Published: June 2019

Inhaled glucocorticosteroids are the main drugs used to control bronchial asthma in children. P450-cytochrome of  3A (CYP3A) family is involved in  their metabolism. CYP3A5-isoenzyme plays the leading role in  the respiratory tract. We described 6986A>G polymorphism in the CYP3A5 gene encoding this isoenzyme.

Aim of the study. To evaluate the association of CYP3A5 (6986A> G) gene polymorphism with the effectiveness of drugs in children with bronchial asthma.

Materials and methods. We examined 108 children from 6 to 17 years with bronchial asthma. The allergist carried out the dynamic outpatient polyclinic follow-up of patients, assessed the symptoms of the disease and corrected the corresponding basic therapy. All children underwent genotyping for the 6986A> G polymorphic marker of the CYP3A5 gene.

Results. Ten (9.26%) children were heterozygous for the 6986A> G polymorphic marker of  the CYP3A5 gene (AG genotype). The authors obtained statistically significant differences in the frequency of the AG genotype between the patients receiving control therapy for bronchial asthma of the 1st – 2nd stage and the patients with control therapy of the 3rd and higher stages in accordance with GINA criteria (p=0.031). In the group with severe bronchial asthma, the number of heterozygotes for the 6986A> G polymorphic marker of the CYP3A5 gene was significantly higher than among children with a mild course of the disease (p=0.029).

Conclusion. The AG genotype and A-allele (CYP3A5 gene, A6986A> G polymorphism) are associated with the need for greater volume of control therapy for bronchial asthma and they are risk factors of a more severe course of the disease.

Topic inhaled antibiotic therapy in children with prolonged adenoiditis
Authors: Kirichenko I. M.
Published: June 2019

Currently the issue of antibiotic resistance is urgent due to the unreasonable prescription of systemic antibiotics in the treatment of the upper respiratory tract infections. Frequent use of systemic antibiotic therapy in childhood leads to disruption of the microbiota and the development of secondary immunodeficiency. Alternative topical antibiotic therapy together with mucolytics allows the antibiotic to penetrate directly to the inflammation site and destroy biofilms. The article outlines the use of thiamphenicol glycinate acetylcysteinate in children with prolonged adenoiditis. In Russia this antibiotic is presented by Fluimucil® IT; it is manufactured in the form of a lyophilisate for both injectable solutions and solutions for inhalations and irrigation of mucous membranes. Thiamphenicol glycinate acetylcysteinate helps to improve the course of the disease, in some cases, to avoid invasive procedures and reduce the use of systemic antibiotics.

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an immune-mediated violation of coagulation, the diagnosis of which requires mandatory laboratory confirmation. Since the clinical manifestations of APS are extremely diverse, various specialists are involved in the diagnostic process – neurology, cardiologists, surgeons, hematologists, endocrinologists, laboratory medicine specialists, etc. So far, it remains an open question what specialist exactly should make the final diagnosis and supervise patient with APS. The experience of a separate diagnostic center shows the distribution of prescriptions and their compliance with the international recommendations. This study also provides data on the frequency of prescribing laboratory tests to confirm APS, which is 1.2% of all coagulation tests. Among the patients with suspected APS on the basis of clinical signs, only 12.2% of the diagnosis was confirmed. Presents the dangers of obtaining false-positive results that should be taken into account when prescribing laboratory tests.

Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a serious and potentially life-threatening side effect of heparinotherapy. It is an antibody-mediated process that causes platelet activation, increases the procoagulant characteristics of the blood and, as a result, endangering limbs and life-threatening thrombosis. Venous thrombosis is more common than arterial thrombosis, especially deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs and pulmonary artery thrombosis. Mortality from complications of heparinotherapy occurs with a frequency of 20–30 % of cases. Diagnosis of HIT is difficult. Such basic symptoms as thrombocytopenia and thrombosis are extremely non-specific and may be present in cancer patients and patients with cardiosurgical pathologies without the impact of heparin. Women are twice as likely to have HIT as men. This review describes pathogenesis, clinical features, modern diagnostic methods, risk factors for the emergence of this formidable complication of heparinotherapy, gives an overview of the most frequent use of drugs for the treatment of HIT, and gives modern clinical recommendations for different groups of patients.

Effect of inner stiffeners on vibration and noise levels of gearbox housing without changing the mass
Authors: Ümütlü Rafet Can , Hizarci Berkan , Dalbicer Cem , Ozturk Hasan , Kiral Zeki
Published: June 2019

Especially, with the advancement of technology, mechanical parts need to be designed to be lighter and more durable. In the industry, gears are the most common power transmission equipment, and for this equipment, increasing durability and rigidity has an essential importance. During power transmission, undesired vibration and noise arise in gear systems. In addition to gear design, gearbox housing design is also essential to reduce the radiation of undesired structure-borne noise and vibration. In order to reduce noise and vibration levels, some modifications are frequently used on gearbox housings. In this study, three different gearbox housing designs (basic, cross and cellular) are formed and analysed by using ANSYS® software. The design alternatives for housings have been formed inside of the structure as different quantities of longitudinal and transverse stiffeners. In addition, all the external dimensions and the mass of these three housing designs are equal in order to observe just vibration and noise reduction. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), statistical properties of vibration signals and sound levels of the gearbox have used for comparisons to determine which gearbox have better vibration and sound levels.
Inferring causality from highly noisy uni-directionally coupled chaotic oscillators with small frequency mismatch
Authors: Pukenas Kazimieras
Published: June 2019

In the present work, we present a new algorithm for assessing causality in uni-directionally coupled chaotic oscillators with small frequency mismatch embedded in heavy white Gaussian noise. This method is based on the correlation between changes in the phase dynamics of the slave oscillator and the dynamics of the phase difference between the oscillators. To recover the phase at low signal-to-noise ratio, a nonlinear adaptive denoising algorithm based on finding sinusoidal fits to the local neighbourhood of the reconstructed phase space is used. Application of the proposed approach to master-slave Rössler systems showed that the new algorithm is well-suited for assessing the presence and direction of coupling in highly noisy uni-directionally coupled chaotic oscillators, especially in the case of weak and moderate coupling.

The fractal and multifractal methods are now widely used for analysis and classification of digital images having complex structure. We present the results of the application of such methods to the images of crystallograms obtained by crystallization with additives. This technique was developed for studying images of blood crystals, and now finds increasing use in the analysis of medicines, checking food and soil quality. In this work we study images of crystallograms of various milk dilutions and crystallograms obtained with bean leave extracts. The results show that the proposed mathematical methods seem to be rather perspective both in comparing images of different classes and in obtaining classifying signs.

Vacancy expansion in alpha-Ti under tensile loads at different strain rates with MD simulation
Authors: Li Junye , Zang Xiang , Zhao Weihong , Zhang Xinming
Published: June 2019

In order to analyze the effect of strain rate under tensile load on microcrack growth in Alpha Titanium, molecular dynamics simulation was used to analyze the results of atomic location, dislocation distribution, lattice phase transition, potential energy distribution and volume strain distribution. It was found that the cracks gradually evolved into holes after unstable propagation, and the holes were occupied by clusters on both sides of the material in the later stage under the necking of the material. The higher the tensile strain rate, the earlier the crack initiation and the larger the evolution of the through-hole. When the same strain value is reached, the lattice transformation ratio is higher under high strain rate loading. HCP is transformed into amorphous structure, BCC lattice type and a small amount of FCC type. Moreover, the larger the strain rate, the less the compatible deformation ability of the lattice is, and the more twins are produced. In addition, it is found that there are volumetric strain wave emission and diffusion in the model at the moment of void birth, and voids play a role in dividing the energy absorption region. Dislocation emission occurs at the crack tip and energy competition exists between dislocation and crack propagation.

Authors: Leont'eva Lidiya S. , Churashkina Anna V.
Published: June 2019

The aim of the article is to reveal the idea of the notion ‘entrepreneurial structures’ strategic development’. The author’s approach to this notion investigation is proposed, which uses methods of system analysis and systematization of development criteria. The author designed a three-level model of development criteria based on principles of their dependence and mutual deduction and substantiated the possibility to consider pair categories of quality and quantity, simple and complicated, regress and progress, activity and passivity, efficiency and inefficiency as development criteria. On this foundation the author formed understanding of entrepreneurial structures’ strategic development as a synthetic process of changing their activity and efficiency. According to the author, parameters of activity and efficiency are related to strategic characteristics and their change shows quantitative and qualitative aspects of entrepreneurial structures’ strategic development. It creates prerequisites for grounding assessment indicators characterizing the level and dynamics of activity and efficiency of entrepreneurial structures’ functioning and their integral assessment. The description of the process of entrepreneurial structures’ strategic development on the basis of these indicators can give an opportunity to resolve tasks of monitoring orientation and to raise the level of substantiation and assessment of consequences of strategic managerial decisions.

Published: June 2019

Healthy nutrition exerts positive impact on quality of life and life span of people laid during the foundation period of the organism in the children and teenage years, i.e. when all children and teenagers go to pre-school and school. The article provides information about catering organization in education institution in certain entities of the Russian Federation. Catering services rendered in the traditional format used in regions were compared with the board format realized in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Positive sides of the traditional system of catering for children and teenagers in education institutions were illustrated by the work of the Podolsk Group of Catering Services and Whole-Retail Sale. The shift to the centralized making food for supply to education institutions and shutting-down their cooking blocks were recognized as inexpedient. It is grounded by a number of restrictions and problems, including excessive unification of food, impossibility to respond quickly to the customers’ needs and increase in the best-before dates of finished food, which can cause a drop in organoleptic characteristics of food. A threatening problem is security of finished culinary produce, whose infringement, according to RBK, led to food intoxication and serious illnesses in children and teenagers. In this connection the work of the Podolsk administration and the Podolsk Group of Catering Services and Whole-Retail Sale dealing with supply of high quality food can be considered as positive experience.
ABOUT THE SITUATION WITH UNFINISHED CONSRTUCTION AND ITS INVOLVEMENT IN ECONOMIC TURNOVER
Authors: Pankratov Oleg E.
Published: June 2019

The article analyzed the dynamic of unfinished construction in 1991–2017, whose volume exceeds the annual capital investment directed to construction. It was found out that 2000–2010 were the most effective years, when the number of unfinished projects halved. When unfinished construction grows, big capital investment is withdrawn from economic turnover and the cost of these projects’ finishing goes up. The authors analyzed the reasons for such excessive amounts of unfinished construction (including long-term one) and put forward ideas of their involvement in economic turnover. Two key lines in their realization are proposed: firstly, construction completion or sale of unfinished projects and secondly, prevention of new long-term construction, including projects in housing construction .In respect of the first variant the authors suggest the development of a target program aimed at privatization of projects of unfinished construction (with concrete information about regions), as well as their completion and sale, which will provide an opportunity to get funds necessary to complete other projects or build new ones. To develop such an all-Russian program it is necessary to carry out an overall stock-taking of each project in line with a specific passport characteristic provided in the article and to make an economically grounded decision for each project. As for the second line, a number of possibilities were considered aimed at cutting the number of unfinished projects and prevention of new projects emergence. Special attention is paid to increasing investment activity in the industry, which is based on involvement of unused projects or areas of state and municipal property in economic turnover. It refers mainly to transparency of leasing vacant projects or areas according to fixed contracts and prices.

Authors: Dementiev Viktor E. , Evsukov Sergey G. , Ustyuzhanina Elena V.
Published: June 2019

The article studies conditions of dynamic pricing and marketing policy efficiency on network values market in circumstances of temporary supplier’s monopoly. The research method is economic-mathematic modeling of value cost dependence on the number of its consumers and demand for the value on price. By computer tests possibilities to use dynamic pricing for resolving three objectives are analyzed, they are maximization of net integral discounted profit of network value supplier; minimization of time necessary to reach the project repayment and minimization of time necessary to reach the maximum integral profit. The authors come to the conclusion about the importance of taking into account the peculiarities of network values markets for developing business marketing policy. They substantiate the expediency of using policy of network values differentiation (free provision of simple version of values and sale of extended version) in order to motivate net shaping and to speed up the achievement of project repayment. The economic-mathematic model of shaping network values market was put forward, which differs from existing analogues by more accurate reflection of specific rise in customer cost and shaping demand for these values. The model was used to get answers to two questions: which strategies of pricing can provide better indicators of project quality and whether it is reasonable to motivate demand by providing a free simplified version of value.

Published: June 2019

The article studies a well-known integral methodology of estimating company competitiveness. It shows the possibility to use it in practice, in particular for advertising agencies. In order to estimate competitiveness such methods as formalization, comparison, modeling and sociometry were used. The author came to the conclusion about possible application of this methodology for advertising service assessment. Models used earlier for estimation of competitiveness were oriented to the product as a physical object with a number of characteristic s (from compliance with standards to subjective appraisal by customers). Assessment of service competitiveness includes both the attitude to the product (in case service rendering is connected with a physical product) and the attitude to the company that provides the service, which can be positive, if the process of sale/purchase was pleasant or adverse, if not. The author put forward an extended appraisal of features of the whole process of client servicing. In view of its practical application this algorithm can be used both by advertising agencies (market participants) and state bodies controlling competition of the market (such as the Federal Antitrust Service).

Published: June 2019

Lately problems of small towns of our country development have become sport lights of public, bodies of federal executive power and science dealing with issues of national economy. During the last two and a half decades small to wns experienced the hardest depressive effects caused by problems of national economy. It is, for instance, the massive shut-down of enterprises (often town-supporting ones), which turned out to be uncompetitive in comparison with import, unemployment, fast migration of the population to big cities and consequently, a deep infrastructure decline and overall drop in the standard of living. Attempts to solve these problems are taken at different levels (from resolutions by federal executive power to local initiatives), however, they have sporadic nature and in general, do not demonstrate the planned effectiveness. Small towns that possess the status of historic localities of the federal importance face even more serious problems, as sustainable economic development of them is actually impossible. The article studies key causes of such problematic situations’ arising and shows key steps taken by bodies of executive power during the last period in order to resolve these problems. It analyzes complex programs of developing such localities with the use of state-private partnership as a promising method of providing sustainable development of small towns – historic localities. This analysis was made on the basis of the touristrecreation cluster ‘Kasimovskiy’ (Kasimov, Ryzan region).
