Patients with acute vestibular lesions at the central level of vestibular disorders showed a significant increase of prolactin concentrations that was higher than the concentrations in patients with the peripheral vestibular syndrome at the decompensation stage. Hyperprolactinemia during central vestibular dysfunction is viewed as a manifestation of dopamine deficiency of the tuberoinfundibular area.

The most important parameters of pathogenicity typical of the basic representatives of pathogenic microflora were DNA and/or RNA forming activity. The \"critical\" size of depolymerization zones of nucleic acids on dense nutrient media was found to be equal to 2 mm and greater from the colony edge. The critical size was shown to be significantly different in potentially pathogenic and normal intestinal microorganisms. Maximal microbial concentrations in the major biotopes of man were estimated to be: no more than 25%, 5% and 2% for nasal mucosa, back skin, and for the large intestine of the total amount of microorganism in the test.
