Laser Photoluminescence of GaxAl1-xP Epitaxial Films

Presented by Member of the Academy T. Sanadze, June 29, 2004

Abstract. We have studied photoluminescence in epitaxial films of various types of GaxAl1-xP by laser excitation. All the three types: undoped, tellurium-doped of n-type and zinc-doped of p-type films show green luminescence of various intensies. Green luminescence peak energy alters linearly according to composition. We have revealed that green luminescence intensity decreases by adding tellurium or zinc ligature and at the same time red luminescence is originated and peaks corresponding to it almost do not alter according to composition. The mechanism causing green luminescence is recombination of donor-acceptor pairs. As the mechanism causing red luminescence we consider various types of defects formed during technological processes. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy T. Chelidze, May 11, 2004

ABSTRACT. The cause of the formation of a magnetic barrier in the magnetosheath is the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) intensity growth due to the specific behavior of the MHD of the solar wind plasma flow near the critical point of the magnetosphere. It is shown that using a model of the stagnation zone in front of the

magnetosphere makes it possible to determine specific linear scales of the magnetic barrier as well as of the stagnation line on the magnetopause used to remove the divergence occurring near the critical point in case of MHD of the flow around blunt bodies. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy G. Nakhutsrishvili, May 25, 2004

ABSTRACT. The paper presents the assumption on possible ways of an origin of representative of the genus Prunus elaborated on the basis of complex intraspecific study within the genus. The polyploid forms (2n=48) of alycha (tkemali) and blackthorn revealed in the genus Prunus as a result of our investigations allow to suppose that some varieties of the cultivated plum have been evolved from these plyploid forms in the way of alloautopolyploidy. The existence of natural hybrid of alycha´blackthorn, with 2n=48 corroborated once again Rybin's idea on the formation of cultivated plum in this way. At the same time the discovery of 2n=48 chromosome natural hybrids of the genus Prunus in the Caucasus, particulaly in Georgia, allows us to acknowledge the Caucasus to be its native land. © 2004 Bull.

Relation between Interleukins and some Characteristics of Carotid Artery Atherosclerotic Lesion

Presented by Member of the Academy F. Todua, October 11, 2004

ABSTRACT. Hemodynamically significant stenosis of carotid arteries (CA) was diagnosed in 97 patients studied; no neurologic symptoms existed and discirculatory encephalopathy was observed Having evaluated proinflammatory interleukins (IL-1band IL-6), it appeared that, though in asymptomatic CA stenosis IL-1b and IL-6 concentrations against the appropriate control value increased, it remained within the normal limits. In discircuatory encephalopathy the interleukin activation was increased. Proceeding from the study of the correlation between CA stenosis, intima media thickness and proinflammatory interleukins, the correlation appeared to be significant and positive.

Ultrastructural Peculiarities of Formed Elements of Blood during Chronic Streptococcus Tonsillitis of Different Severity

Presented May 25, 2004

Abstract. The analysis of the examination data has shown the differences in red and white formed elements of blood from the side of thrombocytes during chronic streptococcus tonsillitis of various severities compared with control. In decompencated forms this difference is expressed more clearly. At the same time more sharp changes are marked from the side of neutrophils and thrombocytes. This concerns not only their ultrastructural features but their structural character too (neutrophils diameter, their alteration, adhesion between thrombocytes and neutrophills, etc.). The character of the changes is associated with the existence of agent in the organism, particularly in palatine tonsils. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

Structure of Adrenal Cortex Zona Fasciculata in Rats of Different Age under the Influence of Hypobaric Hypoxia

Presented by Member of the Academy N. Javakhishvili, May 3, 2004

Abstract. The glandular cells and ultrastructure of capillaries in adrenal cortex were investigated in adults (8-12 months) and first period of the old age (24-32 months) male rats (n=120) _ under acute and chronic hypobaric hypoxia administration in barocamera. The exposure time was 4 hours. The data of experiments revealed the changes conditioned by age. Adrenocorticocytes of the young animals respond with the hypertrophy of steroid synthesis controller structures and their previous granules, with increased exocytosis and vacuoles extrusion, intensive fenestration of capillar endothelium and transportive function. In old animals, changes in the adrenal gland have destructive-dystrophic character, with slightly expressed compensation reactions, caused by the low adaptation and regulation processes characterized to the old age period. © 2004 Bull.

Morphological Peculiarities of Bone Tissue of Middle Ear in Patients with Chronic Suppurative Mesotympanitis

Presented by Member of the Academy N. Javakhishvili, October 10, 2004

Abstract. Bone tissue of the "bridge" above aditus and the walls of antrum have been examined through morphological methods in 100 patients operated on due to chronic suppurative mesotympanitis (CSM). Histological, histochemical and electro-microscopic methods have been used. Quite polymorphic alterations have been found. Characteristic alterations in 42 patients were destruction of the bone tissue surrounded by osteoclasts and inflammatory infiltration, a picture characteristic for ostitis. Abundant accumulation of acidic glucoseaminoglucans in necrotically-altered hearths of bone tissue and along the edges of caries-altered bone has been observed. In addition to destructive alterations of bone tissue, a picture characteristic for osteogenesis with the formation of osteoid tissue with mosaic build-up was found in 30 patients. The decrease in the number of osteocytes in the area of development of inflammation process was observed in 8 cases (from 72) bone fragments surrounded by immature connecting tissue infiltrated by leukocytes were seen from the side of endost. We did not find any pathological alterations of bone tissue in the examined structures in 28 cases. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

Comprasion of Efficiency of Two Starting Doses of Recombinant Follicle Stimulating Hormone for Ovarian Stimulation in Patients for in-vitro Fertilization

Presented by Member of the Academy V. Bakhutashvili, September 7, 2004

ABSTRACT. The aim of our study was to compare two starting doses of the recombinant FSH (r-FSH, Gonal-F) in stimulation protocols according to the parameters of folliculo-oogenesis and oogenesis in IVF-ET program. In randomized, prospective study 43 women with 59 stimulation cycles were enrolled. They were allot in the regimens: in I regimen 24 women in 32 cycles in the first 5 days of stimulation received r-FSH in doses of 150 IU, in II regimen - 19 women in 27 cycles - 227 IU/day. GnRH long protocol (Diphereline 3.75 mg) was used after down-regulation of hypophysis. The results showed that relatively low doses of r-FSH for ovarian stimulation were optimal for folliculo-oogenesis. In addition, they were associated with increased frequency of fertilization, implantation and progressive pregnancies, decreased risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. The price of IVF-ET was decreased too. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

Georgian Realist Love Lyrics

(the 2nd half of the 19th Century)

Presented by Member of the Academy, E. Khintibidze, May 22, 2004

Abstract. From the second half of the 19th century, along with the establishment of critical realism, a new stage starts in the development of Georgian love lyrics. This process has been specifically marked in the poetry of the so-called `Tergdaleulebi' (the Georgian social thinkers of the 1860s, who after having studied in Russia introduced some progressive democratic ideas into Georgia upon return). The imperative that the country's interests should be put in the forefront has ascribed a secondary role to the expression of the human intimate feelings in lyrics, attaching importance to love poems of only high artistic craftsmanship. From the 1880s Georgian love lyrics starts developing with a qualitatively different characteristics linked with the name of Vazha-Pshavela. © 2004 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.

Prematurity Problems Connected with Retardation of Physical and Mental Development

Presented by Member of the Academy Sh. Nadirashvili, June 22, 2004

Abstract. We have examined premature infants using the methods of clinical, paraclinical, instrumental and laboratory analysis. A parallel is drawn between physical and psychological development of premature children. The individuality of a person is manifested not only in the character of psychological response, but it is also linked with the nature and peculiarity of the mechanism of steady psycho-somatic state. With the help of higher integrative mechanisms it provides the possibility of bearing the fetus till its full maturity and it ensures stable basis between maternal medium and future child. © 2004 Bull.
