[Effect of biologically active supplements on the functional status and physical efficiency of judoists].

A taking of the biologically active supplements by judoists had made a positive influence on the functional status, physical efficiency and oxygen-transporting function of these athletes. An improvement in muscle-strengthening exercises and special endurance has been registered by the athletes, which have taken these biologically active supplements.

Role of multipole moment of the probe in apertureless near-field optical microscopy.

The model of apertureless near-field optical microscope is developed taking into account the multipole moment of probe. In the case of samples with small dielectric absorption, the multipole moments are shown to be responsible for the appearance of additional resonances in the spectrum of scattered signal. The influence of multipole moments is especially pronounced in the near-field microscopy with modulation of tip-sample distance. A good agreement of the theoretical results with experimental data in the case of resonant interaction of the probe and sample is demonstrated.

[Pathogenesis of lipid metabolism disorders in patients with chronic enteritis]. / Patogenez narushenii obmena lipidov u bol'nykh khronicheskim énteritom.

A total of 156 patients with chronic enteritis have been examined for the bile lipid and bile acid composition, the small and large intestine proximal portions microflora, membranous digestion and absorption of the lipids, blood serum lipid composition; morphometry of the small intestine proximal portion mucosa has been carried out. The findings have been processed in correlation and regression analysis, that has revealed a number of relationships between these parameters. This helped specify some aspects in the pathogenesis of lipid metabolism disorders associated with the small intestine abnormalities and select the tests most valuable for the diagnosis and prognosis of the condition. The authors recommend a wider application of such analysis to clinical studies.

[Microfloral changes in the small and large intestines of chronic enteritis patients on diet therapy including sour milk products]. / Izmenenie mikroflory tonkoi i tolstoi kishki u bol'nykh khronicheskim énteritom pri dietoterapii s vkliucheniem kislomolochnykh produktov.

The microflora of the small and large intestines was studied in 105 patients with chronic enteritis. Significant amounts of various microorganisms were detected in the small intestine. The content of E. coli, bacteroids, bifidobacteria in feces diminished, while that of staphylococcus, enterococcus and fungi rose. The patients were given diet N 4 (intended for enteritis patients) containing lactic acid products (200 ml, 5 times/day, during 24 days); 38 patients received shubat, 30--koumiss and 37--kefir. Koumiss proved to be most effective in the treatment of intestinal dysbacteriosis. Shubat possessed a lower antibiotic activity. Kefir administration did not produce significant shifts in the intestinal microflora. Lactic acid products were ineffective in fungous and Proteus dysbacteriosis. Koumiss and shubat could be recommended for the therapy of certain types of intestinal dysbacteriosis, thus restricting the use of antibacterial drugs.
