    The group (totally156 postmenopausal women) used for the study of ‘standard’ (S) and ‘associated’ (A) genetic markers of potential sensitivity to metformin (MF) consisted of 37 healthy females, 32 — with diabetes (DM) without cancer, 64 cancer patients with DM, and 23 cancer patients without DM. No significant difference in carrying of S-polymorphisms was found between DM patients without and with cancer. In cancer patients without DM most characteristic data regarding potential MF-response were detected with polymorphisms of STK11 gene while data on OCT1_rs622342 and OCT1_R61C variants showed opposite trends. In regard of A-markers, the tendency to the more often finding of GC genotype of OLR1_G501C in DM patients carrying ‘MF-positive’ variant of OCT1_R61C deserves to be underlined. In patients with new-onset diabetes who carried S-markers of potential response to MF higher insulin resistance (OCT1_R61C and OCT1_rs622342) as well as lower estradiolemia (STK11 and C11orf65) were discovered. Thus, according to genetic S-criteria of sensitivity to MF, DM patients with and without cancer differ in lesser degree than they differ from cancer patients without DM. It can not be excluded, that The efficiency of such criteria might be increased due to combination with A-markers and certain hormonal-metabolic indices. Пациенты и методы. Обследовано 156 постменопаузальных женщин, среди которых было 32 больные сахарным диабетом 2-го типа (СД2), 64 — с сочетанием СД2 и нелеченной злокачественной опухоли (по большей части — рак толстой кишки, молочной железы или эндометрия), 23 — с онкологическим заболеванием без диабета и 37 здоровых. Изучено носительство 8 генетических полиморфизмов — четырех, обозначенных как «стандартные» (С), поскольку в отношении них ранее имелись сведения о связи преимущественно с метаболическим ответом на противодиабетический препарат из группы бигуанидов метформин, и еще четырех, причисленных к «ассоциированным» (A). Результаты. Между больными СД2, не страдающими или страдающими злокачественными новообразованиями, достоверных различий в носительстве С-вариантов найдено не было. Потенциальную склонность к ответу на метформин у онкологических больных без диабета наилучшим образом характеризовало носительство вариантов генов STK11, а исследование у них же полиморфизмов OCT1_rs622342 и OCT1_R61C обнаружило противоположные по направленности результаты. Страдающие впервые выявленным СД2 носители потенциально «метформин-позитивных» полиморфных вариантов OCT1_R61C и OCT1_rs622342 характеризовались более выраженной инсулинорезистентностью, в то время как аналогичного характера подгруппа носителей полиморфизмов генов STK11 и C11orf65 — умеренно сниженной эстрадиолемией. Выводы. Больные СД2, имеющие и не имеющие злокачественные новообразования, по генетическим критериям потенциальной чувствительности к метформину между собой отличаются меньше, чем от онкологических больных без диабета. Предиктивная эффективность С-критериев может быть повышена путем их сочетания с оценкой А-полиморфизмов и некоторых гормонально-метаболических параметров.

    This is the Pre-print version of the Article. The official published version of the Paper can be accessed from the link below - Copyright @ 2010 IOPThe CMS silicon tracker, consisting of 1440 silicon pixel and 15 148 silicon strip detector modules, has been aligned using more than three million cosmic ray charged particles, with additional information from optical surveys. The positions of the modules were determined with respect to cosmic ray trajectories to an average precision of 3–4 microns RMS in the barrel and 3–14 microns RMS in the endcap in the most sensitive coordinate. The results have been validated by several studies, including laser beam cross-checks, track fit self-consistency, track residuals in overlapping module regions, and track parameter resolution, and are compared with predictions obtained from simulation. Correlated systematic effects have been investigated. The track parameter resolutions obtained with this alignment are close to the design performance.This work is supported by FMSR (Austria); FNRS and FWO (Belgium); CNPq, CAPES, FAPERJ, and FAPESP (Brazil); MES (Bulgaria); CERN; CAS, MoST, and NSFC (China); COLCIENCIAS (Colombia); MSES (Croatia); RPF (Cyprus); Academy of Sciences and NICPB (Estonia); Academy of Finland, ME, and HIP (Finland); CEA and CNRS/IN2P3 (France); BMBF, DFG, and HGF (Germany); GSRT (Greece); OTKA and NKTH (Hungary); DAE and DST (India); IPM (Iran); SFI (Ireland); INFN (Italy); NRF (Korea); LAS (Lithuania); CINVESTAV, CONACYT, SEP, and UASLP-FAI (Mexico); PAEC (Pakistan); SCSR (Poland); FCT (Portugal); JINR (Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan); MST and MAE (Russia); MSTDS (Serbia); MICINN and CPAN (Spain); Swiss Funding Agencies (Switzerland); NSC (Taipei); TUBITAK and TAEK (Turkey); STFC (United Kingdom); DOE and NSF (USA)

    Novel alkoxo-titanium(IV) complexes with fluorinated 2-hydroxymethylphenol derivatives as catalysts for the formation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene nascent reactor powders

    No full text
    A series of titanium (IV) complexes 3a–g stabilized by fluorinated derivatives of 2-hydroxymethylphenol have been synthesized; their composition and structure have been confirmed by NMR, IR-spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 3c, 3f and 3g have been unambiguously established by X-ray diffraction study. The complexes in the presence of a binary cocatalysts {alkyl aluminum chloride + MgBu2} catalyze ethylene polymerization to afford Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). The effects of substituents in the ligands on the catalytic activity and properties of the obtained polymer – molecular weight, DSC melting behavior, and morphology of nascent reactor powders have been investigated. UHMWPE samples were processed by a solid-state uniaxial deformation into high-strength (up to 2.65 GPa) and high-modulus (over 140 GPa) oriented film tapes, which indirectly indicates a low degree of entanglements between the macromolecular chains. © 2019 Elsevier B.V

    Novel titanium (IV) complexes with 1,2-diolate ligands: Synthesis, structure and catalytic activities in ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene production

    No full text
    A series of titanium (IV) complexes 3a-f stabilized by 1,2-diolate ligands 2 a-e have been synthesized. Structures of complexes 3d and 3e have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Titanium atoms in these complexes have a distorted square-pyramidal environment. All resulting complexes are highly active in ethylene polymerization in the presence of {3Et2AlCl + MgBu2} or {1.5Et3Al2Cl3 + MgBu2} binary co-catalysts. In the latter case, higher molecular weights of UHMWPE samples (up to 7.7 106) are achieved. Obtained polymers are suitable for the modern processing methods – the solvent-free solid state formation of super high-strength (over 2.0 – 2.8 GPa) and high-modulus (up to 145 GPa) oriented film tapes. © 201
