A potentially fatal cranial pathology in a specimen of Tarchia.

Skulls of the Mongolian ankylosaurids Shamosaurus, Tarchia, and Saichania were scanned for information about their internal anatomy. Computed tomography (CT) imaging of the Tarchia skull revealed substantial internal anatomical differences from known Campanian North American taxa, particularly in the morphology of the airway. In addition, unexpected anomalies were detected within the airway and sinuses.

Global TALES feasibility study: Personal narratives in 10-year-old children around the world.

Personal narratives make up more than half of children's conversations. The ability to share personal narratives helps build and maintain friendships, promotes physical and emotional wellbeing, supports classroom participation, and underpins academic success and vocational outcomes. Although personal narratives are a universal discourse genre, cross-cultural and cross-linguistic research into children's ability to share personal narratives is in its infancy.

Dexamethasone attenuates the modulatory effect of the insular cortex on the baroreflex in anesthetized rat.

The arterial baroreflex (BR) is an important neural mechanism for the stabilization of arterial pressure (AP). It is known that the insular cortex (IC) and other parts of the central autonomic network (CAN) are able to modulate the BR arc, altering baroreflex sensitivity (BRS). In addition, the sensitivity of the BR changes under the influence of hormones, in particular glucocorticoids (GCs).

International Survey of Speech-Language Pathologists' Practices in Working with Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Objective: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental impairment. To better understand the role of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in different countries in supporting children with ASD, the International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics (IALP) Child Language Committee developed a survey for SLPs working with children or adolescents with ASD. Method and Participants: The survey comprised 58 questions about background information of respondents, characteristics of children with ASD, and the role of SLPs in diagnosis, assessment, and intervention practices.

[PARTICIPATION OF NO-ERGIC MECHANISMS IN REALIZATION OF RESPIRATORY EFFECTS OF PRO-INFLAMMATORY CYTOKINE INTERLEUKIN-1-BETA].

The role of NO-ergic mechanisms in the realization of the respiratory effects of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1beta was investigated in acute experiments on anesthetized rats. To achieve this, we studied the effect of intravenous administration of IL-1beta during inhibition of NO-synthase by N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME, a non-specific blocker of NO-synthase) on the parameters of breathing and the Hering-Breuer inspiratory-inhibitory reflex. It was shown that the effect of L-NAME eliminates the IL-1beta-dependent increase of the Hering-Breuer reflex, whereas effects on breathing pattern does not change: the increase in IL-1beta system-level evokes an increase in respiratory rate, tidal volume and lung ventilation.

[MECHANISMS OF MODULATION OF REFLEX CONTROL OF BREATHING AT ELEVATED SYSTEMIC LEVEL OF PROINFLAMMATORY CYTOKINE INTERLEUKIN-1β].

This study explores the hypothesis about the possible involvement of the cyclooxygenase pathway in the effects of interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) on the breathing pattern and Heuring-Breuer respiratory reflexes. Respiratory frequency (fR), tidal volume (VT) and esophageal pressure were recorded in 29 adult male Wistar rats anaesthetized with urethane. Heuring-Breuer reflexes were tested by airway occlusion at achieving functional residual capacity (inspiratory-inhibitory reflex), and at the height of inspiration (expiratory-promoting reflex).

Use of choline chloride for leukocyte cryopreservation (-40 degrees C).

Choline chloride in complex with the main cryophylactic (1,2-propanediol) preserves morphological integrity and functional activity of blood nuclears after freezing to -40 degrees C by the exponential program.

[Influence of amino acids alimentary on contracts ability in 13-adreno- and M-cholinoreactivity of smooth muscles].

It was studied the influence of 20 amino acids on beta-adreno- and M-cholinoreactivity of longitudinal strips (n = 268) of rat uterus horn (n = 46) with the help of adrenaline (10(-8) g/ml) and acetilcholine (10(-6) g/Ml) accordingly. It is shown, that 3 amino acids from 20, including L-histidine (3 x 10(-8) - 3 x 10(-5) g/ml), L-triptophan (10(-8) - 10(-5)) and D-, L-tyrosine (2 x 10(-8) - 2 x 10(-5)), not changing M-cholinoreactivity of uterus smooth muscles, everyone or complexly essentially raised their beta-adrenoreactivity, i.e.

Creation of a gelatin-based solution for preservation of leukocytes.

A new effective and available method is proposed for preservation of human blood leukocytes at supercooling temperature (-10 degrees C). The method consists in induction of cold hypobiosis under protection of an original antifreeze protecting solution containing glycerol (cryoprotector), mexidol (antioxidant and membrane stabilizer), and gelatin preparation (modegel or gelatinol) as the solvent. No washing of the solution from the biological object before its intravenous injection is needed; the solution preserves morphological integrity of cells and their functional activity at a high level for 12 days.

A new method for preservation of viable leukocytes at near-zero temperatures.

We propose a new effective, available, and economic method for preservation of leukocytes at near-zero temperatures for 6 days using an original protecting solution.

Lymphocyte resistance to cold anabiosis of different degree.

We studied the resistance of human blood T and B lymphocytes to cold anabiosis (-20 degrees C, -40 degrees C, and -80 degrees C) of different duration.

Effect of cryohypobiosis on conservation of human blood leukocytes.

Morphological and functional indicators were investigated of donor leukocyte concentrates mixed at a ratio of 1 to 1 with three versions of cold-protective and kept at an undercooling temperature (-10 degree C) for 24 hours, and with a cryoprotector of optimal composition for 12 days,. An optimal version of a non-freezing cold-protective solution was found. It was determined that 76+/-4 % of the neutrophils retain there ability of phagocytosis among the viable cells (81+/-5 %) after a 12 day hypobiosis.

[Introduction of human leukocytes in cold anabiosis (-20 degrees C) under an exponential program].

Investigation of effective and accessible method for administration of human blood leukocytes in the cold anabiosis condition at am oderately low temperature of minus 20 degrees C by the exponential program with cryopreservative which does not require washing from the bio-object after its thawing, has been proposed. Morphological and functional properties of the leukocytes after different periods of conservation in the state of cold anabiosis were studied. The data obtained suggest that optimal conservation of the morpho-functional properties of cells with the aid of this method equals 3 weeks.

Phagocytic activity of neutrophils and lymphocytes at various periods of storage in the state of cold anabiosis (-40 degrees C).

We studied changes in phagocytic activity of neutrophils and lymphocytes subjected to cold anabiosis. The proposed effective method for introduction of human blood leukocytes into cold anabiosis at moderately low temperature (-40 degrees C) in the presence of a cryopreserving agent does not require washout of the biological material after defrosting.

Ability of L-histidine to decrease desensitization of the myometrium to epinephrine.

Experiments were performed with 62 longitudinal strips of the uterine horns from 10 nonpregnant rats. The ability of continuously infused epinephrine in high concentration (10(-6) g/ml, 30 min) to suppress spontaneous contractions due to activation of beta-adrenoceptors progressively decreased, which was associated with receptor desensitization. Histidine in a concentration of 3 x 10(-11) g/ml had no effect, while in concentrations of 3 x 10(-8), 3 x 10(-7), and 3 x 10(-6) g/ml decreased the degree of desensitization.

We propose a simple, effective, and economic method for introducing human blood leukocytes in cold anabiosis at moderately low temperature (-50 degrees Celsius).

[Vitamin E and its structural analogs in tuberculosis].

Efficiency of tocopherol, its analog with a shortened side chain as well as their quinons for tuberculosis was determined. All the studied compounds inhibited peroxide-formation processes in the liver homogenate and mitochondria. The vitamin E amount in the blood is considerably decreased in case of tuberculosis.
