Approximate analytical overall isotherms: lateral interactions of adsorbate species and patchwise topology.

Approximate analytical solutions for the overall adsorption functions based on the Fowler-Guggenheim local isotherm with a patchwise topology of adsorption centres location and four different adsorption heat distribution functions have been obtained. The Gaussian, constant, linear (as a particular case of power distribution), and exponential distribution functions have been applied. Overall adsorption functions have been analytically obtained, studied and commented.

EXERIENCE IN PREVENTING THE CONSEQUENCES OF MALARIA IMPORTATION IN THE METROPOLIS OF MOSCOW, RUSSIA.

The main purpose of the epidemiological surveillance system for malaria in the Russian Federation is now to prevent the possible consequences of malaria-imported by Russians and foreigners from endemic areas. A quarter of the approximately 100 cases notified each year in the country are detected in Moscow. During an epidemic season, a package of measures to identify infection sources (malaria patients and parasite carriers) and to decline the number of malaria vectors is implemented and the sanitary state, of open water bodies and the efficiency of larvicidal measures are supervised.

[MALARIA IMPORTATION BY RUSSIA'S CITIZENS AND FOREIGNERS, INTO THE CITIES AND TOWNS OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION].

A total of 436 malaria cases, including 12 from the CIS countries and 424 from far foreign countries (of Africa and Central and South-East Asia), were imported into the Russian Federation in 2010-2014. Most (96.6%) cases were notified in the urban areas of 52 administrative subjects of Russia.

[The effect of 3,5-dicarbomethoxyphenylbiguanide on the activity of antioxidant enzymes].

The effect of 3,5-dicarbomethoxyphenylbiguanide, which was selected with the Prediction of Activity Spectra of Substances (PASS) computer program, on the activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione transferase in the heart and the blood serum of rats with experimental rheumatoid arthritis was investigated. The studied parameters changed towards control values when the tested compound was injected in animals with the pathology. These results can be explained by the cardioprotective and antioxidant activity of the compound.

[The species and karyotype composition of malaria mosquito larvae in different water reservoirs of the city of Moscow].

The species and karyotype composition of malaria mosquito larvae was investigated in different water reservoirs of the city of Moscow. Cytogenetic analysis identified 2 malaria mosquito species: An. maculipennis Mg and An.
