[Isoelectrofocusing and photocolorimetry for determination of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)].

Analytical reliability of a new method for determination of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been evaluated. The method is based on hemoglobin isolation during isoelectrofocusing followed by acidic hydrolysis and photocolorimetry of furfurol formed after its reaction with thiobarbituric acid. At diabetic and non-diabetic levels inter- and intraserial reproducibility varied from 6 to 21%. Sensitivity of this method was determined using physiological solution and 50% albumin.

[Rehabilitation of patients suffering from closed spinal trauma with damage to the spinal cord]. / Reabilitatsiia bol'nykh pri zakrytoi travme pozvonochnika s povrezhdenniem spinnogo mozga.

Results of complex rehabilitative treatment of 652 patients with above kind of pathology are examined. Outcomes of motor mobility depending on the level and severity of the injury are shown. In spine-spinal cord injury 77.3% of patients could walk using supplementing devices. The percent of I group invalidity depending on the level of spinal cord injury varies from 74.6-92.7%, II group invalidity--0.8-7.5%, III group invalidity--0.8-3.5%.

[Effect of a permanent magnetic field on the thyroid status]. / Vliianie postoiannogo magnitonogo polia na sostoianie shchitovidnoi zhelezy.

Rats were exposed to a constant magnetic field of 26268A/m. Depending on the exposure time, the thyroid gland showed changes in the follicular epithelium height, content of ribonucleoproteins and PAS-positive substance, activity of adenylate cyclase, whereas blood serum exhibited changes in the concentration of thyroid hormones and no changes in the content of thyrotropic hormone.
