[Ambient air benzo(a)pyrene and its role in the formation of cancer morbidity in Tashkent].

The ambient air benz(a)pyrene concentration was found to be greatly variable in Tashkent in 1985 to 2005. A high correlation was established between the ambient air content of benz(a)pyrene and the rate of primary malignancy morbidity. The findings show it necessary to monitor the level of benz(a)pyrene in the ambient air of Tashkent.

[The content of benzpyrene in different areas of a megapolis].

The content of benzpyrene was studied in the ambient air of the mixed, residential, and industrial zones of Tashkent. There was no excess of the maximum allowable concentrations (MAC) of this substance in the ambient air of mixed and residential zones. There were 1.

[The influence of soybean proteins on melanoma B-16 growth versus free-radical mechanisms in tumor-bearing animals].

The study deals with antitumor action of soybean proteins as natural bio-mediators for alleviating side-effects of chemotherapy. The influence of soybean proteins on antibody formation and free-radical mechanisms in blood serum was assessed in melanoma B-16-bearing mice. Use of soybean proteins was followed by a 65% rise in inhibition of tumor growth and an 1.

[Lipid peroxidation and tumor dimensions in stomach cancer].

The parameters of lipid peroxidation were examined in blood serum of 40 patients with stomach cancer by induced chemiluminescence (CL)--Republican Research Center of Oncology, Healthcare Ministry of Uzbekistan. The CL parameters were demonstrated to increase alongside with the growing tumor mass. The induced CL of blood serum characterizes the status of lipid peroxidation and is a direct reflection of the body's reaction to tumor growth.
