    Abstract The dependence among the content of energy reserves in Sorex caecutiens, the abundance of food objects, and the number of shrews in the summer periods of 2012–2019 was estimated. The glycogen content in the liver of S. caecutiens did not show a significant relationship to the number of animals. The mass of fat depots and the relative biomass of invertebrates (according to the counting data obtained with the pitfall traps) in August were inversely related to the total number of all species of shrews inhabiting the territory. The mass of the adipose tissue of S. caecutiens positively correlated with the biomass of insect larvae (primarily of caterpillar-like ones, which constituted the bulk of larvae in the samples). The revealed features indicate an increase in intra- and interspecific food competition during the years of high numbers of shrews.

    Abstract Introduction: The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-third edition (Bayley-III) is one of the most widely used tools for assessing child development, and adapted versions of this instrument have been successfully used in many countries. No comprehensive psychometric studies of the Bayley-III have yet been performed in Russia.
    Materials and methods: This psychometric study was part of the longitudinal study conducted by the Ural Federal University in 2016-2020. Within the project, the original Bayley-III manual was translated into Russian and then used in a cohort of 333 infants to assess cognition, expressive/receptive communication, and fine/gross motor skills. For the purpose of psychometric analysis, we selected the data for four age groups of children from the longitudinal study database: 4-6 months (
    Results: The average scaled scores of the examined children were generally comparable with the original (US) Bayley-III norms, with the exception of those older than 1 year, who demonstrated 1.2-1.9 points better performance in cognitive development and gross motor skills and 0.9-2.6 points lower performance in expressive communication. The correlation of both raw and scaled scores between different scales was low to moderate in all age groups (Spearman's ρ mostly within the range of 0.3-0.6;
    Conclusion: The Russian version of the Bayley-III proved to be a psychometrically valid and reliable tool for assessing child development, at least in a research context. The development of the examined children was close to the original US norms, with some deviation in cognitive, gross motor, and expressive communication scores mostly in older children, which could be attributed to the biased sample.

    Abstract Sleep spindles are thalamocortical oscillations with waxing-waning morphology, which comprise the key electroencephalographic (EEG) hallmark of stage 2 non-rapid eye movement sleep. The functional role of sleep spindles is not sufficiently clear, but there is a large body of literature that indicates the relationship between spindle activity and neural plasticity. Many of the spindle parameters (frequency, configuration, duration, density, and topography) vary significantly throughout life. However, the long duration, asynchrony and sharp morphology are the most distinctive characteristics of sleep spindles in infants. This unique infantile phenotype of sleep spindles typically changes after approximately one year of postnatal life in humans. Considering that EEG reflects brain electrochemical activity, there is evidence to suggest that substantial neurochemical events underlie these changes. In this paper, we hypothesize that the GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) shift is a key event influencing the sleep spindle phenotype during infancy. We briefly review evidence for the relation between infantile sleep spindles and depolarizing GABA transmission occurring in the developing brain.

    Abstract Data on population dynamics and dominance structure in the shrew community in the environs of Magadan in 2011–2018 are presented. Even-toothed shrews and Laxmann’s shrews (S. isodon and S. caecutiens) were generally dominant in the catches, and the slender shrew, the Siberian large-toothed shrew, the Kamchatka shrew, and the least shrew (S. gracillimus, S. daphaenodon, S. camtschaticus, and S. minutissimus) were secondary species with regard to abundance. The increases and decreases in the numbers of all species were coincident to varying degrees, and the differences in the dominance structure in the different years were relatively small. The status of only two species varied: they were the Laxmann’s shrew, characterized by the largest amplitude of number fluctuations, and the slender shrew, for which an increase in abundance occurred recently in the region. The role of some factors in the regulation of the number of animals is discussed.

    Abstract Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has become a critical public health issue that affects more than 78 million people. In many recent studies, the authors have demonstrated that equine-assisted activities and therapies (EAATs) can substantially improve the social and behavioral skills of children with ASD. However, the qualities of the studies differ, and some authors reached opposite conclusions. In this review, we systematically and objectively examined the effectiveness of EAATs for people with ASD, combining both qualitative and quantitative methods. We searched five databases (PubMed, Scopus, ERIC, ProQuest, and MEDLINE) and added relevant references, and we identified 25 articles for data extraction and analysis. According to our results, EAAT programs can substantially improve the social and behavioral functioning and language abilities of children with ASD. However, among the subdomains, the results were inconsistent. According to the meta-analyses, there were considerable improvements in the social cognition, communication, irritability, and hyperactivity domains, but not in the domains of social awareness, mannerisms, motivation, lethargy, stereotypy, or inappropriate speech. Moreover, there was a lack of sufficient comparative data to conclude that EAAT programs lead to substantial improvements in motor and sensory functioning. In addition, among the included studies, we noted the indicator of whether EAAT programs decreased parental stress and improved family functioning, and although there were four articles in which the researchers considered this aspect, we were unable to draw any conclusions because of the insufficient data and conflicting descriptive evidence. However, we need to consider the improvement in parental mental health as a factor in the effectiveness of this complementary intervention. We hope that in future studies, researchers will focus on family functioning and conduct more randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with blinded assessments using different scales and measures.

    Abstract Background: Recent trials have highlighted the potential of oral antiviral VV116 in the treatment of patients with mild COVID-19. However, no comprehensive studies have assessed the safety and efficacy of VV116. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review to assess the safety and efficacy of VV116.
    Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar websites, with a cutoff date of March 23, to identify pertinent studies.
    Results: The results from the 3 included studies indicated that no serious adverse events were reported in the VV116 experimental groups, which exhibited a 2.57-day faster time to viral shedding than the control group and demonstrated non-inferiority to the nirmatrelvir-ritonavir control group in alleviating major symptoms.
    Discussion: Collectively, available studies suggest a reliable safety and efficacy profile for VV116. However, the limited number of trials was insufficient for meta-analysis, and the included population consisted of younger individuals with mild and moderate symptoms, not encompassing the elderly who are severely affected by COVID-19. We hope that more studies will be conducted in the future to ensure that VV116 has a more reliable safety and efficacy profile in the clinical setting, especially in severe or critical patients.

    Abstract Non-coding regulatory RNAs (ncRNAs) comprise specialized group of essential genetically encoded biological molecules involved in the wide variety of cellular metabolic processes. The progressive increase in the number of newly identified ncRNAs and the defining of their genome location indicate their predominant nesting in intergenic regions and expression under the control of their own regulatory elements. At the same time, the regulation of ncRNA's transcription cannot be considered in isolation from the processes occurring in the immediate genetic environment. A number of experimental data indicate the notable impact of positional regulation of gene expression mediated by dynamic temporal DNA rearrangements accompanying transcription events in the vicinity of neighboring genes. This issue can be perceived as particularly significant for divergently transcribed ncRNAs being actually subjected to double regulatory pressure. Based on available results of RNAseq experiments for

    Abstract Background: Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) are characterized by a heightened susceptibility to infections, allergies, and various other health complications. Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) in patients with IEI is a critical area of research that demands attention due to the impact of IEI on patients' lives. This study utilized bibliometric methods, aiming to comprehensively explore the research content and hotspots in the field of HRQOL in patients with IEI.
    Methods: This bibliometric analysis utilized data from the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) within the Web of Science core datasets up to January 1, 2024. The study focused on literature that addressed HRQOL in IEI patients, involving a total of 1,807 authors and 309 articles published across 112 journals. The analysis included publication volume and growth trends, country and institutional contributions, authorship, and journal analysis.
    Results: The research found that despite the importance of HRQOL in IEI, the volume of publications in this field remains consistently low, with no significant increase in trend. The USA leads in publication and citation volumes, reflecting a geographical imbalance in research contributions. Key journals in this field include the Journal of Clinical Immunology, Frontiers in Immunology, and the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. The study highlights that while treatments like hematopoietic stem cell transplants and gene therapy have improved patient IEI survival rates, they still often come with significant side effects impacting HRQOL. The analysis underlines the need for comprehensive HRQOL assessments in IEI, considering the physical and psychological impacts of treatments.
    Conclusions: This study represents a bibliometric analysis focusing on HRQOL in patients with. It underscores the need for more extensive and systematic research in this area, emphasizing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach. Despite advancements in medical treatments for IEI, there is a crucial need to focus on HRQOL to enhance patient satisfaction and overall well-being. The findings advocate for more personalized treatment plans and a better understanding of the psychosocial needs of patients with IEI to improve their quality of life.
