The paper presents the results of studies on methane fermentation of chicken manure. The study was conducted in a reactor with effective volume of 3 liters, working in semicontinuous mode. Hydraulic retention time was 10 days, and total solids content of substrate — 10 %. The temperature was maintained at 50 °C. The content of the reactor was mixed with a mechanical stirrer with rotation frequency 38.4 rpm. for 15 minutes every hour. Methane fermentation took place with an average pH of 8.1, the concentration of ammonium nitrogen — 3880 mg/l and free ammonia — 1035 mg/l. As a result of microbial community adaptation to high concentration of ammonia nitrogen, the production of 2.62 l/l (262 ml/g TS) biogas with methane content of 58 % was achieved.

Purpose: assessment the heavy psychosomatic and all-somatic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular pathology of patient, transferred an acute I degree radiation sickness, from the general evenly gamma-beta radiation. Conclusions. The subdepressive and disturbing-depressive syndrome of patient, transferred an acute radiation sickness (ARS) of I degree, from the general evenly gamma-beta radiation, was independent risk factor of development of multifocal atherosclerosis; Features of development of all-somatic and psychosomatic pathology of patient are based on a combination of genetic prerequisites, environment influences (the stress caused by accident on the ChNPP) and social factors, influencing on him during a course of life, especially during early socialization. Thus at development of psychosomatic frustration the combination of feature of the mental reaction connected with the personal characteristic and special relationship between mental (stress) and physiological (somatic) by aspects of reaction which led to metabolism violation, to aging, decrease in adaptation opportunities of an organism and development age — dependent pathology took place.

Aim: clinical psychophysiological assessment of social and psychophysiological adaptation of the patient with the remote effect of the III degree acute radiation syndrome, with local radiation injuries of heavy degree from the extremely uneven gamma and neutron radiation with the subsequent amputation of both feet at level in top / 3 shins, according to feature of its individual mental adaptation and the periods of its mental adaptation stages. Material and methods. The object of the research was a patient (born in 1939) who worked as an engineer in the National Research Centre (NRC "Kurchatov Institute") from 1963 to 2010, the senior researcher. Psychophysiological inspection of the patient had been organized according to the MMPI test, Kettell's test, Raven in 30 years after radiation accident (1971) in dynamics in 2001, 2002, 2006, 2009 with the use of the automated program and methodical Expert complex intended for research of the properties, cognitive and intellectual features of the personality. Results. Average profile of multilateral research of the personality (MMPI) and the dynamics of indicators according to the years of supervision (2001-2009) points to a disharmonious combination of hypochondriac, disturbing and depressive and demonstrative tendencies to prevalence of a demonstration, as firmness manifestation before a heavy illness at the patient after the III degree acute radiation sickness, and local radiation injuries of heavy degree from the extremely uneven gamma and neutron radiation, am- putation of both shins at level in top / 3, late beam buttock, right hip ulcers, a beam cataract of the III degree of both eyes, stabilized. The assessment of the efficiency of psychophysiological adaptation in dynamics with 2009 indicates emergence of prevalence of hypochondriac tendencies over a demonstration with accession of high uneasiness and autistic lines at preservation of the leading role of an hypochondriac somatization of alarm with considerable decrease in an emotionality, an integration, a freedom of behavior. The changes revealed in dynamics correspond to the specific increase weight of violations of mental adaptation, characteristic for the period of adaptation exhaustion. The high intelligence, good figurative and logical thinking, well-mannered forms of behavior, high control over the emotional sphere, restraint of emotions, independence, self-sufficiency, organization, behavior taking into account environment requirements provided the patient M. firmness before a heavy illness, promoted good adaptation to an environment with confidence in myself, high social adaptability, opportunity successfully to carry out duties, hold the work account (worked 39 years after accident). Comparative assessment of operator ability of the patient M. showed good average time of common and difficult sensorimotor reactions with 2 mistakes, high time of reaction for moving object, however decrease in accuracy of reaction from 10-13% to 2% testifies to manifestation in dynamics of insufficiency of real functional reserves of nervous system. Conclusions. Efficiency of psychophysiological adaptation depends not only on a dose of radiation and weight of the transferred disease, but, mostly, on premorbid properties of the identity of the victim and his social and labor installation.

Long-term researches of lithophagy phenomenon amongst herbivorous animals (most of them took place in the Sikhote-Alin mountains, the Russian Far East) and also analysis of the material devoted to studying medical and biological properties of natural minerals which are consumed by animals allow us to make a conclusion that lithophagy phenomenon in all its diversity could be explained as instinctive wish of the organism to correct the material constitution and functions of its systems with the help of natural minerals which can be violated under the influence of different unfavorable environmental stress-factors. The possibility of this correction can be explained by similar properties which a lot of hypergene minerals have, concerning regulation of biological, physiological and energetic processes in living organisms. Ecological consequences coming from the concept of lithophagial instinct are shown on the example of the Sikhote-Alin mountain taiga landscape.

Studies of the diving reflex in comparative evolutionary terms have shown that a complex of reactions providing the oxygen-saving effect during diving is inherent in human as well as in the secondary-aquatic mammals. This is confirmed by study of peculiarities of energy metabolism the simulated diving (it is the breath holding with face immersed into the cold water—what we call the cold-hypoxic-hypercapnic effect, CHE). Data of gas analysis have shown that the oxygen consumption rate during the diving imitation is statistically significantly lower than during the usual expiration delay (Genche’s test). We have revealed that under effect of adaptation to CHE, on the background of a reduction of the total energy consumption by the organism there occurs a slight increase in contribution of aerobic processes to its energy supply. Adaptation to CHE has been shown to be accompanied by a decrease in reactivity of the parasympathetic chain of regulation of the heart chronotropic function and by an increase of duration of apnea. The apnea duration is directly correlated with level of insulin—the hormone stimulating activity of the anaerobic energy pathway provision. Under effect of adaptation to CHE there has been established an increase of the organism resistance to stress actions, which is confirmed by the lower levels of cortisol and thyroid hormones in representatives of the experimental group as compared with the control one.
