[Influence of hyperbaric stress on metabolic reactions of the organism of divers, prevention].

Research of metabolic rates is conducted in a blood of the subjects whose professional work is connected with the systematic implementation of diving on the large and medium depths. For restoration of working capacity and preservation of health of divers was carried pharmacological prophylaxis with supplementation "Kalifen", which is the total polyphenol complex isolated from viburnum (Viburnum sargentii Koehne). The blood plasma of divers, investigated after a dive, there was hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia, the suppression of esterified liver function, an imbalance of fractional content of phospholipids, the strain of antioxidant defense of an organism and increased lipid peroxidation. Preventive administration supplementation "Kalifen" for 2 months before the dive will help remove metabolic disorders caused by hyperbaric factors, and also to store up of anabolic reserves and increase body resistance level in extreme conditions.

[Application of food supplement, of a duilder-rose for prevention of stressful disturbance of physiological and biochemical characteristics of erythrocytes].

In the article results of researches of influence of food supplement allocated of a guelder-rose (Viburnum sargentii Koehne) on structural and physiological characteristics of erythrocytes are presented to blood of the doctors-surgeons who are exposed during of the working day to complex stressful influence (psychologic-emotional, chemical, intensity of labour process, etc). It is shown that preventive application a polyphenolic complex from a guelder-rose promoted restoration of average volume and diameter of erythrocytes, normalization of a parity of quantitative structure of neutral lipids and phospholipids, to preservation of permeability of membranes. The food supplement allocated of a guelder-rose can be used in a treatment and prophylactic feed.

[Prevention of abnormal physiological and biochemical characteristics of red blood cells in carbon disulfide intoxication].

Experimental studies were conducted on 4 groups of 10 rats each: 1) intact animals (a control group); 2) inhalation of carbon disulfide at a concentration of 2.0 mg/m3 for 7 days; 3) prophylactic administration of the hepatoprotective agent Legalon (100 mg/kg of total polyphenols), followed by carbon disulfide inhalation for 7 days; 4) prophylactic administration of the biologically active additive Kalifen (100 mg/kg of total polyphenols for 7 days), followed by carbon disulfide inhalation. Animal survival after carbon disulfide inhalation was 80%; preadministration of Legalon or Kalifen increased survival up to 100%. Carbon disulfide inhalation was attended by abnormal size features of red blood cells, impairments in the antioxidant defense system and the ratio of phospholipid fractions to neutral lipids. Preadministration of Legalon or Kalifen before inhalation contributes to less abnormalities in the study physiological and biochemical parameters of erythrocyte membranes.

[Biologically active additives in health prophylaxis of medical workers].

The aim of the investigation was to use the biologically active additive (BAD) Kalifen to prevent metabolic disturbances in medical workers during their occupational activity. Female physicians aged 40-50 years were examined. Group 1 (control) included 20 age-matched healthy female donors. Group 2 comprised 27 female physicians (anesthesiologists and surgeons) daily exposed to stresses (chemical, psychoemotional, work-related, etc.) who were asked after blood biochemical tests to daily take the BAD Kalifen in a dose of 2.5 ml after a meal (they made up Group 3), which is equal to the daily prophylactic dose in 100 mg of total polyphenols. The plasma tested before an experiment showed hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia, suppressed hepatic etherifying function, imbalance of the fractional content of phospholipids, exhaustion of the antioxidative system, increased lipid peroxidation, and impaired erythrocytic membrane permeability. The prophylactic use of the BAD Kalifen eliminates stress-induced metabolic disturbances and increases occupational and biological longevity in the able-bodied population.

[Preventing stress changes in lipid content of RBC membranes in students under academic load].

The authors proved that using functional nutritional product "Biolad-kalina" fruit jellies containing biologically active addition "Kalifen" resulted in restored antioxidant and antiradical defence, lipid complexes ratio in RBC membranes disordered by stress, during academic load in students.
