[Atmospheric electromagnetic field oscillations and the nature of the proliferative process in the focus of acute inflammation]. / Ostsilliatsii élektromagnitnogo polia atmosfery i kharakter proliferativnogo protsessa v ochage ostrogo vospaleniia.

Experiments were conducted on 300 rats kept in a warm room (16-18 degrees C) in the cold season of a year to study the influence of a signal effect of atmospheric processes, namely changes in of atmospheric electricity parameters, on the early proliferative reactions in a focus of acute inflammation. The results of 50 experiments on which a geomagnetic storm was superimposed were excluded form the analysis subsequently. Inflammation was modelled by implanting a 3 x 4-mm piece of a cover glass under the skin. Following 48 hours the number of hematogenic and histiogenic cells superimposed on one surface of the implanted glass was counted. These were fibroblasts, macrophages, polynuclear and giant cells. An analysis showed that frosty weather, the existence and direction of a wind, atmospheric-electrical processes preceding the passage of meteorological fronts influenced the nature of proliferative responses. The authors revealed the efficacy of electromagnetic screening of the animals, which mitigated the effect of the atmospheric electromagnetic waves.

[Effects of surface-active substances with antistatic properties on several immunity indices]. / Vliianie poverkhnostno-aktivnykh veshchestv s antistaticheskimi svoistvami na nekotorye pokazateli immuniteta.

In experiments performed on rats, it was established that the antibodies' formation was stimulated as a result of a combination of staphylococcal anatoxin or E. coli vaccine immunization with the administration of the non-ionogenic surface-active substances (SAS) Stearox-920 and OC-20. Those SAS proved to have immunostimulating properties, and Stearox-920 was more effective. Another experimental study revealed a growing bactericide activity of the skin, which could be seen from the rate of its self-cleaning from the standard E. coli suspension.

[Risk factors of the development of the changes in the nervous system after exposure to chromium]. / Faktory riska razvitiia izmenenii nervnoi sistemy pri deistvii na organizm khroma.

Due to the mathematical method of maximum probability it was established that under long-term chromium exposure possible factors of risk of changes in the workers' nervous system were as follows: hereditary and familial predisposition to allergic and vegetovascular disorders, negative Rh, the haptoglobin type 2-2 and the peculiarities of the major cerebral hemisphere functioning manifested by the decrease of sensomotor dominance. There was developed an estimating and prognostic table which made it possible to identify groups with adverse and favourable health forecast and to carry out necessary differentiated curative and preventive activities.

[Haptoglobin types among the population of western Kazakhstan and their relation to humoral factors of body resistance]. / Tipy gaptoglobina sredi naseleniia Zapadnogo Kazakhstana i ikh vzaimosviaz' a nekotorymi gumoral'nymi faktorami rezistentnosti organizma.

Among 803 healthy persons examined, 20.4% of Russians and 18.1% of Kazakhs had Hp 1-1 phenotype, 50.0 and 49.3%, respectively, had Hp 2-1 and 29.6 and 32.6% had Hp 2-2 phenotype. The frequency of Hp1 and Hp2 genes is 0.455 and 0.429, 0.545 and 0.571 (p less than 0.05) for Russians and Kazakhs, respectively. The correlation is established between the haptoglobin type and the level of haemolysins. For example, the latter is greater in number in the organisms of persons possessing the Hp2 gene, especially, when in homozygotic state.

[Taste sensitivity for phenylthiocarbamide among the population of western Kazakhstan]. / Vkusovaia chuvstvitel'nost' k feniltiokarbamidu sredi naseleniia Zapadnogo Kazakhstana.

The sensitivity to phenyl thiocarbamide was studied in 405 people of Kazakh nationality and in 161 people of Russian nationality (males and females), the students of the Institute. 23.9% of the former proved non-sensitive, the gene frequency "t" being 0.490. Among the latter these values were 28.6% and 0.535, respectively.
