Perturbation Theory in the Cobar-Bar Resolution

Presented by Corr. Member of the Academy N. Berikashvili, December 28, 1998

Abstract. In this article one specific property of cobar-bar resolution of graded algebra H is shown: any perturbation of differential in this resolution can be "shorten", i.e. it is equivalent to one, which maps the generator module into itself. Any such short perturbation can be interpreted as -algebra structure on H. This allows to obtain some known results about the classification of differential-graded algebras.

Key words: perturbation, bar construction, -algebra.

Effect of Partial Defoliation and Benzylaminopurine on Content

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

Abstract. The influence of partial defoliation and BAP on content of free amino acids in leaves, stems and berries of grapevine has been studied. The enhancement of source activity under defoliation and of sink demand under the BAP influence were accompanied with a quantitative increase of free amino acids in organs of grapevine shoot. The combined action of defoliation and BAP is more effective and it is probably associated with the increase of free amino acids biosynthesis in leaves.

Total Paradoxical Sleep Deprivation through Partial Deprivation of Slow-Wave Sleep

Presented May 24, 1999

Abstract. Analysis of the results of total paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD) through partial deprivation of deep slow-wave sleep (DSWS) clearly indicates that the formation of PS need in the sleep-wakefulness (S-W) cycle occurs exclusively during SWS and especially during DSWS. The phase of wakefulness cannot be involved in PS need accumulation. On the contrary, it someway prevents PS need accumulation even in that case when its fragments arise during SWS. These data are in conformity with our earlier evidence that the replacement of PS in the cycle by the fragments of active wakefulness equivalent in length to mean PS duration, leads to a complete and selective PS deprivation without accumulation of the need for it. In a normal S-W cycle wakefulness and PS appear to be competitive and in this competition it is wakefulness that has an advantage. This is perhaps reasonable and necessary for a precise determination of the place of PS in the S-W cycle. Otherwise there would be disturbance of the normal integrative activity of the brain and disruption of the S-W cycle that not infrequently manifest itself in a number of psychoneurologic diseases.

Key words: paradoxical sleep, slow-wave sleep, sleep-wakefulness cycle, deprivation, accumulation,need.

Changes of the Rat Brain and Liver Cell Nuclear Matrices Poly (ADP-ribose) Polymerase and DNA Topoisomerase II
Activities by X-irradiation

Presented October 12, 1998

Abstract. It is shown, that X-irradiation of isolated rat brain and liver matrices at the doses of 1.7 Gy and 6.7 Gy increases their endogenous poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity in a dose-dependent manner. This indicates that the breaks induced in DNA tightly bound with matrices is a reason for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase activity increasing. It is revealed also, that DNA topoisomerase II activity of the isolated matrices of both brain and liver cells is inhibited after X-irradiation of rats as compared to control matrices isolated from nonirradiated rats. This testifies to the involvement of DNA topoisomerase II activity in DNA repair and gives possibility to suppose that the induction of ADP-ribosylation directly of DNA topoisomerase II in vivo after X-irradiation of rats decreases topoisomerase activity of isolated matrices.

Key words: brain, liver, nuclei, nuclear matrix, X-irradiation, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase, DNA topoisomerase.

Presented by Member of the Academy K.Nadareishvili, July 6,1998

Abstract.. HLA promoter alleles of DQA1 and DQB1 genes were analyzed in a group of 65 Czech healthy individuals and 54 members of 13 RA multicase families by PCR and oligonucleotide hybridization. QAP4.1 and QBP3.1 were the most frequent alleles (gf=0.315, gf=0.254) due to the linkage disequilibrium with DQA1*0501 and DQB1*0301. The second most frequent allele QAP1.2 (gf=0.162) was found to be common for DR2 alleles.The analysis of RA multicase families showed promoter alleles and haplotypes similar to those reported in the healthy population. QBP3.21 was in a complete positive association with DQB1*0302-DRB1*04, except DQB1*0302-DRB1*0408, where was detected QBP3.1, associated also with DQB1*0301-DRB1*0401.
