Resumen |
The 2nd article in this series (see CIS 76-2091 for Part 1) begins with an examination of Soviet concepts originally based on Pavlov, leading to the Soviet proposition that autonomic ("neurovegetative") changes are manifestations of toxicity. Neurophysiological testing methods in the USSR (observational techniques, unconditioned reflex behaviour, conditioned reflex behaviour) are outlined and discussed. The article concludes with a synthesis of the Soviet view of early neurological behaviour as caused by chemical agents. Part 3 describes in detail the methods in use in the USSR to establish MAC values; methods of approximation; extrapolation from a series of homologous compounds; acute experimental data; equations used for inorganic compounds, organic compounds, etc.; subacute and chronic experimental data; calculation of factors expressing accumulative toxicity. |
