[Efficacy of bemithyl and pyrazidol in patients with cerebroasthenia due to brain injury].

The article is dedicated to therapeutic efficacy of a combination of the antihypoxant bemithyl and the antidepressant pyrazidol in patients with asthenoneurotic and asthenovegetative syndromes after moderate isolated brain injury (BI). The combined therapy was shown to reduce long-term sequences of BI such as asthenic symptoms, stabilize both lipid peroxidation processes and serum antioxidative systems.

[An evaluation of the mutagenic activity of the air pollutants in the area of a plant for the manufacture of synthetic rubber by using Tradescantia (clone 02) as the test object].

The mutagenic effects of atmospheric pollutants of synthetic rubber works on the frequency of point mutations in somatic cells of stamen hairs (CSH) of Tradescantia (clone 02) was studied under the condition of functioning or nonoperating shops. It was shown that temporary stopping of shops led to a decrease in the number of recessive mutations in CSN to the level 1.5 times higher than the control one.
