[Transdisciplinary approach in free radical theory of ageing. Contribution of Nikolay M. Emanuel and his scientific school to gerontology.].

The work is aimed to review the results of scientific studies of the effect of antioxidants-geroprotectors on the aging of experimental animals and the replicative aging of human diploid cells, carried out in the Department of Kinetics of Chemical and Biological Processes «KHIMBIO» of the Institute of Chemical Physics of the USSR Academy of Sciences under the leadership of academician Nikolay Markovich Emanuel in the 1960-1980s after pioneer work by D.Harman.

[Gerontological aspects of age-dependent mortality from malignant neoplasms of the population in the Russian Federation].

The demographic analysis of population-age mortality from malignant neoplasms of the population of RF in the years 1980-2008 enables to see the real presentation of the positive impact of medicine and the negative impact of the environment, but also to reveal fundamental biological processes that determine the health and life expectancy of Russian men and women. The authors allocate the leading role in the origin and development of malignant tumors for the aging process.

[Kinetic analysis of the age-specific mortality of the population of the Russian Federation: total mortality].

In this work kinetic analysis of the age-specific death rate of the population of the Russian Federation was made. We performed the verifying of the hypotheses about growth of the aging rate of the population of the Russian Federation. The verification displayed that at the time period under review the aging rate of the population of the Russian Federation had not changed, and the growth of the death rate in 90th years of the XX century associates with worsening of the living conditions.

[Historical dynamics of age-related mortality: 2. Sexual dimorphism and calculation issues].

Historical dynamics of age-related mortality of men and women in Finland, Sweden, Netherlands, Denmark, England, France, Italy, Japan, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, USA is studied. Men's over-mortality is shown to undergo regular changes in the course of time. A common regularity is found in all the studied countries within the last 50 years: a significant increase of men's over-mortality with a following decrease.

Reconstruction of the aortofemoral segment using a minilaparotomy access. Experience with 100 operations.

This paper analyzes the results of 100 aortofemoral reconstructions using a miniaccess (patient group I), performed between July 2002 and December 2004. Of these, 92 reconstructions were bilateral and 8 unilateral. The patients' age ranged within 29-83 years (mean 58.
