[Anticholinesterase effect of organophosphorus and pyrethroid insecticides on some phytophages, their predators, and parasites]. / Antykholinesterazna diia fosforoganichnykh ta piretroïdykh insektytsydiv na deiaki vydy fitofagiv ïkhnikh khyzhakiv i parazytiv.

The normal catalytic activity of insects cholinesterases was determined: Apanteles glomeratus L., Coccinella septempunctata L., Rhopalosiphum padi L. and Pieris brassicae L. Constants of bimolecular interaction of three insecticides for insects were calculated: cholinesterase of C. septempunctata were the most sensitive to Bi-58 new [Kii = (4.54 +/- 0.23). 10(4)], cholinesterase of aphids was revealed to be the most sensitive to acetec [Kii = (2.9 +/- 0.14). 10(5)]. The studies have been carried aimed to determination of anticholinesterase actioncoefficients: acetec demonstrated the selective anticholinesterase activity in the system Aphididae--Coccinellidae (Kache = 118.9). Its anticholinesterase activity underlies in the toxicity mechanism for the given species.

[Significance of activities of a medical sanitary detachment from complex expedition if the USSR Academy of Sciences (1925-1930) in the development of surgical treatment for osteoarticular tuberculosis in Iakutiia]. / Znachenie rabot mediko-sanitarnogo otriada kompleksnoí ékspeditsii AN SSSR (1925-1930gg) v razvitii khirurgicheskogo lecheniia kostno-sustavnogo tuberkuleza v Iakutii.

The paper shows the value of the activities of a medical sanitary detachment from the complex expedition of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1925-1930) in the development of surgical treatment for bone and joint tuberculosis and its sequelae in adults from Yakutia. A total of 981 operations were made from 1951 to 1994. Priorities were given to timely surgical interventions, including radical reparative spinal and joint operations, by using the Ilizarov apparatus.

[Gd- allele distribution patterns in Azerbaijan. III. The identification of mutant forms of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase]. / Zakononmernosti raspredelemiia allelei Gd- v Azerbaidzhane. Soobschenie III. Identifikatsiia mutantnykh form gliukozo-6-fosfatdegidrogenazy.

In 28 families with G6PD deficiency living in 3 settlements of Shekii district of Azerbaijan 11 G6PD variants of II and III classes differing by kinetic properties were identified according WHO program. 9 of them are characterized with the same electrophoretic mobility. Comparison of G6PD spectra in two subpopulations and in a mixed group permits to make a conclusion about existence of common and rare G6PD alleles in examined population. They distribute by gene drift supported by natural selection. Among 7 samples of G6PD with normal and increased activity two new variants of IV class -- Nukha and Bash-Kungut -- were found.

[Genetic heterogeneity of G6PD deficiency: mutant alleles of G6PD in the Shekii district of Azerbaijan]. / Geneticheskaia geterogennost' G6FD-nedostatochnosti: issledovanie mutantnykh allelei G6FD v Shekinskom raione Azerbaidzhanskoi SSR.

Examination on G6PD deficiency in 349 patients of Shekii district hospital (Azerbaijan) revealed 16 hemi-, 4 homo- and 9 heterozygotic carriers of the defect. Gd- frequency, calculated from the data obtained (7.7%), may be compared to neighbouring regions' frequencies (6-30%). Carriers of G6PD deficiency are residents of 11 villages located in Alasani-Aphtalan valley, highly endemic with malaria in the past; nearly all marriages are endogamic. Physico-chemical and kinetic study of 10 mutant forms of G6PD, according to WHO program, led to identification of 5 variants of the II class (Shekii, Bideiz, Shirin-Bulakh, Okhut I and Zakataly) and 2 variants of the III class (Okhut II and Martinique-like). Resemblance of the majority of variants in electrophoretic mobility and the level of erythrocyte enzyme activity permit to suggest the existence of a common parental mutant G6PD allele distributed in this area.
