Phenotypes of haptoglobin (Hp), group-specific proteins (Gc), transferrins and ceruloplasmin were studied by means of polyacrylamide gel disk electrophoresis of serum proteins in 411 tuberculosis patients and 283 apparently healthy individuals living in the North-West and Extreme North. Regardless of their ethnic affiliation, tuberculosis patients tend to accumulate Hp 2-2, Gc 1-1 carriers and Hp 2-2 + Gc 1-1 combinations. The persons with the above types of individual proteins usually have a serious clinical picture of the disease and lower activity of the immune T-system, as confirmed by different methods of multidimensional statistical analysis. Hp 2-2, Gc 1-1 carriers and Hp 2-2 and Gc 1-1 combinations among the Extreme North's healthy aboriginal population are more widespread than among the healthy inhabitants of the North-West.

Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes of patients with unifocal paratracheal papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) after thermal ablation (TA) vs. partial thyroidectomy (PT).
Materials And Methods: This retrospective multicenter study included 436 patients with unifocal, clinical N0 paratracheal PTMC who underwent TA (210 patients) or PT (236 patients) between June 2014 and December 2020.

1,1-Difluoroallenes underwent regioselective [2 + 2] and [3 + 2] cycloadditions with aldehydes using Au(I) catalysts. An AuCl catalyst enabled an α,β-selective [2 + 2] cycloaddition of 1,1-difluoroallenes, yielding ()-3-alkylidene-2,2-difluorooxetanes. Conversely, an AuCl(IPr)-AgSbF catalyst facilitated an α,γ-selective [3 + 2] cycloaddition, followed by dehydrofluorination to produce aromatized 2-fluorofurans.

Nine metal complexes formed by three symmetric β-diketonates (, acetylacetonate (), 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-acetylacetonate (), and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptane-3,5-dionate ()) and three metal ions (with three different coordination geometries, , Be - tetrahedral, Cu - square planar, and Pb - "swing" square pyramidal) were investigated. The study combines structural analyses, vibrational spectroscopic techniques, and quantum chemical calculations with the aim of bridging crystal structure, electronic structure, molecular topology, and far-infrared (FIR) spectroscopic characteristics. The effect of intramolecular interactions on the structural, electronic, and spectroscopic features is the center of this study.

Storage proteins (SPs) are hexameric macromolecular protein, an important component of insect serum protein, which plays a variety of roles in insect metamorphosis and development. However, their regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. Our previous studies revealed that the expression of SPs is regulated by nutritional signals and identified FoxO as a negative regulator of SPs in the silkworm Bombyx mori (B.
