On the basis of its property to genetically compensate for chromosomes of homoeologous group 3 of wheat (T. aestiυum L. em. Thell.), it is suggested that Secale cereale L. chromosome I (as originally designated by Evans and Jenkins, 1960; later as VI by Riley and Macer, 1966) be redesignated as 3R. This would bring to a total of four the number of chromosomes of rye whose homoeologous relationship with wheat is known, viz. 2R, 3R, 5R and 6R.In addition to its compensating properties for group 3, 3R also exhibited partial homoeology for homoeologous group 1, specifically with chromosome ID. As a possible explanation for this behavior, it is suggested that 3R is a translocated chromosome constituting one of the three translocations known to differentiate the chromosome complements of S. cereale and S. montanum.

Purpose To evaluate the relationship of symptoms of dry eye with closed chamber infrared thermometry and humidity measurements. Methods The authors studied 54 patients (108 eyes) with dry eye disorders of different grades of clinical severity (mean age 35.75±14.37 years), 31 cases (62 eyes) with normal eyes (mean age 33.68±14.42 years), and 10 cases (20 eyes) with epidemic conjunctivitis (mean age 33.68±14.42 years). The symptoms and the clinical tests (Schirmer-1 test, fluorescein tear break up time, Lissamine green stain; closed chamber infrared thermometry and humidity) were used to establish the diagnosis of dry eyes. The closed chamber humidity difference was used to classify the groups of dry eye. Results The authors noted no temperature difference from closed to open eye position in dry eyes as compared to 0.10±0.00 °C difference in normal eyes and epidemic conjunctivitis. Four groups of cases were identified by difference in values of humidity: Group 1 = <0.9 relative humidity (RH)% to 1 RH%; Group 2 = >1 RH% to 1.5 RH%; Group 3 = >1.5 RH% to 2 RH %; and Group 4 = >2 RH%. The symptomatology was measured in the eyes using Oxford scale (0–4) and correlated with the humidity groups. The grading of symptoms with the humidity showed a statistically significant relationship (p<0.0001) in each group. The severity of the symptoms showed an increase in frequency and severity from Group 1 to Group 4, which was statistically significant (p<0.0001). The mean sum total of global symptomatology score was statistically significant (p<0.0001): 3.43±0.31 in Group 1, 4.65±0.42 in Group 2, 8.56±0.78 in Group 3, and 13.35±1.21 in Group 4. However, total symptomatology score in epidemic conjunctivitis did not show a statistically significant value (p=0.20). Conclusions The closed chamber humidity and thermometry measurements showed statistical correlation in all four groups of dry eyes to total mean symptomatology score (p<0.001) and showed an increase in value with increasing severity of symptoms. However, all individual symptoms fail to show any conclusive relationship.

The aim of the research is increasing the productive indicators of replacement sheep of different genotypes by im-proving the interior indicators. To conduct the research, three groups of ewe hoggs with 20 heads each were formed: 1 group – ewe hoggs born from stud rams and Akzhaik ewes (AKSHM x AKSHM); 2 group – ewe hoggs born from stud rams of the North Caucasian breed and Akzhaik ewes (SK x AKSHM); 3 group – ewe hoggs born from Kuibyshev stud ram breed and Akzhaik ewes (KB x AKSHM). Blood parameters, live weight at the age of 4 and 8 months, hair cut at the age of 8 months was studied of animals of these groups. It was found that blood parame-ters of the ewe hoggs of different genotypes have significant differences and these affect the indicators of growth intensity and hair cutting. The content of red blood cells and hemoglobin of ewe hoggs from group 3 was higher by 0.551012/l and 9.32 g/l, respectively, than of ones from group 1. The biochemical blood parameters of crossbred ewe hoggs from groups 3 and 2 at 4 and 8 months of age in terms of total protein by 2.84 and 4.73 g/l, glucose – by 0.86 and 1.02 mmol/l exceeded the results of purebred Akzhaik ewe hoggs. Crossbreds of groups 2 and 3 in the 8-month age were superior to their herdmates of Akzhaik breed in live weight by 3.04 and 2.74 kg, and the washed wool cut – by 0.18 and 0.24 kg, respectively.

Abstract Background The Pneumonia Panel (PP) (BioFire Diagnostics, Salt Lake City, UT) detects 15 potentially pathogenic bacteria semiquantitatively (copy #/mL), 8 viruses and 7 resistance genes from the lower respiratory tract in ≈1 hour in the laboratory. Since identification and susceptibility take ≈ 2 days, this rapid result time is very attractive; however, the clinical significance of the PP copy #/mL as well as a predictable group of PP positive but culture negative patients is unknown. We retrospectively studied the relationship of 270 PP results to culture results, clinical data and outcomes. Methods Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (N = 197) and endotracheal aspirates (N = 73) submitted to the UF Health Shands Hospital microbiology laboratory from June-September 2018 were frozen at −70°C, until tested on the PP. Patient data were extracted from the inpatient electronic medical record (Epic). Results Of 270 patients tested, 111/270 (41.1%) were PP bacteria negative/culture no growth or normal flora (Group 1), 59/270 (21.9%) were PP positive/culture negative (Group 2), and 100/270 (37.0%) were PP positive/culture positive (Group 3) for at least 1 concordant bacterial potential pathogen. Hospital length of stay (LOS), P = 0.0274, ANOVA; ICU LOS P = 0.0007 and BAL % Polys P < 0.0001 were significantly longer/higher in Group 3 than in Groups 1 and 2 (Table 1). Max daily temp on the day of culture in PP-positive groups 2 and 3 was significantly higher than the PP-negative group 1, P = 0.0260, ANOVA, (Table 1). Age, daily WBC, lowest paO2, max FiO2, % on antibiotics ( ≥80% for all groups), and % with viruses in the PP were not significantly different across groups. When all PP pathogens were grouped by copy # /mL, ICU LOS was significantly longer for 10(7) copies/mL (P = 0.0088), as was BAL % polys (P = 0.0006). Max daily temp was almost significantly higher for PP-positive groups 10(5), 10(6), and 10(7) combined compared with the PP-negative group (Table 2, P = 0.0608). Conclusion Hospital LOS was significantly longer and BAL %Polys higher in the bacterial pathogen culture-positive/PP-positive group vs. not positive groups. ICU LOS and BAL %Polys were significantly higher for the PP-positive groups vs. PP negative regardless of culture results. PP results (copy #/mL) independently correlated with outcome and clinical measures. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

Представлен анализ показателей молочной продуктивности и воспроизводительных качеств чистопородных и высококровных голштинизированных коров ярославской породы в условиях одного из племенных заводов Ярославской области. В качестве объекта исследований были отобраны чистопородные и помесные полновозрастные коровы, имеющие три законченные лактации. Животные были разделены на три группы: 1 группа – чистопородные ярославские коровы; 2 группа – с кровностью 75% (3/4 по голштину) и 3 группа – 76% и более (средняя 83,0%). Наибольший надой по третьей лактации наблюдался у группы коров с кровностью 76% и более, различие с чистопородными коровами составило 1081,95 кг (Р ≥ 0,999). Самое высокое содержание жира имеют чистопородные ярославские коровы – 4,78%. Большая продолжительность сервис-периода отмечается у коров с кровностью 75% по голштинской породе и составляет 117,2 дня. Эта группа несколько уступает по индексу плодовитости чистопородным коровам и коровам с кровностью 76% и более. Исследования показали, что ярославские чистопородные и высококровные голштинизированные коровы имеют хорошие воспроизводительные качества. An analysis of milk producing ability indicators and reproductive qualities of purebred and high half-bred Holsteinized cows of the Yaroslavl breed in the conditions of one of the breeding plants of the Yaroslavl region is presented. Purebred and mixed bred mature cowbanes with three completed lactations were selected as the subject of research. Animals were divided into three groups: group 1 – the purebred Yaroslavl cows; group 2 – with a blood relationship of 75% (3/4 by Holstein) and group 3 - 76% or more (average 83.0%). The largest yield for the third lactation was observed in a group of cows with a blood relationship of 76% or more, the difference with purebred cows was 1081.95 kg (P ≥ 0.999). Purebred Yaroslavl cows have the highest fat content – 4.78%. The long service period is observed in cows with a blood relationship of 75% for the Holstein breed and is 117.2 days. This group is somewhat inferior in birth rate index to purebred cows and cows with a blood relationship of 76% or more. The researches have shown that the Yaroslavl purebred and high half-bred Holsteinized cows have good reproductive qualities.

Summary. Background: Prosthetic vascular graft infection (PVGI) is a complication with high mortality. Cyanoacrylate (CA) is an adhesive which has been used in a number of surgical procedures. In this in-vivo study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between PVGI and CA. Materials and methods: Thirty-two rats were equally divided into four groups. Pouch was formed on back of rats until deep fascia. In group 1, vascular graft with polyethyleneterephthalate (PET) was placed into pouch. In group 2, MRSA strain with a density of 1 ml 0.5 MacFarland was injected into pouch. In group 3, 1 cm 2 vascular graft with PET piece was placed into pouch and MRSA strain with a density of 1 ml 0.5 MacFarland was injected. In group 4, 1 cm 2 vascular graft with PET piece impregnated with N-butyl cyanoacrylate-based adhesive was placed and MRSA strain with a density of 1 ml 0.5 MacFarland was injected. All rats were scarified in 96th hour, culture samples were taken where intervention was performed and were evaluated microbiologically. Bacteria reproducing in each group were numerically evaluated based on colony-forming unit (CFU/ml) and compared by taking their average. Results: MRSA reproduction of 0 CFU/ml in group 1, of 1410 CFU/ml in group 2, of 180 200 CFU/ml in group 3 and of 625 300 CFU/ml in group 4 was present. A statistically significant difference was present between group 1 and group 4 (p < 0.01), between group 2 and group 4 (p < 0.01), between group 3 and group 4 (p < 0.05). In terms of reproduction, no statistically significant difference was found in group 1, group 2, group 3 in themselves. Conclusions: We observed that the rate of infection increased in the cyanoacyrylate group where cyanoacrylate was used. We think that surgeon should be more careful in using CA in vascular surgery.

SummaryWe have previously shown abnormalities of haemostasis suggestive of intravascular coagulation in patients with malignant hypertension, a condition associated with retinopathy and renal fibrin deposition. To determine whether such abnormalities are specific to malignant hypertension, we have measured several haemostatic and haemorheological variables in 18 patients with malignant hypertension (Group 1), 18 matched healthy controls (Group 2), and 18 patients with non-malignant hypertension (Group 3) matched for renal pathology, blood pressure and serum creatinine with Group 1. Both Groups 1 and 3 had increased mean levels of fibrinogen, factor VIIIc, beta-thrombo- globulin, plasma viscosity and blood viscosity (corrected for haematocrit); and decreased mean levels of haematocrit, antithrombin III and platelet count. Mean levels of fast antiplasmin and alpha2-macroglobulin were elevated in Group 1 but not in Group 3. We conclude that most blood abnormalities are not specific to malignant hypertension; are also present in patients with non-malignant hypertension who have similar levels of blood pressure and renal damage; and might result from renal damage as well as promoting further renal damage by enhancing fibrin deposition. However increased levels of fibrinolytic inhibitors in malignant hypertension merit further investigation in relation to removal of renal fibrin.

Le changement des habitudes alimentaires au cours de ces dernières années a abouti à l’apparition des maladies dites de civilisation, parmi elles le diabète sucré. Des approches diétothérapeutiques privilégient la consommation des produits céréaliers sous la forme la plus complète possible. Ce travail a pour but de tester l’efficacité des régimes expérimentaux préparés à base des grains complets des deux céréales, le sorgho (Sorghum bicolor L.) et le seigle (Secale cereale L.), sur la correction de l’hyperglycémie et des marqueurs du stress oxydant associés au diabète chez le rat mâle Wistar. Les résultats montrent que les rats diabétiques, soumis au régime seigle pendant quatre semaines, présentent une diminution significative de la glycémie qui atteint les 53,95 % à la fin de l’expérimentation, ce qui fait que leur taux en glycémie se rapproche de celui des normoglycémiques. Le sorgho blanc présente, d’une part, une diminution significative de la peroxydation lipidique intracellulaire et, d’autre part, une augmentation de l’activité de la glutathion peroxydase, la glutathion réductase ainsi que la vitamine C. Ces approches méthodologiques peuvent, en améliorant la connaissance de l’importance des céréales (fibres alimentaires solubles et des polyphénols) dans l’évolution du diabète, aboutir à des recommandations et à une éducation nutritionnelle du diabétique.

The purpose of the study was to conduct a comparative assessment of the course of the postoperative period after phlebectomy and thermal ablation in patients with varicose veins of the lower extremities in the system of the great saphenous vein (GSV) with class C2 of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) — CEAP class C2. Materials and methods: 455 patients (455 limbs) with CEAP class C2. Group 1 (n = 154) received stripping + minimally invasive phlebectomy; Group 2 — endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) of GSV trunk + sclerotherapy of varicose veins; 3 group (n = 150) — radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the GSV + sclerotherapy. All patients were united by a single tactical solution — the elimination of pathological vertical reflux in GSV. In each group, patients were with similar hemodynamic profile were selected (Group 1 = 63; Group 2 = 61; Group 3 = 61). The course of the postoperative period (from 2 days to 2 months) was compared for pain (visual analog scale — VAS), clinical symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency, degree of satisfaction (Darvall questionnaire), and duration of disability. Statistical processing was carried out using Excel programs for Windows XP, MedCalc® (version 11.4.2.0., Mariakerke, Belgium). Results: Postoperative pain is more pronounced (during day 1 for Group 1–4.0, Group 2–3.0, Group 3–2.0) and more prolonged (up to 4 days) after open surgeries (p < 0.05). The dynamics of the clinical symptoms of CVI (including varicose syndrome and use of compression therapy) could not be fully evaluated in connection with the ongoing sclerotherapy procedures for patients of Groups 2 and 3. Satisfaction of patients with aesthetic aspects was higher than expected in all groups. Reliable statistical differences proved decrease in days of disability (Group 1–14; Group 2–4; Group 3–3) and earlier return to physical activities and work in patients after thermal ablation in comparison with phlebectomy. Conclusion: The study shows that all three methods for eliminating vertical reflux in the GSV can be proposed for a large category of patients with CEAP of class C3 and C2. Medical and social rehabilitation of patients using endovascular thermal ablation technologies proceeds faster, which is beneficial both for the patients and for society.
