STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF HUMAN AND OTHER MAMMALIAN ENDOTHELIAL CELLS.

Endothelial cells perform a number of important functions in the organism, and their dysfunction plays an important role in pathogenesis of a wide range of diseases. This review deals with the current literature data on structural characteristics of endothelial cells. A special section is devoted to endothelial cells development and differentiation.

[Features of fluor intoxication development in patients with nondifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia and physical therapy methods for these patients].

The article covers results of studies concerning time of fluorosis development in patients with signs of connective tissue dysplasia syndrome (CTDS). if compared with patients without CTDS, and of studies concerning hyperostosis coefficient in accordance with presence or absence of CTDS. Efficiency of physical therapy and balneotherapy for these patients are also reported by the authors.

[Mathematic analysis of risk factors influence on occupational respiratory diseases development].

Analysis covered 1348 case histories of workers exposed to industrial dust in Urals region. The analysis applied mathematical processing of survival theory and correlation analysis. The authors studied influence of various factors: dust concentration, connective tissue dysplasia, smoking habits--on duration for diseases caused by dust to appear.
