[The forensic medical identification of the members of the Demidov family].

The objective of the present study was to elucidate the genetic profiles of the biological materials taken from four graves in the Demidov family vault in order to establish kinship between its members. According to the archival documents, two graves contained the remains of Pyotr Grigor'evich Demidov, an adjutant-general for the emperor Aleksandr II, and his wife Elizaveta Nikolaevna Demidova (Bezobrazova). Also, it was supposed that two other graves contained the remains of Grigory Petrovich Demidov and Ekaterina Petrovna Demidova (married name princess Kudasheva), the son and the daughter of P.

[Clinical manifestations of APS-nephropathy in primary antiphospholipid syndrome].

Aim: To elicit clinical features of nephropathy associated with antiphospholipid syndrome (APSN) in patients with primary antiphospholipid syndrome (PAPS).

Material And Methods: The analysis of clinical characteristics and course of APSN has covered 24 patients with PAPS (16 females and 8 males, mean age 34.3 years).

[Use of plasmapheresis in the treatment of drug-resistant cardiac arrhythmias].

Aim: To study the therapeutical efficiency of plasmapheresis (PA) in patients with drug-resistant cardiac arrhythmias (CA) and its mechanisms.

Materials And Methods: Discrete PA sessions were carried out in 56 patients with drug-resistant CA: paroxysmal atrial arrhythmia (AA), ventricular and supraventricular premature contractions, supraventricular tachycardia of various etiology. Biochemical blood values, coagulographic parameters, lipid peroxidation (LPO), the spectrum of nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA), the level of medium-sized molecules were determined, ECG monitoring, EchoCG, and left ventricular radioisotope computed tomography were performed before and after a PA session.

[Establishing the presence of blood in stains for material evidence by using the luminescent blood test].

Two methods for objective persuasive identification of blood stains on pieces of material evidence are offered. These methods are 1000 times more sensitive than other methods used in forensic medical practice. Computer processing of the results permits calculating the content of hemoglobin derivatives in the examined material in amounts as low as 5-100 ng/100 microliters extraction.

[Increase in the yield of recombinant proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts as a result of optimizing their culture conditions].

The optimal one-stage scheme of the cultivation of the recombinant yeast strains was developed. In these strains, the expression of the foreign gene is induced at the medium depletion by phosphorus. The scheme was tested for the producers of human interleukin-2 and bovine gamma-interferon.
