[Fermentation of a high-protein plant biomass by introduction of lactic acid bacteria].

Lactic acid bacteria displaying increased ability to produce lactic acid, medium proteolytic activity, and tolerance to osmotic stress were isolated under selective conditions from phyllosphere and rhizosphere of registered and raised cultivars of legumes. Lactic fermentation of poorly ensilable leguminous plants (red clover and Caucasian goat's rue) was performed by introduction of rifampin-resistant homofermenting representatives of the genus Lactobacillus (selected according to a set of technologically important characteristics). The results demonstrate that introduction of active local strains of lactobacteria, as well as the collection strain Lactobacillus plantarum BS 933, enhances activation of ensiling and increases the quality of fodder, as assessed according to the standard criteria (a decrease in pH of the medium, the ratio of lactic acid to fatty acid homologues, and the composition of silage microflora).

[A method for forming and the morphological characteristics of artificial liver cysts].

Application of ultrasound surgical aspirator promotes rapid formation of major cavities with dry inner surface in the depth of hepatic parenchyma. Filling of the latter with sutured copolymer of monovinyl ether of ethyleneglycol in the ratio of one filler volume to three cavity volumes results in the formation of cysts with the given stable dimensions. Good aspiration of necrotic tissues promotes rapid formation of thin-walled cysts.

[The dynamics of the morphological changes in the liver after resections using the Soviet ultrasonic surgical aspirator].

The possibility of hepar resection by means of Soviet-made ultrasound device URSK-7N-18 was investigated in experiment on 13 mongrel dogs. The device was adapted to this surgery and was supplied with a special working part with a vacuum pump and channel for inspiration of liquid. The working part frequency is 26.

[Sandoglobulin immunocorrection in trauma].

Twenty one patients with the long-term compression syndrome (LCS) and 12 patients with burns treated with sandoglobulin in combination with antibacterial therapy were followed up. The control groups included 14 and 18 patients, respectively. All the patients had wound infections.

[An apparatus for diagnosing necrotic areas of the skeletal musculature of man and animals].

Modern methods for the evaluation of principal respiration indexes were analysed to formulate the demands for methodological characteristics of the devices used in lung functional diagnosis. As a result the extent of measurement random errors of main respiration indexes, which guarantee the prescribed level of right diagnosis probability are established.

[Method for electrodiagnosis of the necrotic zone in skeletal muscles].

A simple new method for determination of necrosis of the skeletal muscles is suggested. Stimulation of the muscle and the recording of the contraction is made via a needle electrode. The contraction is recorded as a characteristic drop of the muscle resistance to high-frequency current which per se does not cause any stimulation.

[Automatic recognition of RR-intervals of sinus origin from real electrocardiographic signals].

A simple decisive rule for classifying RR-intervals of electrocardiograms by two types, sinusoidal and anomalous, is deduced using the theory of pattern recognition. Parameters of the decisive rule according to the minimum of the Buyess probability of the classification error are selected. The algorithm may be realized with microprocessors and used in cardiac rhythm monitors.

[Variability of sinus rhythm during deep respiration].

A possibility was studied of applying the deep and infrequent respiration test with an object of increasing the informativeness of the statistical parameters of the ECG sequence interval as applicable to the quantitative evaluation of the functional state of man. Examination of patients with wound infection shown that the deep respiration test makes in possible to assess quantitatively the status of test subjects on the basis of two statistical parameters (the mean value of RR interval of ECG and root-mean-square deviation).
