Dermatology in the Soviet Union. A VISIT TO THE SKIN AND VENEREAL DISEASES DEPARTMENT, THE FIRST MOSCOW MEDICAL INSTITUTE (NAMED AFTER SECHENOV)

Irina Vitalevna Zaikonnikova is a well-known Soviet pharmacologist, headed the Department of Pharmacology of the Kazan State Medical Institute between 1968 and 1989. The topic of I.V. Zaikonnikovas Ph.D. thesis was The influence of dikain on blood vessels and its relationship with adrenaline. In her dissertation, Irina Vitalievna found that dicaine dilates blood vessels in low concentrations and causes their constriction in high concentrations. The thesis was successfully defended in 1947. In the 50s of the last century in Kazan, for the first time in the Soviet Union, the study of the biological activity of organophosphorus compounds was begun. A large experimental material concerning the correlation between the biological activity and chemical structure of compounds was summarized in his doctoral dissertation Pharmacological characteristics of a number of dialkylphosphinic acid esters, which I.V. Zaikonnikova defended in 1968. At the Department of Pharmacology, which she headed since 1968, a close-knit team was formed, united by a common interest the search and development of new potential drugs. This major work resulted in the creation of cidiphos, glycifon, phosphabenzide, and dimephosphon organophosphorus compounds of a new type, which mechanism of action is not associated with inhibition of the activity of acetylcholinesterase. In addition, drugs that did not belong to organophosphates were created the daytime tranquilizer mebikar, a regeneration stimulator with the immunomodulatory effect of xymedon. At present, the Department of Pharmacology of Kazan State Medical University continues the scientific traditions of our outstanding predecessors.

History Of

Article focuses on the role of Kazan scientists in the development and foundation of a number of departments of Arkhangelsk State Medical Institute, founded in 1932. The teaching staff for the most northern institution for higher medical education in the country was recruited from all over the Soviet Union. Founders and first heads of departments were the representatives of major scientific schools and leading universities, including the Kazan University/Kazan Medical Institute. Highly qualified specialists, scientists and healthcare managers with extensive experience played an important role in the development of healthcare in the European North of Russia. One of the first scientists of Kazan, who arrived at Arkhangelsk State Medical Institute, was psychiatrist I.N. Zhilin, whose activities are immortalized in the history of the department and the psychiatric hospital. Next Kazan representative, A.I. Labbok - anatomist, surgeon, doctor of sciences, professor, founder and first head of the department of operative surgery and topographic anatomy of the Institute. Surgeon A.A. Vechtomov became a professor and head of the Department of General Surgery, the head of the clinic, where during the Great Patriotic War the wounded from the Karelian Front and the Northern Fleet were treated. The founder of the Department of Pediatrics at Arkhangelsk State Medical Institute - Professor Yu.V. Makarov, came to Arkhangelsk from Kazan and his wife, G.A. Khayn-Makarova, who contributed much to military pediatrics. They were succeeded by associate professor A.G. Suvorov, who raised a galaxy of eminent pediatricians. Research of the data on many of Kazan scientists are still ongoing at the museum complex of the Northern State Medical University.

The Town

Svistelin Dmitry Pavlovich was born on November 27, 1923 in the town Seredina-Buda in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. During the Great Patriotic War, he served in the 164th Tank Brigade of the 16th Tank Corps, which took part in the Battle of Kursk. In one of the battles, Dmitry Pavlovich was severely wounded, but after the Victory of the Soviet Union he found the strength and entered the medical faculty of the Lviv State Medical Institute and graduated form it in 1951. Subsequently, Dmitry Pavlovich came to Smolensk, where he became a postgraduate at the Department of Pathological Anatomy of the Smolensk State Medical Institute. From that moment he paid his debt to the Motherland already as a doctor being the head of the pathological department of the Smolensk Regional Psychiatric Hospital. Subsequently, Dmitry Pavlovich began to teach at the Department of Pathological Anatomy and became interested in scientific activities under the guidance of Professor Vladimir Gerasimovich Molotkov, who later guided him for both his candidates and doctoral dissertations. Having achieved a great success in the pathological anatomy and becoming a professor, Dmitry Pavlovich decided to return to practice again. In 1996, he shifted to the post of pathologist in the expert-organizational-advisory department of the Smolensk Regional Institute of Pathology, which even today bears his name due to his outstanding work both for pathological anatomy in general and for Smolensk medicine. For services to the Motherland both as a defender of the Fatherland and as a doctor, Dmitry Pavlovich Svistelin has such awards as the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd degree, as well as the badge Excellence in Public Health. On June 16, 2006, at the age of 82, Professor Dmitry Pavlovich Svistelin passed away and was buried at the New Cemetery in Smolensk.

The Soviet Union

The main condition for the suitability of a nutrient medium for growing microbes is the presence of protein substances in it. Research thought so far has been in the direction of replacing animal protein with vegetable protein. We see this in a large number of German recipes, the so-called. Ersaznhrbden (surrogate environments). In order to find the most complete replacement of animal proteins in bacteriological nutrient media, the composition of many nutrients was determined in detail. Soy proteins turned out to be the closest in composition to animal proteins. Since soybeans are not widespread in all regions of the Soviet Union, Russian researchers had to look for other sources of raw materials, more accessible than soybeans. The Scientific Medical Institute proposed nutrient media from peas. But, apparently, these media are not always suitable (Calc), if only in view of the limited number of generations obtained for the p-p of some pathogenic bacteria (bang. Shiga dysentery), the absence of pigment formation (miraculous rod).
