MORPHOGENESIS OF DEEP BURN INJURY UNDER LOW ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION

The paper presents an experimental study and is devoted to burned skin (III grade B) regeneration with the area about 6% under the action of a lowintensity electromagnetic radiation (LIEMR). The experiments are carried on 150 white laboratory rats. The burn is induced by the original technique. The animals exposed to LIEMR combined with drug therapy in comparison with the rats, which get only drug therapy, demonstrated a better general condition since the second day of the experiment, a marked antiinflammatory effect with the stable appearance of a great number of mast cells, absence of fibrosis and regeneration of skin derivatives in the area of coagulative necrosis.

THE EFFECT OF RED FOX’S TRACES ON WINTER ECOLOGY OF MARTEN FAMILY

In the paper the animal communication based on data obtained from species habitat characteristics without any direct visual contacts is presented. The species inhabiting the same region form one common perceptional complex. The species of the same complex have identical natural signscapes. The information value of the objects composing the complex sign field appeared in 2.1 times above then value of specific cue set at an average. The fox possessing a larger sign field magnitude has the maximum environment reflection abilities, assimilation and transformation, unlike other ecologically related species. We may consider it to be the dominant species of this perceptional complex inhabiting flood-land woods of the Samara region. Analyzing the obtained data we estimate adaptations by the exploration of interspecific information relations.

FUNCTIONAL ORGANIZATION OF THE BEHAVIOURAL REACTIONS OF CHIMPANZEE IN DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES OF AIM ACHIEVEMENT

In the paper the behavioral reactions of chimpanzee in situation of achieving the aim approaching at different speed (experimental model of difficult task) is studied. It is shown that after changing the speed the dominance of on-switching the activation systems of the orientation reflex, achievement the aim motivation, positive and negative emotions is also changing. The most appropriate and not appropriate complexes of systems interaction in satisfaction of aim achievement are determined.

PRIMARY DATA ON HABITAT DISTRIBUTION OF INSECTS AND SPIDERS AT THE SEA COAST ON THE RUSSIAN FAR EAST

In the paper the primary data on inner landscape habitat distribution of insects and spi-ders at the sea coast on the Russian Far East is presented. The species diversity and originality generated on the sea coast habitat groupings of cicades, butterflies and spiders-wolves is analyzed. The level of chorological heterogeneity of local faunae is also considered.

PLATELETS’ INTRAVASCULAR ACTIVITY: THE REGIONAL AND AGE-SPECIFIC PECULIARITIES

Results of the study of regional and age-specific peculiarities of platelets’ intravascular activity which are used for diagnostics of prethrombosis and control for effectiveness of antiplatelet therapy are presented in the paper. Comparative analysis has revealed statistically valid differences of the platelets’ intravascular activity between populations of Saint-Petersburg and Samara. The necessity of working up the regional standards of platelets’ intravascular activity is discussed. Dependence of the platelets’ intravascular activity on age is described.

COMMUNICATIVE BEHAVIOUR OF RED FOX AND RACCOON DOG WITHIN THE TERRITORY OF THE NATIONAL PARK ”SAMARSKAYA LUKA”

In the paper new results of the communicative behavior of red fox and raccoon dog based on improved method dealing with the winter researching of the animal tracks are discussed. The study was carried out at the National Park ”Samarskaya Luka”. A list of the main features having signal significance which are stimulating the marking behavior is given. The data on modes of marking ratio and characters of the behavioral reactions of male and female species are noted.
