Кинетика химического осаждения сульфида цинка ZnS

The paper is devoted to kinetic methods of chemical bath deposition of zinc sulfide ZnS from aqueous alkaline solutions containing ehylenediamine complex zinc salt Zn(En)n 2+ and diamide of thiocarbonic acid N2H4CS. It is established that the rate of formation of ZnS is weakly dependent on pH, depends on the concentration of the precipitant ((N2H4CS) and decreases with increasing concentration of ligand (ethylenediamine). The calculation of the theoretical curves on the experimentally obtained kinetic equation shows a satisfactory description of experimental data that allows to recommend it to calculate the rate of formation of ZnS in aqueous alkaline solutions of N2H4CS.Работа посвящена исследованию кинетическими методами химического осаждения сульфида цинка ZnS из водных щелочных растворов, содержащих этилендиаминовую комплексную соль цинка Zn(En)n 2+ и диамид тиоугольной кислоты N2H4CS. Установлено, что скорость образования ZnS слабо зависит от величины рН, зависит от концентрации осадителя (N2H4CS) и уменьшается с увеличением концентрации лиганда (этилендиамина). Расчет теоретических кривых по полученному экспериментально кинетическому уравнению показывает удовлетворительное описание полученных экспериментальных данных, что позволяет рекомендовать его для расчета скорости образования ZnS в водных щелочных растворах N2H4CS.This work was done under financial support from RFBR (Project 16-03-00566).Работа выполнена при финансовой поддержке РФФИ (Проект № 16-03-00566)

Sirtuins and chemokines as markers of replicative and induced senescence of human endotheliocytes

Background. One of the factors of the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases is induced endothelial senescence. In this regard, the urgent task of molecular biology and medicine is the search for molecules that affect the process of vascular endotheliocytes senescence.The aim. To assess the expression of Sirt-1,3,6 and chemokines IL-4, CXCL11 in the replicative and induced senescence of human endotheliocytes.Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the primary culture of isolated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). HUVECs were cultured under conditions of replicative (natural) and lipopolysaccharide induced senescence.Results. The synthesis of Sirt-1,3,6, IL-4 and CXCL11 was evaluated using western blot analysis. We revealed a decrease in Sirt-1,3,6 synthesis by 1.6–1.8 times (р < 0.05) in the conditions of HUVEC replicative senescence. Induced senescence of endotheliocytes is characterized by a more pronounced decrease (1.7–3.4 times; р < 0.05) in the Sirt-1,3,6 synthesis. CXCL11 synthesis increases by 1.4 times (р < 0.05) in replicative and by 3.4 times (р < 0.05) in induced HUVEC senescence. IL-4 synthesis increases by 4.7 times in conditions of induced HUVEC senescence and doesn’t have changes in replicative senescence of endotheliocytes.Conclusion. These data obtained indicate that sirtuins and chemokines play an important role in the development of endothelial dysfunction observed in natural and induced senescence

Comparison of in vivo and in vitro preimplantation embryo development in OXYS and WAG rats

OXYS rats are the model of precocious senescence. Numerous studies addressed physiology and behavior in rats of this strain during a postnatal period of their life, however, preimplantation development in OXYS rats has not yet been investigated. This study is addressing preimplantation embryonic development in OXYS rats both in vivo and in vitro. Rats of the WAG strain were used as controls. For studying the in vivo development, the embryos were collected from OXYS and WAG rats on day 5 post coitum, the stages of embryo development were estimated, the percentage of embryos at blastocyst stage and the cell numbers in these blastocysts were counted. In a special experiment, for studying in vitro development, the embryos were collected from both rat strains on day 4 post coitum and were cultured in vitro in P1 medium for 48 hours with or without supplementation with IGF-1 (200 ng/mL). Thereafter the percentage of embryos at blastocyst stage and the cell numbers in these blastocysts were counted in the same manner as for the in vivo experiment. This study reports that in vivo derived blastocysts of OXYS rats contain fewer cells on day 5 of their development than in vivo derived blastocysts of WAG rats. In vitro culture of the early preimplantation embryos in P1 medium mitigated the difference in the rate of embryo development between these two strains, the addition of IGF-1 into culture medium exerts neither negative nor positive effect on the rate of in vitro embryo development in rats of both strains

Роль клещей Chortoglyphys Arcuatus (сем. Glycyphagidae) в формировании бронхиальной астмы

Ten children aged 7 to 14 have been observed for 4 years in Cheboksary city: 4 children had bronchial asthma (BA) and 6 ones had bronchial asthma combined with allergic rhinitis (AR). The bronchial asthma occurred early in all the patients (before 5-year age). Clinical course of the disease was characterized by polyorgan injury and its exacerbation did not contemporize to periods of existence of the Pyroglyphidus mites. Skin tests results and allergen-specific IgE-antibody levels revealed the prevalent sensitizing role of Ch.arcuatus. This fact provided more detailed research of acarofauna of home dust in these children. Monthly monitoring of the mite account inside the flats for 2 yrs found dynamics of its number. The Ch.arcuatus persists at the region roundthe-year and its account grows from March to September. The mite number at the flats correlated to the level of allergen-specific lgG4-antibodies. So, severe torpid course of the allergic diseases with frequent exacerbations is thought to be relevant to permanently high account of the mites and its exposure to the children.В течение двух лет в Чебоксарах проводилось наблюдение за 10 детьми в возрасте от 7 до 14 лет: 4 с бронхиальной астмой (БА) и 6 с бронхиальной астмой в сочетании с аллергическим ринитом (АР). Все дети имели БА, которая сформировалась рано (до 5-летнего возраста), клиническое течение заболевания характеризовалось полиорганностью поражения, а обострения не всегда совпадали с сезонностью встречаемости пироглифидных клещей. Как по результатам кожного тестирования, так и по уровню аллергенспецифических lgE-антител ведущими в сенсибилизации были аллергены синантропных клещей Ch.arcuatus, что и послужило поводом для более глубокого изучения акарофауны домашней пыли у этих детей. Ежемесячный мониторинг численности этих клещей в течение 2 лет в модельных квартирах позволил установить динамику численности клещей. Ch.arcuatus в регионе присутствует круглогодично, его численность нарастает с марта по сентябрь. Численность клещей в исследуемых квартирах коррелировала с уровнем аллергенспецифических 1дС4-антител. Таким образом, тяжелое торпидное течение аллергических заболеваний с частыми обострениями, повидимому, связано с постоянной высокой численностью клещей Ch.arcuatus и экспозицией этих клещевых аллергенов в непосредственном окружении детей

Personality profiles and the "russian soul": Literary and scholarly views evaluated

Many domestic and foreign observers have claimed that Russians have a unique constellation of personality traits that mirrors their distinctive historical and cultural experience. To examine the hypothesized uniqueness of Russian personality, members of the Russian Character and Personality Survey collected data from 39 samples in 33 administrative areas of the Russian Federation. Respondents (N = 7,065) identified an ethnically Russian adult or college-aged man or woman whom they knew well and rated the target using the Russian observer-rating version of the Revised NEO Personality Inventory. The mean personality profile of Russians was very similar to the international average based on 50 different countries, debunking the myth of a unique Russian soul.The small variations from world norms did not converge with depictions of Russian national character in fiction and the scholarly literature. New items intended to capture distinctive, emic aspects of Russian personality provided no new information beyond the familiar Big Five dimensions. Religion, ethnicity, and beliefs about the uniqueness of the Russian character and the malleability of personality traits had little effect on personality ratings. Perceptions of the Russian soul do not seem to be based on the personality traits of Russians

Runoff variations in Lake Balkhash Basin, Central Asia, 1779-2015, inferred from tree rings

Long highly-resolved proxies for runoff are in high demand for hydrological forecasts and water management in arid Central Asia. An accurate (R2 = 0.53) reconstruction of October-September discharge of the Ili River in Kazakhstan, 1779–2015, is developed from moisture-sensitive tree rings of spruce sampled in the Tian Shan Mountains. The fivefold extension of the gauged discharge record represents the variability of runoff in the Lake Balkhash Basin for the last 235 years. The reconstruction shows a 40 year long interval of low discharge preceded a recent high peak in the first decade of the 2000s followed by a decline to more recent levels of discharge not seen since the start of the gauged record. Most reconstructed flow extremes (± 2σ) occur outside the instrumental record (1936–2015) and predate the start of large dam construction (1969). Decadal variability of the Ili discharge corresponds well with hydrological records of other Eurasian internal drainages modeled with tree rings. Spectral analysis identifies variance peaks (highest near 42 year) consistent with main hemispheric oscillations of the Eurasian climatic system. Seasonal comparison of the Ili discharge with sea-level-pressure and geopotential height data suggests periods of high flow likely result from the increased contribution of snow to runoff associated with the interaction of Arctic air circulation with the Siberian High-Pressure System and North Atlantic Oscillation
