    Рассмотрены проблемы групповой эргатической совместимости авиационных операторов (пилотов, авиадиспетчеров, технического персонала) и использования технических средств для оценки групповой эргатической совместимости операторов как средства повышения авиационной безопасности за счет более тщательного отбора кандидатов для совместной работы в составе лeтных и космических экипажей.Розглянуто питання проблеми групової ергатичної сумісності авіаційних операторів (пілотів, авіадиспетчерів, технічного персоналу) і використання технічних пристроїв для оцінки групової ергатичної сумісності операторів як засобу підвищення авіаційної безпеки за рахунок більш кращого відбору кандидатів для спільної роботи у складі льотних і космічних екіпажів.We issued the problems of group ergatic aircraft operators (pilots, air traffic controllers, technicians) and the use of technical devices to assess the compatibility of the group ergatic operators as means of improving aviation safety through a better selection of candidates to work together as part of flight and space crews. In this research article to better selection of candidates for collaboration in the space flight crews and the authors propose to use modern computers with appropriate software. This computer complex will answer a number of important issues related to ensuring: compatibility Soames, rational distribution of functions between components ergatic systems, proper interaction with the machine operators as well as each other in normal and special situations professional selection, preparation and training of aviation operators

    IL-1β-Mediated Activation of Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Results in PMN Reallocation and Enhanced Phagocytosis: A Possible Mechanism for the Reduction of Osteoarthritis Pathology

    Background: Injection of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (ASCs) into murine knee joints after induction of inflammatory collagenase-induced osteoarthritis (CiOA) reduces development of joint pathology. This protection is only achieved when ASCs are applied in early CiOA, which is characterized by synovitis and high S100A8/A9 and IL-1β levels, suggesting that inflammation is a prerequisite for the protective effect of ASCs. Our objective was to gain more insight into the interplay between synovitis and ASC-mediated amelioration of CiOA pathology.Methods: CiOA was induced by intra-articular collagenase injection. Knee joint sections were stained with hematoxylin/eosin and immunolocalization of polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) and ASCs was performed using antibodies for NIMP-R14 and CD271, respectively. Chemokine expression induced by IL-1β or S100A8/A9 was assessed with qPCR and Luminex. ASC-PMN co-cultures were analyzed microscopically and with Luminex for inflammatory mediators. Migration of PMNs through transwell membranes toward conditioned medium of non-stimulated ASCs (ASCNS-CM) or IL-1β-stimulated ASCs (ASCIL-1β-CM) was examined using flow cytometry. Phagocytic capacity of PMNs was measured with labeled zymosan particles.Results: Intra-articular saline injection on day 7 of CiOA increased synovitis after 6 h, characterized by PMNs scattered throughout the joint cavity and the synovium. ASC injection resulted in comparable numbers of PMNs which clustered around ASCs in close interaction with the synovial lining. IL-1β-stimulation of ASCs in vitro strongly increased expression of PMN-attracting chemokines CXCL5, CXCL7, and KC, whereas S100A8/A9-stimulation did not. In agreement, the number of clustered PMNs per ASC was significantly increased after 6 h of co-culturing with IL-1β-stimulated ASCs. Also migration of PMNs toward ASCIL-1β-CM was significantly enhanced (287%) when compared to ASCNS-CM. Interestingly, association of PMNs with ASCs significantly diminished KC protein release by ASCs (69% lower after 24 h), accompanied by reduced release of S100A8/A9 protein by the PMNs. Moreover, phagocytic capacity of PMNs was strongly enhanced after priming with ASCIL-1β-CM.Conclusions: Local application of ASCs in inflamed CiOA knee joints results in clustering of attracted PMNs with ASCs in the synovium, which is likely mediated by IL-1β-induced up-regulation of chemokine release by ASCs. This results in enhanced phagocytic capacity of PMNs, enabling the clearance of debris to attenuate synovitis
