Influence of marital and family relations on demographic processes in Ukraine by N.M. Ohareva, D.O. Hrytsyshen

“…Modern scientists single out the main problems of Ukrainian families: from a social point of view, it is a high level of population poverty and low monetary income; improper living conditions and unorganized life; from a demographic point of view – this is a decrease in the birth rate and an increase in the death rate of the population; lack of natural growth; the aging of the population and the reduction of life expectancy of both sexes; deterioration of the nationʼs health; the intensity of migration processes, the increase of the «load» on its working part; from a psychological point of view – these are negative forms of experiencing emotional states: mood, affect, stress, distress, frustration; psychological unreadiness for marriage; lack of knowledge and violated value orientations; lack of common interests; loss of feeling of love; incompatibility of characters; unwillingness to improve and lack of concern for the partner; frivolous attitude to family responsibilities; differences in religious views; sexual dissatisfaction and infidelity; alcohol, drug or gaming addiction. …”

A Chimeric Peptide Derived from a Bacterial Effector Protein Attenuates TLR-2/4-Mediated Production of Pro-Inflammatory Cytokines and Enhances the Cellular Availability of Gentamic... by Nandi BR, Patra B, Radhakrishnan GK

“…Additionally, TcpB-derived peptides conjugated to gentamicin were analyzed for enhanced intracellular delivery, bacterial clearance, and anti-inflammatory effects using CFU enumeration, ELISA, and qRT-PCR in both in vitro and in vivo.Results: TB4-BBL2 peptide was efficiently internalized by macrophages via endocytosis and promoted the degradation of TIRAP and MYD88, thereby attenuating TLR2/4-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokine production and oxidative stress. In vivo, TB4-BBL2 treatment resulted in over a 70% reduction in serum TNF-α levels, which was also reflected by decreased transcript levels in spleen tissue. …”
