Autoimmune hepatitis with abnormally high level of serum alpha-fetoprotein (Clinical case) by A. O. Bueverov, Ye. S. Dolmagambetova

“…Over 200-fold elevation of AFP level in presented case, that rapidly decreased up to normal level under the influence of successful immune suppressive treatment, can be hard to explain from traditional point of view. Apparently, it is necessary to take into account specific features of AFP synthesis regulation, manifested at vast destruction of hepatic parenchyma.…”

The effect of molecular structure of chlorin photosensitizers on photo-bleaching of 1,3-diphenylisobenzofuran—the possible evidence of iodine reactive species formation by Kustov, Andrey, Morshnev, Philipp, Kukushkina, Natal’ya, Krestyaninov, Mikhail, Smirnova, Nataliya, Berezin, Dmitry, Kokurina, Galina, Belykh, Dmitry

“…In contrast, three PSs containing a 3(1),3(2)-bis-(N,N,N-trimethylaminomethylvinyl) iodide fragment with two adjacent cationic groups have an abnormally high quantum yield reaching 0.8. It is apparent that this phenomenon results from faster trap oxidation induced by radical reactions leading to molecular iodine formation.…”
