Proteome Profiling of the Exhaled Breath Condensate after Long-Term Spaceflights.

Comprehensive studies of the effects of prolonged exposure to space conditions and the overload experienced during landing on physiological and biochemical changes in the human body are extremely important in the context of planning long-distance space flights, which can be associated with constant overloads and various risk factors for significant physiological changes. Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) can be considered as a valuable subject for monitoring physiological changes and is more suitable for long-term storage than traditional monitoring subjects such as blood and urine. Herein, the EBC proteome changes due to the effects of spaceflight factors are analyzed.

[Embryogenesis of the Japanese quail in hypomagnetic conditions applied to deep space flights].

During future interplanetary flights and on the lunar base, astronauts and bioregenerative systems on the space ship will occur in an interplanetary magnetic field, which is much lower than the habitual geomagnetic field (GMF). It is known that hypomagnetic conditions have an adverse biological effect on human beings and other living systems. In our research the Japanese quail has been chosen as one of the possible elements of the bioregenerative live support system.

[Effects of high energy charged particles on conduction of nerve rhythmic excitation].

The effects of heavy charged particles--alpha-particles and deuterons accelerated by cyclotron to the energies of 30.3 and 15.4 MeV accordingly--on nerve's excitability (amplitude of an action potential (AP) and speed of AP propogation has been studied.
