Selenium as an essential trace element takes part in the regulation of many vital processes. This is realized with the help of over 25 selenoproteins that affect oxidative stress, immune response, hormonal metabolism, cognitive function, etc. Recently (in the next 30 - 40 years), there have been reports of the effect on viral infections, which have now become widespread. It turned out that almost all RNA viruses are selenium-dependent objects, that is, their genome contains the codes of the most important selenium containing proteins, including such as glutathione peroxidase, thioredoxinreductase, selenium-P protein, etc. Their synthesis during the development of a viral infection at the expense of the host leads to a weakening of the synthesis of the body's own intracellular selenium proteins, which contributes to the development of oxidative stress and a failure of the immune response. And this leads to the devastation of the selenium depot of the body, intended for the synthesis of its selenium proteins, which participate in vital regulatory processes. This circumstance determines, to replenish the body's resources with selenium, the expediency of using selenium-containing pharmacopoeia preparations as adjuvant in the treatment of RNA viral infections.","PeriodicalId":23176,"journal":{"name":"Trace elements in medicine","volume":"47 1","pages":"21-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75817354","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}

The results of Mössbauer measurements of the drug “Ferretab”, which is widely used in medicine for the treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anemia, are presented. This drug contains fumarate iron, C4H2FeO4, and has a small amount of folic acid. In this paper, the temperature dependence of isomer shift and quadrupole splitting values of 57Fe nuclei in iron fumarate were studied. The measurements show that when the temperature increases, the isomer shift and quadrupole splitting of 57Fe nuclei in iron fumarate decreases, the decrease in the isomer shift value is associated with the second-order Doppler effect. Based on Mössbauer measurements, the Debye temperature of this drug was determined. The Debye temperature gives us information about the strong bonding of 57Fe atoms with the environment. A high temperature value means a strong bond and vice versa, a small temperature value means a bond with low rigidity. The coupling constant (Debye temperature) defined for “Ferretab” iron nuclei has been compared with different Debye temperatures found in previous studies on some iron deficiency anemia drugs. Additionally, the values were compared with various clinical studies conducted in in-vivo and in-vitro for comparison of the efficacy of some of the most commonly used drugs to treat and prevent iron deficiency anemia. According to these comparisons, it was established a possible relationship between the Debye temperature of the iron atoms of the drugs under study and their effectiveness. It was noted that the lower the Debye temperature of iron atoms of the drug, the more iron absorbs the human body.","PeriodicalId":23176,"journal":{"name":"Trace elements in medicine","volume":"39 1","pages":"43-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73237613","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}

This is related to developed industry in these regions. The analysis of the habitants' hair also indicated increased values, which are caused by environmental contamination and working conditions. For generalized assessment of environmental condition it was suggested to use the logarithm of multiplication of the lithophylic elements (Ba, Ca, K, La, Na, Rb, Sc, Sr) content, characterizing the geochemical condition. And similarly, the logarithm of multiplication of potential pollutants, typical for this area, such as Br, Co, Cr, Sb, U, Zn content in soil, water and hair was used as conditional index of overall pollution. It was demonstrated, that fluctuations of lithophylic elements content logarithm value throughout the districts of the region are insignificant and fall within range of 3941, while logarithm values for the potential pollutants vary from 3.1 to 9.3. The distribution of a hypothetical integral pollutant is presented in the cartogram.
