Abstract
Abstract—Nowadays the possible influence of the coronavirus infection on cartilage degeneration and synovial membrane inflammation during chronic joint pathology—osteoarthritis—remains largely unelucidated. The aim of the presented work is to analyze the TGFB1, FOXO1, and COMP gene expression and free radical generation intensity in blood of patients suffering from osteoarthritis after beating the SARS-CoV2 infection. The work was carried out using molecular genetics and biochemistry methods. The decrease of the TGFB1 and FOXO1 expression level was shown to be more evident in the osteoarthritis patients after COVID-19 if compared to the group with knee osteoarthritis during simultaneous and more prominent diminishing of both superoxide dismutase and catalase activity (possibly indicating cell redox state disruption and TGF- P1-FOXO1 signaling attenuation) in patients with osteoarthritis after SARS-CoV2 disease. At the same time, the more prominent decrease of COMP gene expression level was demonstrated in patients with osteoarthritis after COVID-19 compared to the group with knee osteoarthritis and more intense increase of the COMP concentration in patients with osteoarthritis after the SARS-CoV2 infection was revealed. These data indicate more significant activation of cell destructive processes after the infection as well as further pathology progression.

Abstract
Excessive tooth wear is currently one of the main problems of oral health. Excessive tooth wear affects both function and aesthetics. Teeth with excessive tooth wear cannot be effectively used for biting and chewing food. Treating excessive tooth wear is complex and time consuming. Studies on increasing the effectiveness of treatment of such patients are relevant. The study involved 60 people with a significant degree of excessive tooth wear and a decrease in the height of the bite. We examined patients using measurements of the electromyographic (EMG) activity of mm.masseter and temporalis. The subjects were divided into two groups - in the first group (30 people), the maxillofacial system was prepared for further prosthetics by wearing a removable dental splint-teethguard, in the second group (30 people) we used both removable splint-teethguards and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). In both groups, an electromyographic study of mm.masseter and temporalis was performed after 1 week, 1 and 2 months of treatment. In patients with excessive tooth wear and a significant decrease in bite height, our method of preparation for orthopedic treatment contributed to a more rapid normalization of mm.masseter and temporalis functions. The results indicate a pronounced positive effect of the use of removable teeth guard and TENS on the normalization of the bioelectric activity of the masticatory muscles in the preparation of patients for orthopedic treatment of excessive tooth wear.

Abstract
Renal fibrosis is a critical event in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Unfortunately, there are few options to target renal fibrosis in order to develop novel anti-fibrotic agents that could prevent CKD progression to ESRD. We evaluated the efficacy of a novel dual-acting molecule, DM509, in preventing renal fibrosis using the unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) renal fibrosis mouse model. DM509 acts simultaneously as a farnesoid X receptor agonist (FXRA) and a soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor (sEHi). In this study, groups of 8-12 weeks old C57BL/6J male mice went through either UUO or sham surgery (n=6/group). Mice were pre-treated with DM509 (10mg/kg/d) or vehicle administered in drinking water one day prior to the UUO surgery. Sham, vehicle and DM509 treatments continued until day 10 and blood and kidney tissue were collected for biochemical, histological, and gene expression analysis at the end of the treatment protocol. The UUO group exhibited kidney dysfunction with elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) compared to the sham group (63±7 vs. 34±6 mg/dL). DM509 treatment prevented renal dysfunction as evident from 36% lower BUN level in the DM509 treated UUO mice compared to UUO mice treated with vehicle. Vehicle treated UUO mice demonstrated renal fibrosis with elevated kidney hydroxyproline content (213±11 vs. 49±9 μg/mg protein) and kidney collagen positive area (13±2% vs. 1.1±0.1%) compared to the sham group. We found that DM509 treatment prevented renal fibrosis and DM509 treated mice had 34-66% lower levels of kidney hydroxyproline and collagen positive renal area compared to vehicle-treated UUO mice. In conclusion, our data provide evidence that the novel dual-acting FXRA and a sEHi, DM509, prevented renal dysfunction and renal fibrosis in UUO mouse model.

Abstract
Glomerular injury and proteinuria are important pathophysiological features of chronic kidney disease. In the present study, we provide data on a glomerular injury model that was developed using the cancer chemotherapy drug sorafenib. Sorafenib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that acts via the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway and is widely used to treat a variety of cancers. On the other hand, sorafenib causes serious renal side effects in patients including the development of chronic kidney disease. The current study aimed to utilize the nephrotoxic property of sorafenib to develop a rat model for chronic kidney disease. We demonstrate that rats administered sorafenib for 8 weeks along with a high salt diet (8% NaCl enriched) develop hypertension (80mmHg higher systolic blood pressure), proteinuria (75% higher), and 4-fold higher glomerular injury compared to vehicle-treated normal control rat. Sorafenib induced glomerular injury was associated with decreased (20-80% lower) renal mRNA expression of key glomerular structural proteins such as nephrin, podocin, synaptopodin, and podoplanin compared to vehicle-treated normal control rat. Renal cortical endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT) was activated in the sorafenib induced glomerular injury model. In the sorafenib treated rats, the renal EndoMT was evident with 20% lower mRNA expression of an endothelial marker WT-1 and 2 to 3-fold higher expression of mesenchymal markers Col III, FSP-1, α-SMA, and vimentin. In conclusion, we developed a rat pre-clinical chronic kidney disease model that manifest glomerular injury. We further demonstrate that the glomerular injury in this model is associated with decreased renal mRNA expression of key glomerular structural proteins and an activated kidney EndoMT.

Abstract
In this work, it is demonstrated that the coating weight of printed layers can be determined in-line in a running printing press by near-infrared (NIR) reflection spectroscopy assisted by chemometric methods. Three different unpigmented lacquer systems, i.e., a conventional oil-based printing lacquer, an ultraviolet (UV)-curable formulation, and a water-based dispersion varnish, were printed on paper with coating weights between about 0.5 and 7 g m(-2). NIR spectra for calibration were recorded with a special metal reflector simulating the mounting conditions of the probe head at the printing press. Calibration models were developed on the basis of the partial least squares (PLS) algorithm and evaluated by independent test samples. The prediction performance of the developed models was examined at a sheet-fed offset printing press at line speeds between 90 and 180 m min(-1). Results show an excellent correlation of data predicted in-line from the NIR spectra with reference values obtained off-line by gravimetry. The prediction errors were found to be ≤ 0.2 g m(-2), which confirms the suitability of the developed spectroscopic method for process control in technical printing processes.

Abstract
The S-layer of Bacillus sphaericus strain JG-A12, isolated from a uranium-mining site, exhibits a high metal-binding capacity, indicating that it may provide a protective function by preventing the cellular uptake of heavy metals and radionuclides. This property has allowed the use of this and other S-layers as self-assembling organic templates for the synthesis of nanosized heavy metal cluster arrays. However, little is known about the molecular basis of the metal-protein interactions and their impact on secondary structure. We have studied the secondary structure, protein stability, and Pd((II)) coordination in S-layers from the B. sphaericus strains JG-A12 and NCTC 9602 to elucidate the molecular basis of their biological function and of the metal nanocluster growth. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy reveals similar secondary structures, containing approximately 35% beta-sheets and little helical structure. pH-induced infrared absorption changes of the side-chain carboxylates evidence a remarkably low pK < 3 in both strains and a structural stabilization when Pd((II)) is bound. The COO(-)-stretching absorptions reveal a predominant Pd((II)) coordination by chelation/bridging by Asp and Glu residues. This agrees with XANES and EXAFS data revealing oxygens as coordinating atoms to Pd((II)). The additional participation of nitrogen is assigned to side chains rather than to the peptide backbone. The topology of nitrogen- and carboxyl-bearing side chains appears to mediate heavy metal binding to the large number of Asp and Glu in both S-layers at particularly low pH as an adaptation to the environment from which the strain JG-A12 has been isolated. These side chains are thus prime targets for the design of engineered S-layer-based nanoclusters.
