[Natural Childbirth after the Previous Caesarian Section is a Solved Problem].

Тhe rapid increase in the frequency of сesarian section (CS) observed in recent years (up to 60% in some countries) is alarming and reduces the reproductive potential of the population. The operated uterus remains the main indication for CS (up to 40%). This is the factor which may allow reducing the frequency of the CS by subsequent delivering through the birth canal.

Shallow carbon storage in ancient buried thermokarst in the South Kara Sea.

Geophysical data from the South Kara Sea reveal U-shaped erosional structures buried beneath the 50-250 m deep seafloor of the continental shelf across an area of ~32 000 km. These structures are interpreted as thermokarst, formed in ancient yedoma terrains during Quaternary interglacial periods. Based on comparison to modern yedoma terrains, we suggest that these thermokarst features could have stored approximately 0.

[Effects of prenatal influences of buspirone and stress on indices of inflammatory pain response and depressive behaviour in adult rats].

New data on complex realization of anxiolytic, antidepressive and antinociceptive effects of prenatal injections of a 5-HT1A agonist buspirone were obtained in prenatally stressed adult rats. Buspirone was injected to female rats from the 9th to 21st days of pregnancy; during the last week of pregnancy buspirone was injected 10 min before immobilization stress. In the adult offspring of both sexes, behavioral indices of tonic pain response in the formalin test and the indices of depression in the forced swim test were investigated.

Interrelationship between measures of pain reactions in inflammation and levels of depression in prenatally stressed rat pups.

The interrelationship between measures of pain reactions (number of flexion + shaking patterns) in the formalin test and the level of depression (duration of immobility) in the forced swimming (Porsolt) test was studied in prenatally stressed rat pups aged 7-8 days. Two series of experiments were performed, with different sequences of tests separated by intervals of one day. In the first series of experiments, the Porsolt test was performed first; in the second series, the formalin test was performed before forced swimming.

[Infants stage of rat development in behavioral parameters of depression-like state and pain response].

In the 7-8- and the 10-11-day old male rat pups born to dams exposed to an immobilization stress for the last week of pregnancy and to the dams exposed to no stress (control), behavioral parameters were studied: the level of depression in the test of forced swimming (the Porsolt's test) and 24 h after a long pain response during inflammation (the formalin test--a subcutaneous injection of 2.5% formalin into the hind leg plantar pad). In control pups, significant age-related changes in the forced swimming were revealed: the immobility time was longer in animals of the older age group, whereas no age differences were found in parameters of the persistent inflammatory pain and in flexing + shaking behavior.
