Volcano–Plutonic Complex of the Tumrok Range (Eastern Kamchatka): An Example of the Ural-Alaskan Type Intrusion and Related Volcanic Series

Zoned plutons, composed of dunites, pyroxenites, and gabbroic rocks, have been referred to as the Ural-Alaskan type complexes (UA-complexes) and occur in numerous paleo-arc settings worldwide. Many of these complexes are source rocks for economic placers of platinum-group metals. Thus, it is important to understand how UA-complexes form and the origin and behavior of platinum-group elements (PGEs). It is widely assumed that the UA-complexes result from differentiation of supra-subduction high-Ca high-Mg sub-alkaline magmas. However, there is a lack of direct evidence for the existence and differentiation of such magmas, mainly because cases of UA-complexes being spatially and temporally linked to co-genetic volcanics are unknown. We studied an UA-complex from the Tumrok range (Eastern Kamchatka) where a dunite-clinopyroxenite-gabbro assemblage is spatially and temporary related to high-Ca volcanics (i.e., picrites and basalts). Based on the mineral and chemical composition of the rocks, mineral chemistry, and composition of melt inclusions hosted within rock-forming minerals, we conclude that the intrusive assemblage and the volcanics are co-genetic and share the same parental magma of ankaramitic composition. Furthermore, the compositions of the plutonic rocks are typical of UA-complexes worldwide. Finally, the rocks studied exhibit a full differentiation sequence from olivine-only liquidus in picrites and dunites to eutectic crystallization of diopside or hornblende, plagioclase, and K-Na feldspar in plagio-wehrlites and gabbroic rocks. All these results make the considered volcano–plutonic complex a promising case for petrological studies and modelling of UA-complex formation

Properties of Calcium Phosphate/Hydrogel Bone Grafting Composite on the Model of Diaphyseal Rat Femur’s Defect: Experimental Study

Background. The problem of bone defects replacement is relevant nowadays, that is why many scientists create new synthetic bone substitutes, but the ideal material has not been found so far. The aims of the study: 1) to determine the suitability of the monocortical defect model in the rat femur diaphysis with additional prophylactic reinforcement with a bone plate for assessing the biological properties of implanted materials using the commercially available ChronOS material as an example; 2) to assess of the osteoconductive properties of composite materials based on poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate and octacalcium phosphate with architecture Kelvin and gyroid types on the developed model. Methods. A prospective study, level of evidence II. A monocortical defect of the rat femoral diaphysis (length 7 mm) was produced under anaesthesia in aseptic conditions and fixed with a polyetheretherketone plate and six titanium screws. In the control group, the defect was left empty. In other groups, blocks of one of three materials were implanted сhronOS and composites of poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate and octacalcium phosphate with 3D-printed Kelvin and gyroid architectures. After 3 and 6 weeks, the rats were sacrificed, and histological examination of the defect zone was performed. The amount of newly formed bone tissue was histometricly assessed, followed by statistical processing of the results. Results. All rats have reached the planned endpoint, and there were no infectious complications or loss of fixation. Histological examination of the defect zone revealed minimal bone growth in the Control group, rather slow bone formation in the Gyroid group, and statistically significantly more pronounced bone formation in the pores of the materials in the Kelvin and Chronos groups. Conclusions. Bone defect in this model was not spontaneously filled with bone tissue and allowed us to study the biological properties of bone substitutes (the ability to biodegrade and osteoconductive properties). The osteoconductive properties of a composite material based on poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate and octacalcium phosphate with a Kelvin architecture are higher than with a gyroid architecture and are comparable to that of the сhronOS

Development and Research of A Virtual Test Bench for Electric Impedance Tomography Channel Main Components Simulation

When developing and determining the principles of construction and algorithms for the operation of electrical impedance tomography devices, it is necessary to verify the adequacy of the adopted circuitry solutions, their technical level and the possibility of practical implementation. To assess the technical capabilities and operating parameters of the device and its components, it is advisable to develop specialized tools for research and adjustment. Considering that the devices for electrical impedance tomography being developed are hardware and software solutions, and their components are complete electronic units that interact with each other, it seems possible to develop an experimental bench.The development of a virtual automated experimental bench for preliminary tests of the main components of the electrical impedance tomography channel is proposed. On the basis of the operating principles of the hardware bench, the principles of building a virtual bench are formulated. The correspondence of the main elements of hardware and virtual benches in terms of their functional purpose is shown.For each of the software components of the virtual bench, input actions and output parameters are determined.A schematic diagram of the analog part of the electrical impedance tomography channel has been developed to test the performance of the virtual bench. Studies have shown that the developed virtual bench is suitable for preliminary testing of all analog components of the channel.The use of the developed virtual bench will allow optimizing the time and material costs for conducting experimental research in the process of developing hardware for technical means of electrical impedance tomograph

Development of a power supply for multi-angle electric impedance tomography complex

In the present work, the development of a multi-channel power supply for the hardware part of the hardware-software complex of multiangle electric impedance tomography is considered. The requirements for the developed module are considered based on the selected hardware components, as well as the patient and medical personnel safety requirements, taking into account the standards developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission. Taking into account the formulated requirements, a structural, electrical schematic diagram of the power supply was developed, as well as a printed circuit board and an assembly drawing, and a prototype model was built. The issues of patient and medical personnel safety during the research using the multi-angle electric impedance tomography method with the use of the developed module are considered, including in the case of joint use with electrosurgical devices or defibrillators

Nanoparticles of Cerium Dioxide – an Effective Antiviral Agent and Adjuvant of Biologically Active Molecules

There was studied the influence of cerium dioxide nanoparticles on the cytokines production in the conditions of their application in the composition with interferon and as an independent drug. Applying the CDN in combination with IFN showed an increased interferon response of experimental mice compared with unmodified IFN. IFN-CDN nanobiocomplex does not increase the level of TNF production, which indirectly indicates the safety of the applying of such complex. There was studied the effect of CDN as a therapeutic agent on the cytokines production in the treatment of modeled herpes simplex virus-1 infection. It was found that CDN is able to increase IFN and TNF levels and prolong their effects. It was found that NDC is able to increase the level of IFN and FNP and prolong their effects. The application of CDN caused increasing of TNF levels and their prolonging action. There was shown the significant increasing (to three weeks) in IFN titers on the step of decreasing in TNF titers in the group, that was infected and then treated with NCD. In the non-treated group and in the aciclovir-treated animal group, IFN titers were significantly lower.The obtained results testify to the effectiveness of NDC as a modifying agent for interferon and as a promising agent for the treatment of systemic herpetic infectio
