selected from a database.

[Estimation of immune response parameters in patients with frequent premature ventricular contractions without signs of organic pathology of the cardiovascular system].

Aim: To study the specific features of an immune response and the role of infectious pathogens in the occurrence, development, and maintenance of ventricular ectopic activity in patients without signs of organic disease of the cardiovascular system (CVS).

Subjects And Methods: The investigation enrolled 91 patients (27 men and 64 women with a mean age of 36.5 +/- 11.

[Synthetic conformational antigen, simulating the extracellular part of M2-muscarinic receptor and its reactivity with sera from patients with idiopathic arrhythmias].

Linear peptides corresponding to fragment 83-98 of the first loop and fragments 168-192 and 171-182 of the second extracellular loops of M2-muscarinic receptor (marker of early cardiac disorders and arrhythmias) were synthesized by Fmoc-SPPS method. A new conformational antigen was synthesized by method of selective ligation of linear peptides by disulfide bond with native localization. Peptides were studied in reaction with sera from patients with idiopathic arrhythmias.

[Novel conformational peptide antigen, which simulates an immunodominant epitope of the 2nd extracellular loop of β1-adrenoceptor. Computer simulation, synthesis, spatial structure].

By means of computer simulation has been built polypeptide antigen conformational structure that imitates the immunodominant epitope of the 2nd extracellular loop of β1-adrenoreceptor. A linear 25-membered peptide corresponding to calculated sequence was synthesized by means of solid-phase methoyd using Fmoc-technology, then directed by the closure ofdisulfide bridges was obtained original bicyclic polypeptide corresponding to the proposed structure of the conformational antigen. With the help of high-resolution NMR spectroscopy 3D structure of synthetic conformational antigen was investigated.

Proteome analysis of chloroplasts from the moss Physcomitrella patens (Hedw.) B.S.G.

Intact chloroplasts were prepared from protoplasts of the moss Physcomitrella patens according to an especially developed method. They were additionally separated into stroma and thylakoid fractions. The proteomes of intact plastids, stroma, and thylakoids were analyzed by 1D-electrophoresis under denaturing conditions followed by protein digestion and nano-LC-ESI-MS/MS of tryptic peptides from gel bands.

Proteomic characterization of Mycoplasma gallisepticum nanoforming.

The goal of this work was to create a model for the long persistence of Mycoplasma gallisepticum in depleted medium and under low growth temperature followed by proteomic study of the model. Nanoforms and revertants for M. gallisepticum were obtained.

Proteome analysis of the moss Physcomitrella patens (Hedw.) B.S.G.

The sequencing of the moss Physcomitrella patens genome has facilitated studies of the plant proteome. To develop a proteome reference map based on the genome sequence, we conducted 2D electrophoreses of proteins extracted from moss protoplasts, protonemata, and gametophores grown under standard conditions on Petri dishes. On silver-stained gels, depending on the developmental stage of the moss, we resolved from 500 to 600 protein spots that were then excised and digested by trypsin, and 212 proteins were identified by PMF-MALDI-TOF.
