MITOCHONDRIAL WAY OF INITIATION OF APOPTOSIS OF LYMPHOCYTES AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF SUPPRESSION OF PROLIFERATION OF T-CELLS AT LIMFOPENIA AT ALMOST HEALTHY INHABITANTS OF THE ARCTIC

Stavinskaya O.A., Dobrodeeva L.K.

Abstract

Purpose - to study apoptosis indicators (programmed death) of blood lymphocytes at a limfopenia at almost healthy aged people from 20 to 60 years, living and working in the Arkhangelsk region of the Russian Federation. Methods. Apoptosis of lymphocytes was estimated by method of a flow laser cytofluorimetry. Definition of concentration of cytokins and mediators of apoptosis to blood was carried out by method of the solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In dabs of blood stain across Romanovsky's - Giemsa studied a limfocytogramma. The maintenance of phenotypes of lymphocytes was determined by method of a double peroxidase tag with use of monoclonal antibodies. Research type retrospective, selections casual, one-stage. Population - inhabitants of the North of the European territory of Russia. Borders of normal distribution of quantitative indices defined by means of Shapiro - Wilk test statistics. Reliability of distinctions between groups was estimated by means of parametrical t-criterion of Student's and Uilkokson's test. The research was conducted with respect for the main standards of biomedical ethics. Results. For realization of a goal two groups of the examined persons have been allocated: with normal (2,5-4,0 х 109 c/l, n = 44) and lowered (<1,5 х 109 c/l, n = 32) the level of lymphocytes in blood. Groups were almost equivalent on age and a sex. Reliability of distinctions between groups was estimated by means of parametrical t-criterion of Student's and Uilkokson's test. It is established that the lack of maintenance of lymphocytes of blood of almost healthy inhabitants of the Arctic is associated with an inhibition of processes of proliferation in system of lymphocytes with decrease in quantity of CD10+ and the IL-2 level. At the examined people concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokins, cytotoxic cells and a transferrin grow. Conclusions. Level of activity of apoptosis of lymphocytes against the background of a limfopenia doesn't change, but prevalence of a mitochondrial way of his initiation is registered that is interconnected with insufficiency of power providing a cell.

Bel'skaya L.V., Sarf E.A., Kosenok V.K., Massard Z.

Abstract

A high rate of change in the composition of saliva can be used to monitor biorhythms (seasonal and circadian). Research objective -the study of the dynamics of the near-24-hour mineral composition of saliva in men and women. Methods. The study involved 40 people (20 men, 20 women, age 23.1 ± 0.9 years). Saliva samples were collected every 3 hours during the day. The mineral composition of saliva was defined by the capillary electrophoresis technique. The cross-group differences were evaluated using the non-parametric criterion. Results. It is shown that the sodium concentration reaches its maximum values at night (9.67 mM), and then monotonously decreases to 12-15 p.m. (5.72 mM). For potassium concentration, the maximum is observed around 12 p.m. (10.71 mM), remains at a stably high level until 21 p.m., after which it decreases until 6:00 a.m. in the morning (8.78 mM). For the Na/K ratio, one maximum is observed, corresponding to 3 a.m. in the night (Na/K = 1.257), and one minimum at 12-13 p.m. (Na/K = 0.666; р = 0.0082). Conclusion. Thus, the diurnal dynamics of the parameters studied is characterized by pronounced periodicity. The revealed regularities are caused by a change in the rate of saliva secretion during the day, and by the action of hormones.

Shangina A.A., Popova O.N., Tikhonova E.V., Kolmogorov S.V., Gudkov A.B.

Abstract

Intention. Aim? The effect of local cooling of the hand and foot skin on the functioning of pulmonary gas exchange in 30 young men and 30 girls aged 18-24 has been studied. Methods. At the initial stage of the study, an analysis of exhaled air was carried out with the ergospirometry system Oxycon Pro. The next stage consisted of carrying out a cold effect on the hand skin. The examinee put down a hand for 1 minute in a vessel with water with temperature successively was 24 °С, 15 °C and 8 °C. Right after local hypothermia repeated analysis of the exhaled air composition was carried out. The recovery interval between the tests was 25-30 minutes. The analysis of exhaled air was carried out during cooling of the foot in the same sequence. Results. A statistically significant increase in the ventilation equivalent for carbon dioxide (VECO2) by 5.4 % after cooling with a temperature of 8 °С and a ventilation equivalent for oxygen (VEO2) by 7.6 %, 7.6 %, and 6.4 % with cooling at 24 °С, 15 °С and 8 °С, respectively, were observed in girls while cooling the hand skin. There were also increase in the value of the respiratory coefficient (RC) at 24 °С by 3.9 % and at 8 °С by 2.6 %. A significant increase in RC by 7.8 % was also performed in young men while the local hypothermia of the hand at the temperature of 24 °С. An increase in VEO2 by 8.8 % in girls was observed in result of local cooling of the foot at the temperature of 24 °С. Influence of temperatures of 15 °С and 8 °С led to a significant increase in the indicator of VECO2 by 4.8 % and 7.6 %, and also by 8.4 % and 8.0 %, respectively. In addition, the cold influence on the foot skin in young men caused a significant decrease in the liberation rate of carbon dioxide (LRCO2) by 18.8 % while cooling at 24 °С, and at 8 °С by 17.1%. Conclusion. The reaction of pulmonary gas exchange to local cooling in girls is more pronounced than in young men and depends on the area of cooling and the temperature of exposure. The most significant changes are observed when the foot is locally cooled by the temperature of the water, causing a slight and strong body strain.

NEUROEPIGENETICS IN METHODOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGICAL PLATFORM OF MENTAL MEDICINE

Sidorov P.I.

Abstract

The aim of the article is the conceptual and methodological generalization and systematization of new studies on neuroepigenetics for the development of the technological platform of mental medicine (MM). MM is one of the newest examples of reformatting yesterday's nosocentric boundaries and early pre-nosological forecasting of tomorrow's possible mental ailments. The substantiation for the functional lateralization of mentality (mental asymmetry) as one of the tools of neuroepigenetic coding of identity and behavior is proposed. MM harmoniously combines in its technological platform genetic and epigenetic molecular mechanisms, socio-psychological and clinical-psychopathological, spiritual-moral and religious-integrated tools. This allows MM to practically implement yesterday's "neuroepigenetic fantasies" about editing and formatting the design of the network cascade of genetic and epigenetic identity: molecular - cellular - tissue - organ - organism - personal - social - population. The degree and the vector of dispersion of genomic and epigenomic identity reflect possible resources of evolutionary variability embodied in the registers of mental immunity (MI) and manifested by the mental resilience. MI is a neural network multisystem and multimodal identity interface in its interaction with the internal and external environment. The identified basic functional characteristics of MI are modeled by epigenetic switches or labels, and are embodied in behavioral phenomenology or pathoplastics and pathokinetics of mental disorders. The epidemic increase in the prevalence of mental and psychosomatic disorders is suggested to be called the pandemic of mental immune deficiency (PMID) by the name of the earliest and nonspecific syndrome of mental immune deficiency accumulating initial manifestations of MI dysfunctions transgenerationally. The global predictors of PMID are many of the challenges of the modern world: from the psychic traumatization of childhood to cumulative existential stress. In MM sanogenetic therapy as adaptive modulation of MI triggers cascade self-renewal of personality, clinically manifested by its therapeutic drift (diagnoses-syndromes-symptoms-states). The well-known expression of Nobel Laureate Peter Medawar: "Genetics proposes and epigenetics disposes" should be supplemented with a practically significant mission of MM, which embodies the design models of quality and style, the way and meaning of life in adaptive neuroengineering and self-management of consciousness and health.

FALLING ASLEEP PROCESS IN HUMAN LISTENING TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF MONOTONOUS SOUND: A PILOT STUDY

Shumov D.E., Sveshnikov D.S., Torshin V.I., Dorokhov V.B.

Abstract

Development of non-invasive sleep-aid tools requires paying attention to techniques reducing and stabilizing fall-asleep time. Otherwise, all attempts to affect posterior sleep make no sense. The aim of current study was to compare effectiveness of listening through stereo earphones to three types of monotonous sound as one of those techniques. Namely, the sound engendering so-called "binaural beats" (BB), the sound containing ordinary ("monaural") beats (MB) and the sound containing pure tones without beats (imitation, IM) were applied. Methods. Data collected by polysomnographic record (EEG and eye movements) of falling asleep process of 14 subjects during listening to those three sound types then were analyzed to compare the fall-asleep time corresponding to each type. Results. The fall-asleep time during BB-stimulation was less than during IM in 10 subjects from 14; during MB-stimulation - in 5 subjects from 14. The fall-asleep time in BB-stimulation series was significantly (p < 0.05) less than in IM-series. MB-stimulation series contained no significant differences in fall-asleep time from IM-series. Conclusion. Binaural beat stimulation gives rise to the least fall-asleep time beside the sound containing ordinary (monaural) beats as well as monotonous beatless sound.

Kondrat'ev K.V., Kiku P.F., Andryukov B.G., Moreva V.G., Sabirova K.M.

Abstract

Aim - to identify patterns of the diffuse endemic goiter incidence in adolescents and adults living in different bioclimatic zones and ecological conditions in Primorsky region. Methods. Methods of descriptive statistics and environmental-hygienic evaluation. To assess the reliability of the difference in the indicators, the Pearson criterion was used. The territory of Primorsky region was classified into bioclimatic zones and zones of ecological situation in previously conducted research. Results. It should be noted that in the continental and coastal bioclimatic zones with a relatively favorable level of ecological situation, the incidence of the investigated nosology was higher (in the range of 1 699.1-2 399.9 per 100 000 adolescent population, 702.7-290.1 per 100 000 of the adult population) than in areas with a relatively satisfactory and tense level of environmental situation (93.6-1 423.2 per 100 000 adolescents, 46.5-668.6 per 100 000 adults). The transitional bioclimatic zone was marked by a high level of morbidity in a critical ecological situation (4 844.7 in adolescents, 617.0 in adults) and a stressed environmental situation (1 736.5 in adolescents, 490.1 in adults). Conclusion. Revealed regularity suggests the existence of group of previously neglected factors, taking part in formation of thyroid pathologies, associated with iodine deficiency in Primorsky region. The impact study on the population will help to develop the full picture of dependence appearance of iodine deficiency disorders from environmental factors in the region

Dubovichenko D.M., Valkov M.Y.

Abstract

Aim. Assessment of the rectal cancer (RC) incidence and mortality in the Arkhangelsk region (AR), North-Western Russia according to population-based data of the Arkhangelsk Regional Cancer Registry (ARCR) over the period 2000-2015. Methods. Data on all cases of RC in the AR were extracted from the database of the ARCR. 3 721 cases of the RC were selected. For mortality estimation 2 187 cases of RC were taken over the study period. Age-standardized (ASR) RC rates were calculated. Population number and its age distribution were taken from the Regional Bureau of Statistics, Arkhangelskstat. Time trends were analyzed using segmented regression. Results. Incidence of RC in AR increased from 11.5 to 14.2 per 100 000; 18.6 vs 11.8 among men and women in 2015, respectively. The female RC incidence increased significantly by 4.6 % per year in 2011-2015. The incidence of both urban and rural populations was 11.8 and 18.7 per 100 000 in 2015, respectively. Mortality estimates ranged from 10.0 to 12.2 per 100 000 in 2005-2015, respectively. Mortality among males was higher than in females - 19.9 vs 8.4 per 100 000 in 2015, respectively. The trend of male mortality significantly increased by 6.5 % per year in 2011-2015, while in females the mortality has been decreasing by 0.7% per year from 2009 to 2015. Conclusion. Epidemiological model for RC in both AR and Russia shows progressively increasing incidence and mortality rates and substantially differs from that in developed countries. A higher incidence rates among males and rural population require detailed analysis.
