The Improvement of the Technology of Obtaining of Electrolytic Manganese Dioxide in the Suspension Bath Presented by Member of the Academy J. Japaridze, July 13, 2004
Abstract. It has been shown that the suspension bath process (SBP) provides an increase of anode current density without passivation of titanium electrode that is twice more than during the obtaining of ordinary electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD). The efficiency of this process depends on the use of small-dispersed suspensions of MnO2. The smaller the size of suspended particles, the greater degree of the adhesion of active particle absorbed on the electrode. On these particles an increase of the SBP-EMD precipitate takes place. Simultaneously the effective anode surface increases and the effective current density decreases, respectively. In these conditions the properties of obtained SBP-EMD are related with those obtained at low current density. It has been established that the most stable suspensions are obtained during the suspensation of MnO2 particles of 5-10 m size. The SBP-EMD precipitate obtained by means of mentioned suspensions is characterized by high current efficiency and high g - MnO2 content. © 2005 Bull. Georg. Acad.

Atypical Embryo Sacs in Allium cepa L. Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy G. Nakhutsrishvili, December 7, 2004
Abstract. The following atypical structures have been observed in the embryo sac of Allium cepa L.: 1. Variation in the number of egg cells (1-3), synergids (1-6), polar nuclei (2-4) and antipodals (3-5); 2. Transformation of synergids and antipodals into additional egg cell; 3. Hypertrophy of more than one synergid and antipodals. Increase in the number of hypertrophic synergids and antipodals may improve nutrition of the developing embryo. The additional egg cells increase probability of seed development. An increase in the number of synergids and antipodals may be caused by mutations leading to the cytokinesis during mitotic divisions instead of endomitosis occurring during hypertrophy. © 2005 Bull.

Segregation of Pollen Grains in Remote Hybrids of Citruses on Amylo- and Leucoplast-Containing Gametes Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy P. Naskidashvili, December 28, 2004
ABSTRACT. The genus citrus (Citrus L.) is subdivided into two subgenera: archicitrus (Archicitrus) and metacitrus (Metacitrus). Architruses accumulate bitter essential oil in both fruit flesh and peel, which makes the fruits inedible. Metacitruses accumulate the bitter essential oil only in the peel and due to this the fruits are edible. The bitter essential oil is accumulated in elaioplasts (kind of plastids). The gene of bitter essential oil (AO) and the gene of amyloplast (AP) are conjugated and are inherited dominantly. The presence of amyloplasts in pollen grains and in cotyledons indicates that the fruit of the hybrid is unfit for being used as food. © 2005 Bull. Georg. Acad.

PCR Amplification of DNA from Agricultural Plants and Genetically Modified Soybean Presented November, 30, 2004
ABSTRACT. Genomic DNA was extracted from wheat, maize, soybean, barley, oat, French bean, and genetically modified (GM) soybean seeds by two different methods. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product of 415 bp size was amplified for each analyzed plant species, including GMO after PCR using 18S ribosomal RNA gene conserved primer sequences and extracted genomic DNA as a template. The obtained results indicate, that the both methods are suitable for preparation of amplifiable genomic DNA from the studied plant species and the developed PCR system is suitable for testing amplifiability of plant genomic DNA. Therefore, it is suggested that the obtained genomic DNA samples might be used successfully as templates in PCRbased analysis for species or cultivars identification and certification as well as GMO detection. © 2005 Bull.

In 12 cases choledocholithiasis was combined with papillostenosis. The balloon catheter was used for extraction of small stones (up to 8 mm) or for the control of papillotomy adequacy. Simultaneously there were used balloon and basket. In some cases more than two stones were extracted at once. The indications for application of the instrument have been worked out. © 2005 Bull.

Effect of Metabolic Syndrome upon Electrophysiological Parameters of the Heart Conductance System in Cases of Paroxysmal and Permanent Atrial Fibrillation and Atypical Atrial Flutter Presented March 8, 2005
Abstract. The goal of this work was to study the effect of MS on the electrophysiological parameters of the heart conductance system; in particular, on the frequency of occurrence of such heart rhythm disturbances as paroxysmal and permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) and atypical atrial flutter (AFl).The research involved 52 cases (31 females, 21 males, and average age 54.3 ± 15.5) of paroxysmal and permanent AF and atypical AFl. They were classified into 2 groups. Group I included 24 (46.2 %) patients (14 women and 10 men, average age 51.2 ±9.1) suffering from paroxysmal and permanent AF and atypical AFl and signs of MS. The I group patients were subdivided into two subgroups one of 15 (62.5 %) cases without diabetes mellitus, the other of 9 (37.5 %) cases with II type diabetes mellitus. Group ii consisted of 28 (53.8 %) patients (17 women and 11 men, average age 56.8 ±10.7) suffering from arrihythmia, though without any MS sign. The research results have proved the direct effect of metabolic disturbanses upon electrophysiology of the heart conductance system: the MS-indused refractery dispersion between the RA and LA in an immediate factor causing AF and atypical AFl. The Results have evidenced that catheter RFA of the AV node is a highly effective method for radical treatment of patients suffering from the MS and paroxysmal and permanent AF, as well as atypical AFl. © 2005 Bull.

To the Interaction of Nervous, Endocrine and Immune Systems in the Organism Presented by Member of the Academy T.Chanishvili, December 28, 2004
ABSTRACT. Investigating functional abilities of nervous, endocrine and immune systems in the human organism, we can see certain correlation (interdependence) between them. It is conditioned by protective functions of the whole organism and finds the reflection in the evolutionary period of its development. Interaction of the named systems in the human organism is defined as single regulatory mechanism, directed to support homeostasis and its abilities. © 2005 Bull. Georg. Acad.

Morpho-Functional Peculiarities of Blood Vessels of Induced Colon Cancer Presented by Member of the Academy N. Javakhishvili, Octomber 5, 2004
Abstract. The peculiarities of the microcirculation bed have been studied in large intestine cancer (histologically they represent adenomacarcinomas) induced by 1.2-dimethylhydrazine-dihydrochloride. It is shown that cancer microcirculation bed is represented by newly formed vessels of different structures.According to their ultrastructure, they can be assembled into three groups: 1) newly formed blood vessels more or less analogous to the vessels of the normal tissue; 2) immature capillaries; 3) blood vessels of the sinusoidal type. An electron-radioautographic study displayed that some of the newly formed blood vessels reach the average level of differentiation. But they are unable to perfectly accomplish the regulation of transendothelial exchange between vessels and tissue. Morpho-functional heterogeneity of newly formed blood vessels, in our opinion, reflects the peculiarity of parenchymal-stromal interrelationships in each concrete tumor microregion. © 2005 Bull.

Morphology of Placenta during Cytomegalovirus Infection Presented by Member of the Academy N. Javakhishvili, October 19, 2004
ABSTRACT. In all samples of human placentas affected by cytomegalovirus infection obtained from full-term pregnancies the picture of focal productive inflammation is evident in both maternal and fetal components of the placenta, being expressed in syncitial trophoblast, amnyocytes, and vascular endothelium. The process is characterized by the presence of huge mononuclear cells in basal membrane, hyperchromic nucleus, surrounded with light circle, the so-called "owl's eye" and basophilic inclusions. © 2005 Bull.

The Action of Mobile Phones Frequency (900/1800MHz) Electromagnetic Fields on Rat's Behavior in the "Open Field" Presented November 30, 2004
Abstract. The exposure of cell phones frequency electromagnetic fields provokes significant decrement of emotional-motivational and locomotor activities in rats and increases the overcoming fear while leaving the central square. Decrease of emotionality is revealed in reduction of boluses and urination, as well as in increase of quantity and total duration of grooming. These changes are accordingly reflected on their behavior in the "open field". © 2005 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.Key words: cell phones, behavior, grooming, boluses.

The Role of Interjections in Communication (On the material of the English, Georgian and Russian languages) Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy M. Shanidze, February 8, 2005
Abstract. In the paper the role of interjection in communication is examined from the standpoint of ostensive-inferential model of communication introduced by D. Sperber and D. Wilson. The paper shows that in the process of communication interjections perform ostensive acts they direct the hearer's attention and thought toward relevant information. The interjection serves as a stimulus which provides the hearer with evidence from which the sender's communicative intention can be inferred. Hence, in discourse the main function of interjection | ||
is metalinguistic. © 2005 Bull. Georg. Acad. Sci.Key words: interjection, index, ostension, the principle of relevance, frame, metalinguistic.
