Complexity of immunobiology of tumor necrosis factor and novel anti-TNF therapy by S. А. Nedospasov

“…Systemic anti-cytokine therapy is known to be accompanied by undesirable side effects, which can hypothetically be explained by the neutralization of these protective functions. Thus, we developed prototypes of TNF blockers which limit the bioavailability of this cytokine only from its main “pathogenic” source – myeloid cells. …”

Features of Visual Dysfunctions in Patients with Primary Hypothyroidism and Thyrotoxicosis by V. G. Likhvantseva, V. N. Trubilin, E. V. Korosteleva, S. G. Kapkova, V. A. Vygodin

“…The pattern of photosensitivity disorders, the topography of the location of the loci of local defects revealed by the short-wave infrared perimetry, indicate that the earliest signs of optical neuropathy are manifested at the level of photoreceptors — selectively in the S-cones. Decreased sensitivity to blue stimulus (440 nm) refers to an acquired color anomaly called tritanopia; which can be present with high visual function, is most often associated with a decrease in the number of S-cones and a deficiency of retinol (the source of cyanolab synthesis).…”

Methods for Adaptive Transformation of Content in Hypertext Format on Corporate TV and Information Kiosks of Educational Institutions by D. S. Filippov

“…In system engineering, the main emphasis (and, as a result, the key task) is on the absence of duplication of content for different types of output screens (including interactive touchscreen kiosks), which is especially important because the implemented system will be built on free, open-source technologies and integrated into the current university website, which no other proprietary Digital Signage software system can offer.Materials and methods: the study uses different methods of transformation and output of content, but adaptation methods based on cascading style sheets (CSS) are mainly used. …”
