[On a binocular vision testing in concomitant strabismus].

Character of vision in 105 children with strabismus (with regular eye position) was tested using four dot test on different distance (5.0, 2.5, 1.0 m) and "Phorbis" device comprising phoropter and a set of light filters, that let us perform examination in the conditions of colour, polaroid and bitmapped division of visual fields. Stereoscopic vision was examined using original method based on anaglyph haploscopy. Binocular vision in strabismus was found to become more frequent as the distance and dissociating effect of light-filters decrease, and turned to be maximal in near testing in conditions of bitmapped haploscopy. Visual stereoscopic acuity in children with concomitant strabismus even on reaching regular eye position and binocular vision is significantly lower compared with healthy children of the same age.

[Computer morphometry of peripheral blood cells in patients of different age with pneumonia].

The aim of the research was to study blood responses to pneumonia in patients of different age and sex. The subjects of the study were 116 patients with extrahospital bacterial pneumonia (80 men and 36 women). The patients were divided into three age groups: 18 to 44 years, 45 to 59 years, and 60 to 74 years. Almost healthy 16 men and almost healthy 14 women have made the control groups. Computer morphometry of leukocytes of peripheral blood was made to all patients. Various reaction of lymphocytes on a pneumonia in men and women of young and middle age was revealed. Indirect evidences of decrease in level of lymphocytes activation in women of young and middle age at pneumonia development were received. The sizes of lymphocytes in elderly patients with pneumonia do not change comparing with the control groups. Sexual differences in reaction of monocytes to pneumonia are not present. The sizes of monocytes in patients with pneumonia of all age groups decrease at the expense of kernels, which indicate to their accelerated manufacture in a marrow. Absence of increase in cytoplasm to nucleus ratio index in elderly patients testifies a smaller degree of monocytes activation in this group of patients. The trend to reduction of the sizes of neutrophiles speaks of the accelerated division of predecessors' of mature neutrophiles. The increase in cytoplasm to nucleus ratio index of neutrophiles in women with pneumonia of young and middle age comparing with the control group specifies to the big degree of activation of neutrophiles link in these groups.

[The role of rotary prisms and dynamic color stimuli in binocular vision recovery in children with squint].

A modified procedure for diploid treatment is proposed to disinhibit a functional scotoma and to develop binocular vision (BV) in children with squint. The procedure is to examine a special test object through rotary prisms and polaroid filters inserted into a modernized spectacle frame. During treatment there is an opportunity of simultaneously changing the color of the test object and the position of its image on the retina. The study enrolled children in whom previous traditional methods for BV recovery had failed. Treatment using the proposed procedure could recover bifoveal fusion in 88.3% of cases (as evidenced by synoptophore examination) and BY in 73.3% (as shown by scanning haploscopy).

[Visual illusions].

The paper describes the principle of developing a stereoscopic illusion test based on color anaglyphs. The test demonstrated on a monitor screen contains images of anaglyphic figures that are uniform in size and shape. Illusion is that, by defining the arrangement of the figures from their distance, an observer perceives them uniform. A possible mechanism for this illusion emergence is briefly considered.

[Study of stereoscopic visual acuity, by using the color anaglyph method].

A method is proposed to study stereoscopic visual acuity (SVA) by means of the test objects designed by the computer program Adobe Photoshop CS 2 (version 9, 2005). Each test object contains 3-4 silhouette figures made on the principle of color anaglyphs with varying degrees of transverse disparity. The capacity of an examinee of correctly showing on the display screen the sequence of the layout for the figures in depth with a minimal disparity determines its SVA. The authors propose to consider a disparity of 30 seconds of angle as a unit of SVA. The results of SVA examination using the proposed method (when the same object is demonstrated) do not depend on the site of figures on the screen and on the distance between the examinee and the monitor.

[Methods for detection and characterization of mechanical resistance of erythrocytes in healthy men (review of literature)]. / Metody opredeleniia mekhanicheskoi rezistentnosti éritrotsitov i kharakterizuiushchie ee pokazateli u zdorovykh liudei (obzor literatury).

Published reports on methods for evaluation of erythrocyte rheology and mechanical resistance are reviewed. The processes running in red blood cells under the effect of mechanical factors are described. An original method for studies of vibration resistance of erythrocytes is proposed. It allows evaluation of the erythrocyte hemolysis, aggregation, and fragmentation. The method consists in combined vibroexposure of whole capillary blood in vitro (including blood collected under conditions of redistribution of erythropoiesis after exercise) and differentiated cytometry by conductometric hematological scintillators with plotting a histogram of erythrocyte distribution by volume. The method was used by many scientists who obtained different results in examinations of normal subjects. This disagreement of results of different studies is explained by numerous causes, some of which can hardly be taken into consideration. The authors attempted to standardize the method and normal (reference) values. The method is sensitive to various factors (even low intensive) affecting the erythrocyte population and allows the detection of diseases at the preclinical stage and evaluation of the degree of subject's training.

[The effect of hydrodynamic conditions on the interferon-synthesizing activity of swine splenocytes in the production of alpha-interferon]. / Vliianie gidrodinamicheskikh uslovii na interferonsinteziruiushchuiu aktivnost' splenotsitov svinei pri poluchenii al'fa-interferona.

Parameters of physical constituents of the agitation process and mass-exchange characteristics of the suggested bioreactor for suspension cultivation of pig splenocytes are determined. The effect of hydrodynamic conditions on viability and interferon-synthesizing activity of cells in production of alpha-interferon of pigs has been studied. The relation existing between interferonogenesis processes proceeding under suspension and under stationary biosynthesis has been analyzed by the pair correlation method.

[The differentiated phytotherapy of patients with duodenal peptic ulcer]. / O differentsirovannoi fitoterapii bol'nykh iazvennoi bolezn'iu dvenadtsatiperstnoi kishki.

Resulted are analysed of complex treatment of 103 patients with duodenal ulcer. Infusions and concoctions of medicinal plants were used. The regimen of administration and composition of the cocktail from herbs depended on the character of gastric secretion and dyskinesia of the gastroduodenal zone as well as on the presence of concomitant diseases; cholecystitis, gastritis, hepatitis, pancreatitis, enterocolitis. Intragastric drip administration of the concoctions and infusions of medicinal plants favour scarring of duodenal ulcers and reduction of the number and duration of recurrences.

[A biological rhythm approach to psychological correction of postural tone disorders in pregnant women with arterial hypotension]. / Bioritmologicheskii podkhod k psikhicheskoi korrektsii narushenii postural'nogo tonusa u beremennykh zhenshchin s arterial'noi gipotenziei.

The studies have demonstrated a correcting and synchronizing effect of differentiated psychotherapy and dosed exercise on the maternal and fetal reactions to active postural load in women with gestational arterial hypotension, developing a blood circulatory disadaptation in the mother-fetus system and circadian desynchronization of the postural tone. Traditional physiopsychoprophylactic preparation to labor, carried out in the reference group of pregnant women, was of no avail in this respect.

[Bile acid levels in the serum and the state of liver blood flow in patients with rheumatic mitral heart disease]. / Soderzhanie zhelchnykh kislot v syvorotke krovi i sostoianie pechenochnogo krovotoka u bol'nykh revmaticheskimi mitral'nymi porokami serdtsa.

The total and fractional content of blood bile acids (BA) was studied by the method of thin-layer chromatography and rheohepatography was performed in 87 patients with rheumatic mitral disease (mitral stenosis and associated mitral heart disease with prevalence of stenosis). There was a direct dependence between the degree of clinical and rheohepatographic signs of disorders of the hemodynamics and increase of the level of serum BA, a more pronounced therapeutic effect with normalization of BA, concentration in the blood after complex treatment using hepatotropic drugs than with use of traditional drugs (non-steroid antiinflammatory, cardiac glycosides, diuretics and others.).
