10. YSMU Scientific-Research Center The specialized scientific department, Central Scientific Research Laboratory (CSRL) was established in 1964. In 1992 the CSRL was re-arranged as the Scientific-Research Center (SRC) that currently functions as an independent subdivision. Laboratory of Morphological Research, Laboratory of Immune-enzyme Research, Laboratory of Biochemical and Biophysical Research, Laboratory of Epidemiological Research, Environmental Quality and Delayed Effects.

11. Performed In Models acute and chronic stress caused by various provoking factors, hypokinesis, acute destructive pancreatitis, acute intestinal insufficiency, crash-syndrome, neurodegeneration, purulent wounds.

12. Special Studies Address Aspects Of Immunopathogenesis rheumatoid arthritis, idiopathic dilation cardiomyopathy, teeth- and parodontal complex diseases, anterior chamber associated immune deviation (ACAID).

13. Laboratory of Morphological Research Biological significance of bacterial translocation process in the integrative activity of the organism in norm and in a process of general adaptive syndrome formation

14. Laboratory of Immune-enzyme Research The collaborative research embraces issues relevant to the role 0f hormones (melatonin, insulin-like growth factor, prolactin, somatotropin); hormones of endocrine secretion peripheral glands (cortisol, parathyroid hormone, insulin, testosterone, progesterone, estradiol); cytokines (TNFα,β, interleukin –I, II and VI, γ-interferon, fibronectin; of GABa-ergic system in norm and in case of numerous extreme conditions

15. Laboratory of Biochemical and Biophysical Research Biological mechanisms of action exerted by electrostatic fields are studied at different levels of biomaterial organization The research is aimed to reveal the influence of electrostatic fields to the main oxygen-dependent processes: oxidation-reduction reactions in tissues, structure-functional state of mitochondria, processes of lipid peroxidation, oxygen utilization by the endoplasmic reticulum

16. The Laboratory of Epidemiological Research, Environmental Quality and Delayed Effects Study on the state of the environment with the help of genetically sensitive test-systems and investigation on genetic changes in wild plants Cytogenetic studies for determination of spontaneous levels of micro nuclei in exfoliative cells of oral cavity mucous membrane (micronucleus test) Working-out preventive actions for human health protection in rural and urban population based on the obtained results in order to provide information to appropriate concerned and control organizations

17. The Laboratory of Epidemiological Research, Environmental Qualityand Delayed Effects Monitoring on persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in certain environmental media (air, soil, water) and bio-media (breast milk) Sanitary hygienic and toxicological assessment/evaluation of goods and means made of polymer and other synthetic materials, which over-flooded the country market Investigation on delayed effects (infertility, complications of pregnancy and delivery, etc.) and physical development indices in newborns of the studied group
