Adsorption of Native Amino Acids on Nanocrystalline TiO: Physical Chemistry, QSPR, and Theoretical Modeling.

The affinity of biomolecules, such as peptides and proteins, with inorganic surfaces, is a fundamental topic in biotechnology and bionanotechnology. Amino acids are often used as "model" bits of peptides or proteins for studying their properties in different environments and/or developing functional surfaces. Despite great demand for knowledge about amino acid interactions with metal oxide surfaces, studies on the issue represent a fragmentary picture.

[Can the intra-abdominal hypertension be the cause of poly-organic insufficiency during the destructive pancreatitis?].

The results of measurement and dynamics of intra-abdominal pressure obtained in 129 patients with acute destructive pancreatitis are presented. It was revealed that in 78% cases the pancreatonecrosis is accompanied by increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP); the intra-abdominal hypertension have developed in 9,3% patients. The prolonged intra-abdominal hypertension in the patients with progressive pancreatonecrosis requires the performance of laparotomy, which contributes to decrease in intra-abdominal pressure.
