Topics on n-ary algebras

We describe the basic properties of two n-ary algebras, the Generalized Lie Algebras (GLAs) and, particularly, the Filippov (or n-Lie) algebras (FAs), and comment on their n-ary Poisson counterparts, the Generalized Poisson (GP) and Nambu-Poisson (N-P) structures. We describe the Filippov algebra cohomology relevant for the central extensions and infinitesimal deformations of FAs. It is seen that semisimple FAs do not admit central extensions and, moreover, that they are rigid. This extends the familiar Whitehead's lemma to all $n\geq 2$ FAs, n=2 being the standard Lie algebra case. When the n-bracket of the FAs is no longer required to be fully skewsymmetric one is led to the n-Leibniz (or Loday's) algebra structure. Using that FAs are a particular case of n-Leibniz algebras, those with an anticommutative n-bracket, we study the class of n-Leibniz deformations of simple FAs that retain the skewsymmetry for the first n-1 entires of the n-Leibniz bracket.Comment: 11 page

Cohomology of Filippov algebras and an analogue of Whitehead's lemma

We show that two cohomological properties of semisimple Lie algebras also hold for Filippov (n-Lie) algebras, namely, that semisimple n-Lie algebras do not admit non-trivial central extensions and that they are rigid i.e., cannot be deformed in Gerstenhaber sense. This result is the analogue of Whitehead's Lemma for Filippov algebras. A few comments about the n-Leibniz algebras case are made at the end.Comment: plain latex, no figures, 29 page

Monitoring of coronavirus infection in the kyrgyz population

Purpose of the study: to study the dynamics of developing herd immunity against SARS-CoV-2 in the population of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan during COVID-19. Materials and methods. The work was carried out using the methodology for assessing population immunity developed by Rospotrebnadzor (Russia) as well as the Ministry of Health (Kypgyzstan) and the St. Petersburg Pasteur Institute. The selection of participants was carried out by questionnaire using a cloud (Internet server) service. To monitor population immunity, a cohort of 2421 subjects was formed, who participated in all stages of seromonitoring. Volunteers were randomized according to age groups (1–17, 18–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, 70+ years), regional and professional factors. Antibodies (Abs) against SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (Nc) and the receptor binding domain (RBD) of S-glycoprotein were determined by qualitative and quantitative methods. The study was carried out in 3 stages according to a single scheme: 1st stage — 06/28–07/03/2021, 2nd — 21–25/02/2022 and 3rd — 31/10–04/11/2022. Since 2021, Kyrgyzstan has been vaccinating the population against SARS-CoV-2 mainly using inactivated whole-virion vaccines. Results. Population immunity against SARS-CoV-2 was predominantly accounted for by both Ab types (Nc+RBD+). By the 3rd stage, the percentage of such persons reached 99.2%, Nc–RBD– volunteers — up to 0.8%. At the 1st stage, middle-aged people dominated, but age differences were leveled out by the 2nd stage. The greatest impact on seroprevalence was found among medical workers, the smallest — among businessmen and industrial workers. Populational vaccination significantly impacted on the state of herd immunity that reached 25% by the 3rd stage. The refusals of the population in Kyrgyz Republic from vaccination noted at the 2nd and especially 3rd stages did not significantly affect level of herd immunity, which could probably be associated with asymptomatic cases of COVID-19, against which primary vaccination had a booster effect. Conclusion. The dynamics of population humoral immunity against SARS-CoV-2 included a number of changes in the level of circulating antibodies (Nc, RBD), caused by both primary infection and vaccination. The herd immunity formed in population of Kyrgyzstan allowed to reduce the incidence of COVID-19 to almost sporadic level

Изучение взаимосвязей экспрессии молекулярных маркеров на опухолевых и иммунокомпетентных клетках с чувствительностью к адъювантной и неоадъювантной терапии рака мочевого пузыря

Use of immunotherapy in treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer remains the most promising method in case of impossibility of chemotherapy with cisplatin or progression during cisplatin treatment. This approach is the method of choice and can prolong patient’s life. In particular, use of checkpoint inhibitors allows to obtain effective treatment of bladder cancer. However, to prescribe immunotherapeutic medication, patient must have point of application for these drugs. Individualized approach will allow to increase treatment effectiveness and disease prognosis while maximally improving the quality of life.Применение иммунотерапии в лечении мышечно-инвазивного рака мочевого пузыря остается наиболее перспективным методом в случае невозможности проведения химиотерапии цисплатином или прогрессирования на фоне лечения последним. Этот метод является методом выбора и может продлить жизнь больного. В частности, использование ингибиторов контрольных точек позволяет реализовать эффективное лечение рака мочевого пузыря. Однако для назначения иммунных препаратов необходимо наличие у пациента точек приложения действия этих средств. Именно персонифицированный подход позволит приумножить эффективность лечения и прогнозирования течения заболевания, максимально воздействуя на улучшение качества жизни

Hepatitis E Virus SeroprevalencE among Different Age Groups of the Healthy Population of Kyrgyzstan

Knowledge regarding distribution of serological markers of Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) infection in the population of endemic regions is an important indicator of the public health and hygiene. The aim of this study was to determine seroprevalence of HEV among different age groups of the population in Kyrgyzstan regions. 648 serum samples of persons without liver pathology received in December 2014 to February 2015 was tested by immunoassay kit «DS-EIA-ANTI-HEV-G» (Diagnostic systems, Russia). IgG antibodies to HEV were detected in 4.8% (n = 31) of the examined samples. An analysis of the level of seropositivity in different regions and in different age groups of the population was made. The greatest number of seropositive persons were identified in Bishkek and Chuskaya oblast. The antibodies were detected most frequently in individuals aged 1 to 5, 15 to 19 years old and older than 50 years old. The obtained data indicate the constant virus circulation in Kyrgyzstan in interepidemic period
