[Pharmacokinetic and dosimetric characteristics of new radiopharmaceutical based on complexes of 103Pd and albumin microspheres].

Results of the study of absorbed dose formed in organs and tissues of mice after administration of new therapeutic radiopharmaceutical on the base of 103Pd and albumin microspheres (MSA) are presented. Pharmacokinetic parameters of preparation distribution in the body of animals were experimentally determined and then absorbed doses were calculated using MCNP code for the developed mathematical model of mouse. It was shown that absorption of 103Pd-MSA in tumor, physical properties of 103Pd and daughter radionuclide 103mRh provide a targeted irradiation of tumor as compared with the adjusting tissues and critical organs.

[Classification and biological characteristics of coagulase-positive Staphylococci isolated from animals].

A total of 165 coagulase-positive staphylococcal strains of different origin (142 S. aureus strains and 23 S. intermedius strains) were subjected to biological typing in accordance with the schemes of Hajek-Marsalek and Meyer-Witte.

[Determination of the biological activity of aminoglycoside antibiotics on a dry nutrient medium of Soviet manufacture].

Possible use of the dry nutrient medium manufactured in the USSR for the assay of aminoglycoside antibiotic activity with the agar diffusion method was studied. The optimal conditions for the antibiotic activity assay on this medium were developed. The dry nutrient medium may be used for the activity assay of the aminoglycoside antibiotics, i.

[Effect of administration of ampiox and guanosine triphosphate on the concentration of cyclic nucleotides in the muscle tissue of a zone of inflammation].

Experiments on rabbits with infiltrates induced by intracutaneous injection of staphylococcal culture were made to examine the content of cyclic nucleotides in the adjacent muscle tissue under the effect of administering ampiox alone or combined with guanosine triphosphate (GTP). Combined injection of ampiox and GTP to the infected animals produced a considerable elevation in the content of cAMP (more than 2 1/2-fold) and in the cAMP/cGMP ratio along with a beneficial therapeutic effect. The possible mechanisms of action of the agents administered are discussed.

[Desoxyribonuclease and lecithinase activity in antibiotic-resistant and -sensitive staphylococci].

Staphylococcus aureus, a laboratory strain 209-P and strain I isolated freshly from infected wounds, as well as lincomycin hydrochloride, ampicillin, oxacillin and methicillin manufactured in the USSR and cephaloridin manufactured by "PLIVA" in Yugoslavia were used. Various activity levels of desoxyribonuclease and lecitinase of the staphylococci depending on sensitivity or resistance of the test-microbe to the antibiotics were shown. The activity of the above microbial enzymes characterizing the pathogenic properties decreased with development of the antibiotic resistance, sometimes to complete inactivation of the enzymes synthesized by the staphylococci.

[Method of oblique illumination in studying the morphology of Staphylococcus aureus colonies sensitive and resistant to antibiotics].

The morphology of the colonies of Staph. aureus sensitive and resistant to antibiotics and the colonies with artificial resistance to benzylpenicillin, ampicillin, oxacillin, methicillin, cephaloridin and lincomycin was studied with the method of slanting light. Changes in the morphology of the colonies were most pronounced at the beginning of the microbial resistance development first of all in the cultures of Staph.
