[Creation of transgenic sugar beet lines expressing insect pest resistance genes cry1C and cry2A].

Impact of insect pests makes a significant limitation of the sugar beet crop yield. Integration of cry-genes of Bacillus thuringiensis into plant genome is one of the promising strategies to ensure plant resistance. The aim of this work was to obtain sugar beet lines (based on the MM 1/2 line) transformed with cry2A and cry1Cgenes.

[The nutrition of patients who have undergone vertical gastroplasty for severe forms of obesity].

The energy ration value and supply of the main nutrients were studied by 24-h reproduction before and after operations in 33 morbid obesity patients who had undergone vertical gastroplastic surgery. The surgery was accompanied by reducing of surplus mass of the body by 25-71.7% and at the same time by reducing caloric content of the ration from average 4726.

[Experience in using the biologically active additive "miprovit" in the treatment of various metabolic diseases].

Using of protein and vitamin enriched preparation "Miprovit" in treatment of 90 patients with obesity showed decreasing effect on serum cholesterol and glucose levels and coefficient of atherogenity which were increased in these patients. Decreasing of appetite and feeling of hungry were noted in 75% of patients. "Miprovit" favoured more comfortable feeling of patients during course of body weight reduction.
