Ukrainian Dietary Bread with Selenium-Enriched Soya Malt.

The production of bread with addition of selenium-enriched soya malt was studied. Processing of this soya malt included soaking of the soya beans in the solution of hydroselenite with concentration 1.5 mg Se/L (20 μg of Se per 1 g of soya beans), then 4 days of beans germination at 20 °C, drying at 50 °C until moisture content 8%, separation from the sprouts and grinding.

[Bacterial polysaccharides of polymyxan 88A. Basic characteristics and extent of possible uses].

A new high-viscous polysaccharide polymyxan from Bacillus polymyxa 88A is described. Polymyxan consists of an acid high-viscous polysaccharide (Mw 1-10 MD) and a neutral low-viscous polysaccharide (Mw 100-300 kD), which is a glucomannan containing equal amounts of monosaccharides and traces of uronic acids. The acid high-viscous polysaccharide consists of 36% glucose, 36% mannose, 7% galactose and 21% glucuronic acid.

[The importation of malaria from Afghanistan into the USSR (a retrospective analysis of data from epidemiological surveys of cases and foci during 1981-1990)].

A retrospective analysis of imported malaria due to military operations revealed the main regularities in the behaviour of Plasmodium vivax population and the relationships between the imported parasite and the native Anopheles species. High percentage of cases with protracted incubation was noted in soldiers after their home-coming; the clinical symptoms were often registered 7-12 months after return. No epidemic consequence of imported and introduced cases of tertian malaria in malariogenic areas was shown.

[Diagnostic value of load tests in the evaluation of nonspecific changes in the electrocardiogram].

The paper describes the examinations of 353 patients with various cardiovascular pathologies and changes in the end-portion of the ECG ventricular complex. For that purpose potassium chloride, obsidan, orthostatic and hyperventilation tests were used. The examinations demonstrated that the ECG changes were of functional nature in 178 patients, of organic nature in 155 patients and of mixed nature in 20 patients which was important for reliable diagnostic and expertise conclusions.
