a solution to smoluchowski s coagulation equation based on experimental data and a model to describe the frequency of particle collisions

Use of coagulants in treatment of wastewater from food industry is one of the most promising techniques to establish environment-friendly industries. To date, however, the coagulation process is not yet fully described in a manner which is conducive to practical applications and results. In fact, the coagulation process theoretical basis, i.e. the classical Smoluchowski's equation published in 1916, is so complex to solve that virtually no practical application exists in the field of applied chemistry. This article illustrates the Authors' endeavor to overcome this impasse. This has been achieved by constructing a mathematical model of the guiding force in the phenomenon, i.e. the frequency of particles collisions, and then utilizing this model to define, starting from Smoluchowski's equation, a function which describes both the coagulation and sedimentation processes depending on space (vertical coordinate z) and the concentration of coagulant. This study can be considered as the first step of a methodology of practical application of the Smoluchowski's equation to process and equipment design

Mixed cationic liposomes for brain delivery of drugs by the intranasal route: The acetylcholinesterase reactivator 2-PAM as encapsulated drug model

© 2018 Elsevier B.V. New mixed cationic liposomes based on L-α-phosphatidylcholine and dihexadecylmethylhydroxyethylammonium bromide (DHDHAB) were designed to overcome the BBB crossing by using the intranasal route. Synthesis and self-assembly of DHDHAB were performed. A low critical association concentration (0.01 mM), good solubilization properties toward hydrophobic dye Orange OT and antimicrobial activity against gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus (MIC=7.8 μg mL–1) and Bacillus cereus (MIC=7.8 μg mL–1), low hemolytic activities against human red blood cells (less than 10%) were achieved. Conditions for preparation of cationic vesicles and mixed liposomes with excellent colloidal stability at room temperature were determined. The intranasal administration of rhodamine B-loaded cationic liposomes was shown to increase bioavailability into the brain in comparison to the intravenous injection. The cholinesterase reactivator, 2-PAM, was used as model drug for the loading in cationic liposomes. 2-PAM-loaded cationic liposomes displayed high encapsulation efficiency (∼ 90%) and hydrodynamic diameter close to 100 nm. Intranasally administered 2-PAM-loaded cationic liposomes were effective against paraoxon-induced acetylcholinesterase inhibition in the brain. 2-PAM−loaded liposomes reactivated 12 ± 1% of brain acetylcholinesterase. This promising result opens the possibility to use marketed positively charged oximes in medical countermeasures against organophosphorus poisoning for reactivation of central acetylcholinesterase by implementing a non-invasive approach, via the “nose-brain” pathway

Heterospin complex showing spin transition at room temperature

© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. New nitronyl nitroxides LMe and LMe-CP containing a 4-methylpyridin-3-yl substituent were synthesized. It was found that the interaction of Cu(hfac)2 with LMe and LMe-CP gave binuclear [Cu(hfac)2LMe]2 and [Cu(hfac)2LMe-CP]2·Solv (Solv = n-C6H14, n-C10H22, n-C16H34) and chain polymer {[[Cu(hfac)2]2LMe2][Cu(hfac)2]}∞ heterospin complexes. An important structural peculiarity of LMe and LMe-CP is a large dihedral angle between the planes of the O•-N-CN → O paramagnetic fragment and the pyridine ring: 55.2 and 56.1°, respectively. The presence of a methyl group in the pyridine ring of the nitroxide molecule in {[[Cu(hfac)2]2LMe2][Cu(hfac)2]}∞ proved favorable for spin transition at nearly room temperature

The formation and the study of a collection of the Miscanthus resource species gene pool in the conditions of the West Siberian forest steppe

Several species of the genus Miscanthus Anderss. (elephant grass) characterized by a high rate of growth of the aboveground vegetative mass are currently in the focus of attention due to their high practical application as a source of bioethanol and cellulose. The main goals of this study were: (1) molecular genetic identification and (2) histochemical analysis of the genus Miscanthus Anderss. species in the collection of Central Siberian Botanical Garden SB RAS in order to identify the most perspective and technically valuable individuals. To study the collection of Miscanthus samples, a multi-disciplinary approach was applied. To collect the samples of different species from native habitats, traditional systematic and geobotanical methods (comparative morphological and phytocenological) were used. According to the results of the ISSR-analysis, 16 samples of three Miscanthus species were divided into two clades: Sinensis and Sacchariflorus, the former including two subclades. For the samples of M. purpurascens_I and II, a hybrid origin of this species was confirmed by ISSR data. The molecular data obtained from the study allowed us to hypothesize that the samples involved in the subclade I of the Sinensis clade could be used as donors of resistance to adverse environments, and the samples of the subclade II, as donors of high biomass productivity. Based on histochemical analysis, sclerenchyma cells were characterized by the most lignin-rich thickened membranes, so the most appropriate direction in Miscanthus selection should be based on identification and using less lignin-containing samples

ВЫЯВЛЕНИЕ И ВЕРИФИКАЦИЯ НАСЛЕДСТВЕННОГО СФЕРОЦИТОЗА СРЕДСТВАМИ ЛАБОРАТОРНОЙ ДИАГНОСТИКИ

Aim. Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is the most commonly encountered erythrocyte membranopathy. Frequency of occurrence of the disease makes one case per 2000−5000 newborns. Hereditary spherocytosis often causes a complex of clinical signs, including hemolytic crises in patients. At the same time many patients have asymptomatic HS. Differential diagnosis of HS is quite complex and in modern workload conditions the clinical doctors need a simpler diagnostics procedure. Patients and methods. Participants included 13 adults with verified hereditary spheroсytosis and 42 children with identified hereditary spherocytosis, 311 adults without hematological disorders, 42 children without hematological disorders. Verification of hereditary spherocytosis diagnosis was carried out using flow cytometry test (eosine-5 maleimid-binding), Deich`s method of determination of erythrocyte osmotic resistance and Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-Poly Acrylamide Gel Electrophoresis. In this study we have assessed diagnostic value of hematological parameters provided by the hematological analyzer Beckman Coulter Cellular Analysis System DxH800 for identifying the degree of erythropoiesis disorder in patients with hereditary spherocytosis at the stage of reticulocytes maturation. According to our data, the ratio RET/IRF and calculated parameter MCV-MSCV can be used as the screening tests for hereditary spherocytosis. Results. Evaluation of the erythrocytes and reticulocytes parameters at the hematological analyzer identified the significant difference in estimate index MCV-MSCV (p < 0,0001, sensitivity 100%, specificity 100%, area under the ROC-curve 1,0) and RET/IRF (p < 0,0001, sensitivity 96,3%, specificity 94,1, area under the ROC-curve 0,97) between group of patients with HS and control group. We also evaluated the usability of eosine-5 maleimide binding in flow cytometry for verification of this membranopathy. For unify the test results we offer to use estimate indicator S (sample`s MFI / control`s mean MFI), cut level for positive cases of hereditary spherocytosis S < 0,84 (p = 0,0001, sensitivity 98,2%, specificity 99,2%, area under the ROC-curve 0,99). Conclusion. We recommend the hematological analyzer evaluation as the screening option for the identification of HS in patients and determine the estimated parameters for the values of the patients MCV-MSCV and RET/IRF. The most informative verifying test to prove hereditary spherocytosis is the flow cytometry test using eosine-5 maleimid. It is the laboratory test that proves a high degree of sensitivity and specificity for hereditary spherocytosis. Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate-PolyAcrylamide Gel Electrophoresis of red blood cells membranes proteins is useful for specify molecular deficiency in each hereditary spherocytosis case.  Введение. Дифференциальная диагностика наследственного сфероцитоза (НС) до последнего времени во многом опирается на использование нестандартизированных лабораторных методик, не позволяющих проводить контроль качества исследования. Цель исследования: разработка метода верификации наследственного сфероцитоза. Пациенты и методы. В исследование включены образцы крови 13 взрослых и 42 детей с верифицированным диагнозом НС и 311 взрослых и 42 детей с доказанным отсутствием гематологических нарушений. Диагноз НС в исследовании подтвержден методом проточной цитометрии (тест на связывание эозин-5 малеимида), методом оценки осмотической резистентности эритроцитов по Дейчи и методом электрофореза белков мембран эритроцитов в полиакриламидном геле по Лэммли. Проведена оценка диагностической ценности гематологических параметров для выявления степени расстройства эритропоэза при НС на стадии созревания ретикулоцитов и оценка значимости расчетных показателей RET/IRF, MCV-MSCV для первичной диагностики НС. Результаты. Выявлены статистически значимые различия между группами контроля и пациентами с НС по величине расчетного показателя MCV-MSCV. Для стандартизации результатов разработан расчетный коэффициент S для 6 контрольных образцов (средняя интенсивность флюоресценции эозин-5 малеимида исследуемого образца / Xmean средней интенсивности флюоресценции эозин-5 малеимида), установлена точка отсечки S < 0,84 для положительных случаев НС (p = 0,0001; специфичность теста 98,2%, чувствительность 99,2%, площадь под ROC-кривой 0,99). Выводы. В качестве скринингового теста для выявления НС может быть рекомендована оценка расчетных ретикулоцитарных показателей MCV-MSCV и RET/IRF с использованием данных автоматизированного гематологического анализатора. В качестве теста верификации диагноза НС наиболее информативен высокоспецифичный и чувствительный метод проточной цитометрии с применением красителя эозин-5 малеимид. Для уточнения молекулярного дефекта, лежащего в основе исследуемого материала, может быть рекомендован электрофорез мембранных белков эритроцитов.

Корреляционный анализ морфофункциональных и иммунологических параметров у пациентов с продвинутыми стадиями первичной открытоугольной глаукомы

PURPOSE. To study the correlations between the immunological data and the indicators of electroretinography (ERG) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in patients with advanced stages of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).METHODS. Previously, we conducted a multimodal study of patients with advanced stages of glaucoma involving ERG, morphometric and immunological studies. In this new study we performed a correlation analysis of the immunological and morphofunctional data of patients with advanced stages of POAG. The study included 35 patients (35 eyes), among them 19 women and 16 men, who were divided into two groups: group 1 — stage II POAG (12 patients, 12 eyes), and group 2 — stage III POAG (23 patients, 23 eyes). The average age of the subjects was 64.2±6.5 years. Intraocular pressure was compensated in all study patients. The Pearson's correlation coefficient was used to calculate the linear relationship between continuous features.RESULTS. In the subgroup with stage II POAG significant correlations of moderate strength (according to the Chaddock scale) were found between the parameters of pattern ERG (PERG) and photopic negative response (PhNR) and the level of VEGF-A in the blood serum (BS), EGF in the tear fluid (TF) and aqueous humor (AH); strong correlations — for the concentrations of EGF and TGF-β2 in the AH. In group 2, moderate correlations between PERG and PhNR parameters and the level of IL-1RA in the TF were found, as well as moderate correlation of TGF-β2 expression in the AH with PnHR amplitude from the baseline. In patients with stage II glaucoma, the levels of MIP-1β/CCL4 in the TF, IL-1RA in the intraocular fluid correlated with the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL), while the EGF in the TF and AH correlated with RNFL thickness. In the group with stage III POAG, correlations of moderate strength were found for the expression level of TNF-α, IL-8/CXCL8 in the TF and RNFL thickness, and strong correlations — for the level of IP-10/CXCL10, HGF/SF, TGF-β2 in AH and the thickness of RNFL and GCL.CONCLUSION. Comparison of ERG, OCT findings and the level of cytokines of various biological effects in the BS, TF and AH confirmed the high informativeness of PERG and PhNR indicators and immunological data as markers of advanced stages of POAG, and allow EGF to be considered as the most promising pathogenetically oriented immunological marker of II and III stages of glaucoma.ЦЕЛЬ. Изучить корреляционные взаимосвязи между данными иммунологических исследований и показателей электроретинографии (ЭРГ) и оптической когерентной томографии (ОКТ) у пациентов с продвинутыми стадиями первичной открытоугольной глаукомой (ПОУГ).МЕТОДЫ. Ранее нами было выполнено мультимодальное исследование пациентов с продвинутыми стадиями глаукомы, включающее электроретинографию, морфометрические и иммунологические исследования. В настоящей работе проведен корреляционный анализ данных иммунологических и морфофункциональных исследований у больных с продвинутыми стадиями ПОУГ. Проанализированы результаты исследований 35 пациентов (35 глаз), в том числе 19 женщин и 16 мужчин, в двух группах: 1 — с развитой (12 больных, 12 глаз), и 2 — далекозашедшей стадией ПОУГ (23 пациента, 23 глаза). Средний возраст исследуемых составил 64,2±6,5 лет. Внутриглазное давление было компенсировано у всех обследуемых. Для вычисления линейной зависимости между непрерывными признаками использовали коэффициент корреляции Пирсона.РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ. В подгруппе с развитой глаукомой выявлены достоверные корреляции «заметной» силы (по шкале Чеддока) между параметрами паттерн-ЭРГ (ПЭРГ) и фотопического негативного ответа (ФНО) и уровнем VEGF-A в сыворотке крови (СК), EGF в слезной жидкости (СЖ) и внутриглазной жидкости (ВГЖ); и взаимосвязи «высокой» силы – для концентраций EGF и TGF-β2 в ВГЖ. В группе больных с далекозашедшей ПОУГ выявлены корреляции «умеренной» силы для параметров ПЭРГ и ФНО и содержания IL-1RA в СЖ, и «заметная» корреляция экспрессии TGF-β2 в ВГЖ с амплитудой ФНО от изолинии. У пациентов со развитой стадией глаукомы уровни содержания MIP-1β/CCL4 в СЖ, IL-1RA в ВГЖ коррелируют с толщиной слоя нервных волокон сетчатки (СНВС) и ганглиозных клеток сетчатки (ГКС), а концентрации EGF в СЖ и ВГЖ — с толщиной СНВС. В группе с далекозашедшей ПОУГ обнаружены корреляции «умеренной» силы для уровня экспрессии TNF-α, IL-8/CXCL8 в СЖ и толщины СНВС и «заметной» силы — для содержания  IP-10/CXCL10,  HGF/SF,  TGF-β2  в  ВГЖ  и  толщины СНВС и слоя ГКС.ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ. Сопоставление результатов электроретинографии, ОКТ и уровня цитокинов разнообразного биологического действия в СК, СЖ и ВГЖ подтверждают клинически значимую информативность параметров ПЭРГ и ФНО и показателей иммунологических исследований как маркеров продвинутых стадий ПОУГ и позволяют выделить EGF в качестве наиболее перспективного патогенетически ориентированного иммунологического маркера II и III стадии глаукомы
