[The structure of the non-psychotic mental disorders in patients with epilepsy with and without pharmacoressistance].

Aim: Patients with epilepsy (PE) develop persistent mental disorders identified as significant personal and affective disorders, especially of depressive and anxiety spectrum, observed in the interictal period of the disease. To study the frequency of non-psychotic mental disorders in patients with epilepsy, to specify the clinical features of non-psychotic affective disorders and to analyze the association of different variants of affective disorders with symptoms of drug-resistance in epilepsy (DRE).

Material And Methods: One hundred and sixty patients with epilepsy, including 80 patients with DRE and 80 patients with controlled epilepsy (CE), were studied using a battery of psychometric scales.

[Acute symptomatic epileptic seizures and status epilepticus].

Acute symptomatic seizures (ASS) are the seizures of different etiology that occur in close temporary relationship to acute damage of the central nervous system arising simultaneously due to metabolic, toxic, infectious and inflammatory factors and structural brain damage. At the time of its origin, ASS is often not distinguished from epileptic seizures in the clinical and electrophysiological parameters, although represent a fundamentally different state from the point of view of pathogenesis, therapy and prognosis. Tactics in the ASS and symptomatic epileptic status of any nature provides for the immediate carrying out differential diagnosis and differential treatment.

Photodynamic inactivation of enveloped virus in protein plasma preparations by solid-phase fullerene-based photosensitizer.

Background: The problem of transfusion-transmitted infections still remains serious and actual for health care despite the detailed testing of donors. Human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B and C viruses and human cytomegalovirus are among the most dangerous pathogens that can be transmitted with blood. Previously, a composition consisting of fullerene layer applied on silica gel particles was shown to inactivate influenza virus up to complete loss of infectivity.

[Development of a method of obtaining lyophilized antileukocyte histotyping sera intended for long-term storage].

An optimal scheme for sublimation of anti-HLA-sera of locuses A, B, C, and DR has been developed, consisting of freezing at 60 degrees C and lyophilization to 29-30 degrees C, this permitting the preparation of initially active antileukocytic sera. The activity and specificity of defrosted native and lyophilized anti-HLA-sera were assessed in the complement-dependent cytotoxicity test. Four-year follow-up of the activity of dried anti-HLA-sera showed that the stabilizer was not needed, for the activities of the sera lyophilized with and without it was virtually equally high.
