Impacts of edge seal material on thermal insulation performance of a thermally resistive photovoltaic glazing (TRPVG): CFD research with experimental validation
Authors: CUCE Erdem
Published: January 2019

A novel design of photovoltaic (PV) glazing technology called TRPVG is introduced within the scope of this research, and thermal insulation performance of TRPVG for different edge seal materials is evaluated through a well-known and reliable commercial software ANSYS FLUENT. For a typical TRPVG configuration, CFD results are compared with the experimental data, and a good accordance is achieved. Then, different potential edge seal materials are considered for TRPVG technology in terms of their impacts on thermal bridging and hence overall heat transfer coefficient (U-value) of entire glazing. Besides the plastic based edge seals, which are widely utilized in fenestration products, thermal superinsulation materials like flexible aerogel are also considered in the research to analyze their potential effects for reducing the U-value range of TRPVG. A recent experimental research indicates a U-value of 1.10 W/m2K in which unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) is considered as edge seal. The U-value from the CFD research for the said configuration is determined to be 1.19 W/m2K, which verifies the accuracy of the numerical analyses. Further investigations reveal that the U-value of TRPVG can be enhanced to 1.13 W/m2K only if PVC-U edge seal is replaced with aerogel. This can be attributed to the competitively low thermal conductivity of PVC-U material (0.19 W/mK) as an edge seal. The predicted U-values of TRPVG are reported to be 1.44 W/m2K for polymer seal, 1.32 W/m2K for glass fiber seal, 1.26 W/m2K for polycarbonate seal, 1.24 W/m2K for polyethylene seal, 1.20 W/m2K for acrylic seal and 1.18 W/m2K for epoxy seal.

Improving Research in Educational Psychology, Psychology, and the Social Sciences
Authors: Smith Kendal N. , Makel Matthew C. , Plucker Jonathan
Published: January 2019

The past half-decade has seen the applied sciences in the throes of acute growing pains. In what has become known as the replication crisis, widespread failures to replicate prior findings have shaken several fields, including medicine, psychology, management, and economics. Fortunately, the systemic problems brought to light by the replication crisis have also ignited a “credibility revolution” (Vazire, 2018). This paper provides a brief review of some of the core issues identified in the replication crisis, followed by a discussion of current reform efforts and their potential application in education research.

Inequality in human development across the globe
Authors: Permanyer Iñaki , Smits Jeroen
Published: January 2019

The Human Development Index, which reflects societies’ combined achievement in education, health and standard of living, has since its introduction become the most famous indicator of the level of development of societies. A disadvantage of this index is however, that only national values are available, whereas within many countries huge subnational variation in development exists. Here we present the Subnational Human Development Index (SHDI), which shows within-country variation in human development across the globe. Covering more than 1600 regions within 160 countries, the SHDI and its dimension indices provide a ten times higher-resolution picture than was available before. Within-country variation is particularly strong in low and middle developed countries and less important in the most developed ones. Education disparities explain most SHDI inequality within low-developed countries and standard of living differences within more highly developed countries. With the SHDI, global socio-economic change can be studied with unprecedented coverage and detail.
Gender Convergence over "Cheap Sex"
Authors: Bridges Tristan , Philbin Jesse
Published: January 2019

In Cheap Sex: The Transformation of Men, Marriage, and Monogamy, Mark Regnerus argues that men have historically entered marital relationships with women primarily to access sex. He claims that as women have demanded less from men in exchange for sex, the institution of marriage has been undermined. Regnerus suggests that shifts in women’s sexual behavior have “cheapened” sex because straight men are no longer obliged to offer concessions such as protection, resources, attention, or fidelity to gain access to sex with women. Thus, according to Regnerus, the decline in marriage—and the nuclear family—is caused by women’s newfound willingness to be “promiscuous.” These claims represent a nostalgic plea for a time when young women were expected to wait for marriage to have sex, accept reproduction as a likely outcome of sex, and rely on the material resources of a male partner. These claims are provocative. But are they true?...
Character and features of morphofunctional reactions of renal vessels in rats at chronic poisoning with acetylsalicylic acid
Authors: Herasymiuk I. Ye. , Korytskyy A. H.
Published: January 2019

The prevalence and availability of aspirin-containing analgesic products makes them sources of unintentional overdose, and even suicidal admission. Therefore, the toxic effect of salicylates is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. In this case, as a rule, the target body is the kidneys. The purpose of the study was to identify the structural changes in the kidneys in the process of chronic poisoning with acetylsalicylic acid. In an experiment on rats using the histological methods of the study, it was found that chronic poisoning with acetylsalicylic acid leads to severe organ disorders in the kidneys, which are manifested in the form of congestive venous plethora with reactive ascending vasoconstriction of the arterial part of the blood route of the organ with a decrease in its throughput. At the same time there was a thickening of the walls of the vessels, which occurred both at the expense of increasing their tone, and due to edema, which was confirmed by the enlightenment of the cytoplasm of the leiomyocytes of the medial cover and an increase in the distance between the nuclei of adjacent layers of the smooth muscle cells. The endothelium of these arteries looked swollen as evidenced by the protrusion of its nuclei into the lumen of the vessels in the form of a “palisade”. Such changes can be considered as a protective reaction that partially prevents hemodynamic overload of the hemomicrocirculatory channel, known in the scientific literature as the reflex of Kitaev. However, in spite of this, in the process of chronic poisoning with acetylsalicylic acid, the complete compensation of blood circulation in the kidneys does not occur. Prolonged vasoconstriction leads to the tissue ischemia, which may be the cause of the development and progression of functional and dystrophic changes in the structural components of the organ parenchyma as a morphological substrate of renal insufficiency. Confirmation of this can be considered the changes in the glomerular apparatus found during the study, which consisted in the gradual reduction of the total area of nephrons with the simultaneous decrease in the area of capillary glomeruli. Moreover, the decrease in the area of capillary glomeruli occurred more intensively, which led to the expansion of urinary spaces. In the final stage of the experiment, the capillary glomeruli were often in collaptoid condition, their size significantly decreased, and the contours became uneven-hilly. Thus, because of the chronic poisoning by acetylsalicylic acid in the kidneys appears stagnant disturbances of the organ circulation, which cause ascending vasoconstriction in the arterial part of the blood stream of the organ, which subsequently leads to ischemia and dystrophic changes in its parenchyma.

Published: January 2019

The extreme manifestation of atherosclerotic lesion of the arteries of the lower extremities is the critical ischemia of the lower extremities. The number of high amputations in such patients ranges from 120 to 500 per 1 million population in the general population annually. In order to achieve the best results in the patency of the arterial bed in the near and distant periods, revascularization of the arteries of the proximal and distal blood flow is necessary. The aim of the work was to evaluate the possibilities and effectiveness of endovascular, open and hybrid arterial interventions on the lower extremities, particularly in patients with multilevel arterial disease, by conducting a retrospective analysis of treatment of critical ischemia. The results of the preoperative ultrasound duplex scan (UDS) of the arteries of 212 patients with critical ischemia of the lower limbs (CILL) shoved, that in 78 (36.8%) were multilevel arterial lesions (MLAL). Patients were divided into two groups. The first (main group) consisted of 50 patients (64%), who have been restored to the open-end and endovascular methods of MLAL, or only endovascular. The second (control) group included 28 patients (36%) — with restoration of permeability of the proximal segment without intervention on the arteries of the distal. Installed, during the period of 16 months, postoperative observation of 78 patients with MLAL, the primary frontal area of the femoral reconstruction in the main group was 92%, and limb preservation - 96%. In the control group, the permeability of the reconstruction zone was 75%, limb preservation — 82%. Thus, it has been established that the most optimal method of recovery of inflow and outflow pathways is one-time hybrid surgical interventions performed in 88% of these patients, which allow to achieve more effectively the recurrence of ischemia and maintain limb.
“Golden” standard in the treatment of nephrolithiasis of both kidneys in combination with severe concomitant pathology (case report)
Authors: Slobodyanyuk V.A.
Published: January 2019

The problem of urolithiasis remains one of the key in modern urology today. Urolithiasis, its recurrent nature, often-severe complications and invalidation of patients has a high medical and social significance. Recently, more and more urolithiasis occurs in oblique and aging years and is usually accompanied by a serious accompanying somatic pathology, which is characterized by significant violations. The latter, on the one hand, may be a risk factor for the development of urolithiasis, but on the other requires a careful approach to the choice of therapeutic tactics. Improvement of endoscopic equipment contributed to the active introduction of noninvasive methods of surgical treatment of nephrolithiasis in the clinical practice. The “golden” standard for the removal of large and cortical stones is, today, a transdermal nephrolithotripsy. The staff of the clinic of the Institute of Urology of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine has a wealth of experience in the use of this method in the treatment of urolithiasis. The purpose of the work is to determine the effectiveness of percutaneous nephrolithotripsy in the treatment of nephrolithiasis in both kidneys, accompanied by severe comorbidity. The patient conducted general-clinical and biochemical tests of blood and urine, X-ray methods of examination, ultrasound examination of the abdominal cavity, MSCT. In the presented clinical observation in the patient, nephrolithiasis of both kidneys was diagnosed, accompanied by severe concomitant somatic pathology. Percutaneous nephrolithotripsy allowed two steps to remove all concrements, which once again proved the success of this method in the treatment of urolithiasis.

Polska i Polacy w dylogii Siergieja Łukjanienki "Brudnopis", "Czystopis"
Authors: Zywert Aleksandra
Published: January 2019

The research material in this work is the dilogy of Sergey Lukyanenko Rough Draft (Черновик, 2005) and Final Draft (Чистовик, 2007). In the first part (Rough Draft) the author focuses on the image of modern Russia, while in the second part (Final Draft) he expands his observations into Poland and its people. The image presented by the author notably duplicates ethnic and cultural stereotypes about Poland and Poles, fixed in the common consciousness of Russians. As a result, despite the objectivity declared by the author, it is difficult to consider the discussed novels a breakthrough in the context of the process of overcoming mutual prejudices between the neighboring nations on the basis of the literature.

Перцертивные метафоры в репрезентации концептов «ЖИЗНЬ» и «ŻУСIE»
Authors: Деева Наталья
Published: January 2019

A special role in the representation of abstract concepts belongs to the metaphor. The concept “life” in Russian and Polish languages is objectified through metaphors of perception. Metaphorically life is described through signs of color, taste, smell, tactile characteristics. The metaphors of perception, which are used as a means of representation of these concepts, are a way of expressing an emotional assessment. The similarity of a large number of metaphorical models in Russian and Polish languages says about stereotype representation by the speakers of both languages such abstract form as life.
Przyczynek do badań nad aspektem kulturowym Eneidy Iwana Kotlarewskiego w tłumaczeniu Piotra Kuprysia
Authors: Czetyrba-Piszczako Mirosława
Published: January 2019

Piotr Kupryś was the first Polish translator to fully translate two classical works fundamental for Ukrainian literature. These were: Kobzar by Taras Shevchenko and Eneida by Ivan Kotliarevsky. Kotliarevsky’s Eneida is a vivid example of adapting diverse elements of oral folklore culture in modern Ukrainian literature. The article analyses types of translation procedures the translator applied when dealing with cultural context. Generally speaking, Kupryś followed two strategies of rendering cultural elements: domestication – in order to adapt the target text to target readers’ knowledge; as well as foreignisation with explanation – thanks to which he enriched target readers’ knowledge about reality and culture of the source text.

The article is devoted to the study of the features of the mask topos in the novels of Witold Gombrowich Ferdydurke and Geo Shkurupia Doors in the day. On the basis of the basic concepts of carnivalization of Mikhail Bakhtin, features of the functioning of the mask image are considered, which is one of the means of expressing new forms of communication with the recipient and the metaphorical language. The mask in the experimental / avant-garde works determines the individual characters of the characters, contributes to the irony of the grotesque. The mask-stereotype in the novel by Witold Gombrowich is the bearer of a certain set of values of the hero, Geo Shkurupii through the mask of the death of the hero demonstrates the existential choice of the hero.

The author of the article revises the process of gradual deconstruction of soviet metanarrative in literature of Russia, Belorussia and Ukraine after 1991st. Each of those literatures built its own identity, which had to replace soviet cultural discourse. That process was contradictory, but still quite productive. Contemporary post-soviet literature is in boundary situation. It means that the crisis of the transition period has not been completely overcome. The main problems in creating of the national narratives are neo-imperial (in Russia) or neo-colonial (in Belorussia and Ukraine) tendencies.

The study of the history of Polish-Russian relations is possible thanks to documents preserved in Warsaw archives, publications in periodicals, memoirs and epistolatory culture. A three-volume edition of the correspondence of Jerzy Stempowski and Maria Dąbrowska from the years 1926–1965 is a full source reconstruction. This correspondence has preserved not only the biographical facts of the private life of both writers, but also a wide social and historical context. Jerzy Stempowski, son of Stanisław Stempowski and author of the novel The Adventures of a Thinking Man was the long-term life partner of Maria Dąbrowska in the Forties, and the two also became intellectual partners. An acquaintance with their correspondence allows us to better recognize their place in Polish-Russian relations in the interwar and post-war periods, and the history of Russian emigration in Poland.
Czy w ZSRR kręcono thrillery?
Authors: Cybulski Marcin
Published: January 2019

This article is an attempt to answer the question whether, in the specific conditions in which the cinematography of the Soviet Union was created and developed, we can talk about the production of thrillers. The notion of the thriller is considered and attention is paid to the problem of the definition of the term itself and the fact that some researchers do not treat the thriller as a genre at all. The thriller, associated by the Soviet decision-makers with Western culture (and thus also American), was perceived as a bourgeois creation, which made it an undesirable genre in the Soviet Union. Nevertheless, for many years immediately after the end of World War II and at the very end of the existence of the historical empire, a series of films were created and they could be called thrillers in the general modern sense of the word. Titles of Soviet films created in the years 1947–1991 have been chosen from the rich resources of cinematography of our eastern neighbours. At the cinema historian’s workshop, there were both images of well-known and popular Soviet directors (Boris Barnet, Stanisław Goworouchin, Eldar Riazanow), as well as slightly less known personalities, (Gieorgij Nikulin, Boris Durow).

Published: January 2019

After ascending the throne Alexander I started to realize his youthful ideas of ruling the empire. The Polish people were involved in implementing his plans for reform. Duke Adam Jerzy Czartoryski and count Seweryn Potocki were among them. As a the result of the Tsar’s reforms, the internal organization of the Russian Empire changed diametrically. Education was the best example of such adjustments. The Tsar appointed Czartoryski and Potocki as ‘geheimrats’; they were his close cooperators and took part in carrying out the reforms. Czartoryski became a father figure to Alexander I. The Tsar respected his opinions, which influenced the policy direction. During the Napoleonic Wars Czartoryski was especially at the service of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, he seemed to be much more active in organising a modern school system in Russia in the years 1805–1824 when he was acting as chief education officer for the Vilnius Educational District.

The article is an attempt to present the impressions of Andrey Muraviev, religious writer, theologian, poet, playwright, church and state activist, from his stay in Vilnius in 1863, on the basis of his work entitled The Russian Vilnius. It consists of six essays on Vilnius religious monuments: the Chapel of Our Lady of Ostra Brama, St. Paraskeva Orthodox church, Orthodox cathedral of Our Most Holy Lady, Orthodox church of translation of St Nicholas’ relics, Holy Trinity cathedral, Holy Spirit church and monastery complex. The author was only interested in monuments which would document the city’s connections to Russia and Orthodox Christianity. His reflections might be considered as a literary justification for the program of Russification of the north-west country, developed by the writer’s brother, Mikhail, who went down in Polish historical memory as Veshatiel.
Dzieci i ryby głosu nie mają? O kształtowaniu kompetencji społecznych i językowych w procesie nauczania języka rosyjskiego

Published: January 2019

In the modern world, foreign languages are a tool being used in work by many young persons, and as a consequence – students are interested in the practical knowledge of a foreign language. There are not many useful tools to learn Russian on the market, and those available do not satisfy the needs, so we use different methods in the process of teaching – exercises with the elements of competition, games and its mechanics (e.g. our original project of a language game, city language game). It allows us to watch to which extent students are aware of group processes they participate in, and how those processes influence their motivation to learn a foreign language. The results of our research show that the methods we use have the impact on the social competencies of students and the effect they have on each other is linked directly with their motivation to improve their language skills. It is crucial to recognise the impact of group processes on a person, because when these processes are efficiently managed they become a useful tool in planning the strategy of teaching in order to improve students’ efficiency in obtaining their goals. However, the group influence on a single person and the facilitation are not new issues, they are still interesting and requiring new research.

Published: January 2019

This study is aimed at the extraction and chemical analysis of the essential oils of the leaves and flowers of Lavandula stoechas L growing in northeastern Algeria. The hydrodistilled oils isolated from leaves (0.75%) and flowers (0.6%) were characterized by fifty-two and sixtyfour compounds, respectively. Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis demonstrated that both organs revealed the presence of fenchone and camphor as the major compounds. However, the highest percentage of fenchone (52.7%) was observed in the flowers oil; whereas, the percentage of camphor (25.94%) was significantly higher in the leaves oil in comparison with its content in flowers oil (15.52%). Other predominant compounds in leaves and flowers oils were, respectively, as follows: 1.8-cineole (4.84% and 4.02%), camphene (4.55% and 3.23%), bornyl acetate (3.06% and 4.43%), α-terpinolene (1.09% and 1.45%), viridiflorol (1.51% and 1.39%), and α- pinene (0.5% and 1.5%). The quantitative and qualitative data proved that the chemical profile of both organs of Lavandula stoechas native to Algeria was approximately close. The oil chemical composition is susceptible to the influence of environmental factors (soil, climate). The biological activity (antimicrobial and antioxidant) of the two oils from Lavandula stoechas L., native to this Algerian region is under study.

Aim: In this study, we evaluated the carcinostatic effects of combined ascorbic acid (AsA) and a capacitive-resistive electric transfer (CRet) hyperthermic apparatus-induced hyperthermic treatment on Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) cells. Materials and Methods: EAT cells were exposed to various AsA (0–10 mM) concentrations for 1 h; they subsequently underwent CRet treatment for 15 min at 42 °C. Cell viability was assessed by the WST-8 assay 24 h after the combined treatment. Reactive oxygen species involvement was evaluated using catalase and tempol; caspase-3/7 activation was determined by their fluorescent substrates; cell proliferation were estimated by time-lapse observation. The effect on the cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry. Results: Combined AsA and CRet treatment synergistically suppressed cell viability compared with either treatment alone, and these synergistically carcinostatic effects were evident even at noncytotoxic concentrations of AsA alone (≤ 2 mM). The carcinostatic effects of combined AsA and CRet treatment were attenuated in a dose-dependent manner by catalase addition, but not by the superoxide anion radical scavenger tempol. Time-lapse observation revealed that combined AsA and CRet treatment activated caspase-3/7 at 10–24 h after treatment, accompanied by significant cell growth suppression. Cell cycle analysis revealed that the rate of sub-G1-phase (apoptotic) cells was drastically increased at 12 h and 24 h, and that the G2/M-phase cells gradually increased at 6–24 h after treatment. Conclusion: These results indicate that combined AsA and CRet treatment synergistically inhibits EAT cell growth through G2/M arrest and apoptosis induction via H2O2 generation at lower AsA concentrations; this carcinostatic effect cannot be exert ed by AsA alone.

Aim: To study the correcting effects of microgranulated HSGD enterosorbent on hematological, morphological and biochemical indices of paraneoplastic syndrome in mice with highly angiogenic variant of Lewis lung carcinoma LLC/R9. Methods: The study was performed on male С57/ВL6 mice with transplanted LLC/R9. Enterosorbent HSGD was administered daily at a dose of 0.625 g/kg for 2 weeks starting from 7th day after tumor cell transplantation. When enterosorption was completed, an analysis of peripheral blood, biochemical indices and morphological structure of tumor, lung, liver, spleen and thymus was carried out by standard methods. Results: It has been shown that administration of enterosorbent did not affect LLC/R9 growth but resulted in nearly two fold decrease of the volume of lung metastases (p < 0.05). Erythrocyte number and hemoglobin level were higher by 30.0% (p < 0.05) and 23.3% (p < 0.05), respectively, in mice treated with enterosorbents as compared to untreated animals. In addition sorbent treatment completely normalized the thrombocyte index resulting in elevation of platelet number by 54.5% (p < 0.01) up to their level in intact mice. The morphological examination of liver and biochemical analysis of peripheral blood evidenced on significant positive correcting effect of enterosorption on histological structure of this organ and its functional activ ity. Normalization of total proteins and serum albumin level as well as significant decrease of total lipid concentration by 29% (p < 0.01) in blood of treated mice were observed. Conclusion: Positive influence of microgranulated carbon sorbent on some hematological, morphological and biochemical indices of tumor associated symptoms in LLC/R9-bearing mice denotes that enterosorption-based therapy can be considered as a prospective treatment for correction of some paraneoplastic syndrome signs in cancer patients.

Published: January 2019

Aim: To demonstrate quantitative assessment of tumor response to treatment in patients with follicular lymphoma using parallel monitoring of minimal residual disease (MRD) and diffusion-weighted MRI (MRI-DWI) derived apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC). Materials and Methods: Two patients with follicular lymphoma were undergone synchronous evaluation of MRD and MRI-DWI at definite time points before, during and after chemotherapy. MRD level was calculated in diagnostic and follow up samples relative to the highest level of amplification of the target. Allele-specific primer for clonal IgH gene rearrangement was used as a target for real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). 1.5 Tesla scanner was used for MRI-DWI. The largest non necrotic lymph node was chosen for serial ADC measurement. Results: In first patient MRD reduced drastically in blood after chemotherapy but persisted at low level in bone marrow. Whole body MRI-DWI demonstrated regression of most of tumor lesions except one m arginally enlarged iliac lymph node and allowed to predict tumor progression in this particular anatomical site based on low ADC value after treatment. In the second patient all three methods (MRD, ADC and radiologic evaluation) gave concordant result of complete tumor response and patient remained in a clinical remission during follow-up time. Conclusion: Quantitative PCR measurement may detect very low level of MRD in patients with follicular lymphoma which may have prognostic value. Combination of both PCR-based MRD and quantitative evaluation of MRI-DWI derived ADC provides safe added-value disease monitoring in lymphoma.

Authors: Smorodin E P , Sergeyev B L
Published: January 2019

Background: The serum levels of IgG antibodies reactive to glycoconjugates (TF, Tn and αGal) were found to be associated with prognosis of gastrointestinal cancer patients. Aim: To study the relation between the levels of serum antibodies to TF-pAA, Tn-PAA and αGal-PAA polyacrylamide-based glycoconjugates and survival in breast cancer. Materials and Methods: The preoperative level of IgG antibodies was analysed in the serum of patients (n = 59) using ELISA with polyacrylamide-glycoconjugates namely, TF-pAA (amide-type), and ethanolamide-conjugates Tn-PAA and αGal-PAA. Survival rate and hazard ratio (HR) were assessed by the Kaplan — Meier method and Cox univariate analysis in different pathomorphological groups. Results: Significantly better survival was observed in patients with an increased level of anti-TF-pAA antibodies both for all patients in total and groups in stages II–III; N1–2 and G3 (p = 0.008–0.021, HR = 0.18–0.23, mean survival time in months 164–186 vs 69–121). A trend to worse survival was observed in increased level of anti-Tn IgG (stages II–III) and anti-αGal IgG (G3): p = 0.075, HR = 2.49 and p = 0.066, HR = 3.27, respectively. Conclusion: The method for the determination of circulating anti-TF-pAA IgG may be a useful supplement in long-term prognostic assessment of patients with breast cancer.

Published: January 2019

Aim: To investigate the role of hepcidin (Hepc) in the formation of cells malignant phenotype in vitro and its expression in the dyna mics of growth of Walker-256 carcinosarcoma with different sensitivity to doxorubicin (Dox). Materials and Methods: The cell lines used in the analysis included T47D, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, MCF/CP, and MCF/Dox. Hepc expression was studied by immunocytochemical method. “Free” iron content was determined by EPR spectroscopy. Determination of Hepc expression in homogenates of tumor tissue and in blood serum of rats with Dox-sensitive and -resistant Walker-256 carcinosarcoma was performed. Results: It was found that Hepc levels in breast cancer (BC) cells with high degree of malignancy (MDA-MB-231, MDAMB-468) and drug-resistant phenotype (MCF/CP, MCF/Dox) were by 1.5–2 times higher (p < 0.05) in comparison with sensitive and less malignant BC cells. The development of drug-resistant phenotype in Walker-256 carcinosarcoma cells was accompanied by increasing of Hepc and “free” iron content (by 2.4 and 1.2 times, respectively). Conclusion: The data of in vitro and in vivo research evidenced on involvement of Hepc in formation of BC cells malignant phenotype and their resistance to Dox.

Published: January 2019

Aim: To compare biological properties of primary tumor cells isolated from malignant effusion of cancer patients with the same cells of permanent lines established during their long-term cultivation in vitro and to assess the impact of phenotypic conversion that was caused by changes in their microenvironment on their behavioral characteristics. Materials and Methods: The study was performed on primary cell cultures from pleural effusion or ascites of breast and ovarian cancer and permanent cell lines derived from them, namely permanent ovarian cancer cell line I, permanent ovarian cancer cell line II and permanent breast cancer cell line I. Biological characteristics were studied using standard cell culture methods and immunocytochemical assays. Results: Three new cell lines were established from breast and ovarian cancer and cell morphology, migration activity, the kinetics of growth, colony forming activity in semisolid agar and sensitivity to anticancer drug were examined. These characteristics were compared with those of the primary tumor cells. It has been shown that among the primary tumor cells from malignant effusion, cells with mesenchymal characteristics were the most prevalent. Cultivation of primary cancer cells in vitro leads to a phenotypic change of their population: it becomes more homogeneous in morphology with predominantly epithelial-like cells. Also, later after a number of cell doublings in vitro, the cell population changes to include cells primarily with immunophenotypic properties characteristic of epithelial cells. These changes include increase in number of E-cadherin-positive cells and a decrease in number of vimentin and α- smooth muscle actin-positive cells. It was found that significant changes in expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition associated proteins in cells during their cultivation in vitro in new microenvironment are accompanied by a rapid change in their sensitivity to anticancer drugs. Conclusions: The new breast and ovarian cancer cell lines were established and characterized. The induction of phenotypic transdifferentiation in malignant cells from pleural effusion and ascites can be an important approach for suppressing the progression of neoplastic process.
