Русский язык - английский язык: политика единоязычия в российском образовании

Статья посвящена прочно закрепившейся в российском образовании политике «английского единоязычия», а также современному состоянию языковой политики в контексте парадигмы русский язык - английский язык. В статье рассмотрены проблемы языкового регулирования и предложена модель лингвообразования, обусловленная социолингвистическими факторами и актуальными глобализационными процессами

Assessing iron oxide nanoparticle toxicity in vitro: current status and future prospects

The in vitro labeling of stem or therapeutic cells with engineered nanoparticles with the aim of transplanting these cells into live animals and, for example, noninvasively monitoring their migration, is a hot topic in nanomedicine research. It is of crucial importance that cell-nanoparticle interactions are studied in depth in order to exclude any negative effects of the cell labeling procedure. To date, many disparate results can be found in the literature regarding nanoparticle toxicity due to the great versatility of different parameters investigated. In the present work, an overview is presented of different types of nanomaterials, focusing mostly on iron oxide nanoparticles, developed for biomedical research. The difficulties in assessing nanoparticle-mediated toxicity are discussed, an overview of some of the problems encountered using commercial (dextran-coated) iron oxide nanoparticles is presented, several key parameters are highlighted and novel methods suggested emphasizing the importance of intracellular nanoparticle degradation and linking toxicity data to functional (i.e., cell-associated) nanoparticle levels, which could help to advance any progress in this highly important research topic

High intracellular iron oxide nanoparticle concentrations affect cellular cytoskeleton and focal adhesion kinase-mediated signaling

Iron oxide nanoparticle internalization exerts detrimental effects on cell physiology for a variety of particles, hut little is known about the mechanism involved. The effects of high intracellular levels of four types of iron oxide particles (Resovist, Endorem, very small organic particles, and magneto-liposotnes (MLs)) on the viability and physiology of murine C17.2 neural progenitor cells and human blood outgrowth. endothelial cells are reported. The particles diminish cellular proliferation and affect the actin cytoskeleton and microtubule network architectures as well as focal adhesion formation and maturation. The extent of the effects correlates with the intracellular concentration (= iron mass) of the particles, with the biggest effects for Resovist and MLs at the highest concentration (1000 mu g Fe mL(-1)). Similarly, the expression of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and the amount of activated kinase (pY397-FAK) are affected. The data suggest that high levels of perinuclear localized iron oxide nanoparticles diminish the efficiency of protein expression and sterically hinder the mature actin fibers, and could have detrimental effects on cell migration and differentiation

Evaluation of the interaction of propranolol with 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) liposomes: the partitioning model

The sorption behavior of the amine containing beta-receptor blocking agent propranolol (Ppn) in 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) vesicles was investigated. Both protonated and unprotonated Ppn were measured in the continuous phase after removal of the vesicles containing sorbed Ppn by centrifugation. In contrast, by analyzing the surface charge density, deduced from electrophoretic mobility measurements, only the sorbed protonated Ppn was determined. A partitioning model was used to describe the sorption behavior. Sensitivity analysis revealed that sufficiently reliable and independent parameters were obtained. The partition coefficient of the unprotonated Ppn was about 22 times higher than that of the protonated analogue. Statistical analysis revealed a significant increase in the intrinsic partition coefficients of both Ppn analogues with an increase in the salt concentration
