Comparative Analysis of Self-Diffusion Mechanisms in AII BVI, AIII BV and AIV BVI Semiconductor Compounds
Presented by Corr.Member of the Academy T.Sanadze, October 31,2000
Abstract.
Self-diffusion in semiconductors of AII BVI, AIII BV and AIV BVI - type is studied and on the ground of a new mechanism of diffusion the earlier inexplicable experimental facts are explained. The value of self-diffusion coefficients of A atoms are always greater, and their temperature dependences weaker than those of B atoms. According to this mechanism the element migratory act is defined by the change of potential energy of chemical bond of migrated atom to another atoms. Herewith, the way of change is not significant ( light, injection, temperature). The coincidence of experimental data and the temperature dependences of self-diffusion coefficients calculated after this mechanism are quite satisfactory.Key words: self-diffusion coefficients, antibonding quasi-particles (AQP), electro-negativity, effective potential, semiconductor compounds.

Ball Lightning-Outcome Peculiar Condition of Matter
Presented by Corr. Member of Academy T.Chelidze, September 5, 2000
Abstract. It is proved, that there exist the elementary, discrete, universal streams of tension of electric and magnetic field, which resemble the strings or tubes. We call them simmily (stringtube in Georgian language). They exist independently of each other, but they can interact and produce elementary particles and fields.
In the Earth atmosphere there are different structures of simmilies in invisible form, which interact with molecules of air.
Electric simmilies produce a particular structure in atmosphere. We call it AUSTES (Atmospheric, Universal, Stationary, Teruslike,Electric Structure).
The AUSTES are induced by the linear lightning current and then are trapped and hold in a potential "sack" of an atmospheric electrostatic field. They can exist in such a state for an unlimitedly long time. Trapping of the simmilies results in disintegration of the electromagnetic field into components.
The AUSTES hase a special point on the symmetry axis, where strength tends to infinity, that leads to setting up an electric discharge in the air in a form of a luminescent sphere and is called a ball lightning.
Key words: a ball lightning, a string.

Vertical Diffusion near the Turbopause by Observation of the 557.7 nm Emission
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy R. Kiladze, July 18, 2000
Abstract. The investigation of the night airglow oxygen emission 557.7 nm at the Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory using multiazimuthal electrophotometer and an oscillator filter, reveal space heterogeneity and intensity variation with a period less than one night which is connected with diffusion and vertical shift of the emitting layer. On the basis of previously received data on height variations of emitting layer by simultaneous observations from two stations the spatial-temporal significance of the vertical molecular diffusion coefficient Km and the velocity of vertical shifts of the emitting layer Vn for summer of 1998 were estimated. The obtained value of the coefficient Km is within 0.3-11 x 107 cm2/sec, with an average value of 3 x 107 cm2/sec. Its value is increasing with height. The vertical shift velocity of the emitting layer varies from zero to 170 cm/sec with a mean value of about 85 cm/sec. On the basis of these data the vertical average flow of atomic oxygen at heights of 90-100 km is estimated.
Key words: 557.7 nm emission of night airglow, vertical molecular diffusion, vertical shift velocity, vertical flow of oxygen atoms.

Alterations of Electrical Activity of the Thalamo-Reticular System during Multiple Audiogenic Stimulation
Presented by Member of the Academy T.Oniani , June 6, 2000
Abstract. Alterations of electrical activity in the nervous circuits of the inferior colliculi (IC) and thalamo-cortical system in conditions of daily audiogenic stimulation (for 14-35 days) have been studied in the Krushinsky-Molodkina rats. Audiogenic stimulation elicited development of paroxysmal discharges in the IC, which significantly increased after cessation of stimulation. On the 6th-7th day of audiogenic stimulation the peak-wave activity was recorded in the neocortex and thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN), which also increased post-stimulation. It is suggested that multiple application of the audiogenic stimuli induces recruitment of the thalamo-cortical system and TRN into development of the peak-wave activity.

Effect of Various Triggers on Seizure Induction in Adolescence
Presented by Member of the Academy V. Okujava, December 15, 2000
Abstract. The role of some specific and non-specific seizure provocative factors, like photic stimulation (PS), alcohol, sleep deprivation and menstrual cycle was investigated in adolescent patients. In the group of patients with idiopathic generalized epilepsies (IGE) a very high rate of seizure provocation by different specific and non-specific precipitants was established (91%). Among the patients with partial epilepsies (PE) the frequency of provoked seizures was much lower (36%) and the seizures were precipitated mainly by non-specific provocative factors. Comparative study of coexistence of different triggers in IGE and PE cases showed significant prevalence of such combination among the patients with IGE.

The Study of Troponin I - Troponin T complex
Presented June 12, 2000
Abstract. Using the dependence of spectrum position of intrinsic fluorescence of troponin I and troponin I - troponin T complex on pH we suppose that the W-158 of troponin I remains in its position in troponin I - troponin T complex i.e. in the site which responses the environmental changes. To determine the position of another two W-206, W-259 in troponin I - troponin T complex the technique of fluorescence quenching has been used. From experiments we can conclude that the W-206 occupies inner hydrophobic position and the W-259 is disposed in the hydrophilic region of troponin I - troponin T molecule.

On some Problems of Prostaglandins and Lysosomes Interrelations
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy N.Aleksidze, June 6, 2000
Abstract. The present study shows that there is an interrelation between prostaglandins and lysosomes. In the presence of PGF2a an increase of enzymes activity and reduction of inhibitor activity index in lysosomes of rat's liver occur. Lipids peroxidation processes are activated during carcinogenesis in tumor-bearing liver and in tumor tissue rat lysosomes induced by benz(a)pyrene. Acid phosphatase increases the binding of 3HPGE2 and 3HPGF2a with receptor parts. Such interrelations are significant in the course of cells regulatory processes. In our opinion, during the development of carcinogenic processes the prostaglandins balance in cells changes which further plays an important role in progression of the pathology.

Lipid Vesicle Aggregating Properties of some Isoforms of the Myelin Basic Protein
Presented by Member of the Academy T. Oniani, June 6, 2000
Abstract. After the chromatography of the myelin basic protein (MBP) on a CM-52 cellulose cation-exchange column the resolution of the acid-soluble material into several peaks corresponding to the unbound fraction (C8) and components C7-C1 has been achieved. The lipid vesicle aggregating properties have been studied for C8, C7 and C5. Our experimental data have shown, that in the case of the plasma membrane form (18.5-kD) of the MBP, lipid vesicle aggregating properties increase by increasing positive charge: from C8 to C7 and C5. In this action the minor fraction, which accompanies the dominant fraction plays the main role. The nature of this minoral peak is still unknown.

Peripheral Blood Lymphocyte Proliferation - Inducing Activity of Glucofructan from the Roots of Symphytum asperum Lepech (Boraginaceae)
Presented by Member of the Academy L. Bakhutashvili, April 27 , 2000
Abstract. Immunostimulatory activity of glucofructan from S. asperum was evaluated by its ability to induce peripheral blood lymphocyte (PBL) proliferation in different immunopathological models. The glucofructan at the concentration of 100mg/ml was found to have PBL proliferation-inducing activity in patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, idiopathic nephrotic syndrome and healthy donors of different age. The level of proliferation induced measured by 3H-thymidine incorporation was comparable with that induced with well-known mitogens such as phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and pokeweed mitogen (PWM). The polysaccharide failed to stimulate PBL proliferation in patients with acute and chronic glomerulonephritis and insulin independent diabetes. Nevertheless, the glucofructan seems to be a strong in vitro PBL mitogen, especially in persons with T-cell dependent autoimmune status. The possible mechanisms of the glucofructan mitogenic activity are discussed.

Moderately decreased number of activated T cells (DR+T) was significantly increased in peripheral blood.We detected significantly elevated concentration of large circulating immune complexes (CIC) in patients of SLE. In SLE-GN patients the concentration of this type of CIC and especially middle size CIC was decreased.The overproduction of IgE directly indicates its involvement in SLE pathogenesis, and dramatically decreased concentration of IgE in the development of SLE-glomerulonephritis could lead to its deposition in glomeruli.
Key words: SLE,SLE - GN, CIC, IgE.

Enzyme Catalyzed in Vitro Biodegradation Study of Poly (Ester Amide) Used as a Matrix for Preparing "PhagoBioDerm" Wound Covering
Presented by Member of the Academy G. Tsintsadze, March 20, 2001
Abstract. In vitro biodegradation of poly(ester amide) (PEA) composed of L-phenylalanine, adipic acid and butanediol-1.4 was carried out using trypsin, a-chymotrypsin and lipase as hydrolytic enzymes. The enzymes solution in phosphate buffer as well as the enzymes immobilized onto surface or impregnated into the PEA matrix have been applied to study their activity to catalyze PEA’s hydrolysis. It has been found that the hydrolysis rate depends on the conditions the enzymes are in. However, in all cases the studied hydrolysis in a substantial extent has been carried out according to zero order kinetics that along with erosive mechanism of biodegradation establishedt is important for sustained release of drug into surrounding tissues with a constant rate, providing in that way "PhagoBioDerm" preparation with a high therapeutic effect.
Key words: PhagoBioDerm, enzyme, biodegradation.

Investigation of End Diastolic Pressure and Ejection Fraction Variation Dynamical Complexity in Subjects with Hypertension
Presented by Member of the Academy T.Oniani, April 11, 2000
Abstract. In this study, we have investigated complexity of dynamics of two major physiological parameters, namely: end diastolic pressure (EDP) and ejection fraction (EF), in subjects with hypertension. We have used the method of algorithmic complexity measure together with measures of long range correlation in data bases. It was found that in sense of their dynamical complexity, the mentioned parameters of healthy persons are similar to patients with mild form of hypertension. On the other hand, patients with median and severe hypertension reveal an equal value of complexity measure of both investigated parameters which in turn is significantly smaller than for both mentioned groups.
Key words: hypertension, complexity measure, long range correlations.

On the Role of Mononuclear Phagocytes Different Populations in Host Defence against Tumors
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy T. Dekanosidze, August 8, 2000
Abstract. The mobilization capacity and antitumor potency of peritoneal mononuclear cells different populations were tested. Groups of experimental animals were intraperitoneally injected with nonantigenic (3% sterile starch suspension) and antigenic (BCG vaccine) irritants. 24, 48, 72 hours and 5, 8 days after the injection, peritoneal exudate cells were isolated and counted to determine the whole number of peritoneal exudate cells and the percentile content of mononuclear cells. Mononuclear cells antitumor potency against SV-40 sarcoma cells was tasted in vitro by spectrophotometric microassay. It was shown, that both irritants are potent modulators of peritoneal mononuclear cells mobilization capacity and cytotoxicity, they facilitate generating mononuclear cells populations with opposite tumor stimulatory and tumor inhibitory activities.
Key words: peritoneal mononuclear cells, tumor , cytotoxicity.

On Thyrotoxicosis Treatment
Presented by Member of the Academy T.Chanishvili, March 20, 2001
Abstract. Structural indices of formed elements of blood at different forms of thyrotoxicosis reveal homogeneous structural changes by their character and nonuniform ones by intensity. Structural indices during thyroiditis approximate to diffuse form of toxic goiter. Number of structural indices indicate the presence of nonspecific antigene during thyrotoxicosis and thyroiditis.
Key words; thyrotoxicosis, thyroiditis.

Plankton Primary Production in Three Reservoirs of West Georgia
Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy I. Eliava, March 13, 2001
Abstract. Plankton primary production (A and
SA) and destruction (Rand SR) seasonal dynamics in the Paliastomy lake, Tkibuli and Shaori water ponds are described. As it is apparent A and R are maximal in summer and minimal in late autumn and winter. In the upper layer of the water under the solar radiation influence the process of photosynthesis reduction takes place. According to SSA’-s quantity the Paliastomy lake belongs to high eutrophic and Tkibuli and Shaori water ponds to the type transforming from mezotrophyc into low eutrophic phase.Key words:
phytoplankton, photosynthesis, primary production and destruction.Psychology
