This book summarizes the theoretical and experimental studies confirming the concept of the liquid-crystalline nature of boundary lubrication in synovial joints. It is shown that cholesteric liquid crystals in the synovial liquid play a significant role in the mechanism of intra-articular friction reduction. The results of structural, rheological and tribological research of the creation of artificial synovial liquids containing cholesteric liquid crystals in natural synovial liquids are described. These liquid crystals reproduce the lubrication properties of natural synovia and provide a high chondroprotective efficiency. They were tested in osteoarthritis models and in clinical practice.

V knige predstavleny dannye o kliniko-funktsional'nykh i patogeneticheskikh osobennostyakh arterial'noy gipertenzii u bol'nykh s razlichnym sutochnym profilem arterial'nogo davleniya, prozhivayushchikh v usloviyakh Tyumenskogo severa (g. Megion) i Respubliki Sakha (Yakutiya). Osoboe vnimanie udeleno vzaimosvyazyam sutochnykh pokazateley gemodinamiki u bol'nykh arterial'noy gipertenziey so stepen'yu progressirovaniya gipertrofii miokarda levogo zheludochka, giperkholesterinemiey, vyyavlyaemymi narusheniyami uglevodnogo obmena. Privedeny dannye mnogofaktornogo analiza vozmozhnogo vliyaniya osobennostey geofizicheskikh faktorov Severa na funktsional'noe sostoyanie serdechno-sosudistoy sistemy u bol'nykh arterial'noy gipertenziey. Predstavleny rekomendatsii po primeneniyu sutochnogo monitorirovaniya arterial'nogo davleniya v diagnostike kardiovaskulyarnoy patologii u prishlykh zhiteley Severa, ucheta etikh dannykh pri professional'nom otbore dlya raboty v usloviyakh severa Sibirskogo regiona. Monografiya predstavlyaet interes dlya terapevtov, kardiologov, ekologov, sotrudnikov nauchno-issledovatel'skikh institutov, studentov meditsinskikh i biologicheskikh vuzov.
