ГУМУСНОЕ СОСТОЯНИЕ ПОЧВ ГОРНОГО АЛТАЯ И ЕГО ЭКОЛОГИЧЕСКАЯ ОБУСЛОВЛЕННОСТЬ
The article describes the function of soil fertility humus performs; the function is important for ecosystems, biosphere and anthroposphere as well. Humus content of soil is revealed in different ways when experiencing anthropogenic influence in the areas differed in climate characteristics. The paper reveals necessity in appropriate estimation of relation between humus content of soil and environmental conditions. The possibility to forecast humus substances reaction by means of taking into consideration the effect goal and changing conditions of the system operation results in urgency of environmental conditions for the features of humus content of soil. The paper investigates the soils of different altitudinal belts moistened in arid, humid and balanced ways. The authors characterize humus content of soil in Altai Mountains which is very complicated area for agriculture. They study the fundamental climate characteristics of the territory; reveal the results of relation between humus soil content and climate characteristics; represent the regression models of Сгк: Сфк relation and moistening; and reveal regression equation on the basis of altitude. The regression models effectively describe the data which is proved by statistic criteria and diagrams. The regression equations can be applied when estimating environmental conditions of relation between humic components and in order to estimate them in natural environment influenced by natural and anthropogenic factors.Гумус выполняет одну из главнейших функций, которая важна для экосистем и биосферы, а также антропосферы в целом – функцию плодородия почв. При антропогенном воздействии на территориях с разными климатическими параметрами гумус почв ведёт себя по-разному. Рассматривается проблема необходимости адекватной оценки зависимости состояния гумуса почв от экологических условий. Актуальность вопроса экологической обусловленности признаков состава и свойств гумуса почв вытекает из возможности прогнозировать поведение системы гумусовых веществ, зная направленность воздействия и изменения условий функционирования этой системы. Исследуются почвы разных высотных поясов в условиях аридного, гумидного и сбалансированного увлажнения. Дана краткая характеристика гумусного состояния современных почв Горного Алтая – сложной в сельскохозяйственном отношении территории. Изучены основные климатические показатели этой территории. Представлены результаты зависимости состава гумуса исследуемых почв от климатических параметров, выявлены модели регрессии между отношением Сгк :Сфк и увлажнением, а также получены аналогичные уравнения регрессии с учётом вы- соты местности над уровнем моря. Предложенные регрессионные модели адекватно описывают данные, о чём свидетельствуют статистические критерии и графические отчёты. Уравнения регрессии могут использоваться при оценке экологической обусловленности соотношения компонентов гумуса и для оценки их поведения в процессе изменения природной среды под влиянием как естественных, так и антропогенных причин

Molecular genetic features of the development of restrictive cardiomyopathy in Russian children
Aim. To identify the proportion of restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), as well as cardiomyopathy (CMP) with a restrictive type of hemodynamics among all cases of genetic CMP and to determine the relative frequencies and spectrum of nucleotide variants in Russian children with RCM, as well as to search for phenogenotypic correlations.Material and methods. The study included 689 children with CMPs. All children underwent a molecular genetic testing of the target regions of 419 genes responsible for various cardiomyopathies and channelopathies using the method of massively parallel sequencing (MPS).Results. In 668 (97,0%) children, pathogenic, likely pathogenic nucleotide variants, as well as nucleotide variants with unknown clinical significance, were identified. Of these, 45 (6,7%) patients were selected to determine the molecular genetic characteristics of RCM, 20 of whom had clinical symptoms and morphofunctional structure of RCMP (3,0%), while the remaining 25 (3,7%) children were diagnosed with another CMP type with a restrictive type of hemodynamics. In total, these patients had 41 nucleotide variants in 15 different genes, while 19 (46,3%) variants were pathogenic, 12 (29,3%) — likely pathogenic, 10 (24,4%) — uncertain clinical significance. Pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants were identified in a total of 38 (84,4%) patients, while in 19 (42,2%) patients, the pathogenic variants described earlier were found. The most common genetic marker of RCM in Russian children was TNNI3 gene mutations. In total, they were identified in 12 (25%) children: with RCP — 8 (40%) patients; with CMP with a restrictive type of hemodynamics — 4 (16%) patients. At the same time, the most common mutation of the TNNI3 gene was the nucleotide variant c.575G>A, leading to the amino acid variant p.R192H, described earlier in patients with RCM and identified by us in three (15%) unrelated children with RCM. In addition, a significant difference was found between the averaged values of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide in patients with mutations in the MYH7 and TNNI3 genes (0,0039, p<0,05), as well as between the peak flow gradient values in children with mutations in TNNI3 and FLNC genes (0,0016, p<0,05), TNNI3 and MYH7 genes (0,039, p<0,05).Conclusion. The results of this study indicate a significant genetic heterogeneity of RCM in Russian children and the need for further research aimed at finding genotype-phenotype associations in order to predict the course of the disease and select the proper therapy
Detection of highly conductive surface electron states in topological crystalline insulators Pb1−xSnxSe using laser terahertz radiation
We suggest a method for detection of highly conductive surface electron states including topological ones. The method is based on measurements of the photoelectromagnetic effect using terahertz laser pulses. In contrast to conventional transport measurements, the method is not sensitive to the bulk conductivity. The method is demonstrated on an example of topological crystalline insulators Pb1−xSnxSe. It is shown that highly conductive surface electron states are present in Pb1−xSnxSe both in the inverse and direct electron energy spectrum

An enlargement in pharyngeal lymphoid ring accompanies infectious mononucleosis. This can significantly degrade the quality of life of a sick child. When nasopharyngeal and palatine tonsils are irrigated with saline seawater with aloe and chamomile hypertonic, the airway patency restores on average 2 days faster than in conventional treatment with decongestants. The condition of the pharynx normalizes 3,5 days faster in comparison with treatment by local antiseptics. The complex preparation with a broad spectrum of activity can improve patient’s commitment to therapy and significantly reduce expenses for outpatient treatment.Инфекционный мононуклеоз сопровождается увеличением лимфоидной ткани глоточного кольца, что может значительно ухудшать качество жизни больного ребенка. При орошении носоглоточной и небных миндалин натуральной гипертонической морской водой с экстрактами алоэ и ромашки проходимость дыхательных путей восстанавливается в среднем на 2 дня раньше, чем при назначении топических деконгестантов, а фарингоскопическая картина нормализуется на 3,5 дня быстрее, чем при использовании местных антисептиков. Комплексный препарат с широким спектром действия позволяет повысить приверженность пациентов к терапии и существенно снизить материальные затраты на лечение в амбулаторных условиях
Фотоиндуцированные процессы наночастиц оксида железа для усиления лазерной терапии
Nanoparticles are used as drug carriers to increase the selectivity and effectiveness of therapy, as well as for combined therapy that utilizes different effects. Iron oxide nanoparticles are promising in this aspect. Due to magnetic properties, they can be used as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging. Also, iron oxide nanoparticles could be coated with a photosensitizer for photodynamic therapy and their laser or magnetic heating can be used for phototherapy. Local enhancement of the electromagnetic field near iron oxide nanoparticles can increase the fluorescence intensity of photosensitizers and the efficiency of singlet oxygen generation. This paper presents the results of a study of iron oxide nanoparticles focused on the photophysical aspects of the formation of “hot spots” under laser irradiation. The photoinduced effects of iron oxide nanoparticles observed in in vitro experiments lead to the rupture of lysosomes. Theoretical modeling showed that the heating of iron oxide nanoparticles with a radius of 35 nm under the action of laser radiation is about 89°C and 19°C for wavelengths of 458 and 561 nm, respectively. Local field enhancement occurs in pairs of nanoparticles of various sizes and strongly depends on the distance between them. The maximum gain is achieved at small distances between nanoparticles. For a dimer of nanoparticles with radii of 10 and 35 nm at a distance of 1 nm, an enhancement factor of two orders of magnitude was obtained. The investigated phenomenon of «hot spots» is in demand for precision therapy, because the photo-induced processes occur at small distances between nanoparticles, in areas of their high accumulation.Наночастицы используются в качестве носителей лекарственных средств для повышения селективности и эффективности терапии, а также для сочетанной терапии, объединяющей разные виды воздействия. Перспективными в этом аспекте являются наночастицы оксида железа. Благодаря магнитным свойствам, они могут быть применяться в качестве контраста для магнитно-резонансной томографии. Также наночастицы оксида железа могут быть покрыты фотосенсибилизатором для фотодинамической терапии, а их лазерный или магнитный нагрев этих частиц может используется для проведения фототерапии. При этом локальное усиление электромагнитного поля вблизи наночастиц оксида железа может повысить интенсивность флуоресценции фотосенсибилизаторов и эффективность генерации синглетного кислорода.В работе представлены результаты исследования наночастиц оксида железа, сфокусированного на фотофизических аспектах образования «горячих точек» при лазерном облучении. Фотоиндуцированные эффекты наночастиц оксида железа, наблюдаемые в экспериментах in vitro, приводят к разрыву лизосом. Теоретическое моделирование показало, что нагрев наночастиц оксида железа радиусом 35 нм под действием лазерного излучения составляет порядка 89˚С и 19˚С для длин волн 458 и 561 нм, соответственно. Локальное усиление поля возникает в парах из наночастиц различного размера и сильно зависит от расстояния между ними. Максимальное усиление достигается при малых расстояниях между наночастицами. Для димера наночастиц с радиусами 10 нм и 35 нм на расстоянии 1 нм получен фактор усиления на два порядка. Рассмотренное явление «горячих точек» востребовано для прецизионной терапии, так как фотоиндуцированные процессы возникают на малых расстояниях между наночастицами, в областях с их высоким накоплением
Impact of toxicity effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles in rats within acute and subacute experiments
Introduction. Occupational air is contaminated with zinc oxide nanoparticles in the copper smelting industry, especially in the smelting of brass and copper. A wide range of toxic effects with varied clinical symptomatology is observed in zinc and its compounds. Competitive relations with many other metals, including calcium, copper, and iron, are the foundation of most cases of zinc intoxication. Long-term administration of zinc or its compounds to laboratory rodents affects enzymes, carbohydrates and mineral metabolism. Materials and methods. Subchronic intoxication with repeated intraperitoneal injections and acute low respiratory tract reaction to a single intratracheal injection of zinc nanoparticles were simulated in outbred white rats. Water suspensions of zinc oxide nanoparticles with a 30-80 nm diameter were applied in both experimental models. Upon completion of the exposure, the condition of the rats in all groups was evaluated in many generally accepted criteria for toxicity. The student’s t-test was applied for statistical analysis of the obtained data. Results. Moderate intoxication development in a subchronic experiment is demonstrated. Homogeneous ultrastructural changes in the spleen tissue were revealed. Mitochondrial damage with partial or complete loss of crista is the most common. The fragmentation ratio of DNA was found by a statistically significant increase. A single intratracheal injection of zinc oxide nanoparticles revealed the increase in the attraction of cells capable of their phagocytosis (mainly neutrophils) into the low respiratory tract. This shows their cytotoxicity. Conclusion. Moderate general toxic and cytotoxic effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles on the rat body were identified. © 2021 Izdatel'stvo Meditsina. All rights reserved
