Functional properties of food products with the addition of germinated grain raw materials have become the object of increased attention of scientists and specialists in the food industry. In addition to the nutritional ingredients, food products with the addition of grain raw materials contain functional ingredients that positively affect the human body that helps to adapt to the effects of the external environment. Functional products with the addition of germinated grain are considered not only as a source of plastic substances and energy but also as a nutritional complex that provides a healing effect. The usage of germinated grain in the food and processing industries is very limited due to its short shelf life and the characteristics of preparing malt for further processing. A relevant technological challenge is the selection of barley malt moisture regimes. The cycle of researches concerning hydrothermal processing of dry barley malt has been carried out. The purpose of determining the optimal technological regimes of hydrothermal processing of dry germinated grain is the prospects for its further use in various food technologies as a food additive or a component of the enrichment of products with biologically active substances. The work highlights the selection process and the main technological parameters of the process that can be used in the industrial processing of barley malt. As a research object, dry germinated grain (malt) produced by a special technology was used. In the course of research, an optimal hydro module was selected for humidifying barley malt, the temperature regime of hydrothermal processing of germinated grain was determined, the degree of swelling of malted grain was determined, the optimum time of wetting of raw materials for its further processing was determined. When analyzing the data obtained, it was concluded that the optimal hydro module for swelling barley malt is 1:4, the optimum temperature is +65С and the duration of hydrothermal processing is 48 hours. The regimes of hydrothermal processing of barley malt presented in the article will allow optimizing the technological process of malt processing.

To improve the genetic-breeding characteristics of maternal forms, to increase their adaptive potential in breeding hybrids of agricultural crops (sorghum, African millet, corn, rice, sunflower, winter rye, etc.), various types of CMS are used. The article presents the results of studying the collection of CMS sorghum lines obtained on the basis of new sources of sterility (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, 9E and M-35-1A) by agronomic characteristics. On the experimental field of the Institute in 2014-2018. 21 lines were sown in a wide-row way with row spacing of 70 cm and a density of standing of 100 thousand plants per 1 ha. The allocation of plots of 7.7 m2 is randomized, in triplicate. The use of cluster analysis for the minimum of Euclidean distances allowed us to group CMS lines according to similar studied features: the 1st group includes 9; 2nd - 4; 3rd and 4th - 3 each; 5th and 6th - 1 line each. One-way analysis of variance confirms the validity of differences between groups by 18 selection criteria, with the exception of the extension of the panicle leg. A significant variation in vegetative (V = 11.0-21.6%) and generative traits (V = 13.2-28.4%) was found. The smallest coefficient of variation was revealed by the duration of the seedling-flowering interphase period — 4.8%, which indicates the maturity of most lines (in A2 KVV 181, A2 Suzern light, A2 AGS - 46.6 days). A five-year test of the source material made it possible to identify productive lines of the 5th and 6th groups (grain productivity 5.07-5.36, biomass - 18.30-20.70 t / ha); weakly growing lines of the 3rd group (total and productive bushiness 1.12-1.14), low-growing lines of the 1st group (plant height 81.0 cm). A1 Efremovskoye 2 is distinguished by tallness (143.3 cm), large sizes of flag and largest leaves (areas of 150.0 and 254.2 cm2, respectively). The selection of sterile lines with predetermined traits helps to optimize the selection process and their targeted use in crossbreeding programs.

The cultivation of medicinal plants is currently the main way of providing the pharmaceutical industry with raw materials for obtaining biologically active substances for the production of drugs. The use of natural resources of wild species is decreasing every year for a number of reasons, the biotechnological method has not been properly expanded yet, and in some cases it is possible to reproduce only a part of the complex of target biologically active substances contained in an intact plant. In recent years, a positive growth trend has been outlined in the domestic production of medicinal starting materials of herbal origin. However, there are a number of problematic issues that inhibit the development of medicinal plant growing and lead to a certain stagnation. These are general legislative and organizational problems, as well as deterioration or deficiency of material resources – basic production assets, lack of comprehensive mechanization, shortage of qualified specialists and a number of other obstacles. Nevertheless, the actively growing demand for high-quality raw materials from medicinal plant both in our country and abroad opens up great prospects for the development of medicinal plant production. It should be noted that the analysis of the current state of collection and cultivation of medicinal plants in Russia is poorly developed or is practically absent. The paper examines the current state of medicinal plant production; attempts are made to identify the main problems and possible growth points. Finding solutions to the problems and using the growth points show promise for the transformation of medicinal plant production into an industry with a large import substituting and export potential.

Abstract Background According to many conceptual frameworks, the first step in the monitoring cycle of health inequalities is the selection of relevant topics and indicators. However, some difficulties may arise during this selection process due to a high variety of contextual factors that may influence this step. In order to help accomplish this task successfully, a comprehensive review of the most common topics and indicators for measuring and monitoring health inequalities in countries/regions with similar socioeconomic and political status as Catalonia was performed. Methods We describe the processes and criteria used for selecting health indicators from reports, studies, and databases focusing on health inequalities. We also describe how they were grouped into well-known health topics. The topics were filtered and ranked by the number of indicators they accounted for. Results We found 691 indicators used in the study of health inequalities. The indicators were grouped into 120 topics, 34 of which were selected for having five indicators or more. Most commonly found topics in the list include “Life expectancy”, “Infant mortality”, “Obesity and overweight (BMI)”, “Mortality rate”, “Regular smokers/tobacco consumption”, “Self-perceived health”, “Unemployment”, “Mental well-being”, “Cardiovascular disease/hypertension”, “Socioeconomic status (SES)/material deprivation”. Conclusions A wide variety of indicators and topics for the study of health inequalities exist across different countries and organisations, although there are some clear commonalities. Reviewing the use of health indicators is a key step to know the current state of the study of health inequalities and may show how to lead the way in understanding how to overcome them.

Nowadays the process of information accumulation is so rapid that the concept of the usual iterative search requires revision. Being in the world of oversaturated information in order to comprehensively cover and analyze the problem under study, it is necessary to make high demands on the search methods. An innovative approach to search should flexibly take into account the large amount of already accumulated knowledge and a priori requirements for results. The results, in turn, should immediately provide a roadmap of the direction being studied with the possibility of as much detail as possible. The approach to search based on topic modeling, the so-called topic search, allows you to take into account all these requirements and thereby streamline the nature of working with information, increase the efficiency of knowledge production, avoid cognitive biases in the perception of information, which is important both on micro and macro level. In order to demonstrate an example of applying topic search, the article considers the task of analyzing an import substitution program based on patent data. The program includes plans for 22 industries and contains more than 1,500 products and technologies for the proposed import substitution. The use of patent search based on topic modeling allows to search immediately by the blocks of a priori information – terms of industrial plans for import substitution and at the output get a selection of relevant documents for each of the industries. This approach allows not only to provide a comprehensive picture of the effectiveness of the program as a whole, but also to visually obtain more detailed information about which groups of products and technologies have been patented.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are biopharmaceutical products where a monoclonal antibody is linked to a biologically active drug (a small molecule) forming a conjugate. Since the approval of first ADC (Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (trade name: Mylotarg)) for the treatment of CD33-positive acute myelogenous leukemia, several ADCs have been developed for the treatment of cancer. The goal of an ADC as a cancer agent is to release the cytotoxic drug to kill the tumor cells without harming the normal or healthy cells. With time, it is being realized that ADCS can also be used to manage or cure other diseases such as inflammatory diseases, atherosclerosis, and bacteremia and some research in this direction is ongoing. The focus of this review is on the clinical pharmacology aspects of ADC development. From the selection of an appropriate antibody to the finished product, the entire process of the development of an ADC is a difficult and challenging task. Clinical pharmacology is one of the most important tools of drug development since this tool helps in finding the optimum dose of a product, thus preserving the safety and efficacy of the product in a patient population. Unlike other small or large molecules where only one moiety and/or metabolite(s) is generally measured for the pharmacokinetic profiling, there are several moieties that need to be measured for characterizing the PK profiles of an ADC. Therefore, knowledge and understanding of clinical pharmacology of ADCs is vital for the selection of a safe and efficacious dose in a patient population.
