[Digestive enzymes in rat saliva following selective or total removal of the salivary glands].

After partial or total removal of salivary glands, parotid glands secreted practically the whole amount of alpha-amylase, DN-ase, and major portion of RN-ase, the submandibular glands providing more than 2/3 of the whole production of salivain. Comparison of output of enzymes with or without pilocarpin stimulation showed parotid glands to be the glands with periodical secretion and submandibular glands--with permanent secretion.

[The effect of different vacuum therapy regimens on protein and mineral metabolism in periodontal tissues].

Radionuclide label was used to study the effects of various vacuum therapy schemes on the protein and mineral metabolism in periodontal tissues. Vacuum therapy was found to normalize Ca, P, and protein metabolism in spontaneous atrophy of the alveolar processes in white rats. Focal dosed vacuum was found the most effective. These data will be used to develop a complex of measures to prevent atrophies of the maxillary alveolar processes.

[An evaluation of the economic loss from intestinal helminthiases in the Uzbek SSR].

Calculations of economic loss costs due to procedures for helminth detection and the out-patient treatment of recognized cases of enterobiasis, hymenolepiasis, taeniasis, ascariasis, trichocephaliasis in the Uzbek SSR in 1985 were made as were the costs of inpatient treatment in the specialized clinics in 1986 with account for the loss due to the related decrease in the national output and payments for disability. Their total turned to be about 1.8 million rubles.

[Cases of mass karakurt bites in Uzbekistan].

In 1981-1984 in Uzbekistan (the Navoi and Khorezm Provinces, the Karakalpak ASSR) 463 cases of bites by Latrodectus tredecimguttatus have been registered (372 cases, in 1983). The highest number of bites was observed at the end of May and the first half of July. Mild and subacute intoxications prevailed. No fatal outcomes were registered. The L. tredecimguttatus bites occurred mostly during the night sleep in the tents. A high number of spiders in the pastures (3-4 specimens per sq. meter) was due to abundant atmospheric precipitation and heat in 1980-1982. The treatment of spiders' accumulation sites with 2.0% chlorophos solution or 12.0% HCCH dust killed the spiders, which resulted in considerable decrease in the number of registered intoxication cases.
