[Systemic and pathogenetic approach: a new look at traditional Chinese medicine].

A mere focused medical specialization and standardization, the lack of a holistic, systemic view of the human body, leads to a deadlock in the further development of modern medicine. P.K.

Development of immunosensor based on OWLS technique for determining Aflatoxin B1 and Ochratoxin A.

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by a number of different fungi, and can be present in a wide range of food and feed commodities including cereal grains, oil seeds, dried fruits, apple juice, wine and meat products from animals fed contaminated meal. Many mycotoxins are highly resistant, and survive food processing, and therefore enter the food chain and provide a threat to human health. The optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy (OWLS) technique has been applied to the detection of Aflatoxin and Ochratoxin in both competitive and in direct immunoassays.

[Application of chemiluminescent technique for determination of Daphnia magna sensitivity to various types of toxic agents].

The character and intensity of activated chemiluminescence of Daphnia living medium are investigated depending on the effect on them of various concentration different in nature toxic substances, such, as potassium bichromate, methomyl and tween-80. It is shown, that the toxic influence of these agents can be defined by registration of stimulating effect of Daphnia's exometabolites on the process of chemiluminescence. The sensitivity of the method makes: for potassium chromate--0.

[Chemiluminescence of daphnia cultivating medium and optimization of conditions for its determination].

The article deals with the optimization of conditions for the chemiluminescence determination. The Daphnia habitat was shown to have no spontaneous chemiluminescence. This was revealed using hydrogen peroxide and luminol, the optimal concentrations of which were 23 and 1.
