[Construction and study of leaf rust-resistant common wheat lines with translocations of Aegilops speltoides Tausch].

Genotyping was performed for the leaf rust-resistant line 73/00i (Triticum aestivum x Aegilops speltoides). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with probes Spelt1 and pSc119.2 in combination with microsatellite analysis were used to determine the locations and sizes of the Ae.

[Interrelations between cells of the nervous and immune systems in vitro].

The collaborative character of the immune response requires direct cell- to cell or humoral contacts between the lymphocytes and the cells of mononuclear phagocyte system. The proposed model of direct interrelationship between the cells of the CNS and the immune system throws much light on the morphology of the lymphocyte entry and its recruitment into parenchyma during pathology. The structure, distribution and membrane morphology of the formed in situ rosette-like clusters (containing microglia, as CNS type of mononuclear phagocytes, and syngeneic lymphocytes) was investigated by light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

[The multiple organ failure syndrome--its pathophysiology and treatment].

Polyorganic deficiency syndrome (PODS) is a generalized response to the effect of a variety of agents hardly lending itself to control, becoming manifest with rapid proliferation within the body. The issues discussed include: epidemiology with a special reference to panendothelial trauma to pulmonary and other systems with impairment of oxygen utilization by the cells, microcirculation disorders, mediators, ARDS development, disturbed barrier function of the intestinal mucosa, enhanced glutamine consumption with ensuing villous atrophy. Symptoms presented by various organs, treatment consisting in block of stimulation and block of mediators, as well as selective decontamination and adequate diet are also dealt with.

[Study of the structure of receptor organs of the vestibular apparatus of rats after space flight on "Kosmos-1667"].

The receptor organs of the vestibular apparatus of rats flown for 7 days on Cosmos-1667 were examined. Serial sections were examined by light microscopy, some utriculus sections by electron microscopy, and otolith membranes by scanning electron microscopy. The fixation method used revealed a distinct structural heterogeneity of the receptor epithelium.
