[The gas chromatographic analysis of volatile compounds on the compact MKhP chromatograph]. / Gazokhromatograficheskii analiz letuchikh soedinenii na malogabaritnom khromatografe MKhP.

Methods of analysis of biological specimens, alcohol beverages, and technological liquids in columns with standard adsorbents carbopaque B and C with carbowax 20M, widely used abroad, are described and examples of analyses presented. A special portable chromatographer (MCP) with flame ionization detector has been designed. It is intended for analysis of volatile organic compounds (alcohols, carbohydrates, organochlorine compounds, glycols, esters, etc.) in columns of different polarity. The system of processing of chromatographic findings permits a quantitative analysis of complex chromatograms and automated identification of substances in biological samples by using the available database.

[Characteristics of endemic foci of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in various regions of the USSR]. / K kharakteristike éndemicheskikh ochagov gemorragicheskoi likhoradki s pochechnym sindromom v raznykh regionakh SSSR.

Clinical, epizootological, and laboratory data for 9 endemic foci of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) were compared. The analysis covered 5120 cases of HFRS. It was established that in the foci, where the leading role is played by field mouse and Japanese field mouse, HFRS is caused by the 1st serotype of HFRS virus, and the clinical course of the disease is quite severe. In the natural foci with the predominance of redbacked vole, the 2nd serotype of the virus circulates and the disease is of moderate severity or mild. In each individual case, however, both serotypes of the virus may produce both mild and severe diseases.
