[Changes in quantity and species composition of streptomycetes associations in soil polluted by heavy metals].

High content of Cu, Fe, Cd, Zn, Ni mobile forms in industrial platform technozems of ore-concentrating factory causes a 1.5-6.3-fold decrease of microorganisms total quantity and 3-4 fold decrease of streptomycetes amount.

[Effect of nickel compounds on glutathione-dependent antioxidant system of pea and maize shoots].

Accumulation of Ni ions in vegetative bodies of 6- and 10-days shoots of peas and maize, as well as the influence of Ni compounds on accumulation of the glutathione reduced form and activity of glutathione-dependent antioxidant enzymes were investigated. It was established, that Ni accumulation by the root system of plants is carried more efficiently, than by leaves. The increase of concentration of these toxic cations in cultivation medium results in the decrease of the glutathione reduced form in vegetative bodies of plants.

[The restoration of cardiovascular system function in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis after the use in staged medical rehabilitation of measured therapeutic physical exercise].

As many as 195 patients were studied presenting with mixed, nephrotic, and hematuric varieties of chronic glomerulonephritis (ChG), aged 6-15 years, including 118 children from the test-groups who were given a combined therapy involving differentiated rest-and-movement regimens (DRMR) and graded therapeutical physical training (GTPT) and 77 controls who received none of the above treatments. The examination involved clinical as well as functional tests (the unit "Cardiocid"-aided ECG, EchoCG on the "Combison-420-5"), with the renal function being evaluated as recommended by Ota Shiuk. Commonly seen in those being admitted into hospital was nephrogenous hypertension as were abnormal changes in myocardium associated with automatism malfunction, inadequate conductivity, and impaired myocardial contractile ability.
