[Development of preventive and emergency therapy means for poisonous and highly toxic substances]. / Razrabotka sredstv profilaktiki i neotlozhnoi terapii porazhenii otravliaiushchimi i vysokotoksichnymi veshchestvami.

Threat of accident development at the chemical industry objects, as well as tasks of medical support in chemical weapon destruction necessitate improvement of the toxicant biological indication methods, creation of protective-decontaminating prescriptions to protect open areas of skin, and also development of etiotropic and pathogenetic therapy agents for poisonings The Scientific-Research-Test Center (Medicobiologic Protection) studies of every of the above trends have allowed to create and introduce into table medical support of the RF Armed Forces some new indication-means samples, antichemical packets, antidotes and means of pathogenetic therapy for convulsive and bronchospastic syndromes, to motivate use of pharmacological agents to stop toxic pulmonary edema and cardio-vascular failure.

[Hygienic express-diagnosis of the toxicity of drinking water disinfectants using biotests]. / Gigienicheskaia ékspress-diagnostika toksichnosti dezinfektantov pit'evoi vody s pomoshch'iu biotestirovaniia.

Toxicity of water treated by two disinfectants, AOKh-K and gaseous chlorine, was studied by biotesting on Daphnia magna, Tetrahymena pyriformis (TP) and renal epithelium of porcine embryo (REPE). The study showed that AOKh-K preparation is nontoxic and chlorine toxic for TP and REPE in concentrations 2 and 3 mg/l.

[The information value of biotesting and chemiluminescence methods in evaluating drinking water quality]. / Informativnost' metodik biotestirovaniia i khemiliuminestsentsii v otsenke kachestva pit'evoi vody.

The article studies the informative value of test objects for the evaluation of potable water which contains toxic substances. A number of test objects is proposed by the authors to estimate the chemical harmlessness of water: tetrachimens, Daphnia and peroxide ferment system. The data obtained with the help of test-objects possess a sufficient selective sensibility as far as maximum allowable concentration of various toxic substances is concerned. The authors stress that these methods of biological testing may complement or precede the traditional methods of water evaluation.
