[The ecology and prevalence of arboviruses on the territory of the Saratov Region].

The territorial spread of Tahyna, Batai, Sindbis, West Nile fever and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever viruses throughout the Saratov region in 1998 - 2000 was analyzed. The characteristics of the epizootic activity of the natural foci of these arboviruses in different landscape zones (temperate forest-steppes, steppes and semi-deserts) were calculated. The species composition of small mammals, the natural reservoirs of the causative agents of arbovirus infections, was determined.

[Therapeutic use of an enriched insulin-glucose-heparin mixture in acute myocardial infarct]. / Lechebnoe primenenie obogashchennoi insulino-gliukozo-geparinovoi smesi u bol'nykh ostrym infarktom miokarda.

Data on clinical efficiency of concentrated insulin-glucose-heparin mixture in 52 patients with acute myocardial infarction are presented. In the control group (19 patients) routine treatment was supplemented by heparin administration. The efficiency of the insulin-glucose-heparin mixture was assessed on the basis of general clinical data as well as radioimmuno-assays of plasma myoglobin patterns. The treated patients demonstrated a more favourable course of infarction, and manifest positive changes in their ECG parameters and blood transaminase activity. Myoglobinemia augmentation was inhibited within the first hours of myocardial infarction. It is suggested that the therapeutic mixture examined is conducive to limiting the area of myocardial lesion.
