[Genetic demographic study of Shors in Tashtagolskiĭ district of the Kemerovo region: changes in the marriage migration structure].

The changes in the marriage structure with respect to the age at marriage, ethnicity, and spouses' birthplaces during the period of time corresponding to two generations have been analyzed in the rural population of Shors of Tashtagolskii raion of Kemerovo oblast. In general, the Shor population had a high assortative marriage rate with respect to these parameters in the period studied, although there was a temporary tendency towards its decrease. The ages of marriage for both the male and the female Shor populations in the years 2000-2005 were significantly older than in 1940-1945 and 1970-1975.

[Genetic demographic study of Shors in Tashtagolskii raion of Kemerovo oblast: population dynamics and changes in the sex and age composition].

The population dynamics and changes in the sex and age structure of the Shor populations of four rural district municipalities of Tashtagolskii raion of Kemerovo oblast (Kyzyl-Shorskii, Ust-Anzasskii, Ust-Kolzasskii, and Ust-Kabyrzinsskii) with time have been analyzed. The Shor populations have been found to have contained a high proportion of people under 18 years of age during two periods, 1940-1955 and 1970-1975 (38.12-46.

[Oral insulin preparations for the regulation of the glucose level in the blood].

Oral administration of diluted solutions of insulin results in the absorption of the hormone into bloodstream. After oral administration of diluted insulin solutions to healthy volunteers and animals with experimental diabetes insulin does not undergo hydrolytic degradation under the action of proteolytic enzymes and its absorption is sufficient to produce the hypoglycemic effect. This approach gives a chance of creating of novel strategy for diabetes treatment.

[Microbiological and biogeochemical processes in a pockmark of the Gdansk depression, Baltic Sea].

Comprehensive microbiological and biogeochemical investigation of a pockmark within one of the sites of gas-saturated sediments in the Gdansk depression, Baltic Sea was carried out during the 87th voyage of the Professor Shtokman research vessel. Methane content in the near-bottom water and in the underlying sediments indicates stable methane flow from the sediment into the water. In the 10-m water layer above the pockmark, apart from methane anomalies, elevated numbers of microorganisms and enhanced rates of dark CO2 fixation (up to 1.
