[Composition and clinical use of bovine colostrums].

In recent years, a large number of the researches giving fuller picture about structure and properties of bovine colostrums (BC), that allows to apply it at various diseases in clinical practice was carried out in the world. The critical analysis of the modern literature showed bovine colostrums is rich with immunoglobulins, antimicrobials and growth factors in comparison with nature milk. The positive effect of supplementation of bovine colostrums in diarrhea in persons with immune-deficiency syndromes, for treatment NSAID-induced gastrointestinal disturbances, at postoperative responses and in treatment of upper respiratory infection is supposed.

[Influence of specialized protein food products on functional status of wrestlers].

Influence of system of protein and amino acid rehabilitation on a functional condition of wrestlers is studied. It is established that the offered system has a wide range of adaptogenic. Found that the proposed system and actoprotective activity shows immunoprotective effect on the humoral immune system, accelerates processes of restoration after physical activity, provides a gain of working capacity, and also promotes adaptation of cardiovascular system for physical exercise.

[Development of new sinbiotic product with high contents bifidobacteria].

The article informs about influence of gum arabic, baker's yeast extract, solids-non-fat and mixture of gum arabic and insoluble wheat fibres (Equacia) on the amount of bifidobacteria in the milk.

[Bioactive substance used for treatment and preventive maintenance of liver diseases].

In the present article the review of bioactive substances rendering beneficial effect on an organism at diseases of a liver is resulted. Action of such classes of bioactive substances as amino acids and their derivatives, vitamins, macro- and microelements, herbal bioactive substances, cytamins is described. Bioactive substances can be used in manufacture food supplements or foodstuffs of a medical and prophylactic feed.

[Medical-biological aspects of creation and application of special-purpose protein products for sportsmen].

The article briefly sheds light on problems of creation and application of special-purpose protein products--nutritional cocktails and drinks--in nutrition for sportsmen in different stages of the training and contents. Possessing a higher biological and nutritive value, these products permit fast hardworking and initializing repair process of the human body after heavy and intensive muscle loading.

[Artificial therapeutic nutrition using special food mixtures in complex treatment of patients]. / Iskusstvennoe lechebnoe pitanie s ispol'zovaniem spetsializirovannykh pishchevykh smesei v kompleksnoi terapii bol'nykh.

The experience of using special food mixtures for enteral nutrition in treatment of 5518 of the wounded and inpatients allows propose practical conception of using these artificial food mixtures at different pathological situations. The whole characteristics, nutritional and biological values of these mixtures and methodology of their applications are summarized.

[The use of enteral tube feeding in patients with gastric and duodenal peptic ulcer]. / Primenenie énteral'nogo zondovogo pitaniia u bol'nykh s iazvennoi bolezn'iu zheludka i dvenadtsatiperstnoi kishki.

The authors used enteral tube feeding with a multicomponent balanced mixture "Ovolakt" in complex treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcer in 69 patients among which 42 had complicated forms (stenosis, penetration, bleeding) and 27 had no complications. In establishing the diagnosis laboratory tests and radiological and endoscopic examination were conducted. The gastric secretory function was studied by intragastric pH-metry and pH-chromoscopy conducted during enteral feeding and in dynamics after it was ended. In most cases of cicatrization of the gastric and duodenal defects, hypo- and hyperchlorhydria respectively, persisted. Among 42 patients with complicated course of peptic disease, 21 were treated by operation and 19 received nonoperative treatment. The postulcer cicatrix formed 2-3 weeks after enteral feeding was ended in 27 cases of uncomplicated peptic ulcer and in 19 patients with complicated ulcers who were given nonoperative treatment. Complications after operative treatment were not encountered. Patients not treated by operation spent 20-30 days in the hospital.

Collagen and its rational content in meat products: Part 1. Analytical studies.

Computer-assisted simulation has been used to study the effect of collagen content on the biological value of meat proteins. It has been shown that an increase in the collagen content from 2·5% to 15-20% of the total amount of proteins contained in minced meat tangibly enhances protein utilization for tissue synthesis. Hence, the above collagen content in meat products heightens their nutritional and biological value and renders them more suited for human metabolism.

Collagen and its rational content in meat products 2: Experiments with growing rats.

Experiments with growing rats have been carried out to determine the specific changes in the biological value of finely minced meat following an increase in the total ratio of collagen from 6·1% to 21·2% of the total proteins. It has been established that within the above range the biological value and net protein utilization tended to drop, the difference being statistically insignificant. At the same time, an increase in the collagen content to 14·5% did not reduce the efficiency of tissue protein biosynthesis. It has been demonstrated that the above differences in the biological value for humans and rats are due to their varied requirements for protein composition. Therefore, the results obtained do not contradict the conclusion favouring a positive effect of a 15-20% increase in the total ratio of collagen on the efficiency of utilizing meat proteins for the human body's biosynthesis.
