BRAIN INTEGRATED ACTIVITY IN MEDICAL STUDENTS UNDER CONDITIONS OF ADAPTATION TO PSYCHOEMOTIONAL STRESS.

According to the results of the study the development of adaptation to psychoemotional stress, which is considered as an emotional stress in medical students during the first three years of study, has a dynamic and multifactorial character. The degree of adaptation processes' manifestation is analyzed and it is shown that it correlates with the intellectual capacity, which is based on the features of the brain integrative activity. During the study, the brain integrative activity was studied according to the information indicators of the higher (memory, internal time tracking) and central (stabilometric reaction, functional asymmetry degree) levels. The objective indicator of the internal time tracking study is an individual minute duration (IMD). Students who have been marked an adequate adaptation to psychoemotional stress in the process of increasing the duration of training at the university, showed an increase in the accuracy of internal time. This was observed in the increase of 70-80% of students with normative values of IMD.

Optical vector network analysis of ultranarrow transitions in 166Er3+ : 7LiYF4 crystal.

We present optical vector network analysis (OVNA) of an isotopically purified Er1663+:LiYF47 crystal. The OVNA method is based on generation and detection of a modulated optical sideband by using a radio-frequency vector network analyzer. This technique is widely used in the field of microwave photonics for the characterization of optical responses of optical devices such as filters and high-Q resonators. However, dense solid-state atomic ensembles induce a large phase shift on one of the optical sidebands that results in the appearance of extra features on the measured transmission response. We present a simple theoretical model that accurately describes the observed spectra and helps to reconstruct the absorption profile of a solid-state atomic ensemble as well as corresponding change of the refractive index in the vicinity of atomic resonances.

Structural and spectral characterization of novel non-centrosymmetric 2,4-dintrobenzene derivative.

A novel organic compound 9-(2,4-dinitrophenyloxy)-3,3,8-trimethyl-1,5-dihydro-[1,3]dioxepino[5,6-c]pyridine (DNPAP) has been synthesized and a nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal has been grown by slow evaporation method. Compound was subjected to different characterization analyses in order to find out its suitability for optoelectronic applications. Single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction analyses show that DNPAP crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pca21. The range of optical absorption was ascertained by recording UV­Vis spectrum. The second harmonic generation (SHG) test has shown that DNPAP possesses 6.4-times higher NLO efficiency compared to KDP.

[The surgical procedure in the Mallory-Weiss syndrome]. / Khirurgicheskaia taktika pri sindrome Mallori--Veisa.

The authors dealt with treatment of 112 patients aged 27-70 years with the Mallory-Weiss syndrome. The diagnosis was confirmed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Diathermocoagulation was used in order to arrest bleeding. In profuse bleeding the margins of the mucosa fissures were first infiltrated with a solution of adrenaline. The Blakemore [correction of Bleikmorr] probe compression method was also used. Organ-saving operations were performed for continuing and recurrent bleedings. Two elderly patients with severe coexistent disease died. The authors consider that patients with the Mallory-Weiss syndrome must be treated by conservative methods. Operations for disruptions of the esophagus mucosa and acute blood loss will entail great risk.

[Potential use of the monosaccharide composition of bacteria for their identification]. / O vozmozhnosti ispol'zovaniia monosakharidnogo sostava bakterii dlia ikh identifikatsii.

The monosaccharide composition of cell hydrolysates can be used as a criterion for the chemical differentiation of gram-positive bacteria. The monosaccharide composition of six bacterial species belonging to the genus Bacillus has been determined using gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and computers. The qualitative composition was similar, glucose, galactose, ribose and glucosamine being the main components in all of the species. Some Bacillus species differed in their minor components. Although the monosaccharide composition appeared to be homogeneous, bacteria can be identified in terms of their carbohydrate profile using computers. To this end, the monosaccharide composition of bacterial cells is represented as a two-dimensional data file including the qualitative composition of components and the quantity of each component.
