Increase in the level of adaptive capacity of oral cavity organs to the prosthodontic treatment of patients with completely absent dentition is one of the urgent problems of modern dentistry. In order to increase the level of adaptability to complete removable laminar dentures, a set of standard samples according to H. Landt was used to test the ability for precise coordination of masticatory muscles – the MA-test (Muscular-Ability) as a means of a group of muscles stimulation providing precise coordination of masticatory muscles. This adaptation process was called MA-stimulation. The level of adaptive capacity of the oral cavity organs was studied using oral stereognosis. The criteria for oral stereognosis assessment included the average time of one sample determination (sec) and the correctness of the samples determination (%). In order to achieve the objective, we conducted a study of tactile sensitivity in the oral cavity using oral stereognosis in 90 patients with completely absent dentition who applied for the prosthodontic retreatment. The patients’ age ranged from 45 to 89 years. The patients were divided into two groups. Group I included 30 patients who underwent the prosthodontic treatment without preliminary MA-stimulation. Group II included 60 patients who underwent MA-stimulation for 14 days before the prosthodontic treatment. According to the results of oral stereognosis in Group II of patients, the average time of one sample determination after fourteen days of MA-stimulation decreased by 24.5% (p˂0.05) and the index of correctness of the samples determination increased by 32.0% (р˂0.001); the average time of one sample determination decreased by another 19.3% in 1 month after the prosthodontic treatment, and it decreased by 17.4% (р˂0.05) in 3 months after the prosthodontic treatment; the index of the correctness of the samples determination increased by 17.5% (p˂0.001) and 10.5% (p˂0.01) respectively in 1 and 3 months after the prosthodontic treatment. Oral stereognosis indices changed significantly only in 1 month after the prosthodontic treatment in Group I of patients who did not undergo MA-stimulation: the average time of one sample determination decreased only by 14.7% (p˂0.05), and the index of correctness of the samples determination increased only by 24.5 (p˂0.05). According to the results of the research, MA-stimulation is advisable to be included into the prosthodontic treatment of the patients with completely absent dentition as a means of increasing the adaptive capacity of the oral organs.

Abstract. The generation effect (i.e., better recall of the generated items than the read items) was investigated with a between-list design in young and elderly participants. The generation task difficulty was manipulated by varying the strength of association between cues and targets. Overall, strong associates were better recalled than weak associates. However, the results showed different generation effect patterns according to strength of association and age, with a greater generation effect for weak associates in younger adults only. These findings suggest that generating weak associates leads to more elaborated encoding, but that elderly adults cannot use this elaborated encoding as well as younger adults to recall the target words at test.

Aim and Objective: The late transition metal complexes with five-membered heterocyclic mono-imine ligands have attracted much attention because of their potential application in olefin polymerization catalysis. In order to increase the coordination ability of heteroatom N and S to center metals, CH3 group was introduced into the side arm of pyrrole imine and thiophene imine respectively, to get two series of novel five-membered heterocyclic imine compounds, mono(imino)pyrroles and mono(imino)thiophenes Materials and Methods: Two series of novel five-membered heterocyclic compounds with the mono-imine group were synthesized from the p-toluene sulfonic acid catalyzed Schiff base condensation of aromatic amines and 2-acetylpyrrole/ 2-acetylthiophene respectively, using CH3 group to substitute the common H atom on the side arm of pyrrole imine/ thiophene imine. Results: All the heterocyclic mono-imine compounds were characterized adequately by means of 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, elementary analysis, as well as X-ray crystallographic diffraction. The reactivity differences between two precursor 2-acetylpyrrole and 2-acetylthiophene with aromatic amines were compared and discussed in detail. Conclusion: Compared to traditional heating methods, the solvent-free microwave irradiation seemed more efficient to prepare these series of five-membered heterocyclic mono-imine compounds, which resulted in a higher yield and cleaner product.
