ABSTRACT
It has been shown that exposure to weak combined permanent (42 mT) and low-frequency (3-60 Hz) alternating (0.001-0.06 mT) magnetic fields changes the intensity of fluorescence of water and water-salt solutions. The gel filtration of solutions of inorganic salts treated with magnetic fields gives rise to intensively fluorescing fractions. Control solutions not exposed to electromagnetic waves do not exhibit these effects. The results obtained suggest that treatment with weak electromagnetic fields induces structural changes of water solutions, and the manifestations of these changes depend on the conditions of chromatography and chemical composition of solutions under study.

During the last 5 years 132 patients underwent frontal-ethmoidal trepanation. Recurrences were observed in 27 (20%) patients with nonspecific immune deficiency, frequent respiratory viral infections and microbial virulence. The major cause of recurrences was inadequacy of the frontal-nasal ostium. Recurrences occurred more frequently in patients with orbital and intracranial complications of frontitis, traumatic frontitis, and abnormal anatomic relations of the frontal and ethmoidal sinuses. It is recommended to carry out postoperative conservative therapy including antibacterial, antiedematous, desensitizing drugs as well as drugs stabilizing immunity and microcirculation. It is also recommended to follow-up patients during a year after frontal-ethmoidal trepanation because recurrent episodes occur mostly during this time period.

The antigravitational m. triceps brachii, its antagonist m. brachialis and the muscle having a universal functional specialization--m. serratus ventralis--have been studied in 35 male rats of Wistar strain, 60-105-day-old. Succinate dehydrogenase activity is determined in muscle fibers. Changes in the muscle fibers continue after the rats reach their sex maturation. Certain stageness of the process is observed, but the division of the period into separate steps either is absent (m. brachials), or their number is not great as compared to those during the 1st--60th days after birth. The borders of the periods in the muscles studied coinside (the 70th--74th day). Although it is possible to reveal the periods and separate steps in the changes occurring in the muscle fibers and in the muscles of the animals having reached their sex maturation, nevertheless, the borders between them are not distinct, the reconstruction during this age proceeds slower and more smoothely than before the sex maturation. It is possible that in young rats after sex maturation differentiation of the muscle fibers continues and that, in its turn, stimulates further specialization of the muscles as organs. The changes in the muscle fibers revealed histochemically occur most slowly under a low static loading, and when loading of various modality (kinetic and static) are combined, they are mostly pronounced.

Changes in the osteo-articular apparatus of the type of degenerative-dystrophic affections with a cystoid reconstruction, deforming osteoarthrosis, osteoartrhopathy, etc. were revealed in roentgenological examination of 60% of 65 patients suffering from diabetes mellitus examined. Changes in the osteo-articular apparatus were mostly revealed in elderly patients with diabetes of moderate severity and severe in combination with angio- and neuropathies and sensitivity disturbances. The detected changes, except diabetic osteoarthropathy were apparently nonspecific and subject to further study.
