Efficacy and acceptability of early mifepristone-misoprostol medical abortion in Ukraine: results of two clinical trials.

Background: Abortion services are legally available in Ukraine although there are issues in quality and access. Two studies were conducted in Ukraine to expand options for women, and to determine the efficacy and acceptability of medical abortion.

Study Design: Two open-label clinical trials were conducted at six clinics in Ukraine.

Th1 and Th2 in human IVF pregnancy with allogenic fetus.

Problem: Positive obstetric outcome of allogenic in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancies makes interesting the subject of additional regulatory mechanisms after oocyte donation.

Method Of Study: Eighty eight women: 23 donation of oocytes (DO), 33 IVF, 32 natural conception (NC) were studied in first trimester of pregnancy. Intracellular production of cytokines and chemokine receptors expression were studied by flow cytometry.

Burdock, a novel retrotransposon in Drosophila melanogaster, integrates into the coding region of the cut locus.

The burdock element is known to be the 2.6-kb insertion into the same region of the cut locus in 12 independently obtained ct-lethal mutants. Here we have determined the complete sequences of this insertion and of the hot spot region.

[TUB9 polymorphism in the CFTR gene of cystic fibrosis patients, carriers, and healthy donors from the Moscow region. SSCP and restriction analyses].

Data on the screening of 266 non-delta F508 chromosomes (42 cystic fibrosis patients, 43 carriers, and 48 healthy donors from the Moscow region) for the presence of structural abnormalities within the tenth exon of the CFTR gene conducted by means of the single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) technique in nonisotope modification are presented. The method used made it possible to detect three SSCP variants, one of which was present in cystic fibrosis patients (23.8%) and carriers (9.
