On the Volterra property of a boundary problem with integral gluing condition for mixed parabolic-hyperbolic equation

In the present work we consider a boundary value problem with gluing conditions of integral form for parabolic-hyperbolic type equation. We prove that the considered problem has the Volterra property. The main tools used in the work are related to the method of the integral equations and functional analysis.Comment: 18 page

Quasi-Two Dimensional Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors with Arbitrary Carrier Degeneracy

In the framework of the generalized mean field theory, conditions for arising the ferromagnetic state in a two-dimensional diluted magnetic semiconductor and the features of that state are defined. RKKY-interaction of magnetic impurities is supposed. The spatial disorder of their arrangement and temperature alteration of the carrier degeneracy are taken into account

Phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitors and db-cAMP inhibit TNF-α release from human mononuclear cells. Effects of cAMP and cGMP-dependent protein kinase inhibitors

We investigated the effects of specific inhibitors of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) on the inhibitory activity of phosphodiesterase (PDE) type 4 inhibitors and of the cell permeable analogue of cAMP, db-cAMP on LPS-induced TNF-α release from human mononuclear cells. Incubation from 30 min of mononuclear cells with dbcAMP (10−5 to 10−3 M), rolipram (10−9 M to 10−5 M) or Ro 20-1724 (10−9 M to 10−5 M) significantly inhibited LPS-induced TNF-α release. When mononuclear cells were preincubated for 30 min with the selective PKA inhibitor, H89 (10−4 M), but not with the selective PKG inhibitor, Rp-8-pCPT-cGMPs (10−4 M), a significant reduction of the inhibitory effect of db-cAMP was noted. Thirty min incubation of mononuclear cells with Rp-8-pCPT-cGMPs induced a significant reduction of the inhibitory activities of both rolipram and Ro 20-1724 (10−9 to 10−5 M) on LPS-induced TNF-α release, whereas H89 elicited a moderate, but significant inhibition. The present data indicate that db-cAMP inhibits TNF-α release from human mononuclear cells through a PKA-dependent mechanism. In contrast, PDE 4 inhibitors elicit their in vitro anti-inflammatory activities via a PKG-dependent rather than PKA-dependent activation

Assessment of technological capabilities to counter fraudulent practices in the banking sector

In connection with the strengthening of Western sanctions on the Russian banking sector, the number of malefactors, who enjoy the confidence of panicking depositors and the unstable situation in the banking market, has increased dramatically. The article discusses the key issues of the application of big data analysis as a technological basis for countering fraud in the practical activities of banks. The objectives of such a struggle are to determine the operations of intruders in the flow of large volumes of statistical information with the greatest accuracy and to take preventive measures to minimize damage. The purpose of the article is to assess the possibility of using machine learning technology by banks and develop an algorithm for detecting fraudulent transactions based on programming. Particular attention is paid to the current economic environment, its impact on the financial system as a whole, and in particular, on the reorientation of the banking sector to combat fraud in the context of increased fraud activity

Информация о смерти клеток необходима для жизни всего организма

In present paper we give the review of own experimental and literary data, devoted to programmed cells destruction— apoptosis in animal and plants. We show, that the inheritable information about cell death is necessary for life and evolutionary prosperity of multicellular organisms.В настоящей статье мы даем обзор собственных экспериментальных и литературных данных, посвященных запрограммированной гибели клеток — апоптозу у животных и растений, показываем, что наследственная информация о смерти необходима для жизни и эволюционного процветания многоклеточных организмов. За эти работы группе американских и английских учёных в 2002 г. была присуждена Нобелевская премия по физиологии и медицине. Апоптоз — центральная проблема современного комплекса наук о жизни

Immunologic Profiling of Immune-Related Cutaneous Adverse Events with Checkpoint Inhibitors Reveals Polarized Actionable Pathways

Purpose: Immune-related cutaneous adverse events (ircAEs) occur in ≥50% of patients treated with checkpoint inhibitors (CPI), but mechanisms are poorly understood. Experimental Design: Phenotyping/biomarker analyses were conducted in 200 patients on CPIs (139 with ircAEs, 61 without, control) to characterize their clinical presentation and immunologic endotypes. Cytokines were evaluated in skin biopsies, skin tape strip (STS) extracts and plasma using real-time PCR and Meso Scale Discovery multiplex cytokine assays. Results: Eight ircAE phenotypes were identified: pruritus (26%), maculopapular rash (MPR; 21%), eczema (19%), lichenoid (11%), urticaria (8%), psoriasiform (6%), vitiligo (5%), and bullous dermatitis (4%). All phenotypes showed skin lymphocyte and eosinophil infiltrates. Skin biopsy PCR revealed the highest increase in IFN-gamma mRNA in patients with lichenoid (p<0.0001) and psoriasiform dermatitis (p<0.01) as compared to patients without ircAEs, while the highest IL-13 mRNA levels were detected in the eczema (p<0.0001, compared to control). IL-17A mRNA was selectively increased in psoriasiform (p<0.001), lichenoid (p<0.0001), bullous dermatitis (p<0.05) and MPR (p<0.001), compared to control. Distinct cytokine profiles were confirmed in STS and plasma. Analysis determined increased skin/plasma IL-4 cytokine in pruritus, skin IL-13 in eczema, plasma IL-5 and IL-31 in eczema and urticaria, and mixed-cytokine pathways in MPR. Broad inhibition via corticosteroids or type 2-cytokine targeted inhibition resulted in clinical benefit in these ircAEs. In contrast, significant skin upregulation of type 1/type 17 pathways was found in psoriasiform, lichenoid, bullous dermatitis, and type 1 activation in vitiligo. Conclusions: Distinct immunologic ircAE endotypes suggest actionable targets for precision medicine-based interventions

Boundary Value Problems with Integral Gluing Conditions for Fractional-Order Mixed-Type Equation

Analogs of the Tricomi and the Gellerstedt problems with integral gluing conditions for mixed parabolic-hyperbolic equation with parameter have been considered. The considered mixed-type equation consists of fractional diffusion and telegraph equation. The Tricomi problem is equivalently reduced to the second-kind Volterra integral equation, which is uniquely solvable. The uniqueness of the Gellerstedt problem is proven by energy integrals' method and the existence by reducing it to the ordinary differential equations. The method of Green functions and properties of integral-differential operators have been used
