[Growth peculiarities of hydrocarbon-oxidizing rhodococcus and pseudomonads dissociates in mono- and mixed cultures].

Growth of R-, S-, and M-dissociates of Rhodococcus rubropertinctus in mixed culture with R-, S-, and M-dissociates of Rhodococcus aeruginosa in comparison with rhodococcus monoculture cultivated on mineral nutrient medium with hexadecane has been studied. The amount of cells in the stationary growth phase has increased 10-15 times in comparison with the monoculture, and pseudomonads which dominated in population, in associations of M-dissociate of R. rubropertinctus with any dissociate of R.

Predicting transitory mood from physical activity level among people with severe mental illness in two cultures.

Background: Previous studies have indicated that physical activity (PA) is positively related to health-related quality of life and well-being among people with severe mental illness (SMI). Physical activity is broadly defined in this research as any skeletal muscle movement resulting in energy expenditure, including common daily activities such as housework and gardening, as well as walking for transportation and formal exercise. Although the physical health benefits of PA are well documented, evidence suggests that PA provides psychological benefits as well.

[Activation of endogenous nucleases as affected by sodium arsenate and cisplatin].

Screening of pharmaceutical agents releasing active nucleases from inactive complexes was performed. Cisplatin and sodium arsenate were shown in vitro to have such properties. Sodium arsenate which is more expedient for the treatment of human patients was studied in vivo.

[Q fever in the western region of Ukraine].

Multiple natural and mixed foci of Q fever have been revealed at the territory of six administrative regions of the western part of the Ukraine. Coxiella burnetii strains have been isolated from small animals and ticks, the specific features of their ecology in Poles'e and forest-steppe zones have been determined. The necessity of the study of natural foci of Q fever at not yet surveyed territories for at least 3-4 years has been substantiated.
