Study into the Fire and Explosion Characteristics of Polymer Powders Used in Engineering Production Technologies.

Polymers and their processing by engineering production technologies (injection, molding or additive manufacturing) are increasingly being used. Polymers used in engineering production technologies are constantly being developed and their properties are being improved. Granulometry, X-ray, FTIR and TGA were used to characterize polymer samples.

[Development of recommendations for legislation's harmonization of Eurasec member states in the field of children's healthcare rights in educational institutions of various types].

In the paper there are presented the main results of the performed study on comparative legal analysis of national legislative acts in the field of providing of children's rights for health care in institutions of various types for the delivery of recommendations for harmonization of legislation of States--members of the Eurasian Economic Community.

[Cytogenetic disorders in the oral mucosa epitheliocytes of children and adolescents living in the areas with different degrees of environmental chemical pollution].

Unlabelled: The frequency of micronuclei (MN) in the oral mucosal epitheliocytes, the health status, the environment, and living, upbringing, and education conditions were studied in 5-6-year-old children and 15-16-year-old adolescents living in Saint Petersburg.

Objective: to identify cytogenetic disorders in the somatic cells of the buccal epithelium in the children and adolescents residing in the areas with different degrees of toxic ambient air and soil pollution.

Methods: hygienic, sociological, mathematical-and-statistical, and cytogenetic (micronucleus test) studies.

[Evaluation of reasons of the MDR M. tuberculosis strains dissemination by analysis of the rifampicin and/or isoniazid resistant isolates].

During the last years in Novosibirsk region of Russia the rate of TB patients infected by MDR strains of M. tuberculosis has been constantly increasing. This increase may occur as a result of the spontaneously mutated mycobacterium selection during treatment of patients or as a result of primary infection by the resistant M.

[Molecular and genetic characterization of rifampicin- and/or izoniazid-resistent strains of M. tuberculosis, isolated in Novosibirsk and Tomsk regions].

The purpose of the work was to study rifampicin- and izoniazid-resistent strains of M. tuberculosis, circulating in Western Siberia, by VNTR and IS6110 typing. The authors also studied genetic causes of resistance to these antibiotics and undertook a search of new VNTR loci, displaying polymorphism in genomes of closely related clonally-disseminated variants of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in W-Beijing family model analysis.
