The Convective Transport of Active Species in the Tropics (CONTRAST) Experiment.

The Convective Transport of Active Species in the Tropics (CONTRAST) experiment was conducted from Guam (13.5° N, 144.8° E) during January-February 2014. Using the NSF/NCAR Gulfstream V research aircraft, the experiment investigated the photochemical environment over the tropical western Pacific (TWP) warm pool, a region of massive deep convection and the major pathway for air to enter the stratosphere during Northern Hemisphere (NH) winter. The new observations provide a wealth of information for quantifying the influence of convection on the vertical distributions of active species. The airborne in situ measurements up to 15 km altitude fill a significant gap by characterizing the abundance and altitude variation of a wide suite of trace gases. These measurements, together with observations of dynamical and microphysical parameters, provide significant new data for constraining and evaluating global chemistry climate models. Measurements include precursor and product gas species of reactive halogen compounds that impact ozone in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere. High accuracy, in-situ measurements of ozone obtained during CONTRAST quantify ozone concentration profiles in the UT, where previous observations from balloon-borne ozonesondes were often near or below the limit of detection. CONTRAST was one of the three coordinated experiments to observe the TWP during January-February 2014. Together, CONTRAST, ATTREX and CAST, using complementary capabilities of the three aircraft platforms as well as ground-based instrumentation, provide a comprehensive quantification of the regional distribution and vertical structure of natural and pollutant trace gases in the TWP during NH winter, from the oceanic boundary to the lower stratosphere.

The influence of probiotic Enterococcus faecium strain L5 on the microbiota and cytokines expression in rats with dysbiosis induced by antibiotics.

The animal model of intestinal dysbiosis induced by antibiotics was created. Dysbiotic condition was confirmed by the changes in titre of the indigenous microbiota (excessive growth of opportunistic microorganisms and reduced number of lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and enterococci) and the appearance of dyspeptic symptoms. Consumption of the fermented milk product with probiotic strain Enterococcus faecium L5 led to the rapid disappearance of dysbiosis symptoms, normalisation of the microbiota, increase in expression of IL-10 and decrease in IL-8 expression.

[The formation of the transplant for its descending to perineum with the sphincter-salvaging surgery in patients with disseminated sigmoid colon blood supply]. / Formirovanie transplantata dlia nizvedeniia na promezhnost' pri vypolnenii sfinktero-sokhraniaiushchei operatsii u bol'nykh s rassypnym tipom krovosnabzheniia sigmovidnoi obodochnoi kishki.

The methods of the transplant formation in the loose type of the sigmoyd colon blood supply and insufficiency of the over vessel, applied in patients during sphincter-preserving operation performance for cancer recti, was proposed. Satisfactory immediate and late follow up result was noted.

[Resection of rectum and bladder for cancer]. / Rezektsiia priamoi kishki i mochemogo puzyria po povodu raka.

In 1970-1997 period 43 patients with cancer recti, invading bladder, were operated on. The base of surgical tactics was performance of primarily-restorational operation as independent procedure and in the complex of treatment as well. There was noted the fair immediate and late follow-up result of treatment.
