A course of acupuncture therapy in patients with locomotor, peripheral nervous system, gynecological, and bronchopulmonary diseases led to complete or partial normalization of nonspecifically changed MDA content, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities in erythrocytes. SOD activity increased after therapy and did not differ from the control. Acupuncture stabilized disordered LPO processes and improved the antioxidant status of erythrocytes.

The catalytic properties of Co/SiO2 catalysis, modified with cations (L) of various chemical types, were investigated in the synthesis of higher hydrocarbons from synthesis gas. A number of changes ascertained in the specific catalytic activity and selectivity, depending on the nature of L, were interpreted on the basis of the previously substantiated mechanism of hydrogenation of CO on transition metals.

Abstract: Atropine and d-tubocurarine are shown to prevent convulsions in rats and mice poisoned by ammonium acetate and to protect these animals from its toxic effects. Ammonium and lactate levels in their brain were found to correlate directly with ammonium toxicity.

In a study of the influence of the temperature and rate of dehydration on the pore structure of silica gel, it has been shown that, in the drying stage, the primary condition for the formation of silica gels with molecular sieve properties is a constant rate of dehydration, ensuring uniform shrinkage of the gel framework.

The radii and radii of curvature of Stokes stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) beams are measured by the method of moments for smooth nearly Gaussian focused pump beams with the propagation ratio M2σp≤1.2. It is shown that in the case of sufficiently deeply focused pump radiation, the propagation ratio M2σSof Stokes beams near the threshold of the transient SBS is smaller than M2σpand approaches it with increasing the pump pulse energy. It is also found that the radii of Stokes beams at the output from a nonlinear medium are smaller than the radii of pump beams, while the radii of wave-front curvature are close (in modulus) to the radii of wave-front curvature for pump beams.
