8He Spectroscopy in Stopped Pion Absorption By 9Be

Level structure of 8He has been studied in the reaction of stopped pion absorption by 9Be nuclei. The missing mass spectrum in the range 0 MeV ≤ MM ≤ 10 MeV has been described by the superposition of phase-space distributions and the three states of 8He. Parameters of these states have been compared with data of other experimental and theoretical works

Phytopathological screening and molecular marker analysis of wheat germplasm from Kazakhstan and CIMMYT for resistance to tan spot

Tan spot caused by the fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis is an important leaf spot disease in wheat growing areas throughout the world. The study aims to identify wheat germplasm resistant to tan spot based on phytopathological screening and molecular marker analysis. A collection of 64 common wheat germplasms, including cultivars and breeding lines from Kazakhstan and CIMMYT, was assessed for tan spot resistance in greenhouse conditions and characterized using the Xfcp623 molecular marker, diagnostic for the Tsn1 gene. All wheat cultivars/lines varied in their reaction to tan spot isolate race 1, ranging from susceptible to resistant. Most accessions studied (53 %) were susceptible to Ptr race 1. Spring wheat cultivars were more susceptible to race 1 than winter wheat cultivars. As a result of genotyping, an insensitive reaction to Ptr ToxA was predicted in 41 wheat cultivars (64 %). The tsn1 gene carriers identified included 27 Kazakhstani and 14 CIMMYT cultivars/lines, demonstrating insensitivity to Ptr ToxA. The majority of the Tsn1 genotype were sensitive to race 1 and showed susceptibility to the pathogen in the field. Disease scores from seedling stage positively correlated with field disease ratings. Of particular interest are 27 wheat accessions that demonstrated resistance to spore inoculation by Ptr race 1, were characterized by insensitivity to ToxA and showed field resistance to the pathogen. The results of this study will contribute to wheat breeding programs for tan spot resistance with Marker Assisted Selection using the closely flanking markers

THE PARAMETERS OF THE HEMOSTATIC SYSTEM, GENE POLYMORPHISMS IN CHILDREN WITH THROMBOTIC EVENTS IN THE PEDIATRIC CLINIC OF NOVOSIBIRSK STATE REGIONAL CLINICAL HOSPITAL

The aim of the research was to study the effect of genetic predictors of thrombotic/ischemic events in children with the developed complications and born mature or premature. Material and methods. A prospective follow-up monitoring of 47 patients (inpatients of the State Novosibirsk Regional Clinical Hospital) with thrombotic complications, the analysis of their medical records were carried out. The homeostasis system parameters, carriage of polymorphic variants of genes predisposing to thrombotic complications were accomplished for the children during the follow-up period. Results and discussion. Thrombotic and/or related ischemic events are more common in premature infants, herewith the severe cerebral ischemia and venous thrombosis localized in various vessels predominated over these complications. The state of the blood coagulation system in children with thrombotic/ischemic events is characterized by hypercoagulation shifts in the external and internal cascades of blood coagulation and accompanied by the increase in the D-dimers level. Among polymorphic variants of genes of hemostasis system the occurrence of polymorphic variant FV Leiden (rs6025) is higher in the study group compared to the European population (χ2 = 7.454; p = 0.025). The obtained data indicate the need for extended diagnostic studies of hemostasis system and genetic search for «thrombogenic» predisposition in children, especially premature, residing in intensive care units for the presence of thrombotic readiness in order to timely predict the development of possible thrombotic and ischemic complications

Cardiopulmonary factors associated with atrial fibrillation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Aim. To study the relationships between clinical and functional features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and status of cardiovascular system with focus on identifying factors associated with the atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with COPD.Material and methods. Patients (n=94) with COPD out of exacerbation and airways obstruction of 2-4 degree (GOLD 2013) were examined. The spirometry, daily pulse oximetry, 24-hour ECG and blood pressure monitoring with vascular wall stiffness estimation, echocardiography were performed. Levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) werealso assessed.Results. AF paroxysms were found in 46 patients, including newly diagnosed ones in 22 patients. According to the results of multiple correlation analysis, the frequency of AF paroxysms correlated with forced expiratory volume in 1 sec (FEV1) (R=-0.348; p=0.013), minimum oxygen saturation of the blood (min%SpO2) (R=-0.356; p=0.011), CRP level (R=0.442; p=0.001), the sizes of both atria (p<0.001), isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) of left ventricle (LV) (R=0.350; p=0.022), the right ventricle (RV) size (R=0.478; p<0.001), systolic blood pressure level in the pulmonary artery (PASP) (р<0.001), vascular stiffness - pulse wave velocity in aorta (PWao) (p=0.001). The influence of FEV1 on the left atrium volume index (χ2=7.0; p=0.008) and IVRT LV (χ2=7.9; p=0.005) was revealed. Correlations between min%SpO2 and IVRT and PWao were observed.Conclusion. Severe bronchial obstruction, hypoxemia, systemic inflammation with increase in vascular stiffness (PWao) and myocardium remodeling (increase in the sizes of both atria, PASP, RV size and diastolic dysfunction of LV) are the factors that associated with the occurrence of AF in patients with COPD

Взаимосвязи в системе мать – плацента – ребенок при состоянии тромботической готовности и гематогенных тромбофилиях

The purpose of this study is to understand the relationships in the mother-placenta-child system in case of hematogenous thrombophilia and thrombotic state of readiness in pregnant women.Materials and methods. The research group consisted of 454 patients, was divided into two subgroups: the 1st subgroup included 225 women (pregnant and, subsequently, obstetric patients) and the 2nd subgroup included their 229 infants who were in the perinatal center of State Novosibirsk Regional Clinical Hospital. At 3–5 days of life 75 newborns from the 2nd sub-group underwent hemostatic system assessment. 42 healthy newborns from somatically healthy mothers (without thrombophilia) were included in the control group. The assessment of their hemostatic system was carried out to determine the performance of reference values.Results. The relationships between the health condition of newborns and hemostatic system disorders in mothers with thrombotic state of readiness, hematogenous thrombophilia, and morphohistological changes in the placenta were studied. The researchers analyzed labour and delivery records, pathomorphological examination of a placenta, neonatal records, and assessed the hemostatic system. A number of complications were detected during a gestational process and an early neonatal period. The correlation analysis has established a relationship in the mother – placenta – child system in a number of factors affecting children’s health outcomes. To correct above mentioned abnormalities preventive measures can be taken. They allow to avert the development of perinatal complications in case of hematogenous thrombophilia and (or) thrombotic readiness.Цель исследования – выявление взаимосвязей в системе мать – плацента – ребенок при наличии гематогенной тромбофилии и (или) состоянии тромботической готовности у женщин во время беременности.Материал и методы. В группу исследования были включены 454 пациента, распределенных на две подгруппы: 1-я – 225 женщин (беременных и в последующем рожениц) и 2-я – 229 их новорожденных, находившихся в отделениях перинатального центра ГБУЗ НСО «Государственная Новосибирская областная клиническая больница». На 3–5-е сут жизни 75 новорожденным из 2-й подгруппы проведено исследование показателей системы гемостаза. В группу контроля входили 42 здоровых новорожденных от соматически здоровых матерей (без тромбофилии). Им проведено исследование системы гемостаза для определения показателей референсных значений.Результаты. Изучены взаимосвязи между нарушениями системы гемостаза у матерей с состоянием тромботической готовности, гематогенной тромбофилией, морфогистологическими изменениями в последе и состоянием здоровья новорожденных. Проведены анализ историй родов, патоморфологического исследования последа и историй развития новорожденных, оценка системы гемостаза. Выявлен ряд осложнений в течении гестационного процесса и раннего неонатального периода. Корреляционный анализ установил наличие взаимосвязей в системе мать – плацента – ребенок по ряду факторов, влияющих на показатели состояния здоровья детей. Для коррекции указанных нарушений могут быть применены на практике профилактические мероприятия, позволяющие предупреждать развитие перинатальных осложнений при гематогенной тромбофилии и (или) тромботической готовности

Risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and heart remodeling in sambo veterans

Introduction. The benefits of exercise for the cardiovascular system are apparent. However, the influence of predominantly strength exercises throughout life has not been sufficiently studied. This work details the studies around the structure and function of the heart in sambo veteran athletes residing in the Russian Federation (RF) and the Azerbaijan Republic (AR) as well as the frequency of risk factors for their cardiovascular system.Methods. We examined 55 male athletes aged 45.4 ± 8.3 yrs: 24 sambo veterans from RF (group “RF”), 10 sambo veterans from AR (group “AR”) and 21 persons representing control group (“CG”) (chess, bowling), RF. Questionnaires, analysis of ideal health factors, recording of electrocardiogram in 12 leads, echocardiography, stress test with oxygen analysis were carried out.Results. Maximum exercise power and peak oxygen consumption were higher in the “RF” and “AR” groups compared to the “CG” group. The main abnormalities were hypertrophy of interventricular septum (n = 11, 32.3 %) and left ventricular wall (n = 3, 8.8 %). Concentric left ventricular remodeling was predominant in the “AR” group (5 vs. 1, p < 0.05) and greater left ventricular volume in the “RF” group (65.1 vs. 52.0 ml/m2, p < 0.05). Lower physical performance and the presence of dyslipidemia were significantly associated with parameters reflecting concentric left ventricular remodeling (“AR” group). Various ideal health factors were absent in 10–80 % of the examinees. A total of 7 (20.6 %) veterans were found to have a high risk of cardiovascular diseases according to the questionnaire.Conclusion. Prolonged wrestling exercises allow veterans to maintain high aerobic capacity. Concentric remodeling of myocardium of the left ventricle is combined with higher indices of dyslipidemia in the group “AR” which may be connected to low physical activity and eating habits after sport practice
