[Morphological features of corneal exposure to experimental near infrared emission laser].

Effect of laser radiation with wave length 1,4 microm on exposed cornea of isolated bull eye (in vitro) is studied. Experimental laser coagulator with wave length 1,4 microm based on the semiconductor laser with a fiber radiation output was used in the study. Cornea was exposed at the standardized distance to radiation with different energy settings.

Evaluation of the T-scan system in achieving functional masticatory balance.

Introduction: Uniform occlusal load distribution over the two halves of the dentition is an important factor in achieving a balanced static and functional occlusion.

Aim: To assess the capacity of the T-scan system in achieving functional masticatory balance using our own method for precise balancing of static and functional occlusal relations in fixed prostheses.

Material And Methods: The method was designed on the basis of test studies of the T-scan system and a computer program specially developed to measure the occlusal load on films recorded with the T-scan.

[Supervision of tuberculosis facilities].

The paper presents the current approaches to organizing and supervising tuberculosis at different levels. The present-day conditions for organizational and methodological measures are analyzed, the concept of supervision is defined and its principles and main elements are described.

[Outlooks for promoting antituberculosis care for the Siberian population].

An analysis of the TB situation in three Siberian territories, i.e. the Kemerovo, Omsk and Tomsk Regions, is presented.

[Burkholderia mallei and Burkholderia pseudomallei. Study of immuno- and pathogenesis of glanders and melioidosis. Heterologous vaccines].

Parameters of the infectious activity of B.mallei and B.pseudomallei for animals of various species were determined.

[Immunogenic potential of glanders and melioidosis agents].

Unlike the glanders agent, the superficial structures of the melioidosis agent were demonstrated to be responsible for marked was immunosuppressive activity. Some antigenic fractions suppressing the blast transformation of lymphocytes, reducing the count of T helpers and profoundly potentiating the infection in vivo were isolated from P. pseudomallei cells.

[Pseudodysfunction of oblique muscles].

The authors offer a hypothesis on the possibility of development of vertical components of deviation in concomitant eso- or exotropia as a result of specific functioning of horizontal muscles in subjects with oblique palpebral fissure. Such a vertical deviation clinically corresponds to dysfunction (imbalance) of oblique muscles in its symmetrical variant and is therefore termed by the authors "pseudodysfunction of oblique muscles". Differential diagnostic basis for differentiation between true and false dysfunction of oblique muscles in concomitant strabismus is formulated.

[The immunological efficacy of Francisella tularensis outer membranes for hamadryas baboons].

The protective properties of the preparation of F. tularensis outer membranes (OM), obtained from F. tularensis vaccine strain 15, were studied in experiments on hamadryas baboons challenged subcutaneously with F.

[The ophthalmological manifestations of Möbius' facial diplegia syndrome (a short review and case report)].

A case with Möbius' facial diplegia is described; the syndrome is characterized by bilateral congenital paralysis of the mimic muscles often associated with paralysis of the abductors of both eyes, convergent strabismus, palsy of sublingual and trigeminal nerve motor branch. This first observation of the syndrome in Russia is uncommon due to a congenital lower lid entropion which is considered untypical of this rare condition. Still, the authors do not rule out a pathogenetic relationship between entropion and other manifestations of the syndrome.

[Syndrome of the superior oblique muscle rigidity: clinico-anatomical aspects and results of treatment of 8 patients].

Tenectomy of the superior oblique muscle resulted in complete disappearance of Brown's syndrome in 7 out of 8 children operated on. In view of this, it can be a method of choice in treatment of the syndrome. There was the first clinical case of an additional abnormal attachment of the superior oblique muscle tendon to the sclera.

[The syndrome of congenital unilateral hyperfunction of the inferior oblique muscle: clinico-pathogenetic variants].

Examination of 21 children with unilateral congenital paresis of superior oblique muscle and of 50 children with unilateral hyperfunction of inferior oblique muscle has shown that both forms of early squint have a picture of the same syndrome of oblique muscles disfunction as a primary congenital defect of muscular balance. A constant sign of the syndrome is unilateral hypertropia of adduction, disappearing or sharply reducing in abduction of the upward deviated eye, as well as horizontal squint of a convergent type, more frequently esotropia, nonaccommodative or partially accommodative, accompanied by a V-sign. It is proposed to name this syndrome as "syndrome of congenital unilateral hyperfunction of inferior oblique muscle".

[Elucidation of the possibilities for muscle transplantation in paralytic esotropia. Electromyography of the superior and inferior rectus muscles].

The activity of superior and inferior rectus muscles of the eye in a gaze upwards, downwards, to the right, to the left and in primary position has been electrographically determined in 13 adults without disturbances in eye motility. The analysis of the results obtained has shown that there doesn't exist adducent action of these muscles as an active physiologic function. Anatomically conditioned, but practically low and weak, adducent action of the muscles, being passive by nature, can be in norm caused by the weakening of the external rectus muscle in adduction of the eye, because in horizontal moving it preserves the level of activity characteristic for primary position of the eye.

[Morphological research on different ways of joining the rectus muscles of the eye].

The paper analyses results of comparative clinico-morphological studies of two methods for ocular rectus muscles a sutural and a loop methods used in 8 rabbits (16 eyes). Histologic examination of specimens of eye made 4-6 months after surgical intervention has shown that a loop method provides preservation of the structure of muscular tissue to a much greater degree than a sutural method. The results obtained allow to consider the loop method to be a method of choice for the usage in clinical practice as being less traumatic.

[Interaction of the membrane transport proteins in E. coli K12].

The inhibition kinetics of NO2PheGal transport by MeGlc in E. coli K12 were studied. The inhibitory effect was observed only at definite ratio of the corresponding transport proteins -- enzyme IIglc and beta-galactoside permease.
