RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Long-term health outcomes in children and young people (CYP) after COVID-19 infection are not well understood and studies with control groups exposed to other infections are lacking. This study aimed to investigate the incidence of post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) and incomplete recovery in CYP after hospital discharge and compare outcomes between different SARS-CoV-2 variants and non-SARS-CoV-2 infections. METHODS: A prospective exposure-stratified cohort study of individuals under 18 years old in Moscow, Russia. Exposed cohorts were paediatric patients admitted with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection between April 2 and December 11, 2020 (Wuhan variant cohort) and between January 12 and February 19, 2022 (Omicron variant cohort). CYP admitted with respiratory and intestinal infections, but negative lateral flow rapid diagnostic test and PCR-test results for SARS-CoV-2, between January 12 and February 19, 2022, served as unexposed reference cohort. Comparison between the 'exposed cohorts' and 'reference cohort' was conducted using 1:1 matching by age and sex. Follow-up data were collected via telephone interviews with parents, utilising the long COVID paediatric protocol and survey developed by the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium (ISARIC). The WHO case definition was used to categorise PCC. RESULTS: Of 2595 CYP with confirmed COVID-19, 1707 (65.7%) participated in follow-up interviews, with 1183/1707 (69%) included in the final 'matched' analysis. The median follow-up time post-discharge was 6.7 months. The incidence of PCC was significantly higher in the Wuhan variant cohort (89.7 cases per 1000 person-months, 95% CI 64.3-120.3) compared to post-infection sequalae in the reference cohort (12.2 cases per 1000 person-months, 95% CI 4.9-21.9), whereas the difference with the Omicron variant cohort and reference cohort was not significant. The Wuhan cohort had higher incidence rates of dermatological, fatigue, gastrointestinal, sensory, and sleep manifestations, as well as behavioural and emotional problems than the reference cohort. The only significant difference between Omicron variant cohort and reference cohort was decreased school attendance. When comparing the Wuhan and Omicron variant cohorts, higher incidence of PCC and event rates of fatigue, decreased physical activity, and deterioration of relationships was observed. The rate of incomplete recovery was also significantly higher in the Wuhan variant cohort than in both the reference and the Omicron variant cohorts. CONCLUSIONS: Wuhan variant exhibited a propensity for inducing a broad spectrum of physical symptoms and emotional behavioural changes, suggesting a pronounced impact on long-term health outcomes. Conversely, the Omicron variant resulted in fewer post-infection effects no different from common seasonal viral illnesses. This may mean that the Omicron variant and subsequent variants might not lead to the same level of long-term health consequences as earlier variants.

Proteasome inhibitor bortezomib is an anticancer agent approved for treatment of multiple myeloma and mantle cell lymphoma. However, its application in other types of cancer, primarily in solid tumors, is limited due to poor pharmacokinetics, inefficient tissue penetration, low stability and frequent adverse effects. In the present study, a novel micellar nano-scaled delivery system was manufactured, composed of amphiphilic poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) nanoparticles loaded with bortezomib. Similar nanoparticles loaded with prothionamide, a drug without anticancer effect, were used as control. The size and zeta potential of the obtained polymeric micelles were measured by dynamic light scattering. Bortezomib-loaded micelles exhibited significant cytotoxic activity in vitro in monolayer tumor cell cultures (IC50 ~6.5 µg/ml) and in 3D multicellular tumor spheroids (IC50 ~8.5 µg/ml) of human glioblastoma cell lines U87 and T98G. Additionally, the toxic effects in vivo were studied in zebrafish Danio rerio embryos, with an estimated 50% lethal concentration of 0.1 mg/ml. Considering that bortezomib and other molecules from the class of proteasome inhibitors are potent antitumor agents, nanodelivery approach can help reduce adverse effects and expand the range of its applications for treatment of various oncological diseases.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Even though the incidence of Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in children (MIS-C) is decreasing cases are still reported across the world. Studying the consequences of MIS-C enhances our understanding of the disease's prognosis. The objective of this study was to assess short- and medium-term clinical outcomes of MIS-C. METHODS: Prospective observational cohort study at Municipal Children's Hospital Morozovskaya, Moscow, Russia. All children meeting the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), or the World Health Organization (WHO) MIS-C case definition admitted to the hospital between 17 May and 26 October 2020 were included in the study. All survivors were invited to attend a clinic at 2 and 6 weeks after hospital discharge. RESULTS: 37 children median age 6 years (interquartile range [IQR] 3.3-9.4), 59.5% (22/37) boys were included in the study. 48.6% (18/37) of patients required ICU care. One child died. All children had increased levels of systemic inflammatory markers during the acute event. Echocardiographic investigations identified abnormal findings in 35.1% (13/37) of children. 5.6% (2/36) of children were presenting with any symptoms six weeks after discharge. By six weeks the inflammatory markers were within the reference norms in all children. The echocardiographic evaluation showed persistent coronary dilatation in one child. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the severity of their acute MIS-C, the majority of children in our cohort fully recovered with none having elevated laboratory markers of inflammation at 6 weeks, few (< 10%) reporting persistent symptoms at 6 weeks, and only one with persistent echocardiographic abnormalities.

The global spread of antibiotic resistance marks the end of the era of conventional antibiotics. Mankind desires new molecular tools to fight pathogenic bacteria. In this regard, the development of new antimicrobials based on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) is again of particular interest. AMPs have various mechanisms of action on bacterial cells. Moreover, AMPs have been reported to be efficient in preclinical studies, demonstrating a low level of resistance formation. Thanatin is a small, beta-hairpin antimicrobial peptide with a bacterial-specific mode of action, predetermining its low cytotoxicity toward eukaryotic cells. This makes thanatin an exceptional candidate for new antibiotic development. Here, a microorganism was bioengineered to produce an antimicrobial agent, providing novel opportunities in antibiotic research through the directed creation of biocontrol agents. The constitutive heterologous production of recombinant thanatin (rThan) in the yeast Pichia pastoris endows the latter with antibacterial properties. Optimized expression and purification conditions enable a high production level, yielding up to 20 mg/L of rThan from the culture medium. rThan shows a wide spectrum of activity against pathogenic bacteria, similarly to its chemically synthesized analogue. The designed approach provides new avenues for AMP engineering and creating live biocontrol agents to fight antibiotic resistance.
RESUMO
The COVID-19 pandemic had a profound impact on influenza activity worldwide. However, as the pandemic progressed, influenza activity resumed. Here, we describe the influenza epidemic of high intensity of the 2022-2023 season. The epidemic had an early start and peaked in week 51.2022. The extremely high intensity of the epidemic may have been due to a significant decrease in herd immunity. The results of PCR-testing of 220,067 clinical samples revealed that the influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus dominated, causing 56.4% of positive cases, while A(H3N2) influenza subtype accounted for only 0.6%, and influenza B of Victoria lineage-for 34.3%. The influenza vaccine was found to be highly effective, with an estimated effectiveness of 92.7% in preventing admission with laboratory-confirmed influenza severe acute respiratory illness (SARI) cases and 54.7% in preventing influenza-like illness/acute respiratory illness (ILI/ARI) cases due to antigenic matching of circulated viruses with influenza vaccine strains for the season. Full genome next-generation sequencing of 1723 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses showed that all of them fell within clade 6B.1A.5.a2; nine of them possessed H275Y substitution in the NA gene, a genetic marker of oseltamivir resistance. Influenza A(H3N2) viruses belonged to subclade 3C.2a1b.2a.2 with the genetic group 2b being dominant. All 433 influenza B viruses belonged to subclade V1A.3a.2 encoding HA1 substitutions A127T, P144L, and K203R, which could be further divided into two subgroups. None of the influenza A(H3N2) and B viruses sequenced had markers of resistance to NA inhibitors. Thus, despite the continuing circulation of Omicron descendant lineages, influenza activity has resumed in full force, raising concerns about the intensity of fore coming seasonal epidemics.

Wild aquatic birds are generally identified as a natural reservoir of avian influenza viruses (AIVs), where a high diversity of subtypes has been detected. Some AIV subtypes are considered to have relatively low prevalence in wild bird populations. Six-year AIV surveillance in Siberia revealed sporadic cases of the rarely identified H14-subtype AIV circulation. Complete genome sequencing of three H14 isolates were performed, and the analysis indicated interconnections between low pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) viruses. We conducted hemagglutination inhibition and virus neutralization assays, estimated the susceptibility of isolates to neuraminidase inhibitors, and characterized receptor specificity. Our study revealed circulation of a new H14N9 subtype described for the first time. However, the low prevalence of the H14-subtype AIV population may be the reason for the underestimation of the diversity of H14-subtype AIVs. According to the available data, a region in which H14-subtype viruses were detected several times in 2007-2022 in the Eastern Hemisphere is Western Siberia, while the virus was also detected once in South Asia (Pakistan). Phylogenetic analysis of HA segment sequences revealed the circulation of two clades of H14-subtype viruses originated from initial 1980s Eurasian clade; the first was detected in Northern America and the second in Eurasia.

PURPOSE: Development of a novel quadrature inductively driven transceive wireless coil for breast MRI at 1.5 T. METHODS: A quadrature wireless coil (HHMM-coil) design has been developed as a combination of two linearly polarized coils: a pair of 'metasolenoid' coils (MM-coil) and a pair of Helmholtz-type coils (HH-coil). The MM-coil consisted of an array of split-loop resonators. The HH-coil design included two electrically connected flat spirals. All the wireless coils were coupled to a whole-body birdcage coil. The HHMM-coil was studied and compared to the linear coils in terms of transmit and SAR efficiencies via numerical simulations. A prototype of HHMM-coil was built and tested on a 1.5 T scanner in a phantom and healthy volunteer. We also proposed an extended design of the HHMM-coil and compared its performance to a dedicated breast array. RESULTS: Numerical simulations of the HHMM-coil with a female voxel model have shown more than a 2.5-fold increase in transmit efficiency and a 1.7-fold enhancement of SAR efficiency compared to the linearly polarized coils. Phantom and in vivo imaging showed good agreement with the numerical simulations. Moreover, the HHMM-coil provided good image quality, visualizing all areas of interest similar to a multichannel breast array with a 32% reduction in signal-to-noise ratio. CONCLUSION: The proposed quadrature HHMM-coil allows the B 1 + $$ {\mathrm{B}}_1^{+} $$ -field to be significantly better focused in the region-of-interest compared to the linearly polarized coils. Thus, the HHMM-coil provides high-quality breast imaging on a 1.5 T scanner using a whole-body birdcage coil for transmit and receive.

For the first time, monoterpene trifluoromethylated ß-hydroxy-benzyl-O-oximes were synthesized in 81-95% yields by nucleophilic addition of the Ruppert-Prakash reagent (TMSCF3) to the corresponding ß-keto-benzyl-O-oximes based on (+)-nopinone, (-)-verbanone and (+)-camphoroquinone. Trifluoromethylation has been determined to entirely proceed chemo- and stereoselective at the C=O rather than C=N bond. Trifluoromethylated benzyl-O-oximes were reduced to the corresponding α-trifluoromethyl-ß-amino alcohols in 82-88% yields. The structure and configuration of the compounds obtained have been established.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies assessing the prevalence of COVID-19 sequelae in adults and children were performed in the absence of an agreed definition. We investigated prevalence of post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) (WHO definition), at 6- and 12-months follow-up, amongst previously hospitalised adults and children and assessed risk factors. METHODS: Prospective cohort study of children and adults with confirmed COVID-19 in Moscow, hospitalised between April and August, 2020. Two follow-up telephone interviews, using the International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infection Consortium survey, were performed at 6 and 12 months after discharge. RESULTS: One thousand thirteen of 2509 (40%) of adults and 360 of 849 (42%) of children discharged participated in both the 6- and 12-month follow-ups. PCC prevalence was 50% (95% CI 47-53) in adults and 20% (95% CI 16-24) in children at 6 months, with decline to 34% (95% CI 31-37) and 11% (95% CI 8-14), respectively, at 12 months. In adults, female sex was associated with PCC at 6- and 12-month follow-up (OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.57 to 2.65) and (OR 2.04, 1.54 to 2.69), respectively. Pre-existing hypertension (OR 1.42, 1.04 to 1.94) was associated with post-COVID-19 condition at 12 months. In children, neurological comorbidities were associated with PCC both at 6 months (OR 4.38, 1.36 to 15.67) and 12 months (OR 8.96, 2.55 to 34.82) while allergic respiratory diseases were associated at 12 months (OR 2.66, 1.04 to 6.47). CONCLUSIONS: Although prevalence of PCC declined one year after discharge, one in three adults and one in ten children experienced ongoing sequelae. In adults, females and persons with pre-existing hypertension, and in children, persons with neurological comorbidities or allergic respiratory diseases are at higher risk of PCC.

Direct thionation of quinolizidine alkaloids (-)-cytisine, methylcytisine, thermopsine and some of their carbonyl derivatives was realized. It was established that carrying out of the reaction in the boiling toluene with 0.5 eq. of Lawesson's reagent (LR) is most effective for synthesis of thio analogues of methyl-, allyl-, benzylcytisine and thermopsine. It was found, that formation of thioamides is preferable in the case with starting 3-carboxamides of (-)-cytisine or 2-oxo and 4-oxo derivatives of methylcytisine; and an excess of LR is needed for their exhaustive thionation. It was shown, that thionation of 'cytisine substituted' urea and thiourea, as well as Diels-Alder adducts of methylcitisine with phenylmaleimide on basis of this approach was not quite successful: only thionation of the 2-pyridone core has occurred. It should be noted that transformation of urea and thiourea is complicated by side reactions leading to low yields of thio products, and the result of LR interaction with mentioned above diastereomeric Diels-Alder adducts depends on their stereochemistry and thermodynamic stability under reaction conditions.

Pigs have long been recognized as "mixing vessels" in which new viruses are formed by reassortment involving various influenza virus lineages (avian, animal, human). However, surveillance of swine influenza viruses only gained real significance after the 2009 pandemic. A fundamentally important point is the fact that there is still no regular surveillance of swine flu in Russia, and the role of swine viruses is underestimated since, as a rule, they do not cause serious disease in animals. Since the pig population in Russia is large, it is obvious that the lack of monitoring and insufficient study of swine influenza evolution constitutes a gap in animal influenza surveillance, not only for Russia, but globally. A 6 year joint effort enabled identification of SIV subtypes that circulate in the pig population of Russia's European geographic region. The swine influenza viruses isolated were antigenically and genetically diverse. Some were similar to human influenza viruses of A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H3N2) subtype, while others were reassortant A(H1pdm09N2) and A(H1avN2) and were antigenically distinct from human H1N1 and H1N1pdm09 strains. Analysis of swine serum samples collected throughout the seasons showed that the number of sera positive for influenza viruses has increased in recent years. This indicates that swine populations are highly susceptible to infection with human influenza viruses. It also stresses the need for regular SIV surveillance, monitoring of viral evolution, and strengthening of pandemic preparedness.
RESUMO
Novel derivatives of quinolizidine alkaloid (-)-cytisine were synthesised. ADME properties, cytotoxicity against HEK293 cells and activity against viruses of influenza A/California/07/09(H1N1)pdm09 virus (IAV) and human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3) were evaluated. It was shown, that 9-carboxamides of methylcytisine (with phenyl and allyl urea's fragments) are most active compounds against IAV probably due to predicted in silico peculiarity of their interactions with the 4R7B active site of IAV neuraminidase. Indexes of selectivity (SI) calculated as ratio of CC50/IC50 of these ureas are 47 and 59 correspondingly. It was also found, that derivatives obtained from allyl isocyanate and (-)-cytisine or 9,11-dibromocytisine are able to inhibit a reproduction of HPIV3 with SI = 58 and 95. Moreover, last compound - (1 R,5R)-N-allyl-9,11-dibromo-8-oxo-1,5,6,8-tetrahydro-2H-1,5-methanopyrido[1,2-a][1,5]diazocine-3(4H)-carboxamide with two bromine atom in 2-pyridone core of starting (-)-cytisine molecule, demonstrated high activity against HPIV3 (SI = 95) and moderate activity against IAV (SI = 16).

Novel derivatives of 4-oxo-3-methylcytisine with phenyl moiety bonded to starting molecule through various spacers were obtained from the 9-amino, -halo, -formyl and 11-halo precursors by reductive alkylation of amines, generation of amide, as well as thio- and carboxamide functions, cross-coupling reactions, aldehyde condensation and reduction of unsaturated 'C-C' bonds. Ability of synthesized compounds to influence the learning and memory was preliminary assessed in conditioned passive avoidance reflex (CPAR) test in rats. It was shown, that derivatives with phenyl group at 11 carbon atom influence the learning and memory in CPAR test more effectively than other compounds. The hit-compound (3-methyl-11-(2-phenylvinyl)-3,5,6-trihydro-2H-1,5-methanopyrido[1,2-a][1,5]diazocine-4,8(1H)-dione) with the best values of 'latency' and 'time spent in the dark compartment' has been identified as a perspective scaffold for synthesis of novel derivatives of (-)-cytisine with potential neuropharmacological activity.

The first direct synthesis of 3-N-methyl-9-formylcytisine via electrophylic formylation is described. It is established, that Vilsmeier-Haack and Gatterman variants of this reaction are unsuccessful in the case with 3-substituted (-)-cytisine derivatives, but Duff procedure (with hexamethylenetetramine in trifluoroacetic acid) gives a possibility to obtain the target pseudo aromatic aldehyde with the 69% yield. Convenient precursors for [4 + 2]- or [3 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions are obtained by means of condensation of synthesized 3-N-methyl-9-formylcytisine with acetone, nitromethane and phosphorous ylides with yields from 70 to 87%. Alternative aprroach to alkenyl products and to 9-alkynyl-3-methylcytisine is realized using the Heck and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions of methyl vinyl ketone, cyclohexenone or trimethylsilylacetylene with 9-bromo-3-methylcytisine (55, 70 and 60% accordingly). It is shown, that interaction of 3-N-methyl-9-formylcytisine with hydroxylamines leads to corresponding nitrone (93%) and oxime (70%). All individual compounds are isolated by column chromatography and completely characterized on the basis of NMR spectroscopy data.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Neurodegenerative diseases and inflammation are always linked to each other; therefore the elaboration of new chemical compounds, which interact with pharmacological targets involved into these two processes, can become one of ways of correction of these types of human CNS pathology. In the field of this problem the anti-inflammatory activity of ten 3-amino derivatives of quinolizidine alkaloid (.)-cytisine (the data about nootropic activity of these compounds are outlined by us previously) was studied by using in vivo, in vitro and in silico approaches. METHODS: The anti-inflammatory activity of novel compounds was investigated on carrageenan- induced model of inflammation in Rat paw following an established protocol. COX-1 (ovin) and COX-2 (human recombinant) inhibition activities of tested compounds assessed using a COX Fluorescent Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit. And as part of an in silico screening the leading compounds were docked into the tyrosine sites of COX-1/COX-2 enzymes (PDB code: 1DIY and 1CVU). RESULTS: It was established that ability of 3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)amino, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl) amino and 3-(3-phenylprop-2-en-1-yl)amino derivatives of 12-N-metylcytisine to inhibit the carrageenan-induced paw oedema in rats is comparable with reference drug diclofenac. The results of in vitro COX-1/COX-2 inhibition assay showed no significant activity of tested compounds, except compounds with 2-hydroxyphenyl, 3-phenylprop-2-en-1-yl, furyl and thiophenyl fragments which slightly reduce the activity of COX-2. CONCLUSION: The tendency to occurrence of anti-inflammatory properties of synthesized derivatives of quinolizidine alkaloid (-)-cytisine can be explained on the basis of molecular docking results, which assume the possibility of interaction of more potent compounds with key amino acids of COX-1/COX-2 active sites.

A dramatic increase of influenza activity in Russia since week 3 of 2016 significantly differs from previous seasons in terms of the incidence of influenza and acute respiratory infection (ARI) and in number of lethal cases. We performed antigenic analysis of 108 and whole-genome sequencing of 77 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 viruses from Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Most of the viruses were antigenically related to the vaccine strain. Whole-genome analysis revealed a composition of specific mutations in the internal genes (D2E and M83I in NEP, E125D in NS1, M105T in NP, Q208K in M1, and N204S in PA-X) that probably emerged before the beginning of 2015/2016 epidemic season.

We report on the MARS2013 mission, a 4-week Mars analog field test in the northern Sahara. Nineteen experiments were conducted by a field crew in Morocco under simulated martian surface exploration conditions, supervised by a Mission Support Center in Innsbruck, Austria. A Remote Science Support team analyzed field data in near real time, providing planning input for the management of a complex system of field assets; two advanced space suit simulators, four robotic vehicles, an emergency shelter, and a stationary sensor platform in a realistic work flow were coordinated by a Flight Control Team. A dedicated flight planning group, external control centers for rover tele-operations, and a biomedical monitoring team supported the field operations. A 10 min satellite communication delay and other limitations pertinent to human planetary surface activities were introduced. The fields of research for the experiments were geology, human factors, astrobiology, robotics, tele-science, exploration, and operations research. This paper provides an overview of the geological context and environmental conditions of the test site and the mission architecture, in particular the communication infrastructure emulating the signal travel time between Earth and Mars. We report on the operational work flows and the experiments conducted, including a deployable shelter prototype for multiple-day extravehicular activities and contingency situations.
