[System automatically processing psychophysiologic parameters of pilots].

For ergonomic evaluation of aircraft, the authors developed and subjected to flight testing a system automatically processing psychophysiologic parameters of pilots, providing post-flight automated PC processing of values registered during flight--cardiac rhythm, skin and sub-clothing temperatures, pulmonary ventilation and working load.

[The duration of action of Bacillus thuringiensis spp. israelensis and Bacillus sphaericus after encapsulation by infusoria Tetrahymena pyriformis].

The study of the duration of the insecticidal activity of a mixture of infusoria with each of these bacteria revealed differences in the pattern of their relations during their long contact. T. pyriformis may be used for the prolongation of its insecticidal action if Bti is applied.

[Use of the recombinant bacterial strain to control blood-sucking mosquito larvae].

The recombinant strain of Methylobacillus flagellatum with the cloned synthesis gene Cry 4B of the toxic Bac. thuringiensis var. israelensis protein proved to be effective against larvae of the Anopheles stephensi, An.

[The effect of microwaves (UHF) and magnetic fields on the insecticidal properties of biological and chemical preparations].

The larvicidal activity of preparations from different groups of compounds was assayed after their exposure to microwaves and magnetic field. The radiation was found to have a varying impact on the insecticidal properties of the preparations. Thus, the efficiency of spheric larvicides decreased, which is likely to be associated with the structural changes of toxin crystals, whereas the larvicidal activity of the organophosphorus compound dursban and the pyrethroid aikon increased 2-5-fold.

[The duration of embryogenesis in mosquitoes of the genus Aedes].

The duration of embryogenesis was determined in 12 mono- and polycyclic types of Aedes mosquitos in the mid-Russia and eastern Siberia at laboratory temperatures of 24-25 degrees C. It was ascertained that larval formation in the egg occurred in Aedes communis within 5-8 days, in Ae. cantans within 5-7 days, in Ae.

[The susceptibility of mosquitoes for Plasmodium gallinaceum in the joint use of biologically active substances].

Making use of a model pair Aedes aegypti--Plasmodium gallinaceum, the authors assess the susceptibility of mosquito female survivors to malaria agent after treatment of larvae with various bioactive substances. Eight binary combinations of 6 preparations have been tried: dimilin and uvemon, insect development regulators; fundosol and copper sulfate, fungicides; phytobacteriomicin (PBM), a larvicidal antibiotic; bactoculicide, a bacterial agent. Combinations of PBM with compounds differing by their mechanisms of action were found to inhibit the specific effect of PBM on the vector, PBM specific effect consisting in depression of mosquito susceptibility to P.

[The use of alginic acid-based preparations for treating suppurative wounds of the maxillofacial area and neck].

The effects of algin-based drugs--algipor, algimaf, teralgim--on the course of maxillofacial purulent wounds healing were under study. Cytologic and morphometric data and findings of pH measurements evidence a high efficacy of teralgim and of algipor and algimaf combinations with trypsin immobilized on a cloth base during the first phase of the wound process. Application of these drugs was conducive to a sooner wound purification and to stimulation of the reparative processes.

[Experimental research on the effect of biologically active substances on the susceptibility of mosquitoes to the causative agent of malaria. 3. Algae, fertilizers].

On a model pair Aedes aegypti--Plasmodium gallinaceum in has been shown that changes in the conditions of larvae development caused by the addition into the water medium of the live culture of Synochocystis sp. cyanobacteria or green seaweeds Chlorella vulgaris, acetone extracts from the live culture precipitate or Chlorella powder, as well as nitrogen-containing fertilizer--ammonium chloride did not lower the sensitivity of the imago flying to malaria parasites. The results of the experiments assessing the effect of biologically active compounds introduced into the larvae habitation medium on the ability to change sensitivity of the survived mosquito females to malaria agent have been summed up.

[An experimental study of the effect of different biologically active substances on the susceptibility of mosquitoes to the causative agent of malaria. 2. Herbicides and fungicides].

The feasibility was determined of influencing Ae. aegypti sensitivity to bird malaria agent P. gallinaceum by sublethal concentrations of herbicides (ordram and propanide) and fungicides (fundozol and blue vitriol) introduced into the larvae habitation medium or into the imago feed.

[An experimental study of the effect of different biologically active substances on the susceptibility of mosquitoes to the causative agent of malaria. 1. Insect development regulators].

It has been shown on the model pair Ae. aegypti-P. gallinaceum that dimilin, an inhibitor of insect chitin synthesis has practically no effect on female sensitivity to malaria agent.

[Experimental study of new polymer dressings in the treatment of burn wounds].

Data on the experimental study of a new polymer coverage for treatment of burn wounds are presented in the article. Application of this coverage, which has a tanning and absorbing affect promotes formation of a dry eschar over a burn wound within the first two days after the accident. This allows to perform early chemical necrectomy on the 6-7th day after the accident.

[The absence of an action of the pyrethroids deltamethrin and cypermethrin on mosquito susceptibility to the causative agent of malaria].

Mosquitos Ae. aegypti and An. stephensi contact with sublethal doses of deltametrin and cypermetrin pyretroids at larval stage and in grown state, when diet includes sugar with pyretroids, had no influence on the sensitivity of survived females to malaria agents P.

[Evaluation of the action of ivermectin on blood-sucking mosquitoes].

The effect of Ivomec, a formulation of ivermectin administered by various routes: through biological membrane and feeder animal was assessed. Higher insecticidal effect was obtained by feeding mosquitoes with blood containing ivermectin through biological membrane. Anopheles stephensi females were the most sensitive of 3 species under study.

[Algimaf treatment of trophic ulcers].

A new biologically active preparation, algimaf, developed at the All-Union Research Institute for Medical Polymers, stimulates the regenerative processes, is characterized by analgesic, antiedematous, manifest antibacterial and hemostatic effects, promotes the formation of hardly visible cicatrices, and is a highly effective means for the management of trophic ulcers of the skin.

[Algimaf treatment of burns].

Application of algimaf, a new polymeric dressing, in local therapy of burn wounds is conducive to spontaneous epithelization of surface burns and favors effective autodermoplasty in thermal burns. Cytologic studies of the wound discharge and examination of the burn wound microflora qualitative and quantitative composition indicate a high therapeutic efficacy of the dressing.
