Acknowledging the supportive influence of matrix molecules on the chondrocytic phenotype, we combined heparin and chitosan to develop a novel biomaterial, supporting chondrogenesis. Chitosan had been shown as a promising structural material for a number of tissue engineering applications. Similar to heparin, one of the glycosamino-glycans (GAGs) had been known to exert various influences on the biological activities. In this study we evaluated the potential of heparin/chitosan polyelectrolyte complex materials for controlling the proliferation and differentiation of chondrocytes. The heparin/chitosan polyelectrolyte complex was coated over the polyethyleneimine (PEI) layer precoated on the commercial polystyrene dish. When examined by using human chondrocyte cell line (C28/I2), the heparin/chitosan surfaces supported well not only the cell proliferation but also the chondrocytic functions, such as expression of collagen type II. These results indicated that the heparin/chitosan complex could be used to modulate the activity of chondrocytes in vitro.

The use of high temperature special ceramics which are usually complex materials based on oxides, nitrides, carbides and borides of silicon and aluminum, is critically dependent on their thermomechanical and other physical properties. The investigations of the phase diagrams, crystal structures and microstructural features are essential for better understanding of the macro-properties. Phase diagrams and crystal structures have been studied mainly by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has contributed to this field to a very limited extent; it has been used more extensively in the study of microstructure, phase transformations and lattice defects. Often only TEM can give solutions to numerous problems in the above fields, since the various phases exist in extremely fine grains and subgrain structures; single crystals of appreciable size are often not available. Examples with some of our experimental results from two multicomponent systems are presented here. The standard ion thinning technique was used for the preparation of thin foil samples, which were then investigated with JEOL 200A and Siemens ELMISKOP 102 (for the lattice resolution work) electron microscopes.

We have directly observed the <i>in situ</i> self-assembly kinetics of polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) micelles by synchrotron time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering, equipped with a stopped-flow device that provides millisecond temporal resolution. This work has elucidated one general kinetic pathway for the process of PEC micelle formation, which provides useful physical insights for increasing our fundamental understanding of complexation and self-assembly dynamics driven by electrostatic interactions that occur on ultrafast timescales.

The relevance of the problem. Ensuring safe working conditions is currently an urgent problem of our time. Purpose of work. Analysis of bibliographic data on issues of occupational risk, industrial injuries among workers of the processing complex. Materials and methods. To achieve this goal, materials related to this topic were studied in the works of domestic and foreign scientists. Results. A lot of scientific works are devoted to the problem of assessing professional risk in the production of a processing complex. Modern research has proved that risk assessment is one of the main methods for analyzing the impact of various production factors on an employee. Conclusion Occupational morbidity and industrial injuries are a consequence of unsatisfactory conditions and labor protection in enterprises.
