[The effect of industrial factors on specific functions and the course of pregnancy and labor in workers of the Orgsintez Manufacturing Association].

Women engaged in the production of chlorine, divinyl and propylene oxide are exposed during the working shift to unfavourable occupational factors: gas, dust, noise, emotional and physical stress, inadequate microclimate. All that disorders the specific functions and health status. Diseases in women working for 'Orgsintez' enterprise are closely connected with the length of service.

[Experimental estimation of the effect of antibiotics, immobilized on the surface of titanium implant, on the development of the inflammatory process].

Titanium implants with immobilized lincomycin and ampicillin were studied on rats with respect to the effect on development of inflammatory reactions. The data on the concentrations of sialic acids in the blood during the postoperative period and the histological examinations showed that lower concentrations of sialic acids, early fibroblastic reaction, productive nature of inflammation in the main and rapid formation of the fibrous connective tissue capsule around the implants were the characteristic features and advantages of the use of the implants with the immobilized antibiotics as compared to the use of the routine titanium implants.

[Immobilization of antibiotics on a titanium surface].

Immobilization of antibiotics on the surface of electrolytically oxidated titanium was tried. Transfer of the immobilized ampicillin into hardly soluble calcium ampicillate resulted in providing the coating with antimicrobial activity for 5 days. The quantity of the immobilized antibiotic determined polarographically amounted to 6.
