Species of Fungi in the Root System of Woody Plants in Urban Plantations

The features of the species composition of microscopic fungi in the root system and rhizosphere soil of woody plants in connection with the level of soil contamination have not been studied sufficiently. This article presents the results of studying the species composition of fungi in the root system and soil of three species of woodyplants (Acer negundo L., Acer platanoides L., and Betula pendula Roth.) growing in urban plantations of various ecological categories with different levels of heavy metal soil contamination. The study was carried out in a large industrial center of the Urals region, Izhevsk. When studying the species composition of fungi, microscopyand molecular genetic analysis were used. Isolates of endotrophic fungi from the root system of plants were isolated, and systematic membership was determined by molecular genetic analysis. The results showed that in soils with a high level of contamination, the DNA of endotrophic mycorrhiza-forming fungi was found in theroots of woody plants in a good living state.

Corporativity as a condition for developing teaching staff

© 2015, Review of European Studies. All right reserved. The relevance of this article is due to the fact that the solution to any problem is more effective in partnership, as a whole is always greater than the sum of its parts, and one should not ignore alternative ways of different perception of the surrounding reality, since what is unachievable for each member separately, can be achieved by all members of the whole team. Therefore, this article aims at disclosing the essence of corporativity in developing teaching staff. The article deals with the role of corporativity in developing a teaching team, the viability conditions of the pedagogical team have been detected, the individual trajectories for developing each member of the teaching staff are presented. The article submissions are valuable both in theory and in practical terms, for representatives of professional training institutions in order to achieve their corporate competitiveness as a teaching team

The management of independent educational-cognitive activities of future specialists in the process of vocational training

© 2016, Econjournals. All rights reserved.The development of a modern economy fundamentally changes the requirements for professional staff. Specialists who not only have an excellent command of their profession, are actively involved in the improvement of production, but also seek to improve their skills, master related professions are still in demand. This leads to new targets of professional training of future specialists, including the formation of readiness for independent educational cognitive activities. The purpose of this paper is to define the peculiarities of the management of independent educational-cognitive activities of future specialists in the process of vocational training. The leading approaches to the study are the system approach that allows considering of the management of independent educational-cognitive activities of future specialists as a continuous purposeful process, and an integrative approach allowing to organize the process of formation of future specialists’ readiness for independent educational-cognitive activities on different logical grounds. The article reveals the methods and functions of self-educational-cognitive activities of future specialists; defines the content of future specialists’ readiness for independent educational-cognitive activities; presents the mechanism and pedagogical conditions of formation of future specialists’ readiness for independent educational cognitive activities in the process of vocational training. The paper submissions may be useful for scientific and pedagogical workers of educational institutions; employees of the centers of advanced training and retraining of personnel in the selection and structuring of the content for the training of scientific and pedagogical staff

Diagnosis and Treatment of Temporomandibular Arthrosis: a Clinical Case

Background. Complexity of anatomical structure, diversity of clinical pattern, lack of a unified theory of etiology, pathogenesis and treatment of this pathology, individual aspects of the course of the disease complicate the diagnosis and choice of relevant treatment for patients with various nosological forms of the temporomandibular joint diseases.Clinical case description. Patient P., 32 years-old, went to the clinic of orthopaedic dentistry with complaints of noise phenomena in the temporomandibular joint (clicks in the joint area have been registered for five years, the noise increased six months ago), dental crowding, absence of tooth 3.5. The patient underwent clinical examination with creating diagnostic models, electromyography of the masticatory muscles, axiography, computed tomography and MRI of the temporomandibular joint. Through computed magnetic resonance imaging of the temporomandibular joint, electromyography and axiography the patient was accurately diagnosed with deforming arthrosis of the temporomandibular joint complicated by dislocation of the intra-articular disc. A therapeutic-diagnostic plastic milled splint on the mandible was implemented. Dynamic observation during treatment was carried out. The effect of the treatment was observed after three months. The control cone-beam computed tomography of the temporomandibular joint showed positive dynamics in the form of an even expansion of all regions of the joint cavity on both sides, centered position of the heads of mandible in the mandibular fossa, but the cortical bone destruction of the upper contour of the mandibular head on the left was still present. After six months of treatment, electromyograms showed a decrease in bioelectrical activity at rest and an increase in bioelectrical activity during chewing on all the masticatory muscles within normal limits. The re-examination after six months revealed smoother vertical movements of the lower jaw, an increase in the amplitude of laterotrusion and protrusion, their symmetry, no “blockage” of lower jaw movements.Conclusion. An integrated application of radiologic imaging, electromyography and axiography in the diagnosis of temporomandibular joint diseases is crucial for objective analysis of the results, assessment of the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the masticatory muscles and lower jaw movements, which ultimately determines the optimal patient surveillance and controlled treatment outcomes

Cytoprotective effect of fullerene C<inf>60</inf> derivatives with different structures

Transmembrane potential of mitochondria is a sensitive biomarker of metabolic activity of cells. Here, we studied mitochondrial potential Ψm in Yarrowia lipolytica yeast cells treated with two fullerene C60 derivatives: bis-nitroxide methanofullerene and 3-phospho-pentafullerene acid. Transmembrane mitochondrial potential was measured by vital ratiometric cationic fluorochrome JC-1 using flow cytometry. The fullerene C60 derivatives tested in a concentration of 10 μg/ml developed cytoprotective effect in the yeast cells challenged either with non-ionic detergent tween-80, or Tris-buffer, pH 9.0. Treatment with bis-nitroxide methanofullerene resulted in a 6-fold increase in proportion of cells with high Ψm, while 3-phospho-pentafullerene acid evoked a 1,5-fold increase in this subset compared to the stressed cells. Hence, both fullerene derivatives counteract Ψm dissipation in challenged cells

Оценка эффективности малых доз пентоксифиллина в сочетании с токоферола ацетатом при внутригрудном саркоидозе

We conducted a simple prospective trial studied influence of pentoxifylline on the course of active pulmonary sarcoidosis in 70 patients. This drug decreasing TNF-α (tissue necrosis factor-α) level was given orally in the dose of 600 mg 3 times a day in combination with α-to copherol in the dose of 400 IU twice a day. Fourteen patients stopped treatment because of side effects (nausea, dizziness). Fifty-six patients had clinical improvement in 71.4 % of cases, reduction of intrathoracic lymphadenopathy in 71.8 %, reliable improvement in DLCO (lung diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide) and increase in the blood lymphocyte count. The clinical effectiveness of this drug combination was less in chronic sarcoidosis and in patients who had taken systemic glucocorticosteroids or antituberculotics before. A multicentral comparative trial is required to include pentoxifylline to guidelines on management sarcoidosis patients.Было проведено простое проспективное изучение влияния приема пентоксифиллина — препарата, снижающего уровень фактора некроза опухолей-α (TNF-α) — per os в дозе 600 мг в сутки в 3 приема в сочетании с α-токоферола ацетатом в дозе 400 МЕ в сутки в 2 приема, на течение активного саркоидоза органов дыхания у 70 пациентов. 14 больных прервали лечение ввиду побочных реакций (тошнота, головокружение). В группе из 56 больных произошло клиническое улучшение в 71,4 %, уменьшение внутригрудной лимфаденопатии — в 71,8 %, достоверное улучшение диффузионной способности легких и рост процента лимфоцитов в периферической крови. Клиническая эффективность сочетания пентоксифиллина с витамином Е была снижена при хронически текущем саркоидозе, а также у больных, получавших ранее системные глюкокортикостероиды или противотуберкулезные препараты. Для включения пентоксифиллина в рекомендации по лечению саркоидоза необходимо проведение мультицентрового сравнительного исследования
