Our data indicated that ZnO nanostructures induced a decrease in the lymphocyte viability and an increase in the intracellular labile Zn 2+ pool in a concentration-dependent manner after 20 and 40 h incubation with cells. It was found that ZnO NRs have the lowest cytotoxicity, but ZnCl 2 - the highest. The Zn-mediated activation of free radical processes - ROS accumulation in the cells -is a possible mechanism of the cytotoxic action of these agents. Thus, the shape of ZnO nanomaterial and its ability “to shed” zinc ions make the main contribution to the detected molecular and membrane process on human lymphocytes in vitro .","PeriodicalId":11283,"journal":{"name":"Doklady of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87789413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These approaches are based on the use of new integral relations forming infinite sequences. It is shown that the most exact variant of solving the Stefan problem with a convective boundary condition is to refuse from the classical Stefan condition at the free boundary and to replace it with its integral relation. By the example of solving the test Stefan problem with a Robin boundary condition, having an exact analytical solution, it is shown that the proposed approach is much more exact and efficient compared to the known variants of the integral computational scheme, including the heat-balance integral method allowing the Stefan condition at the free boundary to be satisfied. The solutions obtained with the use of the square-law and cubic polynomials are presented. As for the test problem using the cubic polynomial, the relative error in determining the free boundary comprises hundredths and thousandths of percent. In this case, at the time instant t = 1, the relative error in determining the temperature profile is e T = 0.075 %.","PeriodicalId":11283,"journal":{"name":"Doklady of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79618021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A silicon nitride film with a thickness of ~200 nm with an inhomogeneous element depth distribution was deposited by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition. Based on the Rutherford backscattering data, it was shown that the concentration of excess silicon atoms in the SiNx film increases from 9 to 44 % when approaching the Si substrate. The analysis of the current-voltage characteristics of ITO/SiNx/Si structures revealed that the conduction mechanism in the high-resistance state is determined by the nitride film properties and is described by the Poole–Frenkel model taking into account the hopping model of electron transport between traps. Switching to the low-resistance state is probably caused by the migration of indium or tin ions from the ITO contact to the SiNx layer. The conduction of the ITO/SiNx/Si structure in the low-resistance state is determined by both the mechanisms of charge-carrier injection from the contact and charge-carrier transport through the dielectric layer. Reverse polarity results in destructing the conductive channel and switching the structure to the high-resistance state. The photo-switching effect was found for the ITO/SiNx/Si structure, which opens up new possibilities of using memristors in silicon optoelectronic systems.","PeriodicalId":11283,"journal":{"name":"Doklady of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84233545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was established that the service life of newly designed workings depends on their location on the panel, the roof binding and fastening parameters. The longest service life of workings will be noted when they are located in the mined space above the mined longwalls along the lower layers, and the shortest service life will be marked when they are carried out in the central part of the safety intercolumn pillars. Based on the studies performed, the recommendations were made on the selection of locations, roof bindings and on the protection and maintenance of development workings for the sites of the mine fields of the JSC “Belaruskali” mines extracting the worked out fourth sylvinite layer at depths over 600 m. The developed recommendations are aimed at improving the work safety and efficiency when extracting abandoned mineral reserves.

Given the high medical and social significance of the problem of treating patients with coronary heart disease and acute myocardial infarction, the search for new effective methods to prevent or weaken ischemic myocardial damage and mechanisms for their implementation is an urgent task of modern experimental and clinical medicine. The aim of the study was to determine the significance of hyperlactatemia in the realization of the infarct-limiting effect of remote ischemic postconditioning (RIPostC) in rat myocardial ischemia-reperfusion in the experiment. The study revealed that after 15-minute RIPostC, which was performed 10 minutes after 30-minute acute myocardial ischemia followed by 120-minute reperfusion, the plasma lactate level in rats increased 1.87 times (87.7 %, p < 0.05) compared with intact animals. It was established that the introduction of L-lactate into the left common jugular vein at a dose of 10 μg/kg, which was carried out 25 minutes after the onset of reperfusion under the conditions of myocardial ischemia (30 minutes) and next reperfusion (120 minutes) and RIPostC (10 minutes after the onset of reperfusion), which was reproduced by ischemia of these limbs, have a heart attack-limiting effect.
