The spatial variability of Chernobyl-derived 137Cs inventories in a small agricultural drainage basin in central Russia.

Little information currently exists regarding the small-scale spatial variability of Chernobyl radiocaesium fallout and associated inventories. This contribution reports the results of a study of the variability of 137Cs inventories within the 2.18-km2 Lapki balka catchment located near Tula in central Russia. The local area was characterized by 137Cs inventories in excess of 200 kBq m-2 immediately after the Chernobyl accident and pre-existing bomb-derived inventories can be ignored in view of their very low magnitude. Field sampling and measurements included both collection of soil cores for subsequent laboratory analysis and in situ field measurements using a CORAD portable detector. The results obtained show evidence of a systematic south-north increase in the reference inventory across the basin, which must be taken into account when interpreting subsequent radiocaesium redistribution within the basin. Random spatial variability of 137Cs inventories of a similar magnitude to that reported for bomb-derived fallout was also documented. The extent of random spatial variability varied between different geomorphological units. Maximum variability, with coefficients of variation up to 20%, was associated with areas of sediment accumulation within the balka bottoms. Substantial variability (cv. typically ca. 15%) was found within flat cultivated areas and undisturbed areas both on the interfluves and on the balka sides, all of which could serve as reference sites. Minimum variability (cv. typically ca. 12%) was associated with the cultivated slopes with no evidence of sediment accumulation.

[The results of using therapeutic periorbital electrostimulations in neurology patients with partial atrophy of the optic nerves].

Results of clinical application of method of non-contact periorbital electrostimulation in 6 groups of neurologic patients (total number-246) with optic nerve pathology of different origin (post-traumatic, hypertensive, inflammatory) are summarized. Analysis of interdependence between positive results and severity of visual disorders, type of the disease, responsible for partial atrophy of optic nerve, was performed. This method of restoration of vision in investigated patients proved to be effective both in hospitals and outpatient departments.

[Surgical anatomy of the posterior tibial veins].

An investigation of the posterior tibial vascular plexus has established certain specific features of its structure both in normality and in patients with postthrombotic disease. The alterations found require an individual approach to choice of surgical measures which is finally determined intraoperatively. At the present time surgical interventions on the posterior tibial veins in patients with postthrombotic disease are thought to be of three types: extended resection, extravasal correction and plasty of the posterior tibial veins.

Clinical and physiological basis for a new method underlying rehabilitation of the damaged visual nerve function by direct electric stimulation.

A new method of rehabilitation of damaged visual nerves has been tested during clinical physiological investigations in 45 patients with pathological opticochiasmal brain tumor, inflammation and trauma. The essence of the new method was in implanting the electrode into the nerve when the patient was operated on for the pathological formation and in directly stimulating the nerves for 2 or 3 postoperational weeks. Effectiveness of electrical stimulation was increased by direct recording of the electroneurogram as well as by the results of ophthalmological observations. Considerable improvement of vision was observed in 75%, and in 25% of these cases the vision was found to actually normalize. Even in cases of total blindness, vision was partially rehabilitated in 8 of 10 cases. Direct electrophysiological investigation of the visual nerve potentials enabled us to objectively estimate their functional state, predict the probability of visual rehabilitation as well as increase the efficiency of therapy. Neurophysiological mechanisms of visual rehabilitation under the influence of electrical stimulation of the visual nerves are discussed.

[The effect of thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinamide and ascorbic acid on the formation of nitrosamines in meat products].

The data are presented on the content of nitrosamines in meat products prepared according to traditional technology versus the use of water-soluble vitamins and their complex. It is shown that the enrichment of sausage products and canned meat with thiamine, riboflavin, nicotinamide and ascorbic acid is conducive to better hygienic parameters of the products, with lower content of nitrosamines (from 29.4 to 72.6%) as compared to meat products prepared according to the traditional technology.
