Effect of Biocides on the Activity of Extracellular Enzymes Produced by Degrader Fungi from Technical Objects Used in Tropical Climates (Vietnam).

Activity of extracellular enzymes was assessed in 20 strains of microscopic fungi involved in biodegradation of technical objects exploited under tropical climate conditions (Vietnam). It was found that 19 strains possessed catalase activity, 18 strains had phenol oxidase activity, and eight strains had protease activity. The effect of industrial biocides on the activity of these enzymes was also assessed.

[Some comparative aspects of treating the gastroesophageal reflux disease eradication].

At present proton pump inhibitors have been the most efficient drugs for treating the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Pariet may be selected as a drug for treating all forms of GERD as it requires smaller doses and shorter treatment period to obtain the clinical and endoscopic remission. Upon the clinical and endoscopic remission, patients need a supportive treatment.

[The clinical significance of MDR-1 gene expression in the hemopoietic cells of patients with acute leukemias in different phases of the disease].

Aim: Analysis of cytostatic therapy effects on expression of gene MDR-1 in hemopoietic cells of patients with acute leukemia (AL) in complete clinicohematological remission (CCHR).

Materials And Methods: The study included 48 AL patients. 27 of them were untreated, 25 were resistant to or had recurrent AL.
