Experts of Tomsk Polytechnic University and Saint Petersburg Scientific Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums have published a training aid entitled Medication Life Cycle from Pharmaceutical Development to Putting Out of Commission for training engineering staff of biotechnological production in Nicaragua. The training aid is dedicated to quality assurance of medication.

Writing a joint training aid became a part of the educational project by BioNica related to the organization and construction of a Russian-Nicaraguan enterprise of the Latin American Institute of Biotechnology MECHNIKOV, S.A. in Managua (Nicaragua). It is the one biotechnological enterprise in Central America.

“Currently, there is a problem of expansion of production, therefore a question of training staff has come up. Managua universities do not train engineers for biotechnological productions. Experts of Saint Petersburg Scientific Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums (a coordinator of the project by BioNica) addressed a proposal to TPU to engage in this project two years ago,” says Elena Krasnokutskaya, Head of the TPU Kizhner Research Center.

The volume of the training aid is 310 pages. The aid contains 11 chapters dedicated to government regulation in biotechnological and pharmaceutical productions, standardization and product quality control, storage and transportation of pharmaceutical goods, operation, maintenance of critical equipment and utilities, and other topics. The aid is published in Russian and Spanish. It is designed for advanced training of staff of operating biotechnological production, academic staff of University of Managua and experts of the Ministry of Health of Nicaragua.

“When the main content of the aid was prepared, we realized that there was a lot of material and it had a different level of complexity. Therefore, there was a decision to publish two aids. The first aid is more focused on relevant questions related to the operation of modern pharmaceutical productions in accordance with the requirements of international law. The second aid is more fundamental. Its main idea is to give future engineers an understanding of the importance of a systematic approach for the creation of medication at all stages of its life cycle. By agreement with the colleagues from Saint Petersburg Scientific Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums this aid will be published at TPU,” Elena Krasnokutskaya adds.

Within the cooperation of TPU and Saint Petersburg Scientific Research Institute of Vaccines and Serums, it is planned to arrange advanced training for academic staff at universities, experts of the Ministry of Health of Nicaragua, as well as training for master’s degree students from Nicaragua who study the Pharmaceutical Biology educational program at TPU sponsored by a future employer.

“Participation in such projects as BioNica is quite essential. It is that real contribution, which Russian education can make in the promotion of domestic high-tech products to the international market,”

Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University jointly with their overseas colleagues have developed a coating, which reduces the biofouling of metals in water and other biological environments by 100 folds. The coating allows making medical implants more lasting and safer. The research findings are published in the Applied Surface Science journal (IF: 6,707, Q1).

Biofouling is the accumulation of undesirable deposits on metal surfaces submerged into the biological environment. It causes due to microorganism activity, reduces functional properties of metal and may lead to its destruction. The problem is relevant for many areas, in particular, marine vessels and medical devices to be implanted.

According to the scientists, the main solution is giving properties preventing microorganism settlement on the surface. For these purposes, titanium dioxide is frequently used, however, it is expensive and not effective in all cases.

The TPU scientists proposed a cheap means, which allows reducing the activity of biofouling by 100 folds. It is higher than indexes of titanium dioxide by several folds. First of all, the solution is designed to fight against pathogenic microbial flora on the surface of medical implants, however, it is also applicable for any other devices.

“Using cations, we combined bulk soft alginate films, which were obtained from brown algae (Phaeophyceae) with calcium and copper in different proportions. Moreover, we also researched the impact of strength film properties and their wettability with water and oil on the amount of settled microscopic life forms,”

Sergey Tverdokhlebov, Associate Professor of the TPU Weinberg Research Center, tells the journalists of the RIA Novosti news agency.

According to the scientists, the structure of the film surface of copper alginate prevents attaching bacteria, microalgae and other organisms for which copper is toxic. Varying the volume of this metal in the film, it is possible to prepare a construction for operation in a certain environment taking into account its bioactivity.

In the long run, such films can be introduced in both shipbuilding and targeted drug delivery attaching required drug compounds to the film before implantation. It will allow reducing drug load to the organism and impeding contagion,”

Sergey Tverdokhlebov comments.

The research work was conducted jointly with experts of Harbin Institute of Technology (China).

A stray dog called Monica from Krasnodar has been mounted unique paw prostheses, which substituted limbs to the animal. Doctors of the BEST veterinary hospital in Novosibirsk performed a surgery. Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University applied a biocoating to the implants to prevent rejection and speed up regeneration.

The doctors from the BEST hospital closely cooperate with the TPU scientists. The scientists under the supervision of Sergey Tverdokhlebov, Associate Professor of the TPU Weinberg Research Center, developed calcium phosphate coatings for veterinary implants. These coatings were already used for prostheses of cats and dogs.

“It is the first surgery in the world to implant four bionic prostheses to a dog. The surgery was quite successful. Monica has already begun walking without any help and soon will be back to a normal life,”

“It is the first surgery in the world to implant four bionic prostheses to a dog. The surgery was quite successful. Monica has already begun walking without any help and soon will be back to a normal life,” Sergey Gorshkov, a veterinarian of the BEST hospital told the journalists of the Rossiyskaya Gazeta newspaper.

The stray dog that suffered from animal abusers was found in the small village of Plastunovskaya in Krasnodar Krai in December 2020. Animal rights activists adopted the animal and after long-term preparations brought Monica for the surgery to Siberia. The surgery was complicated due to the bone deformity of the dog.

The new paws were designed based on an individual digital model and printed from nickel-titanium-vanadium using a 3D printer. A special porous structure of the implants allows achieving ultimate osseointegration.

“To prevent rejection, the implants were applied by a special biocoating developed by the scientists from Tomsk. The biocoating makes the implant similar in its properties to a real bone. Such prostheses are rarely rejected and better taken by an organism, as well as speed up regeneration,” Sergey Gorshkov adds.

At the moment, Monica is walking outside and friendly wagging its tail. After osseointegration is finished, the dog will be ready to discharge from the hospital.

Monica’s story touched the famous British animal rights activist Casey, who stated that she was ready to take the dog to London.

Springer Nature, an international academic publishing company, has published a monograph of scientists of the Division of Power and Electrical Engineering of Tomsk Polytechnic University. The collection is dedicated to power transformer diagnostics, one of the main problems of modern power engineering.

The monograph entitled Transformers Condition Control. Advanced and Traditional Technologies presents the physical reasons for power transformers’ failures, technical and economic consequences of disruption of normal operation, standard technologies for monitoring the state of the high-voltage transformers, as well as monitors the condition of transformer windings based on the pulse method.

“Probing with nanosecond pulses is to apply a rectangular pulse to the winding of the inspected transformer, the duration of which is about 100 nanoseconds.

Alternatively to the basic method suggested in 1966 based on the pulses of microsecond duration (a microsecond is a millionth of a second ed. note) used in Russian electric power systems until the end of the twentieth century, we use a pulse lasting for hundreds of nanoseconds. The pulse is applied from a special oscillator to the input of the transformer winding, responses or signals are picked up from the adjacent windings. The analysis of these responses allows concluding a failure or absence of failure,”

Alexey Mytnikov, Associate Professor of the TPU Division of Power and Electrical Engineering, one of the monograph authors, the co-author of the article, explains the core of monitoring the condition by the pulse method.

By reducing the length of the probing pulse and penetrating in a nanosecond range, the scientists were able to improve the efficiency of the diagnostics. The sequential research on the transition to a single stage, when only the probing pulse and switching pulses of the network are used, according to the scientists, bring the diagnostics of windings to the next level. All the results mentioned in the monograph and the ways of their implementation are used for the first time.

“At the moment, the frequency response analysis is recognized the most advanced in the diagnostics. Definitely, it is a good analysis, however, possesses essential disadvantages. We have shown that probing with nanosecond pulses is not inferior and somewhere superior to the frequency response analysis. Taking into account that the frequency response analysis was created in North American countries, patents for this analysis do not belong to the domestic electric power systems, therefore there are some difficulties implementing the analysis in the Russian electric power systems. The diagnostics trajectory chosen by us is quite relevant and promising,” the scientist adds.

The book describes the stages of improving the method based on a short probing pulse of the nanosecond range, the results of experiments on identifying radial and axial displacements of the winding, studies of the effect of the duration and shape of the probing pulse on sensitivity, sequentially presents the diagnostic procedure, as well as the stages of developing a mathematical and physical model of a power transformer.

“Despite the relevance and topical nature of the problem, there are not so many such publications. In our opinion, we were able to deeply analyze a variety of methods and ways of power transformer diagnostics, find out the problems and suggest the ways of solving them. Moreover, the ways of solving the problems are simple and effective, which is essential for modern power engineering.

The analysis results show that there is no applicable method to control the state of active parts of transformer equipment. In our monograph, we suggested and described our approach to solve the problem, a so-called probing with nanosecond pulses,” Alexey Mytnikov explains.

The monograph volume published by Springer Nature in 2021 is 150 pages. The editing lasted for one year. Vasily Ushakov, Professor of the TPU Division of Power and Electrical Engineering, an honored worker in science and technology became an editor and leader of the research writers who compiled the book. The co-authors of the monograph are Alexey Mytnikov, a leading expert in high voltage engineering at the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Technical Physics (Moscow), Professor Valery Lavrinovich and Alexey Lavrinovich, a postgraduate student of Tomsk Research and Planning Institute of Oil and Gas.

An international research team, including the chemists from Tomsk Polytechnic University, proposed using a product based on silver nanoparticles to protect healthcare providers from COVID-19. It was successfully tested at the General Tijuana Hospital in Mexico. A total of 232 physicians and healthcare workers at the hospital who interacted with patients with the coronavirus disease took part in the voluntary trials. Only 1.8% of those who used the product fell ill or had a mild illness. Among those who did not use it, the illness rate was 28.2%. The research findings were published in PLOS ONE (IF: 3.24; Q1). The pharmaceutical product has also underwent a series of additional tests in an accredited laboratory in Spain.

Our international team includes both the university researchers from Tomsk Polytechnic University, the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and a number of other institutes in Mexico and Spain as well as the developers from the research and production private companies Vector-Vita (Novosibirsk) and Bionag (Mexico). We have been researching into the preparations based on silver nanoparticles for the past 20 years, and extensively advancing them both in Russia and abroad. We have developed a basic drug called Argovit, and launched its production in Novosibirsk,” says Alexey Pestryakov, professor at the Research School of Chemistry & Applied Biomedical Sciences of Tomsk Polytechnic University.

The developed drug is a concentrate containing silver clusters (nanoparticles) no larger than 35 nanometers in size, surrounded by a polymer shell made of polyvinylpyrrolidone or gelatin. It can be diluted and used to create gels, ointments, sprays and liquid medications.

“We hold a whole set of patents for the formula itself, the technology, and its use to treat a number of diseases. It so happens that our team has close ties with the Mexican scientific and medical community. Therefore, a number of studies are being conducted there. In this country, a drug based on Argovit is successfully used, for example, to prevent and treat a diabetic foot syndrome and a number of other human and farm animal diseases (cow mastitis, canine distemper, shrimp white spot syndrome, etc.). In Russia, there is a form of the drug certified as a prophylactic remedy for oral cavity treatment. Since the drug has already shown its high effectiveness against bacteria and viruses, with the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we assumed that it could be effective for this purpose as well,” explains the professor.

The Tijuana study was conducted over nine weeks in the spring of 2020. It involved two groups of healthcare workers. In the first one, 114 employees gargled their nose and throat twice a day with a solution containing silver nanoparticles. The second group of 117 people did not do it. Both groups used regular personal protective equipment for a covid hospital – masks, protective suits, etc.

“As a result, only two cases of infection were confirmed in the first group; those who fell ill had a mild form of the disease. In the control group, which included the healthcare staff of the hospital who did not use the Argovita solution, 33 employees out of 117 fell ill with COVID-19, i.e. 28.2%,”

says Alexey Pestryakov. In order to publish the research findings in the journal, we conducted a number of additional in vitro studies in Spain. Unfortunately, it took almost a year to publish the results. This is the reality that all drug researchers face, despite the urgency of the issue”.

The agent used in the study falls into the category of colloidal silver preparations.

“Silver belongs to the class of heavy metals, hence as regards its use in medicine, it is rightly subject to stringent requirements for toxicity. The peculiarity of colloidal silver drugs is that their effectiveness and safety depend on many factors: the size of nanoparticles, their shape, the polymer shell used. The creator of each particular drug has to prove the efficacy and safety of the substance. We have gone all this way before. The substance itself and the drugs based on it have an extensive scientific evidence base for safety and efficacy. We have published over 80 scientific articles with the research results, obtained over 20 patents and patent applications. The research proves that in therapeutic doses the drug is not toxic,” the researcher says.

According to an expert, Mexico is now in the process of registering the drug for use as a prophylactic remedy against COVID-19.

“Our ultimate goal is to eventually use the drug in therapy and, of course, in our country. This summer, the medical institute of the North Caucasus State Academy in the city of Cherkessk conducted a study of the drug with the voluntary participation of 92 patients with COVID-19 in mild and moderate forms.

They were all treated with a standard therapy for this disease, however the inhalations with our drug twice a day were additionally included in the treatment regimen. The obtained results proved the increase of therapy efficiency when including nanosilver drug in the complex treatment regimen for COVID-19, at least for its mild and non-neglected forms of the disease. The treatment periods were shortened by an average of four days,” adds Alexey Pestryakov.

Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University are conducting research on electromechanical transients in type-III and type-IV wind power plants, as well as their impact on the inertia of an energy system in general and algorithms of virtual inertia. The TPU scientists are intending to develop a methodology for adjusting automation devices to prevent emergencies taking into account the impact of renewable sources of energy on inertia change in the energy system. The research is supported by a grant from the President of the Russian Federation.

Conventional energy systems possess experience in proven power system protection, which allows controlling emergencies and responding to them on time. Electrical equipment (gas-turbine units, renewable energy systems) equipped in the modern energy systems significantly changes their dynamic properties, i.e. increases the speed of the process due to inertia reduction.

“The next types of wind power plants introduced in Europe and the USA in large scale make a less contribution to the total inertia of the energy system as they connect to the energy system via voltage converters. Over 50% of the German energy system is based on renewable sources of energy, while over 80% is in Denmark.

“The next types of wind power plants introduced in Europe and the USA in large scale make a less contribution to the total inertia of the energy system as they connect to the energy system via voltage converters. Over 50% of the German energy system is based on renewable sources of energy, while over 80% is in Denmark.

Although, wide-area stability control systems in such plants can be insensitive to rapid changes,” says Igor Razzhivin, Associate Professor of the TPU Division of Power and Electrical Engineering.

The TPU scientists conducted a series of experiments using a teaching model similar to the energy system of Tomsk Oblast. They simulated emergencies (short circuit, load shedding and so on) ranging the introduction level of capacity of the wind power plants. The experiments showed that after the introduction of the wind power plants in the energy systems, inertia could be decreased up to 50% depending on the introduced capacity.

“A popular method of risk calculation and estimation is mathematical modeling. There is a fundamental problem affecting the fidelity of process reproduction. Therefore, we used a TPU development in the research work, a multiprocessor hardware and software system entitled All-mode Real-time Simulation Facility of an Electric Power System. The construction principles of the model of the energy system which are laid down in the TPU development guarantee the fidelity of solution,” the scientist explains.

The scientists also conducted a series of experiments with the algorithm of virtual inertia, which overseas colleagues consider as a probable solution to decreasing inertia problems. The core of the algorithm lays in the synthetic maintenance of inertia due to an additional control system of voltage converters. The research showed that in case of a change of the capacity level and adjustment coefficients, the algorithm can show a negative effect.

“It is a relevant problem for Russia, as renewable sources of energy are gradually being introduced in the united energy system. Wind and solar power plants are currently being introduced in the southern part of Russia. There are plans to introduce plants of total capacity up to 1 GW (this capacity is equal to four state district power plant No. 2 in Tomsk).

There are plans to introduce plants of total capacity up to 1 GW (this capacity is equal to four state district power plant No. 2 in Tomsk).

The process of plant connection to the energy system is complicated and requires detailed prior research. Such problems related to inertia changes in the energy system and the problems of inertia changes are not solved in the Russian energy industry yet,” Igor Razzhivin explains.

The TPU scientists are intending to create a universal specialized accelerated processing unit, which will simulate and reproduce type-III and type-IV wind power plants and a solar power plant. Based on this model and the TPU simulating energy complex, the scientists will create a large energy system. Its advantage will become a hybrid approach: digital, analogue and physical simulation. Due to it, it will be possible to minimize an error and in more detail study the impact of renewable sources of energy on the energy system in general.

The research work is being conducted within the grant of the President of the Russian Federation and will last for two years. The staff of the TPU the Division of Power and Electrical Engineering: Associate Professor Igor Razzhivin and two postgraduates Vladimir Rudnik and Anton Kievets are conducting the research work.

Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University have created a concept of all-mode verification of calculations of modes and processes in smart grids, which is based on information from a model standard. Within the concept, they formed accuracy classes of mathematical models of modern devices of flexible alternating current transmission systems (FACTS) and high-voltage, direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission systems, as well as renewable sources of energy. It was required for complete and reliable solutions to practical tasks in power engineering.

Solving the problem of all-mode verification of information obtained in the result of numeral calculations contributes to increasing an accident rate, the most essential reliability and efficiency indexes of grid operation.

“According to the statistics of system accidents in the global power engineering, about half of these accidents are related to the use of ill-founded calculation data obtained using conventional methods of modelling. The situation is becoming worse because of the modern tendencies to complication of grids due to the introduction of renewable generation, FACTS and HVDC devices, as well as the change and complication of operation modes and processes in grids,”

explains Alexey Suvorov, Associate Professor of the TPU Division of Power and Electrical Engineering.

The scientists proposed to use the model standard of a grid to increase the completeness and reliability of calculations. A freely configurable developed multimodular complex for real-time simulation of grids of any dimensions and topology is used as the model standard. The complex was created due to a hybrid approach to modelling complicated dynamical systems, which was proposed and being developed at TPU.

The developed concept of verification based on the hybrid model standard is unique and does not possess any alternatives in the global energy industry. Using the concept, the scientists already formed the accuracy classes of mathematical models of modern devices of FACTS and HVDC, as well as renewable sources of energy. The research work was conducted within the grant of the Russian Science Foundation.

Students of the TPU School of Nuclear Science and Engineering became participants of the II Youth Forum “Russia-Africa: Nuclear Education for Sustainable Development”, which was held at the Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University).

The Forum was arranged by the Rosatom State Corporation and RUDN University within the agreement signed at the Russia-Africa Summit in Sochi in 2019. The event was dedicated to searching for new forms of cooperation in the sustainable development of African countries via the promotion of nuclear education, which allows implementing the potential of youth in high-tech areas of science and technology in resident countries.

Tomsk Polytechnic University became a coordinator of the thematic section “Nuclear Medicine Today and Tomorrow”. The students from African countries studying the program of Nuclear Science and Technology at TPU were speakers representing the university with their online reports.

“The section work was dedicated to practice-oriented training of Russian and international staff in nuclear medicine within the programs of sustainable development. Among the presented reports, for instance, there were development and production of radiopharmaceutical of the next generation, digital technology in medicine, advancement of methods and technology in radiation therapy and diagnostics,” says Vera Verkhoturova, Deputy Director of the TPU School of Nuclear Science and Engineering and Head of International Nuclear Education Programs.

Irina Svyato, Adviser to Director General of Rusatom Healthcare JSC and Mr Vincent Humbulani, Head of the Department of Radiation Therapy at the Academic Hospital of the University of Pretoria (South Africa) were moderators of the section.

The future of many countries and peoples lies behind the Forum topic. Forum participants can make a significant contribution to their prosperity. The Forum is dedicated to the search for new forms of cooperation in the sustainable development of African countries. First of all, it is search for news forms via promotion of nuclear education. It regards promising areas in higher education, training of highly qualified staff in nuclear technology for countries of the African continent.  It is required to focus on how not to lose the tempo in conditions of the pandemic and decreased mobility,” Vladimir Filippov, President of RUDN University and Academician of the Russian Academy of Education, addressed the Forum participants.
