[A new approach to improving air in habitable pressurized modules].

Habitable pressurized modules, including space cabin, should provide ecologically efficient and physiologically auspicious conditions. The regenerated air should be comparable with fresh air of the natural environment humans belonged with over thousand years of evolution. Air scrubbing system GALOINHALATOR IGK-02 (MAI, patent No.

Dystrophin in limb skeletal muscle fibers and creatinkinase leakage after acute +3 Gz acceleration in rhesus monkeys.

Intensive muscle tension induces significant blood accumulation of enzymes and structural proteins of the muscle origin. Altered macromolecular permeability of the sarcolemma is attributed to integrity of sarcolemmal cytoskeleton, mainly to dystrophin-sarcoglycan (DSG) complex. It is known that intensive tension of the antigravity extensor muscles is observed under conditions of gravitational overloading.

[Effects of a long-term space flight on human biochemical status].

Biochemical status of cosmonauts was examined during long (4-6 months) space flights. A Reflotron device and test strips with an active principle based on "dry chemistry" methods were used. Blood plasma samples were collected from the finger for later laboratory analyses.

[The main trends in the development of the equipment for physiological studies on the Earth and in space].

Recent advances in electronics and computers are widely used in present-day physiological equipment. Microprocessors are part of hardware complexes and nonstandard equipment. This increases significantly experimenter's capabilities in terms of experimental control and data processing and storage.
