A clinical observation of tocilizumab efficacy for treatment of "cytokine storm" is presented in a patient with severe acute respiratory infection caused by SARS-CoV-2. Patient K., 57 years old with rapid progression of pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2 was admitted to hospital CHUZ " KB "RZDMeditsina" named after N. A. Semashko " on May 8, 2020, with complaints of fever up to 38,5°C for 5 days, cough and weakness. During 10 days of inpatient treatment, the patient's condition did not improve, shortness of breath increased (SpO290%, with oxygen therapy), the patient suffered from dry cough and fever up to 38,5°C. Due to increase in inflammatory process, manifested by an increase in C-reactive protein (CRP) > 75 mg/l, fever > 38°C, decrease in SpO2< 90%, leukopenia < 1,0 × 109/l, an increase in ferritin >1000 ng/ml in combination with a 70% (CT3) lesion of the lung tissue according to computed tomography, the patient was administered 160 mg of inteleukin -6 receptor blocker tocilizumab intravenously. In the next 48 hours of observation, the patient noted the disappearance of fever, an increase in SpO2to 94%, and a significant improvement in laboratory parameters. The effectiveness of tocilizumab can be explained by blocking interleukin-6-associated inflammatory response and requires further study in randomized clinical trials.
Salmonellosis remains an important problem not only in the Russian Federation, but throughout the world, both in veterinary medicine and in medicine. Poultry is the most affected by salmonella. Most often, S. Enteritidis, S. Typhimurium, S. Infantis, S. Gallinarum-pullorum are isolated from poultry and poultry products. It is these salmonella serovars that cause outbreaks of foodborne diseases in humans. For the prevention and treatment of salmonellosis, antibiotics of various groups are used: β-lactams, fluoroquinolones, cephalosporins, etc. Unfortunately, at present, most of the latest generation antibiotics are ineffective. However, many Salmonella isolates have been found to have multiple drug resistance (MDR). MDR strains began to actively displace those that were resistant to only one or two antibiotics. Antibioticresistant bacterial strains are transmitted to humans through the use of insufficiently heattreated poultry meat, through contact with raw poultry products, as well as through eggs and egg products. 45 strains of Salmonella isolated from sick poultry, as well as carcasses and poultry meat products were studied. Cultivation, study of biochemical, serological properties and virulence were carried out according to standard methods. Sensitivity to 35 antibiotics was determined using the disk diffusion method. In the study of antibiotic resistance of Salmonella serovars S. Enteritidis, S. Typhimurium, S. Infantis, it was found that they all had multidrug resistance, and most of the strains were resistant to 11–18 drugs out of 35 used. №t a single strain was found that was resistant to only 1–7 antibiotics. All strains were multiresistant, with 100% of Salmonella resistant to clindamycin, tylosin, oleandomycin, rifampicin, ampicillin, and penicillin. More than 80% of the studied strains were resistant to erythromycin, doxycycline, tetracycline. Aminoglycosides (kanamycin, neomycin, streptomycin, gentamicin, amikacin), amphenicols (chloramphenicol) suppressed the growth of 60–90% of Salmonella strains. The most effective were fluoroquinolones of the 2nd and 3rd generation, capable of inhibiting the growth of 80-100% of isolates, especially ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin. These drugs are backup antibiotics. However, isolates resistant to ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin have been found, which is alarming. 4th generation fluoroquinolones have been shown to be less effective, especially for S. infantis. Perhaps this is due to the use of fluoroquinolones among poultry at large poultry enterprises for the prevention of salmonellosis. Only about 30% of isolates were resistant to first-generation cephalosporins (cefazolin, cephalexin). Among the 3rd generation cephalosporins, the most effective were cephaperazone and especially ceftriaxone, to which no Salmonella isolate was resistant. 47% of S. Typhimurium is resistant to cefepime (4th generation cephalosporin), while sensitivity to other serovariants is up to 67%.
Up to the present time practically not studied the peculiarities of formation of cartilage in the various compartments of the shoulder joint in dogs, as well as zones of least resistance joints in General. Available studies mainly use visual diagnostic methods, without applying morphological and morphometric. There is no information about age-related cytomorphological transformations occurring in the joint in normal and pathological conditions. In this regard, the aim of our study was to determine the zone of risk of damage to the shoulder joint in dogs. Studies were conducted on dogs and cadaver material, selected from giant, large and mediumsized breeds. Arthroscopic studies of dogs were performed, as well as light microscopy of histological sections of freshly treated samples of joint tissues. As a result of trauma to the joint is transformed physiological synovial folds in sklerozirovanie a pathological form that occurs in German shepherd dogs over 5 years of age in 60% of cases. The process of mineralization of the matrix and the appearance of multiple foci of ossification occurs asynchronously in the cartilage of the head of the humerus and the articular cavity of the scapula. Osteoplastic processes in the area of articulation occur unevenly. Cartilage coating of the articular surface of the shoulder blade is characterized by a more uniform distribution than the articular rotation of the humerus head. The zones of risk of damage to the structures of the shoulder joint in dogs were determined. These include: cranial and medial compartments of the joint, the caudal area of the cartilaginous coating of the humerus, the caudal area of the articular surface of the scapula cavity. The data obtained make up for the information about the diagnosis and risk factors in the development of shoulder joint pathologies in dogs of large and giant breeds. They should be used in clinical diagnosis and surgery of the musculoskeletal system in animals.

The results of the study are presented, the effect of hydrothermal treatment of wheat-triticaleflax grain grinding mixture on the yield and quality of baking flour. The optimal parameters of hydrothermal treatment by cold conditioning of the initial wheat-triticale grain mixture before grinding were revealed. Seven grindings of wheat-triticale-flax grain mixture were carried out with various parameters of moisture and time of milling. Grinding of the initial grain mixtures was carried out at the laboratory mill MLU-202 of the Swiss company Buhler, which consists of three torn and three grinding systems. It was established that the optimal mode of preparation of the initial grain wheat-triticale mixture for grinding is to moisten it to a process humidity of 15.5–16.0%, and cough for 24 hours (grinding №. 7). In this case, the addition of flax seeds to the initial wheat-triticale grain mixture, which passed the TRP, is carried out before the first torn system. It has been established that flax seeds are crushed in the inter-roll gap starting from the second torn system. It was revealed that the addition of 7% flax to the initial wheat-triticale grain mixture reduces the yield of wheat-triticale flax flour from 3.5% to 6.8%, depending on the parameters of the hydrothermal treatment. It was revealed that during the processing of the initial grain mixture using optimal TRP conditions, the yield of wheat-triticale-flax flour enriched with essential polyunsaturated fatty acids amounted to 69.3% with a whiteness of 59 units of the R3-BPL-C device. Bread from wheat-triticale-flax flour compared to the control sample from wheat flour did not differ significantly. Both breads are of regular shape, convex crust, golden brown color of the crust. The crumb of bread obtained from both the control wheattriticale flour and wheat-triticale-flax flour is elastic, the porosity is uniform, thin-walled. It was found that in its organoleptic characteristics, bread obtained from wheat-triticale-flax flour is not inferior to bread from a control wheat-triticale flour, but in terms of taste it is superior.
Malt varieties of bread made from rye and a mixture of rye and wheat flour are enjoyed and of the greatest demand in the Republic of Belarus, the share of which in the total volume of bakery products reaches 45.2%, and in the volume of the bread assortment – up to 100.0%. The production of custard breads is carried out mainly with the use of fermented brews obtained on the basis of saccharified and thermophilic fermented brews, which is a multistage continuously prepared semi-finished product. At a discrete mode, the stage of preparing saccharified brews as the basis for thermophilic fermented and, ultimately, fermented brews are not realizable due to the impossibility of ensuring its stable chemical composition. The purpose of this work was to establish the relationship between the indicators of saccharified brews, its recipe composition and the technological parameters of preparation, which make it possible to predict the indicators of this semi-finished product at a discrete mode, control them and justifiably regulate the composition and technological parameters. The studies were carried out on the basis of bakery enterprises of the Republic of Belarus operating in a discrete mode. As an object of research, we selected saccharified tea leaves with a mass fraction of moisture 72.0%. The work uses special methods for assessing the indicators of saccharified brews. It has been established that for the preparation of saccharified brewing in the production cycle, seeded rye flour is used in an amount of 10.0% to 24.0%, unfermented rye malt in an amount of 2.0% to 8.0% of the flour mass according to a unified recipe for malt bread, the duration of the saccharification of the brews varies from 60 minutes to 720 minutes, and the temperature – from 45ºС to 65ºС. Different combinations of the composition of saccharified brews and the technological parameters of their preparation affect the dynamics of hydrolytic processes of flour biopolymers, which leads to instability of the chemical composition. Dependences have been obtained between the indices of saccharified brews, their recipe composition and technological parameters of preparation for regulating the chemical composition in the case of instability of applications of trade organizations for an assortment of malt varieties of bread and discreteness in the operating mode of baking enterprises.
This article reviews Russian industry experience in developing innovative technologies in the production of bakery, pasta, and confectionery products. The article analyzes innovative technologies developed in Russian institutes, universities, and enterprises of the bakery, pasta, and confectionery industries, in particular the state research Institute of Agriculture, Kuban State Technological University, Belgorod University of consumer cooperation, and Moscow state University of technology and management named after K. G. Razumovsky University (PKU), Moscow State University of food production. It is established that the state order system is focused on purchasing products at low prices and weakly encourages the introduction of innovative technologies into production. The main vectors of innovative transformations of bakery enterprises in the Russian Federation are the use of stoves, dough mixers, mixers, and non-traditional raw materials in the production of bakery products in order to increase the content of essential nutrients, improve the balance of essential essential nutrients, improve the quality and shelf life of finished products, and provide products with a functional orientation, which generally corresponds to global trends five years ago. Currently, consumers of bakery, pasta and confectionery products want to see in these products something more than sweetness, taste and aroma, they need confidence that the products will not cause harm to health, so one of the tasks set for technologists is to develop innovative products not only to expand the range, but also to improve the nutritional value of products.
BIOTECHNOLOGY
The antioxidant properties of individual substances and their mixtures, such as α-tocopherol, quercetin, β-sitosterol, retinyl palmitate, were studied to create a multiantioxidant composition that stabilizes emulsion systems. To determine the antioxidant activity, the ability of individual compounds and their mixtures to inhibit the thermal oxidation of oleic acid methyl ester was evaluated. It is shown that an increase in the antioxidant properties of a binary mixture of vitamins is observed with an increase in the concentration of α-tocopherol and a decrease in the concentration of retinyl palmitate. The effect of mutual suppression of the antioxidant properties of a mixture of retinyl palmitate and β-sitosterol was established. It is proved that the value of the antioxidant activity of the reaction mixture, including quercetin in combination with vitamins or β-sitosterin, has additive properties. A mixture consisting of 4 components: α-tocopherol, quercetin, β-sitosterol, retinyl palmitate is characterized by an increase in antioxidant properties by 2.5 times at minimum concentrations, and by 1.5 times at maximum concentrations. It was found that all the studied natural compounds had antiperoxide activity, while the highest level was observed in quercetin, then in retinyl palmitate, β-sitosterol and α-tocopherol. It was shown that the mixture of natural antioxidants had an antiperoxide activity 1.5 times higher than that of quercetin. Based on the obtained regression equation that adequately describes the process, an optimization program was implemented that allowed the formation of an antioxidant complex including retinyl palmitate, α-tocopherol, β-sitosterol and quercetin in optimal ratios. It is shown that the antioxidant activity of the complex was 1.7 times higher than the result of this indicator in a mixture consisting of 4 studied components. The developed d\antioxidant complex is recommended for use in products with an emulsion base.
Learning of quality indicators of meat in the process cryogenic freezing method with different nature of autolysis has a special relevant meaning in the context of increasing interest in ensure effective health saving of nation and promotion of the theory of resourse saving industries as part of accordance and introduction of the best technologies. Realization of comparative assessment of changes in meat quality indicators of NOR and DFD beef and pork depending on various freezing ways was the goal of original research. As part of the work we have been using TR CU 021/2011, TR CU 034/2013, Guidelines 4.2.2747-10 and State Standard. As a result of research we have found nature of the change in the properties of meat depending on freezing ways (aerial, cryogenic, acoustic) and autolysis (DFD beef, DFD pork, NOR beef, pork NOR). During storage of freezing meat within 6 months moisture doesn’t freeze from sarcoplasm of muscle fibers, which moves into interfiber space. We established that frozen meat by cryogenic method has smallest changes and also with using of the acoustic influence. In any modes of freezing both DFD beef and pork showed the greatest stability of indicators. Results of the research open additional technological properties of meat with different nature of autolysis, what plays important practical role for meat processing industries.
