Abstract
Recent progress in the field of topological states of matter has largely been initiated by the discovery of bismuth and antimony chalcogenide bulk topological insulators (TIs; refs ,,,), followed by closely related ternary compounds and predictions of several weak TIs (refs ,,). However, both the conceptual richness of Z2 classification of TIs as well as their structural and compositional diversity are far from being fully exploited. Here, a new Z2 topological insulator is theoretically predicted and experimentally confirmed in the β-phase of quasi-one-dimensional bismuth iodide Bi4I4. The electronic structure of β-Bi4I4, characterized by Z2 invariants (1;110), is in proximity of both the weak TI phase (0;001) and the trivial insulator phase (0;000). Our angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements performed on the (001) surface reveal a highly anisotropic band-crossing feature located at the point of the surface Brillouin zone and showing no dispersion with the photon energy, thus being fully consistent with the theoretical prediction.

Abstract
Cystatin C is a non-glycated cationic protein with a molecular weight of 13.3 kD, which belongs to the superfamily of cystatins; its basic function is to inhibit and regulate the activity of cysteine proteinase. In apparently healthy individuals, the extracellular concentration of cystatin C is shown to be substantially higher in serum than in urine and bile. The increased serum concentration of cystatin C has been found in the development of chronic viral hepatitis C, and hepatic cirrhosis in particular, which reflects the development of an inflammatory process and, evidently, the higher secretion of cystatin C by stimulated macrophages.

Abstract
Kinetics of gadolinium accumulation was studied by inductively coupled plasma-emission spectroscopy after intravenous injection of this agent (7.5 mg/kg) to CBA mice. Gadolinium exhibits lysosomotropic properties (long-term selective accumulation in lysosomes in vivo). Gadolinium uptake by hepatic cells attained maximum 1 h after its intravenous injection and remained at this level during the next day. Accumulation of gadolinium in hepatocytic lysosomes disturbed their osmotic properties (as was seen from the increase in free acid phosphatase activity, which persisted for 19 days). Serum activities of beta-D-galactosidase and beta-D-glucuronidase also increased (24-72 h and day 19). Selective depression of liver macrophages (24-48 h) was accompanied by a decrease in serum chitotriosidase activity. We conclude that accumulation of gadolinium in lysosomes of liver macrophages leads to their damage and elimination of a certain population of macrophages (primarily large cells). Changes in activity of serum lysosomal enzymes also reflect repopulation of liver macrophages.

Abstract
The role of macrophage (Kupffer cell) stimulation and suppression in the development of a toxic liver damage was studied in rats with acute hepatitis induced by paracetamol (acetaminophen, 1000 mg/kg). Pretreatment with carboxymethylated (1-->3)-beta-D-glucan (25 mg/kg, i.p., 48 h before paracetamol) for the macrophage stimulation or with gadolinium chloride (GdCl3, 7.5 mg/kg, i.v., 24 h before paracetamol) for the macrophage suppression has a protective effect manifested by normalization of the liver function test parameters and by a decrease in the degree of morphological changes in the liver cells. A relation between these positive effects and the TNF-alpha secretion by macrophages is discussed.

Abstract
We studied the effect of macrophage stimulator water-soluble beta-(1-->3)-D-carboxymethylglucan on the efficiency of cyclophosphamide chemotherapy in Lewis lung carcinoma. Cyclophosphamide inhibited the growth of primary tumor nodes by 57%. The preparation possessed pronounced antimetastatic activity: metastases were found in 40.9% animals. Combination therapy with cyclophosphamide and (1-->3)-beta;-D-glucan inhibited the growth of intramuscular tumors by 75-89% and reduced the incidence of metastases into the lungs by 92-94%. The therapeutic effect was most pronounced after simultaneous administration of these preparations: tumor growth was suppressed by 89.3% and metastases were found in only 7.5% animals (vs. 100% in the control). The potentiating effect of beta-(1-->3)-D-carboxymethylglucan is related to accumulation of cysteine proteinase inhibitors in the tumor tissue and plasma, but not to changes in blood cell composition.

Abstract
A decrease in activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in Wistar rat liver tissue, caused by stress, was realized via a mechanism, involving adrenaline and hydrocortisone as first messengers and cAMP as a second messenger. In these systems G6PD II and IV isoenzymes were mainly inhibited. These are the urgent mechanisms for regulation of the enzymatic activity. Activation of G6PD within the reparative period after the stress was due to induction of the enzyme synthesis. Cooperative action of adrenaline, hydrocortisone and high density lipoproteins from blood serum, modulating the effect of adaptive hormones, was responsible for the enzyme induction. Actinomycin D and vinblastine (inhibitor of the cell microtubular apparatus) prevented the stimulation of G6PD isoenzymes caused by the cooperative hormonal effect. The data obtained suggest that the cooperative effect occurred as a result of lysosomes translocation to nucleus and the subsequent activation of chromatin.
