Abstract

UNLABELLED: THE AIM OF THE RESEARCH: increase of efficiency of urolith in vitro solution using water Blemaren medication solutions after their exposure to 2 Hz alternating magnetic field. MATERIALS AND METHODS: water solution of Blemaren medication with pH=6,15 in concentrations corresponding to single portion of medication (1 tablet m=3,5282 g per 250 ml of water) and uroliths (oxalates, urates including uncommon xanthine calculi). Composition of calculi was determined by means of X-ray tests and IR spectroscopy. Photometry of Blemaren with saluted portion of calculi was conducted. RESULTS: it was established that in the Blemaren solutions which had been previously exposed to 2 Hz alternating magnetic filed during one hour the solution process is 1.92 - 2 times more effective than in common water solutions. Discussion - in control solutions pH values increased 5.65 - 6.8 times in the course of time, whereas in the Blemaren solutions exposed to alternating magnetic field pH values remained virtually unaltered during the whole experiment. CONCLUSION: there were detected significant differences in pH values of Blemaren solutions and its solvent properties between solutions which were exposed to alternating magnetic filed and those which were not.
