Immunohistochemical study of uveal melanoma and its cellular microenvironment by S. V. Saakyan, L. A. Katargina, E. B. Myakoshina, G. P. Zakharova, I. P. Khoroshilova–Maslova, A. M. Maibogin

“…Immunohistochemical study allows to identify subpopulations of lymphocytes infiltrating the tumor, to determine the subtypes of macrophages and to estimate the Ki-67 index of tumor cell proliferation. The data obtained will make it possible to further evaluate the significance of individual immune cells (in particular, T-cytotoxic CD28+ lymphocytes) in the pathogenesis of uveal melanoma in order to develop targeted effects, substantiate new immunotherapeutic approaches to the treatment of primary tumors and reprogramming altered immune cells.…”

Photosynthetic activity of a birds-foot trefoil depending on agronomic techniques of the Middle Urals by Zh. S. Nelyubina, N. I. Kasatkina

“…The highest net photosynthesis productivity (5.1-5.6 g / m2 per day), as well as the collection of dry mass in the first mowing (1.75-1.84 t / ha) was provided by a birds-foot trefoil sown under the cover of spring wheat and oats with a sowing rate of 7 million pcs. of germinating seed / ha in a wide-row sowing, and with a norm of 9-10 million pcs. of germinating seeds / ha in the ordinary row sowing. The analysis of the obtained data showed that the optimal structure of crops emerged in segregated variants with such indicators: the stalk density of bird's-foot trefoil is 745-803 pcs. / m2, the plants height is 37-39 cm, the foliage is 46-47%.…”
