Special atter~tion is given to questions of viral infection, its manifestatian at different stages of insect development, routes of viral transmission in sites ~f reproduc- tion of the hoat insect, conditions of onset of epontaneous and artificial epizootic outbreaks, and the role of viruses in biological control of insect population. (The results of production experiments on the use of virt~ses in a biological method of control of the fox-colored sawfly [Neodiprion sertifer (Geoff.)], cabbage moth [Mamestra brassicae (L.)] and cabbage white butterflies [Pieridae family] merit attention.) This book is intended for virologists, entomologists, atudents on biological facul- ties and institutes, workers in agriculture and forestry. Introduction ~ In the last two decades, appli~:ations have been found for entomopathogenic viruses in the control of harmful insects in man}~ countries. The very f irst attempts at using viruses in a biological metihod of controling agricultural and forestry _ pests showed them to be promising and superior to chemical agents. The action of viruses is apecific, and it is directed toward specific apecies of host insecte and closely rs~lated speciea, inducing epizootic diseases among them that result in mass scale death. They are harmless to the surrounding flora and fauna~ r~nd thus do not disrupt the biocenotic associations formed in nature. Entomopathogenic viruses are not pathogenic for man and farm animals or fowl. Inherited resistance does not develop in insects sensitive to a virus. There are many reports on devastating epizoptic outbreaks among populations of insects referable to the ordera Lepidop~tera and Hymenoptera, to which belong most - species of harmful insects (Morozova, 1966; Shekhurina, 1966; Guliy, 1967; Sirko, 1968; Zarin', 1968; Dikasova, 1969; Shvedchikova et al., 1969; Shamonin, _ Ponomarenko, 1971; Nurlybayeva, 1973; Vorob'yeva, Baranovskiy et al., 1974; Stein- haus,1950, 1952; Lotmar, 1941; Bird, 1954, i955; Franz, 1955; Tanada, 1961; ~Ia1~, ~ 1 FOR OFFI~IAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00854R000440030014-9 - FOR OFFfCIAi, USE ONLY ; 1~57; Elmore, 1961; Adama et al., 1966; Akutsu, 1967; Doane, 1967; Smith, 1967; . Weiser, 1966). In the literature, it is indicated that epizootics of viral nature with high mortality, which occur among harmful insects, arrest mass reproduction thereof and lead to prolonged depression of the species (Orlovskaya, 1962, 1963, 1968; . Guliy, 1966, 1967; Dikasova, 1969; Vorob'yeva, 1974; Steinhaus, 1949, 1963; _ Bergold, 1953, 1958; Bird, 1964). There are known instances of introduction of pathogenic viruses into insect populatione, and these viruseR became members of the biocenosis, retarding reproduction of the inse~ts for a long time (Orlovskaya, 1963; Vorob'yeva, Zhimerikin, 1974; Bird, 1y55). , Insect viruses are widespread, and ~iral diseases that occur among populations of different harmful insects when there is a burst of mass rQproduction were found to be one of the important factors regulating the number of harmful insects in nature (Poapelov, 1940; Orlovskaya, 1960, 196ii; Poltev, 1963; Balch, Bird, 1944; Bird, 1954; Steinhaus, 1954; Bergold, 1958). Consequently, taking into considera- tion the forecast for reproduction of harmful insects, one can introduce at a specific time large doses of virus into a population and induce an epizootic - resulting in mass scale insect death. Viruses began to be used for the control of harmful insects in the Soviet Un~on, Canada, the United States, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia and other countries by means of inducing artificial epizootics. However, production tests with viruses for the control of agricultural and forestry insect pests were not always successful. In some cases, introduction of the virus results in epizootics with high mortality and in othere, the same virus intrcduced into a population of the same insect species turned out to be minimally effective or ineffective. This is attributable, first of all, to inadequate knowledge of the biological proper- ties of entomopathogenic viruses, which is so needed for comparative studies of viruses isolated from different insect apecies, or even the same species but different populations. The type of nucleic acid and morphological structure of the virion have been identified for only a few insect viruses. In essence, entomopathogenic viruses resemble known viruses that strike at ver- tebrate animals; but many of them are capable of forming unique crystalline elements, which are called inclusion bodies, and which differ in shape and size in different viruses, thati are found in the ce11s and tissues of insects infected with virus. The inclusion bodies may be in the form of polyhedrons and ~ granules, and for this reason the insect diseases are called polyhedrosis and granulosis, respectively. However, there are also viruses that are pathogenic for insects that do not form inclusion bodies in cells. For, this reason, all insect viruses are usually divided into two main groups: viruses that form inclusion bodies--polyhedrons or granuYeg--in the cells of infected animals (inclusion ~ viruses) and viruses that do not form such inclusiona (nonincluaion viruaes). ~ There are more than 250 known viruaes isolated from 175 arthropod species. They include 170 species of viruses of nuclear polyhedrosis, 30 of cytoplasmic poly- hedrosis, 35 of granulosis and the reat are viruses that do not form inclusion bodies (Hughes, 1957; Martignani, Langstrom, 1960; Weiser, 1966). The largest number o~ viruses has been isolated from insects of the ordezs Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera an@ Coleoptera. Viruaea have alsc~ been found in Hemiptera and Z a ~ APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Orthoptera. The uneven distribution of viruses, as determined from isolation thereof, does not reflect the real situation. There are many more viruses in ex~istence than have been described, and they can strike any species, but Lepidoptera and , Hymenoptera are of greater interest to r~searchers, since the pests of treea and farm crops are largely represented by these orders. There is regular ap~earance of reports in the literature about detection of new viral diseases among the pests of differen~ crops and useful wild plants; however, there is still too little - or no information about ieolation of vfruses from harmful insect species that are important ta farming. The prevalence of viruses of polyhedroais and granulosis among those isolated is apparently attributable to the ease of identifying them because ;,i the presence of inclusion bodiea. It is considerably more difficult to detect virur~es that do not form inclusion bodies and to isolate them from insect tissues; numerous successive passages through healthy insects are required, and this is limited by the short larval atage, which is the moat sensitive to viruses (Grace, 1968; Havashi, Bird, - 1968; Miva~ima et al., 1967, 1968). ' Detection and isolatian of entomopathogenic viruses are also difficult because viral infections occur in insects chiefly in a latent form, wi.thout marked symptoma of disease. Research has established that viruses present in insects in a latent form are capable of advancing from one stage of development to another, higher stage, as well as transovarially from one generation to another, thereby persist- ing in a population for many generations without causing acute infection (Pokhil et al,, 1936; Yermakova, Tarase~vich, 1968; Vorob'y~eva, Nurlybayeva, 1974; Bird, 1961a; Bullock et al., 1969). _ The virus could be activated under the influence of endogenous or exogenous factors, change from a latent state to infective virus resu3ting in outbreaks of acute infection among insects with marked symptoms (David, 1966, 1969a; Ignoffo, 1965; Jaques, 1962, 1964). The numerous routes of viral tranamisaion, which have been demonstrated in sites of insect reproduction, cause the spread of acute infection in a population, atriking a large number of insects and causing a spontaneous epizootic. While it is relatively easy to detect and isolate the virus from insect tissues in the case - of acute infections, this is very difficult with lat~nt infec:tion, especially since the form of existence of the virus in a latent state is not yet known. Up to now, differentiation of entomopathogenic viruses is made on the basis of presence or absence of inclusion bodies, their morphelogy and localization in - insect cells, without consideration of the morphological structurE and physico- chemical features of virions. The absence of descriptions of virions prevents detection and selection of strains for use in biological control of harmful in- sects, studies of viruses in nature, their role in patholo~y of man and animals, and systematization thereof. Insufficient knowledge about the biological proper- ties of insect viruses prevents solving problems that are important to substantia-- tion of the desirability of using viruses in the biologi~al method of controlling harmful insects. Some researchers consider virulence of the pathogen to be the main cause of v.'ral epizootics and high insect mortality, whereas others relate it to the physio3o- ~cal condition of the pest, its sensitivity to the virus and population density 3 FOR OFFICI4L USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (Kelsey, 1957, 1958; Rivers, 1958; Gershenson, 1958, 1960; Ossowski, 1960; Ito et - al., 1960; David, 1964, 1965; Gilmore, Munger, 1965; Ignoffo, 1966; Chauthani et al., 1968, 1971; Cunningha.m, 1970; Martignoni, Schmidt, 1961). There is also disagreement as ta virulence of the viruses. Some researchers belleve that the virulence of a virus isolated from one species of insects is manifested to the same degree when it infects insects in different population~ of this species. Others, on the contrary, maintain that there is variability of virulence, depending on the population. Thus, Bird and Burke (1961) report that different populations of sawflies in the field differ in resistance to nuctear polyhedrosis virus. David et al. (1965) isolated a strain of nuclear polyhedrosis virus from a resistant population of Pieris brassicae L.; Aruga et al. (1963) isolated such a strain from a resistant populatior~ of silkworms [Bombyx mori L.]. In 1958, Ossowski (1958) isoLated a strain of nuclear polyhedrosis virus from the Kotochalia ~unodi (Heye) bagworm in remote populations, which was more virulent than a local strain; Thompson (1968) isolated one from the Cadra cautella almond moth. Smirnoff (1961, 1962) reported isolating virus from the Neodiprion swainei sawfly, which was virulent for many populations after passages through sawflies gathered from many regions of Canada. The lack of systems that permit studies outside the host is hampering studies of biology of insect viruses. For a long time, persistent efforts to obtain cell cultures of insect tissues were in vain. In recent years, some researct~ers have made some advances (Grace, 1969; Wyatt, 1956; Vago, 1967). V. D. Miloserdova (1966) did much work on the use of cell cultures to study Nucleopolyhedrosis virus of Bombyx mori. She observed ir. vitro reproduction of nucleai polyhedrosis virus of the silkworm and formation of polyhedrons in cells in cell cultures taken from the ovaries of Bombyx mori (Miloserdova, 1966; Miloserdova et al., '1971)~ Mitsuhashi (1967) obtained reproducti~n of Iridovirus Chilo in cell cultures from leafhopper tissues; Bellett and Mercer (1954, 1965) obtained Iridovirus sericesthis reproduction in a cell culture from tissues of Antheraea eucalypti Scott, and nuclear~polyhedrosis virus was reproduced in sawfly hemocytes (Mosolov et al., 1967; ~ohi, Cunningham, 1972). The Japanese researchers, Himeno et al. (1967) obtained polyhedron formation in cell cultures from tissues of the silkworm by introducing DNA of nliclear poly- hedrosis virus of Bombyx mori. Many published works deal with the correlations that occur between different viral speci~s when they are found together. In practice, infestation of plants by several insect species has been repeatedly encountered. If these insects are infected with viruses, there could be an exchange of viruses if there is cl~se enough contact, use of the same feed contaminated with insect excrements. Some researchers have reported synergism of viruses in insects in such cases (Tanada, 1959-1961; Dikasova, 1969; Paillot, 1936); others, on the contrary, refer to - interference between viruses (Bird, 1959). It is important to settle this question for use of complex viral preparations containing 2-3 viruses in the biological method. It is impossible to propose with certainty the use of a virus isolated in one region against the same host insect in anorher region because of the lack of sufficient data about the sensitivity to the same virus of pest populations 4 . , ~ APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2447/02/09: CIA-RDP82-44850R444444434414-9 FOR OF'FtC1AL USE ONLY in different ecological conditions, and about the ~egree of virulence of different viral strains for the same insect population. Bsrgold {1963) believes that entomopathogenic viruses can be used in any ecologi- cal situations: with or without an identical virus in the insect population. But, in the former instance, efficacy is achieved only if a large enough amount of the virus ia introduced into the population, in the form of overall treatment. In the latter case, introduction can he limited to local treatment. The experier.ce of Soviet and foreign researchers indicates tYiat insect viYUSes can be used in the control of insects that are farm and forest pests, but one must take into consideration and adhere to many virological, entomological and ecological factars that affect the outbreak an~ course of ar~ificial zp~zootics, and the efficacy of viral agents. The best use of entomopathogenic viruses in the control of farm and forestry insect pests can be achieved through the ~oint collaboratior. of researchers in _ many countries of the world. The virological method of controll.ing harmful insects will tnake it necessary to solve many problema, which are the concern of many countries, rather than only one. The mair. question that wil~. have to be answered in the next few years is whether insect viruses are safe to man, farm animals and surrounding fauna. Introduction of large amounts of a viral agent over the circumscribed site of reproduction of a harmful insect, accumulation of enormeus amounts of the virus in soil during an epizootic, absence of a host insect or drastic decline of population there~f cannot fail to have an effect on the virus and local fauna, A virus, as a live agent and strict intracellular parasite, must enter into specific biocenotic relations with _ loca? fauna to remain viable under conditions that are new to it. While circulat- ing among members of a~,iocenosis and in the course of adaptation to new hosts, ~ a virus may acquire new properties, auch as pathogenicity for n~w species of in- sects and mammals, including man. It is imperative to trace the fate of a virus, its bi.ological properties, nature of relatians with other members of the biocenosis--vertebrates and invertebrates-- at the site of reproduction of the host insect ove~ a period of several years following an artif icial epizootic. and only if these problems are resolved can . viruses be used extensively in biological co:?trol of harmful insects. ~ Work was done for several years at the Biological Inatitute, Siberian Department of the USSR Academy of Sciences, to work out the theoretical bases for practical use of entomopathogenic viruses for biological control of the most dangerous pests of trees and agricultural crops in Siberia. This work was pursued in several directions: study of viral infection~ 3.n ~.nsects, detection of epiz~otic outbreaks, patterns of course the~eof, effect on population size, study of biological properti2s of isolated v~-ruses, selection of the most virulent strains for experimental studies of viral infec~ions and reproduction of - artificial epizootics at the sites of insect ~eproduction. ' Demonstration of viral infections, patterns of onset and course of epizooti,c out~ breaks among i.nsect species was necessary because of the econamic importance and mass reproduction of a pest insect species during the peri~a these stud~es were conducted. 5 FOR OFF[CIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/49: CIA-RDP82-00850R040400030014-9 fOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Prior to our work in Siberia, insects had not been submitted to virological examination. V. I. Poltev and V. P. Luk'yanchikov (1961) were the first to isolate granulosis virus--Granulosis virus Dendrolimus sibiricus--from cater-~- pillars of the Siberian silkworm, Dendrolimus sibiricus (Tschtw.), during an epizootic outbreak of granulosis in a population of this pest in Tuva.

Gu~.iy (1967) isolated nuclear polyhedrosis virus during epizootics W~,z~ mass insect mortality, from caterpillar-like larvae of all 3 of these sawflies. _ ~n Amurskaya Oblast, in sites of mass reproduction of the Acneria dispar L. gipsy m~th, when an epizootic was on the decline, the virus of nuclear polyhedrosis, ~ Nucleopolyhedrosis virus Ocneria dispar was isolated and, in addition, the Altayskiy strain from healthy caterpillars collected at a State forestry station in Altay, in the absence of cases of polyhydrosis, and the Sama'rkand strain was isolated from gipsy moth caterpillars, gathered in Samarkandskaya Oblast, which had become sick spontaneously in the laboratory (Larionov, 1971). Nuclear polyhydrosis virus of the cbniferous vaporer moth, N. virus Dasychiria abietis, was isolated from caterpillars that died during an epizootic that broke out at the site of mass reproduction in pine stands in Buryatia. At the time of the inspection, the population of coniferous vaporer moths had been entirely destroyed. Piortality rate of caterpillars constitutzd up to 95% (Zhimerikin, 1969). Spontaneous epizootics of nuclear polyhedrosis are extremely rare among Ma~uaest~a brassicae L. cabbage motha, and there i~ no information about it for either European USSR or Siberia. In 1966, an epizootic was discovered among cater- pillars of this pest at a time of a large population thereof in State farms of Novosibirskaya Oblast (25 caterpillars per head of cabbage). Nucleopolyhedrosis virL~s of Mamestra brassicae was isolated from dead and sick caterpillars. The insect death rate on the f ields constituted up to 75% (Sirko, 1966). R. N. :lurlybayeva (1973) isolated nuclear polyhedrosis virus from cabbage moth ca~erpillars on vegetable f ields of State farms in Kazakhstan. Concurrently, granulosis virus of P. brassicae, G. v. P. rapae were isolated from Pieris brassicae and P. rapae white butterfly caterpillars on the same fields. V. I. Baranovskiy (1971) isolated Granulasis virus Apamea anceps from Apamea ~nc~ps Sch~ff. rust~:c moth caterpillaxs collected from fields in Novosibirskaya Oblast. A11 of the isolated strains of insect viruses were found to be highly virulent~ In view of the differences in ecological conditions, under which the gipsy moths, sawflies, cabbags moths, white butterflies live, it was logical to assume that there were distinctions and differencea in ecological properties of viruses that induced disease in pests of one apecies inhabiting different geographic zones. To test this hypothesis, comparative atudies were made of properties of viruses 6 , APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 ~OR OFFiCiAL USE ONLY ~ isolated from populations in Siberia and other geographic zones. For these studies, - viruses were received from other laboratories or isolated by the researchers at Che sites of reproduction of the studied inaect species in different parts of the Soviet Union. _ The relationship between viruses isolated from different insect populations was determined by serological reactions and the method of fluorescent antibodies. Much work was 3one for the study of resistance of polyhedrons and granules to physic.al. and chemical environmental factors, and to stays in soil. Studies were conducted for determination of the conditions required to induce artificial epizootics, obtain maximum incidence of disease among insects and mass scale deaths within a short period of tim2 (selection of the most virulent strains, doses of agents and age of larvae), under laboratory condition~~ and at sites of reproduction of the fox-colored sawfly and cabbage mo*_h. Studies were made o~ coutes of horizontal and vertical spread of the virus du~ring epizootics that occurred spontaneously or were artificially induced. Transphase and - transovarian transmission of nuclear polyhedrosis and granulosis viruses by infected insects was demonstrated in the field and experiments (Vorob'yeva, Zhimerikin, 1974; Vorob'yeva, Nurlybayeva, 1974). Several field test~ were conducted on ground and aerial treatment of sites of mass reproduction of the fox-colored sawfly with a viral agent prepared in the laboratory. These tests turned out to be very effective: the epizo~tics that occurred on tree stands treated with viral agent caused death of 92-100% of the sawfly caterpillar-13ke larvae. Epizootiological observations conducted for the next 4 years after an artificial Qpizootic at the site revealed that the sawfly ~opulation had been reduced to a minimum, and the:few caterpillar-like ~ larvae that developed in the second, third and fourth generations were infected, which delayed an increase in population size (Guliy, Zhimerikin, 1971; Vorob'yeva et al., 1974). Field experiments at the Aksay State Farm in Kaskelenskiy Rayon of Kazakhstan , (experimental base of the Kazakh Institute for the Protection of Plar.ts) re- vealed that it is possible to induce an artificial epizootic among cabbage moth and white butterfly caterpillars, provided a large dose of virulent virus is introduced into the insect population and that there are caterpillars of a younger aga. The production jfield] experiment demonstrated that it is possi~le to produce an artificial epizootic outbreak simultaneously among cabbage moths, _ cabbage and rape white butterflies using an agent that contains two viruses, polyhedrosis and granulosis (Vorob'yeva, Nurlybayeva, 1974). In many laboratories of the world, studies are in progress of acute and latent viral tnfections among insects, pathomorphology and correlation between virus and host, properties of isolated viruses, resistance to physicochemical environmental factors, preservation of virus in nature, the role of soil containing virus in occurrence of epizooti~s at sites of reproduction of the host insect. The results - of these studies have been published in various ~ournals. A vast literature has been accumulated dealing with the role of viruaes in bialogical control of insects in the field and poseibility of controlling the size of insect populations with - the use of viruses. 7 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 FOR OFFiCIAL USE ONLY There are very few sumn~aries of the existing literature in the form of monographs or textbooks, and none at all in the Soviet literature. The monographs by Steinhaus ("Pathology of Insects" (1950, 1952, 1963), Weister~s "Diseases of Insects" (1966) and Smith's "Insect Viruses" (1967) do not include the bibliography of recent years, which sheds light on many aspects of pathogenesis and pathomorphology of viral infections, epizootiological observations made at the sites of reproduction of insects following spontaneous and artificial epizootics. It is not deemed possible to submit in a single monograph a summary of the Soviet and foreign literature ~iealing with entomopathogenic viruses, use thereof in biological control of pest insects, and our own research conducted with colleagues. We are giving here only the sources that shed light on issues that are needed for theoretical validation of the use of insect viruses to control harmful insects. Entomopathogenic viruses constitute a large group. Most of them are distinctive and kr!own only to occur in insects--polyhedrosis, granuloeis and iridosis viruses. Viruses are also ercountered that resemble smallpox virus of man and aniamis and the virus of vesicular stomatitis (Sigma virus). If only for this reason, it is not deemed feasible to place entomopathogenic viruses into a group that is separate from animal and plant viruses.

The background distinctions of peristalsis and electric acti- vity of smooth gastric muscles were established. Elements of periodic functian of the empty stomach were demonstrated, which are manifested differently in the cardiac and pyloric parts of the atomach. In satiated fish, there was a reduction of amplitude of oscillation of gastric muscle potentials, without appreciable change in frequency. Stimulation of external chemical receptors witt~ food ex- tracts inhibited neristalsis. Bilateral vagotomy elicited brief (3-6 days) im- pairment of motor and bioelectrical activity of the stomach.

Foreword by Editor-in-Chief jV. M. Glushkov] Biological systems have such a wide assortment of properties, distinctive combina- tions thereof, while the function of biological systems is governed by so many different principles that virtually all mathematical methods are used to study them, and the present stage of development of biological and medical sciences is characterized by increasing use of mathematics. In the last 20 years, much material has been accumulated on mathematical models of different biological systems; we have become awar~ of the need to compare the mathematical methods used to the complexity of the biosystems studied and to the applied problems that are being solved on the basis of mathematical models of biosystems. ~ Thus, it can be considered that, at the present time, a new scientific direction, a new scientific discipline is being formed-~-mathematical biology~ This is also indicated by the fact that the Academic Press (New York, London) published the 17 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY "Fundamentals of Mathematical Bicilogy " in three volumes, in 1972. The editor of ~ this publication and one of its main authors, R. Rosen, states in his foreword that "mathematical biology is a sub~ect which is in the process of active develop- ment" and that the "relevant [meaningful] tex~ of mathematical biology must cor.tain a sense of overt incompleteness of this branch of research, in addition to tlte specif~!c results." Aside from the obvious postulation of the infinite nature of the scientific sear.,;h for "absolute truth," this statement also reflects the ob- jective situation that has developed at the present time with the use of mathema- tical methods for analysis of biological systems. For example, there are numerous mathematical models of the heart or neuron. However, by far not every author dis- cusses the range of application of his model,which propert3es this model reflects and which ones it does not, which applied problems the model makes it possible to resolve. Such a situation is typical of any branch of biology and medicine. For this reason, it is difficult to state at the present time that a specific model best reflects the circumscribed aggregate of properties of a biosystem under _ study or that it makes it possible to adequately solve a certain appl~.ed problem. This is why the "Fundamentals of Mathematical Biology" represent nothing more than - collections of articles brilliantly written by a group of well-known specialists in � mathematical investigation of various biosystems. Each of the authors, develops in his field, be it kinetics of enzymes or quantum genetics, his own mathematical - models. The situation that has developed today in mathetnatical biology determined the route that would be best to follow--the route of systematization of various mathe- matical methods that have found applications in studies of various biological sys- tems and solving various applied problems. This was also aided by the following two circumstances. In 1974, the "Encyclopedia of Cybernetics" in two volumes was published, with the active involvement of the Institute of Cybernetics, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, and it contains articles on biological and medical cybernetics. In spite of the fact that many of them are comprehensive, they are essentially _ informative. But for such a developing branch as mathematical biology, there has long been a need for a gutde of mathematical methods. The few monographs published in the Soviet Union and abroad do not meet this need. Thus, the need to publish the "Methods of Mathematical Biology" series is obvious; in our opinion, it should combine the best qualities of a scientific reference book and make use, as much as possible, of information given in it for theoretical research and solving applied problems, an encyclopedia in breadth of coverage, and an educational aid in intelligibility of preaentation. The second circumstance that compelled us to undertake the writing and publ3cation of the "methods" is as follows. We are still far from a real, well-establish.ed textbook theory of biological systems, whereas it is imperative to resolve even now the applied problems related to medicine. This is why the Institute of Cybernetic3, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, is already taking vigorous steps to � create a bank of biological and medical data. A bank with such data is the first and necessary prerequisite for creating a medical information system. At the same time, a data bank is a mandatory prerequisite for creating automated con- trol systems in public health. We belizve that the next mandatory condition for synthesis of such automated control systems is to create a bank of mathematical methods. It is expressly here that we view the applied value of the "Methods of Mathematical Biology." Let us also note that the complexity of problems of mathematical biology is no lower than most technological ones, and for this reason this work also furnishes a systematic presentation of mathematical methods and examples of their use for engineering [technologica].] applications. 18 ~ APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2407/42/09: CIA-RDP82-40850R000400430014-9 FOR OFFICIAL l1SE ONLY This work, which was performed at the initiative of the Institute of Cybernetics, - Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, is the collective labor of prom3nent specialists of the Soviet Union in the area of biological and medical cybernetics. Introduction Biological investigations cor.stitute one-third of current scientific research. Accordingly, more than ane-t~ird of the scientists of the world are engaged in analysis of biological systems and solving applted problems of biology and medicine. Such distribution of scienCific research is attributable to the complexity of bio- logical systems, biological and med~.cal problems, as well as the vital need to solve these problems for mankind. In recent times, the results of biological studies are becoming more and more often the basis for solving problems in traditionally technical scientific directions: automation, development of computer technology, design of intelligent robots. Solving these problems impliss integration of experimental and theoretical studies of biological and medical systems, as well as increasingly broader use in such - st.udies of mathematical methods. Mathematics is a universal language for describ- ing any process or phenomenon. Becaur~e of their abstract nature, the same mathemati- cal methods are found to be suitab3a for studying processes differing in physico- chemistry. It would be wrong to believe that mathematics began to be used only in the last 15- 20 years for description of the function of biological systems; it had been used already at the early stages of studies of living organisms (suffice it to mention the mathematical study of the circulatory system, which L. Euler conducted as far back as the 18th century). - The use of some mathematical method or other for analysis of biological systems depends on the experimental data that the researcher has and the goals he sets for himself. This, in turn, is related to the level of knowledge gained from studies of biological systems, possibilities and resources for experimental studies of - biosystems, knowledge of mathematics and software for problem solving. The mathe- matical description of biological systems and processes is being refined as the level of biological knowledge increases. This is not a simple process; mathemati- cal description may become more complicated at certain stages of a study, then become simpler. At the early stages of using mathematical methods for describing biological systems, any mathematical formula acquired the importance of a biological law by;virtue of its terseness. At the present time, the situation has changed in the area of application of mathematical methods for analysis of biosystems. When constructing a mathematical description of some specific biosystem, researchers are beginning to - realize that they are not covering the entire set of properties of the biosystem and exogenous conditions. For this reason, one no longer refers to mathematical laws, but to mathematical models of biosystems. Each time, the researcher men- tions the properties of a biosystem that he is reproducing in the mathematical model, and he delineates the range of problems, for the solution of which the model is - intended. This circumstance is related to the fact that we have deeper knowledge about the function of biosystems, greater opportunities for experimental studies thereof and more detailed problems that are formulated in experimental studies. 19 _ FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 FOR OFFICIAL IISE ONLY Until recently, progress in biology was linked mainly with the use of the methods of chemistry and physics to analyze biosystems, but the main idea permeaL�ing all of the volumes is related to s~sbstantiation of the applicability to biology of the principles and laws inherent in physical systems. In the last 15-20 years, it was determined by development flf cybernetics. The very appearance of cybernetics is to be credited to deeper studies of engineering and biolagical systems from the standpoint of general control processes [34, 49], processes of transformation of information [55], studies of complexity and organiza- tion. The inception of cybernetics as a science is linked with the names of many Soviet scientists, among whom A. N. Kolmogorov occupies a special place [73]. We owe the development of cybernetics in the USSR with delineation of different applied directrons, to the efforts of A. I. Berg, V. M. Glushkov, N. M. Amosov, A. A. Lyapunov, P. K. Anokhin and V. V. Parin. Modern biology integrates the information of many scientific disciplines, mainly biophysics, biochemistry and bincybernetics. They make wide use of mathematics, whereas in biocybernetics mathematical modeling is the principal method. Bio- cybernetics makes it possible to come closer to demonetration of biosystem func- tion on all hierarchic levels: macromolecular, ce]1 organelle, cell, organ, physio- logical and analyzer systems, internal system and the brain, the integral organism and interaction between the organism and the environment. On the one hand, this is related to its rather general approach directed toward investigation of the patterns of transformation of information, control, complexity and organization of biosystems; on the other hand, it is related to the depth of studies, which is attributable to the feasibility of using the same approach to study different hierarchic levels and interactions between them. It is opportune to mention here a basically new approach to mathematical biology, which was determined by biocybernetics. It is known that virtually a11 of the - known laws of chemistry and physics are valid for biosystems. The uniqueness of organization and complexity of biosystems lies in the fact that one can find in each biosystem, qualitatively different from ofhers, only its own inherent com- bination of chemical and physical laws and principles. Unlike biochemistry and biophysics, it is biocybernetics that permits demonstration, to some degree, of the unique mos~ic of patterns of the biosystems studied. The fundamentals of theoretical cybernetics occupy a large place in the "Methods of Mathematical Biology," by virtu~ of their importance to the study of biological and medical systezns. This makes it poasible not to place biological material on the procrustean bed of purely physfcal lawe and principles, but to disclose the patterns of biosystem function on the basis of mathematical models of th�ls function. At the present time, the geographic range of application of mathematical methods of studying biological and medical systems in our country is rather representative. It can be stated that there are a number of schools differing in object of investigation and specifics of application of mathematical methods. Aside from Moscow, Leningrad and Kiev, which play the leading role, schols are developing ~ in Tbilisi, Rostov-na-Donu, Tashkent, Novosibirsk, Kishinev, Vilnius, Riga, Gor'kiy, Kaliningrad and Kaunas. S'tudies are conducted there in a complex way: biologists and physicians, engineers and mathematicians work together on the same problem. 20 ~ APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2407/42/09: CIA-RDP82-40850R000400430014-9 FOR OFFICIAI. l1SE ONLY This explains the numerous meaningful achievements of r2search on biological and " medical systems, which have been made in recent times. . Vi~tually all branches of classical and modern mathematics are used to synthesize mathematical mode~s of biological and medical systemso Let us mention that the mathematical methods are virtually always altered because of the ~pecifics of the ob~ects studied. Expressly this characterizes the first stage of formation of biomathematics. Concurrently with development of biomathematics, mathematical biology is also being formed. At the present stage of development of research, the I.arge number of mathematical models of biological and medical systems and experience gained in using them to solve applied problems make it possible to systematize and classify the mathematical methods that have found broad use in biology_and medicine.____ - Contents _ - ~a8e _ Foreword by Editor-in-Chief ~ - Introduction 9 Chapter 1.

It is known that about 71% of the surface of our planet is taken up by different bodies of water, in which the photosynthetic process takes place on an enormous scale thanks to algae, and in some cases this process is highly effective. This is aided by the relative stability of temperature conditions in an aquatic environment and the fact that algae do not expend energy on evaporation of water, they expend relatively little energy on respiration and are widely supplied with nutrients, for example, in the eutrophic regions of oc~sans, seas and reservoirs, adequacy of rad3,ant energy and raptd renewal o~ the photosynthes~zing system of ce11s, as 23 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 FUR OFFICIAL l1SE ONLY well as the flexibility of adaptation inherent in algae. According to the esti- mates of different researchers, algae (mainly planktonic) form from one-quarter to one-half of all primary organic matter and oxygen in the earth's biosphere. Algae are a rich source of protein, vitamins, medicinal and other valuable orgeniC and mineral substances used in microbiology and medicine, the paper, perfume, feed and food industries. However, there are no more than several dozen algal species that are being cultivated at the present time, whereas the number of cultiwated higher plants is about 6000. This is largely attributable to the significant differences in form (and availability) of products synthesized by = higher plants and algae, as well as the distinctions of c,ul~i~lat3,ng a1~ae on a mass scale. Thus, there are only a few algae, mainly mulCicellular and colonial, that can be directly extracted from water and used as food or animal feed without any compli- cated technological processing and transformation of the original biomass. Most algae (87%) are represented by the phytoplankton of the oceans, which is distri- buted there in a rather "rarefied" state. A certain level of achivement in the field of physiology and biophysics of these organisms, as well as methods and techniques for photobiological synth~sis on the basis of aquatic plants, are needed to produce productive cultures of algae on a large scale. At the present time, the research analogue of such a pxocess is an optically dense continuous culture of microalgae, conducted in bioengineering units under controlled conditions. With its help, methods and equipment are . being ref ined that are related to biosynthesis of phototrophic cells. Development of inethods of controlled cultivation of useful species of algae and of effective technological processes to recover from them the most important products constitute a task, the performance of.wnich will provide us with new and large biological sources of organic and mineral substances. We can single out some sectors of the national economy concerned with the production of green fodder for livestock farming, live feed for marine farming and inland fisheries, where a concrete solution of such a problem will be needed in the very near future. In our country and abroad, there are plans, as well as extensive measures canducted to create large marine farms and organize intensive mariculture. This is related to the gradual general transition from free hunting of marine organisms to regulated catching and harvesting thereof in the oceans - and then on to controlled marine farming. The existing marine farms specialize mainly in the production of macrophyte algae (laminaria, undaria, gracilaria and others), but in the future others (unicellular, filamented) for use as adequate feed by some groups of marine organisms, as well as to obtain new foodstuffs and valuable substances. _ The use of algae as test ob~ects and experimental biological models in plant phy- siology, biophysics, biochemistry, genetics, ecology and other branches of science is also increasing and becoming more effective. Algae are a very conveni- ent and sometimes irreplaceable ob~ect for the study of evolutionary links in - the organic world and mechanisms of energy and mass exchange processes in a freely living cell. Among the marine unicellular algae--Peridinium--there are fluorescent species, use of which in biophyaics offers additional oppar.tunities for the atudy of - 24 r APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 - FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY the phenomenon of bioluminescence. The distinction of these organisms is that there can be intensive occurrence in them of two opposite processes, photosynthesis (assimilation of light) and luminescence (emission of light). Relatively recently, ~viruses were discovered that induce lysis in algae, so that - algal cutlures become promising for the study of correlations between a virus and free-living plant cell. The Chlorella is studied extensively and often used in biological exper~ments; it is one of the best ob~ects for development of inethods and technology of interisive cultivation of microalgae for industrial photosynthesis and artificial ecosystems. It can be raised relatively easily; it has highly flexible metabblism and can grow at the maximum possible speed for algae. Controlled chlorella cultures have been used repeatedly in closed ecosystems that include ma~n, and in all cases they demon- strated the required stability and efficiency of biological circulation of matter in such systems. This direction of work with algae is continuing to be developed, and it is on the borderline of the problem of recovering foodstuffs from autotrophic ~ microorganisms. Studies related to the regenerative functions of algae in artificial ecosystems are also promising with regard to various natural systems, including the biosphere in its phototrophic element and corresponding connections. At the present time, the anthropogenic effect on some parts of the oceans, inland waters and other compo- nents of the biosphere is acquiring the significance of a substantial ecological factor. The related chemical, radiation and thermal changes in the atmosphere and hydrosphere p.tay an increased role. The most probable reactions of plants of our planet to such environmental changes are known to a suff icient ext~ent. For example, if carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere is inereased and with the possible elevation of temperature ("hothouse effect"), many groups of plants are capable of increasing photosynthesis. But for higher plants that grow on land, there must be concurrent increase in supply of water by virtue of occurrence of a drier climate. Moreover, higher plants generally have lower levels of saturation of photosynthesis with carbon dioxide than algae (other conditions being equal). Con- sequently, if no additional restrictions appear, phytoplankton would have more intensive photosynthetic activity and development in this case. Also, if we assume that there are in the biosphere some "ecological units" that are the most sensitive to impairment of equilibrium, the phytoplankton of the oceans must be included among them. It is the first to react to substantial thermal and chemical water pollution, increased dumping of industrial gases (carbon dioxide and others) into the atmosphere, since it has a high growth potential and is capable of making efficient use for its development of colossal amounts of energy (about 3.6�1020 kcal/ - year) in the form photosynthetically active solar radiation. Thus, if we were to remove the presently existing limits for biogenous elements, including carbon, phytoplankton could grow at almost an 8 times faster rate, as compared to the average rate inherent in modern conditions. For this reason, phytoplankton could potentially provide to a significant degree for the regene- rative function of plants on earth, but then its species-related structure would undergo some substantial changes, which harbors some danger related to dominance _ of only a few species, and those with low trophic value. Under the conditions existing at the present time, we know of the so-called "phytoplankton paradox," which consists of the fact that marine phytoplankton 25 FOR OFF[CIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 FOR OFFICiAL USE ONLY has retained an enormous diversity of apecies and forms in an e~ty~:rpnment where the small number of ~ain growth factors should, it would appear, have led to pre- servation of only a few species. The answer to this question is imp~rtant both to predicting the consequences of intensified growth of phytoplankton in nature and to find means of controlling its photosynthetic activity and species structure. Blue-green algae (Cyanophyta), which consist of about 2500 species, hold a special place among phototrophs. This algae are distributed everywhere. They are en- countered on the surface of snow and ice, in stagnant waters and swift rivers, on damp cliffs, on the surface of the ground, in hot springs and in the cold Arctic _ lakes. They can also be found in the most diverse places in symbioais with other organisms. Some epecies are well-adapted for growth in the presence of high 1evels of radiation and high concentrations of different salts, including sulfur- containing mineral compounds. There are known cases of growth of these algae in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide alone and at high pressure. These and other pro- perties of blue--green algae are of considerable scientific interest. By using them in research, one can determine the ecological boundaries, within which the organic world is preserved and develops within the region of its phototrophic mode of existence. And, although such boundaries are being determined on the basis of the properties of terrestrial microorganisms, this also gives us greater certainty of discovering extraterrestrial life on planets where the gas, tempera- ture, water, radiant and other conditinns do not preclude the growth and photo- synthesis of unicellular organisms similar to blue-green algae. It is known that blue-green algae are among the most ancient and relatively simply organized of all existing chlorophyll-containing organiams. They do not have an distinctly formed organoids. The chlorophyll is not concentrated in chloroplasts, as in other plants; rather, it is distributed (relatively uniformly) over the cytoplasm in the form of fine grains. In addition to chlorophyll and carotenoids, blue- green algae have additional pigments--phycocyanin and phycoerythrin (biliproteins)-- from the mixture of which with chlorophyll results the typical blue-green color of the algae. However, it could change from bright blue-green, yellowish to red, depending on conditions of growth and development. The cells are usually covered with a sticky, gel-like external membrane. On the whole, blue-green algae occur in a wide diversity of external appearance within the unicellular and filamented forms, but the structure of their cells changes to a lesser extent than in other types of algae. As shown by the experience of some ethnic groups on earth, some species of blue-green algae (from the genera Nostoc and Spirulina) can be used as food. However, it is not clear about the amounts of such algae that can be included in man's steady _ diet. Most likely, they can be used as vitamin, therapeutic and other food supple- ments, rather than as the basis of the diet. It is knoam, for example, that Spirulina is r:tch in vitamins A, Bl, B2, B12 and C. Therapeutic properties have also been _ demonstrated in some species of blue-green algae, including thouse develop3ng in hot springs. Blue-green algae play a large part also in forming therapeutic mud. Some species of blue-green algae, which are capable of fixing molecular nitrogen, are actively involved in increasing the fertility of soil in flooded lann, as well as nitrogen enrichment of reservoirs, which enhances their overall biological - productivity. At the same time, some species of blue-green algae have toxic properties, thereby lowering the quality of available sources of clean water. During the period of 26 ~ APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 FOR OFFICIAL USE QNLY their mass acale development, blue-green algae create cot~~~dexable difficulties in water purification. Knowledge of the causes and conditiona of mass scale develop- _ ment of blue-green algae in certain reservoirs ("~oloration" of water) is gaining ever :increasing practical importance. The fact that there is some correlation _ between this phenomenon and eutrophication of water prompted some researchers to use saprogenic ["saprobnyye"?] species of algae as a sensitive biological indi- cator of polluted bodies of water. Blue-green algae are the only organisme capable of photosynthesis and discharge of oxygen at high temperatures. The cells of all other photosynthesizing organisms do not ~aually grow at temperatures above 46�C. Field and laboratory studies have = shown that the maximum temperature for growth of blue-green algae is 73�C, although we only know of one apecies thus far that grows at this temperature. In neutral and alkaline hot springs, blue-green algae prevail at temperatures of up to 40�C. Thermophil and high-temperature algae grow profusely in the hot springs of the Caucasus, Kamchatka, Iceland, New Zealand and North America. It was found that the maximum temperature for growth of thermophil bacteria is close to 95.5�C, although they may remain viable at 105�C. If we also consider the fact that structural and certain functional features of blue-green alo?e are similar to those of bacteria, we can assume that there are natural hot springs, in which algae develop at temperatures above 73�C. Perhaps these will be exclusively relict forms. In the last decades, hydrobionts of thermal springs have been studied - intensively and extensively. Among them, a significant diversity of species of bacteria and blue-green algae have been found; however, the maximum temperature for photosynthesis has not been determined. Nor is there a developed theory to explain the growth and development of primitive organisms at very high tempera-- tures, on the basis of which one could make a quantitative estimate of the maxfmum temperature for photosynthesis. Blue-green algae have drawn our attention in connection with work on problems of stability and energy efficiency of algal cultures as an ob~ect of controlled bio- synthesis. We have already nated that there are inherently greater restrictions for other types of algae than for representatives of blue-green algae with res- _ pect to resistance to different factors and range of optimum effects thereof. On the whole, the amplitude of ecological adaptation is much wider for them than other groups of lower phototrophs. Moreover, under conditions of intens3ve and prolonged cultivation thereof in biotechnological complexes, in which ce11s could be exposed to extreme physicochemical factors, their genetic resistance and wide - biochemical diversity are very important. By using blue-green algae in controlled biosynthesis, one can widen significantly the range of funct3onal activity and stability of cultures. Studies were conducted mainly with thermophilic, high-temperature forms of blue- green algae, which made it possible to raise the temperature drastically while cultivating cells, up to the maximum levels that have been found for photosynthe- _ sizing organisms in nature. For one of the high-temperature strains of blue- green algae which we cultivated, the optimum temperature for growth was 54:58�C and the maximum was abou~ 65�C. Special cultivator units were designed and assembled to study the patterns of growth, photosynthesis and production propertiea of microalgae as related to ~ FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY - cultivation parameters. By using these units one can regulate and stabilize at a specified level the main exogenous factors and main parameters of the algal culture: irradiation of the cell suspension, with regard to both intensity and spectral composition, temperature of the suspension, concentration of C02 in the gas flux, composition and concentration of elements in the nutrient medium, optical density of the suspension, pH and others. A most isnportant aspect of research on algal photobiosynthesis is to study its kinetics in stationary and transient states as related to intensity, spectral ' composition and frequency of interruption of light. Some of the patterns of growth and photosynthesis of cell, demonstrated in the experiments, ensue from the shape of the light curves obtained for a specific growth rate, productivity (biomass), - assimilation characteristics of chlorophyll and efficiency of assimilation of absorbed radiant energy. On this route, one can find the conditions for reaching - maximum energetic efficiency of biosynthesis of algae in culture and high func- tional stability of the process of photosynthesis, which provides for synthesis by means of ~ight, the organic products needed by the cell for energy and regulatory purposea. The solution of these problema will ultimately result in the high energy efficiency of algal production in all of the practical and research applica~ tions where intensive cultivation of algae is required. Successful work on the theoretical bases and most important applications (regenera- Cion of environment and.production of valuable substances) of controlled cultiva- tion of various species of algae and communities thereof will enable us, in the future, to acquire a strong resource for organic and mineral products, to augment drastically the biological productivity of bodies of water and obtain a signifi- cant national economic effect, and it will concurrently give researchers an effective experimental model of photobiosynthesis with inexhaustible possibil3ties.

Babiychuk, doctor of inedical sciences, Izdatel'stvo DOSAAF SSSR, 17,000 copies, 247 pages, illustrated] [Text] This booic deals with problems of aviation medicine as they relate to the - distinctions of inedical support of flights aboard flying vehicles of the civil aviation and DOSAAF [All-Union Volunary Society for Assistance to the Army, Air Force and Navy of the USSR]. There is discussion of ineasures for providing optimum working conditions for flight crews, and a set of ineasures is presented that provides for a high level of health of flight personnel, psychopi~ysiological capa- cities, as well as discussion of some other priority problems of inedical support of flight safety. Foreword As a result of scientific and technological progress in the field of aviation engineering, the civil aviation fleet of aircraft is being constantly enlarged with Tu-134, Tu-154, I1-62, I1-76, Tu-144, I1-86 and other liners, which transport passengers and cargo on a mass scale, as well as the Mi-6, Mi-8, Mi-10 and Ka-26 helicopters, which are used extensively in different sectors of the national economy. Aviation techniques are being refined in flying schools of the civil aviation and DOSAAF air clubs. Modern aircraft and fielicopters are complex flying vehicles, which are equipped with the latest automatic and semiautomatic equipment, but, as before, man plays the leading role in the "man-raachine" system. Control of a modern aircraft is viewed as a complex system, which includes a human operator, on the one hand, and control equipment, on the other, which are inter- connected. A high degree of reliability and efficiency in operation of this system can be achieved only if the specifications of machine elements that directly interact with the operator conform with his physical and psychological capacities, and if the flight factors will not have an adverse effect on him that would lower his fitness for work. 30 ~ FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 FOR OFF[CIAL USE ONLV i~r this reason, medical support of flight safety in the civil aviation and DOSAAF is organized in two directions. The first direction refers to providing optimum working conditions for flight crews in the broad sense. These measures are implemented directly in the design and equipment of cabins,~in accordance with special medical and engineering requirements, and they include optimum lay-out and equipment of work places for the crew, units that provide the necessary microclimate, protection against pollution of the cabin air environment by toxic chemicals, protection against noise and vibration, adherence to standards for cabin illumination, etc. The second direction of inedical support of flight safety refers to a set of ineasures, = whose main ob~ect is the operator, to provide for a high level of health of flight personne~, psychophyaiological and psychological capacities, guaranteeing a high degree of reliability of the human element in the system of aircraft or helicopter . control. The medical measures in this direction include screening of candidates for civil aviation flying schools and DOSAAF air clubs, with respect to health status, obser- vation of their health status during training and flying; evaluation of the candidates' personality traits is given a certain role. An important place is assigned to questions of developing work, rest and eating schedules, as well as observation of physical conditioning of flight and engineering-technical personnel and other special aviation medicine problems. Medical analysis of the causes and conditions related to flight incidents and erroneous action by flight personnel constitutes a special branch of support of flight safety, for the purpose of preparing medical recommendations to prevent them. The most pressing problems of inedical support of flight safety in the civil and DOSAAF aviation are discussed in relevant chapters. This book is intended for aviation physicians and other aviation specialists; its purpose was to try to systematize problems of aviation medicine as they relate to the distinctions of inedical support of flight safety in flying vehicles of the civil aviation and DOSAAF.

There is a detailed analysis of the role of erythropoietin in regulation of erythropoiesis in normal and pathological conditions, mechanisms of its action and significance of inhibitors of erythropoiesis. Methods for purify- ing erythropoiet~n are described. Data are given on biochemistry of erythrocytes, ontogenetic changes in properties of hemoglobin and erythrocytes, physiological mechanisms of hemolysis. Sufficient attention is given to the role of iron and deficiency thereof in production of hemoglobin and erythrocytes, and effect of the spleen on erythropoiesis. Questions of mathematical modeling of erythron are discussed. There are 7 tables, 45 illustrations; bibliography lists 1353 items. Foreword This volume is a supplement to the volume of "Physiology of Blood" published in 1968. In the 10 years that have passed since the first manual was published there has been significant revision of theaes, the fundamental role of which in regulation of erythropoiesie had b~en generally recognized up to that time. This applies, - first of all, to the teaching on cellular bases of hemopoiesis. We can state with certainty that new cloning methods of experimental analysis have triumphed; they altered fundamentally the methodological approach to studies of cytological bases of erythropoiesis and radically alt~red the conception about the hemo- poietic stem cell. The present stage of research on mechanisms of regulation of erythropoiesis is characterized by the use of Lhe latest methods of morphological and functional investigations.

Use of the new methods deepened significantly our knowledge about molecular and subcellular mechanisms of regulation of erythropoiesis.. However, a complex r.esearch program should be considered the most promising; it permits development of a conception of the principles of correlation between . processes that are formed on different levels--molecular, subcellular, cellular, tissular, systemic--and thus form a judgment about the distinctions of processes involved in regulating ery*hropoiesis in the body. Having defined this as the most promising task in the study of physiology of erythro- poiesis, we tried to lay the foundation for performing it, submitting chapters in this volume that deal wiLh the role of erythropoietin in regulation of erythro- poiesis and that shed light, in particular, on molecular and genetic aspects of the action of erythropoietin, as well as submicroscopic organizati,on of erythroid cells and changes therein under the influence of the hormone. Significant attention is given to analysis of the mechanisms of renal and extra- renal synthesis of erythropoietin, its chemistry and methods of purification. There is a separate chapter dealing with current conceptions of properties of the hemopoietic stem cell, regulation of its proliferation and differentiation, and formation of erythroid precursor cplls. For the first time, data are concentrated in this manual on blood supply and innervation of the hemopoietic organ, i.e., bone marrow. Comprehensive data are submitted on the role of iron as a factor that limits erythropoiesis, the role of the spleen in physiological destruction of erythrocytes, biochemistry of mature erythrocytes and their role in oxygen transport. There is comprehensive dis- cussion of different aspects of the,problem of erythrocyte destruction under physiological conditions. The cor~'elations between processes of breakdown and - forma*ion of erythrocyte5 a~'e ana~~yzed from new vantage points. Presentation of current conceptions of the bases.~for mathematical modeling of erythron is the logical conclusion of the data published in ttiis volume. This manual on "Physiology of Erytl~ropoiesis" offered to the reader is based not only on analysis of the extensivc literature of recen~ years, but the results of many years of research by the authors, which renders this work particularly valuable.

K. Shkhvatsabaya, corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, introdtiction and table of contents from book - "Peripheral 'Hearts' of Man", by N. I. Arinchin, Institute of Physiology, Beloruss3an Academy of Sc iences, Izdatel'stvo "Nauka i tekhnika.", 80 pages] [Text] Scientists have long since been concexned with the question of why there - is no duplication for such an extremely important organ as the heart. Why is there only one heart in an organism? This pamphlet describes helpers of the central heart, which were discovexed in man and animals and which are not contained in the cardiovascular system, but within skeletal muscles, and which were named intramuscular peripheral "hearts.~' The readers will learn about their function, how peripheral "hearts" can be used as the most efficient helpers of the central heart to alleviate its function, enhance its reliability, s trengthen health,.prolong life and creative f itness for work in man. This pamphlet is intended for a wide circle of physicians, instructors and ViTZ students. There are 17 illustration s; bibliography lists 24 items. Foreword ; The heart, circulation and cardiovascular diseases constitute the range of issues that are the most frequent sub~ect of numerous popular science publications, which differ in depth and significance, that have appeared in the last decades in the medical literature. The interest in these matters is understandable, in view of the wide incidence of cardiovascular diseases, which have the sad prerogative of being number one among medical and public health problems, becauae of their consequences to human heal th and extent of social and economic det~riment to the state. Therpfore, it is understandable that the appearance of publications on this sub3ect could be of interest only if they shed light on new aspects of the problem and advance ideas that can or could be subsequently u~ed to solve practical health care problems. 39 FOR OFFI~'IAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY In this respect, the pamphlet by N. I. Arinchin, who is known in our country through . his work in the field of phyaiology and pathophysiology of circulation, should attract much interest on the part of readers, including physic:Lana and specialist- cardiologists. It is interesting, first of all, because the pamphlet is based on ideas that are ~ harmonious with the conception of "peripheral heart" advanced by the Ruasian _ scientist, Academician M. V. Yanovskiy, at the start of this century. Up to a certain time, the term, "peripheral heart," was virtually unused in the medical literatu re or modern physiology, and it was merely mentioned in a historical sense. This occurred because of the extremely contradictory views on this problem, which resulted because of the lack of sufficient scientific facts and use of imperfect methods for studying the circulatory system. This gap, which was regrettable in our opinion, was filled by a series of numerous scientific studies conducted by N. I. Arinchin and his colleagues. Thanks to them, the question of "peripheral heart" not only inspired interest again, but acquired a new meaning, with emphasis on its practical implications for problems of treatment, rehabilitation and prevention of cardiovascular diseases. In this relatively small brochure, the author succeeded in submitting, in an attractive and, at the same time, meaningful form, scientific facts with diverse significance and ensuing basic theses referable to different aspects of the prob- , lem of "peripheral heart." All of these aspects are essentially listed in the table of contents, which lends clarity to description of the pro~lem, which is sometimes debatable, complex and insufficiently investigated. In view of the fact that this publicarion deals with a new problem, there is also inevitable appearance of new terms, for example, '"peripheral hearts," "totally isolated intramuscular peripheral heart," "self-sufficient organ" (to which the author refers skeletal muscles), etc., which could prompt dis- cussions among specialists, as well as some doubt as to the validity of using them. Apart from terminological questions, let us mention the great interest and valida- tion of the author~s attempts to use the conception of "peripheral heart" to gain understanding and for future work on purely practical clinical problems. They - include, specifically, the effect of an ancillary conditioning regimen on cardiac - function and the question of correlation between motor activity and cardiac func- tion in general, the effect of gravity factors on the heart, signif icance of ancillary [helping] circulatory factors to rehabilitation of patients with cardio- vascular diseases, etc. ~ I am convinced that thi,s pamphlet wi11 be found interesting to readers, and this - not because it has a title that is intriguing at first glance, but because it con- tains new material and theses that broaden our conceptions about the functional patterns of the circulatory syetem, knowledge about which is important to our understanding of practical problems of preaerving health and treating cardiovascular diseases.

However, it was found that the heart, which had been considered heretofore to be solitary, has numerous helpe=s in the form of intramuscular peripheral "hearts." They are still little-known and none of us makes sufficient use of them in our everyday life to relieve the work of our heart. Probably herein lies one of the many reasons why the heart, this sensitive organ that responds to all experiences, the "motor of life," which performs colossal work, becomes diseased, even in youn~g people, leading to premature disability and a high death rate, generating one of the most important problems in the life of modern society. In this popular pamphlet, an attempt was made to report on the discovery of intramuscular peripheral "hearts," the characteristics of their function, as well as their role in enhancing the reliability of the entire cardiovascular system, prolonging longevity and active creative fitness for work of man. This pamphlet also deals with potential possibilities of using knowledge about the function of intramuscular peripheral "hearts10 in medicine, physical culture and sports, in space biology and in man's everyday life.

The effects of tonic (fortifying) substances from plants--eleutero- coccus, lemon tree, aralia, ginseng and many others-- are described. Analysis is made of the effects of such biologically active substances as vitamin C, pantocrin [hormone derived from reindeer horns], tea, coffee, etc. In the author~s opinion, use of these substances is one of the ways of strengthening health. Foreword Biologically active substances are often equated with drugs. But drugs are merely , a special instance of biologically active substances. Considerably larger amounts - of such substances are contained in foods. They include chemical stimulants (tea, _ coffee), toxic (fungi), narcotic (poppy) substances, as well as those with a therapeutic and preventive action (carrots, cabbage, rhubarb, prunes and others). The average amount of drugs taken by one man over his entj.re lifetime would fit in his two palms. Immeasurably large amounts of biologically active substances - are ingested with foods consumed over a lifetime--meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, as well as tea, wine, beer and other beverages. While a man consumes an average of 1 kg solids (without water) with foodstuffs per day, in.70 years the amount ingested would constitute more than 25 tons. This includes many thousands of biologically active substances, which is immeasurably more than the dozens or hundreds of chemicals ingested in the form of inedication. _ In spite of the abundant intake of biologically active substances with food, which have enormous signif icance to human health, they have been studied relatively - little. Science has concentrated mainly on the therapeutic effects of drugs and some of the harmful ingredients in food. ~ Primitive man, in his search for food, tried all of the plants, all of the animals, birds, fish and many other sources of food that he could reach.

Some make one happier, while others cause discomfort. Many plants and animals are poisonous, even lethal. Thus, mankind accumulated experi- ence, which then was transformed into ti~e science of drugs, i:e., pharmacology. At first, people did not know very much about diseases, of which there are now . known to be thousands, but they were well aware of the fact that one "potion" made a person feel good, another--poorly, one was benef icial and another harmful. Pharmacology has grown to be mainly pharmacotherapy, i.e., the science deali~g with treatment of diseases. But, when man is not sick, when he is in good health, he does not restrict himself in the choice of food, he smokes, drinks alcoholic bever- ages, uses sauces, spices, vegetables, fruit, etc. A flow of substances is ingested. As stated by the great dialectician of ancient Greece, Heraclitus, our bodies are like streams and matter is renewed in them like water in a current. These substances determine the condition, health and life of an organism. Is there a science that deals with this problem as a whole? The science of nutri- tion deals in essence with hygiene of nutrition and alimentary sanitation. The range of biologically active substances that it studiea is limited to vitamins, trace elements and a very small assortment of substances. Intake of all sorts of alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, to which increasingly diversified complexes = of biologically active substances are added, did not become the subject of research. Smoking tobacco and chewing betel are left beyond the field of vision of science. Spices, sauces, berries, fruit, honey, various beverages made at home and many other products have not yet become the subjects of serious pharmacological studies. Any new synthetic drug is studied for a long time and comprehensively. Yet honey, for example, which people have been consuming for several thousand years, has not been studied seriously. It should be noted that drugs too vary. Some have distinct and potent action, and = they are used to treat the sick and save the dying. But there are also drugs whose action develops gradually, over weeks and months. They are beneficial, - since they strengthen health, make the body more resistant to all sorts of difficul- ties and diseases. Such drugs are closer to beneficial food than medicinal sub- stances. They include ginseng, eleuterococcus and plants with similar action, horns of the young axis and other deer species, the horns of the Saiga tatarica L. and certain aquatic invertebrates, which had been the objects of pharmacological studies of this author for 30 years. Thus, the life of a healthy man involves the conatant effects of many biologically active substances, which determine his condition, resistance to diseases, work capacity and creativity. This area has been studied very inadequately. This book does not presume to fill the gap in any significant way. It has a more modest purpose, that of pointing to a very important f ield, in which research has yet to be conducted. Contents Page 3 - Foreword 6 Chapter 1.

It was proven that activa- tion of the adrenergic system induces faster breathing and inhibition induces slower breatihing. There is a description of phasic changes in mediator activity at different stages of formation of pathological sets of symptoms in the presence of extreme states and with artificially induced surplus or shortage of adrenergic, cholinergic and serotoninergic complexes. The pathogenesis of "lung shock" is identified in the light of pathophysiological and pathomorphological parallels. A method was developed for experimental therapq of respiratory disturbances in the presence of the extreme states studied, as related to the stage of the process, by means of using pharmacological agents that affect mediator metabolism. It was learned that normalization of respiration in extreme ~ituationa increases drasti- _ cally the survival of experimental animals. On the basis of their studies, the authors propose and have made clinical use o� methods of normalizing respiration in the presence of traumatic shock, massive hemorrhage, cerebral trauma, combined trauma to the skull and skeletomuscular system, acute pancreatitis and peritonitis, which are based on the use of tried and true neurotropic agents--cholinesterase, serotonin, cholinomimetics combined with hydrocortisone. This book is intended for pathophqsiologists, resuscitation specialists, traumato- logists and surgeons. This publication contains 39 �igures and 21 tables; bibliography lists 368 items.

The conception of airways as passive air ducts has bee~ en- tirely re~ected; the role of bronchopulmonary muscles has been proven in formation and correction of physiological and pathological atelectases; the teaching oiz lung surfactant as the most important factor in the function of pulmonary alveoli and a11 of the parenchyma o� the organ as a whole is undergoing a"rebirth." In essence, the current conception of regulation of respiration has also been formed. The conception of the respiratory center, formulated by N. A. Mislavskiy (1885) was developed in the studies of numerous author$, in particular by the schaol of M. V. Sergiyevskiy (1950-1975). It was proven that the respiratory center has automatism, which is related to its dietinctive metabolism and is maintained by afferent im- pulsation and influences from the higher branches of the brain. Co~unication between the respiratory center and effector organs--the lungs--is pro- vided through th~ system of the trigeminal, phrenic and vagus nerves and ad~acent sympathetic trunk. Receptors of the alveolar parenchyma, which "function to expand and collapse," are of special importance. The system of th? vagus plays the leading role in neuroreflex regulation of respi- ration. At the same time, diencephalic and cortical structures, which refine and ~ complicate regulation of respiration under the continuously changing environmental - conditions, are rather i~portant in man. Studies were aiso made of the second route of regulating respiration, the humoral one. It was demonstrated that blood COZ tensio~ affects both the chemoreceptors of vascular reflexogenic zones and chemoreceptive corpuscles right near the res- piratory center. The significance of changes in blood pH to regulation of respira- tion is discussed. The significance of neuromediators to maintenance of adequate respiratory function has been atudied considerably less. The most comprehensive studies of the effects of the adrenergic mediator on respiration, which were conducted in the laboratory of M. V. Sergiyevskiy (1975), demonstrated that, dependi~g on the mode and site _ of administration, catecholamines act as stimulators or inhibitors of pulmonary ventilation. Numerous experiments dealing with the effects of a mediator such as acetylcholine revealed that when it acts on central nervous structures there is most often a - two-phase effect on the respiratory system: first depression of respiratory func- tion and then stimulation. With peripheral action of acetylcholine, there is. usually intensification of respiration. In the last few years, serotonin has inspired the close scrutiny of clinicians and theoreticians; not infrequently it is called a"neurohormone" because of its affinity with elements of the nervous system. Studies of its effects on respira- - tion led authors to contradictory results. Data were obtained indicative of both activation and depression of external and tissuZar respiration under the influence of this mediator. Thus, T. P. Il'ichenko (1970) discovered a two-phase reaction to serotonin--depression of respiration followed by intensification. Thus, it may be considered that the most important problem--definition of the place and significance of inediator systems in regulation of respiration--has only been solved thus far in the first approximation, and that it is waiting for fur- ther development.

These considerations prompted us to conduct systematic experimental and clinical studies of respiration under normal and pathological conditione, taking into consideration the role of adrener~ic, cholinergic and serotoninergic mechanisms of regulation thereof. - Having established the general patterns of respiratory disorders as related to changes in mediator activity, we undertook the study of activity of inediator sys- tems in the presence of extreme states--acute hemorrhage, tra~atic and hemorrhagic shock, cerebral trauma and combined trauma to the skull and skeletomuscular system, extensive peritonitis and acute pancreatitis. For better verification of the re- sults we obtatned, we conducted additional studies with artificial activation or inhibition of a given mediator system. Of course, the most interesting ph~se of the study was the attempt to treat respiratory disorders in the presence of the above-rmentioned extreme states (both experimentally and under clinical conditions) by normalizing the levels of the appropriate mediatore in the body. It must be stipulated that the authors by no means consider respiratory disturb- ances to be the sole or prime factor in th~ pathogenesis of shock, skull trauma, combination thereof with in~ury to the skeletomuscular system, 1et alone acute inflammatory diseases of the abdominal cavity. However, it is unquestionable that there are respiratory disturbances with these extreme states, and they aggravate the clinical signs; for this reason, normalization of such an important function cannot fail to affect the function of other vital systems. In addition, the . breadth of physiological effects of inediators suggests that there are numerous points of their application and universality of influence on all elements involved - in maintaining homeostasis. Indeed, there was reliable increase in survival rate of experimental animals when breathing was "controlled" through mediator mechanisms in all series of experiments. Clinical trials of some of the methods developed experimentally for normalizing mediator activity and respiratory function also _ yielded encouraging results. The investigations that served as the basis of this monograph are the collective labor that was described in numerous publications and competent works.

Man's relationship to the environment is unique in that in his purposeful activity, he must adapt to changing environmental conditions: the accelerating pace and rhythm of life, growth in the flow of information, intensification of activity associated with interpersonal relatior:s, a perpetual lack of time, and so on. Under , these conditions man experiences emotional stress not simply as a psychophysiological ' reaction to some sort of stress factors. Instead, emotional stress is an integra- tive indicator of inental activity arising in the course of social communication among people at work and at home, and associated with a conceptual model of parti- cular situations, often conflicting ones. In this time of the scientific-technical revolution, when much money and time must be expended to train a speciali~t, proper occupational selection of individuals for a given form of activity acquires great significance. The structure of the person- ality, its psychophysiological determinants, and the given individual's resistance to stressful influences are closely associated with the effectiveness and reliability of activity performed in complex conditions causing emotional stress. In its specific form, emotianal stress is not a chance manifestation of certain forms of hinnan activity, but the natural result of the changing content and struc- ture of the production activities of people experiencing the dynamic flow of pro- duction in the scientific-technical revolution. Emotions are a special form of the organism's mutual relationship to the external world, mediating change in the social environment and the nature of human mutual relationships. Participating in the outside world's assimilation, emotions elicit integrative changes in the body's _ physiological and biochemical functions, and they affect various systems: mental, neurohumoral, hormonal, autonomic, and so on. Long-acting negative emotions may sometimes break down regulation of the activities of organs and body systems. Research on human activity in the presence of emotional stress affords a possibility for evaluating the deviation limits for mental and physiological parameters in 55 FOR OFFICIAL USE ON~.Y APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 FOR OFFICIAi. USE ONLY situations meaningful and habitual to the subject. Emotional stress has a dynamic influence upon the individual's objective activity, in a sense superimposing itself over this activity as an emotion.al and motivational component. While the motiva- tional component regulates the individual's mental activity in accordance with his needs, sets, and the meaningfulness of his activity, the emotional component in a sense brinqs this mental activity into being, turning on all of the mechanisms ~ of the individual's vital activities, in the form of different physiological determinants which define the stability of homeostasis in the activi~kies of different organs and systems. In the presence of emotional stress, such mobiliza- tion of inental and physiological mechanisms promotes maintenance of a high functional level in mental and biological processes. In our research, motivation was mainly a means for realizing the individual's potentials. This monograph presents materials that had be~n obtained in a therapeutic clinic through the joint efforts of clinicists, physiologists, and psychologists. The _ authors conducted research for several years on emotional stress in 100 healthy - individuals and more than 300 patients with stages I and II hypertension. Hyper- tension patients were chosen because arterial pressure parameters undergo ctiange in the presence of emotional stress, and one of the etiological factors of hyper- tension is long-lasting emotional stress. Therefore, studying the reaction of the healthy body and the patient with the initial stages of hypertension to emotional - stress, we attempted to study those initial elements of disintegration of the human body's regulatory adaptive mechanisms which make up the basis of the pathogenesis of vascular diseases, hypertension in particular. We selected several models with which to simulate emotional stress: a single standardized situation of inental ac'tivity performed against tne clock, group interaction, the correction test, and Kraepelin's tables. Creating emotional stress i.n healthy individuals and hypertension patients, we studied deviations in aarious physiological constants, and we noted the qualita- tive and quantitative limits of disintegration of adaptive mechanisms. We devoted special attention to brain biocurrents and autonomic indicators, assuming that homeostasis of nervous and cerebral bioelectric processes is the first adaptive element permitting the individual to maintain an equili.brium with the environment. We found that cerebral blood flow, which correlates subtly with the nature of inental activity and which reflects both t.ze hereditary and the environmental dominant, is a very informative indicator. The reaction of the coagulation and anticoagulation systems to emotional stress also revealed a large number of interesting laws reflecting the individual psychological determinants of the personality, and the qualitative nature of simulated emotional stress. The mosaic nature of requlatory adaptive mechanisms of the coagulation system operating in response to emotional stress affords a poss~,bility for developing preventive measures against thrombic complications in hypertension patients. We are aware that when human activity is studied in clinical and laboratory condi- - tions, experimentally simulated emotional stress is not equivalent to that state which arises in a real production situation.. But such simulation has a number of advantages. First of all by standardizing the situation for individual activity, - we were able to compare deviations in mental and physiological paxameters exhibited by different persons in response to the same load. Deterntination of this load's . psychophysiological meaningfulness to individuals with different personality features permitted us to in a sense isolate the most optimum personality traits and the most economical psychophysiological processes in relation to the performance of emotionally stressful ac~ivity. 56 ~'OR OFb'ICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY This analysis is the result of analyzing data obtained in the course of several years at the department of facultative therapy of the Moscow M~edical Stomatological Institute.

The destructive factors of nuclear weapons are the shock wave, light radiation and penetrating radiation. They have a short-term . effect, while in contrast, the radioactive contamination can create a threat of injury to people on a vast territory for a long time. As a result of the test explosion about 15 MT in power made by the United States in the Pacific Ocean on the Bikini atoll on 1 March 1954, strong radioactive contami- nation was observed in a band extending over 530 km and 100 km wide. Several islands located to the east of the test site, and the Japanese fishing vessel 59 ~ FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/49: CIA-RDP82-00850R040400030014-9 - FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY . the "Lucky Dragon" that was 160 km from the explosion site were exposed to radio- active contamination. The residents of the islands received a radiation dose from 14 to 175 R*. Radiation injuries to the skin integuments and changes in the blood _ composition were observed in many of them. As a result of radioactive dust fallout on the fishing vessel, all 23 crew members received a radiation dose of about 200 R and experienced radiation sickness. One person died from it. If the ship command had not washed the radioactive fallout overboard after it fell, the consequences of the irradiation could have been even more serious for the people. - Different countries have currently accumulated a large quantity of nuclear ammunition. Their mass application in case of the outbreak of a nuclear war will entail radio- - active contamination of vast territories. As one of the destructive factors of nuclear weapons, radioactive contamination can cause an increase in losses among th~,personnel of nonmilitarized formations of - civil defense (CD)** and the population, and create difficulties in guaranteeing the - stable operation of many branches of industry and agriculture in wartime. One should note that it is possible for radioactive substances to enter the environ- ment in peacetime as well. Each year the quantity of radioactive ma~cerials used in different branches of science and technology rises. Thousands of scientific res~arch institutes, nuclear power engineering enterprises and laboratories in different countries currently employ radioactive substances. These substances are produced, transported, used, and in the final analysis, destroyed in the form of wastes. At each stage the possibility is not excluded of a mishap or ~accident that could create a contamination danger for the service personnel. As the result of an accident, as a rule, such vast zones of radioactive contamination are not created as during explosions of nuclear ammunition. But the danger of contamination of people from this is no less. This dangex can be eliminated or re- duced by a set of ineasures for elimination of the consequences of radioactive con- _ tamination that are taken by the forces and resources of civil defense and the popu- lation. These measures include: observance by people of the permissible irradiation doses, decontamination of contaminated objects, reduction in the entrance of radio- active substances into the human body, prevention of radiation in~uries to skin integuments of people, use of preventi~ve resources and treatment of the contaminated, and increase in the psychological stability of the personnel in the formations and the population as a whole. It is stipulated that these measures be implemented in a unified complex, simultane- ously. Only then can conditions be created for effective protection of people who are in the zones of radioactive contamination, and for the seable operation of the national economic facilities. Comprehensive conducting of ineasures to eliminate the consequences of radioactive contamination is anly possible with.the organi2ation of advance training and equipping of the forces and resources of civil defense with - the means of protection, i;~struments and equipment. This requirement can refer, in the first place, to decontamination measures. Even when they are conducted in a differentiated manner, they require the fulfillment of considerable volumes of work with the involvement of formations and the population. *1 R=2.58�10-4C/kg - **Instead of "nonmilitarized civil defense formations" we ~bi11 further use "forma- tions." 60 ~ fLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2047/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000404030014-9 Thanks to the enormous efforts of the Soviet government, in August 1963 the Moscow agreement on banning tests of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere, outer space _ and underwater was concluded. Later, agree~nents were concluded between the USSR and the United States on limiting undergroundtests of nuclear weapons and surface nuclear explosions for peaceful purposes. All of these agreements laid a good foun- dation for complete resolution of the problem of banning all tests of nuclear weapons. The specific draft of such an agreement was developed by the Soviet Union and presented for examination of the United Nations in 1975. The Soviet initiative on concluding an agreement about the complete and universal banning of nuclear weapon tests met with approval in the United Nations by many states: almost 100 delegations voted for the USSR's suggestion. The Soviet suggestion, however, was not supported by the other nuclear powers. The Soviet Union is making great efforts to eliminate the danger of nuclear weapon usage and to solve the problems of nuclear nonproliferation. However, the problem has not yet been solved of complete banning of nuclear weapons and elimination of all the accumulated reserves of these weapons. The danger of outbreak of a nuclear war has not diminished. The threat of contaminating enormous territories with nuclear radioactive substance has conseqt;ently not been eliminated. One should now, in peacetime, learn to eliminate the consequences of radioactive contamination in the diverse, at times very complicated situation that can be formed _ in the contamination zones. This is necessary for both the specialists of the CD services, the commanders and fighters of the formations, and the population. It is required that all the individuals who are in the zones of radioactive contamina- tion know the most general information about the nature of contam~nation of different facilities, the properties of radioactive substances, and practical recommendations on decontamination questions so that each at his place could _ skilfully fulfill his duties for protecting himself, his family and industry from the consequences of radioactive contamination. These requirements determine the ~ selection of the materials for this book and its arrangement. Chapter 1 briefly examines the features of radioactive contamination of environmental objects and its consequences for man. We intend to aquaint the reader with these questions in order to help him to have a greater understanding in evaluating the need to fulfill a whole series of requj.rements included in the measures for elimi- nation o� the consequences of radioactive contamination. Chapter 2 presents the fundamentals for elimination of the consequences of radio- - active contamination. It relates the main measures that need to be taken in order te prevent or reduce losses in the zones of radioactive contamination. Chapter 3 covers a description af the decontaminating substances and solutions, - special and national economic resources for special treatment and decontamination of territories and structures. . Chapter 4 examines questions of preparing and conducting decontamination measures. General recommendations are made to determine the possible volumes of work for decon- taminating territories in cities and the sequence for conducting them. Method recommendations are made for conducting studies of the clothes~ decontamination station personnel on the subject "Actions of Formations of Antiradiation and Anti- chemical Protection to Eliminate Consequences of the Enemy's Use of Weapons of Mass 61 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 - FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY Contaminatioti." The technique for organizing and conducting these studies is mainly valid for other formations of antiradiation and antichemical ~rotection that are set up on the basis of stationary institutions of general services for the population. The order is indicated for conducting the decontamination work by the decontamination co~nand at different facil~~ies in the focus of contamination and outside it. Chapter 5 and the subsequent chapters present detailed practical recommendations for the fulfillment of specific measures of sanitary treatment of people, decontami- nation of food, transportation, territories, food and water.

There is discussion of the patterns of formation and elimination of ammonia, acetone, carbon monoxide and hydrogen peroxide after acute and chronic irradiation. Information is furnished _ about the modifying effects of radioprotective and radiosensitizing agents on formation and elimination of inetabolic products in the presence of radiation lesions. _ This book is intended for radiobiologists, toxicologists, as well as specialists in allied professions, concerned with the problem of studying the end products of inetabolism. There are 25 tables, 16 figures; bibliographq lists 549 items. - Introduction The study of inetabolic disturbances in the presence of radiation lesions is a large and difficult problem. We deal with only one of the aspects of this problem, which is related to investigation of elimination of mainly gaseous metabolic pro~ucts from the irradiated organism. = Refinement of inethods of analytical chemistry, development of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry made it possible to determine that man eliminates hundreds of chemicals in gas form, both organic and inorganic, into the environment j9]. Some of these gases are formed as a result of bacterial activity. Most of them, however, are referable to the end products of inetabolism. In the presence of pathological states, including radiation lesions, there is a substantial change in quantitative and qualitative composition of these products. Studies of these changes yield data on the nature of disturbances of inetabolic processes related to formation of some metabolite or other. It is also quite important that . these studies were as sparing [conservative] as possible; they were not associated with the painful procedures of taking blood or tissue biopsies. ~ 63 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400030014-9 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/42/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000400034414-9 FOR OFFiCiA,L USE ONLY The study of elimination of gaseous metabolic products in the presence of radia- tion lesions varying in severity is also of substantial importance for hygienic evaluation of the artificial atmosphere of manned pressurized qu~rters. We discussed this problem as it relates to long-term space missions in a special study dealing with toxicology of waste products and their role in forming the a~'tificial atmosphere of pressurized [sealed] quarters [28]. It was demonstrated that some factors of space flight can modify elimination of gaseous waste products. Ionizing radiation is among the most important factors of space flights j18, 45]. A summary of the literature and our own experimental findings on the effects of ionizing radiation on elimination of gaseous metabolic products constituted the contents of this book. W2 only discussed a few of the many compounds contained in waste gases, the ones with the most significance to hygiene. In addition to information about the nature of effects of acute and chronic radi- ation on formation and elimination of waste products, this book submits data on changes in these processes when radiation lesions are modified by means of some radioprotective and radiosensitizing agents.
