Searching of Connection between Earthquakes by Migration Waves for Seismoactive Regions of Turkey and Greece

Presented by Member of the Academy B. Balavadse, June 19, 2001

Abstract. The observed results of the detailed analysis of the recurrence of earthquakes in time and space in the neighboring seismoactive regions of Turkey and Greece enable us to make the following conclusion: in each seismoactive region considered by us, large earthquakes affect each other. The interrelation between earthquakes are accomplished through infra-low frequency waves of migration, which are excited during large earthquakes and characterized by the capacity of initiation and as a triggering factors favor initiation of the following earthquakes. Thus the chain-type relation is accomplished between earthquakes which proceeds by the observance of chronology of the subsequence of earthquakes appearance.

The Process of Meiosis in Persimmon Variations

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy P. Naskhidashvili, May 8, 2001

Abstract. All the variations of Japanese persimmon (D. kaki L.) both fertile and sterile forms derive aneuploid sporocytes. Aneuploids are characterized by seedless fruit, high content of tannin and increase of fructification by 20-30%, rise of saccharinity by 30-50%. Aneuploids are derived from fertile as well as sterile forms. The aneuploid sterility is caused by the central and terminal inversions of the chromosomes, by formation of asynaptic sectors and loops. Moving to the poles the aneuploid chromosomes are segregated coming to elimination. Out of the whole complex of chromosomes of the persimmon only three of them show fluorescence ability with different intensity.

Key words: persimmon, aneuploidy, inversion, loop, fluorescence.

Myelin Fibers of Dental Pulp and their Partial Demyelination under Acute Pulpitis

Presented by Member of the Academy T. Chanishvili, December 25, 2001

Abstract. We have studied myelin fibers in norm and in teeth pulp with acute pulpitis and made comparative characteristics. This helps to imagine the innervation of the tooth better and to understand the mechanism of pain syndrome onset. The analysis of the obtained data from the viewpoint of functional possibilities of myelin fibers shows that conduction of impulses along them must be different for norm and clinical material. Due to the disorder of fiber wholeness the passive permeability for Na+ions increases and this leads to the change of membrane polarization.

Key words: pulpitis, myelin fiber.

Effects of direct action antihypoxant and antioxidant Energostimâ on lipid profiles in patients with ischemic heart disease

Presented December 26, 2001

Abstract. The primary endpoint of the trial is efficacy of Energostimâ treatment on the deteriorations in lipid profiles in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). Data of these studies indicate that Energostimâ added to traditional treatment of IHD even in short-term regime produced significant reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (_12%), triglycerides (-18%), the ratio of low to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (-29%) and as much important prevented the progression of LDL oxidative modification. The content of the generation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances under treatment with Energostimâ was also reduced. The positive changes in atherosclerosis induced factors under treatment with Energostimâ is explained by Energostim's powerful antioxidative properties.

The Effect of Acute Moderate Alcohol Ingestion on the Rabbit's Heart Rate Variability

Presented by Member of the Academy Nadareishvili, June 26, 2001

Abstract. The main time domain and the frequency domain parameters trends of heart rate variability (HRV) were studied in rabbits 1/2-3h and 24h after the intragastral administration of a small (moderate) dose of the so-called Pharm-alcohol (40% solution of ethanol 0.5g/kg). Despite the two initial quite diverse vago-sympathetic and emotional -motivational tension, the administration of Pharm-alcohol in two groups was shown to cause during 1-3h the statistically significant changes virtually of all main HRV parameters, which strongly indicate the enhancement of the parasympathetic tone of the vegetative nervous system, while after 24h, only a high frequency normalized index of the spectrum is increased (P<0.01). At the same time, similarly appears obvious the balancing ("normalizing") effect of Pharm-alcohol on the heart rate.

Activity of Some Proliferating Factors in Normal and Tumor Cells in Intact State and Following the Ionizing Radiation

Presented by Member of the Academy K. Nadareishvili, June, 5, 2001

Abstract. The main feature of malignant tumor is an unrestrained growth. It is known that growth factors affect an active transport of sodium, potassium, and calcium. Therefore, the volume of active transport may be used as a criterion of impact of certain growth factor. The aim of the present work was: to investigate transmembrane transfer of K+, Na+ and Ca2+ and the ATPase activity in cell cultures in both intact state and under the influence of the growth factors (TGF, EGF, IGF), in comparison with the same indices of the tumor cells; to conduct the same experiments after the action of ionizing radiation. Our experiments have shown that TGF, at a higher extent than EGF and IGF, especially by the criteria of impact on the calcium transport, elicits changes in the ZTZ cells, which resemble indices observed in the tumor cells in Sarcoma-37. This notion is corroborated by the action of ionizing radiation of 500rd as well.

Key words: ionizing radiation, ionic transport, malignization, growth factors.

Presented by Member of the Academy F. Todua, December 28, 2001

Abstract. 210 patients with hypercholesterolemia underwent 1-year treatment with hypolipidemic drugs (Atorvastatin, Orlistat). The correlation of intima-media thickness (IMT) of carotid arteries with the value of total cholesterol has been established. The hypolipidemic therapy stabilizes carotid arteries IMT. Orlistat has more effective influence upon triglycerides and contributes to the normalization of their number. Atorvastatin treatment shows, that along with complete normalization of the number of total cholesterol, lipid antiatherogenic fraction i.e. high density lipoprotein cholesterol increased, low density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased.

Key words: hypolipidemic therapy, intima-media thickness.

Beneficial Action of Refracterinâ on the Exercise Tolerance in Patients with Severe Form of Chronic Heart Failure

Presented December 26, 2001

Abstract. In 63 patients with chronic heart failure, mean NYHA III functional class, it has been shown that replacement of digoxin by Refrakterinâ (containing b-acetyldigoxin) with pronounced antiischemic and antihypoxic properties in the conventional therapy of CHF leads to significant improvement of systolic function and CHF symptoms not only at rest but during exercises too. Functional capacity in CHF patients may highly improve even over short period of treatment with Refrakterinâ. There was a strong univariate association between the distance ambulated during 6 min walk test and redox-potential (r=0.81, p<0.001) and multivariate association between the distance ambulated during 6 min walk test from the one side and redox-potential and concentration of plasma norepinephrine from the other (R 6.1, p<0.0001). Moreover, it has been shown the correlation between the change in ejection fraction of left ventricle before and after 6 min exercise and NAD/NAD×H (r=0.67, p<0.01) and NADP/NADP×H (r=0.72, p<0.01) in Refrakterinâ treated group.

Key words: chronic heart failure, Refrakterinâ, sympatho-adrenal system, exersice tolerance.

Chronic Allograft Nephropathy is Associated with Increased Expression of p21(WAF1/CIP1) CDK Inhibitor Gene Correlating with the Grade of Nephropathy and the Number of Acute Rejections

Presented February 12, 2002

Abstract. Statement of p21(WAF1/CIP1)CDK inhibitor gene was analyzed in 14 normal human kidney tissues of different age and 9 chronically rejected kidney grafts. All normal kidneys independently of patient's age were negative for p21 statement, whereas glomerular, tubular and interstitial statement of the marker was detected in 88% and vascular statement in 66.7% of chronically rejected kidneys (p<0.0001 and 0.001 respectively). No correlation was found between the intensity of p21 statement and: recipient age, donor age and number of HLA mismatches. Marker was higher expressed in grade 3 than in grade 2 of AN (p=0.059 for glomerular score). Tubular statement of p21 was correlated with the number of acute rejections: p<0.05 when 3 vs. 1,2 and p=0.0046 when 3 vs. 0 episodes of previous acute rejections. This is the first report on the absence of p21 statement in normal human kidneys of different age and its up regulation in CAN.

Key words: nephropathy, p21(WAF1/CIP1) cyclin dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor gene, cellular senescence marker, renal allograft rejection

Farmorubicin and Conduction System of Heart

Presented by Member of the Academy N. Javakhishvili, December 26, 2001

Abstract. The influence of farmorubicin on conduction system of rat,s heart was investigated by electron mycroscopy, electron hystochemistry and ECG.

The 0.8 mg of farmorubicin was injected intraperitoneally twice a week, every other day. 6 courses with three week interval were created. Colloid and ionized lanthanum were used for verification of reversibility of cell damage.

The first course of farmorubicin produced in rat conduction system acute changes of microcirculatory vessels. Mainly pacemaker cells in S-A and A-V nodes were damaged; next courses of farmorubicin revealed cumulative long-term cardiotoxic effect. Latent pacemaker and Purkinje cells undergo calcium-type injury - contractions of sarcomeres, hydratation of sarcoplasmic reticulum, electron-dense inclusions in mitochondrial intercristal areas.

Key words: farmorubicin, cardiotoxicity, conduction system of heart.

Ibsen's characters are always tridimensional characters. Tridimensional characters always grow. Ibsen had a clear cut premise which was eager to prove, his character had to be tridimensional people who could stand alone without the author's help.

Key words: Premise, tridimensional characters, Ibsen.
