[The clinical and social characteristics of the contingents of patients with respiratory tuberculosis during the sanatorium-stage treatment].

The specific features of contingents of patients with respiratory tuberculosis were studied during the sanatorium-stage treatment in 2004-2005. Out of 317 patients (57.4% females and 42.

Effects of ionotropic glutamate receptor channel blockers on the development of pentylenetetrazol kindling in mice.

Experiments on mice were performed to study the ability of monocationic and dicationic adamantane and phenylcyclohexyl derivatives to prevent the development of kindling induced by i.p. administration of pentylenetetrazol (Corasol, 35 mg/kg).

[Effects of blockade of ionotropic glutamate receptors on the development of pentylenetetrazole kindling in mice].

Effects of mono- and dicationic derivatives of adamantane and phenylcyclohexyl on the petyleneterazole-induced (35 mg/kg i. p.) kindling were studied in the experiments on mice.
