Antibacterial Action of Protein Fraction Isolated from Hemolymph against NBIMCC 8785.

Natural products and especially those from marine organisms are being intensively explored as an alternative to synthetic antibiotics. However, the exact mechanisms of their action are not yet well understood. The molecular masses of components in the hemolymph fraction with MW 50-100 kDa from were determined using ImageQuant™ TL v8.

Influence of the azo-dye amaranth on the trophic structure of activated sludge in a model experiment.

The textile industry generates significant amounts of wastewater containing high concentrations of azo dyes. An important point in the process of purification of azo dyes is their influence on the activated sludge (AS) in wastewater treatment plants. Azo dyes, such as amaranth, play the role of xenobiotics.

[Esophagoprotective therapy in patients with erosive esophagitis].

Aim: To evaluate the advantages of using combined therapy of proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) and esophagoprotector in comparison with basic therapy of PPIs for 4 weeks based on the results of changes in the endoscopic picture.To compare the effectiveness of 4-week PPI therapy and 4-week combination therapy with PPI and esophagoprotector Alfasoxx (sodium hyaluronate, chondroitin sulfate, poloxomer 407) in patients with erosive esophagitis (EE) of any degree according to the Los Angeles Endoscopic Classification.

Materials And Methods: 81 patients with EE AC according to the Los Angeles endoscopic classification (1994) was enrolled in the study on the basis of the clinic of Peter the Great, Mechnikov North-Western State Medical University.

Consortium of Indigenous Fecal Bacteria in the Treatment of Metabolic Syndrome.

The features of gut microbiota in metabolic syndrome (MS) and ways to correct it using autoprobiotics, based on indigenous bacteria obtained from fecal samples of the host, remain unexplored. The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of an indigenous consortium (IC) of fecal bacteria in treatment of patients with MS. The study was carried out on 36 patients with MS, manifested with abdominal obesity, eating disorders, dyslipidemia, and hypertension.

Effect and Mechanisms of Antibacterial Peptide Fraction from Mucus of against NBIMCC 8785.

Peptides isolated from the mucus of Cornu aspersum could be prototypes for antibiotics against pathogenic bacteria. Information regarding the mechanisms, effective concentration, and methods of application is an important tool for therapeutic, financial, and ecological regulation and a holistic approach to medical treatment. A peptide fraction with MW < 10 kDa was analyzed by MALDI-TOF-TOF using Autoflex™ III.
