ParticularitÄČile de evoluČie a meningitei tuberculoase la adulČi
Background. Development of meningitis in patients with tuberculosis (TB) conditions a serious
evolution of the disease, caused by irreversible changes that occur by cerebral edema. Objective of the
study. Studying of evolution and assess treatment outcomes in adult patients with TB
meningitis. Material and Methods. A cohort retrospective study was performed that included 46 adults
with TB meningitis, undergoing treatment at the Municipal Clinical Hospital of Phthisiopneumology in
Chisinau for the period 2000-2018 years. Results. Rate male/female - 4.75/1. Aged <40 years - 21
(46%). TB contact - 32 (70%) cases. The social risk factors was in 100%. Passive detection
predominated - 44 (96%). Meningitis has been established in patients with pulmonary TB in 38 (83%)
cases. The clinical forms of pulmonary TB were: infiltrative - 22 (68%), fibrocavitary - 6 (17%),
disseminated - 4 (15%), 14 (30%) - extrapulmonary TB. Diagnosis was confirmed by distinctiv changes
in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF): serous CSF character, increased pleocytosis due to lymphocytes,
positive Pandy reaction, hypoglycorahia. Treatment for sensitive TB - 31 (68%), for resistant TB - 15
(22%). The death of the patients - 41 (89%) cases. Conclusion. TB meningitis develops in young adults
with contact TB. The TB meningitis diagnosis was confirmed by distinctiv typical changes in CSF. TB
meningitis evolution is unfavorable.

DeterminanČii sociali la pacienČii cu tuberculozÄ pulmonarÄ
Introduction. People with social vulnerability, such as
those without a place for living, migrants, unemployed,
and marginalized by addictive behaviors have a high risk
for tuberculosis. Objective of the study. The aim of the
study was to assess the distribution of the social determinants in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Material
and methods. A retrospective, selective, longitudinal study was performed that included 419 patients diagnosed
with tuberculosis and registered with a socially vulnerable
state in Chisinau during 2017-2019. Results. According to
the sex distribution, it was identified that the ratio men/
women consisted 3.5/1; the age group of 35-54 years was
prevailed with 226 (54%) cases, followed by the age group
of 18-35 years with 125 (30%) cases and the group of 55+
years ā with 56 (16%) cases. Unemployed were 328 (78%),
low level of education had 342 (82%) cases and poor living
conditions had 281 (67%) cases. There were in detention
41 (9%) cases and recently migrated were 53 (13%) cases.
Harmful habits such as chronic alcoholism had 61 (15%) cases and patients who are addicted to drugs ā 7 (2%) cases.
HIV/AIDS was diagnosed in 52 (12%) cases, mental disorders ā in 14 (5%) cases, malnourished were 32 (7.6%) patients, undernourished ā 28% cases. 48 (11%) cases were in
tuberculosis contact. Conclusions. The social determinants
of the patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were dominated by unemployment, low level of education and poor living conditions, which often were associated with harmful
habits, TB contact, undernourished and HIV-infection.Introducere. Persoanele cu vulnerabilitate socialÄ, precum

Features of the pediatric patients with tuberculosis
Introduction
Tuberculosis among pediatric population is an
important health problem in many countries, especially
in low income countries.
The receptivity for TB is higher during the childhood
period due to social, epidemiological and biological risk
factors.
Purpose
To establish the peculiarities of pediatric patients
diagnosed with TB in the actual epidemiological context
of Chisinau city
Material and methods
A retrospective study, which included 43 children
diagnosed in Chisinau during the period 2017-2019
was performed
Results
Distribution by sex: 22 (51%) were boys and 21 (49%) girls.
From urban residence were 21 (49%) cases and from rural
residence - 22 (51%) cases. Tuberculous contact had 21
(51.16%) children. By the examination of the high-risk groups
36 (84%) cases were detected with tuberculosis contact,
including 21 (52%) cases of family contact. General
practitioners detected 27 (63%) cases and
phthisiopulmonologists - 16 (37%) cases. The new cases were
38 (88%) children and previously treated cases were 5 (12%)
cases. Tuberculosis of intrathoracic lymph nodes was
diagnosed in 40 (93%) children, primary tuberculosis complex
- in 2 (4.6%) cases and 1 (2.3%) case was diagnosed with acute
disseminated tuberculosis. Positive tuberculin test result was
identified in 29 (67%) children, hyperergic reaction - in 5
(12%) children and negative result - in 8 (19%) cases. Nonvaccinated BCG were only 2 (4.6%) cases.
Conclusions
The peculiarities of pediatric patients affected by tuberculosis are the similar involvement of
boys and girls, presence of tuberculosis contact, lack of antituberculosis treatment in most of
cases, predomination of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and positive or hyperergic results of
tuberculin skin test

Protein Tyrosine Kinases and Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases Are Involved in Abscisic Acid-Dependent Processes in Arabidopsis Seeds and Suspension Cells
CDPKs CPK6 and CPK3 Function in ABA Regulation of Guard Cell S-Type Anion- and Ca(2+)- Permeable Channels and Stomatal Closure
Abscisic acid (ABA) signal transduction has been proposed to utilize cytosolic Ca(2+) in guard cell ion channel regulation. However, genetic mutants in Ca(2+) sensors that impair guard cell or plant ion channel signaling responses have not been identified, and whether Ca(2+)-independent ABA signaling mechanisms suffice for a full response remains unclear. Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) have been proposed to contribute to central signal transduction responses in plants. However, no Arabidopsis CDPK gene disruption mutant phenotype has been reported to date, likely due to overlapping redundancies in CDPKs. Two Arabidopsis guard cellāexpressed CDPK genes, CPK3 and CPK6, showed gene disruption phenotypes. ABA and Ca(2+) activation of slow-type anion channels and, interestingly, ABA activation of plasma membrane Ca(2+)-permeable channels were impaired in independent alleles of single and double cpk3cpk6 mutant guard cells. Furthermore, ABA- and Ca(2+)-induced stomatal closing were partially impaired in these cpk3cpk6 mutant alleles. However, rapid-type anion channel current activity was not affected, consistent with the partial stomatal closing response in double mutants via a proposed branched signaling network. Imposed Ca(2+) oscillation experiments revealed that Ca(2+)-reactive stomatal closure was reduced in CDPK double mutant plants. However, long-lasting Ca(2+)-programmed stomatal closure was not impaired, providing genetic evidence for a functional separation of these two modes of Ca(2+)-induced stomatal closing. Our findings show important functions of the CPK6 and CPK3 CDPKs in guard cell ion channel regulation and provide genetic evidence for calcium sensors that transduce stomatal ABA signaling
Transcriptomic Signatures of Ash (Fraxinus spp.) Phloem
Ash (Fraxinus spp.) is a dominant tree species throughout urban and forested landscapes of North America (NA). The rapid invasion of NA by emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis), a wood-boring beetle endemic to Eastern Asia, has resulted in the death of millions of ash trees and threatens billions more. Larvae feed primarily on phloem tissue, which girdles and kills the tree. While NA ash species including black (F. nigra), green (F. pennsylvannica) and white (F. americana) are highly susceptible, the Asian species Manchurian ash (F. mandshurica) is resistant to A. planipennis perhaps due to their co-evolutionary history. Little is known about the molecular genetics of ash. Hence, we undertook a functional genomics approach to identify the repertoire of genes expressed in ash phloem.Using 454 pyrosequencing we obtained 58,673 high quality ash sequences from pooled phloem samples of green, white, black, blue and Manchurian ash. Intriguingly, 45% of the deduced proteins were not significantly similar to any sequences in the GenBank non-redundant database. KEGG analysis of the ash sequences revealed a high occurrence of defense related genes. Expression analysis of early regulators potentially involved in plant defense (i.e. transcription factors, calcium dependent protein kinases and a lipoxygenase 3) revealed higher mRNA levels in resistant ash compared to susceptible ash species. Lastly, we predicted a total of 1,272 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 980 microsatellite loci, among which seven microsatellite loci showed polymorphism between different ash species.The current transcriptomic data provide an invaluable resource for understanding the genetic make-up of ash phloem, the target tissue of A. planipennis. These data along with future functional studies could lead to the identification/characterization of defense genes involved in resistance of ash to A. planipennis, and in future ash breeding programs for marker development
