Features of toll-like receptor type 9 expression on immunocompetent peripheral blood cells of patients with measles infection of varying severity
Full text linkObject of research: the level of the Toll-like receptor type 9 expression on peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes in patients with measles of varying severity, both with and without complications.
The solved problem: identification of the relationship between changes in the level of production of the main cytokines and virus-specific immunoglobulins and the level of expression of the Toll-like receptor type 9 on immunocompetent peripheral blood cells of patients with measles infection of varying severity.
The main scientific results: In patients with measles infection have been identified three types of cytokine response, each of which is characterized by different levels of changes in the expression of the main cytokines, immunoglobulins, and their avidity. It was shown that the levels of expression of major cytokines and virus-specific antibodies, as well as their avidity, are associated with the level of expression of the Toll-like receptor type 9. It has been demonstrated that moderate disease is associated with a significant increase in the level of expression of the Toll-like receptor type 9 on the immunocompetent peripheral blood cells, while their low expression leads to the development of severe forms of the disease. It has been shown that in moderate disease the risk of complications is associated with a lower level of expression of the Toll-like receptor compared to the group without complications. In groups of patients with a severe course of the disease a significant decrease in the level of expression of the Toll-like receptor type 9 was shown to be associated with the risk of complications.
The field of practical use of the research results: medical institutions specializing in the treatment of socially significant infectious diseases.
Innovative technological product: a method of advanced study of patients with and without measles infection of varying severity which allows to identify risk groups for the development of severe forms of the disease and complications, which in turn will allow the timely apply methods of immunomodulatory therapy and optimize the costs of the health system.

Development of extreme regulator of separation moisture from the gas stream
Full text linkObject of study: Automation of control of technological parameters of the process of low-temperature separation (LTS) of moisture from a gas stream.
Investigated problem: Improving the efficiency of the separation process when preparing gas for transportation through the consumption network. Development of hardware and software tools that provide automation of the process of regulating flow parameters under conditions of action of time-varying disturbances.
Main scientific results: A criterion for controlling the LTS process of a gas flow is formulated. The difference in the dynamic characteristics of the processes occurring during the separation of moisture makes it possible to effectively use a two-circuit control system. The perspective of using extreme regulators (ER) of the process, which is characterized by time delays between the input of the object and its output, is substantiated. The use of ER ensures the stability of the control process under the influence of disturbances in the parameters of the gas flow.
In the MATLAB environment, an ER model has been developed, in which a step-type algorithm is used, which provides an increase in the efficiency of the LTS process in accordance with the selected criterion
The area of practical use of research results: The scope of use of the research results are automation objects that need continuous automatic tracking of the changing settings of the process parameters regulators. The studies carried out make it possible to use the proposed regulator in various technological installations for drying gas and air (with appropriate identification of the parameters of the object).
Innovative technological product: Based on the formed criterion for controlling the LTS process, which is aimed at increasing the efficiency of the LTS process of moisture from a gas flow, a microprocessor-based step-type ER has been developed. Preliminary tests of the regulator show that it can be implemented on commercially available program logic controllers on the market.
Scope of application of an innovative technological product: The considered ER can be used to construct control systems for oil and gas transportation processes, which require adaptation and optimization modes to flow parameters. In this case, the need for adaptation is dictated by changes in flow parameters over time
Comparison of the hydrocolloids application efficiency for stabilizing the foam of beer
Full text linkSubject of research: technology of high gravity brewing, developed to improve production efficiency and reduce energy consumption. This technology has a wide range of benefits, from improving process economics to reducing environmental impact.
Investigated problem: despite the presence of significant advantages, there are a number of problems in the technology of high gravity brewing that need to be solved. The main problem is to reduce the foam stability of the resulting beer, which, together with the appearance, aroma and taste, is the most important attributes of the quality of the beverage for the consumer.
The stability and texture of the foam depend, among other things, on the quality of grain and hop raw materials, and the course of technological processes. Elevated levels of key malt proteins (LTP1, Z4 and Z7) and hop α-acids have a positive effect on foam quality. Yeast protease A has a negative effect. Yeast secretes this enzyme to a greater extent during fermentation of high gravity wort, which may be one of the reasons for the decrease in foam stability in high gravity brewing.
High molecular weight a- and b-glucans with hydrophilic properties can play an important role in foam stabilization. They increase the viscosity of the liquid, slow down its drainage from the foam segments and thereby increase the foam retention.
Main scientific results: the effect of hydrocolloids (highly methoxylated pectin, carboxymethyl cellulose, xanthan gum, guar gum, a mixture of xanthan and guar gum) on foam performance and beer filtration rate was investigated. The advantages of pectin as an additive allowing to stabilize beer foam, in particular, in high gravity - brewing, have been established. The recommended dosage of the additive is 0.4-1 g/hl. Highly methoxylated pectin is a good alternative to the currently widespread use of propylene glycol alginate.
The area of practical implementation of the research results: brewing companies.
Innovative technological product: highly methoxylated pectin as a stabilizing additive for beer foam.
Scope of application of the innovative technological product: the use of highly methoxylated pectin as additives that stabilize beer foam, in particular in high gravity brewing
