[Investigation of the antiparasitic activity of paracels series apparatuses].

The paper provides a preliminary positive assessment of the results of experimental studies of the inactivating effect of a bioresonance technology against Lamblia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts placed in the aquatic environment in vitro.

[Expected epidemic risk from the minimum drinking water content of protozoan agents of enteric parasitic diseases].

The paper presents information on lambliasis and cryptosporidiosis outbreaks associated with drinking water contamination-associated. It discusses a risk for the emergence of mass outbreaks of lambliasis and cryptosporidiosis among the population of the municipalities of administrative district centers and other human settlements, which are to exercise sanitary and parasitological control over the quality of water of its centralized drinking supply. The significance of this water contamination by lamblia cysts and cryptosporidium oocysts is considered.

[Current ascariasis situation in the Russian Federation].

In the Russian Federation (RF), ascariasis remains to be the most common geohelminthiasis, in children in particular. With its overall reduction, the prevalence of ascariasis is very uneven on the RF territory. In the past 15 years, from 1991 to 2004, there was a steady-state decrease in the incidence of ascariasis from 79.

[Water and intestinal parasitic diseases].

The paper presents data on the rates of Lamblia cyst dissemination of surface water sources in foreign countries, the Russian Federation, Moscow, and the Moscow Region. It shows a role of drinking water in the spread of intestinal parasitic diseases. In accordance with parasitological parameters, specific data on improvement of methodological control of water quality are presented.

[Improvement of a complex of sanitary and health-promoting measures in enterobiasis for children of pediatric institutions and schools].

The use of an improved complex of sanitary and health-promoting measures for children from 2 schools revealed that their infestation with pinworms among first-eleventh-form pupils from a boarding school was 42.6%, the above measures covering simultaneously them all with their subsequent repetition every 6 months allowed all the children to be free from pinworms. At school 8, the random use of these measures could reduce pinworm infestation to 4% of the children covered with health-promoting measures.

[Research of the academician I. N. Bulankin on problems of protein chemistry].

The article presents an information about scientific researches on the problem of chemical properties and structure of proteins, which were carried out intensively by the biochemists of Kharkiv State University in 30-50 years of XX cent., headed by I. N.

[Development of biochemistry in the Biology Department of Kharkhov State University. Formation of a new direction--physiology and biochemistry of aging].

The article presents some data on teaching Biochemistry at the Nature Department of Kharkiv Imperial University Physico-Mathematical Faculty, as well as restoration of biochemical education and scientific researches as a result of the University reorganization in the Soviet period and foundation of the Biochemistry Chair at the Biological Faculty in the renovated Kharkiv State University. The analysis of scientific biochemical investigations conducted in the Kharkiv University till now is revealed. The special attention is paid to development of such a scientific trend as age physiology and biochemistry.

[Foundation and development of biochemistry at the Imperial Kharkov University].

The article summarizes the biochemical researches carried out at Kharkiv Imperial University from the middle of XIX century up to the cessation of its existence in 1920 as a result of transformation into the Kharkiv Institute of National Education. Scientific activity at the Chair of Medical Chemistry at Medical Department is described in details. Information on professors who led the chair and their researches are represented.

[New approaches to the eradication of enterobiasis in children].

The paper outlines the results of studies dealt with the detection of risk factors and groups for enterobiasis, the efficiency of the treatment of children suffering from the disease with medamine, biologicals, and Normase. It is shown that risk factors may include an abnormal course of antenatality, minor developmental malformations (diastema, dystrophy, abnormalities of the eye, hand, foot, etc.), as well as early artificial feeding of babies (before they reach 3 months of life).

[The spread of the principal socially important parasitic disease on the territory of the Chukot Autonomous Okrug (ChAO)].

The paper provides the examination findings of helminthiases in the population of the town of Anadyr, the settlements of Kanchalan, Krasneno, and in the reindeer-breeding teams of the Anadyr District, CAD. The children infected with enterobiasis were shown to amount to 15.1 to 22.
