Objective: to explore possible transgeneration effects in the rats offspring of the first generation of parents subject ed to the combined effects of N stearoylethanolamine (NSE) and external exposure.Materials and metods. In the first generation rats of both sexes born to parents who have experienced the combined influence of ionizing radiation at a dose of 2.0 Gy and NSE a daily dose of 50.0 mg/kg, administered before or after exposure indicators of pro and antioxidant systems (the concentration of TBA reactive products, catalase and glu tathione peroxidase activity in plasma) were defined, concentrations of sex hormones testosterone and estradiol and nitrite anion were studied.
Results: Irradiation of parents caused a three fold reduction of testosterone in the blood plasma of males progeny, increased activity of catalase in plasma of female offsprings, as well as significantly increased the concentration of protein in the offsprings' blood plasma of both sexes. Introduction of NSE to parents before exposure caused the acti vation of lipid peroxidation in plasma of both sexes offsprings' against the background of a trustworthy decrease in activity of antioxidant enzymes (catalase and glutathione peroxidase), however, prevented a sharp reduction of testosterone content in the blood plasma of males offsprings, conditioned by the influence of radiation on the body of their parents. NSE introduction to parents after exposure caused no significant violations of pro/ antioxidant bal ance in the body of both sexes progeny, but did not eliminate the negative impact of parental exposure to testos terone levels in male offsprings.
Conclusion: The transgeneration impact of NSE is manifested by radio sensitizing properties in the first generation offsprings in case of application to parents before irradiation.

Background: The usefulness of circulating free DNA (cfDNA), nuclear DNA (nDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) as potential biomarkers in cancer remains controversial.
Objective: To determine the concentration of cfDNA and plasma nDNA and mtDNA levels in breast cancer (BC) patients.
Material And Methods: This study included a total of 86 women (69 patients with BC and 17 women as a control group).

Hydrophobic payloads incorporated into antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) typically are superior to hydrophilic ones in tumor penetration and "bystander killing" upon release from ADCs. However, they are prone to aggregation and accelerated plasma clearance, which lead to reduced efficacies and increased toxicities of ADC molecules. Shielding the hydrophobicity of payloads by incorporating polyethylene glycol (PEG) elements or sugar groups into the ADC linkers has emerged as a viable alternative to directly adopting hydrophilic payloads.

Background: The association of maternal hyperglycemia with childhood developmental delay has been examined; however, only 2 studies used maternal blood glucose level as a continuous variable as an exposure. A present study aimed to investigate the influence of maternal fasting plasma glucose (mFPG) level in early gestation on developmental delay in children.
Methods: This cohort study included 1541 mother-child pairs who participated in the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study.

High concentrations of neutrophil degranulation products in the plasma and thrombi are poor prognostic indicators in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study aimed to identify candidate effectors capable of mediating neutrophil degranulation post-AIS, and to reveal their underlying epigenetic mechanisms. Microarrays and ChIP-seq were applied to analyze the neutrophils of patients with AIS.
