[Rapid diagnosis of the depth of burns in the first few days after trauma]. / Ekspress-diagnostika glubiny ozhoga v pervye dni posle travmy.

An original method of express diagnostics of the burn depth during first days after trauma is described which used an infrared probe based on different ability of healthy and burned skin with different depths of the burn to reflect infrared rays. A description of clinical tests of the method is given, their reliability was 94.2%.

[Mechanism of initiation of intracellular ice formation]. / Issledovanie mekhanizma initsiirovaniia vnutrikletochnogo l'doobrazovaniia.

Intracellular ice crystallization was studied by the method of cryomicroscopy in the systems modeling a biological suspension, such as erythrocyte concentrates. Initiation of crystallization by extracellular ice through hydrophilic channels has been shown to be the most probable mechanism of intracellular ice formation.

[Possible use of exponential regimens of cooling in biological cryopreservation]. / O vozmozhnosti ispol'zovaniia éksponentsial'nykh rezhimov okhlazhdenia pri kriokonservirovanii biologicheskikh ob''ektov.

On the basis of the analysis of the described cooling regime of biological objects during low temperature preservation it is suggested that an optimal regime should have non-linear dependence of the rate of temperature change in time. By approximation of several experimental cooling regimes it is found that the exponential description of this process is the most correct. Advantages of using the exponential cooling regime instead of the linear ones during their optimization are grounded. The theoretical premises of the exponential cooling regime realization are described.
