RESUMO
Acute nociceptive pain in mice caused by subcutaneous (intraplantar) injection of TRPV1 ion channel agonist capsaicin (1.6 µg/mouse) and the effects of protein kinase A inhibitor H-89 (0.05 mg/mouse, intraplantar injection) and NMDA receptor channel antagonists MK-801 (7.5 and 15 µg/mouse, topical application) and hemantane (0.5 mg/mouse, topical application) on the pain were assessed. MK-801 and hemantane were found to reduce the duration of the pain response. H-89 did not significantly affect the pain in animals, but preliminary administration of this drug abolished the antinociceptive effect of MK-801 (7.5 µg/mouse) and weakens the effect of hemantane (0.5 mg/mouse).

Ceria and ceria-zirconia nanomaterials of different origin were studied in order to elucidate the role of their structural and textural characteristics in controlling the performance towards CO2 capture. Two commercial cerias and two home-prepared samples, CeO2 and CeO2-ZrO2 (75% CeO2) mixed oxide, were investigated. The samples were characterized by a number of analytical techniques including XRD, TEM, N2-adsorption, XPS, H2-TPR, Raman and FTIR spectroscopy. Static and dynamic CO2 adsorption experiments were applied to assess the CO2 capture performance. The type of surface species formed and their thermal stability were evaluated by in situ FTIR spectroscopy and CO2-TPD analysis. The two commercial ceria samples possessed similar structural and textural characteristics, formed the same types of carbonate-like surface species upon CO2 adsorption and, consequently, demonstrated almost identical CO2 capture performance under both static and dynamic conditions. The thermal stability of the adsorbed species increased in the order bidentate (B) carbonates, hydrogen carbonates (HC) and tridentate carbonates (T-III, T-II, T-I). Reduction of CeO2 increased the relative amount of the most strongly bonded T-I tridentate carbonates. Preadsorbed water led to hydroxylation and enhanced formation of hydrogen carbonates. Although the synthesized CeO2 sample had a higher surface area (by 30%) it showed a disadvantageous long mass transfer zone in the CO2-adsorption breakthrough curves. Because of its complex pore structure, this sample probably experiences severe intraparticle CO2 diffusion resistance. Having the same surface area as the synthesized CeO2, the mixed CeO2-ZrO2 oxide exhibited the highest CO2 capture capacity of 136 µmol g-1 under dynamic conditions. This was related to the highest concentration of CO2 adsorption sites (including defects) on this sample. The CeO2-ZrO2 system showed the lowest sensitivity to the presence of water vapor in the gas stream due to the lack of dissociative water adsorption on this material.
RESUMO
Caucasus is known as one of the few biodiversity hotspots in Europe and is characterised by rich gastropod fauna while the nematode fauna in association with gastropods has remained largely understudied. Surveys conducted in 2019 and 2021 in the North Caucasus of the Russian Federation (Stavropol Upland and western and central parts of Krasnodar Krai) has revealed the presence of three new species of Pellioditis, a facultative parasite of land gastropods, and two species of obligate parasites, the intestinal parasite Angiostoma kimmeriense and a new, still undescribed species of a larval ectoparasite Alloionema sp. The new associations of Cruznema sp. and Rhabditophanes sp. with land gastropods were recorded for the first time in the Russian Federation. The new species of Pellioditis Dougherty, 1953 described here is based on the analysis of morphology and molecular studies of two distant and morphologically distinct strains, thermalis and sindicae. Pellioditis thermalis n. sp. was characterised by females possessing a tail of about 95-100 µm long, broadly conical in shape in the thermalis and sindicae strains, with a rounded anterior part and a subulate terminal part as long as the former; prominent phasmids located at the mid-tail, equatorial vulva position, a lateral field of three ridges (four incisions), males with spicules featuring a hole at the distal tip, ensheathed infective juveniles with average length 717 µm in the thermals strain and 771 µm in the sindicae strain, and exsheathed ones 644 µm and 682 µm, respectively. ITS-based phylogenetic analyses revealed that all Pellioditis species found in Ciscaucasia and Transcaucasia probably belong to two separate clades, with independent evolutionary histories of colonisation of this area. The entire Caucasus range area appears to serve as a biodiversity hotspot for the genus Pellioditis, presumably due to its complicated geological history and repeated isolation events for its terrestrial mollusc hosts.

Immunotherapy in oncologic diseases involves the use of drugs which stimulate the immune system and indirectly suppress tumor cells growth. These agents have expanded the treatment options for cancer patients. Despite the impressive success achieved in the development of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and subsequent approval in a broader spectrum of malignant tumors, most patients are not responded the therapy. Currently available predictive markers of efficacy are nonspecific. However, microRNAs are of particular interest, which regulate gene expression and are involved in the carcinogenesis and therapy resistance. Therefore, it is clear that for the most efficient and cost-effective use of ICIs, it is important to have validated biomarkers that will accurately predict the therapeutic response. The published results on molecular genetic changes in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) were analyzed and summarized in order to determine possible prognostic biomarkers when prescribing ICI therapy.

THE AIM OF THE STUDY: Was to compare body mass indices (BMI) of children receiving and not receiving dental caries prevention program in preschool institutions at the age of 3-6 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study comprised163 children (76 boys and 87 girls) initially examined at the age of 3 years in nurseries of the Khimki city region. In one of the nurseries 54 children received dental caries prevention and educational program for 3 years. Other 109 children not receiving any special programs served as controls. Data on caries prevalence and intensity as well as weight and height were collected at baseline examination and 3 years after. BMI was calculated by standard formula and WHO criteria for weight deficiency, normal weight, overweight and obesity for children aged 2-5 and 6-17 years were applied. RESULTS: Caries prevalence in 3-years-old was 34.1% with dmft median of 1.4 teeth. After 3 years the prevalence of dental caries reached 72.5% in controls and was almost twice as low in the main group (39.3%). Caries intensity growth was also significantly higher in controls (p<0.0001). There was statistically significant difference on the rate of underweight and normal weight in children receiving and not receiving dental caries preventive program (p<0.05). The rate of normal and low BMI in the main group was 82.6% (vs. 66% in controls) and 7.7% (vs. 22%), correspondingly. The higher the caries intensity the more is the risk for being underweight (11.5% in caries-free children vs 25.7% in having DMFT+dft more than 4, p=0.034). CONCLUSION: Our study showed positive impact of dental caries prevention program on the anthropometric measurements of children aged 3-6 years which increases the significance of this type of programs in pre-school institutions.

OBJECTIVE: Improving the effectiveness of the treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis by photodynamic therapy (PDT) due to clinical and functional validation of the effects of a photosensitizer. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A clinical and functional study and treatment of moderate chronic generalized periodontitis was carried out in 60 people (24 males and 36 females) aged 35 to 50 years without somatic pathology with orthognathic bite. The patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the type of treatment: group 1 (main) included 30 patients (17 males and 13 females, mean age of patients was 42.5±3.3 years) who received comprehensive treatment consisting of oral sanitation, removal of dental plaque and curettage of periodontal pockets followed by PDT with 1% Geleophor gel using an AFS Spektr LED emitter with a wavelength of 660 nm and a power of 2.5 W, the course consisted of 4 procedures with exposure time of 7 minutes each; group 2 (control) included 30 patients (11 males and 19 females, mean age of patients was 43.0±2.1 years) undergoing standard treatment followed by protective capping with no active therapeutic agent. The state of microcirculation in tissues was studied by the laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) using the LAKK-M device (Lazma, Russia). RESULTS: According to LDF data in both groups, it was found that the improvement of microcirculation in periodontal tissues after complex treatment is accompanied by an increase in blood flow and its activity, at that the level of oxygenation and specific oxygen consumption increased more pronounced after PDT, the effect persisted after 6 and 12 months. CONCLUSION: The use of PDT with LED emitter has a normalizing effect on the state of microcirculation and oxygenation in periodontal tissues.

Prostate cancer is a clinically heterogeneous disease, and accurate risk stratification of patients is becoming a key clinical task. This is the most common malignant neoplasm and the leading cause of cancer death in men worldwide. Genomic markers include tools and technologies that can predict the probability of an initial positive biopsy, reduce the number of unnecessary repeated biopsies, identify tumors with low, medium and high risk, classify the degree of disease, as well as predict and monitor the clinical response to intervention. Variants of the PTEN gene are of great interest as genetic markers of the risk of developing prostate malignancies.

Dietary pattern usually changes with age; however, certain dietary habits may remain constant. The goal of this study was to analyze dynamic changes in the dietary pattern of males from adolescence to adulthood during a 28-year prospective follow-up. Material and methods. Initially, a representative population sample of 1,005 boys aged 11 to 12 years (mean age 11.9±0.1 years) was examined. Four visits were performed at the ages of 15, 17, 22 and 43. Assessment of actual dietary pattern was carried out by the 24-hour dietary recall method. Results. It was discovered that dietary pattern was changing with age as follows: proportions (Δ%) of meats [M (95% confidence interval)] 2.4 (-0.5-5.3), fish and seafood 1.5 (0.4-2.7), eggs 0.8 (0.1-1.5), and vegetable oils 0.3 (0.1-0.5) were increasing with age, whereas the proportions of animal fats -1.0 [-1.4 -0.6], bread and bakery -2.8 [-5.5 -0.1], sweets and confectionery -2.6 [-4.8 -0.5] were decreasing. We also observed a trend of increased consumption of fruits and fruit juices [Δ=4.9 (1.5-8.4)%]. The magnitudes of the tracking coefficients (correlation coefficients) between the initial (at the age of 15 years) values of the contributions of the main food groups to the total weight of the daily diet and their values at subsequent stages of prospective study showed that eating habits, as a certain dietary pattern, are relatively stable only in adolescence. Conclusion. Over 28 years of prospective observation of males, from adolescence to adulthood, their eating patterns underwent significant changes, which must be taken into account when developing preventive measures aimed at correcting unhealthy dietary patterns in children and adolescents, and at transition to a balanced diet.

The main manifestations of metabolic syndrome (MS) are disorders of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and their hormonal regulation. The combined nature of metabolic disorders can significantly affect the course and prognosis of CHF in elderly people with metabolic syndrome. To determine the features of the combined effect of metabolic laboratory parameters and biological active factors of adipose tissue in patients with CHF and metabolic syndrome on the course of the disease. A comparison was made between a group of patients with CHF complicated by MS(n=37) and a group of patients with CHF without MS (n=37). The parameters of lipid metabolism (cholesterol CH and lipoproteins LP), the lipid transport system (ApoA1 and ApoB), leptin, adiponectin and resistin and their mutual relations were studied. The ratio of ApoB/ApoAI levels was indicative, which was 0.80±0.32 in patients with CHF without MS, and 1.12±0.46 in patients with CHF with MS (p <0.05). A significant correlation was found between the ratio of ApoB/ApoA1 levels and abdominal obesity (r=0.42, p<0.05), functional class of CHF (r=0.463, p<0.05), LDL-C level (r=0.518, p<0.05), and triglycerides (r=0.476, p<0.05). Also, significant results were obtained for the leptin/adiponectin ratio. For this ratio, 4 ranks were derived depending on the value of the leptin (ng/ml)/adiponectin (mcg/ml) ratio: less than 1 - rank 0 was assigned, with values of the ratio in the range 1 - 3 - rank 1, in the range 3.1 - 6 - rank 2, and above the value 6 - rank 3. Of the 22 patients who had improved CHF at the end of hospitalization, all at the beginning of hospitalization had a rank 0 or 1 ApoB/ApoA1 ratio. Thus, ranking the values of the ratio of ApoB/ApoA1 levels, and especially leptin/adiponectin, can suggest the probability of successful treatment of CHF or the probability of deterioration of the patient's condition, up to a fatal outcome.

Analysis of the study is to assess the diagnostic significance of cytokines in the sperm plasma of men of reproductive age (20 - 45 years) of two groups: of patients with chronic bacterial prostatitis, not complicated by infertility and with loss of fertility. The study of sperm plasma - the WHO standard. Determination of the level of cytokines in seminal plasma - by enzyme immunoassay («Cytokine¼, Russia). Two methods of mathematical statistics were used: discriminant analysis and classification trees (decision trees).The similarity of interpretations of discriminant analysis and decision tree was noted, where the main role in both cases belongs to the cytokine IL-4. The level of sperm IL-4 in combination with therapeutic monitoring can be used for the medical management of patients with chronic prostatitis in order to prevent the development of infertility and to develop methods for screening diagnostics of fertility disorders in men.

The aim of the study is to develop a method for early diagnosis of intrauterine infection (IUI). A study of markers of inflammation in the venous blood of 60 pregnant women was conducted. The study was followed by a retrospective assessment of the outcomes of pregnancies and childbirth. Of these, 33 patients with a gestation period of more than 37 weeks (full-term pregnancy) and, accordingly, 27 patients from whom the blood sample was taken at a period of less than 37 weeks - patients with the threat of premature birth (PB). PB is the main factor contributing to the development of IUI. 27 patients were diagnosed with premature rupture of the membranes (PROM). Of these, 15 are with the threat of PB. 8 of them had a diagnosed IUI. In all cases of diagnosed PROM, including those with IUI, the concentration of nitrite and nontiolate nitroso compounds (NO2-+RNO) in the mother's blood plasma was 2.3±1.2 µM, while normally it does not exceed 0.1 µM (p<0.001). Regardless of the duration of pregnancy. The use of antibiotics in the case of PROM contributed to the normalization of the concentration (NO2-+RNO). Therefore, increasing of this indicator is result of bacterial infection. Indications of other markers of inflammation: the number of leukocytes in venous blood and in a smear of vaginal contents, the level of C-RB did not significantly change in both PROM and IUI (p>0.1). Since the concentration index (NO2-+RNO) increased in almost all cases of PREM, unlike all other clinical and biochemical indicators used in modern medicine, there is an obvious sense of its use for the current monitoring of the health of pregnant women. But it is still impossible to say unequivocally about the possibility of monitoring the fetal health by concentration (NO2-+RNO) in the mother's blood.

Based on the clinical and microbiological monitoring of two groups of children aged 3 to 17 years with acute (n=78) and chronic (n=46) course of reactive arthritis (ReA), a method for early diagnosis of chronic arthritis was developed by determining the number of antibiotic-resistant coprostrains in patients with ReA, characterized by the absence of the need to isolate a pure culture of the pathogen and its identification; inoculation of faeces at a dilution of 10-5 on solid 1.5% GRM-agar with an antibacterial agents used in the treatment of a particular patient, at a minimum inhibitory concentration in the resistance range, followed by incubation and counting of the colonies of microorganisms grown on the plate. A significant relationship between the number of antibiotic-resistant gut bacterial strains and the course of arthritis (acute, chronic) was revealed, and the borderline value of the number of antibiotic-resistant gut bacterial strains was determined - 5×103 CFU/g, which allows differentiating the acute course from the chronic one: in the acute course< 5×103 CFU/g, with chronic - ≥ 5×103 CFU/g. The method allows, at the stage of completion of anti-inflammatory therapy in the active phase of the disease, to identify a risk group for the development of a chronic course of arthritis among patients with ReA, which can contribute to timely therapeutic measures aimed at preventing recurrence of the disease and making the patient disabled.

BACKGROUND: Renal cell carcinoma is the most common form of kidney cancer in adults. DNA methylation of regulatory sequences at the genomic level and interaction between microRNAs and the messenger RNAs of target genes at the posttranscriptional level contribute to the dynamic regulation of gene activity. Aberrations in these mechanisms can result in impaired functioning of cell signaling pathways, such as that observed in malignant tumors. We hypothesized that microRNA genes methylation may be associated with renal cancer in patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: We examined methylation levels of 22 microRNA genes in tumor and normal kidney tissue of 30 patients with TNM Stage III clear cell renal cell carcinoma using a pathway-specific real-time polymerase chain reaction array (EpiTect Methyl II PCR Arrays, Qiagen). MicroRNA expression analysis by quantitative polymerase chain reaction was also performed. Significant differences in methylation levels were found in two genes and in two clusters of microRNA genes. MicroRNA-23b/-24-1/-27b, microRNA -30c-1/-30e and let-7 g was hypermetylated in clear cell renal cell carcinoma tissue, microRNA -301a was hypomethylated in tumor compared with the adjacent normal tissues. Expression of microRNA-301a, microRNA-23b in the clear cell renal cell carcinoma tissues was significantly overexpressed when compared with the adjacent normal tissues and let-7 g was significantly downregulated in tumor. CONCLUSIONS: Our results may indicate the contribution of microRNA-301a, microRNA-23b and let-7 g in the pathogenesis of renal cancer, but further studies are needed to determine the functional significance of the detected changes.

For the first time in the Russian Federation, a study was conducted to determine the level of mercury in the hair of young and middle-aged women with or without metabolic syndrome (MS) and the Association of mercury content in hair with cardiometabolic risk factors. The studied cohort consisted of 387 women (204 with metabolic syndrome and 183 without metabolic syndrome as controls). The mercury content in the hair was determined by atomic absorption pyrolysis. The relationship between mercury in hair and cardiometabolic risk factors was evaluated using linear regression. Calculation of the odds ratio (OR) of the risk of metabolic syndrome among quartiles of mercury content in the hair was performed by multiple logistic regression. Hg concentrations in hair were higher in women with metabolic syndrome than without metabolic syndrome (Mean - 520; median - 360; versus Mean - 330; median - 260 µg/kg, P < 0.001). There is an increased risk of developing cardiometabolic syndrome in women, whose hair contain over 544 µg/kg of mercury. The results of this study indicate that the intake of Hg in the human body can be one of the factors that can increase the development of cardiometabolic risk.

The authors report a rare case of combination of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma Grade 2 pT2aN0 with multiple hepatocellular adenomas in a 31-year-old bodybuilder who received anabolic androgenic steroids at high doses for 8 years. According to MRI data, over 15 liver adenomas and tumor in the lower segment of the right kidney were detected. The patients underwent laparascopic resection of the right kidney and liver segments 2, 3 and 4 with large adenomas. Histological study and immunohistochemistry revealed no malignancy signs in hepatocellular adenomas. Nuclear ß-catenin expression was absent. Kidney tumor had a structure of chromophobe renal cell carcinoma. The patient is currently being followed-up due to residual small liver adenomas. In our opinion, liver adenomatosis and renal cancer have the same cause in this case (chronic toxic effect of androgens).

THE AIM OF THE STUDY: Was to reveal possible correlation between child's birth weight, BMI at examination, dental caries prevalence and intensity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study comprised 220 healthy children aged 3-6 born mature and attending nursery schools in Khimky city (Moscow region, Russia). Data on birth weight were extracted from a healthcare reports database, current height and weight were measured and BMI was calculated and interpreted according to WHO criteria. Calibrated pediatric dentists performed oral examination registering the dmft index. RESULTS: Children suffering from dental caries at the age of 3-6, have lower birth weight and struggle to put it on later in life. This results in higher proportion of children with underweight. Among children with caries 69.2% had BMI lower than 15th percentile, and 28.3% had very low IMT (lower than 5th percentile) vs 5.6% in the group without caries (p<0.05). The mechanisms and the direction of this correlation are unclear. CONCLUSION: There is a necessity for further investigations on the role of various factors associated with body weight and alimentary status in the development of the early childhood caries.

THE AIM OF THE STUDY: Was to assess the prevalence, intensity, and treatment efficacy of dental caries in children aged 3 to 6 years residents of the town of Khimki, Moscow region. The number of decayed, filled, and missed due to caries teeth was registered. The parents were interviewed in order to reveal dental caries treatment experience as well as reasons for negative experience, age of the first dental office visit and the reasons for it. RESULTS: The incidence of dental caries in 3-6 years old living in Khimki is 52%. The prevalence and incidence unsurprisingly grow with age as well as the number of children having the experience of toothache and early extractions. The vast majority of children including these with positive dental treatment experience have untreated carious lesions. The difference of decayed teeth between children having negative and positive treatment experience in statistically insignificant (p=0.57), and the number of filling is equally small in both subgroups (p=0.99). This means even cooperative children who underwent dental treatment have untreated (or previously treated but having no fillings - in 22.6% of treatment cases) cavities. CONCLUSION: The dental caries intensity growth outpaces the possibilities of the Khimky dental service resulting in the low number of caries-free previously treated children (17.9% of all treated). All this dictates the necessity for dental caries prevention programs and implementation of new models for dental care organization in preschool children.

THE AIM OF THE STUDY: Was to assess changes in the oral microbiota when using octenidine dihydrochloride mouthwash. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Quantitative and qualitative changes in the oral microbiota were studied and evaluated after a single rinse, course application and long-term dates. RESULTS: A single rinse resulted in a significant decrease in the number of pathogenic microorganisms: S. aureus, C. albicans, and Enterobacteriae. After a seven-day course of mouthwash application, the complete disappearance of pathogenic microorganisms: S. aureus, S. albicans, and Enterobacteriae and an increase in the number of Lactobacillus spp were revealed. 7 days after the mouthwash was canceled, there was some recovery of pathogenic (S. aureus, Candida), the number of Lactobacillus spp. remained the same, normal microflora almost completely restored. CONCLUSION: Octenidine dihydrochloride mouthwash may be recommended for wide use in dental practice in the treatment of various oral pathological conditions, including candidiasis and dysbiosis.

The effects of 5-hydroxypyrimidine derivatives SNK-411 (2-isobutyl-4,6-dimethyl-5-hydroxypyrimidine) and SNK-578 (2-isobutyl-4,6-dimethyl-5-hydroxypyrimidine chlorohydrate) on the tumor growth and survival of male C57BL/6 mice with transplanted Lewis lung epidermoid carcinoma (LLC) were studied in animals receiving intraperitoneal treatment on days 2-15 of tumor development. Compound SNK-578 in a dose of 10 mg/kg significantly inhibited tumor growth (by 3.6 times; 72.2%) in 7 days after the treatment was discontinued, while compound SNK-411 in a dose of 25 mg/kg only negligibly reduced tumor volume (by 41.7%). A combination of course of SNK-411 (25 mg/kg) and single intraperitoneal dose of doxorubicin (4 mg/kg) significantly inhibited the tumor growth (by 2.2 times; 55.2%), while the combination of SNK-578 (10 mg/kg) with doxorubicin (4 mg/kg) was in fact ineffective. The median survival of animals with untreated LLC was 28 days. Median survival of mice injected with SNK-578 (10 mg/kg) was 43 days, hence, the lifespan of mice with LLC was by 38.6% longer after the treatment. Two of ten mice in this group developed no tumors.
