Modern Electromagnetic-Radiation-Shielding Materials Made Using Different Knitting Techniques.

This paper summarizes the possibility of employing knitted textile barriers as a shield against electromagnetic fields to protect the human body from their negative impact. Ten variants of knitted fabrics made of electrically conductive yarns, steel, and copper wire that differed in stitch pattern, structural parameters, and raw material, were designed, manufactured, and tested. The knitted fabrics produced differed in structural parameters, including course and wale density, surface density, thickness, thread length in the loop, wale and course take-up, volume cover factor, and surface porosity.

Design Methodology and Technology of Textile Footwear.

Material selection is an important stage in the design of footwear, which determines not only its appearance, but also the comfort of use. The paper presents the methodology for the design of sports textile footwear manufactured by innovative hybrid technology. The upper part of the footwear, designed in CAD and a graphics program, consisted of two elements.

Effect of simvastatin on trioleylglycerol hydrolysis and transacylation with cholesterol in serum of outpatients with coronary heart disease.

At present, the most effective drugs in treating hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis are the statins, which are potent inhibitors of the rate-limiting enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase. Serum triacylglycerol (TAG) levels associate positively with the risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). Triacylglycerols are mainly hydrolyzed by the enzyme lipase (glycerol ester hydrolase [GEH], EC 3.

[Foreign body in bronchial tree inhaled in early childhood].

A case of an foreign body in bronchial tree, inhaled in early childhood, and further consequences of this event have been presented. On the basis of the above-mentioned case, a conclusion has been made, concerning the necessity of making X-rays in two plains, especially when we deal with repeating bronchitis.
