[Molecular genetic characteristics of tick-borne encephalitis virus in the crimea].

The nucleotide sequences of the envelope (E) protein gene of three tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) strains 80, 85, and 290 isolated from Ixodes ricinus ticks in the Crimea in 1989-1990 were determined. A comparative analysis of the genetic structure of the strains showed their identity. A phylogenetic analysis of these strains with 34 other TBEV strains could assign them to the European genotype and showed their maximum (97.

[Ultrastructural organization of carcinoma Lewis (3LL) cells during cisplatin resistance formation].

The electron-microscopic analysis of the morphological status of 3LL (Lewis) carcinoma tumour cells in the process of cisplatin resistant phenotype formation has been performed. It was shown that selection of tumour cells forming cell clones characterized by more complicated nuclear and cytoplasm organization took place. The tumour cells had the diffused nuclear chromatin; nuclear envelope had the numerous pores with expanded diaphragms.

[Use of WOBE-MUGOS E for prevention and correction of experimental doxorubicin side-effects].

Examined in treating rats with Guerin's carcinoma with doxorubicin was the possibility that the polyenzymic drug preparation wobe-mugos E had hepatoprotective, cardioprotective and myeloprotective effects. In intramuscular administration wobe-mugos E has not been found to stimulate the tumour growth, it exhibited a manifest hepatoprotective and myeloprotective actions with respect to adverse reactions of doxorubicin but failed to diminish cardiotoxicity of the latter. The protective effect of the above polyenzymic drug was of a dose-dependent character.

[The enterosorbents belosorb and panzysorb in the treatment of acute experimental pancreatitis in rats].

Enterosorption with highly dispersed fibrous carbon adsorbent Belosorb or enzyme-containing fibrous carbon adsorbent Panzysorb was applied for the treatment of experimental acute pancreatitis (EAP) in the rats. Panzysorb was obtained by immobilization of digestive hydrolases (proteases and amylase) on Belosorb as matrix. It was shown that oral administration of Panzysorb (100 mg/kg body weight) significantly decreased amylolytic and lipolytic activity of blood serum by the third hour after EAP induction.
