The article presents obtained results on using remote infrared thermograph in medical practice in Ukraine. It was shown that appearance of domestic thermographs with matrix photoreceiver enhances considerably an area of their use. New results related to diagnosis of a patient's state were obtained.

[Magnetic resonance of magnetically ordered nanoscale particles in brain tissue].

Nature of unusual resonance signals, which can be registered by spectrometers of electron paramagnetic resonance, are studied in different weakly mineralized biological tissues. The experiments are carried out in a three-centimeter range of waves on human and animal (rats) brain tissues and on the organic component of mollusk shells. In these materials the unusual resonance signals, which have unique dynamic characteristics, are registered.

[Stimulation of medical personnel work in operating rooms].

Preliminary results of experimental trial on stimulation of medical staff's labour in the operation unit, held in medical institutions of Chelyabinsk, has been analysed. As a basis for calculation of the payments for the work, the labour expenditures of each member of surgical team (surgeon, assistant, anesthesiologist, surgical nurse, anesthesist, litter bearer nurse) and the cost of 1 hour work were assessed, the degree of the difficulty of each operation, as well as the total cost of the procedure was determined. Registration of the work of all members of the surgical team and its payment, according to the quantity and the quality of the performed operations, demonstrates the stage of transition to the system of payment for the labour, i.

[The potentials and outlook for the clinical use of infrared telethermography in traumatic lesions of the lower extremity].

The article contains a description of a thermographic pattern of a healthy inferior limb and elucidates the question of thermographic characterization of healthy people. Reasons are provided for a limited application of the method of remote infrared thermography in the orthopedic and traumatological practice. Analyzing the results obtained the authors come to the conclusion that it is justifiable to use the method in the orthopedic and traumatological practice, in the diagnosis of inflammatory diseases of the locomotor system in particular.

[Morphological characteristics of central and peripheral organs of rat immune system in time course of adaptation to external low-dose gamma irradiation].

The morphohistochemical changes in immune system lymphoid organs and skin of rats, exposed to single and fractionated gamma-radiation (0.35 Gy) were studied during 1 month. It has been revealed that single irradiation didn't significantly influence, while the fractionated irradiation in equal dose resulted in lymphoid cells elimination from thymus and spleen and changes in skin and bone marrow cells subsets, inducing the increase of lymphoid cells number and activation of tissue basophils and macrophages reaction.

[The role of the thymus gland in the development of adaptation reactions of the immune system during fractionated low-level gamma irradiation].

In experiments with normal and thymectomized rats it has been revealed that exposure of normal animals to 0.35 Gy of gamma-radiation induces changes in blood cells subsets, depression of NK functional activity, decrease in polymorphonuclear leukocyte basal chemiluminescence level, suppression of the delayed type of hypersensitivity reaction and stimulation of local IgE-synthesis in respiratory organs. At the same time irradiation of adult thymectomized animals did not resulted in significant fluctuations in cellular and humoral immunity indices as well as blood cells functional activity level.

[Minerals of biological origin: their structural formation and properties].

A study is presented of human tooth enamel and its changes during heating. The measurements were done by methods of electron paramagnetic resonance, roentgen structural analysis and gaseous chromatography. A new effect has been found related to changes of enamel structure during heating.

[The methodology of thermal diagnostic study].

The authors analyze existing methods of thermodiagnosis. They discuss the possible ways of increasing the independence of this method in informative valid diagnosis. It is recommended to carry out total thermographic examination of patients and the use of methods of active thermography.

[An automated thermographic complex: new possibilities of the diagnosis of ORL disease].

The Kiev Research Institute of Otorhinolaryngology has built an automatic diagnostic system that includes a Raduga thermograph and a CM-1403 computer. The diagnostic algorithms are based on the thermosemiotics of ENT inflammatory diseases developed by the authors. The advantages of the system are: production of a hard copy of thermograms, registration and long storage of information, mathematical treatment of thermal images, data base and rapid search for the thermogram needed, screening diagnosis based on the "healthy-sick" principle.

[The possibilities of protection against local radiation injuries in ORL-oncologic patients].

Quercetin granules and gel were used to provide local protection in 64 ENT-cancer patients given radiotherapy. The highest effect was obtained as a result of a combined (per os and topical) application of quercetin throughout the entire radiotherapy course. The use of quercetin granules to treat acute radiation-induced epithelitis was effective and allowed radiotherapy to be completed.
