The use of monoclonal antibodies for detecting the influenza virus

The possibilities of using influenza A (Leningrad) 385/80 (H3N2) virus matrix protein-specific FITC-labeled D8 monoclonal antibodies in immunofluorescence assays were investigated. The virus antigen accumulation was detected in chorioallantoic cells of chick embryos. Exhibiting the type-specific properties, the fluorescent antibodies stain the perinuclear space, cytoplasmic membrane, and granular structures in the cytoplasm of infected cells. The haemagglutination test tires in the corresponding specimens were at least 1:16.     

Autonomic paroxysms: their pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment

In the article the rules about etiology and pathogenesis of vegetative paroxysms are stated based on careful analysis of the publications of researches as Russian, so foreign authors, and also own experimental and clinical supervision. During experimental and clinical researches the modern methods were used, enabling to estimate from positions of the system analysis different parts of pathogenesis of vegetative paroxysms, and also to offer ways of differential diagnostics of the various forms of disease. The application of some new preparations and direction of therapy of vegetative paroxysms are substantiated, and also the various circuits of treatment of the patients with distinguishing forms of given pathology are motivated.     

Structure of the repeating unit of acid polysaccharide from Alteromonas sp. 4MS17

An acidic polysaccharide from Alteromonas sp. 4MC17 is built up of trisaccharide repeating units containing D-glucose, D-mannose and D-galacturonic acid residues. On the basis of methylation studies, 1H and 13C NMR-spectroscopy data, including two-dimensional homonuclear correlation spectroscopy and nuclear Overhauser effects, the following structure was suggested for the polysaccharide repeating unit: -->4)-beta-D-Glcp-(1-->4)-beta-D-GalpA-(1-->4)-beta-D-Manp-( 1-->.     

Analysis of the Possibility of Using Fuel Based on Reclaimed Uranium in VVÉR Reactors

A current problem is to show that reclaimed uranium can be, in principle, brought into the VVÉR fuel cycle. The possibility of using fuel based on reprocessed uranium in VVÉR is analyzed. The requirements for the initial isotopic composition of test batches of fuel pellets with 4% effective enrichment are determined, the compensation coefficient is calculated, the requirements for monitoring the isotopic composition are determined, and the technlogy for fabricating fuel pellets from relaimed fuel is determined. It is shown that the basic neutron-physical characteristics satisfy the restrictions adopted in the VVÉR-440 and -1000 designs. The effect of radiation on the public and the environment as a result of switching to fuel fabricated from reclaimed uranium is the same as for the standard oxide fuel.

Anatomical basis of optimal suturing on the cross-striated skeletal muscle

Surgical procedure of the transversely cut skeletal muscle joining, taking into account the location of stump and the motor nerve stumps on the cut off, was proposed, based on the microsurgical anatomy of the motor nerves fragments of skeletal muscles data and on personal experience of the upper extremity large segments replantation and musculocutaneous flaps transplantation. The useful restoration of the muscle motor activity, estimated clinically and instrumentally, was obtained in more than 83% of observations.
