Authors: Lebedeva E. R. , Gurary N. M. , Olesen J.
Published: June 2019

Headache is a common symptom in acute cerebrovascular diseases; however, no studies have evaluated the prevalence of specific headache types in patients with transient ischemic attacks (ТIАs).

Objective: to analyze all headaches within the last year and the last week before and during ТIАs.

Patients and methods. TIA patients included in the study (female 55% (n=120); mean age, 56.1 years) according to the existing definition of TIAs had a transient neurological dysfunction episode caused by focal brain damage or retinal ischemia for up to 24 hours without forming a new acute heart attack on diffusion-weighted MRI (n=112) or CT (n=8). All the patients were examined by one neurologist within one day after their admission. Patients (female 64% (n=192); mean age, 58.7 years) who had been admitted with a diagnosis of lumbago, lumbar spine osteochondrosis, or gastrointestinal ulcer were examined as a control group. A clinical semistructured face-to-face interview with the patients of both groups was carried out to analyze headache.

Results and discussion. The prevalence of migraine without aura during one year before TIA was substantially higher in patients with TIA than in control ones: 20.8 and 7.8%, respectively (p=0.002). Twenty-two (18.3%) patients had sentinel or warning headache within the last week before a TIA that manifested as an increase in and greater frequency of previous headache, as lack of effect of painkillers, and as the emergence of a new type of headaches, which were previously absent. During TIAs, 16 (13.3%) patients developed a new type of headache. Twelve of these 16 patients had migraine-like headache; three patients had headache resembling tension headache; one patient had a thunderclap headache. None of the control patients was found to have a new type of headache. TIAs were significantly more common in the vertebrobasilar basin than in the carotid artery one in patients with headache during the last week before and during TIA.

Conclusion. The one year prevalence of migraine was significantly higher in ТIА patients than in control patients, and so was the prevalence of headache within the last week before and during TIA. Migraine-like headache prevailed among the new types of headaches in the development of TIA. A previous headache with a change in characteristics and a new type of headache can be predictors for TIA.
Vascular cognitive impairment and chronic cerebral ischemia (dyscirculatory encephalopathy)
Authors: Parfenov V. A.
Published: June 2019

The paper reviews the literature on vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), the diagnosis widely used in foreign neurological practice, as well as chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) and dyscirculatory encephalopathy (DEP), the common diagnoses in Russian neurological practice. According to the etiology, risk factors, and manifestations, Stages I and II DEP largely corresponds to moderate VCI; Stage III DEP does to severe VCI. The results of the author’s studies show that a considerable proportion of patients followed up with a diagnosis of CCI, DEP, have no signs of chronic cerebrovascular disease (CVD), but suffer from primary or secondary headache, vertigo of various origins, emotional disorders, and other diseases. The diagnosis of CCI, DEP should be based on the presence of CCI, the reliable neuroimaging signs of chronic CVD, and the ruling out of other diseases. When treating and preventing VCI, CCI, and DEP, a premium is placed upon both non-drug (regular physical activity, smoking cessation, rational nutrition) and drug therapy aimed at normalizing blood pressure and blood lipid spectrum, preventing blood clots, and improving cognitive functions.
Intracranial hemorrhage in patients taking oral anticoagulants. Current possibilities for therapy
Authors: Yanishevsky S. N.
Published: June 2019

The paper reviews an update on the possibilities of providing care for patients with spontaneous non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) developing in patients with atrial fibrillation who use oral anticoagulants. The incidence of ICH is shown to be considerably lower when nonvitamin K-dependent anticoagulants (NOACs) are used, but the hematoma evolution scenarios do not differ between the groups of patients receiving vitamin K antagonists or NOACs. The results of studies assessing hypertension therapy in patients with ICH are compared. The possibilities of using various reversal agents for various oral anticoagulants are also discussed. Since one of the main problems associated with increased mortality and severe disabilities is the progression rate of ICH, the possibility of using a specific antagonist can determine the choice of an anticoagulant for the primary prevention of ischemic stroke in a patient with atrial fibrillation.
A comparative evaluation of order-revealing encryption schemes and secure range-query protocols
Authors: Bogatov Dmytro , Kollios George , Reyzin Leonid
Published: June 2019

Database query evaluation over encrypted data can allow database users to maintain the privacy of their data while outsourcing data processing. Order-Preserving Encryption (OPE) and Order-Revealing Encryption (ORE) were designed to enable efficient query execution, but provide only partial privacy. More private protocols, based on Searchable Symmetric Encryption (SSE), Oblivious RAM (ORAM) or custom encrypted data structures, have also been designed. In this paper, we develop a framework to provide the first comprehensive comparison among a number of range query protocols that ensure varying levels of privacy of user data. We evaluate five ORE-based and five generic range query protocols. We analyze and compare them both theoretically and experimentally and measure their performance over database indexing and query evaluation. We report not only execution time but also I/O performance, communication amount, and usage of cryptographic primitive operations. Our comparison reveals some interesting insights concerning the relative security and performance of these approaches in database settings.
k/2-hop
Authors: Orakzai Faisal , Calders Toon , Pedersen Torben Bach
Published: June 2019

With the increase of devices equipped with location sensors, mining spatio-temporal data for interesting behavioral patterns has gained attention in recent years. One of such well-known patterns is the convoy pattern which can be used, e.g., to find groups of people moving together in public transport or to prevent traffic jams. A convoy consists of at least
m
objects moving together for at least
k
consecutive time instants where
m
and
k
are user-defined parameters. Convoy mining is an expensive task and existing sequential algorithms do not scale to real-life dataset sizes. Existing sequential as well as parallel algorithms require a complex set of data-dependent parameters which are hard to set and tune. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new fast exact sequential convoy pattern mining algorithm "k/2-hop" that is free of data-dependent parameters. The proposed algorithm processes the data corresponding to a few specific key timestamps at each step and quickly prunes objects with no possibility of forming a convoy. Thus, only a very small portion of the complete dataset is considered for mining convoys. Our experimental results show that k/2-hop outperforms existing sequential as well as parallel convoy pattern mining algorithms by orders of magnitude, and scales to larger datasets which existing algorithms fail on.
Selectivity estimation for range predicates using lightweight models
Authors: Dutt Anshuman , Wang Chi , Nazi Azade , Kandula Srikanth , Narasayya Vivek , Chaudhuri Surajit
Published: June 2019

Query optimizers depend on selectivity estimates of query predicates to produce a good execution plan. When a query contains multiple predicates, today's optimizers use a variety of assumptions, such as independence between predicates, to estimate selectivity. While such techniques have the benefit of fast estimation and small memory footprint, they often incur large selectivity estimation errors. In this work, we reconsider selectivity estimation as a regression problem. We explore application of neural networks and tree-based ensembles to the important problem of selectivity estimation of multi-dimensional range predicates. While their straightforward application does not outperform even simple baselines, we propose two simple yet effective design choices, i.e., regression label transformation and feature engineering, motivated by the selectivity estimation context. Through extensive empirical evaluation across a variety of datasets, we show that the proposed models deliver both highly accurate estimates as well as fast estimation.
The Basolateral Nucleus of the Amygdala Executes the Parallel Processes of Avoidance and Palatability in the Retrieval of Conditioned Taste Aversion in Male Rats
Authors: Inui Tadashi , Sugishita Tomoaki , Inui-Yamamoto Chizuko , Yasoshima Yasunobu , Shimura Tsuyoshi
Published: June 2019

Conditioned taste aversion (CTA) is an essential behavior for animal survival. Conditioned animals show avoidance and decreased palatability to a conditioned stimulus (CS) on CTA retrieval. In this study, we aimed to determine whether the basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BLA) is involved in CTA retrieval and whether avoidance and palatability in CTA retrieval are processed in the BLA. We developed an experimental chamber for time-course analysis of the behavior to approach a spout and lick a CS. In this experimental chamber, we analyzed the behavior of male rats following microinjections of GABAAreceptor agonist muscimol or saline into the BLA. The rats showed two types of approach behavior: they either (1) approached and licked the spout or (2) approached but did not lick the spout. Muscimol injection into the BLA decreased the frequency of the latter type of approach behavior, indicating that BLA inactivation reduced avoidance to the CS. The muscimol injection into the BLA also significantly increased the consumption of the CS. Lick microstructure analysis demonstrated that intra-BLA muscimol significantly increased licking burst number and size, indicating that BLA inactivation attenuated aversion to the CS as large burst licking is an indicator of high palatability. These results suggest that the increase in CS consumption with intra-BLA muscimol injection was due to alterations in approach and aversive responses to the CS. Therefore, we conclude that the BLA plays an essential role in CTA retrieval by parallel processing of avoidance and palatability.

Authors: Steiner Riley J. , Sheremenko Ganna , Lesesne Catherine , Dittus Patricia J. , Sieving Renee E. , Ethier Kathleen A.
Published: June 2019

BACKGROUND:

Because little is known about long-term effects of adolescent protective factors across multiple health domains, we examined associations between adolescent connectedness and multiple health-related outcomes in adulthood.

METHODS:

We used weighted data from Waves I and IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (n = 14 800). Linear and logistic models were used to examine associations between family and school connectedness in adolescence and self-reported health risk behaviors and experiences in adulthood, including emotional distress, suicidal thoughts and attempts, physical violence victimization and perpetration, intimate partner physical and sexual violence victimization, multiple sex partners, condom use, sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnosis, prescription drug misuse, and other illicit drug use.

RESULTS:

In multivariable analyses, school connectedness in adolescence had independent protective associations in adulthood, reducing emotional distress and odds of suicidal ideation, physical violence victimization and perpetration, multiple sex partners, STI diagnosis, prescription drug misuse, and other illicit drug use. Similarly, family connectedness had protective effects for emotional distress, all violence indicators, including intimate partner violence, multiple sex partners, STI diagnosis, and both substance use indicators. Compared to individuals with low scores for each type of connectedness, having high levels of both school and family connectedness was associated with 48% to 66% lower odds of health risk behaviors and experiences in adulthood, depending on the outcome.

CONCLUSIONS:

Family and school connectedness may have long-lasting protective effects across multiple health outcomes related to mental health, violence, sexual behavior, and substance use. Increasing both family and school connectedness during adolescence has the potential to promote overall health in adulthood.

Published: June 2019

Alcohol use continues to be a major concern from preadolescence through young adulthood in the United States. Results of recent neuroscience research have helped to elucidate neurobiological models of addiction, substantiated the deleterious effects of alcohol on adolescent brain development, and added additional evidence to support the call to prevent and reduce underage drinking. This technical report reviews the relevant literature and supports the accompanying policy statement in this issue of Pediatrics.
A zenei teljesítményszorongás: prevalencia, kialakulás, társuló zavarok és személyiségvonások, kezelési lehetőségek
Authors: Dobos Bianka
Published: June 2019

A társas kapcsolatok hiánya és a szociális funkciók romlása, az alacsony énhatékonyság és ennek következtében a csökkent életminőség a szorongásos zavarok gyakori velejárói. A társas környezetben tapasztalt szorongás nemcsak a vonásszorongással és a tökéletességre való törekvéssel függ össze, hanem a pszichológiai védőfaktorok hiányával is. Annak ellenére, hogy a lámpaláz hazánkban is igen elterjedt, a pedagógusok csak kis mértékben, vagy egyáltalán nem tudnak tanácsot adni a kezelést vagy a tünetek enyhítését illetően. Nemzetközi szinten dinamikusan nő a lámpaláz iránti érdeklődés, bővül a zenészek körében alkalmazott terápiás lehetőségek száma, míg hazánkban csak elvétve találunk olyan tanulmányokat, amelyek említenék ezt a témakört. Ezt a hiányt szeretném pótolni a jelen tanulmánnyal, amelyben bemutatom a zenei teljesítményszorongás háttértényezőit, a társuló mentális zavarokat és azokat a kezelési módszereket, amelyek hatékonyságát már zenészek körében is igazolták. A szakirodalmi áttekintés alapján a zenei teljesítményszorongás minden korosztályban és hangszercsoportban előforduló jelenség. Tünetei a specifikus fóbiával mutatnak hasonlóságokat, fokozott szociális félelem esetén azonban felmerülhet a szociális szorongás gyanúja. Más szorongásos zavarokhoz hasonlóan gyakrabban fordul elő nők körében. Kialakulásának hátterét egy pánikszerű negatív érzelem képzi, amely kondicionálás útján asszociálódik a zenei teljesítményhelyzettel. Protektív faktorként tekinthető az énhatékonyság-érzés és a vonásszintű tudatosság, ezek hiányában gyakran jár együtt depresszióval és perfekcionizmussal. A társuló zavarok miatt kezelése komplex, azonban megfelelő terápia és gyógyszeres kezelés pozitív változásokat eredményez. Az oktatási intézményekben jelenleg nagy szükség lenne olyan előadói készségfejlesztő kurzusokra és szakmai programokra, amelyek tájékoztatásra adnának lehetőséget a zenei teljesítményszorongást és annak kezelését illetően.
Nacionalismo, religião e (des)igualdade de sexo em Israel pelo prisma do direito da familia
Authors: Halperin-Kaddari Ruth , Yadgar Yaacov
Published: June 2019

Este artigo mostra que o conflito violento e duradouro mantido por Israel com os seus vizinhos árabes está pesando de modo decisivo sobre as relações de gênero. Aos olhos de muitos judeus israelenses, trata-se de uma luta pela sobrevivência do Estado judeu, que eclipsou a maioria das outras questões de ordem civil e social – tais como a igualdade dos sexos e os direitos das mulheres – julgadas ‘secundárias’, por comparação. Daí a perpetuação de práticas discriminatórias, até a sujeição aberta das mulheres em Israel. O artigo trata mais especificamente da questão do matrimônio e do divórcio, tomada como revelador. Ela joga luz sobre o papel que os movimentos feministas – religioso judeu, de um lado, e árabe-palestino, do outro lado – exerceram na reforma do direito da família.
Direitos reprodutivos na Polônia: o medo dos políticos frente à arrogância da igreja
Authors: Heinen Jacqueline , Portet Stéphane
Published: June 2019

A Igreja Católica polonesa alcançou o seu prestígio graças ao papel desempenhado na resistência contra a ocupação estrangeira, no século XIX, e depois durante o regime comunista. Ora, a sua influência cresceu consideravelmente graças à Concordata firmada com o Estado pós-comunista e aos vínculos formais ou informais estabelecidos com os partidos políticos. Como ilustrado pela lei sobre a proibição total do aborto adotada em 1993, o catolicismo constitui de facto a religião do Estado neste país formalmente laico. Apesar do recuo dos princípios religiosos em matéria de sexualidade e procriação, a maior parte dos políticos evita criticar a Igreja sobre esses assuntos controversos. Por isso, as feministas encontram sérias dificuldades na defesa dos direitos das mulheres – e a adesão à União Europeia não mudou quase nada neste campo.

Cumulative Science via Bayesian Posterior Passing
Authors: Brand Charlotte Olivia , Ounsley James Patrick , Van der Post Daniel Job , Morgan Thomas Joshua Henry
Published: June 2019

This paper introduces a statistical technique known as “posterior passing” in which the results of past studies can be used to inform the analyses carried out by subsequent studies. We first describe the technique in detail and show how it can be implemented by individual researchers on an experiment by experiment basis. We then use a simulation to explore its success in identifying true parameter values compared to current statistical norms (ANOVAs and GLMMs). We find that posterior passing allows the true effect in the population to be found with greater accuracy and consistency than the other analysis types considered. Furthermore, posterior passing performs almost identically to a data analysis in which all data from all simulated studies are combined and analysed as one dataset. On this basis, we suggest that posterior passing is a viable means of implementing cumulative science. Furthermore, because it prevents the accumulation of large bodies of conflicting literature, it alleviates the need for traditional meta-analyses. Instead, posterior passing cumulatively and collaboratively provides clarity in real time as each new study is produced and is thus a strong candidate for a new, cumulative approach to scientific analyses and publishing.
Pull-out tests of ribbed steel reinforcing bars embedded in concrete with steel fibres

Published: June 2019

This paper presents an experimental study on the behaviour of the bond stress of steel reinforcing bars embedded in steel-fibre-reinforced concrete. In total, 27 specimens were subjected to pull-out tests. The main variables included the volumetric fraction of the fibre, the diameter of the reinforcing bars and the anchorage length. The results showed that the introduction of steel fibres had a significant effect on improving the bond stress performance in terms of the failure load resistance, the tensile resistance of the concrete and the reduction in the anchorage length, resulting in a more ductile bonding behaviour of reinforcing bars with smaller tested diameters. An equation to estimate the ultimate bond stress was proposed based on the prescriptions of the Brazilian design code NBR 6118, which is more accurate and considers the observed effects of the fibre addition.
An assessment of damper placement methods considering upfront damper cost
Authors: Del Gobbo Giuseppe Marcantonio , Williams Martin S. , Blakeborough Anthony
Published: June 2019

Previous studies have shown that earthquake repair costs can be minimised by using large levels of supplemental damping and uniform damper placement. However, it is not always feasible to achieve this damping due to structural or financial restraints. Iterative damper placement methods may be able to achieve higher levels of damping than simple methods such as uniform damping for the same total damper cost. In this work, six damper placement methods were assessed based on structural and non-structural repair costs. The total damper cost was constrained to be the same in each case. The scope of work was limited to linear fluid viscous dampers, concentric braced frames and regular structures. The iterative methods were found to provide a greater total damping coefficient to the structures than the simple methods. This resulted in a higher supplemental damping ratio and lower repair costs. If upfront funds are limited, or if architectural constraints prevent the placement of dampers in lower storeys, then iterative methods provide the most favourable total-building seismic performance. However, the conclusions should be extended cautiously. Although iterative methods are favourable when the upfront damper investment is strictly limited, in terms of total-building seismic performance, it is advantageous to provide a large damping ratio using uniform damping.
Estimation of the effect of surface blast on buildings
Authors: Tolani Sunita , Bharti Shiv Dayal , Shrimali Mahendra Kumar , Datta Tushar Kanti
Published: June 2019

A surface blast generates both air pressure and ground shock on structures. Studies on the relative effects of the air pressure and ground shock on the responses of structures are meagre. In the present study, a preliminary estimate of the relative contributions of the ground shock and air pressure on building responses due to a surface blast is obtained by using an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) model. For this purpose, both linear and non-linear analyses of SDOF models of four reinforced concrete building frames of different heights are performed under different blast scenarios by varying the standoff distance and charge weight. In addition, the criticality of the surface blast in comparison to the free air blast is investigated with the help of the same SDOF models. The study reveals that the contribution of the ground shock is less than that of the air pressure on the responses of low-rise buildings. For high-rise buildings, the opposite trend is observed for smaller standoff distances (R < 15 m). Further, it is shown that the surface blast is more critical as compared to the free air blast for shorter buildings (fewer than six storeys), but the opposite holds good for taller buildings.

HTAPP_NST- Nuclei isolation from frozen tissue v1
Authors: Drokhlyansky Eugene , Van Wittenberghe Nicholas , Slyper Michal , Waldman Julia , Rozenblatt-Rosen Orit , Regev Aviv
Published: June 2019

This protocol describes a nuclei isolation method for frozen tissues based on the previously published protocol by Gao et al. and modified Drokhlyansky et al (unpublished). This protocol is compatible with 10X droplet-based single-cell technology. This method is part of a toolbox for processing frozen tissue samples, including the NST (this protocol), CST and TST protocols (all available in protocols.io). We recommend users to test all three protocols on their tissue type of interest, and perform side-by-side comparison of the data generated. For the HTAPP project, this protocol was tested on metastatic breast cancer, ovarian cancer and pediatric neuroblastoma frozen samples. For these cancer types, however, TST was the protocol of choice. When tested on HTAPP samples, NST, in general, underperformed compared to TST and CST, based on several QC parameters.

Desencadenamiento de debris flow en el volcán Teide. ¿Un proceso creciente?
Authors: Criado Hernández Constantino , Dorta Pedro , Casanova Héctor , González-Reimers Emilio , Arnay Matilde , Soler Vicente
Published: June 2019

El volcán Teide es la montaña más elevada del territorio español, alcanzando los 3.718 m.s.n.m. Es un estratovolcán doble; el volcán de Pico Viejo (3.100 m.s.n.m) presenta un cráter amplio, mientras que el volcán Teide, en posición más oriental, tuvo su última erupción hace posiblemente 1,2 ka (Lavas Negras). Por debajo de estos flujos lávicos recientes aflora la estructura del Teide Antiguo, un edificio gigante cuyos materiales más recientes han sido datados en 30 ka. Presenta laderas muy empinadas (por encima de 40o) y muestra algunos barrancos, siendo los más importantes el Corredor de La Bola y el Corredor de La Corbata. Este último ha sido parcialmente rellenado por las Lavas Negras. En su cabecera presenta una coloración pálida, con forma de triángulo, producida por una intensa alteración fumaroliana afectando a la roca traquítica. La actividad de este barranco no ha sido muy importante no existiendo referencias de ella para los últimos 30 años. Sin embargo, el 22 de septiembre de 2010 una lluvia intensa produjo la removilización de materiales desde la mancha pálida (localizada por encima de los 3.200 m.s.n.m.), formando un debris flow impresionante. En el presente artículo mostramos los resultados del estudio morfométrico, sedimentológico y climático, haciendo hincapié en las inusuales condiciones meteorológicas que produjeron el desencadenamiento de este proceso como clave para interpretar otros debris flow anteriores y prevenir el riesgo derivado de los futuros.
A critical review of research on the work-related attitudes of Generation Z in China
Authors: Tang F.
Published: June 2019

To date, comparatively little empirical research has been done on Generation Z globally, and the studies that do exist, while informative, have arrived at different, often loosely tied, conclusions. Seeing as how Generation Z is in the process of joining the professional workforce, it is important for decision makers to understand this generation’s value differences and cultural orientation in order to mitigate intergenerational conflicts and ensure a productive workforce going forward. China, meanwhile, is a rising superpower, and its Generation Z will have a significant impact globally. With the generational mix at work changing to accommodate this new generation, this paper presents a critique of current empirical research on this topic in a cross-cultural context and offers recommendations regarding future research directions as these relate to generational shift in China and other non-Western contexts. It is only by better understanding Generation Z that organizations can develop strategies and policies that will ensure a productive, profitable and collaborative environment in the future, one that better takes into account this newest generation’s needs and outlook.

Published: June 2019

Aim. To study the oncological expediency of using vascular techniques in organ-saving treatment of lung cancer.

Materials and methods. Over the period of 2009–2016, there were performed 92 lobectomies with resection and reconstruction of the pulmonary artery in patients with non-small carcinoma of the lung.

Results. No intraoperative complications and lethal outcomes were fixed. The postoperative complications were registered in 23 cases (25.3 %). Lethality was 3.3 %. The overall one-year survival rate in patients with stage I–III lung cancer after organ-saving surgery was 96.7 %, three-year – 65.1 %, five-year – 36.6 %, median survival rate – 53.1 months. The recurrence-free survival rate in patients with stage I–III lung cancer was: one-year – 89.9 %, three-year – 65.3 %, five-year – 48.8 %. The median recurrence-free survival rate was 49.8 months.

Conclusions.Angioplastic lobectomy provides an acceptable short and long-term result, which does not yield to the analogous indices for pulmonectomy. It confirms our opinion on the expediency of implementing this procedure regarding non-small carcinoma of the lung.

Aim. To improve the results of patients’ treatment after midline laparotomy by reducing the number of the postoperative ventral hernias and eventrations.

Materials and methods.There were examined 111 urgent patients, operated through the median laparotomic approach. The main group included 48 persons, for whom,on completion of intervention,the white line was sutured with a chess-staggered suture(patent of RF № 2644846, 14.02.18). In the control group, for median aponeurosis interrupted sutures were used.

Results. In the early postoperative period, in the control group there were 2 (3 %) eventrations, in the main group – no eventrations. After one year of observations, in the main group – 3 (6 %) patients with aponeurosis defects by the postoperative scar USI and 2 (4 %) patients with hernias were found out. In the control, one year after the surgery, there were 6 (9.5 %) aponeurosis defects and 5 (8 %) postoperative hernias.

Conclusions. Application of interrupted chess suture in combination with staggered sutures is the way to prevent eventrations and postoperative ventral hernias in urgent surgery.

Aim. To assess the morphological changes in inguinal lymph nodes among patients with stage 4a HIV infection, who receive antiretroviral therapy.

Materials and methods. There were examined 12 HIV-infected patients with stage 4a, treated at “Perm Regional Center for Prevention and Fight against AIDS and Infectious Diseases”, who received antiretroviral therapy for 2 years. Two groups of patients were formed: group I – 6 persons, whose CD+ blood lymphocyte number was more than 350 in 1 mcl; group II – 6 persons with CD+ blood lymphocyte number less than 350 in 1 mcl. Inguinal lymph nodes (ILN) were taken under local anesthesia, histological preparations were prepared by traditional scheme, stained with hematoxylin and eosin using Masson three-colour staining. In immunohistochemical reactions expression of Ki-67 and CD+ markers was estimated.

Results.Histoarchitectonics of lymph nodes was changed as a result of massive development of sclerosis in the region of hilum, capsule and trabecules. Against the background of sclerosis, there occurred lymphocyte depletion, change in structure of stromal cells and neoangiogenesis in all the zones of the lymph node. In the regions of sclerosis, death of lymphocytes was revealed. In patients of the second group, more active development of follicles with the centers of reproduction in the lymph node cortical substance, as well as growth of the number of Ki-67 maker-expressing cells was established

Conclusions.In the inguinal lymph nodes, the development of sclerotic processes causes the death of T-lymphocytes, which, in their turn, are the source of lymphotoxin-β formation. Loss of CD+-T-lymphocytes is accompanied by deficit of lymphotoxin-β and induces the loss of fibroblastic reticular cells themselves, which through the production of IL-7 support the vital activity of T-cells.

Aim. To analyze a long-term dynamics of the primary morbidity of circulatory system in the population of Perm and Perm Krai.

Materials and methods. The primary circulatory system morbidity per 1000 of the population of Perm Krai and Perm was analyzed under the materials of Perm Regional Medical Information-Analytical Center. Statistical processing of the data was performed using Microsoft Excel 2016.

Results. Over the period from 2007 to 2017, there was established a growth of the level of primary circulatory system morbidity as a whole and ischemic heart disease in particular among the population of Perm Krai and Perm. Morbidity rate was essentially higher in the inhabitants of Perm Krai but annual gain rate – more significant in the urban population that is explained by availability and quality of medical care and social factors. The growth of the level of primary diseases, characterized by increased arterial pressure, is insignificant during this period of observation. The average annual increase was 1.54 % in the inhabitants of Perm and 0.53 in Perm Krai.

Conclusions. The level of primarily detected circulatory system diseases in the population of Perm Krai and Perm essentially raised for 11 years of observation. Primary IHD morbidity indices as well as average annual rate of their growth is significantly higher than the analogous indices of diseases, characterized by increase in arterial pressure.

Aim. To study the safety of the preparation “Licopid®” using the data, obtained with the method of questioning of doctors of various specialities. The reactant of “Licopid®” tablets is glucoseminylmuramildipeptide – a synthetic analogue of the structural fragment of bacterial cells membrane (peptidoglycan), which is an activator of congenital and acquired immunity;it strengthens the defense of the body from viral, bacterial and fungal infections; it has an adjuvant effect in development of immunological reactions.

Materials and methods. The object of this study were the answers of 2315 specialists to the questions of surveys regarding the safety of using immunomodulator“Licopid®” in their practical activity. The regions, involved into the survey were the following cities: Moscow, Kazan, Krasnodar, Ekaterinburg, St. Petersburg, Chelyabinsk, Novosibirsk, Perm, Samara and Voronezh as well as Krasnodar Krai. Processing of the results was fulfilled with the methods of descriptive statistics; the obtained data were compared with the method based on calculation of chi-square criterion.

Results. The analyzed results showed that 962 respondents (41.5 %) indicated the fact of revealing undesirable reactions (UR) of the preparation “Licopid®” in their own practice. It was noted by them that all undesirable reactions were not severe and predicted, i.e. they were indicated in the instruction for medical use of “Licopid®” 1 mg and 10 mg.

Conclusions. While conducting questioning, the authors revealed statistically significant differences in the structure of respondents’ answers depending on the region of residence and medical speciality. At the same time, for all UR, indicated in instruction, subjectively estimated occurrence rate of reactions coincided with that, declared upon registration, except myalgias and arthralgias, which were noted by doctors much rarely.

The research was focused on the integration of Fuzzy set theory with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to choose the optimum maritime security policy to achieve Indonesia recognition as the world's maritime axis. The method used is AHP with fuzzy based enhancement. Here, the weight of each criterion is calculated to overcome the criticism of the scale of unbalanced rating, uncertainty, and inaccuracy in the pairwise of comparison process. The best recommendation for Indonesian maritime policies is multi task single agency which is greatly infuenced by several factors such as technology, regulations, infrastructure, economic, politic, and socio-culture.  The finding shows that the hybrid approach is able to produce the best recommendation for Indonesian maritime security policy.

As the population grows and e economic development, houses could be one of basic needs of every family. Therefore, housing investment has promising value in the future. This research implements the Self-Organized Map (SOM) algorithm to cluster house data for providing several house groups based on the various features. K-means is used as the baseline of the proposed approach. SOM has higher silhouette coefficient (0.4367) compared to its comparison (0.236). Thus, this method outperforms k-means in terms of visualizing high-dimensional data cluster. It is also better in the cluster formation and regulating the data distribution.
