The Charge State of Metastable Frenkel Couples in
Electron-Irradiated n- and p-type Silicon Crystals

Presented December 21, 1998

Abstract. The volumetric photo e.m.f measured along the silicon samples subjected to local irradiation in the conditions of different external electric fields revealed that the Frenkel couples in irradiated n-type silicon are composed of opposed sign carriers in the metastable state, whereas in the p-type material the carriers are of the same sign. On the basis of the results of the experiments a hypothesis has been presented that the concentration of the metastable couples depends on the irradiation energy and the charge state of the primary radiation defects.

Heart Rate Variability in Male Waking Chinchilla Rabbits

Presented July 8, 1998

ABSTRACT. Main statistical parameters of heart rate variability (HRV), including data on the variations of spectrum within the range of 0.01-5 Hz, covariation and so on were established for male chinchilla rabbits during passive wakefulness. By comparison of time-domain and its derivative indices, as well as main parameters of frequency-domain analysis two groups of rabbits with various initial level of cardiac activity regulation were distinguished: group I with predominance of cholinergic system activity and group II with predominance of adrenergic one. Consequently, experiments on rabbits require separate generalization of results obtained in these groups of animals. For this HRV studies appear to be rather reliable criterion.

Organic-Chromophore Complexes

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy B. Kurashvili, August 10, 1998

ABSTRACT. In the bioassays the new photostabilized formulations (organic-chromophore complexes) of the Bacillus thuringiensis were tested. The results of the experiments carried out in natural conditions show the high photoprotective quality of the B.t-Berberine and the B.t.-Chinese complexes.

Key words: Bacillus thuringiensis, organic-chromophore complexes, photostability, B.t.-Acriflavin complex (Af.), B.t.-Berberine complex (Berb.)/, B.t. –Chinese bark (Chinese) complex; European cabbageworm (Pieris brassicae L.); entomocidal activity.

Effect of Plaferon LB on Morpho-Functional Activity of Hepatocytes under Conditions of Hormonal Disbalance in White Rats

Presented November 3, 1998

Abstract. The effect of Plaferon LB on morpho-functional activity of hepatocytes was studied in rats on the experimental model of hormonal disbalance (bilateral adrenalectomy). The composition is shown to stimulate the RNA-synthesis activity of liver cells and serves as the inhibitor for the destruction process in liver tissue.

Key words: Plaferon LB, adrenalectomy, hepatocyte, transcription.

Membranotropic Effects of the Cooperative Action of some Xenobiotics

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy N. Aleksidze, July 5, 1999

Abstract. Cooperative impact of xenobiotics, the prior components of sewage waters of some plants, on bioelectric reaction of plasmalemma of kharo-algae Nitella has been studied. It was shown that depending on component content antagonism (saturne and propanide) or synergism (phenol and formaldehyde, metaphose and hexachlorane) can be observed during the cooperative actions in contrast with one - component ones, although the directions of the shift in ion permeability of membrane in both cases, as a rule, coincide.

Key words: xenobiotics, membranotropic effect, Nitella.

Influence of Plaferon LB on the Metabolism of Nitric Oxide (NO) in Case of Thyrotoxicosis

Presented November 3, 1998

Abstract. Nitric oxide metabolism during thyrotoxicosis and influence of Plaferon LB on it in experimental thyrotoxicosis was studied. In the case of diffuse toxic goiter, as well as in experimental thyrotoxicosis the increased formation of nitric oxide takes place that indicates the formation of large amount of free radicals. Increased formation of FeS-NO and HB-NO indicates the formation of large amount of nitric oxide in the organism during thyrotoxicosis. Plaferon LB prevents redundant formation of nitric oxide during experimental thyrotoxicosis and facilitates its quick decrease during the period of restoration.

Key words: nitric oxide, Plaferon LB, thyrotoxicosis.

Immunocompetent Cells in Experimental Tumours of Colon

Presented by Member of the Academy N. Javakhishvili, October 12, 1998

Abstract. In induced tumours simultaneously with the deepening of dysplastic changes in tumoural parenchyma the degree of infiltration of stroma with immunocompetent cells increases. The composition of infiltrate also changes. In adenomas with mild dysplasia plasmocytes prevail among the free cells of stroma, with the growth of dysplasia degree their amount decreases gradually. Percentage of lymphocytes, on the contrary, increases in accordance with the growth of dysplasia degree. In adenomas with grave degree dysplasia the amount of lymphocytes prevails over the amount of plasmocytes.

In invasive forms of cancer cellular infiltration of stroma decreases and even almost disappears, what points to depression of local immune reactions.

Key words: colon, adenoma, cancer, immunocompetent cells.

Semiological Typology of Anthroponyms in Modern English

Presented by Member of the Academy G.Tsitsishvili, June 2, 1998

Abstract: Componential analysis of the dictionary definitions of anthroponyms reveals that two layers of object-logical content of the word are realised in their meaning-denotational and significative. The presence and prevalence of these components in semantic structure of anthroponyms determine their sign status. As a result of generalization of their semantics we single out the following main semiological classes: 1. anthroponyms proper, 2. real, 3. relative, 4. nominal, 5. collective, 6. deictic, 7. quantifier anthroponyms.

Key words: anthroponym, sign status, componential analysis, semantic structure

On the Problem of Linguistic Units

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy A. Gvakharia, September 14, 1998

ABSTRACT. Searching for some formal definition of a linguistic unit we suggest that the units are to be identified by the combinative features of their constituents regarding the very possibility of asserting any regular restriction in the mutual compatibility as the indicator of the complexes being the units.

Key words: unit, compatibility, combination.
