[Investigation of interaction between silver ions and rutin in water by physical methods].

UV-vis, ASM, AAS, SERS, thermodynamics, kinetics were used to study the reduction of silver ions in excess of rutin to nanoparticles with and without addition of alkali. The reaction consists of a fast redox stage of cluster Ag (1 min) with adsorbed rutin. The secondary stage of a primary nanoparticles ends after 30 minutes.

Does malnutrition in utero determine diabetes and coronary heart disease in adulthood? Results from the Leningrad siege study, a cross sectional study.

Objective: To investigate the relation between decreased maternal food intake and risk factors for coronary heart disease in adult life.

Design: Cross sectional study.

Subjects: 169 subjects exposed to malnutrition in utero (intrauterine group) during the siege of Leningrad (now St Petersburg) in 1941-4; 192 subjects born in Leningrad just before rationing began, before the siege (infant group); and 188 subjects born concurrently with the first two groups but outside the area of the siege (unexposed group).

[Prognostic significance of bicycle ergometry test in patients with myocarditis].

A total of 42 patients with rheumatic carditis were examined in the acute-subacute period and following 3-5 years. Seventeen patients were diagnosed as having primary rheumatic carditis, 9 presented with tonsillogenic rheumatic carditis, and 16 had viral rheumatic carditis. The diagnosis of myocarditis was established on the basis of clinical, immunological, and virological findings.
