The choice of ionic-liquid-like monomers (ILM) for single-ion conducting polyelectrolytes (SICPs) is crucial for the performance of all-solid-state lithium batteries. In the current study, we propose a novel approach for development of SICPs via design and synthesis of a new ILM with long poly(ethylene oxide) spacer between methacrylic group and (trifluoromethane)sulfonylimide anion. Its homopolymer shows an ionic conductivity that is ∼5 orders of magnitude higher (9.

Materials And Methods: Populations and subpopulations of lymphocytes were analyzed by flow cytometry. Antibodies against CD279 were used to detect PD-1 on the CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
Endemic species are especially vulnerable to biodiversity loss caused by isolation or habitat specificity, small population size, and anthropogenic factors. Endemic species biodiversity analysis has a critically important global value for the development of conservation strategies. The rare onion is a narrow-lined endemic species, with natural populations located in the extreme climatic conditions of the Kazakh Altai.

The endangered species is a relict plant of the Ice Age and natural populations are located in extreme climatic conditions of Kazakstan's Altai Mountains. Mobile genetic elements and other interspersed repeats are basic components of a eukaryote genome, which can activate under stress conditions and indirectly promote the survival of an organism against environmental stresses.

Materials And Methods: To solve this task were examined 147 patients and 30 healthy individuals were divided into 4 groups, according to nosology. The number of patients in the COPD group was 38 people, m / f-35/3, median age 63 (57; 69) years, in the LC group -60 people, m / f - 56/4, with a median age of 65 (58; 71) year; LC groupwith CAP -21 persons m / f - 17/4, with a median age of 73(69; 75) years, in the LC group with CAP developed in the period up to 30 days after the end of chemotherapy (LC with CAP / CC) -28 persons m / f - 22/6, with a median age of 70 (67; 73) years, the norm group -30 healthy persons m / f- 26/4, median age 48(40,691 years.

Purpose: To investigate the content and profile of metabolites of bronchopulmonary and intestinal microflora, especially such as short chain fatty acids (SCFA) in various biological substrates in patients with lung malignant tumors on the background of COPD. Estimate their diagnostic and tactical implication.
Materials And Methods: The study involved 98 patients with diseases of the bronchopulmonary system.
Analysis of the efficacy of Grippferon vs. the reference drugs Realdiron and Reaferon-EC against the influenza virus A(H1N1)/2009 in susceptible static cell cultures showed that in the concentrations tested it was efficient in inhibition of the virus cytopathic activity and generation of specific hemagglutinin.

Aim: To study the effectiveness of system for prevention of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in military teams and determine the main ways for its improvement.
Materials And Methods: Data on incidence of CAP in military staff during 1993 - 2008 were used. Analysis of morbidity was performed using classical methods of epidemiological analysis.
The article presents actual questions of epidemiology of outhospital pneumonia (OP), peculiarities of epidemic process of these infections in troops in now-day conditions and updates of main directions of their prophylaxis. It was marked that alongside with clearly defined tendency of lowing, the morbidity by OP in the Armed Forces of RF is still rather high--in 5-7 folds higher than among adult population of the country. Whereby it is predicted further complication of sanitarium-epidemiological situation in connection with increase of call-up.

The intraosseous pressure of tissue fluid, the electrical resistance between electrodes and the parameters of hemodynamics in tibial shaft cavity were measured experimentally. It was established that the occurrence and increase of compact defects led to the enhancement of fluid filtration from capillaries and tissue blood filling, whereas the reduction of compact defects led to hemodynamics parameter decrease. The shunting influence of newly formed regenerate bone capillaries cause an arterial wall elasticity increase and volumetric circulation rate limitation.

The analysis has shown that during distraction there is a positive correlation between the increase in the connective-tissue interlayer area of a distraction reclaim and the overall increase in the area of the distraction reclaim (their ratio is not greater than 30% under the optimal elongation conditions). During fixation there is a decrease in the ratio of the area of a growth zone to the total area of a reclaim and in its total density with a parallel increase in the density of cortical laminae of a newly formed bone.

Changes in tibial hemodynamics have been studied experimentally after applying a clamp (n=41) and resection of superficial femoral artery (n=22) in 63 adult dogs. It has been revealed with the help ofrheovasography that, in case of blood flow disorders in the superficial femoral artery, anastomoses with deep femoral artery branches contribute to maintenance of blood circulation in tibia, and in this connection the parameters of tibial blood flow may significantly differe from those of circulation in the leg soft tissues. Preservation of intraosseous pressure all along tibial diaphyseal cavity demonstrates a possibility of using its driving force to compensate for the circulatory insufficiency in the leg soft tissues and, moreover, in that part of the bone the environment of which in ischemia is involved.

Decrease of dynamometry and electromyography parameters, ultrasonic data are evidence of hard structural and functional disorders of motor system of these patients. Decrease of force and activation characteristics of tested muscles of operated extremity after removal of external fixator relates to high level of central protective inhibition and prolonged afferentation dysbalance at somatosensory system.
