DNA insecticides: Data on the trial in the field.

This data article is related to the research articles entitled "The RING for gypsy moth control: topical application of fragment of its nuclear polyhedrosis virus anti-apoptosis gene as insecticide" (Oberemok et al., 2016), "Molecular alliance of Lymantria dispar multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus and a short unmodified antisense oligonucleotide of its anti-apoptotic IAP-3 gene: a novel approach for gypsy moth control" (Oberemok et al., 2017), and "Topical treatment of LdMNPV-infected gypsy moth caterpillars with 18 nucleotides long antisense fragment from LdMNPV IAP-3 gene triggers higher levels of apoptosis in infected cells and mortality of the pest" (Oberemok et al., 2017). This data article reports on the significant decrease of survival of L. dispar larvae after contact application of 18 nucleotides long antisense oligoRING fragment in the field experiment and supports perspective of use of DNA insecticides in forests.

[Clinical value of determining spontaneous chemiluminescence of neutrophils in young children with meningococcal infection]. / Klinicheskoe znachenie opredeleniia spontannoi khemiliumi- nestsentsii neitrofilov krovi pri meningokokkovoi infektsii u detei rannego vozrasta.

The generalized meningococcal infection in infants in frequently associated with changes (mostly with an increase) in neutrophil reactivity, which can be identified with the aid of spontaneous luminol-dependent chemiluminescence (CL) of diluted blood. The changes in the functional activity of neutrophils mirror the adequacy of the reaction to the meningococcal infection, which turns out maximal in the patterns of medium gravity. The low indicators of CL serve as a prognostic criterion for an unfavourable course of the meningococcal infection, which requires early immunocorrective treatment.

[Experience with the use of aminalon in the complex treatment of children with meningococcal infections]. / Opyt primeneniia aminalona v kompleksnoi terapii meningokokkovoi infektsii u detei.

The results of using the Soviet drug aminalon in combined therapy of 143 children aged 7 months to 16 years suffering from generalized meningococcal infection are presented. According to the data of catamnestic observation the use of the drug in the early convalescence period contributed to a reduction of the incidence of residual manifestations in the patients, and prevented development of the cerebrospinal syndrome. In the late restorative period, the repeated courses of aminalon in combination with vitamins and other biostimulants are indicated in children with asthenohypodynamic states or having difficulties of learning at school.

[Dependence of immune cytolysis of cells infected with western equine encephalomyelitis virus upon the cell cycle stages]. / Zavisimost' immunnogo tsitoliza infitsirovannykh virusom zapadnogo entsefalomielita loshadei kletok ot stadii kletochnogo tsikla

In the first few hours after inoculation of Chinese hamster cells with western equine encephalomyelitis virus the mitotic activity of the cells did not change significantly but mitoses stopped mainly in the stage of metaphase and had all signs of pathological mitoses. Treatment of the cells for 1 hour with the homologous antiviral immune serum and complement resulted in destruction and death of practically all cells except those in the state of mitosis. In the latter specific fluorescence of virus antigen was demonstrated by the fluorescent antibody technique same as before treatment with the homologous immune serum and complement. Resistance of mitoses to immune cytolysis is probably conducive to virus persistence.
