HBV kapsīdu savākšanās inhibīcija ar mazmolekulāriem savienojumiem
2016
Hepatīta B vīrusa (HBV) infekcija hroniskā formā ir viena no bīstamākajām mūsdienu saslimšanām, tāpēc aktīvi tiek meklētas iedarbīgas zāles infekcijas ārstēšanai. Ar mērķi atrast efektīvu un netoksisku HBV nukleokapsīdu inhibitoru, ir veikta plaši pētīta Bay-41-4109 inhibitora un tā analogu pārbaude zīdītāju šūnās. Šajā darbā HBV kapsīdas proteīna (HBc) sintēze BHK-21 šūnās nodrošināta, izmantojot rekombinantu alfavīrusa replikonu. Ir pārbaudīta Bay-41-4109 un tā analogu citotoksicitāte šūnās. Izmantojot natīvās agarozes un SDS-PAA gēla elektroforēzes un imunoblota metodes tika salīdzināta inhibitoru ietekme uz HBc proteīna ekspresiju un nukleokapsīdu veidošanos šūnās. Atrasts, ka viens no …
Security in Niamey : an anthropological perspective on policing and an act of terrorism in Niger
2012
ABSTRACTThe abduction of two Frenchmen in January 2011 in Niamey's supposedly most secure neighbourhood has led many to question the functioning of the city's security apparatus. This paper analyses Niamey's security landscape, initially from an historical and then from a spatial perspective. It argues that for a comprehensive analysis of security, we must first decentre our perspective on security construction, and thus take informal non-organised modes of policing just as seriously as policing by state and vigilante organisations; and second, take into account the inseparability of sociality and security, a fragile balance of trust and acceptable risk. In conclusion I argue that this focu…
Verso la rappresentazione e valutazione dello sviluppo delle aziende : i limiti dell'informativa economico-finanziaria e il contributo di alcuni appr…
2009
Firms are dynamic entities in continuous change. This dynamism can lead to an improvement or worsening of the firm. Only in the first situation we can say that a firm is developing. The notion of firm's development does not have in literature an univocal interpretation and for this reason the first aim of the article is to illustrate an interpretation for a better understanding of this notion, which remains incomplete without appropriate instruments for the representation and evaluation of firm's development. The main purpose of this article is to reflect upon the manner to represent and to value this complex phenomenon. The analysis highlights, on the one hand, the limits of the financial …
Theoretical Old-Age Pension Benefits and Replacement Rates in the Baltic States: A Retrospective Simulation
2016
Abstract The author presents a comparative analysis of old-age pension systems in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania using a method of retrospective simulation run on a self-developed model. The model baseline case is a person retiring in December 2014 after 40 years of service with nationwide average salary. Other cases include low and high-earners, funded schemes participants and simulations for modified notional capital valorisation formulae. Three study countries return very dissimilar results, which is caused by differences in their pension systems’ designs. Lack of non-contributory element (basic pension) in Latvia leads to a low degree of progressivity, with inexcusably low pensions to lo…

Experimental Evaluation of the Performance of a Three-Phase Five-Level Cascaded H-Bridge Inverter by Means FPGA-Based Control Board for Grid Connecte…
2018
Over the last decades, plants devoted to the generation of green energy significantly increased their number, together with the demand of same electrical energy, also stored in battery systems. This fact produced the growth of energy conversion systems with advanced performances with respect to the traditional ones. In this circumstance, multilevel converters play a significant role for their great advantages in performances, flexibility, fault-tolerability, employment of renewable energy sources and storage systems and finally yet importantly reduced filter requirements. In this context, this paper faces the performance of a cascaded H-bridge 5 level inverter in terms of harmonic distortio…
Heteroarildihidropirimidīnu ietekmes uz HBV kapsīdu savākšanos pētījumi zīdītāju šūnu kultūrās
2018
Tiek lēsts, ka 257 miljoniem cilvēku ir hroniska Hepatīta B vīrusa (HBV) infekcija un līdzšinējā terapija nevar nodrošināt pilnīgu vīrusa izskaušanu. Darbs veltīts jaunu pretvīrusu savienojumu - kapsīdu savākšanās efektoru - atlasei un raksturošanai zīdītāju šūnu kultūrās. Efektīvai HBV kapsīdas sintēzei šūnās izmantoja rekombinanto alfavīrusa replikonu. Ar natīvās agarozes gela elektroforēzi un imunoblotu tika izvērtēta kapsīdu veidošanās šūnās astoņu jauno savienojumu klātbūtnē. Atrasts, ka četri savienojumi -AS-M-II, AS-M-III, V4-93 un V4-84-s, ietekmē kapsīdu savākšanos. Atlasīto vielu antivīrusa efektu tālāk analizēja HBV producējošās HepG2.2.15 šūnās salīdzinot virionu DNS daudzumu ba…
Performance of polyester-based electrospun scaffolds under in vitro hydrolytic conditions: From short-term to long-term applications
2019
The evaluation of the performance of polyesters under in vitro physiologic conditions is essential to design scaffolds with an adequate lifespan for a given application. In this line, the degradation-durability patterns of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), polydioxanone (PDO), polycaprolactone (PCL) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) scaffolds were monitored and compared giving, as a result, a basis for the specific design of scaffolds from short-term to long-term applications. For this purpose, they were immersed in ultra-pure water and phosphate buffer solution (PBS) at 37 °
Bivariate nonlinear prediction to quantify the strength of complex dynamical interactions in short-term cardiovascular variability.
2005
A nonlinear prediction method for investigating the dynamic interdependence between short length time series is presented. The method is a generalization to bivariate prediction of the univariate approach based on nearest neighbor local linear approximation. Given the input and output series x and y, the relationship between a pattern of samples of x and a synchronous sample of y was approximated with a linear polynomial whose coefficients were estimated from an equation system including the nearest neighbor patterns in x and the corresponding samples in y. To avoid overfitting and waste of data, the training and testing stages of the prediction were designed through a specific out-of-sampl…
S9-Fibronectin, EGF-R, HB-EGF:biomarkers of urothelial damage during intravesical adjuvant therapy?
2013
Intravesical chemotherapy and immunotherapy with BCG represent the standard therapy to prevent recurrence after transurethral resection (TUR) of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMI-BC). Maintenance for at least one year is considered the best regimen. Noteworthy, a relevant number of patients do not complete the planned treatment due to local toxicity of the drug given intravesically1, 2. A major challenge for the urologists is to identify an early urothelial damage biomarker to prevent severe local toxicity requiring treatment interruption and to improve patient's compliance. The preliminary purpose of our research was to verify the possible correlation between urothelial damage induce…
