The Composite TiO-CuO Layers Formed by Electrophoretic Method for CO Gas Photoreduction.

This study demonstrates the ability to control the properties of TiO-CuO composite layers for photocatalytic applications by using a simple electrophoretic deposition method from isopropanol-based suspension. To obtain uniform layers with a controlled composition, the surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate was used, which influenced the electrophoretic mobility of the particles and the morphology of the deposited layers. The TiO-CuO composite layers with different CuO contents (1.

Antibodies to Hepatitis B core antigen prevalence study in Kazakhstan.

Introduction: Kazakhstan is being considered medium-endemic for Hepatitis B virus infection (HBV). HBV remains transmissible by direct exposure to infected blood or organic fluids. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of anti-HBcore and the risk factors impacting positive anti-HBcore markers among donors at Scientific-Production Center of Transfusiology, Ministry of Healthcare of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Photoelectron Properties and Organic Molecules Photodegradation Activity of Titania Nanotubes with CuO Nanoparticles Heat Treated in Air and Argon.

Titania is very famous photocatalyst for decomposition of organic pollutants. Its photocatalytic properties significantly depend on the morphology and chemical composition of the samples. Herein, the TiO nanotubes/CuO nanoheterostructures have been synthesized and the effect of heat treatment performed in molecular atmospheres of air and argon on their photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic properties has been studied.

Placental vascular remodeling in pregnant women with COVID-19.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has been causing the pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that has so far resulted in over 450 million infections and six million deaths. This respiratory virus uses angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 as a receptor to enter host cells and affects various tissues in addition to the lungs. The present study reports that the placental arteries of women who gave birth to live full-term newborns while developing COVID-19 during pregnancy exhibit severe vascular wall thickening and the occlusion of the vascular lumen.

Anodic TiOnanotube arrays for photocatalytic COconversion: comparative photocatalysis and EPR study.

Titania (TiO) is a widely used semiconductor for the photocatalytic decomposition of organic impurities in air, water and the conversion of COinto hydrocarbon fuel precursors. TiOin the form of nanotubes arrays is the most attractive for practical use because of the morphological advantages providing more favorable diffusion of photocatalytic reaction products and a low recombination rate of photogenerated electrons and holes. We have carried out a comparative study of the photocatalytic activity of gas-phase conversion of COto hydrocarbon products and the defect properties of multi-walled and single-walled arrays of TiOnanotubes.

Oxa-spirocycles: synthesis, properties and applications.

A general approach to a new generation of spirocyclic molecules - oxa-spirocycles - was developed. The key synthetic step was iodocyclization. More than 150 oxa-spirocyclic compounds were prepared.

Bicyclic Pyrrolidines for Medicinal Chemistry via [3 + 2]-Cycloaddition.

A general approach to bicyclic fused pyrrolidines via [3 + 2]-cycloaddition between nonstabilized azomethyne ylide and endocyclic electron-deficient alkenes was elaborated. "Push-pull" alkenes and CF-alkenes did not react with the azomethyne ylide under the previously reported conditions, and we developed a superior protocol (LiF, 140 °C, no solvent). Among obtained products were medchem-relevant bicyclic sulfones, monofluoro-, difluoro-, and trifluoromethyl-substituted pyrrolidines.

[CLINICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE HYPOPLASTIC LEFT HEART SYNDROME IN ONE OF THE TWINS IN PREGNANCY WHICH OCCURRED USING IN VITRO FERTILIZATION. OWN OBSERVATION].

The article represents clinical and pathoanatomical analysis of a case of full-term pregnancy with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) in one of the twins, which occurred using in vitro fertilization (IVF). The dead macerated fetus with malformations after selective feticide at the 20th week of pregnancy and dichorial diamniotic placenta were studied. In connection with the expressive autolytic changes in the internal organs of the fetus, which do not allow to confirm the diagnosis of left ventricular hypoplasia at autopsy and establish its type of structure, additional measurements of the heart structures of the fetus with HLHS on archived video materials of ultrasound diagnostics were performed.

[HYPOPLASTIC LEFT HEART SYNDROME: MORPHOGENESIS OF PATOMORPHOLOGICAL TYPES OF THE LEFT VENTRICLE].

The purpose of the study was to investigate the morphogenesis of the left ventricle in the hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). There are five types of hypoplastic left ventricles were identified: with a slit-like shape and hypoplasia of LV wall, with a slit-like cavity shape and wall hypertrophy and types with endocardial fibroelastosis (with a cylindrical cavity shape, with lacunar cavities and lacunar-cylindrical cavity of the left ventricle), as a result of differences in the wall structure, cavity shape, presence or absence of endocardial fibroelastosis. The analysis of morphometric data of pathomorphological types of the left ventricle in the HLHS revealed the possible ways of their morphogenesis.

Cognitive disability in estrogenectomited and old rats with development of diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: In recent years, there have been many works devoted to the study of the effects of sex hormones on cognitive function. Clinical studies have found that inmenopausal women, the tendency to develop type 2 diabetes will increase, the spatial and short-term working memory worsens, and there is a tendency to develop depression. The findings suggest that estrogens are involved in the mechanisms of insulin resistance in tissues, in the synthesis of mediators in the catecholaminergic systems of the brain, but many questions remain unresolved.

A medical error: does law help or hinder.

Objective: Introduction: Health systems and health policies across the European Union are becoming more and more interconnected and also more complex. This increased interconnection raises many health policy issues, including health care quality. Mistakes in medical care can occur anywhere in the health care system - at hospitals, doctor's offices, nursing homes, pharmacies, or patients' homes - and in any part of the treatment process involving wrong medication, improper treatment, or incorrect or delayed test results.

EFFECT OF ESTROGENS ON THE FLUORESCENCE INTENSITY OF CATECHOLAMINES IN THE LIMBIC-HYPOTHALAMIC STRUCTURES OF THE BRAIN.

In scientific works of recent years, there is much evidence that sex hormones are actively involved in the processes of neurogenesis, synaptogenesis. Electron microscopy data indicate the presence of membrane estrogen receptors in limbic-hypothalamic structures, which confirms the role of sex hormones in learning and memory processes. In the basis of neurochemical mechanisms of the development of cognitive disorders, in addition to the hormonal component, a leading role belongs to noradrenergic and serotonergic neurotransmission.

[Prevalence and incidence of infections among blood donors in Astana].

The prevalence and incidence of infections among 28,248 blood donors in Astana in 2012 was determined. The estimated residual risk of the transfusion infection was as follows: for HIV--1,2, HCV--137,7, HBV--125,4 per 1 million donations. High risk of transfusion infection with HIV, hepatitis B, and C stimulates the active implementation of the measures for increasing the safety of blood: the selection of donors, increasing the sensitivity of infections screening methods, inactivation of pathogens in blood components and transfusion management appointment at the clinic.

[Functional and morphological changes of the diencephalon vascular endothelium of rats in experimental ischemia-reperfusion injury and diabetes mellitus].

We have studied the influence of bilateral carotid ischemia-reperfusion on the indices of the functional and morphological condition of the vascular endothelium of the brain hypothalamolimbic complex. It has been established that a decrease of the density of endothelial location in an early ischemic-reperfusion period in the control rats has a relative characterstipulated by edema of cells whereas on the 12-th day of observation an increase of the absolute density of cells takes place. During both periods of observation there is an increased content of the tjtal RNA in the capillary endotheliocytes of all the structures.
