[Treatment of tracheoesophageal fistula and consequences of severe spinal injury].

Modern approaches to intensive care and anesthesiology make it possible to save patients with various severe traumas. Prolonged mechanical ventilation allows stabilizing the patient's status, but can result severe complications including tracheoesophageal fistula. Our patient received severe combined injury after road accident, i.

[The flagship of the national naval medical science (on the 80th anniversary of establishment of the 1st Central Research Institute of the Defense Ministry of Russian Federation)].

The article is devoted to the 80th anniversary of the formation of the naval medical science subunit, which is the part of the 1st Central Research Institute of the Defense Ministry of Russian Federation. In the 30th years of XX century, a group of naval doctors formulated the main directions of preventive naval medicine. For eight decades, several generations of medical scientists have developed and ensured implementation of regulatory requirements for habitability and ergonomics of Navy ships.

[Taxonomic structure of Orthomyxoviridae: current views and immediate prospects].

Analysis of taxonomic structure of Orthomyxoviridae was undertaken in view of its anticipated evolution. Four concepts of circulation of influenza A viruses in the biosphere are discussed, viz. anthrponose, zooanthroponose, metastrongilose, and protozoan.

[Relationship of nuclear import of influenza virus nucleoprotein polymers to their conformational status].

It has been earlier shown that in the cells infected with influenza virus, the molecules of nucleoprotein (NP) are polymers that differ in their conformational maturity and stability. The present investigation has studied the ability of different conformational forms of NP polymers to migrate into the nucleus. Conformationally mature compact NP oligomers are shown to predominantly import into the nucleus.

[Native and renatured oligomer-dependent epitopes of intracellular influenza virus nucleocapsid protein].

Intracellular NP oligomers have been shown to react with some anti-NP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in radio-immnoprecipitation, immunoblotting, and dot immunoassay. Soluble NP monomers obtained after thermal dissociation of NP oligomers are not recognized by mAbs unlike the NP monomers whose concentration increased by about 100-fold due to transfer to the nitrocellulose membrane after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The findings demonstrated that in the intact NP oligomers there were epitopes determined by their quaternary structure.
