[The assessment of the status of bottlenose dolphins Tursiops truncatus in the period after their capture].

Blood (eosinophil count and glucose content) and heart rate parameters were studied for assessment of individual responses and level of stress reaction of recently captured bottle-nosed dolphins Tursiops truncatus. Cross-tabulation analysis was carried out of the physiological parameters and the following process of adaptation to captivity. The normal level of stress response in contrast to excessive or abnormal responses were of the best predictive value for adaptation and survival of the animals.

[The characteristics of cardiac rhythm regulation in patients with duodenal peptic ulcer].

The authors studied the cardiac rhythm regulation status in 122 patients with duodenal ulcer. The studies were done by using a method of mathematical analysis of cardiac rhythm. Features of cardiac rhythm regulation in duodenal ulcer patients are as follows: central type disturbances in regulation mechanisms; normo- or vagotonic type regulation of cardiac rhythm; sufficiently stable in time status of vegetative homeostasis determining the course (prognosis) of the illness.

[Nerve regeneration under the influence of baliz-2 and laktovit].

Reparative processes in the sciatic nerve of rats were studied by histological methods after a cryogenic injury with a combined and separate action of drugs Lactovit and Balise-2. The animals were divided into 5 groups: I--intact animals; II--control animals; III--animals treated with Balise-2; IV--animals treated with Lactovit; V--animals treated with both Balise-2 and Lactovit. In the nerve trunk within 75 days after injury (the maximum period of observation) the amount of thick myelin fibers with a diameter 6.
