Os problemas do desenvolvimento do campo legal na Rússia dos primeiros tempos recentes (finais de XV - o comienzo del siglo XVII)
The article deals with the problems associated with the peculiarities of a single legal field development in the Russian state during the epoch of the early modern era (traditionally associated in Russian historiography with the times of a single centralized state formation and development and the emergence of autocracy as a kind of early absolutism). Using a number of provisions of modern concepts for the development of early modern states in Europe, the authors of the article put forward the thesis of a single legal field development in the Russian state during the period under consideration based on the analysis of Russian law monuments at the end of the XVth century (The Code of Law of Ivan III in 1497) and the 16th century (first of all, the code of law by Ivan IV, as well as a number of other legislative and legal acts) and judicial practice. In their opinion, this incompleteness was related with the following circumstances. First of all, the development of political and legal institutions in the early modern Russian state was of an evolutionary nature and, therefore, denied radical changes. Secondly, the poverty of the state caused the relative weakness and a slow development of "sinews of power" and, therefore, prevented the establishment of a more stringent administrative and legal control by the supreme power over the actions of local authorities. Finally, the weakness of the mentioned "sinews of power" conditioned the need of cooperation mode establishment between the supreme authority and local elites, while retaining the access to the exercise of power functions on the ground - also through the preservation of the old legal customs and traditions. Naturally, all this contributed to the preservation and the reproduction of the legal "antiquity" and, consequently, the incompleteness of legal centralization process and the formation of a single legal field throughout the country. The legal field, in the opinion of the authors of the article, had at least 2-level character all this time, the fragmented nature and the dispersion at the low-rank level.El artículo trata los problemas asociados con las peculiaridades de un desarrollo de campo legal único en el estado ruso durante la época moderna temprana (tradicionalmente asociado en la historiografía rusa con los tiempos de una formación y desarrollo estatal centralizado único y el surgimiento de la autocracia como una especie de absolutismo temprano). Usando una serie de disposiciones de conceptos modernos para el desarrollo de los estados modernos tempranos en Europa, los autores del artículo presentaron la tesis de un desarrollo de campo legal único en el estado ruso durante el período bajo consideración basado en el análisis de monumentos de derecho rusos a fines del siglo XV (El Código de Derecho de Iván III en 1497) y el siglo XVI (ante todo, el código de leyes de Iván IV, así como una serie de otros actos legislativos y jurídicos) y la práctica judicial . En su opinión, este estado incompleto estaba relacionado con las siguientes circunstancias. En primer lugar, el desarrollo de las instituciones políticas y legales en el estado ruso moderno temprano fue de naturaleza evolutiva y, por lo tanto, negó los cambios radicales. En segundo lugar, la pobreza del estado causó la debilidad relativa y un lento desarrollo de "tendones de poder" y, por lo tanto, impidió el establecimiento de un control administrativo y legal más estricto por parte del poder supremo sobre las acciones de las autoridades locales. Finalmente, la debilidad de los mencionados "nervios de poder" condicionó la necesidad del establecimiento del modo de cooperación entre la autoridad suprema y las elites locales, mientras se mantiene el acceso al ejercicio de las funciones de poder sobre el terreno, también a través de la preservación de las viejas costumbres legales y tradiciones Naturalmente, todo esto contribuyó a la preservación y reproducción de la "antigüedad" legal y, en consecuencia, a la incompletitud del proceso de centralización legal y la formación de un solo campo legal en todo el país. El campo legal, en opinión de los autores del artículo, tenía al menos un carácter de dos niveles todo este tiempo, la naturaleza fragmentada y la dispersión en el nivel de bajo rango.

Low-Energy Theorems from Holography
In the context of gauge/gravity duality, we verify two types of gauge theory
low-energy theorems, the dilation Ward identities and the decoupling of heavy
flavor. First, we provide an analytic proof of non-trivial dilation Ward
identities for a theory holographically dual to a background with gluon
condensate (the self-dual Liu--Tseytlin background). In this way an important
class of low-energy theorems for correlators of different operators with the
trace of the energy-momentum tensor is established, which so far has been
studied in field theory only. Another low-energy relationship, the so-called
decoupling theorem, is numerically shown to hold universally in three
holographic models involving both the quark and the gluon condensate. We show
this by comparing the ratio of the quark and gluon condensates in three
different examples of gravity backgrounds with non-trivial dilaton flow. As a
by-product of our study, we also obtain gauge field condensate contributions to
meson transport coefficients.Comment: 32 pages, 4 figures, two references added, typos remove

Оптимизация антибактериальной терапии у пациентов с эндо-пародонтальными поражениями
To improve the quality and effectiveness of medical care for patients with inflammatory periodontal diseases, it is necessary to search for new approaches in both diagnosis and treatment. The aim of our study is to determine the effect of the diode laser on the pathogenic microflora of periodontal pockets and root canals in patients with endo-periodontal lesions (EPL). We carried out a comparative assessment of the bacterial contents of the root canals and periodontal pockets by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) before and after treatment with a diode laser (Doctor Smile Simpler, wavelength 980 nm) for 54 patients with EPL. The control group consisted of 56 patients who were treated according to the generally accepted method, including professional oral hygiene, endodontic treatment, and curettage of periodontal pockets. Evaluation criteria were a qualitative assessment of the content of periodontopathogens in the root canal and periodontal pocket before and after and treatment. As a result of our study, we found a statistically significant (p<0.01) reduction in the colonization of periodontal pockets and root canals in patients with EPL after laser decontamination. The high technological effectiveness of the methods used in combination with the low risk of complications at the stages of endodontic and periodontological treatment provides an antibacterial effect and reduces the duration of inflammation. The results of treatment of patients using a diode laser give reason to recommend their use in the dental practice.Для повышения качества и эффективности оказания медицинской помощи пациентам с воспалительными заболеваниями пародонта необходим поиск новых подходов к диагностике и лечению патологии. Целью исследования было изучить влияние излучения диодного лазера на патогенную микрофлору пародонтальных карманов (ПК) и корневых каналов (КК) у пациентов с эндо-пародонтальными поражениями (ЭПП). Проведена сравнительная оценка бактериального содержимого КК и ПК методом полимеразно-цепной реакции (ПЦР) до и после лечения с применением стоматологического диодного лазера (Doctor Smile Simpler, длина волны 980 нм) у 54 пациентов с ЭПП. Группу контроля составили 56 пациентов, которым проводилось лечение по общепринятой методике, включающей профессиональную гигиену рта, эндодонтическое лечение и кюретаж ПК. Критерием оценки явилось качественное содержание пародонтопатогенов в КК и ПК до и после лечения. Выявлено статистически значимое (p<0,01) снижение обсемененности ПК и КК у пациентов с ЭПП после лазерной деконтаминации. Высокая технологичность использованных методик в сочетании с низкими рисками осложнений на этапах эндодонтического и пародонтологического лечения обеспечивает антибактериальный эффект и сокращает продолжительность воспалительных явлений. Результаты лечения пациентов с применением диодного лазера дают основание рекомендовать их использование в практике врача-стоматолога
Doping the holographic Mott insulator
Mott insulators form because of strong electron repulsions, being at the
heart of strongly correlated electron physics. Conventionally these are
understood as classical "traffic jams" of electrons described by a short-ranged
entangled product ground state. Exploiting the holographic duality, which maps
the physics of densely entangled matter onto gravitational black hole physics,
we show how Mott-insulators can be constructed departing from entangled
non-Fermi liquid metallic states, such as the strange metals found in cuprate
superconductors. These "entangled Mott insulators" have traits in common with
the "classical" Mott insulators, such as the formation of Mott gap in the
optical conductivity, super-exchange-like interactions, and form "stripes" when
doped. They also exhibit new properties: the ordering wave vectors are detached
from the number of electrons in the unit cell, and the DC resistivity diverges
algebraically instead of exponentially as function of temperature. These
results may shed light on the mysterious ordering phenomena observed in
underdoped cuprates.Comment: 27 pages, 9 figures. Accepted in Nature Physic
hI-con1, a factor VII-IgGFc chimeric protein targeting tissue factor for immunotherapy of uterine serous papillary carcinoma
BACKGROUND: Uterine serous papillary adenocarcinoma (USPC) is a highly aggressive variant of endometrial cancer. Human immunoconjugate
molecule (hI-con1) is an antibody-like molecule targeted against tissue factor (TF), composed of two human Factor VII
(fVII) as the targeting domain, fused to human immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 Fc as an effector domain. We evaluated hI-con1 potential
activity against primary chemotherapy-resistant USPC cell lines expressing different levels of TF.
METHODS: A total of 16 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded USPC samples were evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for
TF expression. Six primary USPC cell lines, half of which overexpress the epidermal growth factor type II (HER2/neu) receptor at
3\ufe levels, were assessed by flow cytometry and real-time PCR for TF expression. Sensitivity to hI-con1-dependent cell-mediated
cytotoxicity (IDCC) was evaluated in 5-hour-chromium release assays. Finally, to investigate the effect of interleukin-2 (IL-2) on
IDCC, 5-h 51Cr assays were also conducted in the presence of low doses of IL-2 (i.e., 50\u2013100 IU ml 1).
RESULTS: Cytoplasmic and/or membrane TF expression was observed in all 16 (100%) USPC samples tested by IHC, but not in normal
endometrium. High expression of TF was found in 50% (three out of six) of the USPC cell lines tested by real-time PCR and flow
cytometry when compared with normal endometrial cells (NECs; Po0.001). Uterine serous papillary adenocarcinoma cell lines
overexpressing TF, regardless of their high or low HER2/neu expression, were highly sensitive to IDCC (mean killing\ub1s.d.,
65.6\ub13.7%, range 57.5\u201377.0%, Po0.001), although negligible cytotoxicity against USPC was seen in the absence of hI-con1 or in the
presence of Rituximab control antibody. The addition of low doses of IL-2 further increased the cytotoxic effect induced by hI-con1
against chemotherapy-resistant USPC.
CONCLUSION: hI-con1 induces strong cytotoxicity against primary chemotherapy-resistant USPC cell lines overexpressing TF. The
hI-con1 may represent a novel therapeutic agent for the treatment of patients harbouring advanced, recurrent and/or metastatic
USPC refractory to standard treatment modalities
Inhibiting mevalonate pathway enzymes increases stromal cell resilience to a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin
Animal health depends on the ability of immune cells to kill invading pathogens, and on the resilience of tissues to tolerate the presence of pathogens. Trueperella pyogenes causes tissue pathology in many mammals by secreting a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin, pyolysin (PLO), which targets stromal cells. Cellular cholesterol is derived from squalene, which is synthesized via the mevalonate pathway enzymes, including HMGCR, FDPS and FDFT1. The present study tested the hypothesis that inhibiting enzymes in the mevalonate pathway to reduce cellular cholesterol increases the resilience of stromal cells to PLO. We first verified that depleting cellular cholesterol with methyl-β-cyclodextrin increased the resilience of stromal cells to PLO. We then used siRNA to deplete mevalonate pathway enzyme gene expression, and used pharmaceutical inhibitors, atorvastatin, alendronate or zaragozic acid to inhibit the activity of HMGCR, FDPS and FDFT1, respectively. These approaches successfully reduced cellular cholesterol abundance, but mevalonate pathway enzymes did not affect cellular resilience equally. Inhibiting FDFT1 was most effective, with zaragozic acid reducing the impact of PLO on cell viability. The present study provides evidence that inhibiting FDFT1 increases stromal cell resilience to a cholesterol-dependent cytolysin
