Published: November 2020

Objective: To investigate concordance in perceptions of communication
among participants in family discussions and assess the importance of
different domains of communication in a neurocritical care unit.
Methods: Prospective observational study conducted in a neurocritical
care unit. Our study involved family discussions regarding plan of care
for patients admitted to the unit. All participants completed a survey.
The first 4 questions rated understanding of the discussion and general
satisfaction; the remaining questions were open-ended to assess quality
of communication by the physician leading the discussion. Responses were
scored and compared among participants using a Likert scale. A
difference of < 1 in scores among participants was rated as
concordance, while > 2 was designated as discordance. All
open-ended responses were classified into six domains. Results: We
observed 35 family discussions. Questions 1-3 yielded 99
cross-comparisons per question (total of 297 compared responses). Most
responses were either “Strongly Agree” or “Agree”; with “Neutral”
or “Disagree” responses being more prevalent in Question 2. Overall
concordance of responses between participants was 88%. Education was
the most frequently cited domain of communication in response to
open-ended questions. Among family and neutral observers, empathy was
frequently listed, while providers more often listed family engagement.
Conclusion: Overall, satisfaction was high among providers, families,
and the observer regarding quality of communication during family
discussions in the unit. Perceptual differences emerged over whether
this communication impacted healthcare decision-making during that
encounter.

Published: November 2020

Background: One third of all toddlers are in need of medical care
because of acute wheeze and many of these children continue to have
asthma at school age. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of asthma
among the children in GEWAC at age 7 years. And investigate why some
children continue to have recurrent wheeze and asthma at school age.
Methods: The study included 156 cases with acute wheeze, recruited from
the paediatric emergency ward, Astrid Lindgren’s Children’s Hospital,
Stockholm, Sweden and 102 age-matched controls. Cases attended a
follow-up visit after 3 months, after one year and at age 7 years. The
protocol included questionnaires, ACT, FENO, nasopharyngeal virus
samples, blood sampling for cell count, Vitamin D and IgE to food and
airborne allergens. Results: A total of 70.8 % of the cases and 1.9 %
of the controls had asthma at age 7 (p<0.001). Acute wheeze
caused by Rhinovirus (RV) infection at inclusion was more common among
cases with asthma at age 7 compared to cases without asthma (p=0.011).
When adjusting for other viruses, RV remained significantly associated
with asthma at age 7 (OR 3.8 95% CI 1.4-10.5). Cases with asthma at age
7 had been admitted to hospital more often (p=0.024) and spent more days
admitted (p=0.01) during the year following inclusion. Conclusion:
Rhinovirus induced acute wheeze is a risk factor for asthma by age 7.
Cases with asthma at age 7 were hospitalized more frequently and needed
more inpatient time during the year after inclusion.

Published: November 2020

Papillary muscle rupture is one of the rare and potentially
life-threatening complication usually following acute myocardial
infarction (AMI). Acute papillary muscle rupture (PMR) results in severe
mitral regurgitation rapidly progressing to florid pulmonary edema and
cardiogenic shock. Without emergent surgical intervention, the mortality
is extremely high. The management of STEMI patients in COVID 19 pandemic
is difficult and challenging. We present an unusual case of 56 years old
male who presented with acute inferior wall myocardial infarction
(IWMI), underwent successful thrombolysis, developed reinfarction 5 days
later complicated by acute postero-medial papillary muscle rupture
(PPMR) leading to severe acute mitral regurgitation.

Published: November 2020

Type 2 diabetes has become a pandemic and leads to late diabetic
complications of organs including kidney and eye. Lowering hyperglycemia is the
typical therapeutic goal in clinical medicine. However, hyperglycemia may only be
a symptom of diabetes but not the sole cause of late diabetic complications, Instead,
other diabetes-related alterations could be causative. Here, we studied the
role of CaM Kinase II δ (CaMKIIδ) that is known to be activated through diabetic
metabolism. CaMKIIδ is expressed ubiquitously
and might therefore affect several different organ systems. We crossed diabetic
leptin receptor mutant mice to mice lacking CaMKIIδ globally. Remarkably, CaMKIIδ-deficient diabetic mice did not develop
hyperglycemia. As potential underlying mechanisms, we provide evidence for improved
insulin sensing with increased glucose transport into skeletal muscle but also
reduced hepatic glucose production. Despite normoglycemia, CaMKIIδ-deficient diabetic mice developed the full
picture of diabetic nephropathy but diabetic retinopathy was prevented. We also
unmasked a retina-specific gene expression signature that might contribute to
CaMKII-dependent retinal diabetic complications. These data challenge the
clinical concept of normalizing hyperglycemia in diabetes as a causative
treatment strategy for late diabetic complications and call for a more detailed
analysis of intracellular metabolic signals in different diabetic organs.

HER2 Receptor Overexpression in Gastric Adenocarcinoma A Study about a Sampling of 50 Cases in Dakar
Authors: TL Bentefouet
Published: November 2020

ntroduction: HER2 receptor overexpression in gastric or gastroesophageal junction (GOJ) adenocarcinoma is a factor of poor prognosis detected in 7 to 34% of gastric and GOJ adenocarcinomas. The objective of this study was to evaluate the overexpression of the HER2 receptor in gastric adenocarcinomas in Dakar, and to investigate the correlation between HER2 overexpression and clinicopathological parameters. Patients and method: This is a retrospective, descriptive and analytical study that was conducted over a one - year period; from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2017. It involves 50 cases of gastric or GOJ adenocarcinomas histologically confirmed on biopsy samplings, collected within pathological anatomy and cytology services in Dakar (HALD a nd HOGGY). The study of HER2 receptor overexpression was performed on tumor samples put in buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin using the immunohistochemical method. Results: The average age was 58.18 ± 14.6 years. A male predominance was observed, w ith a gender ratio of 1.27. Tumors were ulcero budding in 76% of cases. They were found at the gastric level in 92% of the surveyed cases, and at the gastroesophageal junction in 8% of them. Adenocarcinomas were of tubulous type in 76% of cases, and they w ere markedly differentiated in 54% of cases. At immunohistochemical study, the positivity rate of the HER2 was 8% out of the 50 cases that were tested. There was no correlation between HER2 overexpression and those clinicopathological parameters . Con clusion: HER2 is a factor of poor prognosis but it is also a therapeutic response factor to anti - HER2s. Assessment of the HER2 status should be systematic in all cases of gastric adenocarcinoma; and it requires a multidisciplinary approach.

Published: November 2020

This article is devoted to the problems of the existing residential buildings of 70-80 years of construction of the last century, which have been in operation for about 50 years and are subject to immediate technical inspection. The most important factor for the safe operation of such buildings is the quality of construction, as in this period the construction was performed with many shortcomings that are manifested today. The article describes the problem of joints of loggias with the building in the design and construction of multi-storey buildings with load-bearing brick walls. Poor ligation of bricks in the masonry, as well as the lack of quality ligation of the transverse walls of loggias with load-bearing longitudinal walls of the building leads to the formation of cracks on the entire height of the loggias, which completely cut them at the abutment, which creates an emergency collapse of building structures. A real example of such a problem in the existing 9-storey building with brick load-bearing walls, where the shortcomings of construction were manifested, namely the poor quality of masonry at the junction of loggias to the load-bearing walls of the building. The structural scheme is also described, as well as the main structures of the building. The main damages and defects are shown. Using the PC "LIRA-SAPR" created a calculation model and compared the results of calculations with the existing condition of the considered area of the building. Recommendations for strengthening the emergency section of the building are given.
Non-autoclaved foam concrete for layers of highways surface dressing

Published: November 2020

The article is devoted to the problems associated freeze with the calculated estimation of the parameters of the structural and heat-insulating antifreeze layer in the subgrade of non-rigid roads on various soil bases. The main physical, technical and deformation characteristics of monolithic dispersed non-autoclaved foam concrete reinforced with polypropylene fiber of grades of density from 600 to 1000 kg/m3 are investigated. Freezing of subsoil waters directly under the roadway pavement and, as a result, its increase in volume, leads to significant deformations of the road surface. Under such conditions, the period of defectfree operation of the roadway pavement is significantly reduced, which in turn leads to the need to repair it in a more intensive mode. One of the ways to reduce the operating cost and maintenance costs of the road transport infrastructure is to introduce into the design and construction practice new structural concepts for road surface dressing that ensure high quality pavement during the normative operational period. This can be achieved by introducing an effective heat-insulating material into the pavement structure as an anti-frost layer in order to elimi-nate the effect of frost lift of the roadway pavement of non-rigid roads. Since domestic and foreign experience freeze in the road construction has proven the effectiveness of the use of heatinsulating materials in the road surface dressing construction, in recent years in Ukraine there has been increased interest in the use of non-autoclaved foam concrete as a modern and highly effective heat-insulating material in road construction. The installation of a heat-insulating layer made of non-autoclaved foam concrete allows us to completely or partially prevent freezing or overheating of the surface dressing base, reduce the influence of periodic variations in environmental temperature, which in turn will increase the durability of the pavement structure. The publication presents nomograms for determining the optimal thickness of the heat-insulating anti-frost heavy course (layer) of road surface dressing (based on sand, loamy sand, clay and loam) done at the street and road network for all climatic and geographical regions of Ukraine.

Broad-crested weirs (BCW) are often used in hydraulic engineering and water management. The most complex factor that affects the discharge capacity of BCW is the discharge coefficient. In Ukrainian engineering practice, the flow rate of BCW is defined as a function of the relative height of the spillway wall, while in the most common European methods – as a function of the relative length of the weir. The experimental dependences of the discharge coefficient of rectangular sharp-edged BCW with vertical inlet and outlet walls with the ratio of the weir length and height d/Р = 2; 4 are obtained. A comparison of the obtained results with the values of the discharge coefficient of the same BCW using the methods of Kumin and Hager indicates that this coefficient depends on both the height of the wall and the length of the weir. The corresponding empirical power law dependences are obtained. At the same values of the relative height of the wall, the discharge coefficient for the weir with the ratio d/Р = 4 is significantly lower comparing the weir with d/Р = 2, that can be explained by the more significant effect of friction resistance for the weir with longer threshold.

The type of research the writer uses is descriptive qualitative research, with data collection techniques using in-depth interviews, documentation and participatory observation. Data analysis techniques in this study used data reduction, data presentation and data verification. The internalization stage or inculcation of religious character values for classes 1-2 MI Nurussalam is at the value transformation stage, classes 2 (process) and 3 are at the value transaction stage, while classes 4, 5 and 6 MI are at the value trans-internalization stage. MI Nurussalam's strategy in internalizing the values of religious character is divided into two fields, namely the academic and non-academic fields. The strategy in the academic field of MI Nuruusalam is to develop the Madrasah curriculum from grade 1 to grade 6 by adding special Islamic subjects and fostering a love affair with Arabic (the key to opening Islamic insights). In the non-academic field, MI Nurussalam integrates religious character values into routine activities, spontaneous activities, exemplary activities, and the Madrasah environmental conditioning system.

Authors: Anwari Ikhsan Syakban , Sutysna Hendra
Published: November 2020

Background: Dyslipidemia is a condition where there is an abnormal lipid profile in the blood. Modern patterns and lifestyles such as consuming fast food cause excessive fat consumption which can increase the possibility of contracting blood vessel and heart disease. High levels of High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol can protect the body against heart disease and stroke, but not many drugs can increase HDL cholesterol levels. Olive oil is an oil that contains 77% Mono Unsaturated Fatty Acid (MUFA) which can reduce LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol. Objective: To determine the effect of olive oil (Extra Virgine Olive Oil-EVOO) and moderate intensity exercise on high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels in male Wistar strain (Rattus novergicus L) rats fed a high-fat diet. Method: a true experimental research design with a pretest and posttest design with a control group (Pretest and Posttest with Control Group) with simple randomization. Results: There was an increase in HDL levels in the control group (42.50 to 44.50 mg / dl), the olive oil treatment group was (50.83 to 53.33) mg / dL, the moderate intensity exercise treatment group (46.67 to 52 , 00 mg / dl), and the moderate-intensity exercise and olive oil treatment groups (47.50 to 58.67 mg / dl). Conclusion: Extra Virgine Olive Oil, moderate intensity exercise, and Extra Virgine Olive Oil with moderate intensity exercise influence the increase of HDL levels in the blood of male Wistar strain rats fed a high-fatty diet.
A CRIMINALIZAÇÃO ANDROCENTRISTA DA REVISTA ÍNTIMA DAS MULHERES EM PRESÍDIOS: A PUNIÇÃO LATENTE.
Authors: Parreiras Núbio
Published: November 2020

O presente estudo aborda a prática da revista íntima das mulheres visitantes em presídios brasileiros a partir de noções provenientes da criminologia feminista, associada ao conceito de lei penal latente.Para tanto, primeiramente, analisa-se os principais paradigmas criminológicos que possibilitaram o surgimento da criminologia feminista, chegando à conclusão de que o androcentrismo, denunciado pela mesma, sofre influências do positivismo criminológico, orientando a criminalização (e vitimização) das mulheres muito mais pelo papel que assumem (ou tentam) na sociedade do que propriamente pelo que fazem.A partir daí, com o estudo da lei penal latente, constata-se que esta causa criminalizações e, por decorrência, punições penais, que se escondem em demais campos jurídicos, exatamente para se esquivar das garantias prometidas pelo Direito Penal.Após, foi estudado a regulamentação legal da prática da revista íntima – em especial no Estado de Minas Gerais – e, após, constatado a existência de lei federal proibindo a prática (Lei 13.271/16). Com isto, questionou-se a razão de referida lei ser cumprida tão somente em relação aos homens visitantes.A conclusão foi que a regulamentação legal da revista íntima é uma criminalização latente que, embora proibida por lei federal, é praticada com as mulheres em virtude do androcentrismo.

Published: November 2020

Heavy metal environmental contamination consequent of anthropogenic factors has become a global concern with cadmium and lead constituting a major public health, livestock and ecological threat. This study, therefore, uses goats (as sentinel animals) raised in 2 different regions based on their mining history (previous and existing) to evaluate exposure to cadmium and lead and their consequent toxicities and pathological changes. A total of 130 goats (composed of 88 goats which constitute the suspected exposure (SE) group and 44 goats, the suspected unexposed (SU) group) were sampled. Blood and tissue samples (liver, kidney and muscles) were analysed for lead and cadmium levels using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer along with the complete blood count analysis. The mean blood lead levels (BLLs) and cadmium levels (BCLs) in the goats from the SE groups were 14.59 and 3.12 Âµg/dl respectively, which were significantly higher than the SU groups (9.23 and 0.46 Âµg/dl respectively) A significantly higher frequency of goats in the SE (93.18%) also had an elevated BLLs compared to the SU group (78.57%). The levels of tissue lead and cadmium in both the SE and SU groups were found significant and higher than the FAO/WHO maximum limits. The packed cell volume, red blood cell count, and haemoglobin concentration were found significantly lower, and the platelet count and some leucocyte parameters (total white blood cell, neutrophil, eosinophil, and monocyte count) were found significantly higher in the SE group. The elevated cadmium and lead level in both groups further highlight the ubiquitous spread of cadmium and lead environmental contamination in both study regions and the direct risk of exposure to human and animals in Nigeria. The relative differences in the observed pathological changes in the two study groups also suggest the influence of the environmental heavy metal pollution and exposure levels on health.
Trends and Challenges in Improved Agricultural Inputs Use by Smallholder Farmers in Ethiopia: A Review
Authors: Jilito Mideksa Fufa , Wedajo Desalegn Yadeta
Published: November 2020

Much of the sustained agricultural growth necessary for poverty reduction and sustainable development comes from adequate and expanded improved agricultural inputs use like hybrid seeds, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and inorganic fertilizer. However, smallholder farmers faced various and empirically unidentified constraints in the sustainable use of improved agricultural inputs. This study, therefore, is to examine the trends and challenges farmers faced to use improved inputs. The study has used secondary data from various databases such as FAOSTAT, World Bank, Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research and agricultural statistics. Simple graphical sketch, tabular and percentage analysis was employed for interpretation of the data. The study revealed that the trends in the use of various improved inputs are not based on the regular basis. The sustainable improved input intensification by smallholder farmers was influenced by various socio-economic, physical, and institutional factors. Understanding trends and challenges in input utilization provide baseline information for input intensification policies and strategies. Therefore, this review pointed out that it is possible to increase inputs intensification by smallholder farmers.

Authors: García Natalia , Forero Porras Pedro Luis , Ballesteros Acuña Luis Ernesto
Published: November 2020

SUMMARY:
Background: The distal medial striated artery (DMSA) is a small, constant branch that emerges from the base of the anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and is directed backwards to irrigate internal structures such as the nucleous of the base.
Objective:  This study proposes to evaluate the morphology of the DMSA, useful for clinical and surgical management that compromise this vascular structure.
Methods: The DMSA of 71 unclaimed male bodies, who underwent necropsy at the Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences of Bucaramanga-Colombia, were evaluated using the perfusion technique of vascular structures with polyester resin. Results: The DMSA was presented in four cases (2.8%) duplicated and with agenesis in 2.1% of the hemispheres. Its origin was 43.9% of the post-communicating segment of the ACA (A2), 10.8% of the pre-communicating segment of the ACA (A1) and 44.6% of the ACA junction site with the anterior communicating artery (AComA). The diameter of the DMSA was 0.5 ± 0.2 mm and its total length was 20.3 ± 4.1 mm. Sinuous trajectory was observed in 73 cases (51.4%). There was a superolateral relationship with the ACA in 48% of the samples. The DMSA was observed in 129 cases (90.9%) as a single trunk while in 6 cases (4.2%) it presented with a common trunk with the orbitofrontal artery (OF). The completion of the DMSA in the anterior perforated substance was given by a single trunk in 129 cases (90.9%) bifurcation in 9 cases (6.3%) and trifurcation in four cases (2.8%). The incidence of sinuous presentation and hypoplasia of the DMSA is considerably higher than previously reported.
Conclussions: The importance of the DMSA lies in its involvement with the surgical procedures and interventions of the anterior segment of the arterial cerebral circle, and in the complex clinical management that determine its injury in clinical practice.

Published: November 2020

Case description:
A 37-year-old female with PCR-RT swab for COVID-19 positive, with neurological manifestation as a result of internal carotid artery occlusion.
Clinical findings:
Nasal congestion and sneezing of 5 days duration; pulsatile headache in the left hemicrania 3 days prior to admission, with intensity 6/10 according to the visual analogue scale, accompanied by phosphenes, photophobia, and diplopia; with subsequent developing right hemiparesis over a 26-hour period.
Treatment and result:
He was given medical management with oral antiplatelet agents and anticoagulants (subcutaneous and oral) during his hospitalization, it was not possible to perform thrombolysis and thrombectomy due to the high risk of complications. He was discharged at 14 days, without functional limitation, symmetrical strength in upper and lower limbs, bilateral visual acuity 20/20, denying headache.
Clinical relevance:
The case presented here describes a pattern in how data supporting an association between COVID-19 and stroke in young populations with or without typical vascular risk factors, sometimes with only mild respiratory symptoms, is increasing. Prospective studies are required to further evaluate this association, as well as anticoagulation studies to prevent these potentially life-threatening events.
Prospects for consolidation of the Ukrainians as a civil nations based on integration with the European Union
Authors: Ryzhov Valerii Borisovich
Published: November 2020

This research is dedicated to the prospects for consolidation of the Ukrainians as a civil nation based on such resource as the European Integration. The author describes the theoretical aspects of national and state identity. Methodology leans on the parallel use of descriptive, comparative, and structural forms of analysis. The conclusion is made that European Integration currently manifests as one of the potential steps, which would allow eliminating the “retrospective orientation” of national and state identity of the Ukrainians, regulating the existing memorial conflicts, and forming a positive image of the future by alleviation of tension in the relations between the representatives of different ethnoses, regions and political orientations. Deepening of European Integration would contribute to not only consolidation of the European citizens as a nation, but also improve relationships of the official Kiev with the neighboring countries. Attention is focused on the analysis of attractiveness of European Integration for the Ukrainian citizens. A thought is advanced that one of the ways for enhancing integration processes with regards to Ukraine and the European Union is the creation of effective institutional mediation instruments on the national level. The author discusses the role of propaganda upon Ukrainian population against enhancement of the processes of European Integration. The article analyzes public opinion on political and socioeconomic policy of modern Ukraine.
Prospects for adoption of global agreement on safe, disciplined and legal migration
Authors: Baiaman uulu Baiyrbek
Published: November 2020

The subject of this research is the prospect of existence of the global agreement on safe, disciplined and legal migrations in the conditions of coronavirus pandemic (further referred to as global agreement), as well as logical transformation of the migration flows due to pandemic. The goal is to determine the relevance for such global agreement in the context of coronavirus, considering the need to form the funds for resolving migration issues, as well as in terms of actual financial problems faced by every single country due to the emergency of taking ant-coronavirus measures. Relevance of adopting the agreements should also be viewed in relation to the fact that the content of global agreement is not indisputable. The conclusion is made that coronavirus pandemic somewhat shifted the focus of attention from the pressing problem of migration towards the domestic affairs of each state. However, the author makes an assumption that the countries would gather in forums in the late 2020 to share the progress in implementation of national programs in the sphere of migration. It may be difficult to attract attention to such forums or move towards implementation of noticeable agreement results at the time of more urgent domestic problems related to COVID-19 pandemic.

The article emphasizes the importance of rational reforms of the public service in Kazakhstan for the successful implementation of all major strategic plans and effective development of the national economy as a whole. The need for permanent reform of the public service as an integral part of all administrative and state reforms is stressed. The most important policy documents governing the reform of the public service in the Republic of Kazakhstan are listed. Paragraph 5 of the Kazakhstan-2050 Strategy, «Further strengthening of the statehood and the development of Kazakhstan’s democracy», in which the ways of reforming the national public service are detailed in main areas, is analyzed in sufficient detail. In the Nation’s Plan «100 Concrete Steps to Implement Five Institutional Reforms», the 1st and 5th reforms are considered as they are dedicated to the formation of a professional state apparatus and an accountable state. The strategic development plan of the Republic of Kazakhstan until 2025 is also analyzed from the perspective of reforming the public sector which is considered as the leader of the upcoming changes. Attention is paid to issues related to the creation of a state of law without corruption. Among the main priorities of the implementation of the Strategy are digitalization of the activities of state bodies, increasing the focus on results and interests of citizens, as well as the modernization of consciousness in the public sector. The most important policy documents specifying ways of reforming the public service in Kazakhstan are the President’s Addresses to the people of Kazakhstan, where special importance is attached to increasing the efficiency of public administration, fighting corruption and ensuring the rule of law, creating a state apparatus focused on the needs of citizens
Derek Parfit and yearning for personal identity (we do not exist, but really want to)
Authors:   Omsk Tank-Automotive Engineering Institute, Dobronravova U. V.
Published: November 2020

The article critically represents Derek Parfit’s view on personal identity and its connection with our bodies. During the discussion with animalists who claim that persons are identical with bodies Parfit defends Lockean view and concludes that person isn’t identical with human being and easily can exist beyond it. Yet it seems obvious that person isn’t identical with body, such views lead to the controversial effects. For example, Parfit claims that abortion or euthanasia wouldn’t be a crime. This article discusses some of the most debatable basics of Parfit’s position and suggests at least three points worth of next thinking. At first, the author highlights that the so-called psychological criterion of personal identity is rather conventional. At second, the real experience of personal life doesn’t match with the famous Lockean definition, because we have no any continuity. At third, D. Parfit doesn’t explain what it means to be an animal (or human animal). If there is some biological «base» of a person (head, cerebrum, or part of a cerebrum), it still stays an animal. In the conclusion of the article the author suggests that we are not human beings, nor persons. But it doesn’t mean that we can’t become them
We Are Not Human Beings / trans. from Engl. U. V. Dobronravova

Published: November 2020

The article presents a comparative analysis the views on the problem of personality identity by Neo-Lockeanism (Shoemaker, Parfit, Lewis) and Animalism (Olson, Snowden, Carter). A certain of main objections to the psychological criterion (the problem of too many thinkers, the too many persons problem, the thinking parts problem, etc.) are critically examined. Basic animalist intuitions are refuted by the embodied person view (McMahan)

Множественная системная атрофия (МСА) - редкое нейродегенеративное заболевание, относящееся к группе заболеваний, ассоциированных с агрегацией белка альфа-синуклеина. Самой распространенной синуклеинопатией является болезнь Паркинсона (БП). Молекулярный механизм МСА и БП остается неизвестным, в связи с чем неизвестны диагностические биомаркеры, способные дифференцировать эти заболевания на ранней стадии. В данном исследовании был оценен уровень мРНК и белка альфа-синуклеина в CD45+ клетках периферической крови у пациентов с МСА, БП и в контроле. Выявленное значительное повышение экспрессии гена альфа-синуклеина у пациентов с МСА по сравнению с пациентами с БП (p<0,0001) и контрольной группой (p<0,0001). Уровень мРНК гена альфа-синуклеина CD45+ клеток крови может рассматриваться как потенциальный биомаркер МСА.

Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that belongs to a group of neurodegenerative diseases called synucleinopathies. The most common synucleinopathy is Parkinson’s disease (PD). The molecular mechanism of MSA and PD remains unknown, and therefore diagnostic biomarkers that can differentiate these diseases at an early stage are unknown. The aim of this study was to estimate the level of mRNA and alpha-synuclein protein in CD45+ peripheral blood cells of patients with MSA, PD, and control. The significant increase of alpha-synuclein expression in MCA patients compared to patients with PD (p<0.0001) may be considered as a potential biomarker of this disease.

Целью настоящего исследования являлась оценка основных эффектов полиморфных локусов генов IL1B (rs16944), TNF (rs1041981), CRP (rs3093077) и PCLO (rs2715157), а также ген-средовых взаимодействий в фенотипических вариациях уровня депрессивности у 999 психически здоровых индивидов с учётом половой и этнической принадлежности. Статистический анализ выявил ассоциации аллеля rs1041981*A гена TNF с пониженным уровнем депрессивности в группе индивидов русской этнической принадлежности (р=0,04) и аллеля rs2715157*A гена PCLO с повышенными показателями в этнической группе татар (рFDR=0,03). В результате стратификационного анализа был выявлен значимый модулирующий эффект таких средовых факторов, как место жительства и сезон рождения, в случае ассоциации полиморфных локусов rs16944, rs1041981 и rs2715157 с уровнем депрессивности.

The present study aimed to assess the main effects of IL1B (rs16944), TNF (rs1041981), CRP (rs3093077) and PCLO (rs2715157) gene polymorphisms together with G×E effects on individual differences in depression level in 999 mentally healthy individuals with sex and ethnicity as covariates. Statistical analysis revealed an association of TNF rs1041981 A-allele with a decreased depression level in Russians (p=0.04), while PCLO rs2715157 A-allele was associated with an increased depression level in Tatars (pFDR=0.03). As a result of stratification analysis we observed that place of residence and birth season significantly affected association of rs16944, rs1041981 and rs2715157 and depression level.
