Culture of mesenchymal stem cells isolated from the bone marrow of primates by their characteristics met the requirements of stem cells. It was shown that transplantation of allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells (2 million cells per 1 kg body weight) immediately after ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery between the middle and upper thirds led to neovascularization and capillarization of the ischemic myocardium.
TRANSCRANIAL ELECTROTHERAPY STIMULATION MODULATES STRESS-INDUCED C-FOS EXPRESSION IN PERIPHERAL BLOOD MONONUCLEAR CELLS IN RATS WITH DIFFERENT RESISTANCE TO STRESSis a recognized and unique peripheral biomarker of stress, stress-associated and psychiatric disorders. In our article, we studied the possibility of correction of transcranial electrotherapy stimulation (TES-therapy) of stress-induced c-fos expression in PBMC of rats with high or low resistance to stress, predicted from differences in their modified forced swim test results. As a model of combined stress, a modified forced swim test and orthostatic stress were used. The expression of the c-fos gene in PBMC was carried out by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Relative c-fos expression in low resistance control group (Me=0,03) was statistically significantly less than that in high resistance control group (Me=1,3). TES-therapy was accompanied by a statistically significant increase in relative c-fos expression (Me=1) in low resistance treatment group. In high resistance treatment group TES-therapy, on the contrary, was accompanied by a decrease in relative c-fos expression (Me=0,15). These effects reflect the systemic stress limiting action of TES-therapy, which has a pronounced homeostatic character.
The outbreak in Adler colony slightly differed from similar outbreak in Florida in 2014 by more marked hemorrhagic diathesis and articular changes in some monkeys caused by polyavitaminosis developed in the course of infection. Sensitive to infection were M. mulatta, M. fascicularis, Cercopithecus aethiops, P. hamadryas and anubis, and Cebus capucinus.
Telomeres are complex nucleoprotein structures with specific proteins of noncoding terminal regions of linear chromosomes of eukaryotic cells. Telomere DNA consists of a large number of short sequence repeats (TTAGGG in vertebrates). Telomeres protect chromosomes from their fusion and degradation, limit the proliferative potential of the cell, participate in the segregation of chromosomes during cell division, etc. Reduction of telomeres length is an important factor with significant impact on cell viability and function, aging, and leads to the development of various diseases including cancer. Alcohol abuse has a significant impact on a person's health. Ethanol consumption by a human may affect the length of chromosome telomeres on the cellular level. Current review presents an analysis of clinical and epidemiological studies on the effect of alcohol consumption on telomere length. Methods for telomere length determination and their applicability for clinical use with impact on research results are discussed. An association of alcohol consumption with shortening of telomeres has been shown in some studies with certain populations, including individuals with alcohol abuse, alcohol dependence and some genetic variants of alcohol metabolism enzymes but not in the general population. The analysis of reviewed studies allows to conclude that they are ambiguous and that there is further need to study the effect of alcohol on telomere length using modern methods of it determination.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
