[Certain medico-economic prerequisites for the integration of spa and resort facilities into the system of compulsory health insurance].

The involvement of spa and resort facilities in the system of compulsory health insurance is of primary importance for the improvement of medical aid provided to the population. The application of the methods for the calculation of differential expenditures on the spa and resort-based treatment and estimation of their dependence on a variety of factors may facilitate the more rational use of the available resources of compulsory health insurance.

[On the selected problems of the involvement of spa-and-resort facilities in the implementation of territorial programs of compulsory medical insurance].

The inclusion of spa-and-resort facilities in the sphere of compulsory medical insurance is in accordance with the law "On the compulsory medical insurance in the Russian Federation". However, this work implies serious preparatory activity aimed at estimating the requirements of different groups of the country's population in the follow-up treatment and rehabilitation based at the spa-and-resort facilities as well as the available resources for this purpose, modes of payment, rate structure, etc. The spa and resort-based treatment within the framework of the compulsory medical insurance system must be made one of the components of the regional programs of medical rehabilitation.

[Effect of fusococcin on the genome of common wheat].

The effect of fusicoccin on the common wheat genome (cv. Mironovskaya 808) during early phases of seed germination was studied. It was shown that fusicoccin: (1) increased the number of cells with one or two nucleoli and decreased the proportion of cells containing three and four nucleoli; (2) enhanced the total volume of nucleoli per nucleus at a concentration of 0.

[The antioxidant properties of parmidine in a toxic lesion of the liver].

The experiments on rats with toxic lesions of the liver induced by tetrachlorinemethane showed that parmidine (pyridinolcarbamat) promotes the reduction of the activity of lipid peroxidation in the liver tissue homogenates and erythrocytes. The pronounced tendency towards normalization of free-radical oxidation correlated with the positive dynamics of the histological picture of the liver.

[The effect of parmidine on the lipid peroxidation processes in coronary atherosclerosis].

During the formation and development of atherosclerosis the intensity of lipid peroxidation and the activity of antioxidant defence system significantly change. The use of parmidine decreases the contents of primary and secondary products of lipid peroxidation, reduces peroxide hemolysis of erythrocytes and increases the content of reduced glutathione in erythrocytes of patients with atherosclerosis. This shows that parmidine possessing the antioxidant properties stabilizes lipid peroxidation processes and normalizes the physiological antioxidant system.

[Effect of mental work on the efficiency and reliability of voluntary motor activity].

By means of reflexometry 200 students were divided into three groups -- with high, medium and low work efficiency (WE) and mobility of cortical processes (MCP) and into three initial variations within each group. After studies WE and MCP change in the direction opposite to the initial in extreme variations and remain at the initial level in the mean variation. Direct correlation between WE and MCP and work reliability (WR) is found which is independent of the degree of their pronouncement.

[Hypoxia and tissue permeability for non-electrolytes].

The activity of cytochrome oxidase in tissues was decreased in short-term adaptation to reduce pO2 and administration of KCN in small doses. In the former case the activities of peroxidase and catalase were increased in blood. These effects as well as administration of Na2ATP into rats led to an increase in water content in tissues, to soption of acidic vital stain (phenol red) and to decrease in the ether-soluble fraction of lipids.
