The visualization of natural luminescence of living cotton hairs.

Super-weak luminescence of individual living cotton cells was investigated. This phenomenon was observed under an optical microscope using a replica-reprint technique in conjunction with living cotton cells. Gelatin solution was used for visualization of luminescence in a polymer film deposited on the cotton cells.

Morphological defects in cotton hairs and the nature of their origin.

In vivo observations of the origin of native defects in cotton hairs were carried out during their development in unopened cotton bolls. It is shown that the formation of these structural defects is related to features of their packing inside the cotton bolts during the formation of the boll segments. A mechanism explaining the origination of these morphological defects is proposed.

[Screening diagnosis of membrane-destructive process in children with maxillodental abnormalities and gastrointestinal diseases].

Native mixed saliva of 86 children with congenital and acquired dentognathic system deformations and gastrointestinal tract diseases was investigated by specially devised method using optical reflecting microscope Neophot-2. In cytological preparations of mixed saliva all the cell elements were with signs of significant edema and cytolysis. In detritus different structures of lipid aggregations prevailed.

[Surgical treatment of post-infarction aneurysms using the tunneling method].

The work is devoted to the development of new methods of surgical treatment of postinfarction aneurysms. An experience with performing 25 operations of tunneling the myocardium of the left ventricle and aneurysmoplasty has shown the possibility of performing such operations in patients when it is impossible to perform the direct aortocoronary shunting and aneurysmectomy under conditions of extracorporeal circulation.
