[Factors determining application activity for and satisfaction with medical care among able-bodied population of closed industrial city].

According to a poll results, nearly 16.5% of questioned able-bodied inhabitants of industrial city mentioned unsatisfactory health state of self, with main reasons of negative environmental influence and low availability of quality medical care. Most respondents (81.1%) are characterized by poor medical activity. Over a quarter of the questioned (25.7%) are dissatisfied with provided medical care. The main factors determining medical activity and satisfaction with medical care are age, sex, employment place and income level.

[The health status of population in the Tomsk oblast'].

The protection and promotion of population's health is a necessary condition for the provision of national security, stable economic growth and preservation of the Russian way of life. While working out the strategy of the protection and promotion of population's health, we analyzed the dynamics of the basic indicators of population's morbidity and also studied the self-estimation of health status and the personal medical activity of regional population. As a result of this, the increase in the prevalence of socially significant diseases against some reduction in the levels of primary and general morbidity was noted. The results of a sociological survey showed that personal medical activity of citizens is not high and ineffective, and factors indicated by respondents as reasons for ill health are potentially manageable. In this connection the preventive activity should be, first of all, aimed at changing the behavior of population in relation to one's own health and the minimization of the negative effect of manageable risk factors.

[The effect of oxidized cholesterol derivatives on the absorption and degradation of very low density beta-lipoproteins by human and rabbit hepatocytes]. / Vliianie okislennykh proizvodnykh kholesterina na pogloshchenie i degradatsiiu beta-lipoproteinov ochen' nizkoi plotnosti gepatotsitami cheloveka i krolika.

In our study the influence of oxidated cholesterol derivatives (7 alpha, 7 beta-oxicholesterol, 7-ketocholesterol, cholestene-3-one) on binding and degradation of beta-VLDL by human and rabbit hepatocytes was investigated. Cholesterol oxy derivatives inhibit the degradation of beta-VLDL in rabbit hepatocyte culture. There is no such effect with human hepatocytes. However beta-VLDL binding with human hepatocytes is significantly decreased under oxidated cholesterol derivatives influence.

[Methods of determining the concentration of total lipids and phosphorus in the bile]. / Sposoby opredeleniia kontsentratsii obshchikh lipidov i fosfora v zhelchi.

Standard kits of reagents, manufactured in the CSSR, intended for measurements of the blood serum and urinary lipids and phosphorus, were used for measurements of these component' concentrations in the bile. The levels of the total lipids and phosphorus in the bladder bile, measured with the use of this kit in normal subjects, did not essentially differ from those reported in literature.

[Effect of a variable magnetic field on activity of enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism and tissue respiration in testicular tissue]. / Vliianie peremennogo magnitnogo polia na aktivnost' fermentov uglevodnogo obmena i potreblenie kisloroda v tkani semennikov.

The 200 Oe magnetic field of power frequency produces an essential effect on metabolism in the tissue of the testicles which are highly sensitive to this factor. A single effect of the field for 24 h results in an increase in the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. 24-28 h after the cessation of the field action it lowers considerably as well as the cytochrome oxidase and hexokinase activities in mitochondria. The lactate dehydrogenase and succinate dehydrogenase activities increased in this case. Restoration of the initial level is marked on the 7th-14th days. Under repeated actions of the stimulation phase the enzymic activities under study (except the lactate dehydrogenase one) are decreased. The mentioned indices restore the initial level on the 14th-28th days. These changes correlates with dynamics of the testosterone level in the testicles and plasm.
