The development of serum-/xeno-free media may help avoid the drawbacks of using serum and its components, such as probable contamination, instability of composition, or difficulty in sterilization. The objectives of this research were to investigate the use of combinations of a permeating cryoprotective agent (MeSO) and non-permeating polymers (polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, hydroxyethyl starch, dextran) for cryopreservation of interstitial cells (ICs) of rat testis, and to propose the mechanism of cryoprotection of such compositions. In the course of this study, the best combination was 100 mg/ml dextran (M.

The phase retardation difference, ΔΦ, is calculated for hybrid liquid crystal (LC) cells as a function of LC pretilt angles, θ0(1), θ0(2), on the opposite substrates of the cell for the case of an arbitrary angle of light incidence in the range from 0 to 90°. An LC director configuration is suggested for its application in optical compensators. Design and fabrication methods of hybrid aligned nematic (HAN) cells with an arbitrary LC pretilt angle are described.

The authors analyse 52 results of false-negative bicycle ergometry tests in patients with ischemic heart disease and stenosing coronary atherosclerosis (according to the findings of coronarography). During bicycle ergometry all patients attained submaximum pulse rate (85% of the maximum) and had a high tolerance (808 kgm/min, on the average) to exercise. False-negative results were encountered most frequently in isolated lesion of one of the coronary arteries (usually the left anterior descending branch).
