Elderly people are also vulnerable to infections that their immune systems are encountering for the first time. This is particularly true of flu viruses, which mutate into new strains every year. This loss of primary immunity results from a decline in the body's limited stock of "virgin" T cells – immune cells responsible for spotting foreign molecules (antigens) that the body has never come across before. At the same time, elderly people are more prone to autoimmune diseases, where the immune system attacks the body – for instance in rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's.
These are some of the outward signs of ageing, but what happens at the molecular level? Here there is a paradox. It turns out that two of the most important substances for life do most of the damage: oxygen and sugar. Aerobic respiration, in which oxygen is used to break down complex organic molecules such as fat and carbohydrate to release energy, produces highly reactive by-products called free radicals. These have the potential to wreak havoc, particularly in the vicinity of mitochondria, where respiration occurs. Sugars can also harm vital molecules as glucose binds to proteins. The effects can be seen anywhere in the body where these proteins are found, especially in the arteries, tendons, ligaments and the lungs. | Translation - Russian
Пожилые люди также беззащитны перед лицом инфекций, с которыми их иммунные системы сталкиваются впервые. Это особенно верно для штаммов вирусов гриппа, которые видоизменяются каждый год. Эта потеря первичного иммунитета происходит из-за снижения ограниченного запаса «девственных» Т-клеток – иммуноцитов, ответственных за отслеживание инородных молекул (антигенов), с которыми организм никогда прежде не сталкивался. В то же время, пожилые люди больше предрасположены к аутоиммунным болезням, когда иммунная система сама поражает организм – как, например, в случае с ревматоидным артритом и болезнью Альцгеймера.
Таковы некоторые внешние признаки старения, но что происходит на молекулярном уровне? В этом и заключается парадокс. Оказывается, самый большой вред причиняют два самых важных для жизнедеятельности вещества: кислород и сахар. Аэробное дыхание, в котором кислород используется для разложения сложных органических молекул, таких как жир и углеводы, с целью высвобождения энергии, вырабатывает высоко реагентные побочные продукты, называемые свободными радикалами. Они имеют потенциальную возможность вносить разрушение, в частности, поблизости от митохондрий, где происходит дыхание. Сахар также способен причинять вред жизненно важным молекулам, поскольку глюкоза связывается с протеинами. Этот эффект может быть обнаружен по всему телу, где есть протеины, особенно в артериях, сухожилиях, связках и легких. | | English to Russian: Technology | Source text - English
Each tiny capsule contains white granules suspended in a dark, oily liquid. When an electrode in the upper surface is given a negative charge, it attracts granules towards it, making the surface appear white. Reverse the polarity and the granules are pulled to the bottom, revealing the dark liquid and making the surface appear black. The spaces between electrodes are small enough to give a resolution of 300 monochrome dots per inch (dpi).
To create a full colour display they laid a fine coloured filter across the top of the monochrome display - the same trick that lends colour to LCDs. The firm admits it's not an elegant approach. "This route gets us on the market quickly, since it uses technology that already exists," explains Button. E Ink developed the colour technology with Japanese printing company Toppan, which makes transparent colour filters for LCD displays. | Translation - Russian
Каждая крошечная капсула содержит белые гранулы, плавающие в темной, маслянистой жидкости. Когда электрод в верхнем слое получает отрицательный заряд, он притягивает к себе гранулы, делая поверхность белой. Обратная полярность заставляет гранулы опускаться, открывая темную жидкость и делая поверхность черной. Расстояние между электродами является достаточно малым, чтобы создать разрешение в 300 монохромных точек на дюйм.
Для создания многоцветного дисплея, на монохромный дисплей был наложен тонкий цветной фильтр – это прием, который придает цвет жидкокристаллическим дисплеям. Компания признает, что это не очень элегантный подход к решению проблемы. «Этот способ позволяет нам быстро выйти на рынок, поскольку он использует уже существующую технологию», объясняет Батон. «Э-Инк» разработала цветную технологию совместно с японской полиграфической компанией «Топпан», которая производит прозрачные цветные фильтры для жидкокристаллических дисплеев. |
