[Characteristics of prevention of tuberculosis in the conditions of low prevalence of tuberculous infection].

Immunologic screening was used for examining children of five St. Petersburg regions (4155 subjects) and workers of two industrial enterprises (7700 subjects). Tuberculosis infection level in children living together with subjects of groups I, II, Va, Vb and VII dispensary record and tuberculin sensitivity in adults were determined. New risk groups of tuberculosis development have been suggested which include children from the families of subjects with residual changes of past respiratory tuberculosis with a high risk of its reactivation and adults having hyperergic tuberculin sensitivity. BCG revaccination postponement in adults aged 27-30 years is valid in conditions of low tuberculosis prevalence.

[Lesion of the heart in exotoxic shock].

The functional condition of the heart in exotoxic shock, the most severe complication in the early toxicogenic form of acute poisoning, was studied in 230 patients in whom shock had developed on the background of severe acute poisoning with fluid caustics, dichloroethane, organophosphoric insecticides or soporifics. The results of the studies show that in the phase of compensated shock the revealed disorders are mainly due to the compensatory intensification of the cardiac activity in response to the "chemical trauma". Affection of the contractile myocardium in this period of shock does not play any noticeable role in the development of hemodynamic disorders, the only exception are cases in which the preparation that had caused the poisoning possesses a specific cardiotoxic effect ("primary specific cardiotoxic effect"). The increase of the general phenomena of disorders of microcirculation and hypoxia leads to diminution of the enzyme control of metabolic processes in the myocardium and the development of secondary dystrophic changes in the myocardial fibre ("secondary nonspecific cardiotoxic effect").

[Conditions of dextranase formation by Penicillium funiculosum 15].

The influence of the following factors on the synthesis of extracellular dextranase by Pen. funiculosum 15 has been studied: the quantity and age of the inoculum, pH of the cultivation medium, stimulants of the microbial growth, cultivation temperature and time. The optimal amount of dextranase has been found to form under the following conditions: inoculum--3 day mycelium constituting 4%, cultivation time--4 to 7 days, temperature--28 to 29 degrees C, initial pH of the medium--6.0.

[Formation of dextranases by mycelial fungi and actinomycetes].

The dextranase activity of cultures of mycelial fungi of different genera and actinomycetes from the Chromogenes species of the Actinomyces genus was studied. About one third of the mycelial fungi and 8% of actinomycetes showed dextranase activity. The resulting extracellular dextranases demonstrated on endotypic pattern of action on the substrate. Actinomycete dextranases were several times more active than fungal dextranases and exhibited a significant activity in the neutral and weakly alkaline medium. Highly productive strains that are promising as dextranase producers were isolated.

[Enzyme preparations for research on protein hydrolysates and amino acid mixtures not containing peptides].

Some properties and the hydrolysing ability of two novel enzyme preparations, a proteolytic preparation "C" from Acremonium chrysogenum (Cephalosporium acremonium) and a peptidase preparation (the producer from the family Pseudomanadaceae), are described. The preparations can be used for obtaining protein hydrolysates with different ratios of free amino acids and peptides. The protein hydrolysis with the preparation "C" enables one to obtain hydrolysates containing 13-18% of free amino acids. The further treatment of the hydrolysates with the peptidase preparation results either in complete hydrolysis of the remained peptide fractions or in obtainment of solutions containing from 60 to 85% of free amino acids and low-molecular weight peptides.
