Multiplex Analysis of the Activation of the Immune System after Transection of the Rat’s Sciatic Nerve

© 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.In this study, using the model of sciatic nerve transection in rats, the cytokine profile of peripheral blood serum and rat sciatic nerve fragments was measured 3, 7 and 14 days after the injury. Histological analysis of sciatic nerve longitudinal sections was carried out at the same periods of time. The cytokine profile of peripheral blood serum of an intact rat as well as the cytokine profile of an intact homogenized sciatic nerve of a rat was examined. Comparative study of changes in quantitative measures before and after the injury was carried out. It was shown that in peripheral blood serum after the sciatic nerve transection, there was a change in quantitative measures of IL­1a, Leptin, IL6, MCP1, and MIP­2. In the samples of the rat sciatic nerve, the changes were found in the levels of EGF, Fractalkine, G­CSF, IFNg, IL10, IL17A, IL18, IL2, IL6, IP10, Leptin, LIX, MCP1, MIP­1a, MIP­2, and RANTES

Regeneration of rat sciatic nerve using tubulation and allogeneic transplantation of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells

The effectiveness of application of biodegradable conduit (NeuraGen; INTEGRA, USA) in combination with adipose derived multipotent mesenchymal stem cells and fibrin sealant (Tissucol-Kit; Baxter AG, Austria) on posttraumatic peripheral nerve regeneration was investigated using a rat model of sciatic nerve injury. We demonstrate that our proposed cell therapy confers a neuroprotective effect under our experimental design

Spend strategic analysis and calculation of the cost of thermal energy in combined mode and the non-hybrid generation in comparison with alternative boiler. The resulting cost of thermal energy from alternative boiler can be used to calculate the radius of the effective thermal heat energy Kazan

Evaluating the effectiveness of energy efficiency programs. Problems of energy saving in heating

In order to ensure long-term stability of the economy and the population of all types of energy required science-based and accepted by society and government institutes a longterm energy policy. Planning for energy conservation and energy efficiency must be built into the general policies of the country, the region, municipality, since the process is the most energy-saving priority energy policy. In this connection the development of energy efficiency programs and energy efficiency at all levels of government

Innovations in energy storage

The development of energy storage and storage systems is becoming a potential method for solving the problems of the global energy system. However, there are technical and non-technical barriers to the widespread distribution of energy storage devices. In this regard, it is necessary to identify innovative processes, mechanisms and systems that allow developments in the field of energy storage to contribute to solving the problems of the energy system, as well as to ensure industrial growth at the expense of companies engaged in the development of technologies. This article discusses current advances and trends in energy storage innovation. The scientific novelty of the article consists in a comprehensive review of the current state of affairs in this area and the determination of the main directions of development

A method for construction of an energy-efficient ice floating pier in the Arctic using hardened ice

This paper presents studies on increasing the ice strength using various additives. It is indicated that addition of wood fiber (artificial composition) and vegetable fiber (natural composition - frozen peat) to ice is an energy-efficient method to increase its strength. This enhances the possibilities of using ice during building and construction works in the Arctic. As an example, the authors proposed a floating ice pier design

Exchange Spring in a Heterostructure with Pd<inf>0.96</inf>Fe<inf>0.04</inf> Low-Temperature Ferromagnet

© 2019, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd. Abstract: The exchange bias of the magnetic hysteresis loop and the exchange-spring effect have been observed in thin-film heterostructures comprising layers of Pd0.96Fe0.04 low-temperature ferromagnet, metallic cobalt, and cobalt monoxide (CoO) grown on single-crystalline sapphire by methods of magnetron sputtering and molecular beam epitaxy in an ultrahigh-vacuum system. It is established that the exchange anisotropy of Pd0.96Fe0.04 layer in Pd0.96Fe0.04/CoO/Co/Al2O3 thin-film heterostructure is absent and the exchange-spring effect in this system is not manifested. In the case of a Pd0.96Fe0.04/Co/CoO/Al2O3 structure, it is shown that, according to the results of magnetometric measurements, the inversion of the order of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic layers leads to pinning of the magnetic moment of Pd0.96Fe0.04 layer at the interface with cobalt and to realization of the exchange-spring effect. Additional evidence in favor of this interpretation was obtained using the micromagnetic modeling of magnetic hysteresis loops
