Authors: Shojaeizadeh Ali , Geza Mengistu , McCray John , Hogue Terri S.
Published: September 2019

A site-scale integrated decision support tool (i-DSTss) is developed for selection and sizing of stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs). The tool has several component modules—hydrology, BMP selection, BMP sizing, and life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA)—integrated into a single platform. The hydrology module predicts runoff from small catchment on event and continuous basis using the Green-Ampt and Curve Number methods. The module predicted runoff from a small residential area and a parking lot with R2 value of 0.77 and 0.74, respectively. The BMP selection module recommends a BMP type appropriate for a site based on economic, technical, social and environmental criteria using a multi-criteria optimization approach. The BMP sizing module includes sizing options for green roofs, infiltration-based BMPs, and storage-based BMPs. A mass balance approach is implemented for all types of BMPs. The tool predicted outflow rates from a permeable pavement with R2 value of 0.89. A cost module is included where capital, operation and maintenance, and rehabilitation costs are estimated based on BMP size obtained from the sizing module. The i-DSTss is built on an accessible platform (Microsoft Excel VBA) and can be operated with a basic skillset. The i-DSTss is intended for designers, regulators, and municipalities for quick analysis of scenarios involving interaction among several factors.

Published: September 2019

This study analyzed temporal and regional responses of precipitation to the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) over southern China and the differences between IOD-only and El Niño–southern oscillation–IOD cases. The Mann–Kendall test and intentionally biased bootstrapping were used. The results revealed three main phases (development and peak, decay, and aftermath) of percentage changes in seasonal total rainfall and showed the most positive sensitivity to positive IOD events in southern China. Moreover, El Niño played an essential role in intensifying the positive response to positive IOD events in the first and second phases while contributing little to the third. In terms of precipitation variability (frequency, intensity, and magnitude), seasonal maximum 1-day precipitation and maximum number of consecutive dry days were more sensitive to positive IOD events than the maximum number of consecutive wet days and simple daily precipitation intensity index. This study enhances knowledge of the temporal and spatial sensitivity of precipitation features to positive IOD events over southern China.

Published: September 2019

Water resources are threatened by many pollution sources. The harmful effects of pollution can be evaluated through biological indicators capable of tracing problems in life forms caused by the contaminants discharged into the streams. In the present study, the effects on stream water quality of landscape configuration, season, and distance from contaminant emissions of diffuse and point sources were accessed through the evaluation of a Portuguese macroinvertebrate index (IPtIN) in 12 observation points distributed within the studied area (Ave River Basin, Portugal). Partial least-squares path models (PLS-PMs) were used to set up cause–effect relationships between this index, various metrics adapted to forest, agriculture, and artificial areas, and the aforementioned emissions, considering 13 distances from the contaminant sources ranging from 100 m to 56 km. The PLS-PM models were applied to summer and winter data to explore seasonality effects. The results of PLS-PM exposed significant scale and seasonal effects. The harmful effects of artificial areas were visible for distances larger than 10 km. The impact of agriculture was also distance related, but in summer this influence was more evident. The forested areas could hold onto contamination mainly in the winter periods. The impact of diffuse contaminant emissions was stronger during summer, when accessed on a short distance. The impact of effluent discharges was small, compared to the influence of landscape metrics, and had a limited statistical significance. Overall, the PLS-PM results evidenced significant cause–effect relationships between land use metrics and stream water quality at 10 km or larger scales, regardless of the season. This result is valid for the studied catchment, but transposition to other similar catchments needs to be carefully verified given the limited, though available, number of observation points.
Improving Parameter Transferability of GR4J Model under Changing Environments Considering Nonstationarity
Authors: Zeng Ling , Xiong Lihua , Liu Dedi , Chen Jie , Kim Jong-Suk
Published: September 2019

Hydrological nonstationarity has brought great challenges to the reliable application of conceptual hydrological models with time-invariant parameters. To cope with this, approaches have been proposed to consider time-varying model parameters, which can evolve in accordance with climate and watershed conditions. However, the temporal transferability of the time-varying parameter was rarely investigated. This paper aims to investigate the predictive ability and robustness of a hydrological model with time-varying parameter under changing environments. The conceptual hydrological model GR4J (Génie Rural à 4 paramètres Journalier) with only four parameters was chosen and the sensitive parameters were treated as functions of several external covariates that represent the variation of climate and watershed conditions. The investigation was carried out in Weihe Basin and Tuojiang Basin of Western China in the period from 1981 to 2010. Several sub-periods with different climate and watershed conditions were set up to test the temporal parameter transferability of the original GR4J model and the GR4J model with time-varying parameters. The results showed that the performance of streamflow simulation was improved when applying the time-varying parameters. Furthermore, in a series of split-sample tests, the GR4J model with time-varying parameters outperformed the original GR4J model by improving the model robustness. Further studies focus on more diversified model structures and watersheds conditions are necessary to verify the superiority of applying time-varying parameters.

Published: September 2019

In this research, a novel enhanced gravitational search algorithm (EGSA) is proposed to resolve the multi-objective optimization model, considering the power generation of a hydropower enterprise and the peak operation requirement of a power system. In the proposed method, the standard gravity search algorithm (GSA) was chosen as the fundamental execution framework; the opposition learning strategy was adopted to increase the convergence speed of the swarm; the mutation search strategy was chosen to enhance the individual diversity; the elastic-ball modification strategy was used to promote the solution feasibility. Additionally, a practical constraint handling technique was introduced to improve the quality of the obtained agents, while the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution method (TOPSIS) was used for the multi-objective decision. The numerical tests of twelve benchmark functions showed that the EGSA method could produce better results than several existing evolutionary algorithms. Then, the hydropower system located on the Wu River of China was chosen to test the engineering practicality of the proposed method. The results showed that the EGSA method could obtain satisfying scheduling schemes in different cases. Hence, an effective optimization method was provided for the multi-objective operation of hydropower system.

Authors: Rahimian Boogar Abdolrahman , Salehi Hassan , Pourghasemi Hamid Reza , Blaschke Thomas
Published: September 2019

Support vector machine (SVM) and maximum entropy (MaxEnt) machine learning techniques are well suited to model the habitat suitability of species. In this study, SVM and MaxEnt models were developed to predict the habitat suitability of Juniperus spp. in the Southern Zagros Mountains of Iran. In recent decades, drought extension and climate alteration have led to extensive changes in the geographical occurrence of this species and its growth and regeneration are extremely limited in this area. This study evaluated the habitat suitability of Juniperus through spatial modeling and predicts appropriate regions for future cultivation and resource conservation. We modeled the natural habitat of Juniperus for an area of 700 ha in Sepidan Area in the Fars province using (1) data regarding the presence of the species (295 samples) collected through field surveys and GPS, (2) habitat soil information and indices derived from 60 soil samples collected in the study area, and (3) climatic and topographic datasets collected from various sources. In total, 15 conditioning factors were used for this spatial modeling approach. Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves were applied to estimate the accuracy of the habitat suitability models produced by the SVM and MaxEnt techniques. Results indicated logical and similar area under the curve (AUC)-ROC values for the SVM (0.735) and MaxEnt (0.728) models. Both the SVM and MaxEnt methods revealed a significant relationship between the Juniperus spp. distribution and conditioning factors. Environmental factors played a vital role in evaluating the presence of Juniperus sp. as Max and Min temperatures and annual mean rainfall were the three most important factors for habitat suitability in the study area. Finally, an area with high and very high suitability for the future cultivation of Juniperus sp. and for landscape conservation was suggested based on the SVM model.

Published: September 2019

Recently, climate change has increased the frequency of extreme weather events. In South Korea, extreme droughts are frequent and cause serious damage. To identify the risk of extreme drought, we need to calculate the hydrologic risk using probabilistic analysis methods. In particular, future hydrologic risk of extreme drought should be compared to that of the control period. Therefore, this study quantitatively assessed the future hydrologic risk of extreme drought in South Korea according to climate change scenarios based on the representative concentration pathway (RCP) 8.5. A threshold level method was applied to observation-based rainfall data and climate change scenario-based future rainfall data to identify drought events and extract drought characteristics. A bivariate frequency analysis was then performed to estimate the return period considering both duration and severity. The estimated return periods were used to calculate and compare hydrologic risks between the control period and the future. Results indicate that the average duration of drought events for the future was similar with that for the control period, however, the average severity increased in most future scenarios. In addition, there was decreased risk of maximum drought events in the Yeongsan River basin in the future, while there was increased risk in the Nakdong River basin. The median of risk of extreme drought in the future was calculated to be larger than that of the maximum drought in the control period.

Tijelovo (Svetkovina Presvetog Tijela i Krvi Kristove) uz Božić, Uskrs, Veliku Gospu i Sve svete najveći je katolički blagdan. U radu se daje osvrt na povijest slavljenja Tijelova i čudesa koja su se dogodila po zagovoru Presvetoga Tijela i Krvi Kristove. Svetkovina Tijelova, međutim, nije pobudila znanstveno zanimanje kod etnologa, antropologa i filologa. Zbog iznimno nedostatne literature o Tijelovu u hrvatskoj katoličkoj crkveno-pučkoj baštini u radu se navodi i interpretira pedesetak suvremenih terenskih zapisa koji su nastajali prethodnih dvadesetak godina u Republici Hrvatskoj, Bosni i Hercegovini, Srbiji i Crnoj Gori. Štovanje Presvetoga Tijela i Krvi Kristove u hrvatskoj katoličkoj kulturnoj baštini ogleda se u mnogim crkvama, kapelama, naseljima, župama posvećenim Presvetom Tijelu i Krvi Kristovoj, pobožnostima, molitvama, zavjetima, postu, procesijama, hodočašćima, kićenju kuća, procesijama, pučkim veseljima. Socijalnu i estetsku funkciju imaju običaji kićenja kuća, uređivanja mjesta kroz koja prolazi procesija kao i vješanja ručnih radova po prozorima, balkonima i terasama kako bi to sudionici u procesiji vidjeli. Uz Tijelovo hrvatski puk veže običaje koji imaju apotropejsku i panspermijsku funkciju te vrši određene divinacije. Ti običaji drevnoga su pretkršćanskog postanja, ali su ih Hrvati kristijanizirali.
Changes of Quality of Winter Wheat During Maturing
Authors: Sipos Péter , Tóth Ároád , Győri Zoltán
Published: September 2019

We analysed the flour of two winter wheat varieties to determine the effect of maturity state and grain position in the ear on the element composition of flour. Samples were taken from the 14th to the 42th day of anthesis. Ear samples were cut into three (basal, central and apical) parts, the trashed grains were milled, and the element compositions of the flours were determined.We found that the grain position within the ear has an effect on flour element content. Flours of apical grains had lower nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur contents than flours of central and basal grains. The nutrients can be divided into two parts, based on the formation of element content during maturation. Nitrogen, sulphur and copper contents changed continuously during maturity, while the P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Sr and Zn contents decreased until a specific value and became nearly constant in the second half of maturity. We found that – although the nitrogen concentration of flours changed continuously – the amount of nitrogen in the flours reached a constant value for the second half of maturity.

Published: September 2019

An important ambition of EU regional politics is the reduction of disparities. An important strategical objective of the Commission is to terminate underdevelopment and to ensure the development of the regions based on the principles of solidarity, equity and justice. The commission has dedicated forty percent of its common budget to achieve these goals. The differences in development are significantly influenced by the economic characteristics of the specific region, the quality and quantity of human resources, the accessibility of the region and factors influencing local quality of life.The new spatial structure has been formed by the processes of the change of regime, the events of nineties and the economic renewal based onforeign capital investments parallel with crisis phenomenon. The economic, political and social consequences of the transformation have significantly transformed spatial structure and increased disparities. New disparities have formed, which strengthened due to the formation of east-west slopes and local crisis zones. The outstanding improvement of the capital resulted in great regional development differences, which can be detected when examining regional distribution of gross domestic product. The Eastern part of the country was most heavily affected by the collapse of heavy industry and agricultural mass production based on the Eastern markets.It is of key importance for the region to strengthen regional competitiveness, which requires the application of consistent development-politics. Economic development is the most important, which can also draw the possibility of establishing welfare infrastructures. It is important to develop the processing industry, the supply networks and to ease the lack of capital it is also important to involve foreign capital. Developing agriculture plays an important role in transforming the structure of the economy. Since the conditions of the region, its traditions and long-term competitive advantages are favorable, thus can represent a greater ratio in the economy than the EU average. The modernisation of the agricultural sector can be promoted by supporting marketing, quality agricultural development and producer-retail cooperation. It is also highly important to promote development in transportation and informatics infrastructure and human resources.In the future – based on the strength of the region – it is necessary to achieve such a consistent regional development politics, which by validating the principles of regional politics, serves the interest of utilizing regional development supports most efficiently and prevents the irreversible underdevelopment of the region and promotes fast development.

The role of retaining population in agriculture is stronger and more significant in the long run in the North Great Plain Region compared to other regions. The region has a significant processing industry along with a good basis for producing raw materials, developed food processing capicity and high quality agricultural products typical of the region. The GDP in agriculture, forestry and game management is somewhat higher than the national average.Variety is of cardinal importance when establishing the quality of horticultural products and determining the product value. The Hungarian breeding results of apple, quince, apricot, cherry, raspberry, red and black currant are promising.The regulation system of EU the vegetable and fruit market is based on Retail Cooperatives Producers. With the establishment of national vegetable- and fruit production and retail organizations, the market regulation, production and quality development issues of the sector can be handled and solved. Reaching EU standards in fruit production can only be achieved with up-to-date plantation systems and breed selection. A key issue in development is establishing the required financial resources for investments and updating production. In order to reach these standards, significant state subsidies and good credit conditions are needed. By solving these tasks, the sector is expected to become self-financed without government help.The pursuit of safer production, improving quality and increasing yields require the establishment of up-to-date irrigation systems. The improvement of family farms, motivating land concentration is necessary for increasing average size of plants. Establishing the above mentioned conditions is important since the vegetable-fruit sector is of great significance in the employment of rurally based population, improving their living conditions and executing rural development programs.
Effect of M9, MM106 and Seedling Rootstocks on Sunburn-Sensitivity of 33 Apple Cultivars, and Sunburn Effects on Fruit Quality
Authors: Racskó József , Thurzó Sándor , Drén Gábor
Published: September 2019

The purpose of this study was to investigate the sunburn-sensitivity of 33 apple cultivars grafted onto 3 rootstocks (M9, MM106 and seedling) in a commercial orchard at Nagykutas (in the western part of Hungary). The authors also searched for any relationship between fruit quality parameters and the frequency of sunburn on the fruit surface.During the observations, the cultivars had rootstock-specific properties in respect to sunburn-susceptibility. Accordingly, the injury decreased in the order M9, MM106 and seedling rootstocks. The differences in the sensitivity were founded on the foliage-morphological characteristics of trees, caused by the growing vigour of the rootstocks. Accordingly, the highest value of sunburn injury was observed on M9 rootstock, because this rootstock has a dwarfing effect on the grafted main cultivars. Thus, the vegetative area of these trees grew very slowly and the foliage was not compact enough to protect the fruits from the strong rays. The largeness and density of the foliage increased in the order M9, MM106 and seedling rootstocks. Relationships were also demonstrated between the diameter of the upper part of crown, the size of leaves, the number of fruits per tree and the injury from sunburn.The damage values showed, that the gravity of symptoms did not decrease below a well-defined level of dimension on fruit. Determined potential area of injury was necessary for the symptoms to become visible.The authors categorized the cultivars in the respect of values of sunburn frequency: I. „Not sensitive”, II. „Moderately sensitive” and III. „Very sensitive” categories were constituted. Generally, the Gala cultivars showed low damage (or were free of symptoms), in contrast, Golden mutants suffered relative strongly. The most sensitive cultivar was Jonica on all three of rootstocks.We searched for any relationship between the fruit quality parameters and the frequency of sunburn. A significant correlation was found in the cases of fruit weight and colour-coverage. The latter can be related to that fact that highly colour covered fruits are found on the peripherial part of crown, so these are exposed to stronger sun rays

Published: September 2019

Transcarpathia is located in one of the wettest parts of the Ukraine. There are 9429 rivers and creeks in the county with a total length of 19.86 thousand kilometers. The length of 152 rivers exceeds 10 km, 4 exceed 100 km (Tisza, Latorca, Ung and Borsava rivers). The average density of rivers is 1.7 km/km2, which is the highest in the Ukraine. The existing water resources are distributed unevenly in the county. The river with the greatest mass of water is the Tisza. Tisza carries 75% of all existing water resources, the remaining 25% is made up of the water in the river Ung and Latorca. Disregarding the uneven distribution of water resources, 80% of water is used up in the basins of the rivers Ung and Latorca from the water resources of the county, which leads to the overload of rivers.The main sources of water supply in Transcarpathia: subsurface waters – for the population of cities and settlements, surface and subsurface waters – for the industry, surface waters – for irrigation.In the interest of protecting existing water resources, it is required to follow current regulations, detecting and averting contaminating sources and establishing water conservation zones.

Prior information on genetics of bacterial blight (BB) resistance (R) genes is imperative for its successful utilization in trait development and breeding for new resistant varietiesin rice. This experiment was aimed to assess the genetics of BB resistance in susceptible but popular rice variety HUR-917 and IRBB 66 (isogenic lines of IR 24) which harbors five R genes. Bioassay results in the parental lines and crosses were revealed resistance and susceptible disease response in R gene(s) positive and negative lines, respectively with varying range of Xoo (Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae) pathotype specificity. Phenomics of F2 and Back Cross (BC) generations showed existence of non-allelic interaction (13:3) between R genes with substantial variability in disease severity. The plants carrying mono hetero-allelic R gene has exsertedModerately susceptible (MS) disease reaction with 6.42 to 8.86 disease severities, however, lines carrying 2 R gene(s) could be able to disease severity Moderate susceptible MS to Moderate Resistant MR against all pathotypes existing in the region make it valid that the doses complementarity and presence of interaction in R genes are major determinant in R expression. It was recorded that presence of two or more R genes (Xa21+xa13; Xa21+ xa13+xa5) exerted broad spectrum BB resistance, hence found more suitable to combat this disease in HUR-917.

In Indonesia, there are 2 seasons, rainy season and dry season. The rainy season occurs from November to March, while the dry season occurs from April to October. With the changing seasons that are very unpredictable, so that the weather cannot be regulated by humans so that it requires the latest technology in this case the internet of things, that concern increases when outside the home and at that time there is no one at home. for fear of clothes that are dried wet with rain water as a result also if clothes that have been dried in the sun and will be exposed to rain water do not rule out the clothes we use will cause a bad odor. By using the mcu node esp 8266 dried is controlled by using a smartphone so that it can be controlled with a long distance then add a rain sensor to anticipate sudden rain fall. If a rain sensor is detected by water, the web system of the relay component will be active and give a command to Nodemcu esp8266, after the program runs the relay will be active and the motor can run forward or backward if the relay is on and the Relay is Off then the motor unable to work forward or backward. Fabric weight is measured by a scale so that it can calculate the weight of the wet cloth obtained. The maximum number of fabrics to be used in this automatic clothesline is to keep the motor running and the motor won't be damaged easily.

Trabajo ganador del Segundo Puesto del Premio “Trabajo de Investigación Clínica (Residentes)”, otorgado por el X Congreso SOLAMI – XXVI Congreso ACMI-ACP, Cartagena 17 – 20 de agosto de 2017

Introducción: Se ha propuesto la existencia de asociación entre queratosis seborreica eruptiva y algunas neoplasias malignas. Sin embargo, la evidencia acerca de esto es pobre: tres estudios europeos de casos y controles cuyos resultados que no la apoyan. El objetivo del estudio es evaluar en población colombiana la existencia o no de esta asociación.

Materiales y métodos: Estudio de 130 casos y 260 controles pareados por edad y sexo en mayores de 18 años entre pacientes con cáncer gastrointestinal o pancreatobiliar (casos) u hospitalizados por otras razones no oncológicas (controles) en la Hospital Universitario de Santander, Bucaramanga (Colombia). A todos los pacientes se les realizó examen cutáneo minucioso, incluyendo dermatoscopia, para identificar la presencia y tiempo de evolución de queratosis seborreica en zonas cubiertas por ropa.

Resultados: La prevalencia de queratosis seborreica entre los casos fue de 26.9% (IC95% 19.5-35.4) y de 15.4% (IC95% 11.2-20.4) entre los controles (OR 1.94, IC95% 1.17-3.19). Siete pacientes con cáncer presentaban la queratosis seborreica en los seis meses previos al diagnóstico de la neoplasia (5.3%, IC95% 2.2-10.8) frente a ninguno entre los pacientes control (0.0%, IC95% 0.0-1.4; p

The detection methods for microbial agents that have epidemiological significance are diversity but cultivation on nutritional media remains the gold standard in microbiological diagnostics. Choice of medium depends on the conditions in which, bacteria were early and is present. The nature life determines its physiological peculiarity then a metabolic plasticity promote to survive and to save the virulence. In. this review on the example of Yersinia pestis and Vibrio cholerae performed evaluations of the efficient decisions for the bacterial media development. It is declared advantage of baker’s yeast hydrolisate as the nutrition media base.

Aim. Study spectrum and expressiveness of antibacterial and antifungal properties oflichen extracts. Materials and methods. Antimicrobial activity of acetone extracts from Hypogymnia physodes, Xanthoria parietina, Evernia prunastri, Ramalina pollinaria, Cladonia arbuscula lichens was determined by micro-dilution methods in broth for 4 - 500 mcg/ml concentrations against 13 strains from ATCC collection and 6 clinical isolates. Results. High antibacterial activity of H. physodes and C. arbuscular extracts against staphylococci and enterococci was detected (MIC 31 - 62 mcg/ml). Antimicrobial activity against enterobacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was absent for all the extracts. E.prunastri, H.physodes and C arbuscula extracts were active against Stenotrophomonas maltophilia strains (MIC 250 - 500 mcg/ml). Antifungal activity (MIC 500 mcg/ml for 4 Candida strains) was only detected for the E. prunastri extract. Conclusion. H.physodes and C. arbuscula lichens can be examined as a perspective source of antibacterial substances, effective against antibiotics resistant staphylococci, streptococci and S. maltophilia strains.

Aim. Evaluate immune status in patients with chronic hepatitis (CH) depending on type of causative agent and severity of the infectious process. Materials and methods. 232 residents of Yakutia including 127 patients with various forms of chronic hepatitis and 105 healthy individuals were examined. Relative levels of mature T-lymphocytes (CD3+), T-helpers (CD4+), T-suppressors (CD8+), B-lymphocytes (CD72+) and natural killers (CD16+) were studied by flow cytometry, as well as concentration of sera immune globulins of classes A, M and G by ELISA. Results. In patients with chronic hepatitis of various forms, a decrease of expression of differentiating antigens - CD3+, CD4+, CD72+ on the surface of lymphocytes and concentration of sera immune globulins was established. In CHD patients in phase of monoreplication high activity of the infectious process is accompanied by a shift of immune regulatory index to the increase of activity of cytotoxic cells with simultaneous development of deficiency of mature functionally active T-lymphocytes. In the group of patients with hepatitis D virus with liver cirrhosis normal concentration of sera immune globulins is retained against the decrease of the number of T-helpers and B-lymphocytes. Conclusion. In patients with various forms of viral hepatitis acquired immune deficiency can emerge, which is often accompanied by enhancement of NK-cell activity. The noted reduction of the number of mature functionally active T-cells, as well as main classes of sera antibodies could be connected with immune system load during a chronic infectious process.

Aim. To study the production of cytokins on the model of peripheral blood lymphocytes under the activity of Bifidobacterium bifidum 791 strain induced by Lactobacillus fermentum 90T-C4, Escherichia coli 157 and Staphylococcus aureus 209 metabolites. Materials and methods. Reference strains of «self» and «поп-self» types of bacteria were used in the investigation. «Self/non-self» microbial recognition method (Bukharin O.V., Perunova N.B., 2011). Mononuclear leukocytes were isolated from the blood of healthy donors by gradient centrifugation in ficoll-verographin density gradient (Pharmacia, Sweden). Production of pro-(IFN-y, TNF-a, IL-6, IL-17) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokins was investigated in mononuclear culture by ELISA method. The results are statistically processed. Results. Similarities in the direction of lymphocyte reaction and «self» and «поп-self» microbial differentiation of bifidobacteria were found. It was determined that in reaction to «поп-self» reference cultures the lymphocytes increased pro-inflammatory potential and increased anti-inflammatory potential in reaction to «self» bacteria. Preliminary co-incubation of bifidobacteria with L.fermentum metabolites 90T-C4 increased anti-inflammatory effect of B. bifldum 791, whereas lymphocyte reaction to E. coli and staphylococcus induced bifidobacteria was changed to pro-inflammatory. Conclusion. Combined unidirectional influence of microbiota and its metabolic activity on cytokine level might enhance defence effect of intestinal immune response. The capacity of bifidoflora to carry out primary selection of microsymbionts on account of intermicrobial «recognition» and differentiated exposure to lymphocyte pro- and anti-inflammatory potential evidences the key role of bifidoflora in the human intestine homeostasis maintenance.
