Scanning tunneling microscopy study of cytochrome P450 2B4 incorporated in proteoliposomes.

In the present paper, the application of scanning tunneling microscopy in cytochrome P450s membrane topology is discussed. The method enables visualization of heme location in the lipid-bilayer-incorporated protein. It is supposed that the membrane-bound cytochrome P450 on the tunneling microscope substrate should behave as 'molecular diode'. A model explaining the liposome and the proteoliposome images observed is proposed.

[Oncological characteristics of CC57BR mice].

The oncologic and non-oncologic morbidity in intact CC57BR mice was studied over a period of 1978-1980. Tumors occurred in 23.5%, while malignant tumors were in 14.3% of mice. Benign adenomas of lung were the most frequent 10.9%. Malignant tumors included generalized reticulosarcomatosis and leukemia 6.8%, cancer of the skin 3.4% and single different tumors. Pneumonia and enteritis were the most frequent among non-oncologic diseases. Since CC57BR mice belong to a low cancer line, they should be used for various long-term cancer and non-cancer experiments.

[Oncologic properties of non-inbred white rats raised at the Petrov Research Institute of the Ministry of Health of the USSR].

The paper discusses the incidence of spontaneous tumors and general morbidity in albino noninbred rats raised at the N. N. Petrov Research Institute of Oncology of the USSR Ministry of Health and used in different chronic experiments. It was found that spontaneous tumors occur, on the average, in 25.7 and malignancies--in 6.2%. Infectious hemorrhagic pneumonia and gastroenteritis (acute capillary toxicosis) are relatively infrequent. The general morbidity patterns in these rats are similar to those in Wistar line, the essential difference being a lower frequency of tumors of the medullar layer of adrenals. Hence, the rats bred at the Institute may be successfully used in various chronic experiments, including those associated with carcinogenic studies.

[The morphological characteristics of chronic subdural hematomas].

Preparations of chronic subdural hematomas (CSH) obtained during surgery from 29 patients aged 19-50 years are studied. Histological sections were stained with hematoxylin-eosin after van Gieson. Morphological criteria of CSH variants are defined, permitting forensic medical experts to make well-based conclusions on the nature (traumatic or not) of CSH (two types of capsules) and the time when it occurred.

[The epidemiological characteristics of fatal subdural hematomas in forensic medical practice].

A retrospective analysis of subdural hematomas is carried out: 493 in subjects dead from mechanical injuries (from files of forensic medical morgues in Tver', 1992-1994), and 37 cases with chronic subdural hematomas (from files of forensic medical morgues No. 2 and 6 in Moscow, 1995-1997). Age and sex of victims, time and circumstances of injuries, topographic and morphological features of subdural hemorrhages and their relation to concomitant injuries, and presence of ethyl alcohol in the organism are studied. The data on chronic subdural hematomas are presented. The authors emphasize the need in forensic medical studies of this condition.

[The effect of hypothermia and oxygenation on the cardiorespiratory system in man exposed to experimental weightlessness].

It has been established that hypothermia in experimental weightlessness, as compared to normal conditions, was characterized by a considerably smaller deficit of erythrocytes in the energy balance and reduced gas exchange level, despite unidirectional changes in hemodynamic parameters. Unlike in hypothermia, an increase in oxygen concentration in the inhaled gas mixture had no noticeable effect on the parameters of the cardiorespiratory system studied.

[Paramecium test for toxic substances in the blood of humans exposed to conditions simulating weightlessness].

The Paramecium test was for the first time used to measure the build-up of toxic substances in the healthy man exposed to simulated weightlessness. The most distinct changes were seen on bed rest days 3 and 7-8 in all test subjects (41 subjects). After bed rest day 8 the parameter reached a plateau, the toxicity level stopped to increase, but the Paramecium test time remained shorter than normal. It can therefore be suggested that the prognosis of any disease that may develop in this situation will be worse. In view of this it is important to improve the prophylaxis and treatment of endogenous and exogenous intoxications during space flight and to provide active detoxication based on the purification of biological fluids by sorption.
