ABSTRACT
Seventy-one subjects entered this study. The control group consisted of 12 healthy subjects, the comparative group included 15 patients who received standard therapy of vascular diseases but without physiotherapy. The study group consisted of 44 patients whose treatment was supplemented with laser irradiation. Angiography, ultrasonic dopplerography, laser flowmetry, oxygenometry were applied for control of treatment efficacy. Regional ischemia was evaluated with detection of pO2 of foot. LT increased oxygenation of foot soft tissues in patients with low primary pO2 and decreased in ones with higher. As a result the number of patients with low pO2 (0 < pO2 < 20) decreased from 13.7 to 4.5%, with middle pO2 (20 < pO2 < 40) increased from 27.3 to 50.0%, with high pO2 (pO2 = 40) decreased from 59.0 to 45.5%. Redistribution in favor of 20 < pO2 < 40 is regarded as normalizing effect of LT. It is concluded that LT increases oxygenation of foot soft tissues in patients with low primary pO2 and decreased in ones with higher.

Technique of slow-motion shot was used for simultaneous automatic recording of behaviour of sturgeon species Acipenser nudiventris and its hybrid with white sturgeon, Huso huso. The hybrids and the individuals of the paternal species were placed in two separate aquaria under the conditions of constant light. Cinematographic recording was performed each hour throughout 3 days during 30 s per hour. Significant differences between two kinds of sturgeons were found in the locomotor activity, trajectory of swimming, the average value and circadian rhythm of the swimming speed. The hybrid individuals swim faster and display a high peak of night activity. This puts them close to the maternal species, white sturgeon, and gives evidence of the maternal inheritance of these traits.
