In this paper the comparison of complex formation between molecules of therapeutic AEDG tetrapeptide and novel K2R peptide dendrimer or DG2 dendrigraft of near the same size and charge was fulfilled. The systems consisting of 16 therapeutic AEDG tetrapeptide molecules and one dendrimer or one dendrigraft were studied by molecular dynamics simulation. Full atomic models of these molecules in water with explicit counterions were used for this goal. First of all, the process of complex formation was studied. It was obtained that peptide molecules were attracted by both branched molecules and were quickly adsorbed by them. Times of complexes formation as well as size, anisotropy and structure of each complex were calculated. It was demonstrated that both K2R dendrimer and DG2 dendrigraft are effective for complexation of these peptide molecules but new dendrimer complex is more stable than dendrigraft complex because it has almost twice more hydrogen bonds with peptide molecules and 33% more ion pairs with their charged groups.","PeriodicalId":53488,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biology and Biomedical Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42207711","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}

In the presented study, the main hematological and biochemical parameters of blood and mineral metabolism were determined in 2 groups of chickens of the Moscow black breed: imported to the Astrakhan Region from Moscow and kept in the Moscow Region. The analyses revealed strong differences (P<0.01) in indicators of two groups. The acclimatized birds were characterized by low levels of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the blood, as well as a higher content of white blood cells than in the second group. The chickens had impaired lipid and protein metabolism. A 71.3% increase in the level of total sugar most likely indicated a stress state of birds. Compared with the chickens in the Moscow Region, the level of calcium in their blood was 32.4% lower, phosphorus – 12.9%. To a large extent, a decrease in the levels of iodine and selenium – by 5.3 and 5.2 times, respectively, was observed. Thus, in the absence of external changes, acclimatized chickens are subject to a latent form of combined I- and Se-hypomicroelementosis. At the same time, a drop in egg productivity by 19% is the recorded fact. The necessity to adapt to the new climatic conditions of the Lower Volga region for birds, combined with a lack of important trace elements, can cause increased oxidative stress in acclimatized birds. Based on the results of the study, the use of feed additives that make up for the deficiency of necessary trace elements is recommended.","PeriodicalId":53488,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Biology and Biomedical Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42320389","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 device is integrated with an accelerometer to measure the degree of stimulated movement. The system is validated, firstly, on two passive electrical loads and subsequently on four healthy volunteers. The device is designed to deliver currents between 0-30mA, and the error between the measured current and simulated current for two loads were -0.967±0.676mA and -0.995±0.97mA. The angular data from the accelerometer provided information regarding variations in movement between the subjects.

Today, there are a huge number of different databases that distribute open microRNAs into groups. The problem is that there is no way to evaluate such databases and created clusters. In this work, we propose a new method for assessing the distribution of microRNAs in a cluster, which in the future can be used to predict new sequential ones capable of causing disease. The proposed method can also be used for a better understanding of the mechanisms of various diseases. Since cardiovascular diseases rank first in terms of the number of deaths, they were chosen as the analyzed ones. The Human microRNA Disease Database was used as an analyzed database in this work.

One such is Jaw bone cyst, which, if not identified earlier, may lead to complications which in turn may lead to disfigurement and loss of function. Hence processing of radiographic images plays a vital role in identifying and locating the cystic region and extracting related features to assist clinical experts in further analysis. Objective: To develop an application of active contour model, known as Geodesic Active Contour, to generate Panoramic Dental X-Ray, a single 2 D X-ray image of the entire mouth highlighting the dental specifications. Methods: The process involves the image conversion from the OPG image into grayscale, Contrast adjustment using intensity level slicing, edge smoothing, segmentation, and cyst segmentation by Morphological Geodesic Active Contour to obtain the results. Hence processing of radiographic images plays a vital role in identifying and locating the cystic region. It is crucial in extracting related features to assist clinical experts in further analysis. Conclusion: When efficient and accurate diagnostic methods exist, the treatment and cure become easy and concrete. Based on the morphological snake and level sets, it aims at identifying the boundary by minimizing the energy. Results: Using the structural similarity index, an accuracy of 97.6% is obtained. Advances in Knowledge: This process is advantageous as it is simpler, faster, and does not suffer from instability problems. Morphological methods improve their functional gradient descent by improving stability and speed.
