FEATURES OF OUTFLOW OF INTRAOCULAR LIQUID AFTER AN EKSIMERLAZER SKLEREKTOMY (PILOT STUDY)
Modern approaches to surgical glaucoma treatment is based on the safe and effective methods. In recent years, great attention is paid to the techniques of stimulating uveoscleral path outtake aqueous humor from the eye. Uveoscleral space in the extended outflow pathways is dominant and constitutes about 72%. Sclera is a field of the greatest interest, as the end stages of the outflow of aqueous humor via the uveoscleral path. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of excimer laser sclerectomy on the drainage function of the eye and development of a mathematical model based on the permeability of the sclera of the amount of laser ablation at a defined area of laser exposure and the level of IOP. Studies were conducted on 12 human cadaver eyes isolated person. The domestic excimer laser “MicroScan Vizum” with a wavelength of 193нм (0,193 µm) was used for the thinning of sclera. In the experiment used a special computer program provided ablation of scleral tissue, the scleral bed forming a rectangular shape with a size 7,0x5,0 mm. the Depth of influence started from 100 microns to 600 microns in increments of 50 µn. The exposure was carried out at a constant perfusion pressure of 25 mm Hg After each impact was measured of the coefficient ease the outflow. A correlation was established between the factor and effective features, i.e., between the excimer laser deep sclerectomy (µm) and ratio of lightness outflow (mm3/min/mm Hg.St). Thinning of the sclera leads to an improvement of its permeability and increasing the coefficient ease the outflow. A mathematical model, allowing to achieve the desired ratio of lightness outflow experiment by excimer laser sclerectomy was developed. The mathematical model has the form of the regression equation.The sclera is a promising object for further developments in the surgical treatment of glaucoma. Laser ablation of the sclera leads to an improvement of outflow via the uveoscleral path and reduce intraocular pressure
Net community oxygen production derived from Seaglider deployments at the Porcupine Abyssal Plain site (PAP; northeast Atlantic) in 2012-13
As part of the OSMOSIS project, a fleet of gliders surveyed the Porcupine Abyssal Plain site (Northeast Atlantic) from September 2012 to September 2013. Salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration and chlorophyll fluorescence were measured in the top 1000 m of the water column. Net community production (N) over an annual cycle using an oxygen-budget approach was compared to variations of several parameters (wind speed, mixing layer depth relative to euphotic depth, temperature, density, net heat flux) showing that the main theories (Critical Depth Hypothesis, Critical Turbulence Hypothesis, Heat-flux Hypothesis) can explain the switch between net heterotrophy to net autotrophy in different times of the year, The dynamics leading to an increase in productivity were related to shifts in regimes, such as the possible differences in nutrient concentration. The oxygen concentration profiles used for this study constitute a unique dataset spanning the entire productive season resulting in a data series longer than in previous studies. Net autotrophy was found at the site with a net production of (6.4±1.9) mol m-2 in oxygen equivalents (or (4.3±1.3) mol m-2 in carbon equivalents). The period exhibiting a deep chlorophyll maximum between 10 m and 40 m of depth contributed (1.5±0.5) mol m-2 in oxygen equivalent to the total N. These results are greater than most previously published estimates
European Society for Neurogastroenterology and Motility Consensus on Gastroparesis: What Issues Remain Unresolved?
Aim: to analyse the document of the European Society for Neurogastroenterology and Motility consensus on gastroparesis, held in 2020.Key findings. The evaluation of the voting results on the submitted statements of the consensus meeting shows that there is a high level of agreement among the experts regarding the definition of gastroparesis, the main diseases in which it occurs, and the existing diagnostic methods. At the same time, there is a divergence of views regarding the role of individual pathogenetic factors of gastroparesis and their relationship with clinical symptoms, as well as the effectiveness of drugs of various groups and other treatment methods.Conclusion. The pathophysiological mechanisms of gastroparesis and the effectiveness of various treatment methods need further research
Distribution of trace elements controlled by sector and growth zonings in zircon from a miaskite pegmatite of the Vishnegorsky massif, the Southern Urals
Data on the content and distribution of trace and rare-earth elements (SIMS method) in sectors and growth zones of a large zircon crystal from miaskite pegmatites of the Vishnegogorsky massif are presented. The morphology of the zircon crystal is a combination of a dipyramid {111} and prism {010}. It has been established that the growth sector of dipyramid {111} is characterized by almost one order of magnitude higher contents of Y, Nb, REE, Th; higher Th/U and Eu/Eu* values; REE distribution spectra are flatter compared to prism {010} growth sector. A regular decrease in the content of trace and rare-earth elements in the direction from the central zone to the marginal zone of crystal growth was revealed. A smooth regression of zircon crystallization temperature of zircon from 960 °C in the central zone to 740 °C in the marginal zone of the dipyramid sector and 700-650 °C in the prism sector has been revealed, which may be a reflection of thermal evolution of the crystallization process. It is assumed that crystallization of the central zone of zircon occurred at early stages from a relatively trace-еlement-rich melt. The crystallization was completed at lower temperatures, probably, simultaneously with the formation of REE-concentrating minerals, which resulted in natural decrease of content of trace and rare-earth elements in the melt and, consequently, in zircon crystallizing from it
DANSSino: a pilot version of the DANSS neutrino detector
DANSSino is a reduced pilot version of a solid-state detector of reactor
antineutrinos (to be created within the DANSS project and installed under the
industrial 3 GW(th) reactor of the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant -- KNPP).
Numerous tests performed at a distance of 11 m from the reactor core
demonstrate operability of the chosen design and reveal the main sources of the
background. In spite of its small size (20x20x100 ccm), the pilot detector
turned out to be quite sensitive to reactor antineutrinos, detecting about 70
IBD events per day with the signal-to-background ratio about unity.Comment: 16 pages, 11 figures, 3 tables. arXiv admin note: substantial text

Ocean nutrient pathways associated with passage of a storm
Storms that affect ocean surface layer dynamics and primary production are a frequent occurrence in the open North Atlantic Ocean. In this study we use an interdisciplinary dataset collected in the region to quantify nutrient supply by two pathways associated with a storm event: entrainment of nutrients during a period of high wind forcing and subsequent shear-spiking at the pycnocline due to interactions of storm generated inertial currents with wind. The post-storm increase in surface layer nitrate (by ~20 mmol m?2) was predominantly driven by the first pathway: nutrient intrusion during the storm. Alignment of post-storm inertial currents and surface wind stress caused shear instabilities at the ocean pycnocline, forming the second pathway for nutrient transport into the euphotic zone. During the alignment period, pulses of high turbulent nitrate flux through the pycnocline (up to 1 mmol m?2 day?1; approximately 25 times higher than the background flux) were detected. However, the impact of the post-storm supply was an order of magnitude lower than during the storm due to the short duration of the pulses. Cumulatively, the storm passage was equivalent to 2.5-5 % of the nitrate supplied by winter convection and had a significant effect compared to previously reported (sub)-mesoscale dynamics in the region. As storms occur frequently, they can form an important component in local nutrient budgets
Search for sterile neutrinos at the DANSS experiment
DANSS is a highly segmented 1~m plastic scintillator detector. Its 2500
one meter long scintillator strips have a Gd-loaded reflective cover. The DANSS
detector is placed under an industrial 3.1~ reactor of the
Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant 350~km NW from Moscow. The distance to the core is
varied on-line from 10.7~m to 12.7~m. The reactor building provides about 50~m
water-equivalent shielding against the cosmic background. DANSS detects almost
5000 per day at the closest position with the cosmic
background less than 3. The inverse beta decay process is used to detect
. Sterile neutrinos are searched for assuming the model
(3 active and 1 sterile ). The exclusion area in the plane is obtained using a ratio of positron energy
spectra collected at different distances. Therefore results do not depend on
the shape and normalization of the reactor spectrum, as well
as on the detector efficiency. Results are based on 966 thousand antineutrino
events collected at 3 distances from the reactor core. The excluded area covers
a wide range of the sterile neutrino parameters up to
in the most sensitive region.Comment: 10 pages, 13 figures, version accepted for publicatio
Cellulose acetate phthalate, a common pharmaceutical excipient, inactivates HIV-1 and blocks the coreceptor binding site on the virus envelope glycoprotein gp120
BACKGROUND: Cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP), a pharmaceutical excipient used for enteric film coating of capsules and tablets, was shown to inhibit infection by the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and several herpesviruses. CAP formulations inactivated HIV-1, herpesvirus types 1 (HSV-1) and 2 (HSV-2) and the major nonviral sexually transmitted disease (STD) pathogens and were effective in animal models for vaginal infection by HSV-2 and simian immunodeficiency virus. METHODS: Enzyme-linked immunoassays and flow cytometry were used to demonstrate CAP binding to HIV-1 and to define the binding site on the virus envelope. RESULTS: 1) CAP binds to HIV-1 virus particles and to the envelope glycoprotein gp120; 2) this leads to blockade of the gp120 V3 loop and other gp120 sites resulting in diminished reactivity with HIV-1 coreceptors CXCR4 and CCR5; 3) CAP binding to HIV-1 virions impairs their infectivity; 4) these findings apply to both HIV-1 IIIB, an X4 virus, and HIV-1 BaL, an R5 virus. CONCLUSIONS: These results provide support for consideration of CAP as a topical microbicide of choice for prevention of STDs, including HIV-1 infection
