[Chemical-toxicological characteristic property of organochlorine pesticide transformation products formed under the effect of intensive fluxes of gamma-irradiation]. / Khimiko-toksikologicheskaia kharakteristika produktov prevrashcheniia khlororganicheskikh pestitsidov, obrazuiushchikhsia pri vozdeistvii intensivnykh potokov gamma-izlucheniia.

The results of formation of stable products of organochlorinated pesticides (OCP) under gamma-irradiation (dose 10 kGy, dose rate 0.026, 0.14 kGy/min) are discussed in the article. The model solutions of alpha-,gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane (alpha-,gamma-HCH), p,p-dichlorodiphenyl-trichloroethane (p,p-DDT) and p,p-dichlorophenyl-dichloroethylene (DDE), with initial concentrations of 1.0-0.1 ppm, were exposed to gamma-radiation. Among the products of OCP radiolysis such compounds as DDE, 2,2-di(chlorophenyl)-1-chloroethylene, dichlorophenyl-dichloroethane and various isomers of HCH were found. It was shown that taking in account the whole data on the formed metabolites the toxicological characteristics of pesticide solutions cannot be improved by exposure to gamma-radiation.

[Stability of model solutions of organochlorine pesticides under the effect of gamma-radiation]. / Issledovanie stabil'nosti model'nykh rastvorov khlororganicheskikh pestitsidov pod vliianiem gamma-izlucheniia.

The effect of concentration (0.01; 0.1; 1 ppm), polarity of solvent (hexane and 2-propanol), dose rate of gamma-irradiation (0.026; 0.042; 0.14 kGy/min) on a radiation degradation degree of organochlorinated pesticides (OCP) is discussed in this article. The conditions of maximal degradation of model solutions of OCP under gamma-irradiation are determines, based on the results obtained.

[The clinico-psychological aspects in the decompensation of the initial forms of a cerebral vascular lesion]. / Kliniko-psikhologicheskie aspekty dekompensatsii nachal'nykh form sosudistogo porazheniia golovnogo mozga.

Clinico-neurological, instrumental and psychological methods were used to examine 35 patients at the of 55-70 years with early stages of cerebrovascular insufficiency. It was found out that subjective signs of cerebral vascular disorders were likely to be due to nonspecific cerebral dysfunction and associated with psychical dysadaptation. The degree of memory and attention disorders negatively correlated with intensity of mental activity. The results of the work may be used in prophylaxis of decompensation of cerebrovascular pathology.

[The comparative efficacy of the treatment at Sochi of women with inflammatory diseases of the lesser pelvis who live in different climatic and geographical regions of Russia]. / Sravnitel'naia éffektivnost' lecheniia v Sochi zhenshchin s vospalitel'nymi zabolevaniiami organov malogo taza, prozhivaiushchikh v razlichnykh klimatogeograficheskikh regionakh Rossii.

225 females of reproductive age were treated in Sochi for inflammatory diseases of the small pelvis. The patients underwent climate, balneological, laser treatments and received thymogen. Therapeutic results estimated clinically, by adaptive responses, protein metabolism, proteolysis and ceruloplasmin activity, concentrations of proteolysis inhibitors and middle-mass molecules were analyzed with respect to the patients' residence and the season of their stay in the sanatorium. The best results in warm seasons were achieved in women from south regions. In northerners and some residents of middle Russia there were adaptive failures. For them, cool seasons were more advantageous. The authors recommend cool Sochi weather for treatment of small pelvis diseases in women living in the north, south and middle Russia.

[Functional radiothermometry in the diagnosis of the autonomic dystonia syndrome]. / Funktsional'naia radiotermometriia v diagnostike sindroma vegetativnoi distonii.

The purpose of the study was to examine potentialities of functional radiothermometry in the diagnosis of a syndrome of vegetodystonia. 56 patients with vegetodystonia and 31 practically healthy subjects were examined. All the test subjects underwent the thermal radiothermometry test with the heating of the right hand and forearm in water bath at a temperature of 45-46 degrees C for 5 min and simultaneous recording of the temperature of the fingers of the intact hand. Analysis of the results demonstrated the predominance of manifest positive and negative temperature reactions in patients with vegetodystonia. In this patients' group, anxiety and hypochondria were encountered less frequently than in persons with moderate temperature deviations. Introduction of radiothermometry and psychological methods of examination allow planning the treatment in accordance with the signs of vascular and psychoemotional disadaptation.

[Features of disorders of higher cortical function in patients with incipient cerebral atherosclerosis]. / Osobennosti rasstroistv vysshikh korkovykh funktsii u bol'nykh s nachal'nym tserebral'nym aterosklerozom.

The findings from a neuropsychological study of 95 patients with initial cerebral atherosclerosis were analyzed. Higher cortical dysfunctions were revealed most commonly while examining acoustic and optic gnosis and mnemonic functions as well as in tests involving calculation operations and tasks requiring active and stable attention and intact spatial orientation. The factors causing these disorders vary in incipient manifestations of the compromised brain circulation versus early dyscirculatory encephalopathy. In patients with initial manifestations of impaired cerebral circulation, disorders of higher cortical functions are associated with disturbances of voluntary attention whereas dyscirculatory encephalopathy leads to dysfunctions of the gnostic systems, disorders of neural processes mobility and modal-specific mnemonic impairments. It is possible to trace the time-course of these disturbances ranging from mild defects of the higher cortical functions organization due to the impairment of voluntary attention to the dysfunction of the integrated hemisphere systems, arising from the inadequacy of their blood supply.
