Published: October 2021

Failure to diagnose bipolar disorder (BD) in time leads to an increase in suicide risk, worse prognosis of the disease, and an increase in the socioeconomic burden.Aim: to assess the incidence of comorbidity of bipolar disorder (BD) and other mental and behavioral disorders, as well as the sequence of formation of this multimorbidity.Patients and methods: in the Affective States Department of the Mental Health Research Institute TNRMC, 121 patients with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder were selected for the study group according to the ICD-10 diagnostic criteria. The predominance of women in the study group was revealed (n = 83; 68.6%; p < 0.01). Median age of male patients was 36 [30; 54] years, for females — 47 [34; 55] years.Results: data were obtained on a high level of comorbidity in the study group: in 46.3% of patients, BD was combined with another mental disorder. It was found that personality disorders as a comorbid disorder in type I bipolar disorder are less common than in type II bipolar disorder. Gender differences were found in the incidence of anxiety-phobic spectrum and substance use disorders in bipolar disorder. The features of the chronology of the development of bipolar disorder and associated mental disorders have been revealed.Conclusion: in the case of bipolar disorder, there is a high likelihood of comorbidity with other mental disorders. Certain patterns in the chronology of the formation of comorbid relationships between BD and concomitant mental and behavioral disorders were revealed.

Introduction: cell-free plasma DNA (cfDNA) is used as a marker refl ecting the level of apoptosis in the human body under stress. Acute psychosis caused by endogenous (schizophrenia) and exogenous (alcohol intoxication) factors in the patient’s body is associated with oxidative stress. Presumably, cfDNA concentration in the blood plasma of patients with acute psychoses of endogenous and exogenous etiology is increased. The purpose of the study: comparative analysis of the cfDNA concentration in the blood plasma of treated and untreated patients with paranoid schizophrenia during the disease exacerbation, patients with alcoholic psychosis and healthy volunteers. Patients and methods: the concentration of cfDNA was determined in the blood plasma samples of 476 people: control group (n = 95); patients with schizophrenia in the acute stage of the disease (n = 334); patients with alcoholic psychosis (n = 47). Results: the concentrations of cfDNA in the plasma of patients with schizophrenia (median 931 ng/ml) is 2.2 times higher than in the control group (median 428 ng/ml) and 1.8 times higher than in the patients with alcoholic psychosis (504 ng/ml). For the patients with schizophrenia with high PANSS, we found the highest values of the cfDNA concentration in the blood plasma during psychosis, which indicates a more pronounced systemic process, which is accompanied by the cell death level increase. Conclusions: the concentration of cfDNA in the blood plasma could be used as a biochemical marker that refl ects the severity of the schizophrenia patient’ state upon admission to the hospital.

Authors: Khazieva R. T. , Mukhametshin A. N.
Published: October 2021

OBJECT. When developing DC test voltage sources to assess the insulation quality of high-voltage equipment, the task is to measure the leakage current flowing through the test object.

METHODS. When solving the problem the authors proposed a technical solution for measuring the current flowing through the test when testing insulation with rectified voltage, which uses a precision resistor, an isolating amplifier, a 2-channel operational amplifier with a unipolar power supply, zero voltage drift, and an ADC of a microcontroller.

RESULTS. The article in the course of the study of the stand of the circuit for measuring the leakage current flowing through the tested object when testing the insulation with rectified voltage, an experimental industrial sample was created, which makes it possible to measure the leakage current value in the range from 10 μA to 1000 μA. The use of the developed circuit for measuring the current flowing through the test object when testing the insulation with rectified voltage makes it possible to calculate the DC component of the voltage signal from the alternating signal and in real time, and, therefore, to quickly monitor the current in high-voltage circuits for continuous monitoring.

CONCLUSION. So the introduction of this sample will make it possible, on its basis, to create a number of digital measuring microammeters that make it possible to measure the leak-age current in high-voltage test installations for testing the insulation of objects from 15 nF to 200 nF, in the leakage current measurement range from 10 μA to 1000 μA. The results obtained can be used in high voltage technology to study circuits for measuring the leakage current flowing through the test object when testing insulation with rectified voltage.
Research of the two-circuit combined-cycle cogeneration plant’s behavior according to the temperature chart
Authors: Treshchev D. A. , Treshcheva M. A. , Kolbantseva D. L. , Kalyutik A. A.
Published: October 2021

THE PURPOSE. To consider the actual problem of determining the optimum value of the connected heat load to the cogeneration combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) of the heat generation profile.

METHHODS. Simulation modeling of operation modes using the "United Cycle" software is applied as a research method of the considered power unit operation. We studied several regimes of heat supply from the considered CCGTs during the heating period with the determination of integral annual indicators, as well as the relative fuel savings compared to the separate generation and the increase in the specific integral economic effect for different values of the cogeneration coefficient.

RESULTS. We found that the optimal cogeneration coefficient for the object of study is 0.49. However, the value of the optimal cogeneration coefficient, determined by the condition of maximizing the specific integral economic effect for the object of research, is also 0.49.

CONCLUSION. Determining the optimal unit commitment, which influences not only the initial investment, but also the expected operating (fuel) costs, is a pressing issue in power plant design. We present a basis for the possibility of using the indicator of relative fuel economy compared to separate generation as an optimization criterion. This parameter is widely used for optimization of combined heat and power units under conditions of planned economy. Under current economic conditions, it is possible to obtain a direct link between the incremental net discounted income from combined production and the relative fuel savings. This method can be used to analyze and optimize the mix of CCGT equipment regardless of geographical area, type of power system, energy resources cost, market conditions, as well as the characteristics of the used equipment.

Gravity anomalies can yield an indirect but extremely useful picture of lateral changes in rock composition and structural patterns especially for rapid development area such as Johor region. The gravity anomalies can be derived from Global Geopotential Model (GGM) which is one of special product from the satellite technology that able to determine high accuracy of the earth’s gravity field. In this study, the gravity anomalies derived from recent GGM published by International Global Geopotential Model were compared with five other GGMs model that compromised either terrestrial or airborne or both to derive the gravity anomalies. In order to identify the best gravity model over the Johor region, two types of GGM class model has been selected for the comparisons which known as satellite only and combined class model. The result shows that the gravity anomalies de-rived from satellite only class model with up 300 spherical harmonic coefficients is the best fit model and can be used as a reference for the Johor region. The RSME for the recent GGM via satellite only were +/- 5.865 and +/- 3.347 mGal for terrestrial and airborne gravity anomalies respectively compared to other GGM.
A comparative study of SAM and ADDIE models in simulating STEM instruction
Authors:   Department of Basic Education, Faculty of Educational Studies, University of Education, Winneba, Ghana., Ali Clement Ayarebilla
Published: October 2021

The study compared exhaustively the Successive Approximation Model (SAM) and Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement and Evaluate (ADDIE) model on the teaching and learning of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics subjects in Ghana. We selected a sample of 30 student-teachers who offered Mathematics and Science in the distance mode of the University of Education, Winneba, Ghana in the 2018/2019 academic year. The first stage of the analysis compared the models separately within the Vygotskian framework using pre-post experiemtal design. The second stage made comparisons between and within the two models. The results of both stages showed that student-teachers preferred mostly SAM to ADDIE instructional models. There were not only consistently higher mean gains in the latter model, but the group averages of student-teachers in the post-treatment results also demonstrated clear improvements. Again, student-teachers showed tremendous improvements in the conceptual understanding of both models. However, the Successive Approximation Model recorded much more improvements in both pre-treatment and post-treatment results. It was therefore imperative to conclude that the Successive Approximation Model was more properly situated in the context of teaching and learning Mathematics and Science. We, therefore, recommended experimental explorations of SAM for STEM.

Published: October 2021

Objective: Despite the implementation of quality assurance procedures, current clinical trial management processes are time-consuming, costly, and often susceptible to error. This can result in limited trust, transparency, and process inefficiencies, without true patient empowerment. The objective of this study was to determine whether blockchain technology could enforce trust, transparency, and patient empowerment in the clinical trial data management process, while reducing trial cost.
Design: In this proof of concept pilot, we deployed a Hyperledger Fabric-based blockchain system in an active clinical trial setting to assess the impact of blockchain technology on mean monitoring visit time and cost, non-compliances, and user experience. Using a parallel study design, we compared differences between blockchain technology and standard methodology.
Results: A total of 12 trial participants, seven study coordinators and three clinical research associates across five sites participated in the pilot. Blockchain technology significantly reduces total mean monitoring visit time and cost versus standard trial management (475 to 7 min; P = 0.001; €722 to €10; P = 0.001 per participant/visit, respectively), while enhancing patient trust, transparency, and empowerment in 91, 82 and 63% of the patients, respectively. No difference in non-compliances as a marker of trial quality was detected.
Conclusion: Blockchain technology holds promise to improve patient-centricity and to reduce trial cost compared to conventional clinical trial management. The ability of this technology to improve trial quality warrants further investigation.
Parmenides’ First Attack on the Forms
Authors: d’Hoine Pieter
Published: October 2021

This paper provides a case study for the use of syllogistic reconstructions in the commentaries on Plato by the fifth-century commentator Proclus. The paper discusses Proclus’ reconstruction of the argument about the range of the Forms in Plato’s Parmenides (130b–e). In his commentary on this dialogue, Proclus reports a syllogistic reconstruction of the argument proposed by some of his predecessors. In this reconstruction, the argument as a whole is interpreted as a straightforward attack on the existence of Forms, while the different premises of the hypothetical syllogism represent the respective positions of Parmenides and Socrates in the discussion. For Proclus, however, the argument about the range of Forms is not meant to be critical of the Forms, but rather provides a positive instruction about their range of application. I argue that while Proclus finds the syllogism a useful tool to reconstruct the different positions in the exegetical history of the argument, he does not accept it as an adequate reconstruction on his own account. The argument can be traced back most likely to the so-called ‘logical’ interpretations of the Parmenides that Proclus discusses – and dismisses – in the prologue to his commentary.
Deduction and Common Notions in Alexander’s Commentary on Aristotle’s Metaphysics A 1–2
Authors: de Haas Frans A. J.
Published: October 2021

In this paper I explore the ways in which Alexander of Aphrodisias employs and develops so-called ‘common notions’ as reliable starting points of deductive arguments. He combines contemporary developments in the Stoic and Epicurean use of common notions with Aristotelian dialectic, and axioms. This more comprehensive concept of common notions can be extracted from Alexander’s commentary on Metaphysics A 1–2. Alexander puts Aristotle’s claim that ‘all human beings by nature desire to know’ in a larger deductive framework, and adds weight to Aristotle’s use of the common understanding of the notion of ‘wisdom’. Finally I will indicate how these upgraded common notions are meant to play an important role in the general framework of metaphysics as a science.
INVESTIGATION OF CHANGES IN THE AMOUNT OF FAILURES TRANSMISSIONS OF CITY BUSES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
Authors: Bulatov Sergey
Published: October 2021

The purpose of the study is to determine the amount of bus transmission failures under the influence of climatic conditions during urban operation. The task is to define the frequency of consumption of parts and transmission units of city buses by the example of PAZ brand, taking into account the data of motor transport enterprises, as well as to assess the influence of seasons using harmonic method. Indicators of actual and estimated demand for parts of transmission units and other elements of vehicles will allow to predict the amount of stock and possible costs for the next year, and spare parts that may remain in warehouses in certain months can be redistributed during the year, thereby preserving the annual volume of orders. Consequently, the total operating costs will remain at the same level, which for the logistics service is a positive factor for solving planning tasks. The actual need for spare parts turned out to be 13% higher on average than the indicators obtained during experimental studies, which confirms the great influence of such a factor as climatic conditions during the operation of vehicles.
Beyond the Headlines: Trends and Future Directions in the School Closure Literature
Authors: Ewing Eve L. , Green Terrance L.
Published: October 2021

With the looming impacts of COVID-19 on district budgets, the growth of school choice options, and population shifts across urban, suburban, and rural contexts, an increasing number of districts have closed schools and more districts are expected to follow this trend. Rich scholarship has examined school closures; however, this field of research is limited in scope and methodological approach, and overwhelmingly focuses on the mass urban school closures of the mid-2010s. This offers a timely opportunity to consider new directions in the field. In this article, we identify trends in the scholarship on school closures by examining the empirical research in this area over nearly two decades. We conclude by offering a research agenda for future scholarship on school closures.

Socioeconomic
conditions limit the learning achievement of young and adult students in
vulnerable situations in Peru and Latin America. In this context, the study
focuses on determining the relationship between teaching and the results of
learning processes in students of alternative basic education in an educational
area of Lima. A
non-experimental, descriptive correlational design was used for this purpose. The
statistical analysis of Spearman's test showed positive correlations between
learning outcomes and the work performed by teachers. In the context of social
isolation, the study determined that the components of teaching work generate
encouraging results in student populations affected by different situations of
social vulnerability. Emotional support evidences a greater preponderance in
learning compared to programmatic dosage and the use of technological tools.

Decline of sea-ice in the Greenland Sea intensifies extreme precipitation over Svalbard
Authors: Muller Malte , Kelder Timo , Palerme Cyril
Published: October 2021

Extreme precipitation over the Svalbard Archipelago in the Arctic can have severe consequences for the ecosystem and society. In recent years several extreme precipitation events have been observed at Ny Ålesund, a weather station in the north-western part of the Svalbard Archipelago. The most recent observed events in the years 2012, 2016, and 2018 were the highest events in the entire precipitation record from 1974 till today. The key question of our study is whether those recently observed extremes are part of a climate change signal or are a random accumulation of extremes. With a novel approach based on a large ensemble of model simulations, we show that the likelihood of occurrence for extreme precipitation over Svalbard has increased over the last four decades. We find that the likelihood of occurrence is connected to the sea ice extent east of Greenland because the presence of sea ice shields the west coast of Svalbard from the incoming southerly moist air. Our analysis suggests, that in the future with a further decline of the sea ice coverage east of Greenland, the recently observed precipitation extremes will become even more frequent.

Published: October 2021

Climate change and an increase in the number of major fire events occurring around the world have drawn attention to the importance of understanding the association between air pollution events and mental health. In 2014, the Morwell open-cut brown coal mine adjacent to the Hazelwood power station in the Latrobe Valley region of Victoria, Australia, caught fire as a result of nearby wildfires, and exposed the local community to a prolonged period of deteriorated air quality. The aim of this study was to examine how exposure to coal mine fire-related fine particulate matter (PM2.5) during the event affected the utilisation of local health services for mental health conditions (ambulance attendances; emergency department (ED) presentations; hospital admissions). A time-series analysis indicated that mine fire-related PM2.5 exposure was associated with short-term increases in ambulance attendances and ED presentations but not hospital admissions. To allow for delays between exposure and changes in service utilisation, different lag periods were assessed. The most prominent effects were observed over a 5-day lag period where, for each 10µg/m3 increase in daily mean mine fire-related PM2.5, the risk of an ambulance attendance for anxiety increased by 34% (95%CI: 8% to 67%) and the risk of an ED presentation for depression increased by 36% (95%CI: 3% to 79%). Accordingly, ambulance and hospital services should expect to encounter an increase in the number of people seeking assistance for mental health conditions during extreme air pollution events and mechanisms need to be in place to ensure that surges in demand for mental health care during these circumstances can be accommodated.
Incidental Exposure to Categories
Authors: Unger Layla , Sloutsky Vladimir
Published: October 2021

Our knowledge of the world is populated with categories such as dogs, cups, and chairs. Such categories shape how we perceive, remember, and reason about their members. Much of our exposure to the entities we come to categorize occurs incidentally as we experience and interact with them in our everyday lives, with limited access to explicit teaching. This research investigated whether incidental exposure contributes to building category knowledge by rendering people "ready-to-learn" - allowing them to rapidly capitalize on brief access to explicit teaching. Across five experiments (N = 438), we found that incidental exposure did produce a ready-to-learn effect, even when learners showed no evidence of robust category learning during exposure. Importantly, this readiness to learn occurred only when categories possessed a rich structure in which many features were correlated within categories. These findings offer a window into how our everyday experiences may contribute to building category knowledge.

The mediating role of anthropomorphism in adopting the intentional stance towards humanoid robots
Authors: Marchesi Serena , Spatola Nicolas , Wykowska Agnieszka
Published: October 2021

Evidence from cognitive psychology showed that cultural differences influence human social cognition, leading to a different activation of social cognitive mechanisms. A growing corpus of literature in Human-Robot Interaction is investigating how culture shapes cognitive processes like anthropomorphism or mind attribution when humans face artificial agents, such as robots. The present paper aims at disentangling the relationship between cultural values, anthropomorphism, and intentionality attribution to robots, in the context of the intentional stance theory. We administered a battery of tests to 600 participants from various nations worldwide and modeled our data with a path model. Results showed a consistent direct influence of collectivism on anthropomorphism but not on the adoption of the intentional stance. Therefore, we further explored this result with a mediation analysis that revealed anthropomorphism as a true mediator between collectivism and the adoption of the intentional stance. We conclude that our findings extend previous literature by showing that the adoption of the intentional stance towards humanoid robots depends on anthropomorphic attribution in the context of cultural values.

Authors: Sharma Pawan , Singh Swarndeep , Tiwari Umakanta , Ranjan Rahul , Lekhak Nabin , Acharya Sajan
Published: October 2021

Introduction: The current COVID-19 pandemic has increased emotional and physical toll on healthcare workers. The burnout among doctors could be another psychological outcome due to this. Considering the dearth of literature we planned this study with an aim to explore burnout and its correlates among medical doctors of Nepal.

Material And Method: An online survey using a cross-sectional design and purposive sampling was conducted during the lock-down due to COVID-19 pandemic in Nepal. The tools used were basic proforma, Copenhagen Burn out Inventory (CBI) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis (bivariate analysis followed by multiple linear regression) was performed with an objective to study prevalence of burnout and its correlates among the medical doctors.

Results: The average age of participants was 30.44 years with the majority being male. All the study participants reported moderate to severe level of perceived stress. Around half of them reported moderate to high burnout. The multiple linear regression analyses showed that perceived stress, and working in surgical department were significant correlates for personal and work-related burnout among medical doctors. Additionally, being front-line worker was a significant correlate for client-related burnout.

Conclusion: The burden and severity of burnout and perceived stress reported by the medical doctors during COVID-19 pandemic in the present study, suggests it to be an important mental health issue in Nepal. Suitable interventions for targeting this urgent issue of effectively reducing the burnout are warranted.

There is a gender difference in many aspect of alcohol use. The aim of the study was to study the sociodemographic profile, severity, gender difference and psychiatric comorbidities in patient with alcohol dependence syndrome in Nepalese population.

Material And Method: This is a hospital based study done in patients coming to Nepalgunj Medical College, Kohalpur over a period of one year from June 2019 to May 2020 on consecutive serial basis. Diagnosis of alcohol dependence was made based on International Classification of Disease-10 (ICD-10) criteria. Semi structured proforma and Severity of Alcohol Dependence Questionnaire (SADQ) was applied in those patients and recorded accordingly. The data was analyzed using SPSS.

Results: Out of 40 patients studied (N-40), 37 (92.5 %) were male and 3 (7.5 %) were female. Alcohol dependence is most common in the age bracket of 30-39 (43.1%) followed by 40-49 (33.4 %) with mean age of 40.3 years and the mean age of duration of alcohol use being 13.45 years. The mean amount of alcohol consumed per day is 92.25 grams. The SADQ scores, age of first alcohol use, duration of alcohol use in years and daily amount of alcohol use in grams is significantly different between male and female. Similarly there is severe alcohol dependence in 75 % while moderate level in 25 % of study population. Regarding psychiatric comorbidities, 90 % have comorbid other substance use disorder followed by anxiety disorders in 37.5 %, personality disorders in 35 %, mood disorders in 32.5 %, deliberate self harm in 30 % and psychotic disorders in 12.5 %.

Conclusion: Alcohol dependence is most commonly found in young and adults of various age group. Age of first alcohol use, duration of alcohol use in years and daily amount of alcohol use in grams is significantly different between male and female. Alcohol dependence is comorbid with multiple psychiatric entities.

Abstract: Interest in participatory evaluation and other collaborative inquiry approaches has risen substantially over the past few decades. However, there appears to be a lack of practical information about using and applying participatory evaluation approaches on the ground. This Practice Note uses a participatory impact evaluation of a leadership development program for people living with HIV and findings from a meta-evaluation of this work to describe the participatory evaluation approach adopted, challenges and lessons learned related to conducting a participatory evaluation, and some key factors and implications to consider for maximizing the success of future participatory evaluations.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: The quality of diabetes care is widely suboptimal, and most of the interventions depend on the active involvement and participation of patients. Understanding and determining patient related factors can help primary care providers pay more attention and give greater care to those patients. This will improve patient satisfaction, which further enhances compliance with or adherence to diabetic treatment. Therefore, this study aims to determine patient satisfaction with doctor-patient interaction and its associated factors among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed among adults who had had diabetes for at least six months. Participants were selected by systemic random sampling in the outpatient clinic of the University Hospital. Patient satisfaction with doctor-patient interaction was measured using 11- items with a three-domain version of the “Skala Kepuasan Interaksi Perubatan-11” questionnaire. The total scores ranged from 11 to 55, and those who scored 44 and above (> 80%) were considered satisfied.

Results: A total of 417 patients were recruited in the study. 60% were satisfied with their doctor-patient interactions. Among the subtypes in the satisfied group, the domain of rapport had the highest percentage of satisfaction at 77.7%. HbA1c was found to be significant associated with patient satisfaction with doctor-patient interaction (95% CI: 0.81, 0.97; p = 0.008)

Conclusion: 60% of the participants clearly illustrated positive feedback and were more satisfied with their doctor-patient interactions. HbA1c was found to be significantly associated with patient satisfaction concerning doctor-patient interaction
Kritisch realisme en innovatie

De rol van verpleegkundig specialisten in het realiseren van goede zorg impliceert een actieve inzet bij innovatie en onderzoek. Op deze rol worden verpleegkundig specialisten al tijdens hun opleiding voorbereid door het schrijven van hun master thesis. De kwaliteit van zorg roept de vraag op naar de aard van de kennis die daarvoor nodig is en ook hoe deze kennis tot stand komt. Na een filosofische beschouwing over de objectiviteit of de subjectiviteit van kennis wordt geponeerd dat het kritisch realisme een uitweg biedt uit deze discussie en bovendien een pragmatische benadering mogelijk maakt voor onderzoek ten behoeve van innovaties. Het kritisch realisme zullen we vertalen naar een praktisch model voor verpleegkundig specialisten die innovatie onderzoek doen. Het model zal geïllustreerd worden aan de hand van een praktijkvoorbeeld. Uiteindelijk zal de kritisch realistische onderzoekspraktijk recht doen aan de emancipatoire gedachte die in de gezondheidszorg en het kwaliteitsdenken sterk aanwezig is.

Цитоскелетные белки септины участвуют во многих клеточных процессах, изменение их экспрессии является маркером онкологических заболеваний. В связи с этим септины могут являться потенциальной мишенью при воздействии на раковые клетки. Для поиска новых малых молекул, влияющих на структурную организацию септиновых филаментов, был проведен виртуальный скрининг библиотеки соединений базы данных PubChem и выбрано наиболее аффинное вещество из всех - флавоноид процианидин В3. С помощью молекулярного моделирования показано, что процианидин В3 взаимодействует с мономером септина SEPT9 в важной для связывания ГТФ области G1- и G4-мотивов и предотвращает димеризацию септиновых мономеров. Следовательно, процианидин В3 может рассматриваться как перспективное соединение для воздействия на структуру септиновых филаментов раковых клеток.

Для выявления участия K+-каналов в механизме ингибиторного пресинаптического действия пуриновых соединений в нервно-мышечном синапсе холоднокровных животных изучали эффекты АТФ и аденозина на параметры токов концевой пластинки нервно-мышечного синапса лягушек Rana ridibunda, в том числе и на фоне модулирующих синаптическую передачу ионов цезия. Наблюдалось различие между эффектами ионов цезия на амплитуду токов концевой пластинки при его получасовом и часовом сроке действия, что отмечалось нами ранее и в присутствии ионов бария, являющегося блокатором некоторых подтипов калиевых каналов. В случае часового воздействия цезия ингибиторный эффект аденозина на амплитуду токов концевой пластинки оставался стабильным, в то время как угнетающее действие на амплитуду постсинаптических ответов АТФ при этом уменьшалось в ~ 2.5 раза. Полученные данные могут свидетельствовать о том, что пресинаптический угнетающий эффект АТФ на секрецию трансмиттера из нервных окончаний реализуется через Cs+-чувствительные калиевые каналы нервной терминали.
РЕЗИСТЕНТНОСТЬ ЭРИТРОЦИТОВ НЕКОТОРЫХ ЧЕРНОМОРСКИХ РЫБ ПРИ ГИПООСМИИ И ВОЗДЕЙСТВИИ НЕИОННЫХ ДЕТЕРГЕНТОВ ТРИТОНА Х-100 И ТВИНА-20

У четырех видов черноморских рыб - ставриды (Trachurus mediterraneus ponticus Aleev), ласкиря (Diplodus annularis L.), скорпены (Scorpaena porcus L.) и морской лисицы (Raja clavata L.) - исследованы осмотическая резистентность эритроцитов и влияние на гемолитическую активность красных клеток крови при гипоосмии неионных детергентов Тритона Х-100 и Твина-20. Показано, что в физиологических растворах при гипоосмии эритроциты морской лисицы и скорпены проявляли высокую резистентность к действию гипотонической среды. Определение концентрации физиологического раствора, в котором за время инкубации гемолизировалось 50% эритроцитов рыб (С50%) позволило ранжировать эритроциты рыб по степени осмотической устойчивости в следующем порядке: скорпена > морская лисица > ласкирь > ставрида. Эритроциты исследованных костистых рыб демонстрировали по С50% четкую зависимость от подвижности, которая возрастала в ряду рыб с уменьшением их двигательной активности. Тритон Х-100 не вызывал повышение резистентности или даже слабо стимулировал повышение гемолитической активности эритроцитов ласкиря и морской лисицы...
