[Features of B group vitamin metabolism and criteria for providing them to children suffering from celiac disease]. / Osoobennosti obmena vitaminov gruppy B i kriterii obespechennosti imi detei, stradaiushchikh tseliakiei.

The investigation into the relationship between the concentration of vitamins B, the blood activity of vitamin B-dependent enzymes and the urinary excretion of their metabolites in 14 children of both sexes whose age was 4.5-10 years and who suffered from celiac disease has characterized their metabolic features. The criteria for vitamin B1 provision of these children differ from those in healthy children of the same age: the normal value of TDP effects is achieved with higher thiamine excretion which is more than 12 micrograms/h. Apparently, the plasma concentration of riboflavin greater than 14 ng/ml and its urinary excretion 6 micrograms/h should be taken as a criterion for normal vitamin B2 provision. Though due to a small proportion of the examined children, criteria for vitamin B6 and nicotinic acid could not be defined. The excretion of 4-pyridoxylic acid in the whole concentration ranges of pyridoxylic coenzymes in the plasma of sick children was essentially lower than that in healthy persons.

[The rate of isolation of fungi in the genus Candida from the nasopharyngeal mucosa of the those in contact with the products from microbial protein manufacture]. / Vysevaemost' gribov roda Candida so slizistoi nosoglotki u kontaktiruiushchikh s produktami proizvodstva mibrobnogo belka.

In the mycological study of the air in working rooms at enterprises for the production of paprin and in the airspace of residential areas, as well as the study of the fungal contamination of the upper respiratory ways in workers and residents of the development zone, the isolation rate of the production fungal strains of the genus Candida from the nasopharynx was shown to depend on their content in the air. In the absence of producer microorganisms in the atmospheric air they were not detected among the population. The detection of yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida on the pharyngeal mucosa is of sanitary demonstrative importance for the evaluation of the specific microbial contamination of the air in working rooms and the air space of the development zone. When the stable work of gas purification systems was ensured at modern enterprises for the production of protein vitamin concentrate no production strains were detected in the atmospheric air of the development zone and on the nasopharyngeal mucosa of the residents, which was indicative of the absence of any influence of gas and air discharges from these enterprises on the microbial contamination of the airspace.

[Protective properties of moose's milk and perspectives of its use in pediatric gastroenterology]. / Zashchitnye svoistva losinogo moloka i perspektiva ego ispozovaniia v detskoi gastroénterologii.

The authors studied microbe dissemination, lysozyme activity and antacid properties in some samples of native, pasteurized and boiled moose's milk. A relationship was demonstrated between the buffer properties of moose's milk and its lysozyme activity. It is advisable that moose's milk be used in combined therapy and for prevention of gastroenterologic diseases in children.

[Possibility of using a protein enteral feeding preparation in the overall therapy of peptic ulcer in children]. / Vozmozhnost' primeneniia belkovogo énpita v kompleksnoi terapii iazvennoi bolezni u detei.

A protein-rich diet for children with peptic ulcer has been developed. The diet includes a new dietetic product--the proteinic enpit, prepared by the Institute of Nutrition of the AMS of the USSR. The effect of the diet in children with peptic ulcer at the time of exacerbation of the process was subjected to a complex study. This ration is shown to have a beneficial influence on basic symptoms of the affection, on the condition of the protein metabolism and reduces the period of the ulcerous defect cicatrization.
