The new technology for investigation of morphological and functional states of the foot was usied. The computer-aided system for investigation of longitudinal and transverse foot arch was elaborated. The complex consists of a special scanner and a program for receiving a foot image as wellas analysis and distribution of diagnostic data. 136 school children with scoliosis were observed using this technology.

Strains of B. mallei, defective in production of extracellular enzymes were isolated using transposone mutagenesis method. Mutants were been characterized by activity of extracellular enzimes, virulence and some other properties. The method of electrophoresis in SDS - PAAG and immunoblotting were imployed for analysing of protein profiles. It was revealed that composition and quantity of protein accounted for changes of proteolytic activity.

Antiviral activity of new syntetized compounds was studied in vitro using CEM-SS gulture. 1-[[2-4(4-chlorphenoxy)ethoxy]methyl] and 1-[[2-(4-methylphenoxy)ethoxy]-methyl derivatives of 5-brome-6-methyluracyle demonstrate maximum inhibitory on HIV-1 virus comparing with the other ones.

Psychoemotional status of schoolchildren of different ages living in an iodine deficient region was been evaluated. Complex program aimed at iodine deficiency included the administration of iodinerich drugs, eating modification, sanitary education and popularization of information materials among schoolchildren concerning the problem of iodine deficiency. All these measures enabled us to improve the psychoemotional status of schoolchildren aged 7-8, 10-11, to normalize thyroid gland size and iodine metabolism.

The present research is devoted to the analysis of the data of monitoring of physical development of students living in 35 territories of the Volgograd area. The qualitative estimations of physical development of the students are developed on the basis of parameters of morphological and functional development of young men and girls aged of 17-21.

Effectiveness of transcranial electrostimulation combined with pharmacotherapy in the treatment of gestosis was studied. Positive effect was gained in 80.8% of patients with mild and medium severity of destosis, whereas conventional pharmacotherapy was effective only in 61.3%. Evaluation of the treatment using Daily Monitoring of Blood Pressure substantially increases informative value of clinical investigation.

1. Increased TFR-β 1 production in blood plasma of patients with obvtructive uropathy is an indicator of fibrogenetic activity. 2. FNO-α production is elevated upon exacerbation of chronic pyelonephritis. 3. Increased FNO-α excretion and decreased IL-10 excretion with urine is an indicator of nephrosclerosis in reflux nephropathy. 4. Irogressing nephrosclerosis with transformation to HPN is accompanied by decreased TFR-β 1 concentration in blood plasma. 5. Variations of the inflammatory index in the dynamics of disease underlie the processes of renal parenchyma lesions in children with obstructive uropathy.

In the paper elastic properties and reactivity of the main arteries in patients with stable angina are investigated. 60 patients with ischemic heart disease were examined on the basis of clinical findings and the results of coronary an-giography. The elasticity and reactivity of arteries was estimated according to the values of pulse wave velocity (PWV) with the help of Colson computer system. The investigation revealed that in patients with ischemic heart disease there is reliable direct dependence between the extent of coronary arteries anomalies and the parameters of PWV on elastic arteries. The defect of reactivity of the main arteries indirectly indicating the presence of endothelial dysfunctions has a significant negative correlation dependence on the degree of stable angina (r = -0,35; P < 0,05).

Conclusions: 1. Ironounced disorder of lipid peroxidation is noted in comatose patients from the moments of their admission which is independent from the cause of uncosciousness, irrespectively of the administered intensive therapy. 2. The dynamics of lipid peroxidation accompanying a complex drug therapy with water - soluble antioxidants mexidol and mafusol, indicates a decrease in the activity of free radicals and a considerable activation of the anlioxidant system. 3. Administration of mexidol and mafusol as part of intensive therapy of comatose patients permits both to correct the disorder of free radical processes and to improve treatment outcomes reducihg the patient's stay at the resuscitation department.

24 hours after beginning the experriment, pronounced morphologic changes of all lagers of the lagre intestine were noted, especially of the mucosa. These changes were accompanied by spasm of intraparietal vessels with reduction of the blood flow and opening of arteriovenous anastomoses. Due to the opened anastomoses arteriovenous blood out-plow increased, which reduces perfusion of intestinal tissues and promotes ischemia with circulatory hypoxia, the latter being aggravated by metabolic hypoxia as intensification of lipid peroxidation continues. Pathologic changes in the small intestine were 6-24 hours ahead of structural changes in the liver and kidneys. By the end of the experiment the acute intestinal insufficiency lyndrome intensefied, while insufficiency of functional detoxicating systems (the liver and kidneys) was clearly indicated by morphologic changes.

This article is about the supports and their usage in Methods of language teaching. In the article we consider two kinds of the supports: a) systematic, b) linguistic. These supports develop the skills of professional-focused reading.
