RESUMO
We developed a new test system to detect the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 using allele-specific reverse transcription PCR and estimated the frequency of its detection in patients living in the Novosibirsk Region. Clinical samples were divided into 3 groups: samples collected from December 1 to December 30, 2021 (group 1; n=66), from December 30, 2021 to January 10, 2022 (group 2; n=20), and from January 11 to January 22, 2022 (group 3; n=101). Based on the identification of 5 mutations specific to SARS-CoV-2 (B.1.1.529), two systems of oligonucleotide primers and probes were developed for detecting this coronavirus genotype in clinical samples. Limit of detection (LOD95) was 4×103 genome equivalents per 1 ml of clinical sample for the first test system and 2×103 for the for the second test system. The omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 was absent in group 1 of studied samples, but was detected in 20% (4/20) of group 2 samples and 88% of group 2 samples collected within less than 2 weeks of January 2022. Using developed test system, we showed that in less than 2 weeks the omicron variant has become dominant in patients, which confirms previously published data on its exceptional contagiousness.

Spontaneous proliferative activity of splenocytes in female CBA mice and the response of these cells to antigens of allogeneic male BALB/c and DBA/2 mice in a mixed splenocyte culture were evaluated by 3H-thymidine incorporation in different pregnancy models. âCBA×âBALB/c mating was used for modeling physiological pregnancy. Spontaneous abortions were reproduced by abortion-prone âCBA×âDBA/2 mating. In order to simulate immunostimulant-induced and immunostimulant-potentiated abortions, 0.83 mg/kg muramyl dipeptide ß-heptylglycoside was intraperitoneally injected to CBA females mated with BALB/c or DBA/2 males, respectively, on gestation days 5 and 7. The increase in the rate of embryo resorption in the models of spontaneous, induced, and potentiated abortions occurred against the background of an increase in the level of spontaneous proliferation of splenocytes and a decrease in their reactivity to paternal antigens on gestation day 9.

Schizophrenia is a complex chronic disease. The molecular determinants and neuropathology of schizophrenia are multifaceted; an important role in the pathogenesis is played by the dysregulation of molecular and epigenetic mechanisms. However, the molecular mechanisms of the development of the disease have not yet been studied. An important task is the accumulation and systematization of "OMICS"-knowledge of the molecular profiles (transcriptome, proteome, metabolome) of blood specific to pathology. Thereby the development and improvement of mass spectrometric methods for the detection of biological molecules has become increasingly important in biomedical research. In the field of applied problems in biomedical research, the most prevalent issue involves the identification of serological protein markers associated with the development of schizophrenia, which account for the diseases that cause the a life-shortening illness, disability, decreased of functioning and quality of life and wellbeing or health status. OMICS approaches are designed to detect genes (genomics), mRNA (transcriptomics), proteins (proteomics) and metabolites (metabolomics) in a specific biological sample. We report the proteomic datasets on the serum samples from patients with schizophrenia (series "SCZ") and healthy volunteers (series "CNT"). Data were acquired using shotgun ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry.
RESUMO
We report the proteomic datasets on the mouse macrophage cell line PMJ2R infected with tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) for two and six days. Data were acquired using shotgun ultra-high resolution mass spectrometry. Peptide identifications were done using the Mascot version 2.4 (Matrix Science), and quantification was performed by a label-free approach. Protein profiles of early (two days) and late (six days) stages of infection were compared between each other and the respective control samples. Protein profiles of infected and control samples differed in the number of identified proteins and their relative abundances. Proteins detected in the TBEV-infected cells were involved in various processes related to the infection, including defense response against the virus, regulation of viral process, negative regulation of viral genome replication, RNA binding, or innate immune response. Also, proteins specific for the early and late stages of infection were identified.
RESUMO
AIM: to evaluate functional results of reoperation performed according to the CIRCLE technology and using the VisuMax femtosecond laser and MEL-80 excimer laser in cases of regression of the refractive effect after SMILE surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We studied a group of post-SMILE patients. In those, who showed regression of the refractive effect at 1 year, reoperation was performed according to the CIRCLE technology and using the VisuMax femtosecond laser. The corneal flap was separated from the stromal bed and turned aside. Excimer laser ablation of the stromal bed was performed with the MEL 80 machine. The corneal flap was then placed back and rinsed from both sides. Uncorrected (UCVA) and corrected (BCVA) visual acuity as well as spherical equivalent (SE) were estimated before reoperation, on day 1, and at 1 month. RESULTS: After reoperation, BCVA and UCVA improved. Patient refraction became close to emmetropia. Specifically, UCVA was 0.23±0.18 at baseline (i.e. 1 year after SMILE) and 0.93±0.11 after the CIRCLE procedure (p<0.05). The absolute value of SE was 1.86±1.15 D and 0±0 D before and after CIRCLE, respectively (p<0.05). BCVA change was not statistically significant - from 0.95±0.1 to 0.93±0.11 (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: Reoperation performed according to the CIRCLE technology and using the VisuMax femtosecond laser and MEL-80 excimer laser provides an increase in visual acuity in case of post-SMILE regression of the refractive effect.

The nature of products in the diazotization of 1-amino-2-acetylenyl-9,10-anthraquinones strongly depends on the nature of substituents at both the alkyne and at the anthraquinone core. Donor substitution (NHAr, OH) at the fourth position stabilizes the diazonium salt at C1, decelerating electrophilic cyclization at the arylethynyl substituent at C2. This effect allows the replacement of the diazonium with azide group and subsequent closure into isoxazole ring with preservation of the alkyne. In contrast, electrophilic 5-exo-dig cyclizations to condensed pyrazoles is observed for the combination of donor substituents at the aryl alkyne moiety and an OAc substituent at C4. The latter process provides a new synthetic route to 3-ethynyl-[1,9-cd]isoxazol-6-ones that are difficult to access otherwise. DFT calculations suggest that donor substituents have only a minor effect on alkyne and diazonium polarization in the reactant but provide specific transition state stabilization by stabilizing the incipient vinyl cation. This analysis provides the first computational data on electrophilic 5-exo-dig cyclization in its parent form and the nucleophile-promoted version. This cyclization is a relatively fast but endothermic process that is rendered thermodynamically feasible by the enol-keto tautomerization with concomitant aromatization in the five-membered heteroaromatic ring. Computations suggest that the importance of nucleophilic assistance in the transition state for a relatively weak nucleophile such as water is minor because the energy gain due to the Lewis base coordination to the carbocationic center is more than compensated for by the unfavorable entropic term for the bimolecular proces.

This paper reports the results of analysis of organizational problems related to personality identification of unrecognized casualties in a variety of emergency situations. The necessity of purpose-oriented introduction of high-technology methods into the practical work of forensic medical experts is emphasized. The priority of the organizational component in the interdepartmental interactions during joint expertise actions at the sites of emergency situations is substantiated. The specific features of injuries in unrecognized subjects who died or suffered in emergency situations are considered with reference to the latter's peculiar conditions. The authors discuss prospects for the further development of organizational and legal basis of research for the purpose of personality identification with the use of the database of human medico-biological characteristics as envisaged by the current legislation.

Immunization of mice with a pure preparation of the ganglioside adsorbed on Salmonella typhimurium and hybridization of splenocytes with myeloma P3-X63-Ag 8.653 have resulted in hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies against ganglioside Fuc GM1, a marker of human small cell lung carcinoma. Characterization of four hybridomal clones and data on the antigenic specificity of the monoclonal antibodies are given. All four monoclonal antibodies reacted only with Fuc GM1 in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In radioimmunodetection of the antigen on thin-layer plates, two of the four monoclonal antibodies gave cross-reactions with Fuc GD1b. The obtained monoclonal antibodies have revealed the presence of Fuc GM1 in all seven cases of small cell lung carcinoma we have studied and the absence of Fuc GM1 in the normal human lung tissue and in lung adenocarcinomas.

Thymic gangliosides GM3 and GD3 and LacCer incorporated into the membrane of the tumor target cell leukemia (YAC) increase its sensitivity to the membrane toxic action of spleen effectors. Unlike thymic gangliosides GD3, ganglioside GD3 of the brain origin substantially reduces tumor cell sensitivity to spleen effectors. Some other brain glycosphingolipids differing essentially in the structure of the carbohydrate part of the molecule exert the same action. It has been shown in model experiments with incorporation into the tumor cell membrane of brain ganglioside GD3 combined with thymic LacCer or with egg phosphatidylcholine that the increase in the sensitivity of the tumor cell membrane to spleen effectors is linked with a change in the properties of the lipid membrane matrix under the effect of unsaturated fatty acids (e.g. in experiments with phosphatidylcholine). It follows from the data presented that the capability of influencing the sensitivity of tumor cells to natural spleen effectors largely depends on the differences in the structure of the cearamide part of brain and thymic GD3.

The investigation performed in 30 dogs has demonstrated that the frontal bone has an additional "small" frontal sinus. It situates more distally to the known "large" frontal sinus, in the anterior part of the frontal bone. The "small" frontal sinuses on both sides are also separated with a longitudinal septum and communicate with the nasal cavity by means of independent frontonasal canals.
