[Effect of mineral water drinking on epiphyseal ultrastructure in exposure to radiation]. / Ul'trastruktura épifiza pri deistvii pit'evykh mineral'nykh vod v usloviiakh radiatsionnogo oblucheniia.

It was shown experimentally that drinking mineral water as primary prophylaxis alleviates postadiation ultrastructural changes in pinealocytes.

[The correction of the subcellular postradiation changes in the hypothalamus and parathyroid gland by using low-intensity laser radiation (an experimental study)]. / Korrektsiia subkletochnykh postradiatsionnykh izmenenii v gipotalamuse i parashchitovidnoi zheleze pri ispol'zovanii nizkointensivnogo lazernogo izlucheniia (éksperimental'noe issledovanie).

The exposure of the rat adrenals 30 days after radiation (1 Gy) to low-intensity infrared laser radiation arrests development of ultrastructural disorders in the cells of hypothalamus and parathyroid gland, enhances subcellular manifestations of adaptation and rehabilitation processes.

[Spermatogenesis in rats given potable sulfated mineral water in the early postradiation period]. / Sostoianie spermatogeneza u krys pri primenenii pit'evoi sul'fatnoi mineral'noi vody v rannem postradiatsionnom periode.

Rat experiments have shown that course intake (21 days) of sulphate sodium-magnesium-calcium water with sulphate concentration 2.6 mg/l and mineralization 3.1 g/l in early postradiation period (1-2 Gy) inhibits development of dystrophic and destructive processes in spermatogenic epithelium of the testes and maintains spermatogenesis at higher level than control.

[The action of sulfate mineral water in experimental whole-body irradiation]. / Deistvie sul'fatnoi mineral'noi vody pri obshchem radiatsionnom obluchenii v éksperimente.

The authors' experiments have shown that a course intake of sulfate mineral water after total radiation (1 and 5 Gy) can prevent and minimize dystrophic and necrobiotic changes in the liver, stimulate intracellular regeneration, reduce pathological mitoses in the small intestine. The response depended on radiation dose and time of crenotherapy start after radiation. Sulfate mineral water is also a weak radioprotector.

[The postradiation restoration of the liver by using potable mineral waters]. / Postradiatsionnoe vosstanovlenie pecheni pri primenenii pit'evykh mineral'nykh vod.

In experiments with 135 white breed-less male rats it was shown that the drinking mineral waters containing sulphate or silic ions promoted the postradiated rehabilitation in the liver after whole-body 5 Gy gamma-ray exposure. The decrease of the rate of lipid peroxidation in hepatocyte membranes, the increase of quantity normal cells and the decrease of quantity dystrophic and necrobiotic cells, the change of haemostasis took place. The iodine- and boron-containing mineral waters were less efficacious in these processes than the waters with sulphate and silic ions.

[Postradiation recovery processes in the body with the internal use of iodine-containing waters]. / Postradiatsionnye vosstanovitel'nye protsessy v organizme pri vnutrennem primeneniem iodsoderzhashchikh vod.

It is shown that both natural and dissolved iodine-bromine water given in courses to animals preexposed to 1 Gy gamma radiation promotes recovery of the damaged processes in the body. The therapeutic action of natural mineral water proved more beneficial because such water contains more iodine and minerals.

[The ultrastructural reactions of cells to the action of potable silicon-containing waters]. / Ul'trastrukturnye reaktsii kletok pri deistvii pit'evykh kremniisoderzhashchikh vod.

Hepatic structural adaptative changes at the cellular and subcellular levels were found to develop when silicon-containing waters were orally used with increases in silicon levels. There were phasic changes in the cellular bioenergy, which associated with changes in the number and extent of intercellular unions. The ultrastructures providing intracellular ion exchange are regarded as an important link in the mechanism of action of drinking natural silicon-containing waters.

[Morphometric characteristics of hepatocyte mitochondria during internal administration of boron-containing water]. / Morfometricheskaia kharakteristika mitokhondrii gepatotsitov pri vnutrennem primeneniem borsoderzhashchikh vod.

The changes of hepatic mitochondrial cells were studied in white male rats during internal application of boron-containing waters, having 250 mg/l concentration of boron, but different ionic-salt basis. Mitochondrial hepatocytes and hepatic boron content relationships were established. It was shown that during boron accumulation in liver (15 applications) decreasing of mitochondrial size occurred, independently, of the type of boron-containing waters. During stable boron level and particularly during its excretion from organism (24 applications, 6 days aftereffect), increase of size of mitochondria and their ellipticity, change of configuration, that depend on the type of applied waters was shown.

[Morphofunctional characteristics of the thyroid and a change in the level of thyroid hormones in the blood from the internal use of boron-containing waters]. / Morfofunktsional'naia kharakteristika shchitovidnoi zhelezy i izmenenia urovnia tireoidnykh gormonov v krovi pri vnutrennem primenenii borsoderzhashchikh vod.

It has been established that intake of waters identical by Br concentrations (250 mg/l) but different by an ion-salt base leads to various structural changes of the thyroid at the tissue, cellular and subcellular levels. Artificial Br-containing water induces more pronounced shifts correlating with T3 and T4, blood concentrations. The ion-salt base was found essential in the mechanism of action of Br-containing water.
