Extracellular matrix (ECM) from decellularized mammalian tissues has been used in many therapeutic applications. The tissue-specific composition of the ECM is critically associated with therapeutic performance. However, ECM translation needs to be improved because of the complex composition and limited understanding of ECM repairing mechanisms due partly to incomplete proteomic interrogation of ECM samples.

Objective: Aim: To study the peculiarities of food tolerance disorders in premature infants, taking into account the risk factors of gestational age and maternal labor, the peculiarities of the course of perinatal pathology, in order to determine pathogenetically sound clinical and laboratory criteria.

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: A comprehensive clinical and laboratory evaluation was performed on 67 preterm infants of gestational age 32 to 33/6 weeks with severe food tolerance disorders in perinatal pathology. The comparison group consisted of 31 newborns with gestational age of 34 to 37 weeks.

Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) is defined as a reduction in pancreatic exocrine secretion below the level that allows the normal digestion of nutrients. Pancreatic disease and surgery are the main causes of PEI. However, other conditions and upper gastrointestinal surgery can also affect the digestive function of the pancreas.

Background: The serine protease like (Spl) proteases of are a family of six proteases whose function and impact on virulence are poorly understood. Here we propose alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT), an important immunomodulatory serine protease inhibitor as target of SplD, E and F. AAT is an acute phase protein, interacting with many proteases and crucial for prevention of excess tissue damage by neutrophil elastase during the innate immune response to infections.
