HIFU: PROSPECTS OF APPLICATION IN ONCOUROLOGY
Description
Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most frequently malignant neoplasms in the worldwide male population. Back in the 90's began a promising noninvasive method of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) as an alternative to radical prostatectomy for the treatment of localized prostate cancer was used. Information about the destructive histological effect by HIFU has been known since the 1930, however, the clinical implementation of this technology due to the absence at the time visualization capabilities for monitoring during the procedure has been postponed. In this paper, an overview of published data on the HIFU clinical application in prostate cancer as a major, "saving" and focal therapy. Examples of a favorable combination of this method are also provided with pharmacological agents. Based on the analysis of clinical data, we can say that HIFU is a good alternative minimally invasive therapeutic modality for patients with prostate cancer who are not candidates for radical prostatectomy. Applying of HIFU is possible as a treatment option with local recurrence after external radiotherapy, with careful selection of patients is important, depending on prognostic factors

THE ACCUMULATION OF COPPER AND ZINC COMPOUNDS IN BLACK LEACHED SOIL UNDER TECHNOGENIC POLLUTION
Description
The influence of exogenous form of heavy metals intake on their transformation in the soil is determined during the model experiment. Distinctions in quantity of extracted mobile compounds of heavy metals in the soil depending on a form of addition various connections of Cu and Zn are established. The smallest mobility of Cu and Zn at addition of heavy metal oxides is observed. It is established that Cu accumulates mainly in the fraction connected with organic matter, Zn accumulates in residual fraction and in the fraction connected with ferric oxide and manganese oxide by consecutive fractionation technique

Description
The influence of auto-displacement in a resonancetunnel diode (RTD) on the dynamic range of amplifiers on these diodes is considered in the article. The amplification at resonance frequency is considered and the influence of higher harmonics is not taken into account, since they do not create a significant voltage drop at the nonlinear resistance of the diode. It is assumed that the gain will be sufficiently large, and then the nature of the dependence of the gain factors on the degree of regeneration will be the same for amplifiers "per pass" and "reflection". This allows us to consider the problem for both types of amplifiers on the RTD. The types of amplitude characteristics , which are possible for the RTD amplifier, are considered. The dependences of the parameter determining the dynamic range of the amplifier on the position of the operating point for several values of the product of the resistance on the direct current of the supply circuit are calculated for the value of the modulus of the maximum negative conductivity of the tunnel gap RG max. For each value of RG max for given parameters, you can determine the position of the operating point, which provides the specified amplifier mode. Dependences of the value of the dynamic range are constructed with allowance for auto-displacement and in the absence of auto-displacement for two values of the degree of regeneration. Taking into account autosplacement, two possible types of amplitude characteristics and boundaries of their existence were revealed. For these two types of amplitude characteristics, expressions were obtained that determine the dynamic range of the amplifier

Description
The problem of environmental contamination by heavy metals is significant problem of urbanization. The search of ways of indication heavy metals pollution becomes actual, because of their simplicity and affordability. A widely used test objects for heavy metals pollution indicators are leafy mosses used for bioindication, because they are highly sensitive to any stress factor. The research shows that bioindication with using leafy mosses as test objects is highly effective method definition of heavy metals pollution. Using of bioindication methods are promising techniques for the assessment of the contamination of ecosystems by heavy metals. Through the use of this method, it is possible indication of pollution of the surface layer of air with heavy metals. The epiphytic moss (Pylaisia polyantha) growing in different zones of the city of Rostov-on-Don, was used for the heavy metals pollution biomonitoring of urbosystems. The accumulation features of heavy metals in the epitaphic pylaisiella moss (Pylaisia polyantha) in the territory of the city of Rostov-on-Don have been considered. pylaisiella moss (P. polyantha) accumulates the largest amounts of the following heavy metals: Zn, Cr, Pb, Sr, Ni (Kc to 1.07), and Cu. According to the Kc values, all the studied elements accumulated by pylaisiella moss form the following series of biological uptake: Zn > Pb > Sr > Cr > V > Ni > Cu > Cо. The results of investigation showed that the epiphytic moss (Pylaisia polyantha) can be used as indicator of heavy metals pollution in different polluted zones

Description
In this article, we have presented a number of modeling experiments to investigate the chemical pollution of brown calcareous soil. It assesses the stability of brown calcareous soil of a nature reserve called Utrish to contamination with heavy metals in biological parameters. Pollution of brown calcareous soil with Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and oil causes a significant reduction in biological parameters. The degree of reduction depends on the nature of the contaminant and its concentration in the soil. The study showed that the indicators used in the biological condition of the soil, could be recommended for use for diagnosis, monitoring, and regulation of chemical pollution of brown soil. According to the degree of resistance to chemical contamination, the brown soils of Russia form the following series: typical brown - brown carbonate - brown leached

BIO-DIAGNOSTICS OF RESISTANCE OF GREY FOREST SOILS OF ADYGEA TO POLLUTION WITH Zn, Cd, Mo, Se
Description
The essential part of a soil cover of the Republic of Adygea is occupied by gray forest soils. Thus they still remain a little studied, including concerning their resistance to chemical pollution. Contamination of gray forest soils of Adygea with Zn, Cd, Mo, Se causes deterioration of their biological properties. In most cases, the degree of reduction of the values of biological indicators is directly dependent on the concentration of pollutant in the soil. According to the degree of toxicity to the biological properties of the investigated elements form the following sequence: Se > Zn > = Cd > Mo. Biological parameters investigated in research (activity of catalase and dehydrogenase, cellulolytic ability, abundance of bacteria of the genus Azotobacter, radish root length) may be used for purposes of monitoring, diagnosis and regulation of chemical pollution of gray forest soils Zn, Cd, Mo, Se

BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF URBAN SOILS (ON THE EXAMPLE OF ROSTOV-ON-DON)
Description
About 40 soil cuts were made in various parts of the city of Rostov-on-Don. The determinations of enzyme activity (catalase, invertase, polyphenoloxidase) were carried out in natural and antropogenic soils of a sub-urban park, residential and industrial areas of the city. The enzyme activity of soils in urban condition signif-icantly lowers than in non-urban soils. It is established, that significant impact on the biological activity has duration of sealing, and the longer the period, the higher the negative impact on the enzymes activity. However, a close relationship between humus state of soil and its enzyme activity kept in a condition of ur-ban pedogenesis. The high activity of investigated enzymes is typical to soil horizons which contain the highest amount of soil organic matter

06.00.00 Agricultural sciences
Description
The regularity that increases biological and enzymatic activity with increasing the age of the deposits of 10 to 82 years has been shown. The indicator of recovery of black leached soil steppes can be presented as invert-ase activity and humus content, as well as reducing the density of the soil. Integrated indicator of the biological properties decreases with decreasing age deposits: 82 years (100%) - 26 years (84%) - 16 and 10 years (74%) - arable land (64%)
