The physicochemical properties and structure of the bone matrix are studied in a case of simulated tuberculous osteitis without treatment and after a full course of specific antibacterial therapy. Using X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and scanning electron microscopy, we revealed that tuberculous osteitis causes fine disintegration of the bone matrix due to an increase in nonstoichiometric hydroxyapatite, formation of amorphous calcium phosphates, and a decrease of the organic phase, which is accompanied by embrittlement of the bone matrix. Excessive growth of carbonate-hydroxyapatite crystals of a mixed AB substitution type leads to excessive osteogenesis, accompanied by the uncontrolled growth of bone trabeculae. The presence of “liming” regions in the crystal lattice of hydroxyapatite increases the “binding” properties of the bone matrix in which mycobacteria are immobilized and removed in the composition of detritus.
Представлен расчет нейтронных потоков ультрахолодных (УХН), очень холодных и холодных нейтронов на выходах нейтроноводов источника УХН со сверхтекучим гелием на реакторе ВВР-М. В результате оптимизации параметров источника получена плотность УХН в ловушке спектрометра электрического дипольного момента (ЭДМ) ρ 35 l = 1.3 • 10 4 n/cm 3. Полученная плотность УХН в ЭДМ-спектрометре на 2 порядка величины превышает плотность УХН на выходе существующих источников УХН. Плотность
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.
