Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy, R. Bantsuri, November 19, 2002

Abstract. The unilateral quasivariational inequality (the so-called Implicit Signorini Problem) for a second order elliptic coercive form is stated in more general terms, also with bilateral boundary restrictions. The similar problem is also considered with domain unilateral and bilateral restrictions with Neumann condition on boundary. The unique solvability of these problems is proved. For the unilateral problems the same is proved in the noncoercive case.

Key words: implicit Signorini problem, quasivariational inequality, unilateral and bilateral restrictions, supersolution, coercivity property.

Bukhnikashvili On an Approximate Solution of the Matric Equation with a Matrix Spectrum on Two Segments Presented by Member of the Academy I. Kiguradze, September 5, 2002 Abstract. The iterative method of finding an approximate solution for the linear matrix equation with a symmetric matrix A of nonfixed sign is suggested. The method does not provide us with the generally accepted transfer to the matrix A², but allows one to apply to the corresponding iterative scheme the single and k-multiple zeros of specially chosen polynomial which is constructed on two spectral segments of the matrix located on the negative and positive numerical semiaxes. The above-mentioned method makes it possible to attain significant acceleration of iterative convergence to the exact solution.

Datukishvili Influence of UV Irradiation on the Content of Ascorbic Acid and Tocopherol in the Leaves of Soybean and Maize Presented by Member of the Academy N. Nutsubidze, October 8, 2002 ABSTRACT. The effect of additional ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on the content of ascorbic acid, glutathione and tocopherol in leaves of inoculated and uninoculated soybean (Glycine hispida, L. var. adreula), also of white and yellow-seed maize (Zea mays, L.) has been investigated. It was determined that the content of these antioxidants changed diversely in different forms of one and the same species. Inoculation enhanced the adaptivity of plant to the increased UV irradiation that was expressed in antioxidants content increasing. Among the antioxidant systems of plant at least one is activated in changed radiational conditions to protect the plant cell from the excess energy. In preflowering phase the content of antioxidants in both studied species changed more significantly than in flowering phase, that may be explained by adaptation of the plant to the changed radiation. Key words: UV radiation, ascorbic acid, glutathione, tocopherol, inoculated soybean, maize. PLANT PHySIOLOGY L. Antadze, I. Chichiashvili Influence of Additional UV-radiation on Peroxidase Isoenzyme Spectra in Red and Green Forms of Castorbean (Ricinus communis L.) Presented by Member of the Academy N. Nutsubidze, October 22, 2002



	ABSTRACT. In the field experiment different doses of UV-radiation (high "A"-2200, "C"-186 PhAR-11600 j·m²; middle "A"-1000, "C"-60, PhAR-9500 j·m²; low "A"-204, "C"-20, PhAR-1900 j·m²) added to sunny daylight caused the changes in peroxidase isoenzyme spectra of leaves of red and green forms of castorbean (Ricinus communis L). Interspecific differences in adaptation to UV-rays treatment appeared in the phases of growth and flowering, but smoothed away in the fruit-bearing phase. In the latter the interspecific diversity in spectra was replaced by special one in variant with the least dose. The supposed reason of the results may be the intraspecific differences in UV-screening, followed by the changes in protecting function of peroxidase via its isoenzyme spectra. Key words: UV-radiation, peroxidase spectra, castorbean. PLANT PHYSIOLOGY N. Keburia, G. Alexidze Study of Lectin Content and Activity in Mistletoe (Viscum album L.)

The work aims to develop a new policy of choosing an access for the catheter radiofrequency ablation (CRA) of the CSCPAP. We examined 14 cases (9 males, 5 females) at the age from 21 to 45 years suffering from incessant form of orthodromic AV tachycardia. All the cases were subjected to invasive electrophysiological investigation followed by CRA of the CSCPAP. Positive results were obtained in all the cases. After the operation statistically proved (p < 0.01) increase in the miocardium contractivity and dimimishing of the heart chamber volumes were observed in all the cases. Having analysed the resulting data we concluded, that the difference between the V - A intervals detected in His bundle area and at the pair of electrode poles in the coronary sinus, manifested the earliest retrograde activation of the atria of over 23 milliseconds (p < 0.01), which is indicative of a more leftward location of the concealed slow conductioning posteroseptal accessory pathway. In such cases it is preferrable to use the left-side retrograde access for catheter radiofrequency ablation of accessory pathway. Thus catheter radiofrequency ablation of concealed slow conductioning posteroseptal accessory pathways is the only radical method of treatment of patients with incessant or



	incessantly relapsing forms of orthodromic AV tachycardia. Key words: catheter radiofrequency ablation, accessory pathways. Experimental Medicine I. Ubiria, A. Telia, G. Abuladze Relation Between Heart Rate Variability and Peak Expiratory Flow in Healthy Schoolchildren Presented by Member of the Academy T. Oniani, April 15, 2003 Abstract. Clarification of the influence of gender (25 boys and 14 girls, age range, 11 to 15 years) on relation between upper airway tone and sympathovagal balance in resting condition in healthy schoolchildren, heart rate variability (HRV) and peak expiratory flow rate (PEF) was studied. Frequency domain analysis of short-term (15 min.), stationary R-R intervals was performed. Fourier coefficients were separately integrated in 0.003-0.04Hz (VLF), 0.04-0.15Hz (LF) and 0.15-0.5Hz (HF) bounds. All the HRV measurements were well correlated with peakmax. PEF exhibited better correlation with LF/HF in females than in males (r² = 0.77 vs. 0.27). PEF significantly correlates with the mean RR in males (in opposite direction than in females) and with VLF in contrast to females. By partial correlation analyses it was established that bivariate correlation among PEF and all measurements of HRV, either in males or females, was independent of the basal R-R interval. In females but not in males the relationships among peakmax, Lf, HF and LF/HF were independent of age, height and weight. Key words: peak expiratory flow rate, heart rate variability, spectral analysis, emotions, gender. EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE N. Mamamtavrishvili, T. Sanikidze, R.

	Experimental Medicine B. Mosidze, I. Kachakhidze The New Method of Forming Gastroenteroanastomosis Using Suturing Device and Compression Apparatus Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy G.Ioseliani , November 4, 2002. Abstract. New method of performing gastrointestinal anastomosis (GEA) with application of suturing device and compression apparatus after gastric resection is proposed. Using the apparatus for performing GEA gave problems because of unsuccessful position of the anastomosis which caused some complications. This new way of the anastomosis gives optimal "physiological" position abolishing "blind bag", which is formed while using the traditional suturing devices. Application of this method simplifies performing of the GEA, allows us to shorten the duration of procedure and reduce the number of post-operation complication. By the above method the operation was performed in 72 cases. Long term results of the operations are evaluated to be good. Our new method may be recommended as an optional method for gastric surgery. Key words: gastric resection, gastroenteroanastomosis. EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE Kh. Jalabadze, P. Machavariani, D. Kordzaya, T. Areshidze, E. Datunashvili, M. Tsverava Investigation of Risk-Factors Contributing to the Development of Atherosclerosis among Refugees in Georgia Presented by Member of the Academy N. Javakhishvili, July 17, 2002 Abstract. The study was aimed at identification of factors contributing to the development of atherosclerosis among refugees in Georgia. The young males were selected and studied (27 parameters) after screening of refugees at the age of 25-45. Based on clinical and morphological manifestation of atherosclerosis or absence of them the group under study was divided into two groups - A and B, respectively. The results of analysis revealed that age, smoking, consuming of excessive hydrocarbons and continuing stress are the factors associated to the development of atherosclerosis in the studied population. Key words: atherosclerosis, CH-LDL, CH HDL, hypertension, smoking. EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE N. Chikadze, N. Janikashvili, P J. Dalvas, N. Porakishvili Immunogenicity and Cross-Reactivity of a Novel Mutant Recombinant hCGb-Protein



	Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy G. Tumanishvili, October 15, 2002 Abstract. A vaccine based on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) would be safe and effective means for preventing undesirable pregnancy. Due to close structural homology of hCG with lutropin (hLH), hCG is able to bind hLH-receptor as a result of which the corpus luteum continues the synthesis of progesterone and pregnancy is retained. But exactly this structural identity represents the main problem while creating a vaccine based on wild-type hCGb. Antibodies induced in response to native hCG cross-react with hLH which may cause undesirable side-effects. To prevent synthesis of such cross-reactive antibodies a number of mutants of the hCGb-chain have been created. One such mutant hCGb(R68E) containing an Arginine to Glutamic acid replacement at position 68 has been expressed as a recombinant protein in High Five™ insect cells using baculovirus (BAC) expression system (BAChCG b(R68E)). We have determined anti-BAChCGb(R68E), anti-BAChCGb (the wild-type hCG expressed in baculovirus), anti-hCGab, and anti-hCGbCTP (carboxil-terminal portion of the hCGb subunit) antibodies titer in rabbits immunized with recominant BAChCGb(R68E), BAChCGb or native hCGab. The obtained results reveal that the majority of antibodies in the sera of rabbits immunized with BAChCGb(R68E) are directed towards the hCGbCTP and this may explain the fact, that these sera almost lack antibodies capable of binding to hLH. Together with this, the mutant elicited the production of antibodies which avidly recognize native hCGab. The results from this study indicate, that BAChCGb(R68E) mutant molecule might be safe and at the same time effective for a contraceptive vaccine. Key words: hCG, immunocontraception; cross-reacting. ECOLOGY A. Mtskhvetadze, E. Metreveli Alterations of Transmembrane Ionic Transport in the Cell under the Influence of a Range of Electromagnetic Fields and Low Doses of Ionizing Radiation Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy K.Nadareishvili, November 26, 2002 ABSTRACT. Of numerous pressing problems of our planet pollution the electromagnetic fields (EMF) and ionizing radiation are of special interest. However, it became obvious recently that their influence on the living organism is not uniform. The goal of the present work was elucidation of an impact of some of these factors. The live cells served as the test-objects and the respective effects were evaluated by the most sensitive cellular indices the values of transmembrane transport of Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺ ions and the enzymes ATPases regulating this process. The embryonic tissue served as the test-object; the alternating EMF of 20, 45, 60, 80, and 100 Hz and ionizing radiation of 5 and 10 Rad served as the impact-factors. The results of experiments show that EMF in the range of 45-60 Hz only induces some changes and the radiation of 5 and 10 Rad induced mild stimulatory effect on ionic transport. Key words: electromagnetic fields, ionizing radiation, ionic transport, embryonic cells.



	ECOLOGY G. Magradze, M. Kakabadze Effect of Power-Frequency Electromagnetic Fields on "Open Field" Activity of Naturally Aggressive and Non-Aggressive Rats Presented by Member of the Academy K. Nadareishvili, November 26, 2002 ABSTRACT. The effect of exposure to 50 Hz frequency electromagnetic field (EMF) at 1.5 mT intensity on "Open Field" activity of naturally aggressive and non-aggressive rats was studied. The results of experiments show that naturally aggressive and non-aggressive rats are characterized by different orientation and emotional activity in "Open Field" and exposure to EMF causes different changes in their behavior. Namely, after exposure to EMF non-aggressive rats become less emotional in "Open Field" and thus show the behavior of aggressive animals. Keywords: rat, electromagnetic field (EMF), "Open Field" activity, aggressiveness. ECONOMICS N. Galakhvaridze Market Economy and Ergonomic and Ecological Factors in Agriculture Presented by Corr.

	ECONOMICS R. Otinashvili Double Potential of the Development of Market Economy Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy L. Chikava, December 12, 2002 ABSTRACT. The strategy of person/state interrelations based on the principles of responsibility is discussed. There is a huge potential of development in the market economic system. But this development might happen either in democratic way or vice versa. Market relations are very contadictory if the population is not ready for the market realities. An important thing is the role of socio-economic environment in it. The civilized market economy needs the suitable level of the civil consciousness, which implies deep changes in the system of public values. Key words: corruption, market. Economics L. Grigalashvili Problems of Today's Accounting Standardization Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy A. Silagadze, February 25, 2003 Abstract. The author of this work points out that a number of respectful international organizations are intensively working on accounting standardization issues, whereof he distinguishes International Accounting Standards (IAS) elaborated by International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) and the ways of its adoption in different countries. The American model of accounting _ GAAP also significantly impacts the capital markets and thrusts its competition against IAS. In willing to achieve comparability of accounting system, the countries of the world have to decide whether to adopt IAS, or GAAP, or develop own national standards. Georgia also should pursue similar approach, reserving, however, that the perspective challenges in this field might bring to agenda the issue of global recognition of the American GAAP as international standards of accounting. Key words: data base, international standards, accounting standardization, market globalization, national standards. ECONOMICS M. Murdjikneli To the Perfection of Incomes Legalization in Health Institutions Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy L. Chikava, May 10, 2003 ABSTRACT. Political and social changes taking place in Georgia and sharp crisis



	of economy brought the necessity of fundamental reorientation of the system of medical services. Health care system basically turned to the principles of market economy. Due to the low specific share of the state in health care expenditures financing, like the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and especially CIS countries, non-official payments take place great part of which is not registered in official reports.

Philology N. Popiashvili Peculiarities of Portraying the Characters in "The Wisdom of Lie" Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy E.Khintibidze, November 12, 2002 Abstract. A well-known Georgian writer, lexicographer and scholar Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani lived in the 17th century. Besides the collected fables "The Wisdom of Lie" and a memoirs work "A Journey Through Europe", he is the author of the Georgian Dictionary. Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani applies a peculiar method of portraying the characters. He describes a personage at his very first appearance and does not return to this subject any more. A personage gives an idea about himself mainly through his opinion and world outlook. It is the life contradiction extending to the end of the narration that reveals the spiritual, inner world of the personages, brought to the reader by means of the fables. Key words: Sulkhan-Saba, "The Wisdom of Lie", personage, portrait. Philology T. Gogoladze The Nature of Georgian Romantic Love Lyrics Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy Z.Alexidze, February 4, 2003 Absract. Georgian love lyrics of the 19th century proceeding from the nature of the lyrics revealed poet's creative individuality best of all. The impossibility to realize national aspirations by Georgian poet-romanticists (A.Chavchavadze, Gr.Orbeliani, N.Baratashvili) in reality conditioned the transformation of their feelings into irreal, illusory romanticised `world of love' in which both the traditions of the Georgian love verse and individual interpretation of the theory of European romanticism are marked. Key words: romanticism of the world, illusion, universal. Philology I. Dobordjginidze, M. Iamanidze V. Nozadze's Work "Deeds and Happenings of the Past"
