PECULIARITIES OF FORMATION OF CARBOHYDRATE METABOLISM DISORDERS WITH COMORBID CHRONIC PANCREATITIS AND CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE.

Objective: The aim: To determine glycemic condition, regulation of carbohydrate metabolism, degree of insulin resistance in patients with chronic pancreatitis with its isolated course and with comorbid COPD and diabetes mellitus.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 110 patients with chronic pancreatitis were examined. The first group of patients included 38 individuals with an isolated course of chronic pancreatitis (1 group), 2nd group included 35 patients with chronic pancreatitis and COPD, 3rd group included 37 patients with chronic pancreatitis and COPD and type 3c diabetes mellitus.

The role of hydrogen sulfide in the progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

Introduction: The steady increase in the incidence of comorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis against the background of obesity in people of working age in Ukraine and in the world stipulates the need of investigation of the mechanisms of interconnection and the search for new factors of the pathogenesis of progression of this comorbid pathology. Attention to the role of hydrogen sulfide in the development of fibrosis has only been recently paid. The aim: To establish the role of hydrogen sulfide in the mechanisms of progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis against the background of obesity.

Inkjet-printed aligned quantum rod enhancement films for their application in liquid crystal displays.

Semiconductor quantum rods (QRs) show a polarized emission, which opens up the possibility of the enhancement of both brightness and color for liquid crystal displays (LCD) in the form of quantum rod enhancement films (QREFs) for LCD backlights. However, the QR alignment over a large area, suitable for displays, is a challenge. Inkjet printing of QREFs, introduced here, allows fabrication of well-aligned, uniform QREFs on photoaligned substrates using optimized QR inks.
