    Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health problem. Here, we developed a novel model of non-invasive TBI induced by laser irradiation in the telencephalon of adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) and assessed their behavior and neuromorphology to validate the model and evaluate potential targets for neuroreparative treatment. Overall, TBI induced hypolocomotion and anxiety-like behavior in the novel tank test, strikingly recapitulating responses in mammalian TBI models, hence supporting the face validity of our model. NeuN-positive cell staining was markedly reduced one day, but not seven days, after TBI, suggesting increased neuronal damage immediately after the injury, and its fast recovery. The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf) level in the brain dropped immediately after the trauma, but fully recovered seven days later. A marker of microglial activation, Iba1, was elevated in the TBI brain, albeit decreasing from Day 3. The levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (Hif1a) increased 30 min after the injury, and recovered by Day 7, further supporting the construct validity of the model. Collectively, these findings suggest that our model of laser-induced brain injury in zebrafish reproduces mild TBI and can be a useful tool for TBI research and preclinical neuroprotective drug screening.

    Abstract: The plasticity of the main homeostatic systems immune and neuroendocrine allows the body to resist the actions of adverse factors, but, nevertheless, the latter can cause pathological changes or lead to a limitation in the function of these systems. The paper presents data demonstrating the long-term effects of the immune cells with different functional phenotypes transplantation performed during early postnatal ontogenesis on the syngeneic recipients endocrine system functional activity, assessed by the neuroactive steroid hormones level in the CNS and in blood serum. The relevance of this study is due to the active development of cellular technologies and their successful use in the treatment of many nosological forms of immunological, oncological and hematological diseases, which has significantly improved the survival rate and quality of patient’s life; however the mechanisms of the transplanted cells effect on the body as a whole remain insufficiently studied, especially in childhood, when the formation of regulatory connections of the main homeostatic systems of the body that maintain dynamic homeostasis is taking place, and it is difficult to predict the long-term effect of therapy, because, even with a directed effect on one of them, influence is exerted on the interconnected functioning of all these systems. Previously, we have shown that immune cells with different functional activities, which is characteristic of individuals with an active or passive type of behavior, after transplantation performed at different stages of ontogenesis, in a cytokine-mediated manner affect the change/formation of a certain neuroimmune status in syngeneic recipients, including the behavioral phenotype. The presented study shows that after a threefold administration of immune cells in the juvenile period, a certain hormonal status is formed in syngeneic recipients by puberty: in all recipients, after cell transplantation, the level of corticosterone in the brain and its separate structures, as well as in the peripheral blood serum, was relatively higher than that in animals raised without adoptive cell transfer; at the same time, there was a pronounced tendency to increase the level of testosterone in the blood serum, and different levels of testosterone were recorded in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, striatum, and frontal cortex. Distinctive features of the central and peripheral levels of corticosterone and testosterone in recipients after multiple transplantation of splenocytes in the late period of maturity are determined by the different functional phenotype of the injected immune cells.

    Abstract: The aim of this work was to study a dependence between the production level of some pro-inflammatory cytokines by peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and activation of human endogenous retrovirus HERV-E 4-1 in the patients with recurrent depression. Patients and methods: the study included 30 patients with an verified diagnosis of recurrent depression (F 33.0) aged 26-45 years, with a disease duration of at least 3 months prior to inclusion into the study. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated by centrifugation in Ficoll density gradient (1.078 g/cm3). The human endogenous retrovirus HERV-E 4-1 env gene expression was determined by polymerase chain reaction using paired oligonucleotide primers. To assess the cytokine production, peripheral blood mononuclear cells were cultured for 24-72 hours, depending on the experimental conditions. Quantitative determination of spontaneous cytokine production was carried out by a sandwich variant of ELISA method in conditioned media from the cell cultures, according to the manufacturer instructions. Results: our data reveal higher production of IL-1 and IFN in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from those patients with recurrent depression who showed detectable HERV-E 4-1 env expression compared to the patients in whom the HERV-E 4-1 env gene expression was not detected. When studying correlation between HERV-E 4-1 env expression and production of IL-1 and IFN, a positive correlation between the studied parameters was established. Thus, taking into account our earlier data on HERV-E 4-1 immunomodulatory properties, as well as literature data concerning the HERV transcripts found in brains of mentally ill patients, along with increase of IL-1 and IFN production in the patients with recurrent depression and positive HERV-E 4-1 env gene expression, and a positive correlation between the HERV-E 4-1 env gene expression and increased level of cytokines involved in formation of pathological events in the nervous system in the patients with depression, one may conclude that activation of HERV-E 4-1 could participate in immunopathogenesis of recurrent depression by stimulating the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

    Abstract: The lack of suitable autologous grafts and the impossibility of using synthetic prostheses for small artery reconstruction make it necessary to develop alternative efficient vascular grafts. In this study, we fabricated an electrospun biodegradable poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) prosthesis and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PHBV/PCL) prosthesis loaded with iloprost (a prostacyclin analog) as an antithrombotic drug and cationic amphiphile with antibacterial activity. The prostheses were characterized in terms of their drug release, mechanical properties, and hemocompatibility. We then compared the long-term patency and remodeling features of PCL and PHBV/PCL prostheses in a sheep carotid artery interposition model. The research findings verified that the drug coating of both types of prostheses improved their hemocompatibility and tensile strength. The 6-month primary patency of the PCL/Ilo/A prostheses was 50%, while all PHBV/PCL/Ilo/A implants were occluded at the same time point. The PCL/Ilo/A prostheses were completely endothelialized, in contrast to the PHBV/PCL/Ilo/A conduits, which had no endothelial cells on the inner layer. The polymeric material of both prostheses degraded and was replaced with neotissue containing smooth-muscle cells; macrophages; proteins of the extracellular matrix such as type I, III, and IV collagens; and vasa vasorum. Thus, the biodegradable PCL/Ilo/A prostheses demonstrate better regenerative potential than PHBV/PCL-based implants and are more suitable for clinical use.

    Abstract: This paper analyses the academic literature on the role of enterprises in addressing sociocultural risks at the regional level in contemporary Russia. The studied literature was collected using two sources: the database of the Institute of Sociology of the Russian Academy of Science and the Russian Scientific Electronic Library “eLIBRARY.RU”. The search time¬scale covered the period between 2000 and 2019. Two questions informed the literature search and analysis: 1) What sociocultural risks are identified in the literature? 2) What is the role of enterprises in addressing these risks? The results show that the academic literature distinguishes between two categories of sociocultural risks. Firstly, the risks causing the dysfunction of socio-economic and political structures. Secondly, the risks related to the deterioration of moral values, cultural traditions and social identities at individual, community, and national levels. The role of enterprises in addressing these risks is revealed in two areas. Firstly, these are the corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices: provision of social benefits to employees, supporting vulnerable groups in local communities, investing in educational and sport activities and events. Secondly, some enterprises introduce innovative instruments, such as sociocultural projects. However, most studies of such projects refer to either small or non-industrial enterprises. Further analysis should focus on the implementation of sociocultural projects by the industrial enterprises at the regional level in Russia, since there is a lack of empirical studies in this area.

    Abstract: Nursing degree courses in Bulgaria provide a wide range of career opportunities to graduates. These opportunities, however, do not solve the current problems of the healthcare system. This communication presents the results of a survey conducted among graduate students majoring in the nursing specialty at the Medical University in Pleven. The survey aimed to acquire information on the graduates’ willingness to practice in nurseries. A questionnaire containing 26 questions specially designed for the study was used. The data were processed with statistical software packages Statgraphics; SPSS v. 19 and Excel for Windows. Despite the sound theoretical and practical course of training, 13 (21.67%) of the students were embarrassed, and 13 said they had been cautious when they first entered a crèches during their training. Almost half of the respondents – 29 (48.33%) reported that they might work in a crèches only if it is necessary, and 16 (26.66%) – never. Only 9 (15.00%) declared they would be committed to caring for children aged one to three years. At the end of their training, student nurses did not feel sufficiently prepared for the psychological and pedagogical challenges to practice their profession in such child day care centers. The respondents had no clear idea of the role of the nurse in a crèches. Very few of the student nurses reported a willingness to work in a crèches.
