Analysis of prevalence of risk factor of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in the Buryat Republic

The purpose of this study is to assess the prevalence of major risk factors for the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), such as the morbidity of the population of the Buryat Republic with diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, arterial hypertension (AH). The study used the statistical datafor 2008-2012. It is revealed that the growth rates of the incidence of diabetes mellitus is 18% higher in the Buryat Republic than in Russia; the incidence of obesity of the total population of the Buryat Republic exceeds 34%, the incidence of obesity in the Russian Federation; the morbidity of essential hypertension in the Buryat Republic exceeds the arterial hypertension incidence for Russian Federation on 13%

Naydanova, Educational and Methodical Center of Chelyabinsk, South Ural State University, Chelyabinsk, Russian Federation, [email protected]Мобильность, безусловно, является необходимым качеством современного человека, который хочет быть успешным в жизнедеятельности, проявлять свои возможности и реализовывать свои потребности в социально приемлемом русле. Современные ученые признают важность воспитания мобильности личности в условиях образовательного процесса. Нам кажется, что начинать работу по воспитанию мобильности можно в школе, подготавливая, таким образом, обучающихся к жизни в постоянно меняющемся мире. Данная статья посвящена интерпретации особенностей воспитания мобильности личности школьников на основе педагогического наследия Я.А. Коменского – великого чешского философа, мыслителя и педагога семнадцатого столетия, а именно предложенного им принципа активности. Для достижения поставленной цели были использованы методы теоретического анализа актуальности воспитания мобильности личности, нормативно-правовых и инструктивно-методических документов в сфере основного общего образования, конкретизации основных направлений воспитания мобильности личности школьников. Результатом статьи можно считать выявленные направления воспитания мобильности личности школьников (в процессе обучения и вне его), а также уточнение функций педагогов по каждому из направлений. Научная новизна состоит в предложении автором двух направлений воспитания мобильности личности школьников, каждое из которых имеет свои особенности. Практическая новизна изложенных в статье результатов заключается в уточнении специфики деятельности педагогов в воспитании мобильности личности обучающихся, которая может стать основой для работы заинтересованных в этом педагогов-практиков. Mobility is certainly a necessary quality of a modern person, who wants to be successful in life, to realize his needs and potential. Modern scientists recognize the importance of the development of personality mobility of schoolchildren in the educational process. We think that the development of the personality mobility can be started at school, preparing students for life in a changing world. This article focuses on the interpretation of the development of personality mobility features of schoolchildren based on the pedagogical principle of activity, introduced by J.A. Comenius – a great Czech philosopher, thinker and teacher of the seventeenth century. To achieve this goal the analysis of the literature on the development of personality mobility of schoolchildren and the analysis of legal and methodical documents in the field of general education were made. The paper identified the areas of the development of personality mobility of schoolchildren both in the educational process and during the extracurricular activities. It also clarified the teachers’ functions in each area. The author defines two areas of the development of personality mobility of schoolchildren, each having its own characteristics. The results can be used in the professional activity of teachers interested in the development of the personality mobility of schoolchildren

Beryllium strain under dynamic loading

There are some data (not much) on dynamic characteristics of beryllium that are important, for example, when estimating construction performance at NPP emergencies. A number of data on stress-strain curves, spall strength, shear strength, fracture and structure responses of shock loaded beryllium have obtained in US and Russian laboratories. For today the model description of this complex metal behavior does not have a reasonable agreement with the experimental data, thus a wider spectrum of experimental data is required. This work presents data on dynamic compression-test diagrams of Russian beryllium. Experiments are performed using Hopkinson bar method (SHPB). Strain rates were ε ∼ 103 s−1

Dynamic tension of aluminum alloy AMg-6 in a facility of Split Hopkinson Bar

The results are presented to create a facility for studying dynamic tension of structural materials by using the Split Hopkinson Bar Method (SHB method). The explosive method of loading and a cylindrical corner-rounding sample are used in a facility. A sample has threads at both end faces and it fastened in rods by the help of threads. The results of test experiments are presented in the facility for studying dynamic tension of the aluminum alloy AMg-6 at strain rates of 1160-1450 s-1. The diagrams of dynamic tension σ-ε were built. The data on peculiarities of deformation AMg-6 were gained

Stenting and cell technologies in the treatment of atherosclerotic renovascular hypertension Part 2. Effectiveness and safety of postnatal

Aim. To assess effectiveness and safety of stem cell auto-transplantation (SCT) into renal and vertebral arteries among patients with renovascular hypertension (RVH) lasting over 10 years.Material and methods. Seventy-eight patients were randomized into main (MG, n=26) and placebo groups (PG, n=52). Primary end-point was systolic blood pressure (SBP) level. Secondary end-points included: restenosis incidence; glomerular filtration rate (GFR); effective renal plasma flow (ERPF); creatinine level and microalbuminuria (MAU); quality of life (QoL); renal biopsy and immuno-hystochemical assay data; renal vessel calcification; cerebral metabolism level.Results. Restenosis at 12 months was observed in 17% of both MG and CG patients; repeated revascularization was needed in 8%. Stenting resulted in average BP decrease from 181/107 to 142/93 mm Hg; after 6 weeks, no patient achieved target BP levels. After SCT into both renal arteries, BP normalization was achieved in 61% of MG participants. Only 23% of regenerated renal tissue originated from transplanted SC (trans-differentiation), the rest originated from local tissues (de-differentiation). After 50-55 weeks, in 37-39% of the patients Stage I AH was observed. At 6-8 weeks after SCT into both vertebral arteries, cerebral metabolism increased, and BP normalized, reducing from 138/90 to 119/69 mm Hg.Conclusion. SCT plays an important role in renal artery thrombosis prevention and RVH control. Renal and vertebral artery SCT solves the problems of nephron destruction and renal tissue fibrosis, atherosclerosis treatment and harmful cerebral influences. Remaining problems include target organ damage and genetic defects

Stenting and cell technologies in the treatment of atherosclerotic renovascular hypertension Part 1. Effectiveness and safety of renal artery stenting in ischemic kidney disease

Aim. To assess renal artery stenting (RAS) effectiveness and safety in patients with renovascular hypertension (RVH) duration over 10 years.Material and methods. Seventy-eight patients were randomized into main (n=26) and placebo groups (n=52). Primary end-point was systolic blood pressure (SBP) level. Secondary end-points included: restenosis incidence; glomerular filtration rate (GFR); effective renal plasma flow (ERPF); creatinine level and microalbuminuria (MAU); quality of life (QoL); renal biopsy and immuno-hystochemical assay data; renal vessel calcification; cerebral metabolism level.Results. RAS resulted in average BP decrease from 181/107 to 142/93 mm Hg; after 6 weeks, no patient achieved target BP levels. Restenosis at 12 months was observed in 17% of the patients from both groups; another RAS was needed in 8%. According to dynamic nephroscintigraphy results, GFR reduced by 5% (p<0,05), and ERPF - by 3% (p<0,05). Creatinine level decreased by 3% (p<0,01), and MAU - by 7% (p<0,05). Assessed by SF-36 questionnaire, QoL was normal in 14- 29% only.Conclusion. RAS remains an ineffective method of RVH treatment, even though it prevents renal artery thrombosis and improves RVH control to some extent
