Soluble and membrane-bound neurospecific Con A-binding glycoproteins from human brain and tumours were identified and characterized, using a procedure which included stepwise extraction with low and high ionic strength buffers, buffered. Triton X-100 and sodium deoxycholate followed by ConA-Sepharose column chromatography, SDS-PAAG electrophoresis and immunoblotting. Adsorbed antisera against different types of neurospecific glycoproteins were used. The bulk of neurospecific glycoproteins (11 and 13) were revealed in protein fractions extracted with low ionic strength buffers and Triton X-100. In astrocytomas and glyoblastomas, some neurospecific glycoproteins were absent. Some glycoproteins were found in tumours, but were absent in brain tissue. Soluble, 77 kD glycoprotein, 11 and 16 kD glycoproteins solubilized with high ionic strength buffers and intrinsic membrane-bound 51, 57, 61, 74 and 77 kD glycoproteins can be viewed as stable neurospecific markers in malignant brain tumours.

This paper compares the efficacy and adverse effects of iodine-125 ( 125 I) seed implantation and external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) in the treatment of lung cancer as well as impact of the 125 I radiation on the environment around the patients. A total of 40 patients who were admitted with lung cancer to our hospital from October 2017 to October 2018 were enrolled into this study. The patients were randomly assigned into study groups treated with 125 I seed implantation (20 patients) and a control group treated with EBRT (20 patients).

Zika virus (ZIKV), a flavivirus associated with neurological disorders, constitutes a global health threat. During pregnancy, ZIKV traverses the placenta and causes congenital disease such as microcephaly and Guillain-Barré syndrome in newborns. To develop a specific antiviral therapy against ZIKV-induced microcephaly that could cross placental and blood-brain barriers, we designed targeted small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) encapsulating antiviral siRNA (small interfering RNA) to inhibit ZIKV.

Aim: To search for the immunological features of depressions in elderly patients, select certain immunophenotypes and analyze their possible connection with clinical and psychopathological features of depression of old age.
Material And Methods: The study included 55 inpatients of old age (median 68 years) with a depressive episode of mild or moderate severity. The control group consisted of 41 elderly people (median 67 years) without depressive disorders.
autism mutation targeting giant ankyrin-B promotes axon branching and ectopic connectivity.

Giant ankyrin-B (ankB) is a neurospecific alternatively spliced variant of , a high-confidence autism spectrum disorder (ASD) gene. We report that a mouse model for human ASD mutation of giant ankB exhibits increased axonal branching in cultured neurons with ectopic CNS axon connectivity, as well as with a transient increase in excitatory synapses during postnatal development. We elucidate a mechanism normally limiting axon branching, whereby giant ankB localizes to periodic axonal plasma membrane domains through L1 cell-adhesion molecule protein, where it couples microtubules to the plasma membrane and prevents microtubule entry into nascent axon branches.

Aim: To identify inflammatory and autoimmune markers (enzymatic activity of leukocyte elastase (LE), functional α1-proteinase inhibitor (α1-PI), the level of autoantibodies to neurospecific antigens S100b and myelin basic protein (MBP)) as well as phagocytic activity of blood neutrophils of patients with disorders of adaptation, to determine certain immunophenotypes and analyze their possible relationships with disease characteristics.
Material And Methods: The study included 40 patients with adaptation disorders, mostly women. Diagnostic evaluation and clinical qualification of patients was carried out in accordance with ICD-10: 'Adjustment disorder' (F43.
