English Universities

All English universities except Oxford and Cambridge are fairly new London University is the biggest of the modern universities and has many colleges and schools Oxford has 32 colleges A large college has about 5000 students about a hundred students study at a small college The college is an educational institution giving special instruction in certain subjects There are many types of colleges in England There are colleges within universities There are also technical colleges of various types colleges of arts and commerce Medical colleges are among them The college may be independent in its own affairs but is a part of the university in some matters The university gives the highest type of education It comprises a number of colleges and provides programmes for study and research beyond the college level The university is an administrative center which arranges lectures for all the students of the colleges holds examinations and gives degrees University teaching combines lectures practical classes and small group teaching in either seminars or tutorials the last being a traditional feature of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge A university usually has both faculties and departments The faculties are arts law medicine science The departments include engineering economics commerce agriculture music and technology At the head of each faculty there is a professor The staff of teachers called lecturers helps him Professors and lecturers deliver lectures to a large number of students or study with small groups All universities admit men and women but within some universities there are colleges especially for students of one sex Most of the universities provide hostels for their students

All the universities and colleges are independent self-governing institutions although they receive substantial aid from the state through the University Grants Committee The local education authorities have no responsibility for universities English universities greatly differ from each other They differ in date of foundation history traditions general

28

organization internal government methods of teaching ways of students life size etc On the whole British universities are comparatively small The approximate number is 7000-8000 students most universities having 3000 and some even less than 1500 students

The most ancient English universities are Cambridge and Oxford They date back to the 12-13th centuries and have always been universities for gentlemen Other universities are called modern or provincial They are located in large centers of industry There are no tutorial systems there These universities rely on lectures All universities charge fees which are rather high

Notes aid = assistance help tutorials = the system of individual training to charge fees = to get money for education

Exercise 1 Give Russian equivalents to the following word combinationsfairly new science faculty at the head of a staff of teachers to admit men and women within some universities to provide hostels an independent college self-governing institution substantial aid the local education authorities internal government tutorial system to charge fees

Exercise 2 Answer the questions to the text1 What is London University composed of2 Does university have faculties or departments3 What are faculties in English universities4 What do the departments include5 What do most universities provide for their students6 Are there many types of colleges in England7 What kinds of colleges are there in England8 In what do English Universities differ9 What is the number of students at British Universities10 How are other universities called11 What methods does university teaching combine

Exercise 3 Compare the organization of VSMU and that of English Universities indicating the main differences and similarities in their structural units and organization of educational process

29

Exercise 4 Read the following text and discuss it with your groupmates using as much information from the text as you can

The oldest and most famous universities in England are Oxford and Cambridge Oxford University was established in 1249 The choice of the small rural village of Oxford as a seat of learning was significant Far removed (неподверженный) from foreign influence Oxford was within comparatively easy reach of all parts of England Like London it is international because people from many parts of the world come to study at one of the twenty seven menrsquos colleges or at one of the five womenrsquos colleges that are the university They join the university ldquofamilyrdquo that has more than 9000 members The present facilities at Oxford include theology law English language and literature history humanities (гуманитарные дисциплины) social studies medicine physical and chemical science biological science

The first college at Cambridge Peterhouse was founded in 1284 and now there are twenty-four colleges A number of well-known scientists and writers among them Newton Darwin and Byron were educated in Cambridge

The organization system of the two universities differs from that of all other universities and colleges

The teachers are commonly called ldquodonsrdquo Part of the teaching is by means of lectures organized by the university Apart from lectures teaching is carried out by tutorial system for which these two universities have always been famous This is a system of individual tuition (обучение) organized by the colleges Each student goes to his tutorrsquos room once a week to read and discuss an essay which the student has prepared

Oxford and Cambridge are rather far from London and other large cities Therefore the students have to live in the university hostel or in a private room and the rent is very high Besides special fees are taken for books for laboratory work teaching aids etc Some students get scholarship but the number of these students is comparatively small

Pharmaceutical Education in Great Britain

The history of pharmaceutical education has closely followed that of medical education As the training of the physician underwent changes from the apprenticeship system to formal educational courses so did the training of the pharmacist The first pharmaceutical colleges in Great Britain were founded at the beginning of the nineteenth century

The course of instruction leading to a degree in pharmacy was extended from four to five years in 1960 The first and frequently the second year of training embracing general education subjects are often provided by a school of arts and sciences Many institutions in addition offer graduate courses in pharmacy and cognate sciences leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in pharmacy pharmacology or related disciplines These advanced courses are intended especially for those who are preparing for careers in research manufacturing or teaching in the field of pharmacy

Several schools of pharmacy have now adopted a six-year professional course leading to the degree of Doctor of Pharmacy This professional training includes many subjects common to the medical curriculum and involves training in hospital wards In this service a professionally trained pharmacist is expected to give advice to the physician in the techniques of administering medication and possible interaction of drugs in the patient along with expected side effectsSince the treatment of the sick with drugs encompasses a wide field of knowledge in the biological and physical sciences it is obvious that understanding of these sciences is necessary for adequate pharmaceutical training The basic five-year curriculum in British colleges of pharmacy embraces physics chemistry biology bacteriology physiology pharmacology and many other specialized courses such as dispensing pharmacy As the pharmacist is engaged in business as well special training is provided in merchandising accounting computer techniques and pharmaceutical jurisprudence All other countries requiring licenses to practice offer the same basic curriculum with minor variations

Before one is permitted to practice pharmacy in Great Britain as well as in other countries in which a license is required an applicant must be qualified by graduation from a recognized college of pharmacy meet specific requirements for experience and pass an examination conducted by a board of pharmacy appointed by the government The passing of this board examination carries with it the legal right to practise pharmacy The holder is then designated a registered or licensed pharmacist

THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHARMACY

Pharmacy is defined as the art and science of recognizing identifying collecting selecting preparing storing testing compounding and dispensing all substances used in preventive or in curative medicine for treating people The word ldquopharmacyrdquo comes from the Greek word pharmakon which in the modern language means ldquoa drugrdquo To the Greeks it was associated with a god or higher being who had the power of affecting people with herbs infusions etc

Pharmacy was born in old time when human being started to search for remedies for treatment of the ailments First pharmacies in Europe appeared in 1100 in monasteries Monks prepared remedies and supplied them to all needy free of charge At the same time first prescriptions were created and they were started with the words ldquoGood luckrdquo 100 years later first city pharmacies were opened in Venice Specialists for those pharmacies were prepared in accordance to widely acceptable methods of those times pupil ndash apprentice ndash master This preparation chain took 10-15 years (depending on the abilities of each person) The monks created schools and laboratories in monasteries The earliest ever found Pharmacopoeia Articles for different medicines were created by monasteries scientists But Monkrsquos schools were unable to reach scientific opportunities proposed by popular universities in Oxford Salamanca Prague and other European cities So peak of prime of those universities fell on the 13-th century

Pharmacy as an independent branch of medicine was born in Europe in 1240 when the Emperor of Holy Rome separated pharmacy from medicine However there was no special pharmaceutical training at that time The duty of a pharmacist was to prepare and sell medicines and to help the doctor In Great Britain assistants to the physicians were called apothecaries

In the 15-th century first appeared the term ldquoprovisorrdquo (from Latin foreseeing predicting) that explains the importance of the role of the pharmacists in treatment process The doctor establishes diagnosis and the

58

pharmacist foresees the tendency of the disease and with the aid of proper medicines corrects and predetermines its course and further development First proper Pharmacopoeia was published in 1581 in Spain

Much time went till pharmacy became a profession and creation of special medical establishments were found necessary Hundreds of private schools were opened in Europe that often were headed or owned by the pharmacists

In 1623 the apothecaries opened a manufacturing laboratory which produced galenical preparations This was necessary in their opinion because the drugs sold were often adulterated The laboratory was a great success and by 1671 it developed into a real chemical plant The apothecaries had the right to dispense medicines

Practices of giving education to the pharmacists within Universities were first introduced in France and England at the beginning of the 19-th century The education was oriented on gaining knowledge and practical skills in manufacture and use of the medicines But later educational courses started to include more theoretical subjects It was connected to the fact that during following decades pharmacies gradually lost manufacturing functions and were more concentrated on sales of medicines and advice to the patients

In Russia pharmacy as a branch of science started its development since the decree of Peter I in the 18-th century According to the decree pharmacists got special training at the hospital chemistsrsquo and private chemistsrsquo Some of them had practice at the chemistsrsquo orchards (gardens) The pupils studied botany and had practice of pharmacy at the hospital chemistsrsquo At the end of their study they had an examination for the title of a pharmacist and chemist-assistant

Pharmacy is now made possible by organized pharmaceutical education pharmaceutical research and pharmaceutical industry

Part V Rendering

Read the following information and render it into English

ФАРМАЦЕВТИЧЕСКОЕ ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ В ИЗРАИЛЕ

60

На фармацевтов в Израиле учат всего в двух местах в Еврейском университете в Иерусалиме который считается главным в стране а также на факультете Беер-Шевского университета в Южном округе Израиля Поступить в университет очень сложно поступить на фармацевтический факультет ndash практически невозможно Люди закончившие школу сдают экзамен на аттестат зрелости (school-leaving certificate) Помимо этого есть некоторые предметы (математика физика химия биология и английский) которые можно изучать на повышенном уровне (advanced level) Также для поступления в израильский университет необходимо сдать единый (unified) экзамен ndash laquoпсихометриюraquo Она включает тест с вопросами общего характера из разных предметов школьной программы тест по математике английскому языку и грамматике иврита Для того чтобы поступить на фармацевта надо набрать 700 баллов по психометрии и иметь средний балл аттестата не менее 90-95 что является крайне жестким (stringent severe) критерием отбора Поэтому большинство израильтян едут учиться в Европу Лидерами по обучению молодых специалистов являются Каунас в Литве и Будапешт в Венгрии Как правило на фармацевта учатся 3-4 года (первая степень бакалавр) Уже с первой степенью по фармацевтике в Израиле можно работать фармацевтом что довольно необычно тк по другим специальностям надо отучиться как минимум на вторую степень магистра

Большинство фармацевтов получив степень бакалавра сразу же идут учиться на вторую степень подрабатывая на полставки (part-time job) Вторая степень выполняется в какой-либо лаборатории и связана с выполнением небольшой научной работы вроде того что у нас называется laquoписать дипломraquo Это занимает еще года два По закону любой фармацевт обязан получить лицензию (get a licence) на работу в Израиле по специальности Те кто оканчивают университет в Израиле сдают формальный экзамен Те кто учились за границей имеют возможность пройти специальный полугодичный курс организованный министерством здравоохранения Курс включает занятия по анатомии физиологии органической химии биохимии технологии а также английскому языку

КАК СТАТЬ АПТЕКАРЕМ В КАНАДЕ

Работу фармацевтов и продажу лекарств в Канаде контролирует Канадская фармацевтическая ассоциация Большинство фармацевтов Канады (80) работают в розничных (retail) аптеках Около 15 фармацевтов работают в госпитальных аптеках а остальные ndash в

61

фармакологических ассоциациях компаниях или консультационных фирмах Как правило для работы фармацевтом необходимо иметь диплом бакалавра фармацевтики одного из канадских университетов пройти практику в интернатуре или поработать в качестве практиканта непосредственно в аптеке а затем сдать национальный квалификационный экзамен В Канаде фармацевтов готовят в 9 университетах Программа обучения рассчитана на 4 года после этого студенты в течение года проходят практику в аптеке и далее следует 6 месяцев обучения в интернатуре В некоторых провинциях диплома бакалавра для работы в аптеке вполне достаточно и дальнейшее обучение уже не требуется

In the chemical laboratory

The chemical laboratory is a place where you can perform in actual the different reactions that you had learnt in the books or heard in lectures The students of the pharmaceutical faculty often have practical classes in chemistry in the chemical laboratory There they carry out various experiments work with different chemical substances

The chemical laboratory consists of several rooms a room for storing the necessary substances a room for recording the obtained findings and a room for washing laboratory vessels These rooms are large and light well ventilated because chemists often work with harmful substances that have a strong and unpleasant odor

A good chemical laboratory is fully equipped with the basic measuring and analytical apparatuses that allow a good study of all the branches of chemistry However all experiments should be performed under the supervision of the lab instructor only

The laboratory is equipped with special tables which are higher than usual ones On each of the tables one can see shelves and racks with

78

laboratory vessels and glassware of all kinds some of them are empty while others contain the reagents

The most widely used reagents which are available at every laboratory are acids (nitric sulphuric and hydrochloric) alkali (ammonium solution potassium solution sodium solution) oxides inorganic salts indicators (phenolphthalein methylene green)

Reagents which are used in large amounts are supplied in big boxes or bottles Reagents which are seldom used are supplied in amounts up to 10 or 11g or even less

The most common and widely used equipment is that made of glass With glassware it is easy to spot what is happening inside The laboratory vessels and glassware are divided into three groups glassware for general use glassware for special use and glassware for measuring Glassware for general use includes test-tubes funnels flasks of different shape and size retorts etc Special glassware includes things necessary for carrying out different analyses For example special vessels for determination of molecular weights for the determination of melting- and boiling-points etc The glassware for measuring includes graduated cylinders burettes graduated flasks measuring glasses pipettes and others Burettes are used for very accurate measurements of volumes as in volumetric analysis Volumetric flasks are used to measure specific volumes accurately especially for preparing solutions in quantitative analysis Pipettes provide a means for greatest accuracy in measuring volume Thermometers and pipettes are essential equipment for many chemistry laboratories There are the standard lab thermometers for traditional measurements or the digital instruments for very accurate and easy recording of temperature or pH level The simplest and most common of all is a liquid thermometer Mercury is a particularly suitable liquid because of its high boiling point ndash +35725degC and its low solidifying-point ndash -39degC The mercury thermometer is more accurate than the alcohol one Graduated pipettes allow for very accurate liquid measurements A balance is used to measure out small amounts of chemicals

Laboratory heating equipment is used to generate the heat required to effect a reaction or a separation The broad range of heating equipment can be divided into two broad categories steam-heated devices and electrically heated devices

There are many types of materials that are not basic but are not less important than basic They are called laboratory or lab accessories They may include pullout shelves lipped shelves laboratory stands clamps stopcocks or laboratory stoppers

The laboratory stands are used to hold test tubes beakers etc Laboratory clamps are used to hold the apparatus

The work in the chemical laboratory requires cleanliness It is necessary to keep the working place clean Glass tubes vessels bottles

79

funnels etc should be clean and ready for use It is recommended to close the glass bottles with glass caps to prevent their contamination from air

Exercise 1 Find the corresponding definitions1 test- tube a) a thing that burns or works by heat2 glassware b) a substance used to show the presence of another by

reaction3 funnel c) a glass tube closed at one end used in chemical

experiments4 reagent d) tools and instruments that help in performing and

improving the core function5 burner e) a thing that is used to hold test-tubes beakers6 accessories f) things made of glass7 stand g) a vessel wide and round at the top and narrowing to a

Exercise 8 Read the text ldquoTHERMOMETER SCALESrdquo and say1 What thermometer scales were established 2 Who proposed them 3 What was taken as limits 4 What limits are for each of the scales

THERMOMETER SCALES

The concept of temperature variation dates from antiquity although early measurements were based solely on the subjective sense of touch Touch is only capable of detecting temperature differences between objects it cannot provide quantitative temperature data For example you may be able to tell if a person has a fever by placing a hand on his forehead (лоб) but exactly how high is the fever That question requires quantitative data our senses can mislead us but a thermometer can give us that data Gabriel Fahrenheit (German 1686-1736) devised (придумывать изобретать) the Fahrenheit scale the oldest common temperature scale in about 1714 (Prior to this Galileo Galilei had invented an open tube thermometer in about 1593) One of Fahrenheit`s innovation was to use mercury (ртуть) which made the liquid column easy to see Previously people had had difficulty sealing mercury-containing tubes Fahrenheit established his temperature scale by selecting reference points (ориентиры) he could reproduce He designated (обозначать) a freezing ice-snow-salt-water mixture as 0degF because this was the lowest temperature he

82

could create in his workshop Several stories purport (иметь целью) to explain his selection of the reference point for 100degF my favorite is that he selected the body temperature of a cow a measurement that interested him and others in the agricultural community Starting with these primary reference points Fahrenheit determined values of 32degF for the freezing point and 212degF for the boiling point of water Anders Celsius (Swedish astronomer 1701-1744) developed a different thermometer scale in 1742 Celsius designated the freezing and boiling points of water as 0degC and 100degC respectively His scale was originally called the Сentigrade scale because centi means 1100th part and the reference points span 100 degrees The Celsius scale has been adopted worldwide and is the official metric temperature scale The third temperature scale was the invention of Englishman Lord Kelvin (born William Thompson 1824-1907) Lord Kelvin devised his scale in 1848 It is identical to the Celsius scale but all temperatures are 273 degrees higher Thus the freezing point of water is 273 degrees K the boiling point 373 degrees K This thermometer scale was derived from (устанавливать выводить) observation of gases

Exercise 9 Translate the following passage using a dictionary

The microscope

1 The most important single piece of apparatus in a laboratory is the microscope and it must be used and cared for accordingly 2 It is used to magnify and to make visible to the eye very small bodies such as bacteria the eggs of intestinal parasites and the material found in urine sediments 3 A simple microscope is nothing more than a single magnifying lens 4 A compound microscope which is the type used in medical laboratories consists of a number of such lenses arranged in line so as to give a very great magnification 5 Complete and detailed descriptions of microscopes may be found in all books on laboratory work 6 Before attempting to use a microscope for the first time one should read over a description of its parts and their functions in order to adjust the light and the lenses properly 7 There are a few important things to keep in mind regarding its use and they are never leave the microscope exposed to direct sunlight excessive heat or splashing water never use ether alcohol or xylol to clean it never pick it up by any of the movable parts never leave immersion oil on the lens or objective as it is called but wipe it off immediately after use with a fine soft

Chemistry an experimental science

Chemistry deals with all substances that make up our environment It also deals with the changes that take place in these substances ndash changes that make the differences between a cold and lifeless planet and one that teems with life and growth Chemistry helps us understand and benefit from naturersquos wondrous ways

Chemistry is an important part of science Since every phase of our daily life is affected by the fruits of scientific activity everyone should know what scientific activity is what it can do and how it works The study of chemistry helps you learn these things The most enjoyable part of chemistry is experimentation Unifying principles are developed with the laboratory work providing the basis for the development To see these principles grow out of observations you have made in the laboratory gives you a valid picture of how all scientific advances begin It permits you to engage in scientific activity and to start becoming a scientist yourself

Most of the students will not become scientists But all of you live in a world greatly influenced by science You will read the newspapers about many scientific advances and sometimes you will be asked to vote on important technical subjects You will be asked to consider the effect of aerosol sprays on the earthrsquos atmosphere cancer-producing chemicals in water supplies the bad effects of industrial wastes and the advantages and possible dangers of nuclear power production All these are important problems that require two major efforts First scientists must collect enough good information so that the real danger and possible solutions are known Second a political decision has to be made about what society wants Every citizen should be involved in the second effort For this reason it is important to understand how scientists go about solving problems To understand the world a scientist 1 Makes experiments and gathers information through observation 2 Organizes this information and looks for regularities 3 Wonders why the regularities exist 4 Communicates the findings to others

These are the basic activities of science Observation is the starting point Observation is most useful when the conditions which affect the observation are controlled carefully A condition is controlled when it is fixed known and can be varied deliberately All science is built upon the

84

results of experiments performed under controlled conditions Regularities provide an efficient way to summarize the results of many experiments and also allow us to predict the results of experiments that we have not carried out before The fourth activity of science is the most important one of all It is only through communicating ideas to others that a strong framework can be provided for science Experimental results must be confirmed and explanations must be tested by others If it were not for this aspect of science each generation of scientists would have to start from the beginning

ВЫБИРАЕМ ТЕРМОМЕТР

Измерить температуру у ребенка ndash задача не из легких Не удивительно что современные модели термометров которые позволяют измерить температуру буквально за секунду пользуются таким спросом

И все же несмотря на все достижения науки и техники старые ртутные (mercury) термометры остаются самыми точными (accurate) и самыми дешевыми И к великому сожалению самыми опасными (dangerous) особенно когда речь идет о детях Разбить хрупкий (fragile) стеклянный корпус (coating) ничего не стоит но избавиться (dispose)

88

потом от ртутных шариков мгновенно зная что испарения (evaporation) этого металла смертоносны (fatal) - очень сложно Кроме того чтобы достоверно узнать температуру ртутный термометр нужно держать под мышкой (under the armpit) (или в анальном отверстии (anus)) не менее пяти минут а то и все десять

Цифровые (digital) термометры ndash другое дело Потребуется (it will take) всего лишь 3 минуты чтобы измерить (to take) температуру а для некоторых людей даже полторы Наряду с этим замечательным преимуществом (advantage) они обладают массой дополнительных возможностей (additional functions) запоминают предыдущие (previous) значения температуры (readings) звуком сообщают о готовности к работе и о том что градусники пора вынимать (get out of) автоматически выключаются (switch off) и зачастую снабжены подсветкой (illumination) чтобы использовать прибор ночью не доставляя неудобств (disturb) другим членам семьи

Для самых маленьких пациентов изобрели термометр-соску (soother) К сожалению показания такого термометра могут быть не очень точными (accurate) особенно если малыш плачет или дышит (breathe) ртом

Еще одно полезное изобретение ndash цифровой индикатор Но индикатор ndash он и есть индикатор то есть дает приблизительные (approximate) данные (data) о температуреСамые удобные модели ndash ушные (aural) инфракрасные термометры Одно плохо ndash эта почти фантастическая новинка отличается и фантастически высокой ценой (high price)Part VI Speaking

Chemical elements and compounds

An element is a pure substance containing only one kind of atom When two distinct elements are chemically combined the result is termed a compound

The term element was first used by the Greek philosopher Plato in about 360 BC Plato believed that the elements introduced a century earlier

106

by Empedocles were composed of small polyhedral forms tetrahedron (fire) octahedron (air) icosahedrons (water) and cube (earth)There are 118 elements known today Some elements occur pure in nature and have been known for thousands of years Elements like iron silver gold mercury lead tin and sulphur were known to the ancients They were given Latin names by the early chemists For example iron was called ferrum silver was called argentum and gold was called aurum

The first modern list of chemical elements was given in Antoine Lavoisierrsquos 1789 Elements of chemistry which contained thirty-three elements including light and caloric During the 19 th century there was an increase in the number of elements discovered as chemists began to adopt quantitative methods Dmitri Mendeleev had sixty-six elements in his periodic table of 1869 By the end of the 19th century 81 elements had been known Almost twice as many elements were discovered in the 20th century as were discovered up to that time Credit for proof of elemental character goes to scientists in England France Sweden Germany Portugal and the United States Three of those scientists were Marie Skladovska Curie (radium polonium) Maquerite Perey (francium) and Ida Tacke (rhenium)

Each element has a name and has been given a shortened symbol of one or two letters The element carbon is symbolized by the letter C the element neon by letter Ne Ten of the elements have symbols derived from the capitalized first letter of the Latin name of the element and if necessary by a second letter Other elements have symbols that can be derived from their English names

But now letrsquos consider a substance like water Water can be identified by its properties colour taste melting and boiling temperatures and ability to dissolve sugar and salt A demonstration of electrolysis can easily show that water can be changed into other substances hydrogen gas and oxygen gas Since water can be decomposed into two other substances water must contain at least two kinds of atoms Water is a compound

Sugar is another substance that you know One property of sugar is its sweetness Another property is that it dissolves in water Still another is the way it behaves when heated Under definite temperature sugar not only begins to melt to a liquid but it also begins to decompose Sugar can be decomposed to form water and charcoal in definite amounts Sugar is a compound

Actually there is a set of characteristics called properties that characterize each substance Chemists sometimes speak about chemical changes and physical changes Physical changes do not mean a change in the composition of a substance For example breaking freezing melting boiling and deforming a substance such as lead are considered physical changes A chemical change or chemical reaction however changes the composition and characteristic or special properties of a substance

107

Note almost twice as many elements ndash почти в два раза больше элементов

Exercise 1 Translate the following word combinationsTo dissolve sugar and salt to adopt quantitative methods a set of characteristics under definite temperature to dissolve in water to produce in definite amounts to identify the substance by its properties to derive the name from melting and boiling temperatures to consider a substance elements occurring in nature

Exercise 2 Insert instead of gaps the proper words from the text1 The term ldquoelementrdquo was first introduced by hellip 2 By the end of the 19 th

century elements had been known 3 There are hellip elements known today 4 Elements like hellip hellip hellip hellip hellip and hellip were known to the ancient people 5 Iron was called hellip silver was called hellip and gold was called hellip in ancient times 6 The first modern list of chemical elements was given by hellip 7 Radium and polonium were discovered by Polish scientist hellip in 1898 8 Francium was discovered by hellip in 1939 9 Ida Tacke a German scientist discovered hellip in 1925

Exercise 3 Define the following notions1 An element 2 A compound 3 A periodic table 4 A physical change 5 A chemical reaction 6 Sugar 7 WaterExercise 4 Answer the following questions1 Who was the first to use the term ldquoelementrdquo 2 What is an element according to the current definition 3 What is a compound 4 What names did ancients give to such elements as iron silver and gold 5 What languages are chemical names of elements based on 6 Why was there an increase in the number of elements discovered in the 19th century 7 The scientists of what countries contributed to the discovery of elements Give their names 8 What is the most convenient and the most traditional presentation of elements 9 How can water be identified 10 In what way can one prove that water is a compound 11 What are the main properties of sugar 12 What is the product of decomposition of sugar under definite temperature 13 Are heating freezing melting boiling and deforming chemical or physical changes 14 What is a chemical change

108

Exercise 5 Make up the outline to the text and speak about chemical elements and compounds according to it

Exercise 6 Read the following passages and translate them with the help of a dictionary

PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS

As chemists discovered new elements they also discovered that certain elements behave in a similar manner Beginning in the mid-1800rsquos several chemists suggested ways to organize the known elements into a periodic table so that those with similar properties would be grouped together Chief among these researchers were Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev a Russian chemist and the German chemist Julius Lotcher Meyer DI Mendeleev developed a form of a periodic law a basic principal in chemistry His law states that the properties of chemical elements reoccur in regular pattern when the elements are arranged according to their atomic weight Mendeleevrsquos work together with that of Meyerrsquos led to the periodic table a systematic arrangement of the elements

In 1869 Mendeleev proposed his arrangements of the elements in order of increasing atomic weight and according to similarity in properties Mendeleevrsquos table has blank spaces for unknown elements Later using the periodic law he predicted the properties of these unknown elements His predictions were confirmed by the discovery between 1875 and 1886 of three elements with these properties Mendeleev also discovered the phenomenon of critical temperature the temperature at which a gas or vapour may be liquefied by pressure

Turning the Table on Refrigerants

The Freon compounds that are used to absorb heat in refrigerators and air conditioners were discovered in 1937 by Thomas Midgley an American chemist The following is his description of how the periodic table was usedldquoWhat was wanted was obvious ndash a nontoxic nonflammable refrigerant The desired combination of properties was a boiling point between Odeg and - 40degC stability nontoxicity and nonflammability I decided to bring into play the Periodic Table Perhaps volatility could be related to it some way It takes but a fraction of a second to see this is true The elements on the right-hand side of the Periodic table are the only ones which make compounds sufficiently volatile for the purpose in hand In fact only a certain number of these elements need to be considered Volatile compounds of boron silicon phosphorus arsenic antimony bismuth selenium tellurium and iodine are all too unstable and toxic to consider Now look at the remaining elements ndash

109

carbon nitrogen oxygen fluorine sulphur chlorine and bromine Every refrigerant used has been made from combinations of these elements Flammability decreases from left to right Toxicity usually decreases from the heavy elements at the bottom to lighter elements at the top These two trends focus on fluorine It was an exciting deduction Seemingly no one previously had considered it possible that fluorine might be nontoxic in some of its compoundsrdquo

Numerous Freons are now made to provide useful kinds of refrigerators air conditioners and freezers for preparing or storing foods

Chemical elements of living matter

1 Living matter contains about one-third of the elements of the Mendeleyev Periodic Table Only hydrogen carbon nitrogen and iodine are found in higher concentrations in the human body than in the earth Six other elements are found in roughly the same proportions oxygen phosphorus sulphur chlorine potassium and calcium 2 Besides hydrogen oxygen is the element present in the human body in the greatest amount It constitutes about 65 of the total (by weight) amountMost amount of oxygen is combined with hydrogen as water ndash the most abundant compound of the human body constituting 45 to 75 by weight Water itself is essential to keep the body hydrated but it also plays an absolutely vital role in respiration The exact amount depends principally on age sex and build relatively infants have more than adults men more than women There may also be considerable differences between healthy and ill people and the water content of the body may be affected by drugs3 Carbon is the second most abundant element found inside the human body Carbon is excreted from the body in the form of carbon dioxide which is a waste product of respiration Carbon is also the main component of glucose and other sugars The unique nature of living matter is due to its organic constituents ie compounds based on a carbon chain 4 There are some important organic chemicals usually ions that are essential to health For example calcium and phosphorus for the teeth and bones and iron is essential in the hemoglobin of the blood transporting the oxygen throughout the bodySodium potassium and chlorine ions deserve special emphasis because they regulate the electrolyte equilibrium in the blood and body tissues and help maintain proper fluid balance inside and outside the cells This balance is

110

controlled primarily by the Na+K+ ion ratio which ideally is 06 Potassium is the major cation within cells the 19 to 56 gday requirements must be replenished since the ion is excreted in the urine Na+K+ deficiency is fairly common in people using a diuretic to control body fluids The Na+ (1-2gday) and Cl- (17-51 gday) requirements are usually easy to meet since most foods contain NaCl in fact the average Na+ intake in the United States is about 10 gday between five and ten times the amount needed Excess sodium intake may contribute to hypertension or high blood pressure5 Phosphorus is another very important mineral One of its functions involves energy production Other important ions occurring in living matter besides those formed from organic acids and bases are bicarbonate ammonium phosphate and sulphate The bony skeleton and the teeth contain lithium fluoride as well Additional important compounds include carbon dioxide and oxygen

Sometimes chemicals present in small amounts affect the biochemical functions of the body Lethal doses are usually expressed in milligrams (mg of substance per kilogram (kg) weight of the subject) For example cyanide ion (CN-) is generally fatal to human in doses of 1 mg of CN - per kg of body weight For a 200-pound person 000032 ounce of cyanide is a lethal dose Examples of somewhat less toxic substances and the probable lethal doses for an average person are morphine 1-50 mg per kg aspirin 50-500 mg per kg methyl alcohol 05-5 g per kg ethyl alcohol 5-15 g per kg

Substances we take in through food and water or through the air we breathe may influence our health While some substances are harmful others can be beneficial eg fluoride preventing caries water disinfectants killing germs etc

Lets consider such toxic substances as arsenic fluorides and mercury

ARSENIC 1 Where is arsenic formed

Arsenic is found in the natural environment About one third of the arsenic in the atmosphere comes from natural sources and the rest comes from man-made sources

The amounts of arsenic found in living animals plants and microbes vary 2 What are the ways of arsenic exposure

Humans are exposed mainly through food water and cigarette smoking Food is usually the largest source Arsenic is one of many hundreds of chemicals present in cigarette smoke The quantities of arsenic breathed in by non-smokers are very small except in industrially polluted areas Smokers inhale more because arsenic is one of many hundreds of chemicals present in cigarette smoke

Many arsenic compounds are quickly transformed and eliminated from the body via the urine 3 What are the effects of arsenic exposure

Many parts of the body may be affected by arsenic including the skin gut (кишка) lungs heart blood vessels immune system urinary system reproductive organs and the nervous system

Long-term exposure to high levels of arsenic in drinking water can cause thickening and pigment spots in the skin and cancer of the skin lungs bladder or kidney

FLUORIDES

113

1 What are fluorides Fluorides are organic and inorganic compounds containing the

fluorine element Generally colourless the different fluoride compounds are more or

less soluble in water and can take the form of a solid liquid or gasThese are important industrial chemicals with a number of uses but the largest fluorides uses are for aluminum production drinking water fluoridation and the manufacture of fluoridated dental preparations 2 How are humans exposed to fluorides

Food and drinking water typically contain at least small amounts of fluorides

In drinking water fluoride can either be naturally present or artificially added for the prevention of dental caries

All foodstuffs contain at least small amounts of fluoride Humans retain 60 to 90 of the fluoride taken in and accumulate almost all of it in their bones and teeth 3 What effects have actually been seen in humans

Fluoride can help prevent cavities but as the amount taken in increases it can also harm teeth (dental fluorosis) and bones (skeletal fluorosis) MERCURY1 What is mercury

Mercury is a chemical element with symbol Hg It is a silver-coloured metal and unlike any other metal it is a liquid at room temperature It flows so easily and rapidly that it is sometimes called quicksilver

Mercury compounds have uses in agriculture and industry Mercury however is extremely poisonous and can cause illness or death After many people realized its dangers industries and government agencies began trying to reduce the amount of mercury reaching the environment

2 What are the main uses of mercuryMercury has many properties (qualities) that make it useful For

example mercury expands and contracts evenly when heated or cooled It also remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures These properties have prompted its use in thermometers

3 What compounds does mercury form Can they be useful for people

Chemists divide mercury compounds into two groups (1) mercurous and (2) mercuric Mercurous compounds include mercurous chloride (Hg2Cl2) also called calomel and mercurous sulphate (Hg2SO2) Calomel is an antiseptic used to kill bacteria Scientists use mercurous sulphate to speed up certain tests on organic compounds

Mercuric compounds include mercuric chloride (HgCl2) a powerful poison that surgeons once used to disinfect wounds Several organic

114

mercuric compounds have important medical uses For example diuretics which doctors use to treat kidney disease contain these compounds The antiseptic Mercurochrome is also a mercuric compound

4 What effect may mercury have on plants animals and the environment

Mercury in the environment is harmful chiefly because its poisonous compounds have been found in plants and animals that people use for food Scientists have discovered poisonous mercury compounds in such foods as eggs fish grain and meat Mercury acts as a cumulative poison ndash that is the body has difficulty eliminating it Thus it may collect over a long time eventually reaching dangerous levels

Among the most dangerous mercury compounds are those containing methyl mercury They can damage brain cells

smoke (Where hellip)5 Many arsenic compounds are eliminated from the body via the urine

(How hellip)6 The skin the heart the lungs the blood vessels the immune system the

urinary system and some others may be affected by arsenic (What hellip)7 Fluorides are added to dental products to prevent cavities (To what hellip)8 Human retains 60 to 90 of the fluoride taken in (What is the

percentage hellip)9 If taken in excess amount fluoride can harm teeth and bones (In what

case hellip)10 Mercury flows so easily and rapidly that it is sometimes called

quicksilver (Why hellip)11 Mercury remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures (Does hellip or

hellip)12 Mercuric chloride a powerful poison was used to disinfect wounds (For

what purpose hellip)13 A mercuric compound Mercuchrome is used as antiseptic (What hellip)14 Mercury acts as a cumulative poison (Does hellip)

ТАБЛИЦА МЕНДЕЛЕЕВА В ОРГАНИЗМЕ

О том что в организмах содержатся металлы было известно давно Однако их исключительное значение для живой природы открылось на стыке наук физики биологии химии и медицины

В организме человека как и в водах Мирового океана находятся все элементы таблицы Менделеева Даже такой редкий и радиоактивный металл как уран хотя количество его ничтожно мало ndash всего 000009 грамма

Распределяются (distribute) элементы в нашем организме неравномерно (unevenly) Каждому органу в зависимости от выполняемой функции свойственны определенные химические

118

элементы в необходимых концентрациях Наибольшее их количество накапливается в печени (liver) В плазме крови (blood plasma) и в волосах химические элементы содержатся в незначительных количествах

Все химические элементы нашего организма подразделяются на две неравные группы Первая группа ndash макроэлементы В неё входят 10 незаменимых элементов калий натрий кальций железо медь магний молибден кобальт цинк и марганец Вторую группу ndash микроэлементов ndash составляют все оставшиеся элементы В здоровом организме и макро- и микроэлементы сбалансированы

Нарушение баланса микроэлементов влечет за собой изменение функции (disfunction) в дальнейшем и морфологической структуры клетки органа организма вызывая различные заболевания в том числе и онкологические

В крови больных ишемией (ischemia) и инфарктом (infarct) например обнаружены повышенные концентрации марганца и никеля но ndash дефицит магния кальция меди железа и бария Для нормального сердечного ритма (heart rate) необходимо достаточное поступление в организм именно кальция и магния что обеспечивает правильный электролитический обмен

Недостаток цинка селена и хрома указывает на пониженный иммунитет Дефицит магния и избыток (excess) натрия влияют на уровень артериального давления (arterial pressure)

ЙОДДефицит его в организме вызывает гипотиреоз (hypothyrosis) так

как йод принимает участие в выработке тиреоидина (thyroidin) Недостаток тиреоидина ведет к нарушению интеллектуального и физического здоровья Дефицит йода вызывает необратимые нарушения у новорожденных умственную отсталость (mental retardation) кретинизм (cretinism) олигофрению (oligophrenia)

Исследования последних лет в разных странах мира показали что в регионах с выраженным йодным дефицитом средние показатели умственного развития снижаются на 15-20 По мнению ВОЗ недостаток йода является самой распространенной (widespread) формой умственной отсталости которую можно предупредить (prevent)

Дефицит йода в Беларуси пытаются предупредить добавлением к пищевой соли йодистого калия 25 граммов на (per) тонну соли Срок хранения такой соли не более 4-х месяцев так как йод улетучивается (evaporate)

Какая-то часть дефицита йода восполняется за счет овощей и фруктов Значительное количество йода содержится в чесноке (garlic) свекле Много ndash в субтропических плодах фейхоа Но особенно богаты им все морепродукты

119

Выделяется (eliminate) йод из организма преимущественно через почки (kidneys) ndash до 80 а также через молочные (mammary) слюнные (salivary) и потовые железы (sweat glands) частично с желчью (bile)

MEDICINAL HERBSI

The principal parts of a plant are 1) the root system 2) the stems and leaves 3) the reproductive part made up of flowers fruits or seeds The roots grow downward into the soil and have two main functions ndash to absorb plant nutrients and water from the soil and to anchor the plant As to stems and leaves they are usually above the ground The food used in growth by green plants is manufactured in the leaves from the raw materials taken from the soil and air This process is known as photosynthesis To support the leaves and to connect them with the roots are the main functions of the stem A flower is the part of the plant where seeds are produced Thus to produce seeds the plant must have flowersHerbal medicine also called botanical medicine or phytomedicine refers to using plants seeds fruits roots leaves bark or flowers for medicinal purposes Plants that give drugs have both active substances the so-called primary plant products and inactive substances the so-called secondary products The constituents and active principles vary in quantity at different seasons of the year and the majority of plant materials are usually best collected during the dry season when the herbs are at peak maturity and concentration Roots and rhizomes Best collected from October to February when the plants are more vigorously storing food in their underground organsLeaves The most opportune time is when the plant is about to bloom

135

Flowers Best collected in the time of pollination Buds are preferred collected in the morning after the morning dew has evaporated flowers just before or shortly after opening Dry the herbal materials as quickly as possibleBark materials and stems Generally best gathered in summer time as the bark of any plant usually contains richer nutritive substances including the medicinal metabolites Fruits and seeds Fully ripened fruits and mature seeds are preferred Turn the fleshy fruit frequently for even dryingWhole plant When the whole plant is desired it is advisable to harvest the plant at the time when the flowers are all in bloom

IIThe moisture content of the dried plant materials should be less than 10 before storageThe dried plant materials should be placed in plastic containers or tightly covered bottles The storage place should be dry well-ventilated and spacious Drug materials can be kept on large open wooden shelves The odour of a drug of plant origin may be distinct or indistinct depending upon the amount of volatile constituents the drug possesses It is described as aromatic balsamic spicy camphorous etc When it is difficult to compare the odour with other substances it is described as characteristicAccording to taste substances may be classified into four groups1 Those possessing a true taste such as acid sweet alkaline bitter2 Those possessing no taste and thus are tasteless3 Those possessing a characteristic odour which gives name to the so-

called ldquotasterdquo They may be grouped broadly into those which are agreeable or pleasant (aromatic balsamic spicy) and disagreeable or unpleasant (alliaceous camphorous etc)

4 Those giving certain sensation to the tongue (mucilaginous oily astringent pungent acrid nauseous)

NATURErsquoS MEDICINES

1 Without plants there would be no life on Earth In ancient times plants played a vital role in healing and many are still used by the modern pharmaceutical industry2 The Assyrians and Egyptians the early civilized people started cultivating plants By the seventh century they had produced a systematically arranged list of medicinal plants In China medical authorities recognize the medical properties of more than 5800 plants They classified the medicinal effects of the plants on the various parts of the body and then tested them to determine their toxicity what dosages would be lethal etc For example cassia bark is warming in nature and is useful in treating colds Mint is cooling in nature and is used to relieve the symptoms of illness resulting from heat factors 3 One of the most widely used plants that was known to man 5000 years ago is garlic It is well known that garlic is therapeutically useful for the following purposes it is a powerful agent in preventing diphtheria typhus tuberculosis pneumonia it is useful in all respiratory infections especially in symptoms of a dry hacking cough in colds asthma and bronchitis and in many other cases It is also an excellent nerve tonic4 Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a popular alternative to commonly prescribed medications for sleep problems Unlike many prescription sleeping pills valerian may have fewer side effects such as morning drowsiness5 Clinical studies found that Echinacea supplements decreased the chance of getting a cold by 58 It also shortened the duration of a cold by 14 days 6 Used correctly herbs can help treat a variety of conditions and in some cases may have fewer side effects than some conventional medications But some herbs may cause allergic reactions and some are toxic if used improperly or at high doses Taking herbs on your own increases your risk so it is important to consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking herbal medicines

138

POISONOUS PLANTS

Poisonous plants when used in small or moderate amounts cause a harmful reaction resulting in illness or death Many ornamental plants such as oleander lilly-of-the-valley and mistletoe1 are poisonous Some plants contain both edible and poisonous parts potatoes and tomatoes are common plant foods but their green parts are poisonous

The poisonous compound may be distributed2 throughout all parts of the plant or it may accumulate in one part more than in any other such as the root or berry Every plant may vary in the amount of toxins it contains due to different growing conditions and slight variations in subspecies Certain plants however can be highly toxic when young and harmless later

Usually more than 60g of the poisonous part of the plant must be eaten by an average adult before poisonous results Some plants however are toxic in small amounts for instance one or two castor beans the seeds of castor-oil plant may kill a child

Poisonous plants cause painful skin irritations3 upon contact they cause internal poisoning when eaten and they poison through skin absorption or inhalation into the respiratory tract After ingestion4 the poison may act immediately on the digestive tract Symptoms of ingestion poisoning can include nausea vomiting diarrhea depressed heartbeat hallucinations dry mouth coma and death Some plants affect the heart (oleander) Plants containing alkaloids often produce unpleasant or dangerous reactions in the nervous system Examples are paralysis hallucinations or heart block A few poisons act directly within the cells of the body Cyanide for example prevents cells of the body from using oxygen

First aid in case of poisoningThe symptoms of poisoning depend on both the amount of poison

ingested and the individualrsquos reaction to the poison as every person has a different level of resistance to toxic substances

Exercise 4 Enumerate the main measures to be taken to help the victim who has eaten a poisonous plant or mushroom

Exercise 5 Read the texts and translate them using a dictionary

142

Belladonna

Belladonna is probably named in honour of Italians who made eye drops of the fresh juice to dilate their pupils and make them appear more alluring According to a medieval superstition witches used belladonna in their ceremonies to promote hallucinations and it was combined with aconite to produce the sensation of flying Gerard described the herb as ldquoa plant so furious and deadlyrdquo Belladonna has powerful sedative and narcotic properties mainly due to the presence of two poisonous crystalline alkaloids One of them atropine affects the autonomous nervous system Today ophthalmologists still use atropine to dilate the pupils and it also antidotes the nerve gas discharges from chemical weapons The other alkaloid is used as a sedative Belladonna extracts are used medicinally to treat ailments characterized by spasms including Parkinsonrsquos disease epilepsy asthma and whooping cough Atropine also controls mucous secretions and may be found in medications for colds and fever Homeopathically belladonna is prescribed for scarlet fever inflammations throbbing headaches and sore throats

All parts of plants are highly poisonous They should be taken only under medical supervision All parts of the fresh plants give off an unpleasant smell when bruised and are extremely poisonous Black berries contain a sweet inky juice that is deadly poison

CAMPHOR

Camphor chemical formula C10H12O is a substance that comes from the camphor tree The trees grow tall and have white flowers and green leaves Most grow in China and on the island of Taiwan

Camphor is produced by steaming wood chips from the camphor tree During this process camphor collects in an oily layer on the chips The oily substance is drained and pressed to remove the oil and water Camphor is then left in the form of whitish almost transparent crystals The crystals are usually purified by sublimation a process by which the camphor changes directly from a solid to a vapour leaving behind impurities Chemists now produce synthetic camphor in laboratories

Camphor is used in cosmetics lacquers and pharmaceuticals Spirits of camphor ndash mixture of 10 parts camphor 70 parts alcohol and 20 parts water ndash is a mild antiseptic Camphor is also combined with another compound to make camphorated parachlorophenol a germ-killing drug sometimes used in dental work Chemists use camphor to denature ethyl alcohol the type of

143

alcohol used in alcoholic beverages Denatured alcohol is ethyl alcohol that is unfit for drinking but has other uses Large doses of camphor are poisonous and will cause delirium and convulsions

IN THE PHARMACY

Pharmacy is a place where medicines are prepared and sold Most pharmacies sometimes called chemistsrsquo or drugstores also sell many other products Every pharmacy has a hall for visitors a department for selling drugs which is called the chemist department and proper working rooms Large pharmacies have also a prescription department where prescriptions are filled Today pharmaceutical manufacturers supply most drugs But pharmacists must still compound some medicines and be able to prepare antiseptic solutions ointments and other common remedies

At the chemist department one can buy ready-to-use remedies in various forms such as tablets (sleeping tablets sedative tablets) pills drops (cough drops nasal drops) tinctures (tincture of iodine) mixtures herbs for infusion (peppermint chamomile) ointments (boric ointment zinc ointment) powders (talcum powder) lotions (eye lotion) Such remedies as valerian medical charcoal bicarbonate of soda vaseline and hydrogen peroxide are also available at the chemist department One can get there dressing material including gauze cotton wool elastic bandages adhesive tape plasters etc

Exercise 7 Read the following text and do the tasks which follow it

STORAGE OF DRUGS

1 There are strict legal requirements for the purchase (покупка) storage use identification dispensing and prescription of drugs

2 Many drugs are poisonous if taken accidentally or in excess (в избытке) others are caustic and may cause painful burns Some common sense precautions (из соображений здравого смысла) in storing drugs are to keep them well away from strong light heat pungent odors food and drinks to keep poisons up in a special poisons cabinet and to keep caustics on the lowest shelf where accidental spillage (случайно пролившаяся жидкость) cannot affect the eyes or burn the face

3 The condition of the drugs stored for long period depends generally on the conditions of storage over this period and in certain cases depends on the drugs themselves

4 Certain drugs will keep perfectly if they are stored in well closed containers in the dark and in a dry atmosphere at a moderate (умеренная) temperature On the other hand a drug such as digitalis even if it is stored under the most ideal conditions will have lost all its potency by the end of one year while other drugs will be all right even if they are stored under the most varied conditions for long periods (for ex the ampoules of strychnine or the capsules containing drug powders)

5 Some medical products need to be stored at a lower than ambient (окружающая) temperature to assure (обеспечивать) their quality and

163

efficacy These are often referred to as ldquocold chain productsrdquo or fridge linesrdquo They are to be stored and distributed in strict accordance with (в строгом соответствии) the product labeling requirements Some cold chain items such as vaccine insulin biotech products and products derived from (полученные) blood or plasma can be classified as high risk ones because they are at risk from freezing as well as elevated temperatures Other products for example chloramphenicol eye drops may be labeled as requiring storage between 2deg and 8degC but a short deviation from (отклонение) this temperature range presents less of danger to users

6 Stocks of drugs must be stored in accordance with manufacturerrsquos instructions and not kept beyond their expiry date (срок годности) Records of their purchase supply and expiry date must be kept for at least 11 years Any drugs which have passed their expiry date should be discarded (выбрасывать) together with any solutions which have become discolored or cloudy

Task 1 Pay attention to how the narration is structured and complete the gaps with the words and phrases from the box

a) stocks of drugsb) strict legal requirementsc) the expiry date d) cold chain products

e) poisons and causticsf) the condition g) storing h) examples

Paragraph 1 introduces the fact that there are __________ for buying storage use identification dispensing and prescription of medicines

Paragraph 2 describes some common sense precautions in storing ordinary medicines as well as __________

Paragraph 3 brings in factors on which __________ of storing drugs for a long period depends on

Paragraph 4 continues enumerating conditions for __________ most drugs and gives some __________

Paragraph 5 points out the main regulations for storing __________ which are to be stored strictly in accordance with their labeling requirements

Paragraph 6 provides information about proper storage of __________ in accordance with manufacturerrsquos instructions and utilization of drugs after passing __________

164

Task 2 Formulate the main rules for storing different kinds of drugs using the Imperative Mood

Exercise 8 Translate with the help of a dictionary

How is herbal medicine sold in stores

The herbs available in most stores come in several different forms teas syrups oils liquid extracts tinctures and dry extracts (pills or capsules) Teas can be made from dried herbs left to soak for a few minutes in hot water or by boiling herbs in water and then straining the liquid Syrups made from concentrated extracts and added to sweet-tasting preparations are often used for sore throats and coughs Oils are extracted from plants and often used as rubs for massage either by themselves or as part of an ointment or cream Tinctures and liquid extracts are made of active herbal ingredients dissolved in a liquid (usually water alcohol or glycerol) Tinctures are typically a 15 or 110 concentration meaning that one part of the herb is prepared with five to ten parts (by weight) of the liquid Liquid extracts are more concentrated than tinctures and are typically a 11 concentration A dry extract form is the most concentrated form of an herbal product (typically 21 - 81) and is sold as a tablet capsule or lozengeCurrently no organization or agency regulates the manufacture or certifies the labeling of herbal preparations This means you cant be sure that the amount of the herb contained in the bottle or even from dose to dose is the same as what is stated on the label Some herbal preparations are standardized meaning that the preparation is guaranteed to contain a specific amount of the active ingredients of the herb However it is still important to ask companies making standardized herbal products about their products guarantee It is important to talk to your doctor or an expert in herbal medicine about the recommended doses of any herbal products

A PRESCRIPTION

The word ldquoprescriptionrdquo from ldquoprerdquo (before) and ldquoscriptrdquo (writing written) refers to the fact that the prescription is an order that must be written down before a compounding drug can be prepared

Prescriptions are handwritten on preprinted prescription form Each prescription is datedA complete prescription is made up of five essential parts 1) the superscription 2) the inscription 3) the subscription 4) the signature and 5) the prescriberrsquos name The superscription section contains the date and patientrsquos information (name address age etc) The inscription is the body of the prescription This contains the ingredients and quantities of each The traditional symbol Rx separates the subscription from the inscription section The symbol originated in medieval manuscripts as an abbreviation of the Latin verb ldquoreciperdquo meaning ldquoto takerdquo Itrsquos the instruction to the pharmacist ndash ldquotake the following components and compound this medication for the patientrdquo The subscription always follows the inscription and contains the writerrsquos instruction to the pharmacist This designates the form of preparation (mixture tablets ointments etc) the strength (in words and figures) and the quantity of the total number (in words and figures) The signature consists of the directions to the patient This information is placed on the label of the container in which the medication is dispensed The prescriberrsquos name is the part of the prescription that guarantees its authenticity Some prescriptions will specify whether and how many ldquorepeatsrdquo or ldquorefillsrdquo are allowed that is whether the patient may obtain more of the same medication

The language of the prescription was unique in Great Britain some half a century ago when all the names of drugs were latinized It was possible because the physician used only dosed drugs Today all prescriptions are written in English The only Latin which is used is a few traditional abbreviations in the instruction to the pharmacist and on the label

A more serious problem is the naming of drugs In the old days drugs had only one official name At present each drug has at least three names They are the chemical name the so-called generic name and trade name The chemical name is difficult to use and remember except for the simplest drugs because of its length and complexity The trade or brand name is the

166

private property of the drug company and is copy right Many brand name drugs have less expensive generic drug substitutes that are therapeutically and biochemically equivalent Prescriptions will also contain instructions whether the prescriber will allow the pharmacist to substitute the generic version of the drug

Supplementary texts

SECTION 3 In the chemical laboratory

Read and translate with the help of a dictionary

Creating thermometer scalesHow do scientists such as Gabriel Fahrenheit and Anders Celsius create new concepts such as temperature scales Many times new discoveries stem from (происходить) a scientistrsquos personal interests or observationsA cowrsquos normal body temperature is the same as a humanrsquos ndash about 986deg F Yet some evidence indicates that Fahrenheit based his primary reference point for 100deg F on the body temperature of a cow If this story is true the Fahrenheit scale was based on a sick cow Some have claimed (утверждать) that Fahrenheit chose his value of 100deg F so that the normal human body temperature would be 986deg F but this cannot be the case While most people were aware (знать) that there was a normal human body temperature its value was not determined until after the development of the thermometer scales Instead it seems that Fahrenheit based his scale on a measurement of interest to him Anders Celsius was a Swedish astronomer who had an interest in determining exactly how cold the Swedish nights were as he walked to his observatory Celsius wanted to know how warmly to dress and whether the metal telescope parts would be too cold to use in gazing at the vastness of the heavens (вглядываясь в безбрежное небо) The Celsius scale grew out of these practical concernsAs you can see scientists often have the same kinds of problems nonscientists do Sometime scientists view (рассматривать) those problems

177

as an impetus (движущая сила толчок) to study new ideas and invent new solution

SECTION 4 Chemical elements

I Read the passage and concentrate on the following

1 Sources of lead poisoning2 Consequences of lead poisoning3 Prevention and treatment of lead poisoning

II Present the information read using the italicized word combinations and the following phrases To begin with The problem of is rather complicated urgentcontroversal Itrsquos a well-known fact that Some more facts about are I can give some more details about I was surprised by learning that (about) My point of view is that To sum up I can go over some points raised First Second On the whole In conclusion let me say

Get the lead out

Most heavy metals are poisonous to humans and animals Lead one of these heavy metals interferes (препятствовать) with hemoglobin production in the blood and produces anemia Lead contamination can also cause mental retardation (задержка умственного развития) learning disabilities and damage to the nervous systemThe symbol for lead Pb comes from the Latin word plumbum (lead) which also gives us the words plumbing (водопровод) and plumber In the Roman Empire lead pipes carried water in the cities and lead cooking utensils (кухонная посуда) were used by wealthy Romans As a result upper-class Romans may well have suffered from lead poisoning that possibly caused brain or central nervous system damage In fact 1994 studies of ice cores (внутренность) in Greenland revealed extreme lead pollution caused by smelting (плавление) during the period from 500 BC to 300 AD Lead poisoning may have contributed to the fall of the Roman EmpireHowever the Romans arenrsquot the only ones who have been exposed (подвергаться воздействию) to toxic levels of lead Lead pigments were once common in household and furniture paints (краска) ndash lead compounds produce so many different colours that an artist could compose an entire palette (палитра) using only lead compounds Unfortunately lead poisoning from paints in older houses causes problems because old paint peels

178

(шелушиться лупиться) so readily Small children eat the paint chips nearly 250000 become ill every year In some cases permanent brain damage occurs New paints make use of other types of pigmentsAnother source of lead pollution in modern homes still involves the water supply In many homes copper water pipes are joined with lead solder (тех припой) Small amounts of solder slowly dissolve each day For this reason if you have copper pipes it is wise to run your tap water a few minutes before drinking it especially if the tap has not being used for a day or more If you wash your face or hands before drinking the tap water you can avoid wasting the water as it runs Newer homes often make use of plastic water pipes made from poly vinyl chloride or PVC These pipes are joined with a small amount of volatile solvent (летучий растворитель) Like the ancient Romans we still sometimes use glasses and dishes that contain lead lead improves the appearance and luster of crystal glass (глянец хрусталя) However crystal glass is another potential source of lead poisoning especially when used to serve acidic beverages (напитки) such as wine and soft drinks Similarly many ceramic dishes are coated with lead-containing glazes (глазурь) (especially those imported from foreign markets where the health regulations are not as much as the forefront)Physicians treat lead poisoning with EDTA or ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid EDTA forms soluble compounds called chelates with the lead permitting the body to excrete it But far preferable (намного предпочтительнее) to using EDTA as an antidote is avoiding lead exposure (продолжительное воздействие на организм) as much as possible There is no doubt that it is wise to get the lead out of paints drinking water and other everyday solutions

Notes1 may well have suffered from ndash возможно пострадали 2 where the health regulations are not as much as the forefront ndash где не

такое строгое соблюдение правил охраны здоровья

Read and translate the following text with the help of a dictionary

The chemistry of our senses

Although it may not be obvious most of our senses involve chemistry at one point or anotherTaste and smell are almost entirely chemical In both senses the nature of the stimulus is determined via direct chemical interactions The quality of taste is confirmed using taste buds (вкусовые сосочки языка) sensory units in the

179

tongue and mouth Taste buds respond to four different kinds of taste sweet sour salty and bitter The perception of flavor consists of varying combinations of these four kinds of taste Most ionic compounds such as NaCl taste salty and stimulate the salt-specific taste buds The sour taste usually arises from acidic substances Sweet or bitter tastes are not as restricted the taste buds perceive many chemicals as sweet including sugar artificial sweeteners glycerin and lead salts These substances have no similarity in structure shape or chemical nature The bitter taste also arises from many different compounds Temperature texture and odour blend into what people call tasteHow the sense of smell operates is still a mystery Scientists know that odour impinge on cells that make up the olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity and that molecular shape seems to play a major role in odour Some evidence suggests that odours are detected via infrared which might explain why the sense can detect quantities as small as one or two moleculesAlthough natural odours are usually due to complex mixtures of chemicals some are easily associated with a single chemical Some common odours and the chemicals mainly responsible are pine apple ndash ethyl butyrate banana ndash isoamyl acetate concord grape ndash methyl anthranilate apple ndash isoamyl isovalerate Delicious apple ndash ethyl-2-methylbutyrateFlavour and odour specialists use esters and other compounds to stimulate natural products or create new ones

SECTION 5 Plant study

Read the following text and say what the main functions of plant essential elements are

PLANT NUTRITION

More than 60 elements have been found in plant tissues These elements range from as common as carbon and hydrogen to those as exotic as platinum uranium and gold Are all these elements essential for growth

Carbon hydrogen oxygen phosphorus potassium nitrogen sulfur calcium and magnesium are required in relatively large amounts and are called macronutrients Iron chlorine copper manganese zinc boron and molybdenum are required in relatively small amounts and are called micronutrients

Functions of essential elements1 Plants require different amounts of different elements Most plants require

60 million times more hydrogen atoms than molybdenum atoms These

180

different requirements reflect different uses of these elements Hydrogen is in almost all compounds in plants while molybdenum occurs only in few

2 Different elements are absorbed in different forms Calcium and iron are absorbed as cations while phosphorus and sulfur are absorbed as anions

3 Most elements have several functions Potassium is involved in starch synthesis affects protein conformation and activates enzymes

Although the functions of essential elements are diverse they can be grouped into four general categoriesndash Essential elements can be part of structural units Carbon hydrogen and

oxygen make up carbohydrates such as cellulose Similarly nitrogen as an integral part of proteins

ndash Essential elements can be part of compounds involved in metabolism Magnesium is part of chlorophyll and phosphorus is part of ATP and nucleic acids

ndash Essential elements can activate or inhibit enzymesMagnesium stimulates several respiratory enzymes while calcium inhibits several enzymes In some cases these enzymes may be those responsible for synthesizing plant hormonesEssential elements can alter the osmotic potential of a cell

SECTION 6 In the pharmacy

Read the following passage without a dictionary and say what products can be bought in the Chineese pharmacy and what they are used for

Chinese pharmaceutical products

Visiting a Chinese pharmacy is much like being inside a miniature museum of natural sciences Tucked away (запрятанные) in row after row of tidy drawers are animal plant and mineral products each with a particular purpose Among the assortment of curiosities are cinnabar (киноварь) and amber (янтарь) to relax the nerves peach pits (косточки персика) and safflower (цветок шафрана) to improve blood circulation bears gall (желчь медведя) to relive pain and tranquilize Chinese ephedra to induce perspiration (потение) and ginseng to strengthen cardiac function

The filling of a prescription ordered by a Chinese doctor is a fascinating process to watch The pharmacist selects a few particular ingredients from the hundreds on the shelf These are taken home by the patient boiled into a ldquosouprdquo and drunk Confronted with such a steaming brew (напиток сваренный и настоянный) you might ask yourself just what the basis of this ancient medical art is

181

The Government of the Republic of China has put great effort into promoting the modernization of Chinese medicine In the area of pharmacology researchers have evaluated effectiveness analyzed tested and formulated concentrated dosages of Chinese pharmaceutical products for commercial scale The prescriptions for these drugs are easier to fill and are much more convenient for the patient than the old boiling method

English Universities

All English universities except Oxford and Cambridge are fairly new London University is the biggest of the modern universities and has many colleges and schools Oxford has 32 colleges A large college has about 5000 students about a hundred students study at a small college The college is an educational institution giving special instruction in certain subjects There are many types of colleges in England There are colleges within universities There are also technical colleges of various types colleges of arts and commerce Medical colleges are among them The college may be independent in its own affairs but is a part of the university in some matters The university gives the highest type of education It comprises a number of colleges and provides programmes for study and research beyond the college level The university is an administrative center which arranges lectures for all the students of the colleges holds examinations and gives degrees University teaching combines lectures practical classes and small group teaching in either seminars or tutorials the last being a traditional feature of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge A university usually has both faculties and departments The faculties are arts law medicine science The departments include engineering economics commerce agriculture music and technology At the head of each faculty there is a professor The staff of teachers called lecturers helps him Professors and lecturers deliver lectures to a large number of students or study with small groups All universities admit men and women but within some universities there are colleges especially for students of one sex Most of the universities provide hostels for their students

All the universities and colleges are independent self-governing institutions although they receive substantial aid from the state through the University Grants Committee The local education authorities have no responsibility for universities English universities greatly differ from each other They differ in date of foundation history traditions general

28

organization internal government methods of teaching ways of students life size etc On the whole British universities are comparatively small The approximate number is 7000-8000 students most universities having 3000 and some even less than 1500 students

The most ancient English universities are Cambridge and Oxford They date back to the 12-13th centuries and have always been universities for gentlemen Other universities are called modern or provincial They are located in large centers of industry There are no tutorial systems there These universities rely on lectures All universities charge fees which are rather high

Notes aid = assistance help tutorials = the system of individual training to charge fees = to get money for education

Exercise 1 Give Russian equivalents to the following word combinationsfairly new science faculty at the head of a staff of teachers to admit men and women within some universities to provide hostels an independent college self-governing institution substantial aid the local education authorities internal government tutorial system to charge fees

Exercise 2 Answer the questions to the text1 What is London University composed of2 Does university have faculties or departments3 What are faculties in English universities4 What do the departments include5 What do most universities provide for their students6 Are there many types of colleges in England7 What kinds of colleges are there in England8 In what do English Universities differ9 What is the number of students at British Universities10 How are other universities called11 What methods does university teaching combine

Exercise 3 Compare the organization of VSMU and that of English Universities indicating the main differences and similarities in their structural units and organization of educational process

29

Exercise 4 Read the following text and discuss it with your groupmates using as much information from the text as you can

The oldest and most famous universities in England are Oxford and Cambridge Oxford University was established in 1249 The choice of the small rural village of Oxford as a seat of learning was significant Far removed (неподверженный) from foreign influence Oxford was within comparatively easy reach of all parts of England Like London it is international because people from many parts of the world come to study at one of the twenty seven menrsquos colleges or at one of the five womenrsquos colleges that are the university They join the university ldquofamilyrdquo that has more than 9000 members The present facilities at Oxford include theology law English language and literature history humanities (гуманитарные дисциплины) social studies medicine physical and chemical science biological science

The first college at Cambridge Peterhouse was founded in 1284 and now there are twenty-four colleges A number of well-known scientists and writers among them Newton Darwin and Byron were educated in Cambridge

The organization system of the two universities differs from that of all other universities and colleges

The teachers are commonly called ldquodonsrdquo Part of the teaching is by means of lectures organized by the university Apart from lectures teaching is carried out by tutorial system for which these two universities have always been famous This is a system of individual tuition (обучение) organized by the colleges Each student goes to his tutorrsquos room once a week to read and discuss an essay which the student has prepared

Oxford and Cambridge are rather far from London and other large cities Therefore the students have to live in the university hostel or in a private room and the rent is very high Besides special fees are taken for books for laboratory work teaching aids etc Some students get scholarship but the number of these students is comparatively small

Pharmaceutical Education in Great Britain

The history of pharmaceutical education has closely followed that of medical education As the training of the physician underwent changes from the apprenticeship system to formal educational courses so did the training of the pharmacist The first pharmaceutical colleges in Great Britain were founded at the beginning of the nineteenth century

The course of instruction leading to a degree in pharmacy was extended from four to five years in 1960 The first and frequently the second year of training embracing general education subjects are often provided by a school of arts and sciences Many institutions in addition offer graduate courses in pharmacy and cognate sciences leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in pharmacy pharmacology or related disciplines These advanced courses are intended especially for those who are preparing for careers in research manufacturing or teaching in the field of pharmacy

Several schools of pharmacy have now adopted a six-year professional course leading to the degree of Doctor of Pharmacy This professional training includes many subjects common to the medical curriculum and involves training in hospital wards In this service a professionally trained pharmacist is expected to give advice to the physician in the techniques of administering medication and possible interaction of drugs in the patient along with expected side effectsSince the treatment of the sick with drugs encompasses a wide field of knowledge in the biological and physical sciences it is obvious that understanding of these sciences is necessary for adequate pharmaceutical training The basic five-year curriculum in British colleges of pharmacy embraces physics chemistry biology bacteriology physiology pharmacology and many other specialized courses such as dispensing pharmacy As the pharmacist is engaged in business as well special training is provided in merchandising accounting computer techniques and pharmaceutical jurisprudence All other countries requiring licenses to practice offer the same basic curriculum with minor variations

Before one is permitted to practice pharmacy in Great Britain as well as in other countries in which a license is required an applicant must be qualified by graduation from a recognized college of pharmacy meet specific requirements for experience and pass an examination conducted by a board of pharmacy appointed by the government The passing of this board examination carries with it the legal right to practise pharmacy The holder is then designated a registered or licensed pharmacist

THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHARMACY

Pharmacy is defined as the art and science of recognizing identifying collecting selecting preparing storing testing compounding and dispensing all substances used in preventive or in curative medicine for treating people The word ldquopharmacyrdquo comes from the Greek word pharmakon which in the modern language means ldquoa drugrdquo To the Greeks it was associated with a god or higher being who had the power of affecting people with herbs infusions etc

Pharmacy was born in old time when human being started to search for remedies for treatment of the ailments First pharmacies in Europe appeared in 1100 in monasteries Monks prepared remedies and supplied them to all needy free of charge At the same time first prescriptions were created and they were started with the words ldquoGood luckrdquo 100 years later first city pharmacies were opened in Venice Specialists for those pharmacies were prepared in accordance to widely acceptable methods of those times pupil ndash apprentice ndash master This preparation chain took 10-15 years (depending on the abilities of each person) The monks created schools and laboratories in monasteries The earliest ever found Pharmacopoeia Articles for different medicines were created by monasteries scientists But Monkrsquos schools were unable to reach scientific opportunities proposed by popular universities in Oxford Salamanca Prague and other European cities So peak of prime of those universities fell on the 13-th century

Pharmacy as an independent branch of medicine was born in Europe in 1240 when the Emperor of Holy Rome separated pharmacy from medicine However there was no special pharmaceutical training at that time The duty of a pharmacist was to prepare and sell medicines and to help the doctor In Great Britain assistants to the physicians were called apothecaries

In the 15-th century first appeared the term ldquoprovisorrdquo (from Latin foreseeing predicting) that explains the importance of the role of the pharmacists in treatment process The doctor establishes diagnosis and the

58

pharmacist foresees the tendency of the disease and with the aid of proper medicines corrects and predetermines its course and further development First proper Pharmacopoeia was published in 1581 in Spain

Much time went till pharmacy became a profession and creation of special medical establishments were found necessary Hundreds of private schools were opened in Europe that often were headed or owned by the pharmacists

In 1623 the apothecaries opened a manufacturing laboratory which produced galenical preparations This was necessary in their opinion because the drugs sold were often adulterated The laboratory was a great success and by 1671 it developed into a real chemical plant The apothecaries had the right to dispense medicines

Practices of giving education to the pharmacists within Universities were first introduced in France and England at the beginning of the 19-th century The education was oriented on gaining knowledge and practical skills in manufacture and use of the medicines But later educational courses started to include more theoretical subjects It was connected to the fact that during following decades pharmacies gradually lost manufacturing functions and were more concentrated on sales of medicines and advice to the patients

In Russia pharmacy as a branch of science started its development since the decree of Peter I in the 18-th century According to the decree pharmacists got special training at the hospital chemistsrsquo and private chemistsrsquo Some of them had practice at the chemistsrsquo orchards (gardens) The pupils studied botany and had practice of pharmacy at the hospital chemistsrsquo At the end of their study they had an examination for the title of a pharmacist and chemist-assistant

Pharmacy is now made possible by organized pharmaceutical education pharmaceutical research and pharmaceutical industry

ФАРМАЦЕВТИЧЕСКОЕ ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ В ИЗРАИЛЕ

60

На фармацевтов в Израиле учат всего в двух местах в Еврейском университете в Иерусалиме который считается главным в стране а также на факультете Беер-Шевского университета в Южном округе Израиля Поступить в университет очень сложно поступить на фармацевтический факультет ndash практически невозможно Люди закончившие школу сдают экзамен на аттестат зрелости (school-leaving certificate) Помимо этого есть некоторые предметы (математика физика химия биология и английский) которые можно изучать на повышенном уровне (advanced level) Также для поступления в израильский университет необходимо сдать единый (unified) экзамен ndash laquoпсихометриюraquo Она включает тест с вопросами общего характера из разных предметов школьной программы тест по математике английскому языку и грамматике иврита Для того чтобы поступить на фармацевта надо набрать 700 баллов по психометрии и иметь средний балл аттестата не менее 90-95 что является крайне жестким (stringent severe) критерием отбора Поэтому большинство израильтян едут учиться в Европу Лидерами по обучению молодых специалистов являются Каунас в Литве и Будапешт в Венгрии Как правило на фармацевта учатся 3-4 года (первая степень бакалавр) Уже с первой степенью по фармацевтике в Израиле можно работать фармацевтом что довольно необычно тк по другим специальностям надо отучиться как минимум на вторую степень магистра

Большинство фармацевтов получив степень бакалавра сразу же идут учиться на вторую степень подрабатывая на полставки (part-time job) Вторая степень выполняется в какой-либо лаборатории и связана с выполнением небольшой научной работы вроде того что у нас называется laquoписать дипломraquo Это занимает еще года два По закону любой фармацевт обязан получить лицензию (get a licence) на работу в Израиле по специальности Те кто оканчивают университет в Израиле сдают формальный экзамен Те кто учились за границей имеют возможность пройти специальный полугодичный курс организованный министерством здравоохранения Курс включает занятия по анатомии физиологии органической химии биохимии технологии а также английскому языку

КАК СТАТЬ АПТЕКАРЕМ В КАНАДЕ

Работу фармацевтов и продажу лекарств в Канаде контролирует Канадская фармацевтическая ассоциация Большинство фармацевтов Канады (80) работают в розничных (retail) аптеках Около 15 фармацевтов работают в госпитальных аптеках а остальные ndash в

61

фармакологических ассоциациях компаниях или консультационных фирмах Как правило для работы фармацевтом необходимо иметь диплом бакалавра фармацевтики одного из канадских университетов пройти практику в интернатуре или поработать в качестве практиканта непосредственно в аптеке а затем сдать национальный квалификационный экзамен В Канаде фармацевтов готовят в 9 университетах Программа обучения рассчитана на 4 года после этого студенты в течение года проходят практику в аптеке и далее следует 6 месяцев обучения в интернатуре В некоторых провинциях диплома бакалавра для работы в аптеке вполне достаточно и дальнейшее обучение уже не требуется

In the chemical laboratory

The chemical laboratory is a place where you can perform in actual the different reactions that you had learnt in the books or heard in lectures The students of the pharmaceutical faculty often have practical classes in chemistry in the chemical laboratory There they carry out various experiments work with different chemical substances

The chemical laboratory consists of several rooms a room for storing the necessary substances a room for recording the obtained findings and a room for washing laboratory vessels These rooms are large and light well ventilated because chemists often work with harmful substances that have a strong and unpleasant odor

A good chemical laboratory is fully equipped with the basic measuring and analytical apparatuses that allow a good study of all the branches of chemistry However all experiments should be performed under the supervision of the lab instructor only

The laboratory is equipped with special tables which are higher than usual ones On each of the tables one can see shelves and racks with

78

laboratory vessels and glassware of all kinds some of them are empty while others contain the reagents

The most widely used reagents which are available at every laboratory are acids (nitric sulphuric and hydrochloric) alkali (ammonium solution potassium solution sodium solution) oxides inorganic salts indicators (phenolphthalein methylene green)

Reagents which are used in large amounts are supplied in big boxes or bottles Reagents which are seldom used are supplied in amounts up to 10 or 11g or even less

The most common and widely used equipment is that made of glass With glassware it is easy to spot what is happening inside The laboratory vessels and glassware are divided into three groups glassware for general use glassware for special use and glassware for measuring Glassware for general use includes test-tubes funnels flasks of different shape and size retorts etc Special glassware includes things necessary for carrying out different analyses For example special vessels for determination of molecular weights for the determination of melting- and boiling-points etc The glassware for measuring includes graduated cylinders burettes graduated flasks measuring glasses pipettes and others Burettes are used for very accurate measurements of volumes as in volumetric analysis Volumetric flasks are used to measure specific volumes accurately especially for preparing solutions in quantitative analysis Pipettes provide a means for greatest accuracy in measuring volume Thermometers and pipettes are essential equipment for many chemistry laboratories There are the standard lab thermometers for traditional measurements or the digital instruments for very accurate and easy recording of temperature or pH level The simplest and most common of all is a liquid thermometer Mercury is a particularly suitable liquid because of its high boiling point ndash +35725degC and its low solidifying-point ndash -39degC The mercury thermometer is more accurate than the alcohol one Graduated pipettes allow for very accurate liquid measurements A balance is used to measure out small amounts of chemicals

Laboratory heating equipment is used to generate the heat required to effect a reaction or a separation The broad range of heating equipment can be divided into two broad categories steam-heated devices and electrically heated devices

There are many types of materials that are not basic but are not less important than basic They are called laboratory or lab accessories They may include pullout shelves lipped shelves laboratory stands clamps stopcocks or laboratory stoppers

The laboratory stands are used to hold test tubes beakers etc Laboratory clamps are used to hold the apparatus

The work in the chemical laboratory requires cleanliness It is necessary to keep the working place clean Glass tubes vessels bottles

Exercise 8 Read the text ldquoTHERMOMETER SCALESrdquo and say1 What thermometer scales were established 2 Who proposed them 3 What was taken as limits 4 What limits are for each of the scales

THERMOMETER SCALES

The concept of temperature variation dates from antiquity although early measurements were based solely on the subjective sense of touch Touch is only capable of detecting temperature differences between objects it cannot provide quantitative temperature data For example you may be able to tell if a person has a fever by placing a hand on his forehead (лоб) but exactly how high is the fever That question requires quantitative data our senses can mislead us but a thermometer can give us that data Gabriel Fahrenheit (German 1686-1736) devised (придумывать изобретать) the Fahrenheit scale the oldest common temperature scale in about 1714 (Prior to this Galileo Galilei had invented an open tube thermometer in about 1593) One of Fahrenheit`s innovation was to use mercury (ртуть) which made the liquid column easy to see Previously people had had difficulty sealing mercury-containing tubes Fahrenheit established his temperature scale by selecting reference points (ориентиры) he could reproduce He designated (обозначать) a freezing ice-snow-salt-water mixture as 0degF because this was the lowest temperature he

82

could create in his workshop Several stories purport (иметь целью) to explain his selection of the reference point for 100degF my favorite is that he selected the body temperature of a cow a measurement that interested him and others in the agricultural community Starting with these primary reference points Fahrenheit determined values of 32degF for the freezing point and 212degF for the boiling point of water Anders Celsius (Swedish astronomer 1701-1744) developed a different thermometer scale in 1742 Celsius designated the freezing and boiling points of water as 0degC and 100degC respectively His scale was originally called the Сentigrade scale because centi means 1100th part and the reference points span 100 degrees The Celsius scale has been adopted worldwide and is the official metric temperature scale The third temperature scale was the invention of Englishman Lord Kelvin (born William Thompson 1824-1907) Lord Kelvin devised his scale in 1848 It is identical to the Celsius scale but all temperatures are 273 degrees higher Thus the freezing point of water is 273 degrees K the boiling point 373 degrees K This thermometer scale was derived from (устанавливать выводить) observation of gases

Exercise 9 Translate the following passage using a dictionary

The microscope

1 The most important single piece of apparatus in a laboratory is the microscope and it must be used and cared for accordingly 2 It is used to magnify and to make visible to the eye very small bodies such as bacteria the eggs of intestinal parasites and the material found in urine sediments 3 A simple microscope is nothing more than a single magnifying lens 4 A compound microscope which is the type used in medical laboratories consists of a number of such lenses arranged in line so as to give a very great magnification 5 Complete and detailed descriptions of microscopes may be found in all books on laboratory work 6 Before attempting to use a microscope for the first time one should read over a description of its parts and their functions in order to adjust the light and the lenses properly 7 There are a few important things to keep in mind regarding its use and they are never leave the microscope exposed to direct sunlight excessive heat or splashing water never use ether alcohol or xylol to clean it never pick it up by any of the movable parts never leave immersion oil on the lens or objective as it is called but wipe it off immediately after use with a fine soft

Chemistry an experimental science

Chemistry deals with all substances that make up our environment It also deals with the changes that take place in these substances ndash changes that make the differences between a cold and lifeless planet and one that teems with life and growth Chemistry helps us understand and benefit from naturersquos wondrous ways

Chemistry is an important part of science Since every phase of our daily life is affected by the fruits of scientific activity everyone should know what scientific activity is what it can do and how it works The study of chemistry helps you learn these things The most enjoyable part of chemistry is experimentation Unifying principles are developed with the laboratory work providing the basis for the development To see these principles grow out of observations you have made in the laboratory gives you a valid picture of how all scientific advances begin It permits you to engage in scientific activity and to start becoming a scientist yourself

Most of the students will not become scientists But all of you live in a world greatly influenced by science You will read the newspapers about many scientific advances and sometimes you will be asked to vote on important technical subjects You will be asked to consider the effect of aerosol sprays on the earthrsquos atmosphere cancer-producing chemicals in water supplies the bad effects of industrial wastes and the advantages and possible dangers of nuclear power production All these are important problems that require two major efforts First scientists must collect enough good information so that the real danger and possible solutions are known Second a political decision has to be made about what society wants Every citizen should be involved in the second effort For this reason it is important to understand how scientists go about solving problems To understand the world a scientist 1 Makes experiments and gathers information through observation 2 Organizes this information and looks for regularities 3 Wonders why the regularities exist 4 Communicates the findings to others

These are the basic activities of science Observation is the starting point Observation is most useful when the conditions which affect the observation are controlled carefully A condition is controlled when it is fixed known and can be varied deliberately All science is built upon the

84

results of experiments performed under controlled conditions Regularities provide an efficient way to summarize the results of many experiments and also allow us to predict the results of experiments that we have not carried out before The fourth activity of science is the most important one of all It is only through communicating ideas to others that a strong framework can be provided for science Experimental results must be confirmed and explanations must be tested by others If it were not for this aspect of science each generation of scientists would have to start from the beginning

Part V Rendering

Read the following information and render it into English

ВЫБИРАЕМ ТЕРМОМЕТР

Измерить температуру у ребенка ndash задача не из легких Не удивительно что современные модели термометров которые позволяют измерить температуру буквально за секунду пользуются таким спросом

И все же несмотря на все достижения науки и техники старые ртутные (mercury) термометры остаются самыми точными (accurate) и самыми дешевыми И к великому сожалению самыми опасными (dangerous) особенно когда речь идет о детях Разбить хрупкий (fragile) стеклянный корпус (coating) ничего не стоит но избавиться (dispose)

88

потом от ртутных шариков мгновенно зная что испарения (evaporation) этого металла смертоносны (fatal) - очень сложно Кроме того чтобы достоверно узнать температуру ртутный термометр нужно держать под мышкой (under the armpit) (или в анальном отверстии (anus)) не менее пяти минут а то и все десять

Цифровые (digital) термометры ndash другое дело Потребуется (it will take) всего лишь 3 минуты чтобы измерить (to take) температуру а для некоторых людей даже полторы Наряду с этим замечательным преимуществом (advantage) они обладают массой дополнительных возможностей (additional functions) запоминают предыдущие (previous) значения температуры (readings) звуком сообщают о готовности к работе и о том что градусники пора вынимать (get out of) автоматически выключаются (switch off) и зачастую снабжены подсветкой (illumination) чтобы использовать прибор ночью не доставляя неудобств (disturb) другим членам семьи

Для самых маленьких пациентов изобрели термометр-соску (soother) К сожалению показания такого термометра могут быть не очень точными (accurate) особенно если малыш плачет или дышит (breathe) ртом

Еще одно полезное изобретение ndash цифровой индикатор Но индикатор ndash он и есть индикатор то есть дает приблизительные (approximate) данные (data) о температуреСамые удобные модели ndash ушные (aural) инфракрасные термометры Одно плохо ndash эта почти фантастическая новинка отличается и фантастически высокой ценой (high price)Part VI Speaking

Exercise 1 Read and say which of the following statements are interpretations rather than observationsa) Gases are made of tiny particles in random (беспорядочный) motionb) Gases fill their containerc) A gas can be compressedd) Some gases are colorede) The particles that make up a gas are far apart

Exercise 2 Comment on the following Make use of the introductory phrasesIn my opinion As far as I know I believesuppose It is said that1 Chemists often function as detectives with molecules as their suspect

Each molecule can be identified by its own unique behavior2 To learn the nature of chemistry is possible only through your own

experience

Chemical elements and compounds

An element is a pure substance containing only one kind of atom When two distinct elements are chemically combined the result is termed a compound

The term element was first used by the Greek philosopher Plato in about 360 BC Plato believed that the elements introduced a century earlier

106

by Empedocles were composed of small polyhedral forms tetrahedron (fire) octahedron (air) icosahedrons (water) and cube (earth)There are 118 elements known today Some elements occur pure in nature and have been known for thousands of years Elements like iron silver gold mercury lead tin and sulphur were known to the ancients They were given Latin names by the early chemists For example iron was called ferrum silver was called argentum and gold was called aurum

The first modern list of chemical elements was given in Antoine Lavoisierrsquos 1789 Elements of chemistry which contained thirty-three elements including light and caloric During the 19 th century there was an increase in the number of elements discovered as chemists began to adopt quantitative methods Dmitri Mendeleev had sixty-six elements in his periodic table of 1869 By the end of the 19th century 81 elements had been known Almost twice as many elements were discovered in the 20th century as were discovered up to that time Credit for proof of elemental character goes to scientists in England France Sweden Germany Portugal and the United States Three of those scientists were Marie Skladovska Curie (radium polonium) Maquerite Perey (francium) and Ida Tacke (rhenium)

Each element has a name and has been given a shortened symbol of one or two letters The element carbon is symbolized by the letter C the element neon by letter Ne Ten of the elements have symbols derived from the capitalized first letter of the Latin name of the element and if necessary by a second letter Other elements have symbols that can be derived from their English names

But now letrsquos consider a substance like water Water can be identified by its properties colour taste melting and boiling temperatures and ability to dissolve sugar and salt A demonstration of electrolysis can easily show that water can be changed into other substances hydrogen gas and oxygen gas Since water can be decomposed into two other substances water must contain at least two kinds of atoms Water is a compound

Sugar is another substance that you know One property of sugar is its sweetness Another property is that it dissolves in water Still another is the way it behaves when heated Under definite temperature sugar not only begins to melt to a liquid but it also begins to decompose Sugar can be decomposed to form water and charcoal in definite amounts Sugar is a compound

Actually there is a set of characteristics called properties that characterize each substance Chemists sometimes speak about chemical changes and physical changes Physical changes do not mean a change in the composition of a substance For example breaking freezing melting boiling and deforming a substance such as lead are considered physical changes A chemical change or chemical reaction however changes the composition and characteristic or special properties of a substance

107

Note almost twice as many elements ndash почти в два раза больше элементов

Exercise 1 Translate the following word combinationsTo dissolve sugar and salt to adopt quantitative methods a set of characteristics under definite temperature to dissolve in water to produce in definite amounts to identify the substance by its properties to derive the name from melting and boiling temperatures to consider a substance elements occurring in nature

Exercise 2 Insert instead of gaps the proper words from the text1 The term ldquoelementrdquo was first introduced by hellip 2 By the end of the 19 th

century elements had been known 3 There are hellip elements known today 4 Elements like hellip hellip hellip hellip hellip and hellip were known to the ancient people 5 Iron was called hellip silver was called hellip and gold was called hellip in ancient times 6 The first modern list of chemical elements was given by hellip 7 Radium and polonium were discovered by Polish scientist hellip in 1898 8 Francium was discovered by hellip in 1939 9 Ida Tacke a German scientist discovered hellip in 1925

Exercise 3 Define the following notions1 An element 2 A compound 3 A periodic table 4 A physical change 5 A chemical reaction 6 Sugar 7 WaterExercise 4 Answer the following questions1 Who was the first to use the term ldquoelementrdquo 2 What is an element according to the current definition 3 What is a compound 4 What names did ancients give to such elements as iron silver and gold 5 What languages are chemical names of elements based on 6 Why was there an increase in the number of elements discovered in the 19th century 7 The scientists of what countries contributed to the discovery of elements Give their names 8 What is the most convenient and the most traditional presentation of elements 9 How can water be identified 10 In what way can one prove that water is a compound 11 What are the main properties of sugar 12 What is the product of decomposition of sugar under definite temperature 13 Are heating freezing melting boiling and deforming chemical or physical changes 14 What is a chemical change

108

Exercise 5 Make up the outline to the text and speak about chemical elements and compounds according to it

Exercise 6 Read the following passages and translate them with the help of a dictionary

PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS

As chemists discovered new elements they also discovered that certain elements behave in a similar manner Beginning in the mid-1800rsquos several chemists suggested ways to organize the known elements into a periodic table so that those with similar properties would be grouped together Chief among these researchers were Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev a Russian chemist and the German chemist Julius Lotcher Meyer DI Mendeleev developed a form of a periodic law a basic principal in chemistry His law states that the properties of chemical elements reoccur in regular pattern when the elements are arranged according to their atomic weight Mendeleevrsquos work together with that of Meyerrsquos led to the periodic table a systematic arrangement of the elements

In 1869 Mendeleev proposed his arrangements of the elements in order of increasing atomic weight and according to similarity in properties Mendeleevrsquos table has blank spaces for unknown elements Later using the periodic law he predicted the properties of these unknown elements His predictions were confirmed by the discovery between 1875 and 1886 of three elements with these properties Mendeleev also discovered the phenomenon of critical temperature the temperature at which a gas or vapour may be liquefied by pressure

Turning the Table on Refrigerants

The Freon compounds that are used to absorb heat in refrigerators and air conditioners were discovered in 1937 by Thomas Midgley an American chemist The following is his description of how the periodic table was usedldquoWhat was wanted was obvious ndash a nontoxic nonflammable refrigerant The desired combination of properties was a boiling point between Odeg and - 40degC stability nontoxicity and nonflammability I decided to bring into play the Periodic Table Perhaps volatility could be related to it some way It takes but a fraction of a second to see this is true The elements on the right-hand side of the Periodic table are the only ones which make compounds sufficiently volatile for the purpose in hand In fact only a certain number of these elements need to be considered Volatile compounds of boron silicon phosphorus arsenic antimony bismuth selenium tellurium and iodine are all too unstable and toxic to consider Now look at the remaining elements ndash

109

carbon nitrogen oxygen fluorine sulphur chlorine and bromine Every refrigerant used has been made from combinations of these elements Flammability decreases from left to right Toxicity usually decreases from the heavy elements at the bottom to lighter elements at the top These two trends focus on fluorine It was an exciting deduction Seemingly no one previously had considered it possible that fluorine might be nontoxic in some of its compoundsrdquo

Numerous Freons are now made to provide useful kinds of refrigerators air conditioners and freezers for preparing or storing foods

Chemical elements of living matter

1 Living matter contains about one-third of the elements of the Mendeleyev Periodic Table Only hydrogen carbon nitrogen and iodine are found in higher concentrations in the human body than in the earth Six other elements are found in roughly the same proportions oxygen phosphorus sulphur chlorine potassium and calcium 2 Besides hydrogen oxygen is the element present in the human body in the greatest amount It constitutes about 65 of the total (by weight) amountMost amount of oxygen is combined with hydrogen as water ndash the most abundant compound of the human body constituting 45 to 75 by weight Water itself is essential to keep the body hydrated but it also plays an absolutely vital role in respiration The exact amount depends principally on age sex and build relatively infants have more than adults men more than women There may also be considerable differences between healthy and ill people and the water content of the body may be affected by drugs3 Carbon is the second most abundant element found inside the human body Carbon is excreted from the body in the form of carbon dioxide which is a waste product of respiration Carbon is also the main component of glucose and other sugars The unique nature of living matter is due to its organic constituents ie compounds based on a carbon chain 4 There are some important organic chemicals usually ions that are essential to health For example calcium and phosphorus for the teeth and bones and iron is essential in the hemoglobin of the blood transporting the oxygen throughout the bodySodium potassium and chlorine ions deserve special emphasis because they regulate the electrolyte equilibrium in the blood and body tissues and help maintain proper fluid balance inside and outside the cells This balance is

110

controlled primarily by the Na+K+ ion ratio which ideally is 06 Potassium is the major cation within cells the 19 to 56 gday requirements must be replenished since the ion is excreted in the urine Na+K+ deficiency is fairly common in people using a diuretic to control body fluids The Na+ (1-2gday) and Cl- (17-51 gday) requirements are usually easy to meet since most foods contain NaCl in fact the average Na+ intake in the United States is about 10 gday between five and ten times the amount needed Excess sodium intake may contribute to hypertension or high blood pressure5 Phosphorus is another very important mineral One of its functions involves energy production Other important ions occurring in living matter besides those formed from organic acids and bases are bicarbonate ammonium phosphate and sulphate The bony skeleton and the teeth contain lithium fluoride as well Additional important compounds include carbon dioxide and oxygen

TOXIC SUBSTANCES IN MANrsquoS ENVIRONMENT

1 Read the title of the text and say what it is about2 Name some toxic substances known to you3 Say whether

a) you have ever been in contact with any toxic substance (s)b) you know how to act in case of poisoning

4 Read the text and formulate its main idea

112

The human body is a complex system of chemical compounds When an excessive amount of a single element or compound occurs in the body toxic reactions can be expected

Sometimes chemicals present in small amounts affect the biochemical functions of the body Lethal doses are usually expressed in milligrams (mg of substance per kilogram (kg) weight of the subject) For example cyanide ion (CN-) is generally fatal to human in doses of 1 mg of CN - per kg of body weight For a 200-pound person 000032 ounce of cyanide is a lethal dose Examples of somewhat less toxic substances and the probable lethal doses for an average person are morphine 1-50 mg per kg aspirin 50-500 mg per kg methyl alcohol 05-5 g per kg ethyl alcohol 5-15 g per kg

Substances we take in through food and water or through the air we breathe may influence our health While some substances are harmful others can be beneficial eg fluoride preventing caries water disinfectants killing germs etc

Lets consider such toxic substances as arsenic fluorides and mercury

ARSENIC 1 Where is arsenic formed

Arsenic is found in the natural environment About one third of the arsenic in the atmosphere comes from natural sources and the rest comes from man-made sources

The amounts of arsenic found in living animals plants and microbes vary 2 What are the ways of arsenic exposure

Humans are exposed mainly through food water and cigarette smoking Food is usually the largest source Arsenic is one of many hundreds of chemicals present in cigarette smoke The quantities of arsenic breathed in by non-smokers are very small except in industrially polluted areas Smokers inhale more because arsenic is one of many hundreds of chemicals present in cigarette smoke

Many arsenic compounds are quickly transformed and eliminated from the body via the urine 3 What are the effects of arsenic exposure

Many parts of the body may be affected by arsenic including the skin gut (кишка) lungs heart blood vessels immune system urinary system reproductive organs and the nervous system

Long-term exposure to high levels of arsenic in drinking water can cause thickening and pigment spots in the skin and cancer of the skin lungs bladder or kidney

FLUORIDES

113

1 What are fluorides Fluorides are organic and inorganic compounds containing the

fluorine element Generally colourless the different fluoride compounds are more or

less soluble in water and can take the form of a solid liquid or gasThese are important industrial chemicals with a number of uses but the largest fluorides uses are for aluminum production drinking water fluoridation and the manufacture of fluoridated dental preparations 2 How are humans exposed to fluorides

Food and drinking water typically contain at least small amounts of fluorides

In drinking water fluoride can either be naturally present or artificially added for the prevention of dental caries

All foodstuffs contain at least small amounts of fluoride Humans retain 60 to 90 of the fluoride taken in and accumulate almost all of it in their bones and teeth 3 What effects have actually been seen in humans

Fluoride can help prevent cavities but as the amount taken in increases it can also harm teeth (dental fluorosis) and bones (skeletal fluorosis) MERCURY1 What is mercury

Mercury is a chemical element with symbol Hg It is a silver-coloured metal and unlike any other metal it is a liquid at room temperature It flows so easily and rapidly that it is sometimes called quicksilver

Mercury compounds have uses in agriculture and industry Mercury however is extremely poisonous and can cause illness or death After many people realized its dangers industries and government agencies began trying to reduce the amount of mercury reaching the environment

2 What are the main uses of mercuryMercury has many properties (qualities) that make it useful For

example mercury expands and contracts evenly when heated or cooled It also remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures These properties have prompted its use in thermometers

3 What compounds does mercury form Can they be useful for people

Chemists divide mercury compounds into two groups (1) mercurous and (2) mercuric Mercurous compounds include mercurous chloride (Hg2Cl2) also called calomel and mercurous sulphate (Hg2SO2) Calomel is an antiseptic used to kill bacteria Scientists use mercurous sulphate to speed up certain tests on organic compounds

Mercuric compounds include mercuric chloride (HgCl2) a powerful poison that surgeons once used to disinfect wounds Several organic

114

mercuric compounds have important medical uses For example diuretics which doctors use to treat kidney disease contain these compounds The antiseptic Mercurochrome is also a mercuric compound

4 What effect may mercury have on plants animals and the environment

Mercury in the environment is harmful chiefly because its poisonous compounds have been found in plants and animals that people use for food Scientists have discovered poisonous mercury compounds in such foods as eggs fish grain and meat Mercury acts as a cumulative poison ndash that is the body has difficulty eliminating it Thus it may collect over a long time eventually reaching dangerous levels

Among the most dangerous mercury compounds are those containing methyl mercury They can damage brain cells

ounce ndash унция (= 28 г) cavity ndash полость впадина

Exercise 1 Read the following sentences and ask your groupmates the questions to which the given sentence will be the answers1 Some substances are harmful for the organism (What hellip)2 Fluoride can be beneficial in preventing caries (What substance hellip)3 About ⅓ of the arsenic in the atmosphere comes from natural sources

ТАБЛИЦА МЕНДЕЛЕЕВА В ОРГАНИЗМЕ

О том что в организмах содержатся металлы было известно давно Однако их исключительное значение для живой природы открылось на стыке наук физики биологии химии и медицины

В организме человека как и в водах Мирового океана находятся все элементы таблицы Менделеева Даже такой редкий и радиоактивный металл как уран хотя количество его ничтожно мало ndash всего 000009 грамма

Распределяются (distribute) элементы в нашем организме неравномерно (unevenly) Каждому органу в зависимости от выполняемой функции свойственны определенные химические

118

элементы в необходимых концентрациях Наибольшее их количество накапливается в печени (liver) В плазме крови (blood plasma) и в волосах химические элементы содержатся в незначительных количествах

Все химические элементы нашего организма подразделяются на две неравные группы Первая группа ndash макроэлементы В неё входят 10 незаменимых элементов калий натрий кальций железо медь магний молибден кобальт цинк и марганец Вторую группу ndash микроэлементов ndash составляют все оставшиеся элементы В здоровом организме и макро- и микроэлементы сбалансированы

Нарушение баланса микроэлементов влечет за собой изменение функции (disfunction) в дальнейшем и морфологической структуры клетки органа организма вызывая различные заболевания в том числе и онкологические

В крови больных ишемией (ischemia) и инфарктом (infarct) например обнаружены повышенные концентрации марганца и никеля но ndash дефицит магния кальция меди железа и бария Для нормального сердечного ритма (heart rate) необходимо достаточное поступление в организм именно кальция и магния что обеспечивает правильный электролитический обмен

Недостаток цинка селена и хрома указывает на пониженный иммунитет Дефицит магния и избыток (excess) натрия влияют на уровень артериального давления (arterial pressure)

ЙОДДефицит его в организме вызывает гипотиреоз (hypothyrosis) так

как йод принимает участие в выработке тиреоидина (thyroidin) Недостаток тиреоидина ведет к нарушению интеллектуального и физического здоровья Дефицит йода вызывает необратимые нарушения у новорожденных умственную отсталость (mental retardation) кретинизм (cretinism) олигофрению (oligophrenia)

Исследования последних лет в разных странах мира показали что в регионах с выраженным йодным дефицитом средние показатели умственного развития снижаются на 15-20 По мнению ВОЗ недостаток йода является самой распространенной (widespread) формой умственной отсталости которую можно предупредить (prevent)

Дефицит йода в Беларуси пытаются предупредить добавлением к пищевой соли йодистого калия 25 граммов на (per) тонну соли Срок хранения такой соли не более 4-х месяцев так как йод улетучивается (evaporate)

Какая-то часть дефицита йода восполняется за счет овощей и фруктов Значительное количество йода содержится в чесноке (garlic) свекле Много ndash в субтропических плодах фейхоа Но особенно богаты им все морепродукты

119

Выделяется (eliminate) йод из организма преимущественно через почки (kidneys) ndash до 80 а также через молочные (mammary) слюнные (salivary) и потовые железы (sweat glands) частично с желчью (bile)

amounts3 Certain organisms may accumulate considerable amounts of elements that

do not occur in the human body4 Not only chemical elements are considered as toxic5 Chemical substances affect the human body in different ways6 Elements may serve man in his everyday life

Exercise 6 Extend the idea Express your point of view Use the following phrases I thinkfeel that hellip As far as I know hellip My point of view is hellip 1 Chemists sometimes speak about chemical changes and physical changes2 Nearly all elements on or in the earth are found combined with other

elements3 Artificially combined elements are not plentiful all of them are

radioactive

Exercise 7 Prepare a talk about chemical elements using the following points as an outline1 Periodic table of elements as the first natural classification of chemical

MEDICINAL HERBSI

The principal parts of a plant are 1) the root system 2) the stems and leaves 3) the reproductive part made up of flowers fruits or seeds The roots grow downward into the soil and have two main functions ndash to absorb plant nutrients and water from the soil and to anchor the plant As to stems and leaves they are usually above the ground The food used in growth by green plants is manufactured in the leaves from the raw materials taken from the soil and air This process is known as photosynthesis To support the leaves and to connect them with the roots are the main functions of the stem A flower is the part of the plant where seeds are produced Thus to produce seeds the plant must have flowersHerbal medicine also called botanical medicine or phytomedicine refers to using plants seeds fruits roots leaves bark or flowers for medicinal purposes Plants that give drugs have both active substances the so-called primary plant products and inactive substances the so-called secondary products The constituents and active principles vary in quantity at different seasons of the year and the majority of plant materials are usually best collected during the dry season when the herbs are at peak maturity and concentration Roots and rhizomes Best collected from October to February when the plants are more vigorously storing food in their underground organsLeaves The most opportune time is when the plant is about to bloom

135

Flowers Best collected in the time of pollination Buds are preferred collected in the morning after the morning dew has evaporated flowers just before or shortly after opening Dry the herbal materials as quickly as possibleBark materials and stems Generally best gathered in summer time as the bark of any plant usually contains richer nutritive substances including the medicinal metabolites Fruits and seeds Fully ripened fruits and mature seeds are preferred Turn the fleshy fruit frequently for even dryingWhole plant When the whole plant is desired it is advisable to harvest the plant at the time when the flowers are all in bloom

IIThe moisture content of the dried plant materials should be less than 10 before storageThe dried plant materials should be placed in plastic containers or tightly covered bottles The storage place should be dry well-ventilated and spacious Drug materials can be kept on large open wooden shelves The odour of a drug of plant origin may be distinct or indistinct depending upon the amount of volatile constituents the drug possesses It is described as aromatic balsamic spicy camphorous etc When it is difficult to compare the odour with other substances it is described as characteristicAccording to taste substances may be classified into four groups1 Those possessing a true taste such as acid sweet alkaline bitter2 Those possessing no taste and thus are tasteless3 Those possessing a characteristic odour which gives name to the so-

called ldquotasterdquo They may be grouped broadly into those which are agreeable or pleasant (aromatic balsamic spicy) and disagreeable or unpleasant (alliaceous camphorous etc)

4 Those giving certain sensation to the tongue (mucilaginous oily astringent pungent acrid nauseous)

NATURErsquoS MEDICINES

1 Without plants there would be no life on Earth In ancient times plants played a vital role in healing and many are still used by the modern pharmaceutical industry2 The Assyrians and Egyptians the early civilized people started cultivating plants By the seventh century they had produced a systematically arranged list of medicinal plants In China medical authorities recognize the medical properties of more than 5800 plants They classified the medicinal effects of the plants on the various parts of the body and then tested them to determine their toxicity what dosages would be lethal etc For example cassia bark is warming in nature and is useful in treating colds Mint is cooling in nature and is used to relieve the symptoms of illness resulting from heat factors 3 One of the most widely used plants that was known to man 5000 years ago is garlic It is well known that garlic is therapeutically useful for the following purposes it is a powerful agent in preventing diphtheria typhus tuberculosis pneumonia it is useful in all respiratory infections especially in symptoms of a dry hacking cough in colds asthma and bronchitis and in many other cases It is also an excellent nerve tonic4 Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a popular alternative to commonly prescribed medications for sleep problems Unlike many prescription sleeping pills valerian may have fewer side effects such as morning drowsiness5 Clinical studies found that Echinacea supplements decreased the chance of getting a cold by 58 It also shortened the duration of a cold by 14 days 6 Used correctly herbs can help treat a variety of conditions and in some cases may have fewer side effects than some conventional medications But some herbs may cause allergic reactions and some are toxic if used improperly or at high doses Taking herbs on your own increases your risk so it is important to consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking herbal medicines

138

POISONOUS PLANTS

Poisonous plants when used in small or moderate amounts cause a harmful reaction resulting in illness or death Many ornamental plants such as oleander lilly-of-the-valley and mistletoe1 are poisonous Some plants contain both edible and poisonous parts potatoes and tomatoes are common plant foods but their green parts are poisonous

The poisonous compound may be distributed2 throughout all parts of the plant or it may accumulate in one part more than in any other such as the root or berry Every plant may vary in the amount of toxins it contains due to different growing conditions and slight variations in subspecies Certain plants however can be highly toxic when young and harmless later

Usually more than 60g of the poisonous part of the plant must be eaten by an average adult before poisonous results Some plants however are toxic in small amounts for instance one or two castor beans the seeds of castor-oil plant may kill a child

Poisonous plants cause painful skin irritations3 upon contact they cause internal poisoning when eaten and they poison through skin absorption or inhalation into the respiratory tract After ingestion4 the poison may act immediately on the digestive tract Symptoms of ingestion poisoning can include nausea vomiting diarrhea depressed heartbeat hallucinations dry mouth coma and death Some plants affect the heart (oleander) Plants containing alkaloids often produce unpleasant or dangerous reactions in the nervous system Examples are paralysis hallucinations or heart block A few poisons act directly within the cells of the body Cyanide for example prevents cells of the body from using oxygen

First aid in case of poisoningThe symptoms of poisoning depend on both the amount of poison

ingested and the individualrsquos reaction to the poison as every person has a different level of resistance to toxic substances

in the body If the victim is unconscious Place the victim in the recumbent

position14 Do not leave the victim alone Do not give the victim food or drink or induce vomiting

If the victim stops breathing give artificial resuscitation15 If poisoning is suspected a doctor should be consulted immediately

Belladonna

Belladonna is probably named in honour of Italians who made eye drops of the fresh juice to dilate their pupils and make them appear more alluring According to a medieval superstition witches used belladonna in their ceremonies to promote hallucinations and it was combined with aconite to produce the sensation of flying Gerard described the herb as ldquoa plant so furious and deadlyrdquo Belladonna has powerful sedative and narcotic properties mainly due to the presence of two poisonous crystalline alkaloids One of them atropine affects the autonomous nervous system Today ophthalmologists still use atropine to dilate the pupils and it also antidotes the nerve gas discharges from chemical weapons The other alkaloid is used as a sedative Belladonna extracts are used medicinally to treat ailments characterized by spasms including Parkinsonrsquos disease epilepsy asthma and whooping cough Atropine also controls mucous secretions and may be found in medications for colds and fever Homeopathically belladonna is prescribed for scarlet fever inflammations throbbing headaches and sore throats

All parts of plants are highly poisonous They should be taken only under medical supervision All parts of the fresh plants give off an unpleasant smell when bruised and are extremely poisonous Black berries contain a sweet inky juice that is deadly poison

CAMPHOR

Camphor chemical formula C10H12O is a substance that comes from the camphor tree The trees grow tall and have white flowers and green leaves Most grow in China and on the island of Taiwan

Camphor is produced by steaming wood chips from the camphor tree During this process camphor collects in an oily layer on the chips The oily substance is drained and pressed to remove the oil and water Camphor is then left in the form of whitish almost transparent crystals The crystals are usually purified by sublimation a process by which the camphor changes directly from a solid to a vapour leaving behind impurities Chemists now produce synthetic camphor in laboratories

Camphor is used in cosmetics lacquers and pharmaceuticals Spirits of camphor ndash mixture of 10 parts camphor 70 parts alcohol and 20 parts water ndash is a mild antiseptic Camphor is also combined with another compound to make camphorated parachlorophenol a germ-killing drug sometimes used in dental work Chemists use camphor to denature ethyl alcohol the type of

ЭТОТ ВКУСНЫЙ ШОКОЛАД

Ученые естественно не могли пройти мимо какао не попытавшись выявить в нем активное действующее начало В 1841 году адъюнкт Петербургского университета АА Введенский извлек (extracted) из какао-бобов новый алкалоид который назвал теобромином

Масло какао вот уже почти три века используется при изготовлении суппозиториев ndash лечебных свечей и шариков Теперь масло какао все больше используется для производства губной помады (for the manufacture of lipstick) а суппозитории все чаще готовятся из гидрогенизированного жира ndash бутирола

IN THE PHARMACY

Exercise 7 Read the following text and do the tasks which follow it

STORAGE OF DRUGS

1 There are strict legal requirements for the purchase (покупка) storage use identification dispensing and prescription of drugs

2 Many drugs are poisonous if taken accidentally or in excess (в избытке) others are caustic and may cause painful burns Some common sense precautions (из соображений здравого смысла) in storing drugs are to keep them well away from strong light heat pungent odors food and drinks to keep poisons up in a special poisons cabinet and to keep caustics on the lowest shelf where accidental spillage (случайно пролившаяся жидкость) cannot affect the eyes or burn the face

3 The condition of the drugs stored for long period depends generally on the conditions of storage over this period and in certain cases depends on the drugs themselves

4 Certain drugs will keep perfectly if they are stored in well closed containers in the dark and in a dry atmosphere at a moderate (умеренная) temperature On the other hand a drug such as digitalis even if it is stored under the most ideal conditions will have lost all its potency by the end of one year while other drugs will be all right even if they are stored under the most varied conditions for long periods (for ex the ampoules of strychnine or the capsules containing drug powders)

5 Some medical products need to be stored at a lower than ambient (окружающая) temperature to assure (обеспечивать) their quality and

163

efficacy These are often referred to as ldquocold chain productsrdquo or fridge linesrdquo They are to be stored and distributed in strict accordance with (в строгом соответствии) the product labeling requirements Some cold chain items such as vaccine insulin biotech products and products derived from (полученные) blood or plasma can be classified as high risk ones because they are at risk from freezing as well as elevated temperatures Other products for example chloramphenicol eye drops may be labeled as requiring storage between 2deg and 8degC but a short deviation from (отклонение) this temperature range presents less of danger to users

6 Stocks of drugs must be stored in accordance with manufacturerrsquos instructions and not kept beyond their expiry date (срок годности) Records of their purchase supply and expiry date must be kept for at least 11 years Any drugs which have passed their expiry date should be discarded (выбрасывать) together with any solutions which have become discolored or cloudy

Task 1 Pay attention to how the narration is structured and complete the gaps with the words and phrases from the box

a) stocks of drugsb) strict legal requirementsc) the expiry date d) cold chain products

e) poisons and causticsf) the condition g) storing h) examples

Paragraph 1 introduces the fact that there are __________ for buying storage use identification dispensing and prescription of medicines

Paragraph 2 describes some common sense precautions in storing ordinary medicines as well as __________

Paragraph 3 brings in factors on which __________ of storing drugs for a long period depends on

Paragraph 4 continues enumerating conditions for __________ most drugs and gives some __________

Paragraph 5 points out the main regulations for storing __________ which are to be stored strictly in accordance with their labeling requirements

Paragraph 6 provides information about proper storage of __________ in accordance with manufacturerrsquos instructions and utilization of drugs after passing __________

164

Task 2 Formulate the main rules for storing different kinds of drugs using the Imperative Mood

Exercise 8 Translate with the help of a dictionary

How is herbal medicine sold in stores

The herbs available in most stores come in several different forms teas syrups oils liquid extracts tinctures and dry extracts (pills or capsules) Teas can be made from dried herbs left to soak for a few minutes in hot water or by boiling herbs in water and then straining the liquid Syrups made from concentrated extracts and added to sweet-tasting preparations are often used for sore throats and coughs Oils are extracted from plants and often used as rubs for massage either by themselves or as part of an ointment or cream Tinctures and liquid extracts are made of active herbal ingredients dissolved in a liquid (usually water alcohol or glycerol) Tinctures are typically a 15 or 110 concentration meaning that one part of the herb is prepared with five to ten parts (by weight) of the liquid Liquid extracts are more concentrated than tinctures and are typically a 11 concentration A dry extract form is the most concentrated form of an herbal product (typically 21 - 81) and is sold as a tablet capsule or lozengeCurrently no organization or agency regulates the manufacture or certifies the labeling of herbal preparations This means you cant be sure that the amount of the herb contained in the bottle or even from dose to dose is the same as what is stated on the label Some herbal preparations are standardized meaning that the preparation is guaranteed to contain a specific amount of the active ingredients of the herb However it is still important to ask companies making standardized herbal products about their products guarantee It is important to talk to your doctor or an expert in herbal medicine about the recommended doses of any herbal products

A PRESCRIPTION

The word ldquoprescriptionrdquo from ldquoprerdquo (before) and ldquoscriptrdquo (writing written) refers to the fact that the prescription is an order that must be written down before a compounding drug can be prepared

Prescriptions are handwritten on preprinted prescription form Each prescription is datedA complete prescription is made up of five essential parts 1) the superscription 2) the inscription 3) the subscription 4) the signature and 5) the prescriberrsquos name The superscription section contains the date and patientrsquos information (name address age etc) The inscription is the body of the prescription This contains the ingredients and quantities of each The traditional symbol Rx separates the subscription from the inscription section The symbol originated in medieval manuscripts as an abbreviation of the Latin verb ldquoreciperdquo meaning ldquoto takerdquo Itrsquos the instruction to the pharmacist ndash ldquotake the following components and compound this medication for the patientrdquo The subscription always follows the inscription and contains the writerrsquos instruction to the pharmacist This designates the form of preparation (mixture tablets ointments etc) the strength (in words and figures) and the quantity of the total number (in words and figures) The signature consists of the directions to the patient This information is placed on the label of the container in which the medication is dispensed The prescriberrsquos name is the part of the prescription that guarantees its authenticity Some prescriptions will specify whether and how many ldquorepeatsrdquo or ldquorefillsrdquo are allowed that is whether the patient may obtain more of the same medication

The language of the prescription was unique in Great Britain some half a century ago when all the names of drugs were latinized It was possible because the physician used only dosed drugs Today all prescriptions are written in English The only Latin which is used is a few traditional abbreviations in the instruction to the pharmacist and on the label

A more serious problem is the naming of drugs In the old days drugs had only one official name At present each drug has at least three names They are the chemical name the so-called generic name and trade name The chemical name is difficult to use and remember except for the simplest drugs because of its length and complexity The trade or brand name is the

166

private property of the drug company and is copy right Many brand name drugs have less expensive generic drug substitutes that are therapeutically and biochemically equivalent Prescriptions will also contain instructions whether the prescriber will allow the pharmacist to substitute the generic version of the drug

It goes without saying that a prescription cannot be written without a very good knowledge of the dose effects of drugs Each drug has its own dose specification dependent on the pharmacological properties and metabolism of the drug

Note abbreviation ndash традиционнoе сокращение authenticity ndash подлинность unique ndash единый latinize ndash употреблять латинизмы generic name and trade name ndash официальное (фармакопейное) и

торговое название private property ndash частная собственность is copy right ndash на него распространяется авторское право It goes without saying ndash само собой разумеется dose specification ndash инструкция по дозировке

Exercise 1 Study the following Latin abbreviations used in prescriptions

Abbreviation Latin Englishbis bis twicepo per os by mouth or orallybdbid bis in die twice dailyqds quarter die sumendus four times a dayqh quaque hora every hourtds ter die sumendum three times a daytid ter in die three times a dayI one or one time M misce mixX timesNon rep non repetatur no repeatsprn as needed

Exercise 2 Insert the words from the text1 The prescription is written on the hellip 2 The body of the prescription contains hellip and is called hellip 3 The traditional symbol Rx is a hellip meaning

167

ldquohelliprdquo 4 The hellip follows the inscription and contains the direction to the pharmacist 5 The directions to the patient as to how he should take the medicine are called hellip 6 Each drug has its own dose hellip dependent on the pharmacological properties and metabolism of the drug 7 The trade name is usually known to hellip as well as to the specialists of medicine 8 In the old days drugs had only one name 9 The chemical name is difficult to hellip and hellip

Exercise 3 Match each part of the prescription with its explanation Restore the right order of the prescription and translate it into Russian1 Rx 2 Tel ER 5 ndash 6oo3 Joseph A Hiatt MD4 1481 Altadena Ave LA

h) prescriberrsquos signature

Exercise 4 Debate the following answering the questions1 What is meant by a prescription 2 What is the origin of the word ldquoprescriptionrdquo 3 What are the main parts of the prescription 4 What is the difference between superscription subscription and inscription 5 What is the body of the prescription 6 What parts does the inscription consist of 7 What does the word ldquorefillrdquo mean in the prescription 8 In what language are the prescriptions written in Great Britain 9 Is Latin used in English prescriptions nowadays 10 How many names does the drug have 10 Which name of the drug is difficult to use and remember 11 Which name of the drug is usually used by the prescriber 12 What does the title MD in the prescription indicate 13 What does the dose of the drug depend on

ЧТО ТАКОЕ КАКТОРИЙ

Самой старой аптеке Беларуси 300 с лишним лет Сегодня в сохранившемся здании в центре города Гродно снова работает аптека А при ней ndash единственный в Беларуси музей аптеки Исчерпывающие тексты возле каждого стенда помогут понять к какой эпохе относятся таблетки красочные рецепты колбы (retorts) и весы Все они кроме экспонатов XVI века настоящие (original) Муляжи (plaster casts) здесь ndash только хирургические (surgical) инструменты

Лекарства постарше подписаны на латыни А названия и производители фармацевтики начиная с XX века в переводе не нуждаются Крем laquoНивеяraquo и зубной порошок laquoЛакалютraquo отличаются лишь непривычной упаковкой

Ну а самое интересное место музея-аптеки ndash какторий Так в старину называлась лаборатория при аптеке где готовили лекарство из трав ndash галеновые (galenic) препараты Тут же ndash чай кофе разные специи Их раньше продавали не на рынке а в аптеке Помимо столов с весами разных ступок (motars) мензурок и кастрюль для отваров (decoction) тут как и в любой средневековой (medieval) аптеке висят чучела (stuffed animals) крокодилов и ящериц (lizards) заспиртованы (preserved in alcohol) разные лягушки и змеи То что сегодня кажется украшением (decoration) во времена алхимии использовалось для приготовления различных лекарств

Те же посетители кто после посещения музея решит и свою домашнюю аптечку (medicine chest) обставить старинными предметами

174

могут купить глиняные горшки (clay pots) или бутылочки в которых можно хранить уже свои лекарства

Supplementary texts

SECTION 3 In the chemical laboratory

Read and translate with the help of a dictionary

Creating thermometer scalesHow do scientists such as Gabriel Fahrenheit and Anders Celsius create new concepts such as temperature scales Many times new discoveries stem from (происходить) a scientistrsquos personal interests or observationsA cowrsquos normal body temperature is the same as a humanrsquos ndash about 986deg F Yet some evidence indicates that Fahrenheit based his primary reference point for 100deg F on the body temperature of a cow If this story is true the Fahrenheit scale was based on a sick cow Some have claimed (утверждать) that Fahrenheit chose his value of 100deg F so that the normal human body temperature would be 986deg F but this cannot be the case While most people were aware (знать) that there was a normal human body temperature its value was not determined until after the development of the thermometer scales Instead it seems that Fahrenheit based his scale on a measurement of interest to him Anders Celsius was a Swedish astronomer who had an interest in determining exactly how cold the Swedish nights were as he walked to his observatory Celsius wanted to know how warmly to dress and whether the metal telescope parts would be too cold to use in gazing at the vastness of the heavens (вглядываясь в безбрежное небо) The Celsius scale grew out of these practical concernsAs you can see scientists often have the same kinds of problems nonscientists do Sometime scientists view (рассматривать) those problems

177

as an impetus (движущая сила толчок) to study new ideas and invent new solution

SECTION 4 Chemical elements

I Read the passage and concentrate on the following

1 Sources of lead poisoning2 Consequences of lead poisoning3 Prevention and treatment of lead poisoning

II Present the information read using the italicized word combinations and the following phrases To begin with The problem of is rather complicated urgentcontroversal Itrsquos a well-known fact that Some more facts about are I can give some more details about I was surprised by learning that (about) My point of view is that To sum up I can go over some points raised First Second On the whole In conclusion let me say

Get the lead out

Most heavy metals are poisonous to humans and animals Lead one of these heavy metals interferes (препятствовать) with hemoglobin production in the blood and produces anemia Lead contamination can also cause mental retardation (задержка умственного развития) learning disabilities and damage to the nervous systemThe symbol for lead Pb comes from the Latin word plumbum (lead) which also gives us the words plumbing (водопровод) and plumber In the Roman Empire lead pipes carried water in the cities and lead cooking utensils (кухонная посуда) were used by wealthy Romans As a result upper-class Romans may well have suffered from lead poisoning that possibly caused brain or central nervous system damage In fact 1994 studies of ice cores (внутренность) in Greenland revealed extreme lead pollution caused by smelting (плавление) during the period from 500 BC to 300 AD Lead poisoning may have contributed to the fall of the Roman EmpireHowever the Romans arenrsquot the only ones who have been exposed (подвергаться воздействию) to toxic levels of lead Lead pigments were once common in household and furniture paints (краска) ndash lead compounds produce so many different colours that an artist could compose an entire palette (палитра) using only lead compounds Unfortunately lead poisoning from paints in older houses causes problems because old paint peels

178

(шелушиться лупиться) so readily Small children eat the paint chips nearly 250000 become ill every year In some cases permanent brain damage occurs New paints make use of other types of pigmentsAnother source of lead pollution in modern homes still involves the water supply In many homes copper water pipes are joined with lead solder (тех припой) Small amounts of solder slowly dissolve each day For this reason if you have copper pipes it is wise to run your tap water a few minutes before drinking it especially if the tap has not being used for a day or more If you wash your face or hands before drinking the tap water you can avoid wasting the water as it runs Newer homes often make use of plastic water pipes made from poly vinyl chloride or PVC These pipes are joined with a small amount of volatile solvent (летучий растворитель) Like the ancient Romans we still sometimes use glasses and dishes that contain lead lead improves the appearance and luster of crystal glass (глянец хрусталя) However crystal glass is another potential source of lead poisoning especially when used to serve acidic beverages (напитки) such as wine and soft drinks Similarly many ceramic dishes are coated with lead-containing glazes (глазурь) (especially those imported from foreign markets where the health regulations are not as much as the forefront)Physicians treat lead poisoning with EDTA or ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid EDTA forms soluble compounds called chelates with the lead permitting the body to excrete it But far preferable (намного предпочтительнее) to using EDTA as an antidote is avoiding lead exposure (продолжительное воздействие на организм) as much as possible There is no doubt that it is wise to get the lead out of paints drinking water and other everyday solutions

Notes1 may well have suffered from ndash возможно пострадали 2 where the health regulations are not as much as the forefront ndash где не

Read and translate the following text with the help of a dictionary

The chemistry of our senses

Although it may not be obvious most of our senses involve chemistry at one point or anotherTaste and smell are almost entirely chemical In both senses the nature of the stimulus is determined via direct chemical interactions The quality of taste is confirmed using taste buds (вкусовые сосочки языка) sensory units in the

179

tongue and mouth Taste buds respond to four different kinds of taste sweet sour salty and bitter The perception of flavor consists of varying combinations of these four kinds of taste Most ionic compounds such as NaCl taste salty and stimulate the salt-specific taste buds The sour taste usually arises from acidic substances Sweet or bitter tastes are not as restricted the taste buds perceive many chemicals as sweet including sugar artificial sweeteners glycerin and lead salts These substances have no similarity in structure shape or chemical nature The bitter taste also arises from many different compounds Temperature texture and odour blend into what people call tasteHow the sense of smell operates is still a mystery Scientists know that odour impinge on cells that make up the olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity and that molecular shape seems to play a major role in odour Some evidence suggests that odours are detected via infrared which might explain why the sense can detect quantities as small as one or two moleculesAlthough natural odours are usually due to complex mixtures of chemicals some are easily associated with a single chemical Some common odours and the chemicals mainly responsible are pine apple ndash ethyl butyrate banana ndash isoamyl acetate concord grape ndash methyl anthranilate apple ndash isoamyl isovalerate Delicious apple ndash ethyl-2-methylbutyrateFlavour and odour specialists use esters and other compounds to stimulate natural products or create new ones

SECTION 5 Plant study

Read the following text and say what the main functions of plant essential elements are

PLANT NUTRITION

More than 60 elements have been found in plant tissues These elements range from as common as carbon and hydrogen to those as exotic as platinum uranium and gold Are all these elements essential for growth

Carbon hydrogen oxygen phosphorus potassium nitrogen sulfur calcium and magnesium are required in relatively large amounts and are called macronutrients Iron chlorine copper manganese zinc boron and molybdenum are required in relatively small amounts and are called micronutrients

Functions of essential elements1 Plants require different amounts of different elements Most plants require

60 million times more hydrogen atoms than molybdenum atoms These

180

different requirements reflect different uses of these elements Hydrogen is in almost all compounds in plants while molybdenum occurs only in few

2 Different elements are absorbed in different forms Calcium and iron are absorbed as cations while phosphorus and sulfur are absorbed as anions

3 Most elements have several functions Potassium is involved in starch synthesis affects protein conformation and activates enzymes

Although the functions of essential elements are diverse they can be grouped into four general categoriesndash Essential elements can be part of structural units Carbon hydrogen and

oxygen make up carbohydrates such as cellulose Similarly nitrogen as an integral part of proteins

ndash Essential elements can be part of compounds involved in metabolism Magnesium is part of chlorophyll and phosphorus is part of ATP and nucleic acids

ndash Essential elements can activate or inhibit enzymesMagnesium stimulates several respiratory enzymes while calcium inhibits several enzymes In some cases these enzymes may be those responsible for synthesizing plant hormonesEssential elements can alter the osmotic potential of a cell

SECTION 6 In the pharmacy

Read the following passage without a dictionary and say what products can be bought in the Chineese pharmacy and what they are used for

Chinese pharmaceutical products

Visiting a Chinese pharmacy is much like being inside a miniature museum of natural sciences Tucked away (запрятанные) in row after row of tidy drawers are animal plant and mineral products each with a particular purpose Among the assortment of curiosities are cinnabar (киноварь) and amber (янтарь) to relax the nerves peach pits (косточки персика) and safflower (цветок шафрана) to improve blood circulation bears gall (желчь медведя) to relive pain and tranquilize Chinese ephedra to induce perspiration (потение) and ginseng to strengthen cardiac function

The filling of a prescription ordered by a Chinese doctor is a fascinating process to watch The pharmacist selects a few particular ingredients from the hundreds on the shelf These are taken home by the patient boiled into a ldquosouprdquo and drunk Confronted with such a steaming brew (напиток сваренный и настоянный) you might ask yourself just what the basis of this ancient medical art is

181

The Government of the Republic of China has put great effort into promoting the modernization of Chinese medicine In the area of pharmacology researchers have evaluated effectiveness analyzed tested and formulated concentrated dosages of Chinese pharmaceutical products for commercial scale The prescriptions for these drugs are easier to fill and are much more convenient for the patient than the old boiling method

English Universities

All English universities except Oxford and Cambridge are fairly new London University is the biggest of the modern universities and has many colleges and schools Oxford has 32 colleges A large college has about 5000 students about a hundred students study at a small college The college is an educational institution giving special instruction in certain subjects There are many types of colleges in England There are colleges within universities There are also technical colleges of various types colleges of arts and commerce Medical colleges are among them The college may be independent in its own affairs but is a part of the university in some matters The university gives the highest type of education It comprises a number of colleges and provides programmes for study and research beyond the college level The university is an administrative center which arranges lectures for all the students of the colleges holds examinations and gives degrees University teaching combines lectures practical classes and small group teaching in either seminars or tutorials the last being a traditional feature of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge A university usually has both faculties and departments The faculties are arts law medicine science The departments include engineering economics commerce agriculture music and technology At the head of each faculty there is a professor The staff of teachers called lecturers helps him Professors and lecturers deliver lectures to a large number of students or study with small groups All universities admit men and women but within some universities there are colleges especially for students of one sex Most of the universities provide hostels for their students

All the universities and colleges are independent self-governing institutions although they receive substantial aid from the state through the University Grants Committee The local education authorities have no responsibility for universities English universities greatly differ from each other They differ in date of foundation history traditions general

28

organization internal government methods of teaching ways of students life size etc On the whole British universities are comparatively small The approximate number is 7000-8000 students most universities having 3000 and some even less than 1500 students

The most ancient English universities are Cambridge and Oxford They date back to the 12-13th centuries and have always been universities for gentlemen Other universities are called modern or provincial They are located in large centers of industry There are no tutorial systems there These universities rely on lectures All universities charge fees which are rather high

Notes aid = assistance help tutorials = the system of individual training to charge fees = to get money for education

Exercise 1 Give Russian equivalents to the following word combinationsfairly new science faculty at the head of a staff of teachers to admit men and women within some universities to provide hostels an independent college self-governing institution substantial aid the local education authorities internal government tutorial system to charge fees

Exercise 2 Answer the questions to the text1 What is London University composed of2 Does university have faculties or departments3 What are faculties in English universities4 What do the departments include5 What do most universities provide for their students6 Are there many types of colleges in England7 What kinds of colleges are there in England8 In what do English Universities differ9 What is the number of students at British Universities10 How are other universities called11 What methods does university teaching combine

Exercise 3 Compare the organization of VSMU and that of English Universities indicating the main differences and similarities in their structural units and organization of educational process

29

Exercise 4 Read the following text and discuss it with your groupmates using as much information from the text as you can

The oldest and most famous universities in England are Oxford and Cambridge Oxford University was established in 1249 The choice of the small rural village of Oxford as a seat of learning was significant Far removed (неподверженный) from foreign influence Oxford was within comparatively easy reach of all parts of England Like London it is international because people from many parts of the world come to study at one of the twenty seven menrsquos colleges or at one of the five womenrsquos colleges that are the university They join the university ldquofamilyrdquo that has more than 9000 members The present facilities at Oxford include theology law English language and literature history humanities (гуманитарные дисциплины) social studies medicine physical and chemical science biological science

The first college at Cambridge Peterhouse was founded in 1284 and now there are twenty-four colleges A number of well-known scientists and writers among them Newton Darwin and Byron were educated in Cambridge

The organization system of the two universities differs from that of all other universities and colleges

The teachers are commonly called ldquodonsrdquo Part of the teaching is by means of lectures organized by the university Apart from lectures teaching is carried out by tutorial system for which these two universities have always been famous This is a system of individual tuition (обучение) organized by the colleges Each student goes to his tutorrsquos room once a week to read and discuss an essay which the student has prepared

Oxford and Cambridge are rather far from London and other large cities Therefore the students have to live in the university hostel or in a private room and the rent is very high Besides special fees are taken for books for laboratory work teaching aids etc Some students get scholarship but the number of these students is comparatively small

Pharmaceutical Education in Belarus

In our country there are two institutions of higher medical education which train pharmacists Vitebsk Medical University and since 2011 Belarusian Medical University in Minsk The Pharmaceutical faculty of the VSMU was founded in 1959 and now it is the basis of Belarusian pharmaceutical education Every year more than 300 applicants enter both day-time and correspondence (extramural) department of the faculty

To enter a Pharmaceutical faculty applicants take written entrance tests in chemistry biology and Russian or Belarusian languages The course of study lasts for five years During the first two years pharmacy students study general subjects such as botany physiology general chemistry physics etc During the third fourth and fifth years they have classes in special sciences like pharmacology pharmacognosy pharmaceutical chemistry etc Six special chairs function at the faculty pharmacognosy and botany chair practical pharmacy chair organization and economy of pharmacy chair pharmaceutical technology chair toxicological and analytical chemistry chair and pharmaceutical chemistry chairSince 1999 12 optional courses have been introduced in the curriculum which contains all the basic and practical subjects necessary for the training of highly skilled pharmacists

The students also have practical classes in laboratories where they study physical and chemical properties of medicines They acquire practical skills in botany and pharmacognosy at a large Botanical Station Pharmaceutical students have practical training at chemistrsquos shops where they learn to work as pharmacists In the 5-th year the students defend a graduation thesis and take final state examinations consisting of a) test control b) practical skills control c) personal interview on theoretical problems

80 of students are engaged in social activities and scientific research work The studentsrsquo scientific societies play an important role in the training of young specialists Every year joint conferences of young scientists and

50

members of studentsrsquo scientific societies take place collections of papers being published

After graduation all pharmaceutical students have a period of internship which lasts for one year Here they specialize in the following pharmaceutical specialties ldquopharmacyrdquo ldquoclinical pharmacyrdquo ldquotechnology of pharmaceutical preparationsrdquo and ldquoorganization and economy of pharmacyrdquo

At higher medical institutions of Belarus there is also postgraduate study as a form of training scientific and teaching specialists Postgraduate education is not compulsory The students study and write a thesis to get the Masterrsquos Degree or the Candidate of Science Degree

After completing the course of study at the Pharmaceutical faculty graduates can work as managers assistants dispensing pharmacists or chemists-analysts at chemistrsquos shops pharmaceutical plants or chemical laboratories

Pharmaceutical Education in Great Britain

The history of pharmaceutical education has closely followed that of medical education As the training of the physician underwent changes from the apprenticeship system to formal educational courses so did the training of the pharmacist The first pharmaceutical colleges in Great Britain were founded at the beginning of the nineteenth century

The course of instruction leading to a degree in pharmacy was extended from four to five years in 1960 The first and frequently the second year of training embracing general education subjects are often provided by a school of arts and sciences Many institutions in addition offer graduate courses in pharmacy and cognate sciences leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in pharmacy pharmacology or related disciplines These advanced courses are intended especially for those who are preparing for careers in research manufacturing or teaching in the field of pharmacy

Several schools of pharmacy have now adopted a six-year professional course leading to the degree of Doctor of Pharmacy This professional training includes many subjects common to the medical curriculum and involves training in hospital wards In this service a professionally trained pharmacist is expected to give advice to the physician in the techniques of administering medication and possible interaction of drugs in the patient along with expected side effectsSince the treatment of the sick with drugs encompasses a wide field of knowledge in the biological and physical sciences it is obvious that understanding of these sciences is necessary for adequate pharmaceutical training The basic five-year curriculum in British colleges of pharmacy embraces physics chemistry biology bacteriology physiology pharmacology and many other specialized courses such as dispensing pharmacy As the pharmacist is engaged in business as well special training is provided in merchandising accounting computer techniques and pharmaceutical jurisprudence All other countries requiring licenses to practice offer the same basic curriculum with minor variations

Before one is permitted to practice pharmacy in Great Britain as well as in other countries in which a license is required an applicant must be qualified by graduation from a recognized college of pharmacy meet specific requirements for experience and pass an examination conducted by a board of pharmacy appointed by the government The passing of this board examination carries with it the legal right to practise pharmacy The holder is then designated a registered or licensed pharmacist

THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHARMACY

Pharmacy is defined as the art and science of recognizing identifying collecting selecting preparing storing testing compounding and dispensing all substances used in preventive or in curative medicine for treating people The word ldquopharmacyrdquo comes from the Greek word pharmakon which in the modern language means ldquoa drugrdquo To the Greeks it was associated with a god or higher being who had the power of affecting people with herbs infusions etc

Pharmacy was born in old time when human being started to search for remedies for treatment of the ailments First pharmacies in Europe appeared in 1100 in monasteries Monks prepared remedies and supplied them to all needy free of charge At the same time first prescriptions were created and they were started with the words ldquoGood luckrdquo 100 years later first city pharmacies were opened in Venice Specialists for those pharmacies were prepared in accordance to widely acceptable methods of those times pupil ndash apprentice ndash master This preparation chain took 10-15 years (depending on the abilities of each person) The monks created schools and laboratories in monasteries The earliest ever found Pharmacopoeia Articles for different medicines were created by monasteries scientists But Monkrsquos schools were unable to reach scientific opportunities proposed by popular universities in Oxford Salamanca Prague and other European cities So peak of prime of those universities fell on the 13-th century

Pharmacy as an independent branch of medicine was born in Europe in 1240 when the Emperor of Holy Rome separated pharmacy from medicine However there was no special pharmaceutical training at that time The duty of a pharmacist was to prepare and sell medicines and to help the doctor In Great Britain assistants to the physicians were called apothecaries

In the 15-th century first appeared the term ldquoprovisorrdquo (from Latin foreseeing predicting) that explains the importance of the role of the pharmacists in treatment process The doctor establishes diagnosis and the

58

pharmacist foresees the tendency of the disease and with the aid of proper medicines corrects and predetermines its course and further development First proper Pharmacopoeia was published in 1581 in Spain

Much time went till pharmacy became a profession and creation of special medical establishments were found necessary Hundreds of private schools were opened in Europe that often were headed or owned by the pharmacists

In 1623 the apothecaries opened a manufacturing laboratory which produced galenical preparations This was necessary in their opinion because the drugs sold were often adulterated The laboratory was a great success and by 1671 it developed into a real chemical plant The apothecaries had the right to dispense medicines

Practices of giving education to the pharmacists within Universities were first introduced in France and England at the beginning of the 19-th century The education was oriented on gaining knowledge and practical skills in manufacture and use of the medicines But later educational courses started to include more theoretical subjects It was connected to the fact that during following decades pharmacies gradually lost manufacturing functions and were more concentrated on sales of medicines and advice to the patients

In Russia pharmacy as a branch of science started its development since the decree of Peter I in the 18-th century According to the decree pharmacists got special training at the hospital chemistsrsquo and private chemistsrsquo Some of them had practice at the chemistsrsquo orchards (gardens) The pupils studied botany and had practice of pharmacy at the hospital chemistsrsquo At the end of their study they had an examination for the title of a pharmacist and chemist-assistant

Pharmacy is now made possible by organized pharmaceutical education pharmaceutical research and pharmaceutical industry

На фармацевтов в Израиле учат всего в двух местах в Еврейском университете в Иерусалиме который считается главным в стране а также на факультете Беер-Шевского университета в Южном округе Израиля Поступить в университет очень сложно поступить на фармацевтический факультет ndash практически невозможно Люди закончившие школу сдают экзамен на аттестат зрелости (school-leaving certificate) Помимо этого есть некоторые предметы (математика физика химия биология и английский) которые можно изучать на повышенном уровне (advanced level) Также для поступления в израильский университет необходимо сдать единый (unified) экзамен ndash laquoпсихометриюraquo Она включает тест с вопросами общего характера из разных предметов школьной программы тест по математике английскому языку и грамматике иврита Для того чтобы поступить на фармацевта надо набрать 700 баллов по психометрии и иметь средний балл аттестата не менее 90-95 что является крайне жестким (stringent severe) критерием отбора Поэтому большинство израильтян едут учиться в Европу Лидерами по обучению молодых специалистов являются Каунас в Литве и Будапешт в Венгрии Как правило на фармацевта учатся 3-4 года (первая степень бакалавр) Уже с первой степенью по фармацевтике в Израиле можно работать фармацевтом что довольно необычно тк по другим специальностям надо отучиться как минимум на вторую степень магистра

Большинство фармацевтов получив степень бакалавра сразу же идут учиться на вторую степень подрабатывая на полставки (part-time job) Вторая степень выполняется в какой-либо лаборатории и связана с выполнением небольшой научной работы вроде того что у нас называется laquoписать дипломraquo Это занимает еще года два По закону любой фармацевт обязан получить лицензию (get a licence) на работу в Израиле по специальности Те кто оканчивают университет в Израиле сдают формальный экзамен Те кто учились за границей имеют возможность пройти специальный полугодичный курс организованный министерством здравоохранения Курс включает занятия по анатомии физиологии органической химии биохимии технологии а также английскому языку

In the chemical laboratory

The chemical laboratory is a place where you can perform in actual the different reactions that you had learnt in the books or heard in lectures The students of the pharmaceutical faculty often have practical classes in chemistry in the chemical laboratory There they carry out various experiments work with different chemical substances

The chemical laboratory consists of several rooms a room for storing the necessary substances a room for recording the obtained findings and a room for washing laboratory vessels These rooms are large and light well ventilated because chemists often work with harmful substances that have a strong and unpleasant odor

A good chemical laboratory is fully equipped with the basic measuring and analytical apparatuses that allow a good study of all the branches of chemistry However all experiments should be performed under the supervision of the lab instructor only

The laboratory is equipped with special tables which are higher than usual ones On each of the tables one can see shelves and racks with

78

laboratory vessels and glassware of all kinds some of them are empty while others contain the reagents

The most widely used reagents which are available at every laboratory are acids (nitric sulphuric and hydrochloric) alkali (ammonium solution potassium solution sodium solution) oxides inorganic salts indicators (phenolphthalein methylene green)

Reagents which are used in large amounts are supplied in big boxes or bottles Reagents which are seldom used are supplied in amounts up to 10 or 11g or even less

The most common and widely used equipment is that made of glass With glassware it is easy to spot what is happening inside The laboratory vessels and glassware are divided into three groups glassware for general use glassware for special use and glassware for measuring Glassware for general use includes test-tubes funnels flasks of different shape and size retorts etc Special glassware includes things necessary for carrying out different analyses For example special vessels for determination of molecular weights for the determination of melting- and boiling-points etc The glassware for measuring includes graduated cylinders burettes graduated flasks measuring glasses pipettes and others Burettes are used for very accurate measurements of volumes as in volumetric analysis Volumetric flasks are used to measure specific volumes accurately especially for preparing solutions in quantitative analysis Pipettes provide a means for greatest accuracy in measuring volume Thermometers and pipettes are essential equipment for many chemistry laboratories There are the standard lab thermometers for traditional measurements or the digital instruments for very accurate and easy recording of temperature or pH level The simplest and most common of all is a liquid thermometer Mercury is a particularly suitable liquid because of its high boiling point ndash +35725degC and its low solidifying-point ndash -39degC The mercury thermometer is more accurate than the alcohol one Graduated pipettes allow for very accurate liquid measurements A balance is used to measure out small amounts of chemicals

Laboratory heating equipment is used to generate the heat required to effect a reaction or a separation The broad range of heating equipment can be divided into two broad categories steam-heated devices and electrically heated devices

There are many types of materials that are not basic but are not less important than basic They are called laboratory or lab accessories They may include pullout shelves lipped shelves laboratory stands clamps stopcocks or laboratory stoppers

The laboratory stands are used to hold test tubes beakers etc Laboratory clamps are used to hold the apparatus

The work in the chemical laboratory requires cleanliness It is necessary to keep the working place clean Glass tubes vessels bottles

79

funnels etc should be clean and ready for use It is recommended to close the glass bottles with glass caps to prevent their contamination from air

Exercise 1 Find the corresponding definitions1 test- tube a) a thing that burns or works by heat2 glassware b) a substance used to show the presence of another by

reaction3 funnel c) a glass tube closed at one end used in chemical

experiments4 reagent d) tools and instruments that help in performing and

improving the core function5 burner e) a thing that is used to hold test-tubes beakers6 accessories f) things made of glass7 stand g) a vessel wide and round at the top and narrowing to a

The concept of temperature variation dates from antiquity although early measurements were based solely on the subjective sense of touch Touch is only capable of detecting temperature differences between objects it cannot provide quantitative temperature data For example you may be able to tell if a person has a fever by placing a hand on his forehead (лоб) but exactly how high is the fever That question requires quantitative data our senses can mislead us but a thermometer can give us that data Gabriel Fahrenheit (German 1686-1736) devised (придумывать изобретать) the Fahrenheit scale the oldest common temperature scale in about 1714 (Prior to this Galileo Galilei had invented an open tube thermometer in about 1593) One of Fahrenheit`s innovation was to use mercury (ртуть) which made the liquid column easy to see Previously people had had difficulty sealing mercury-containing tubes Fahrenheit established his temperature scale by selecting reference points (ориентиры) he could reproduce He designated (обозначать) a freezing ice-snow-salt-water mixture as 0degF because this was the lowest temperature he

82

could create in his workshop Several stories purport (иметь целью) to explain his selection of the reference point for 100degF my favorite is that he selected the body temperature of a cow a measurement that interested him and others in the agricultural community Starting with these primary reference points Fahrenheit determined values of 32degF for the freezing point and 212degF for the boiling point of water Anders Celsius (Swedish astronomer 1701-1744) developed a different thermometer scale in 1742 Celsius designated the freezing and boiling points of water as 0degC and 100degC respectively His scale was originally called the Сentigrade scale because centi means 1100th part and the reference points span 100 degrees The Celsius scale has been adopted worldwide and is the official metric temperature scale The third temperature scale was the invention of Englishman Lord Kelvin (born William Thompson 1824-1907) Lord Kelvin devised his scale in 1848 It is identical to the Celsius scale but all temperatures are 273 degrees higher Thus the freezing point of water is 273 degrees K the boiling point 373 degrees K This thermometer scale was derived from (устанавливать выводить) observation of gases

Exercise 9 Translate the following passage using a dictionary

The microscope

1 The most important single piece of apparatus in a laboratory is the microscope and it must be used and cared for accordingly 2 It is used to magnify and to make visible to the eye very small bodies such as bacteria the eggs of intestinal parasites and the material found in urine sediments 3 A simple microscope is nothing more than a single magnifying lens 4 A compound microscope which is the type used in medical laboratories consists of a number of such lenses arranged in line so as to give a very great magnification 5 Complete and detailed descriptions of microscopes may be found in all books on laboratory work 6 Before attempting to use a microscope for the first time one should read over a description of its parts and their functions in order to adjust the light and the lenses properly 7 There are a few important things to keep in mind regarding its use and they are never leave the microscope exposed to direct sunlight excessive heat or splashing water never use ether alcohol or xylol to clean it never pick it up by any of the movable parts never leave immersion oil on the lens or objective as it is called but wipe it off immediately after use with a fine soft

Chemistry an experimental science

Chemistry deals with all substances that make up our environment It also deals with the changes that take place in these substances ndash changes that make the differences between a cold and lifeless planet and one that teems with life and growth Chemistry helps us understand and benefit from naturersquos wondrous ways

Chemistry is an important part of science Since every phase of our daily life is affected by the fruits of scientific activity everyone should know what scientific activity is what it can do and how it works The study of chemistry helps you learn these things The most enjoyable part of chemistry is experimentation Unifying principles are developed with the laboratory work providing the basis for the development To see these principles grow out of observations you have made in the laboratory gives you a valid picture of how all scientific advances begin It permits you to engage in scientific activity and to start becoming a scientist yourself

Most of the students will not become scientists But all of you live in a world greatly influenced by science You will read the newspapers about many scientific advances and sometimes you will be asked to vote on important technical subjects You will be asked to consider the effect of aerosol sprays on the earthrsquos atmosphere cancer-producing chemicals in water supplies the bad effects of industrial wastes and the advantages and possible dangers of nuclear power production All these are important problems that require two major efforts First scientists must collect enough good information so that the real danger and possible solutions are known Second a political decision has to be made about what society wants Every citizen should be involved in the second effort For this reason it is important to understand how scientists go about solving problems To understand the world a scientist 1 Makes experiments and gathers information through observation 2 Organizes this information and looks for regularities 3 Wonders why the regularities exist 4 Communicates the findings to others

These are the basic activities of science Observation is the starting point Observation is most useful when the conditions which affect the observation are controlled carefully A condition is controlled when it is fixed known and can be varied deliberately All science is built upon the

84

results of experiments performed under controlled conditions Regularities provide an efficient way to summarize the results of many experiments and also allow us to predict the results of experiments that we have not carried out before The fourth activity of science is the most important one of all It is only through communicating ideas to others that a strong framework can be provided for science Experimental results must be confirmed and explanations must be tested by others If it were not for this aspect of science each generation of scientists would have to start from the beginning

1 Make the most of your time in the lab by coming to lab prepared Review these pre-lab tips before starting an experiment Complete any

86

pre-lab assignments or homework The information and calculations are intended to make the lab exercise quicker and easier

2 Know the location of the lab safety equipment and understand how to use it In particular know the location of the emergency exit fire extinguisher eye-wash station and safety shower

3 Read through the experiment before going to lab Make sure you understand the steps of the experiment Jot down any questions you have so that you can ask them before starting lab

4 Start filling out your lab book with information about the experiment Itrsquos a good idea to draw out your data table in advance so all you need to do in lab is to fill it in with numbers

5 Review the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) of the chemicals you will be using during the lab

6 Make certain you have all the glassware materials and chemicals needed to complete the lab before starting any part of the procedure

7 Understand disposal procedures for the chemicals and other items used in your experiment If you are unclear about what to do with your experiment after it has been completed ask your instructor about it Donrsquot throw items in the trash or dump liquids down the drain or waste disposal containers until you are certain it is acceptable to do so

8 Be prepared to take data in the lab Bring your notebook a pen and a calculator

9 Have personal safety gear such as a lab coat and goggles clean and ready to use before lab

Part V Rendering

Read the following information and render it into English

ВЫБИРАЕМ ТЕРМОМЕТР

Измерить температуру у ребенка ndash задача не из легких Не удивительно что современные модели термометров которые позволяют измерить температуру буквально за секунду пользуются таким спросом

И все же несмотря на все достижения науки и техники старые ртутные (mercury) термометры остаются самыми точными (accurate) и самыми дешевыми И к великому сожалению самыми опасными (dangerous) особенно когда речь идет о детях Разбить хрупкий (fragile) стеклянный корпус (coating) ничего не стоит но избавиться (dispose)

88

потом от ртутных шариков мгновенно зная что испарения (evaporation) этого металла смертоносны (fatal) - очень сложно Кроме того чтобы достоверно узнать температуру ртутный термометр нужно держать под мышкой (under the armpit) (или в анальном отверстии (anus)) не менее пяти минут а то и все десять

Цифровые (digital) термометры ndash другое дело Потребуется (it will take) всего лишь 3 минуты чтобы измерить (to take) температуру а для некоторых людей даже полторы Наряду с этим замечательным преимуществом (advantage) они обладают массой дополнительных возможностей (additional functions) запоминают предыдущие (previous) значения температуры (readings) звуком сообщают о готовности к работе и о том что градусники пора вынимать (get out of) автоматически выключаются (switch off) и зачастую снабжены подсветкой (illumination) чтобы использовать прибор ночью не доставляя неудобств (disturb) другим членам семьи

Для самых маленьких пациентов изобрели термометр-соску (soother) К сожалению показания такого термометра могут быть не очень точными (accurate) особенно если малыш плачет или дышит (breathe) ртом

Еще одно полезное изобретение ndash цифровой индикатор Но индикатор ndash он и есть индикатор то есть дает приблизительные (approximate) данные (data) о температуреСамые удобные модели ndash ушные (aural) инфракрасные термометры Одно плохо ndash эта почти фантастическая новинка отличается и фантастически высокой ценой (high price)Part VI Speaking

Exercise 1 Read and say which of the following statements are interpretations rather than observationsa) Gases are made of tiny particles in random (беспорядочный) motionb) Gases fill their containerc) A gas can be compressedd) Some gases are colorede) The particles that make up a gas are far apart

Exercise 2 Comment on the following Make use of the introductory phrasesIn my opinion As far as I know I believesuppose It is said that1 Chemists often function as detectives with molecules as their suspect

Each molecule can be identified by its own unique behavior2 To learn the nature of chemistry is possible only through your own

experience

Chemical elements and compounds

An element is a pure substance containing only one kind of atom When two distinct elements are chemically combined the result is termed a compound

The term element was first used by the Greek philosopher Plato in about 360 BC Plato believed that the elements introduced a century earlier

106

by Empedocles were composed of small polyhedral forms tetrahedron (fire) octahedron (air) icosahedrons (water) and cube (earth)There are 118 elements known today Some elements occur pure in nature and have been known for thousands of years Elements like iron silver gold mercury lead tin and sulphur were known to the ancients They were given Latin names by the early chemists For example iron was called ferrum silver was called argentum and gold was called aurum

The first modern list of chemical elements was given in Antoine Lavoisierrsquos 1789 Elements of chemistry which contained thirty-three elements including light and caloric During the 19 th century there was an increase in the number of elements discovered as chemists began to adopt quantitative methods Dmitri Mendeleev had sixty-six elements in his periodic table of 1869 By the end of the 19th century 81 elements had been known Almost twice as many elements were discovered in the 20th century as were discovered up to that time Credit for proof of elemental character goes to scientists in England France Sweden Germany Portugal and the United States Three of those scientists were Marie Skladovska Curie (radium polonium) Maquerite Perey (francium) and Ida Tacke (rhenium)

Each element has a name and has been given a shortened symbol of one or two letters The element carbon is symbolized by the letter C the element neon by letter Ne Ten of the elements have symbols derived from the capitalized first letter of the Latin name of the element and if necessary by a second letter Other elements have symbols that can be derived from their English names

But now letrsquos consider a substance like water Water can be identified by its properties colour taste melting and boiling temperatures and ability to dissolve sugar and salt A demonstration of electrolysis can easily show that water can be changed into other substances hydrogen gas and oxygen gas Since water can be decomposed into two other substances water must contain at least two kinds of atoms Water is a compound

Sugar is another substance that you know One property of sugar is its sweetness Another property is that it dissolves in water Still another is the way it behaves when heated Under definite temperature sugar not only begins to melt to a liquid but it also begins to decompose Sugar can be decomposed to form water and charcoal in definite amounts Sugar is a compound

Actually there is a set of characteristics called properties that characterize each substance Chemists sometimes speak about chemical changes and physical changes Physical changes do not mean a change in the composition of a substance For example breaking freezing melting boiling and deforming a substance such as lead are considered physical changes A chemical change or chemical reaction however changes the composition and characteristic or special properties of a substance

107

Note almost twice as many elements ndash почти в два раза больше элементов

Exercise 1 Translate the following word combinationsTo dissolve sugar and salt to adopt quantitative methods a set of characteristics under definite temperature to dissolve in water to produce in definite amounts to identify the substance by its properties to derive the name from melting and boiling temperatures to consider a substance elements occurring in nature

Exercise 2 Insert instead of gaps the proper words from the text1 The term ldquoelementrdquo was first introduced by hellip 2 By the end of the 19 th

century elements had been known 3 There are hellip elements known today 4 Elements like hellip hellip hellip hellip hellip and hellip were known to the ancient people 5 Iron was called hellip silver was called hellip and gold was called hellip in ancient times 6 The first modern list of chemical elements was given by hellip 7 Radium and polonium were discovered by Polish scientist hellip in 1898 8 Francium was discovered by hellip in 1939 9 Ida Tacke a German scientist discovered hellip in 1925

Exercise 3 Define the following notions1 An element 2 A compound 3 A periodic table 4 A physical change 5 A chemical reaction 6 Sugar 7 WaterExercise 4 Answer the following questions1 Who was the first to use the term ldquoelementrdquo 2 What is an element according to the current definition 3 What is a compound 4 What names did ancients give to such elements as iron silver and gold 5 What languages are chemical names of elements based on 6 Why was there an increase in the number of elements discovered in the 19th century 7 The scientists of what countries contributed to the discovery of elements Give their names 8 What is the most convenient and the most traditional presentation of elements 9 How can water be identified 10 In what way can one prove that water is a compound 11 What are the main properties of sugar 12 What is the product of decomposition of sugar under definite temperature 13 Are heating freezing melting boiling and deforming chemical or physical changes 14 What is a chemical change

108

Exercise 5 Make up the outline to the text and speak about chemical elements and compounds according to it

Exercise 6 Read the following passages and translate them with the help of a dictionary

PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS

As chemists discovered new elements they also discovered that certain elements behave in a similar manner Beginning in the mid-1800rsquos several chemists suggested ways to organize the known elements into a periodic table so that those with similar properties would be grouped together Chief among these researchers were Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev a Russian chemist and the German chemist Julius Lotcher Meyer DI Mendeleev developed a form of a periodic law a basic principal in chemistry His law states that the properties of chemical elements reoccur in regular pattern when the elements are arranged according to their atomic weight Mendeleevrsquos work together with that of Meyerrsquos led to the periodic table a systematic arrangement of the elements

In 1869 Mendeleev proposed his arrangements of the elements in order of increasing atomic weight and according to similarity in properties Mendeleevrsquos table has blank spaces for unknown elements Later using the periodic law he predicted the properties of these unknown elements His predictions were confirmed by the discovery between 1875 and 1886 of three elements with these properties Mendeleev also discovered the phenomenon of critical temperature the temperature at which a gas or vapour may be liquefied by pressure

Turning the Table on Refrigerants

The Freon compounds that are used to absorb heat in refrigerators and air conditioners were discovered in 1937 by Thomas Midgley an American chemist The following is his description of how the periodic table was usedldquoWhat was wanted was obvious ndash a nontoxic nonflammable refrigerant The desired combination of properties was a boiling point between Odeg and - 40degC stability nontoxicity and nonflammability I decided to bring into play the Periodic Table Perhaps volatility could be related to it some way It takes but a fraction of a second to see this is true The elements on the right-hand side of the Periodic table are the only ones which make compounds sufficiently volatile for the purpose in hand In fact only a certain number of these elements need to be considered Volatile compounds of boron silicon phosphorus arsenic antimony bismuth selenium tellurium and iodine are all too unstable and toxic to consider Now look at the remaining elements ndash

109

carbon nitrogen oxygen fluorine sulphur chlorine and bromine Every refrigerant used has been made from combinations of these elements Flammability decreases from left to right Toxicity usually decreases from the heavy elements at the bottom to lighter elements at the top These two trends focus on fluorine It was an exciting deduction Seemingly no one previously had considered it possible that fluorine might be nontoxic in some of its compoundsrdquo

Numerous Freons are now made to provide useful kinds of refrigerators air conditioners and freezers for preparing or storing foods

Chemical elements of living matter

1 Living matter contains about one-third of the elements of the Mendeleyev Periodic Table Only hydrogen carbon nitrogen and iodine are found in higher concentrations in the human body than in the earth Six other elements are found in roughly the same proportions oxygen phosphorus sulphur chlorine potassium and calcium 2 Besides hydrogen oxygen is the element present in the human body in the greatest amount It constitutes about 65 of the total (by weight) amountMost amount of oxygen is combined with hydrogen as water ndash the most abundant compound of the human body constituting 45 to 75 by weight Water itself is essential to keep the body hydrated but it also plays an absolutely vital role in respiration The exact amount depends principally on age sex and build relatively infants have more than adults men more than women There may also be considerable differences between healthy and ill people and the water content of the body may be affected by drugs3 Carbon is the second most abundant element found inside the human body Carbon is excreted from the body in the form of carbon dioxide which is a waste product of respiration Carbon is also the main component of glucose and other sugars The unique nature of living matter is due to its organic constituents ie compounds based on a carbon chain 4 There are some important organic chemicals usually ions that are essential to health For example calcium and phosphorus for the teeth and bones and iron is essential in the hemoglobin of the blood transporting the oxygen throughout the bodySodium potassium and chlorine ions deserve special emphasis because they regulate the electrolyte equilibrium in the blood and body tissues and help maintain proper fluid balance inside and outside the cells This balance is

110

controlled primarily by the Na+K+ ion ratio which ideally is 06 Potassium is the major cation within cells the 19 to 56 gday requirements must be replenished since the ion is excreted in the urine Na+K+ deficiency is fairly common in people using a diuretic to control body fluids The Na+ (1-2gday) and Cl- (17-51 gday) requirements are usually easy to meet since most foods contain NaCl in fact the average Na+ intake in the United States is about 10 gday between five and ten times the amount needed Excess sodium intake may contribute to hypertension or high blood pressure5 Phosphorus is another very important mineral One of its functions involves energy production Other important ions occurring in living matter besides those formed from organic acids and bases are bicarbonate ammonium phosphate and sulphate The bony skeleton and the teeth contain lithium fluoride as well Additional important compounds include carbon dioxide and oxygen

TOXIC SUBSTANCES IN MANrsquoS ENVIRONMENT

1 Read the title of the text and say what it is about2 Name some toxic substances known to you3 Say whether

a) you have ever been in contact with any toxic substance (s)b) you know how to act in case of poisoning

4 Read the text and formulate its main idea

112

The human body is a complex system of chemical compounds When an excessive amount of a single element or compound occurs in the body toxic reactions can be expected

Sometimes chemicals present in small amounts affect the biochemical functions of the body Lethal doses are usually expressed in milligrams (mg of substance per kilogram (kg) weight of the subject) For example cyanide ion (CN-) is generally fatal to human in doses of 1 mg of CN - per kg of body weight For a 200-pound person 000032 ounce of cyanide is a lethal dose Examples of somewhat less toxic substances and the probable lethal doses for an average person are morphine 1-50 mg per kg aspirin 50-500 mg per kg methyl alcohol 05-5 g per kg ethyl alcohol 5-15 g per kg

Substances we take in through food and water or through the air we breathe may influence our health While some substances are harmful others can be beneficial eg fluoride preventing caries water disinfectants killing germs etc

Lets consider such toxic substances as arsenic fluorides and mercury

ARSENIC 1 Where is arsenic formed

Arsenic is found in the natural environment About one third of the arsenic in the atmosphere comes from natural sources and the rest comes from man-made sources

The amounts of arsenic found in living animals plants and microbes vary 2 What are the ways of arsenic exposure

Humans are exposed mainly through food water and cigarette smoking Food is usually the largest source Arsenic is one of many hundreds of chemicals present in cigarette smoke The quantities of arsenic breathed in by non-smokers are very small except in industrially polluted areas Smokers inhale more because arsenic is one of many hundreds of chemicals present in cigarette smoke

Many arsenic compounds are quickly transformed and eliminated from the body via the urine 3 What are the effects of arsenic exposure

Many parts of the body may be affected by arsenic including the skin gut (кишка) lungs heart blood vessels immune system urinary system reproductive organs and the nervous system

Long-term exposure to high levels of arsenic in drinking water can cause thickening and pigment spots in the skin and cancer of the skin lungs bladder or kidney

FLUORIDES

113

1 What are fluorides Fluorides are organic and inorganic compounds containing the

fluorine element Generally colourless the different fluoride compounds are more or

less soluble in water and can take the form of a solid liquid or gasThese are important industrial chemicals with a number of uses but the largest fluorides uses are for aluminum production drinking water fluoridation and the manufacture of fluoridated dental preparations 2 How are humans exposed to fluorides

Food and drinking water typically contain at least small amounts of fluorides

In drinking water fluoride can either be naturally present or artificially added for the prevention of dental caries

All foodstuffs contain at least small amounts of fluoride Humans retain 60 to 90 of the fluoride taken in and accumulate almost all of it in their bones and teeth 3 What effects have actually been seen in humans

Fluoride can help prevent cavities but as the amount taken in increases it can also harm teeth (dental fluorosis) and bones (skeletal fluorosis) MERCURY1 What is mercury

Mercury is a chemical element with symbol Hg It is a silver-coloured metal and unlike any other metal it is a liquid at room temperature It flows so easily and rapidly that it is sometimes called quicksilver

Mercury compounds have uses in agriculture and industry Mercury however is extremely poisonous and can cause illness or death After many people realized its dangers industries and government agencies began trying to reduce the amount of mercury reaching the environment

2 What are the main uses of mercuryMercury has many properties (qualities) that make it useful For

example mercury expands and contracts evenly when heated or cooled It also remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures These properties have prompted its use in thermometers

3 What compounds does mercury form Can they be useful for people

Chemists divide mercury compounds into two groups (1) mercurous and (2) mercuric Mercurous compounds include mercurous chloride (Hg2Cl2) also called calomel and mercurous sulphate (Hg2SO2) Calomel is an antiseptic used to kill bacteria Scientists use mercurous sulphate to speed up certain tests on organic compounds

Mercuric compounds include mercuric chloride (HgCl2) a powerful poison that surgeons once used to disinfect wounds Several organic

114

mercuric compounds have important medical uses For example diuretics which doctors use to treat kidney disease contain these compounds The antiseptic Mercurochrome is also a mercuric compound

4 What effect may mercury have on plants animals and the environment

Mercury in the environment is harmful chiefly because its poisonous compounds have been found in plants and animals that people use for food Scientists have discovered poisonous mercury compounds in such foods as eggs fish grain and meat Mercury acts as a cumulative poison ndash that is the body has difficulty eliminating it Thus it may collect over a long time eventually reaching dangerous levels

Among the most dangerous mercury compounds are those containing methyl mercury They can damage brain cells

ounce ndash унция (= 28 г) cavity ndash полость впадина

Exercise 1 Read the following sentences and ask your groupmates the questions to which the given sentence will be the answers1 Some substances are harmful for the organism (What hellip)2 Fluoride can be beneficial in preventing caries (What substance hellip)3 About ⅓ of the arsenic in the atmosphere comes from natural sources

amounts3 Certain organisms may accumulate considerable amounts of elements that

do not occur in the human body4 Not only chemical elements are considered as toxic5 Chemical substances affect the human body in different ways6 Elements may serve man in his everyday life

Exercise 6 Extend the idea Express your point of view Use the following phrases I thinkfeel that hellip As far as I know hellip My point of view is hellip 1 Chemists sometimes speak about chemical changes and physical changes2 Nearly all elements on or in the earth are found combined with other

elements3 Artificially combined elements are not plentiful all of them are

radioactive

MEDICINAL HERBSI

The principal parts of a plant are 1) the root system 2) the stems and leaves 3) the reproductive part made up of flowers fruits or seeds The roots grow downward into the soil and have two main functions ndash to absorb plant nutrients and water from the soil and to anchor the plant As to stems and leaves they are usually above the ground The food used in growth by green plants is manufactured in the leaves from the raw materials taken from the soil and air This process is known as photosynthesis To support the leaves and to connect them with the roots are the main functions of the stem A flower is the part of the plant where seeds are produced Thus to produce seeds the plant must have flowersHerbal medicine also called botanical medicine or phytomedicine refers to using plants seeds fruits roots leaves bark or flowers for medicinal purposes Plants that give drugs have both active substances the so-called primary plant products and inactive substances the so-called secondary products The constituents and active principles vary in quantity at different seasons of the year and the majority of plant materials are usually best collected during the dry season when the herbs are at peak maturity and concentration Roots and rhizomes Best collected from October to February when the plants are more vigorously storing food in their underground organsLeaves The most opportune time is when the plant is about to bloom

135

Flowers Best collected in the time of pollination Buds are preferred collected in the morning after the morning dew has evaporated flowers just before or shortly after opening Dry the herbal materials as quickly as possibleBark materials and stems Generally best gathered in summer time as the bark of any plant usually contains richer nutritive substances including the medicinal metabolites Fruits and seeds Fully ripened fruits and mature seeds are preferred Turn the fleshy fruit frequently for even dryingWhole plant When the whole plant is desired it is advisable to harvest the plant at the time when the flowers are all in bloom

IIThe moisture content of the dried plant materials should be less than 10 before storageThe dried plant materials should be placed in plastic containers or tightly covered bottles The storage place should be dry well-ventilated and spacious Drug materials can be kept on large open wooden shelves The odour of a drug of plant origin may be distinct or indistinct depending upon the amount of volatile constituents the drug possesses It is described as aromatic balsamic spicy camphorous etc When it is difficult to compare the odour with other substances it is described as characteristicAccording to taste substances may be classified into four groups1 Those possessing a true taste such as acid sweet alkaline bitter2 Those possessing no taste and thus are tasteless3 Those possessing a characteristic odour which gives name to the so-

called ldquotasterdquo They may be grouped broadly into those which are agreeable or pleasant (aromatic balsamic spicy) and disagreeable or unpleasant (alliaceous camphorous etc)

4 Those giving certain sensation to the tongue (mucilaginous oily astringent pungent acrid nauseous)

Pharmacological activity of certain drugs is established using different tests and methods such as chemical tests for the determination of presence of inorganic elements a chemical analysis for the determination of the official activity chromatographic study to separate and analyze constituents and inert materials occurring in drugs etc

Exercise 1 Finish the following sentences1 Herbal medicine is also called hellip 2 Primary plant products are called hellip 3 Secondary plant products are also called hellip 4 Flowers are best collected in hellip 5 Bark materials and stems are best gathered in hellip 6 Roots and rhizomes are collected in hellip 7 It is advisable to harvest the whole plant

NATURErsquoS MEDICINES

1 Without plants there would be no life on Earth In ancient times plants played a vital role in healing and many are still used by the modern pharmaceutical industry2 The Assyrians and Egyptians the early civilized people started cultivating plants By the seventh century they had produced a systematically arranged list of medicinal plants In China medical authorities recognize the medical properties of more than 5800 plants They classified the medicinal effects of the plants on the various parts of the body and then tested them to determine their toxicity what dosages would be lethal etc For example cassia bark is warming in nature and is useful in treating colds Mint is cooling in nature and is used to relieve the symptoms of illness resulting from heat factors 3 One of the most widely used plants that was known to man 5000 years ago is garlic It is well known that garlic is therapeutically useful for the following purposes it is a powerful agent in preventing diphtheria typhus tuberculosis pneumonia it is useful in all respiratory infections especially in symptoms of a dry hacking cough in colds asthma and bronchitis and in many other cases It is also an excellent nerve tonic4 Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a popular alternative to commonly prescribed medications for sleep problems Unlike many prescription sleeping pills valerian may have fewer side effects such as morning drowsiness5 Clinical studies found that Echinacea supplements decreased the chance of getting a cold by 58 It also shortened the duration of a cold by 14 days 6 Used correctly herbs can help treat a variety of conditions and in some cases may have fewer side effects than some conventional medications But some herbs may cause allergic reactions and some are toxic if used improperly or at high doses Taking herbs on your own increases your risk so it is important to consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking herbal medicines

POISONOUS PLANTS

Poisonous plants when used in small or moderate amounts cause a harmful reaction resulting in illness or death Many ornamental plants such as oleander lilly-of-the-valley and mistletoe1 are poisonous Some plants contain both edible and poisonous parts potatoes and tomatoes are common plant foods but their green parts are poisonous

The poisonous compound may be distributed2 throughout all parts of the plant or it may accumulate in one part more than in any other such as the root or berry Every plant may vary in the amount of toxins it contains due to different growing conditions and slight variations in subspecies Certain plants however can be highly toxic when young and harmless later

Usually more than 60g of the poisonous part of the plant must be eaten by an average adult before poisonous results Some plants however are toxic in small amounts for instance one or two castor beans the seeds of castor-oil plant may kill a child

Poisonous plants cause painful skin irritations3 upon contact they cause internal poisoning when eaten and they poison through skin absorption or inhalation into the respiratory tract After ingestion4 the poison may act immediately on the digestive tract Symptoms of ingestion poisoning can include nausea vomiting diarrhea depressed heartbeat hallucinations dry mouth coma and death Some plants affect the heart (oleander) Plants containing alkaloids often produce unpleasant or dangerous reactions in the nervous system Examples are paralysis hallucinations or heart block A few poisons act directly within the cells of the body Cyanide for example prevents cells of the body from using oxygen

First aid in case of poisoningThe symptoms of poisoning depend on both the amount of poison

ingested and the individualrsquos reaction to the poison as every person has a different level of resistance to toxic substances

position14 Do not leave the victim alone Do not give the victim food or drink or induce vomiting

Belladonna

Belladonna is probably named in honour of Italians who made eye drops of the fresh juice to dilate their pupils and make them appear more alluring According to a medieval superstition witches used belladonna in their ceremonies to promote hallucinations and it was combined with aconite to produce the sensation of flying Gerard described the herb as ldquoa plant so furious and deadlyrdquo Belladonna has powerful sedative and narcotic properties mainly due to the presence of two poisonous crystalline alkaloids One of them atropine affects the autonomous nervous system Today ophthalmologists still use atropine to dilate the pupils and it also antidotes the nerve gas discharges from chemical weapons The other alkaloid is used as a sedative Belladonna extracts are used medicinally to treat ailments characterized by spasms including Parkinsonrsquos disease epilepsy asthma and whooping cough Atropine also controls mucous secretions and may be found in medications for colds and fever Homeopathically belladonna is prescribed for scarlet fever inflammations throbbing headaches and sore throats

All parts of plants are highly poisonous They should be taken only under medical supervision All parts of the fresh plants give off an unpleasant smell when bruised and are extremely poisonous Black berries contain a sweet inky juice that is deadly poison

ЭТОТ ВКУСНЫЙ ШОКОЛАД

Ученые естественно не могли пройти мимо какао не попытавшись выявить в нем активное действующее начало В 1841 году адъюнкт Петербургского университета АА Введенский извлек (extracted) из какао-бобов новый алкалоид который назвал теобромином

Плоды теобромы помещаются (are placed) в специальные емкости (containers) и подвергаются брожению (ферментации) (are undergone) Какао-бобы прошедшие ферментацию содержат 50 ndash масла 15 ndash белка 9 ndash ароматических и экстрактивных веществ 7 ndash крахмала (starch) 5 ndash дубильных веществ (tannins) 5 ndash минеральных веществ 15 ndash катехинов (catechins) со свойствами витамина РР 05-2 ndash теобромина и 02 кофеина Калорийность (caloric content) бобов составляет 600 калорий на (per) 100 граммов массы

Масло какао вот уже почти три века используется при изготовлении суппозиториев ndash лечебных свечей и шариков Теперь масло какао все больше используется для производства губной помады (for the manufacture of lipstick) а суппозитории все чаще готовятся из гидрогенизированного жира ndash бутирола

IN THE PHARMACY

Pharmacy is a place where medicines are prepared and sold Most pharmacies sometimes called chemistsrsquo or drugstores also sell many other products Every pharmacy has a hall for visitors a department for selling drugs which is called the chemist department and proper working rooms Large pharmacies have also a prescription department where prescriptions are filled Today pharmaceutical manufacturers supply most drugs But pharmacists must still compound some medicines and be able to prepare antiseptic solutions ointments and other common remedies

At the chemist department one can buy ready-to-use remedies in various forms such as tablets (sleeping tablets sedative tablets) pills drops (cough drops nasal drops) tinctures (tincture of iodine) mixtures herbs for infusion (peppermint chamomile) ointments (boric ointment zinc ointment) powders (talcum powder) lotions (eye lotion) Such remedies as valerian medical charcoal bicarbonate of soda vaseline and hydrogen peroxide are also available at the chemist department One can get there dressing material including gauze cotton wool elastic bandages adhesive tape plasters etc

A person usually asks the pharmacist or the chemist whether the medicine is for internal or external application He may also ask the chemist to give him something for gargling something to produce sweating a remedy for diarrhea headache earache backache or stomachache

At the prescription department pharmacists fill prescriptions written by doctors or dentists and prepare labels for medicines The name of the medicine the single dose and the total dose are indicated on the label or signature On the labels pharmacists include directions for patients given in the prescriptions The labels for the drugs prepared in the pharmacy are of different colors Labels of a green color indicate medicines for internal use blue labels indicate drugs for injections Drugs for external application have labels of a yellow color Drugs used for treatment of eye diseases have labels of a pink color

All medicines are kept in drug cabinets on the open shelves and in the refrigerator Poisonous drugs are kept in the drug cabinet with the letter A Strong effective drugs are kept in the drug cabinet having the letter B The drugs prepared in the pharmacy for immediate use should be kept in the refrigerator Powders galenical preparations and ready-made medicines are usually kept on the shelves protected from light at a constant temperature not higher than a room one At the chemist department medicines are kept according to their therapeutic effect drugs for cough cardiac medicines drugs for headache Disinfectants herbs and health-care items such as hot-water bottles medicine droppers and thermometers are kept separately

The personnel of an average pharmacy consists of a manager of the pharmacy a dispensing pharmacist who fills prescriptions a chemist controlling the prescriptions that is physical physico-chemical and pharmacological compatibility of the ingredients of the compound prescribed by the physician The pharmacy is also staffed by a chemist-analyst who controls effectiveness of the drug prepared in the pharmacy and a pharmacist who is in charge of the supply of necessary medicinesExercise 1 Translate the following word combinations from Russian into English Рецептурный отдел отдел готовых лекарственных форм помещения аптеки шкафы для хранения лекарств выдавать лекарства по рецепту этикетки с указанием пациенту одноразовая доза общая доза согласно терапевтического эффекта для внутреннего применения для полоскания горла средство от диареи (головной боли ушной боли боли в спине) изделия медицинского назначения готовые лекарственные формы активированный уголь вата физико-химическая и фармакологическая совместимость ингредиентов

Exercise 7 Read the following text and do the tasks which follow it

STORAGE OF DRUGS

1 There are strict legal requirements for the purchase (покупка) storage use identification dispensing and prescription of drugs

2 Many drugs are poisonous if taken accidentally or in excess (в избытке) others are caustic and may cause painful burns Some common sense precautions (из соображений здравого смысла) in storing drugs are to keep them well away from strong light heat pungent odors food and drinks to keep poisons up in a special poisons cabinet and to keep caustics on the lowest shelf where accidental spillage (случайно пролившаяся жидкость) cannot affect the eyes or burn the face

3 The condition of the drugs stored for long period depends generally on the conditions of storage over this period and in certain cases depends on the drugs themselves

4 Certain drugs will keep perfectly if they are stored in well closed containers in the dark and in a dry atmosphere at a moderate (умеренная) temperature On the other hand a drug such as digitalis even if it is stored under the most ideal conditions will have lost all its potency by the end of one year while other drugs will be all right even if they are stored under the most varied conditions for long periods (for ex the ampoules of strychnine or the capsules containing drug powders)

5 Some medical products need to be stored at a lower than ambient (окружающая) temperature to assure (обеспечивать) their quality and

163

efficacy These are often referred to as ldquocold chain productsrdquo or fridge linesrdquo They are to be stored and distributed in strict accordance with (в строгом соответствии) the product labeling requirements Some cold chain items such as vaccine insulin biotech products and products derived from (полученные) blood or plasma can be classified as high risk ones because they are at risk from freezing as well as elevated temperatures Other products for example chloramphenicol eye drops may be labeled as requiring storage between 2deg and 8degC but a short deviation from (отклонение) this temperature range presents less of danger to users

6 Stocks of drugs must be stored in accordance with manufacturerrsquos instructions and not kept beyond their expiry date (срок годности) Records of their purchase supply and expiry date must be kept for at least 11 years Any drugs which have passed their expiry date should be discarded (выбрасывать) together with any solutions which have become discolored or cloudy

Task 1 Pay attention to how the narration is structured and complete the gaps with the words and phrases from the box

a) stocks of drugsb) strict legal requirementsc) the expiry date d) cold chain products

e) poisons and causticsf) the condition g) storing h) examples

Paragraph 1 introduces the fact that there are __________ for buying storage use identification dispensing and prescription of medicines

Paragraph 2 describes some common sense precautions in storing ordinary medicines as well as __________

Paragraph 3 brings in factors on which __________ of storing drugs for a long period depends on

Paragraph 4 continues enumerating conditions for __________ most drugs and gives some __________

Paragraph 5 points out the main regulations for storing __________ which are to be stored strictly in accordance with their labeling requirements

Paragraph 6 provides information about proper storage of __________ in accordance with manufacturerrsquos instructions and utilization of drugs after passing __________

164

Task 2 Formulate the main rules for storing different kinds of drugs using the Imperative Mood

Exercise 8 Translate with the help of a dictionary

How is herbal medicine sold in stores

The herbs available in most stores come in several different forms teas syrups oils liquid extracts tinctures and dry extracts (pills or capsules) Teas can be made from dried herbs left to soak for a few minutes in hot water or by boiling herbs in water and then straining the liquid Syrups made from concentrated extracts and added to sweet-tasting preparations are often used for sore throats and coughs Oils are extracted from plants and often used as rubs for massage either by themselves or as part of an ointment or cream Tinctures and liquid extracts are made of active herbal ingredients dissolved in a liquid (usually water alcohol or glycerol) Tinctures are typically a 15 or 110 concentration meaning that one part of the herb is prepared with five to ten parts (by weight) of the liquid Liquid extracts are more concentrated than tinctures and are typically a 11 concentration A dry extract form is the most concentrated form of an herbal product (typically 21 - 81) and is sold as a tablet capsule or lozengeCurrently no organization or agency regulates the manufacture or certifies the labeling of herbal preparations This means you cant be sure that the amount of the herb contained in the bottle or even from dose to dose is the same as what is stated on the label Some herbal preparations are standardized meaning that the preparation is guaranteed to contain a specific amount of the active ingredients of the herb However it is still important to ask companies making standardized herbal products about their products guarantee It is important to talk to your doctor or an expert in herbal medicine about the recommended doses of any herbal products

Text 2

A PRESCRIPTION

The word ldquoprescriptionrdquo from ldquoprerdquo (before) and ldquoscriptrdquo (writing written) refers to the fact that the prescription is an order that must be written down before a compounding drug can be prepared

Prescriptions are handwritten on preprinted prescription form Each prescription is datedA complete prescription is made up of five essential parts 1) the superscription 2) the inscription 3) the subscription 4) the signature and 5) the prescriberrsquos name The superscription section contains the date and patientrsquos information (name address age etc) The inscription is the body of the prescription This contains the ingredients and quantities of each The traditional symbol Rx separates the subscription from the inscription section The symbol originated in medieval manuscripts as an abbreviation of the Latin verb ldquoreciperdquo meaning ldquoto takerdquo Itrsquos the instruction to the pharmacist ndash ldquotake the following components and compound this medication for the patientrdquo The subscription always follows the inscription and contains the writerrsquos instruction to the pharmacist This designates the form of preparation (mixture tablets ointments etc) the strength (in words and figures) and the quantity of the total number (in words and figures) The signature consists of the directions to the patient This information is placed on the label of the container in which the medication is dispensed The prescriberrsquos name is the part of the prescription that guarantees its authenticity Some prescriptions will specify whether and how many ldquorepeatsrdquo or ldquorefillsrdquo are allowed that is whether the patient may obtain more of the same medication

The language of the prescription was unique in Great Britain some half a century ago when all the names of drugs were latinized It was possible because the physician used only dosed drugs Today all prescriptions are written in English The only Latin which is used is a few traditional abbreviations in the instruction to the pharmacist and on the label

A more serious problem is the naming of drugs In the old days drugs had only one official name At present each drug has at least three names They are the chemical name the so-called generic name and trade name The chemical name is difficult to use and remember except for the simplest drugs because of its length and complexity The trade or brand name is the

166

private property of the drug company and is copy right Many brand name drugs have less expensive generic drug substitutes that are therapeutically and biochemically equivalent Prescriptions will also contain instructions whether the prescriber will allow the pharmacist to substitute the generic version of the drug

It goes without saying that a prescription cannot be written without a very good knowledge of the dose effects of drugs Each drug has its own dose specification dependent on the pharmacological properties and metabolism of the drug

Note abbreviation ndash традиционнoе сокращение authenticity ndash подлинность unique ndash единый latinize ndash употреблять латинизмы generic name and trade name ndash официальное (фармакопейное) и

торговое название private property ndash частная собственность is copy right ndash на него распространяется авторское право It goes without saying ndash само собой разумеется dose specification ndash инструкция по дозировке

Exercise 1 Study the following Latin abbreviations used in prescriptions

Abbreviation Latin Englishbis bis twicepo per os by mouth or orallybdbid bis in die twice dailyqds quarter die sumendus four times a dayqh quaque hora every hourtds ter die sumendum three times a daytid ter in die three times a dayI one or one time M misce mixX timesNon rep non repetatur no repeatsprn as needed

Exercise 2 Insert the words from the text1 The prescription is written on the hellip 2 The body of the prescription contains hellip and is called hellip 3 The traditional symbol Rx is a hellip meaning

167

ldquohelliprdquo 4 The hellip follows the inscription and contains the direction to the pharmacist 5 The directions to the patient as to how he should take the medicine are called hellip 6 Each drug has its own dose hellip dependent on the pharmacological properties and metabolism of the drug 7 The trade name is usually known to hellip as well as to the specialists of medicine 8 In the old days drugs had only one name 9 The chemical name is difficult to hellip and hellip

Exercise 3 Match each part of the prescription with its explanation Restore the right order of the prescription and translate it into Russian1 Rx 2 Tel ER 5 ndash 6oo3 Joseph A Hiatt MD4 1481 Altadena Ave LA

h) prescriberrsquos signature

Exercise 4 Debate the following answering the questions1 What is meant by a prescription 2 What is the origin of the word ldquoprescriptionrdquo 3 What are the main parts of the prescription 4 What is the difference between superscription subscription and inscription 5 What is the body of the prescription 6 What parts does the inscription consist of 7 What does the word ldquorefillrdquo mean in the prescription 8 In what language are the prescriptions written in Great Britain 9 Is Latin used in English prescriptions nowadays 10 How many names does the drug have 10 Which name of the drug is difficult to use and remember 11 Which name of the drug is usually used by the prescriber 12 What does the title MD in the prescription indicate 13 What does the dose of the drug depend on

Самой старой аптеке Беларуси 300 с лишним лет Сегодня в сохранившемся здании в центре города Гродно снова работает аптека А при ней ndash единственный в Беларуси музей аптеки Исчерпывающие тексты возле каждого стенда помогут понять к какой эпохе относятся таблетки красочные рецепты колбы (retorts) и весы Все они кроме экспонатов XVI века настоящие (original) Муляжи (plaster casts) здесь ndash только хирургические (surgical) инструменты

Лекарства постарше подписаны на латыни А названия и производители фармацевтики начиная с XX века в переводе не нуждаются Крем laquoНивеяraquo и зубной порошок laquoЛакалютraquo отличаются лишь непривычной упаковкой

Ну а самое интересное место музея-аптеки ndash какторий Так в старину называлась лаборатория при аптеке где готовили лекарство из трав ndash галеновые (galenic) препараты Тут же ndash чай кофе разные специи Их раньше продавали не на рынке а в аптеке Помимо столов с весами разных ступок (motars) мензурок и кастрюль для отваров (decoction) тут как и в любой средневековой (medieval) аптеке висят чучела (stuffed animals) крокодилов и ящериц (lizards) заспиртованы (preserved in alcohol) разные лягушки и змеи То что сегодня кажется украшением (decoration) во времена алхимии использовалось для приготовления различных лекарств

Те же посетители кто после посещения музея решит и свою домашнюю аптечку (medicine chest) обставить старинными предметами

174

могут купить глиняные горшки (clay pots) или бутылочки в которых можно хранить уже свои лекарства

Supplementary texts

SECTION 3 In the chemical laboratory

Read and translate with the help of a dictionary

Creating thermometer scalesHow do scientists such as Gabriel Fahrenheit and Anders Celsius create new concepts such as temperature scales Many times new discoveries stem from (происходить) a scientistrsquos personal interests or observationsA cowrsquos normal body temperature is the same as a humanrsquos ndash about 986deg F Yet some evidence indicates that Fahrenheit based his primary reference point for 100deg F on the body temperature of a cow If this story is true the Fahrenheit scale was based on a sick cow Some have claimed (утверждать) that Fahrenheit chose his value of 100deg F so that the normal human body temperature would be 986deg F but this cannot be the case While most people were aware (знать) that there was a normal human body temperature its value was not determined until after the development of the thermometer scales Instead it seems that Fahrenheit based his scale on a measurement of interest to him Anders Celsius was a Swedish astronomer who had an interest in determining exactly how cold the Swedish nights were as he walked to his observatory Celsius wanted to know how warmly to dress and whether the metal telescope parts would be too cold to use in gazing at the vastness of the heavens (вглядываясь в безбрежное небо) The Celsius scale grew out of these practical concernsAs you can see scientists often have the same kinds of problems nonscientists do Sometime scientists view (рассматривать) those problems

177

as an impetus (движущая сила толчок) to study new ideas and invent new solution

SECTION 4 Chemical elements

I Read the passage and concentrate on the following

1 Sources of lead poisoning2 Consequences of lead poisoning3 Prevention and treatment of lead poisoning

II Present the information read using the italicized word combinations and the following phrases To begin with The problem of is rather complicated urgentcontroversal Itrsquos a well-known fact that Some more facts about are I can give some more details about I was surprised by learning that (about) My point of view is that To sum up I can go over some points raised First Second On the whole In conclusion let me say

Get the lead out

Most heavy metals are poisonous to humans and animals Lead one of these heavy metals interferes (препятствовать) with hemoglobin production in the blood and produces anemia Lead contamination can also cause mental retardation (задержка умственного развития) learning disabilities and damage to the nervous systemThe symbol for lead Pb comes from the Latin word plumbum (lead) which also gives us the words plumbing (водопровод) and plumber In the Roman Empire lead pipes carried water in the cities and lead cooking utensils (кухонная посуда) were used by wealthy Romans As a result upper-class Romans may well have suffered from lead poisoning that possibly caused brain or central nervous system damage In fact 1994 studies of ice cores (внутренность) in Greenland revealed extreme lead pollution caused by smelting (плавление) during the period from 500 BC to 300 AD Lead poisoning may have contributed to the fall of the Roman EmpireHowever the Romans arenrsquot the only ones who have been exposed (подвергаться воздействию) to toxic levels of lead Lead pigments were once common in household and furniture paints (краска) ndash lead compounds produce so many different colours that an artist could compose an entire palette (палитра) using only lead compounds Unfortunately lead poisoning from paints in older houses causes problems because old paint peels

178

(шелушиться лупиться) so readily Small children eat the paint chips nearly 250000 become ill every year In some cases permanent brain damage occurs New paints make use of other types of pigmentsAnother source of lead pollution in modern homes still involves the water supply In many homes copper water pipes are joined with lead solder (тех припой) Small amounts of solder slowly dissolve each day For this reason if you have copper pipes it is wise to run your tap water a few minutes before drinking it especially if the tap has not being used for a day or more If you wash your face or hands before drinking the tap water you can avoid wasting the water as it runs Newer homes often make use of plastic water pipes made from poly vinyl chloride or PVC These pipes are joined with a small amount of volatile solvent (летучий растворитель) Like the ancient Romans we still sometimes use glasses and dishes that contain lead lead improves the appearance and luster of crystal glass (глянец хрусталя) However crystal glass is another potential source of lead poisoning especially when used to serve acidic beverages (напитки) such as wine and soft drinks Similarly many ceramic dishes are coated with lead-containing glazes (глазурь) (especially those imported from foreign markets where the health regulations are not as much as the forefront)Physicians treat lead poisoning with EDTA or ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid EDTA forms soluble compounds called chelates with the lead permitting the body to excrete it But far preferable (намного предпочтительнее) to using EDTA as an antidote is avoiding lead exposure (продолжительное воздействие на организм) as much as possible There is no doubt that it is wise to get the lead out of paints drinking water and other everyday solutions

Read and translate the following text with the help of a dictionary

The chemistry of our senses

Although it may not be obvious most of our senses involve chemistry at one point or anotherTaste and smell are almost entirely chemical In both senses the nature of the stimulus is determined via direct chemical interactions The quality of taste is confirmed using taste buds (вкусовые сосочки языка) sensory units in the

179

tongue and mouth Taste buds respond to four different kinds of taste sweet sour salty and bitter The perception of flavor consists of varying combinations of these four kinds of taste Most ionic compounds such as NaCl taste salty and stimulate the salt-specific taste buds The sour taste usually arises from acidic substances Sweet or bitter tastes are not as restricted the taste buds perceive many chemicals as sweet including sugar artificial sweeteners glycerin and lead salts These substances have no similarity in structure shape or chemical nature The bitter taste also arises from many different compounds Temperature texture and odour blend into what people call tasteHow the sense of smell operates is still a mystery Scientists know that odour impinge on cells that make up the olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity and that molecular shape seems to play a major role in odour Some evidence suggests that odours are detected via infrared which might explain why the sense can detect quantities as small as one or two moleculesAlthough natural odours are usually due to complex mixtures of chemicals some are easily associated with a single chemical Some common odours and the chemicals mainly responsible are pine apple ndash ethyl butyrate banana ndash isoamyl acetate concord grape ndash methyl anthranilate apple ndash isoamyl isovalerate Delicious apple ndash ethyl-2-methylbutyrateFlavour and odour specialists use esters and other compounds to stimulate natural products or create new ones

SECTION 5 Plant study

Read the following text and say what the main functions of plant essential elements are

PLANT NUTRITION

More than 60 elements have been found in plant tissues These elements range from as common as carbon and hydrogen to those as exotic as platinum uranium and gold Are all these elements essential for growth

Carbon hydrogen oxygen phosphorus potassium nitrogen sulfur calcium and magnesium are required in relatively large amounts and are called macronutrients Iron chlorine copper manganese zinc boron and molybdenum are required in relatively small amounts and are called micronutrients

Functions of essential elements1 Plants require different amounts of different elements Most plants require

60 million times more hydrogen atoms than molybdenum atoms These

180

different requirements reflect different uses of these elements Hydrogen is in almost all compounds in plants while molybdenum occurs only in few

2 Different elements are absorbed in different forms Calcium and iron are absorbed as cations while phosphorus and sulfur are absorbed as anions

3 Most elements have several functions Potassium is involved in starch synthesis affects protein conformation and activates enzymes

Although the functions of essential elements are diverse they can be grouped into four general categoriesndash Essential elements can be part of structural units Carbon hydrogen and

oxygen make up carbohydrates such as cellulose Similarly nitrogen as an integral part of proteins

ndash Essential elements can be part of compounds involved in metabolism Magnesium is part of chlorophyll and phosphorus is part of ATP and nucleic acids

ndash Essential elements can activate or inhibit enzymesMagnesium stimulates several respiratory enzymes while calcium inhibits several enzymes In some cases these enzymes may be those responsible for synthesizing plant hormonesEssential elements can alter the osmotic potential of a cell

SECTION 6 In the pharmacy

Read the following passage without a dictionary and say what products can be bought in the Chineese pharmacy and what they are used for

Chinese pharmaceutical products

Visiting a Chinese pharmacy is much like being inside a miniature museum of natural sciences Tucked away (запрятанные) in row after row of tidy drawers are animal plant and mineral products each with a particular purpose Among the assortment of curiosities are cinnabar (киноварь) and amber (янтарь) to relax the nerves peach pits (косточки персика) and safflower (цветок шафрана) to improve blood circulation bears gall (желчь медведя) to relive pain and tranquilize Chinese ephedra to induce perspiration (потение) and ginseng to strengthen cardiac function

The filling of a prescription ordered by a Chinese doctor is a fascinating process to watch The pharmacist selects a few particular ingredients from the hundreds on the shelf These are taken home by the patient boiled into a ldquosouprdquo and drunk Confronted with such a steaming brew (напиток сваренный и настоянный) you might ask yourself just what the basis of this ancient medical art is

181

The Government of the Republic of China has put great effort into promoting the modernization of Chinese medicine In the area of pharmacology researchers have evaluated effectiveness analyzed tested and formulated concentrated dosages of Chinese pharmaceutical products for commercial scale The prescriptions for these drugs are easier to fill and are much more convenient for the patient than the old boiling method

Exercise 4 Read the following text and discuss it with your groupmates using as much information from the text as you can

The oldest and most famous universities in England are Oxford and Cambridge Oxford University was established in 1249 The choice of the small rural village of Oxford as a seat of learning was significant Far removed (неподверженный) from foreign influence Oxford was within comparatively easy reach of all parts of England Like London it is international because people from many parts of the world come to study at one of the twenty seven menrsquos colleges or at one of the five womenrsquos colleges that are the university They join the university ldquofamilyrdquo that has more than 9000 members The present facilities at Oxford include theology law English language and literature history humanities (гуманитарные дисциплины) social studies medicine physical and chemical science biological science

The first college at Cambridge Peterhouse was founded in 1284 and now there are twenty-four colleges A number of well-known scientists and writers among them Newton Darwin and Byron were educated in Cambridge

The organization system of the two universities differs from that of all other universities and colleges

The teachers are commonly called ldquodonsrdquo Part of the teaching is by means of lectures organized by the university Apart from lectures teaching is carried out by tutorial system for which these two universities have always been famous This is a system of individual tuition (обучение) organized by the colleges Each student goes to his tutorrsquos room once a week to read and discuss an essay which the student has prepared

Oxford and Cambridge are rather far from London and other large cities Therefore the students have to live in the university hostel or in a private room and the rent is very high Besides special fees are taken for books for laboratory work teaching aids etc Some students get scholarship but the number of these students is comparatively small

Pharmaceutical Education in Belarus

In our country there are two institutions of higher medical education which train pharmacists Vitebsk Medical University and since 2011 Belarusian Medical University in Minsk The Pharmaceutical faculty of the VSMU was founded in 1959 and now it is the basis of Belarusian pharmaceutical education Every year more than 300 applicants enter both day-time and correspondence (extramural) department of the faculty

To enter a Pharmaceutical faculty applicants take written entrance tests in chemistry biology and Russian or Belarusian languages The course of study lasts for five years During the first two years pharmacy students study general subjects such as botany physiology general chemistry physics etc During the third fourth and fifth years they have classes in special sciences like pharmacology pharmacognosy pharmaceutical chemistry etc Six special chairs function at the faculty pharmacognosy and botany chair practical pharmacy chair organization and economy of pharmacy chair pharmaceutical technology chair toxicological and analytical chemistry chair and pharmaceutical chemistry chairSince 1999 12 optional courses have been introduced in the curriculum which contains all the basic and practical subjects necessary for the training of highly skilled pharmacists

The students also have practical classes in laboratories where they study physical and chemical properties of medicines They acquire practical skills in botany and pharmacognosy at a large Botanical Station Pharmaceutical students have practical training at chemistrsquos shops where they learn to work as pharmacists In the 5-th year the students defend a graduation thesis and take final state examinations consisting of a) test control b) practical skills control c) personal interview on theoretical problems

80 of students are engaged in social activities and scientific research work The studentsrsquo scientific societies play an important role in the training of young specialists Every year joint conferences of young scientists and

50

members of studentsrsquo scientific societies take place collections of papers being published

After graduation all pharmaceutical students have a period of internship which lasts for one year Here they specialize in the following pharmaceutical specialties ldquopharmacyrdquo ldquoclinical pharmacyrdquo ldquotechnology of pharmaceutical preparationsrdquo and ldquoorganization and economy of pharmacyrdquo

At higher medical institutions of Belarus there is also postgraduate study as a form of training scientific and teaching specialists Postgraduate education is not compulsory The students study and write a thesis to get the Masterrsquos Degree or the Candidate of Science Degree

After completing the course of study at the Pharmaceutical faculty graduates can work as managers assistants dispensing pharmacists or chemists-analysts at chemistrsquos shops pharmaceutical plants or chemical laboratories

Pharmaceutical Education in Great Britain

The history of pharmaceutical education has closely followed that of medical education As the training of the physician underwent changes from the apprenticeship system to formal educational courses so did the training of the pharmacist The first pharmaceutical colleges in Great Britain were founded at the beginning of the nineteenth century

The course of instruction leading to a degree in pharmacy was extended from four to five years in 1960 The first and frequently the second year of training embracing general education subjects are often provided by a school of arts and sciences Many institutions in addition offer graduate courses in pharmacy and cognate sciences leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in pharmacy pharmacology or related disciplines These advanced courses are intended especially for those who are preparing for careers in research manufacturing or teaching in the field of pharmacy

Several schools of pharmacy have now adopted a six-year professional course leading to the degree of Doctor of Pharmacy This professional training includes many subjects common to the medical curriculum and involves training in hospital wards In this service a professionally trained pharmacist is expected to give advice to the physician in the techniques of administering medication and possible interaction of drugs in the patient along with expected side effectsSince the treatment of the sick with drugs encompasses a wide field of knowledge in the biological and physical sciences it is obvious that understanding of these sciences is necessary for adequate pharmaceutical training The basic five-year curriculum in British colleges of pharmacy embraces physics chemistry biology bacteriology physiology pharmacology and many other specialized courses such as dispensing pharmacy As the pharmacist is engaged in business as well special training is provided in merchandising accounting computer techniques and pharmaceutical jurisprudence All other countries requiring licenses to practice offer the same basic curriculum with minor variations

Before one is permitted to practice pharmacy in Great Britain as well as in other countries in which a license is required an applicant must be qualified by graduation from a recognized college of pharmacy meet specific requirements for experience and pass an examination conducted by a board of pharmacy appointed by the government The passing of this board examination carries with it the legal right to practise pharmacy The holder is then designated a registered or licensed pharmacist

THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHARMACY

Pharmacy is defined as the art and science of recognizing identifying collecting selecting preparing storing testing compounding and dispensing all substances used in preventive or in curative medicine for treating people The word ldquopharmacyrdquo comes from the Greek word pharmakon which in the modern language means ldquoa drugrdquo To the Greeks it was associated with a god or higher being who had the power of affecting people with herbs infusions etc

Pharmacy was born in old time when human being started to search for remedies for treatment of the ailments First pharmacies in Europe appeared in 1100 in monasteries Monks prepared remedies and supplied them to all needy free of charge At the same time first prescriptions were created and they were started with the words ldquoGood luckrdquo 100 years later first city pharmacies were opened in Venice Specialists for those pharmacies were prepared in accordance to widely acceptable methods of those times pupil ndash apprentice ndash master This preparation chain took 10-15 years (depending on the abilities of each person) The monks created schools and laboratories in monasteries The earliest ever found Pharmacopoeia Articles for different medicines were created by monasteries scientists But Monkrsquos schools were unable to reach scientific opportunities proposed by popular universities in Oxford Salamanca Prague and other European cities So peak of prime of those universities fell on the 13-th century

Pharmacy as an independent branch of medicine was born in Europe in 1240 when the Emperor of Holy Rome separated pharmacy from medicine However there was no special pharmaceutical training at that time The duty of a pharmacist was to prepare and sell medicines and to help the doctor In Great Britain assistants to the physicians were called apothecaries

In the 15-th century first appeared the term ldquoprovisorrdquo (from Latin foreseeing predicting) that explains the importance of the role of the pharmacists in treatment process The doctor establishes diagnosis and the

58

pharmacist foresees the tendency of the disease and with the aid of proper medicines corrects and predetermines its course and further development First proper Pharmacopoeia was published in 1581 in Spain

Much time went till pharmacy became a profession and creation of special medical establishments were found necessary Hundreds of private schools were opened in Europe that often were headed or owned by the pharmacists

In 1623 the apothecaries opened a manufacturing laboratory which produced galenical preparations This was necessary in their opinion because the drugs sold were often adulterated The laboratory was a great success and by 1671 it developed into a real chemical plant The apothecaries had the right to dispense medicines

Practices of giving education to the pharmacists within Universities were first introduced in France and England at the beginning of the 19-th century The education was oriented on gaining knowledge and practical skills in manufacture and use of the medicines But later educational courses started to include more theoretical subjects It was connected to the fact that during following decades pharmacies gradually lost manufacturing functions and were more concentrated on sales of medicines and advice to the patients

In Russia pharmacy as a branch of science started its development since the decree of Peter I in the 18-th century According to the decree pharmacists got special training at the hospital chemistsrsquo and private chemistsrsquo Some of them had practice at the chemistsrsquo orchards (gardens) The pupils studied botany and had practice of pharmacy at the hospital chemistsrsquo At the end of their study they had an examination for the title of a pharmacist and chemist-assistant

Pharmacy is now made possible by organized pharmaceutical education pharmaceutical research and pharmaceutical industry

На фармацевтов в Израиле учат всего в двух местах в Еврейском университете в Иерусалиме который считается главным в стране а также на факультете Беер-Шевского университета в Южном округе Израиля Поступить в университет очень сложно поступить на фармацевтический факультет ndash практически невозможно Люди закончившие школу сдают экзамен на аттестат зрелости (school-leaving certificate) Помимо этого есть некоторые предметы (математика физика химия биология и английский) которые можно изучать на повышенном уровне (advanced level) Также для поступления в израильский университет необходимо сдать единый (unified) экзамен ndash laquoпсихометриюraquo Она включает тест с вопросами общего характера из разных предметов школьной программы тест по математике английскому языку и грамматике иврита Для того чтобы поступить на фармацевта надо набрать 700 баллов по психометрии и иметь средний балл аттестата не менее 90-95 что является крайне жестким (stringent severe) критерием отбора Поэтому большинство израильтян едут учиться в Европу Лидерами по обучению молодых специалистов являются Каунас в Литве и Будапешт в Венгрии Как правило на фармацевта учатся 3-4 года (первая степень бакалавр) Уже с первой степенью по фармацевтике в Израиле можно работать фармацевтом что довольно необычно тк по другим специальностям надо отучиться как минимум на вторую степень магистра

Большинство фармацевтов получив степень бакалавра сразу же идут учиться на вторую степень подрабатывая на полставки (part-time job) Вторая степень выполняется в какой-либо лаборатории и связана с выполнением небольшой научной работы вроде того что у нас называется laquoписать дипломraquo Это занимает еще года два По закону любой фармацевт обязан получить лицензию (get a licence) на работу в Израиле по специальности Те кто оканчивают университет в Израиле сдают формальный экзамен Те кто учились за границей имеют возможность пройти специальный полугодичный курс организованный министерством здравоохранения Курс включает занятия по анатомии физиологии органической химии биохимии технологии а также английскому языку

КАК СТАТЬ АПТЕКАРЕМ В КАНАДЕ

Работу фармацевтов и продажу лекарств в Канаде контролирует Канадская фармацевтическая ассоциация Большинство фармацевтов Канады (80) работают в розничных (retail) аптеках Около 15 фармацевтов работают в госпитальных аптеках а остальные ndash в

фармакологических ассоциациях компаниях или консультационных фирмах Как правило для работы фармацевтом необходимо иметь диплом бакалавра фармацевтики одного из канадских университетов пройти практику в интернатуре или поработать в качестве практиканта непосредственно в аптеке а затем сдать национальный квалификационный экзамен В Канаде фармацевтов готовят в 9 университетах Программа обучения рассчитана на 4 года после этого студенты в течение года проходят практику в аптеке и далее следует 6 месяцев обучения в интернатуре В некоторых провинциях диплома бакалавра для работы в аптеке вполне достаточно и дальнейшее обучение уже не требуется

In the chemical laboratory

The chemical laboratory is a place where you can perform in actual the different reactions that you had learnt in the books or heard in lectures The students of the pharmaceutical faculty often have practical classes in chemistry in the chemical laboratory There they carry out various experiments work with different chemical substances

The chemical laboratory consists of several rooms a room for storing the necessary substances a room for recording the obtained findings and a room for washing laboratory vessels These rooms are large and light well ventilated because chemists often work with harmful substances that have a strong and unpleasant odor

A good chemical laboratory is fully equipped with the basic measuring and analytical apparatuses that allow a good study of all the branches of chemistry However all experiments should be performed under the supervision of the lab instructor only

The laboratory is equipped with special tables which are higher than usual ones On each of the tables one can see shelves and racks with

78

laboratory vessels and glassware of all kinds some of them are empty while others contain the reagents

The most widely used reagents which are available at every laboratory are acids (nitric sulphuric and hydrochloric) alkali (ammonium solution potassium solution sodium solution) oxides inorganic salts indicators (phenolphthalein methylene green)

Reagents which are used in large amounts are supplied in big boxes or bottles Reagents which are seldom used are supplied in amounts up to 10 or 11g or even less

The most common and widely used equipment is that made of glass With glassware it is easy to spot what is happening inside The laboratory vessels and glassware are divided into three groups glassware for general use glassware for special use and glassware for measuring Glassware for general use includes test-tubes funnels flasks of different shape and size retorts etc Special glassware includes things necessary for carrying out different analyses For example special vessels for determination of molecular weights for the determination of melting- and boiling-points etc The glassware for measuring includes graduated cylinders burettes graduated flasks measuring glasses pipettes and others Burettes are used for very accurate measurements of volumes as in volumetric analysis Volumetric flasks are used to measure specific volumes accurately especially for preparing solutions in quantitative analysis Pipettes provide a means for greatest accuracy in measuring volume Thermometers and pipettes are essential equipment for many chemistry laboratories There are the standard lab thermometers for traditional measurements or the digital instruments for very accurate and easy recording of temperature or pH level The simplest and most common of all is a liquid thermometer Mercury is a particularly suitable liquid because of its high boiling point ndash +35725degC and its low solidifying-point ndash -39degC The mercury thermometer is more accurate than the alcohol one Graduated pipettes allow for very accurate liquid measurements A balance is used to measure out small amounts of chemicals

Laboratory heating equipment is used to generate the heat required to effect a reaction or a separation The broad range of heating equipment can be divided into two broad categories steam-heated devices and electrically heated devices

There are many types of materials that are not basic but are not less important than basic They are called laboratory or lab accessories They may include pullout shelves lipped shelves laboratory stands clamps stopcocks or laboratory stoppers

The laboratory stands are used to hold test tubes beakers etc Laboratory clamps are used to hold the apparatus

The work in the chemical laboratory requires cleanliness It is necessary to keep the working place clean Glass tubes vessels bottles

79

funnels etc should be clean and ready for use It is recommended to close the glass bottles with glass caps to prevent their contamination from air

Exercise 1 Find the corresponding definitions1 test- tube a) a thing that burns or works by heat2 glassware b) a substance used to show the presence of another by

reaction3 funnel c) a glass tube closed at one end used in chemical

experiments4 reagent d) tools and instruments that help in performing and

improving the core function5 burner e) a thing that is used to hold test-tubes beakers6 accessories f) things made of glass7 stand g) a vessel wide and round at the top and narrowing to a

small tube at the bottom used for pouring liquids into a small opening

Exercise 8 Read the text ldquoTHERMOMETER SCALESrdquo and say1 What thermometer scales were established 2 Who proposed them 3 What was taken as limits 4 What limits are for each of the scales

THERMOMETER SCALES

The concept of temperature variation dates from antiquity although early measurements were based solely on the subjective sense of touch Touch is only capable of detecting temperature differences between objects it cannot provide quantitative temperature data For example you may be able to tell if a person has a fever by placing a hand on his forehead (лоб) but exactly how high is the fever That question requires quantitative data our senses can mislead us but a thermometer can give us that data Gabriel Fahrenheit (German 1686-1736) devised (придумывать изобретать) the Fahrenheit scale the oldest common temperature scale in about 1714 (Prior to this Galileo Galilei had invented an open tube thermometer in about 1593) One of Fahrenheit`s innovation was to use mercury (ртуть) which made the liquid column easy to see Previously people had had difficulty sealing mercury-containing tubes Fahrenheit established his temperature scale by selecting reference points (ориентиры) he could reproduce He designated (обозначать) a freezing ice-snow-salt-water mixture as 0degF because this was the lowest temperature he

82

could create in his workshop Several stories purport (иметь целью) to explain his selection of the reference point for 100degF my favorite is that he selected the body temperature of a cow a measurement that interested him and others in the agricultural community Starting with these primary reference points Fahrenheit determined values of 32degF for the freezing point and 212degF for the boiling point of water Anders Celsius (Swedish astronomer 1701-1744) developed a different thermometer scale in 1742 Celsius designated the freezing and boiling points of water as 0degC and 100degC respectively His scale was originally called the Сentigrade scale because centi means 1100th part and the reference points span 100 degrees The Celsius scale has been adopted worldwide and is the official metric temperature scale The third temperature scale was the invention of Englishman Lord Kelvin (born William Thompson 1824-1907) Lord Kelvin devised his scale in 1848 It is identical to the Celsius scale but all temperatures are 273 degrees higher Thus the freezing point of water is 273 degrees K the boiling point 373 degrees K This thermometer scale was derived from (устанавливать выводить) observation of gases

Exercise 9 Translate the following passage using a dictionary

The microscope

1 The most important single piece of apparatus in a laboratory is the microscope and it must be used and cared for accordingly 2 It is used to magnify and to make visible to the eye very small bodies such as bacteria the eggs of intestinal parasites and the material found in urine sediments 3 A simple microscope is nothing more than a single magnifying lens 4 A compound microscope which is the type used in medical laboratories consists of a number of such lenses arranged in line so as to give a very great magnification 5 Complete and detailed descriptions of microscopes may be found in all books on laboratory work 6 Before attempting to use a microscope for the first time one should read over a description of its parts and their functions in order to adjust the light and the lenses properly 7 There are a few important things to keep in mind regarding its use and they are never leave the microscope exposed to direct sunlight excessive heat or splashing water never use ether alcohol or xylol to clean it never pick it up by any of the movable parts never leave immersion oil on the lens or objective as it is called but wipe it off immediately after use with a fine soft

83

cloth or with special lens paper when not in use see that it is well covered to protect it from dust

Chemistry an experimental science

Chemistry deals with all substances that make up our environment It also deals with the changes that take place in these substances ndash changes that make the differences between a cold and lifeless planet and one that teems with life and growth Chemistry helps us understand and benefit from naturersquos wondrous ways

Chemistry is an important part of science Since every phase of our daily life is affected by the fruits of scientific activity everyone should know what scientific activity is what it can do and how it works The study of chemistry helps you learn these things The most enjoyable part of chemistry is experimentation Unifying principles are developed with the laboratory work providing the basis for the development To see these principles grow out of observations you have made in the laboratory gives you a valid picture of how all scientific advances begin It permits you to engage in scientific activity and to start becoming a scientist yourself

Most of the students will not become scientists But all of you live in a world greatly influenced by science You will read the newspapers about many scientific advances and sometimes you will be asked to vote on important technical subjects You will be asked to consider the effect of aerosol sprays on the earthrsquos atmosphere cancer-producing chemicals in water supplies the bad effects of industrial wastes and the advantages and possible dangers of nuclear power production All these are important problems that require two major efforts First scientists must collect enough good information so that the real danger and possible solutions are known Second a political decision has to be made about what society wants Every citizen should be involved in the second effort For this reason it is important to understand how scientists go about solving problems To understand the world a scientist 1 Makes experiments and gathers information through observation 2 Organizes this information and looks for regularities 3 Wonders why the regularities exist 4 Communicates the findings to others

These are the basic activities of science Observation is the starting point Observation is most useful when the conditions which affect the observation are controlled carefully A condition is controlled when it is fixed known and can be varied deliberately All science is built upon the

84

results of experiments performed under controlled conditions Regularities provide an efficient way to summarize the results of many experiments and also allow us to predict the results of experiments that we have not carried out before The fourth activity of science is the most important one of all It is only through communicating ideas to others that a strong framework can be provided for science Experimental results must be confirmed and explanations must be tested by others If it were not for this aspect of science each generation of scientists would have to start from the beginning

Read the following information and render it into English

ВЫБИРАЕМ ТЕРМОМЕТР

Измерить температуру у ребенка ndash задача не из легких Не удивительно что современные модели термометров которые позволяют измерить температуру буквально за секунду пользуются таким спросом

И все же несмотря на все достижения науки и техники старые ртутные (mercury) термометры остаются самыми точными (accurate) и самыми дешевыми И к великому сожалению самыми опасными (dangerous) особенно когда речь идет о детях Разбить хрупкий (fragile) стеклянный корпус (coating) ничего не стоит но избавиться (dispose)

88

потом от ртутных шариков мгновенно зная что испарения (evaporation) этого металла смертоносны (fatal) - очень сложно Кроме того чтобы достоверно узнать температуру ртутный термометр нужно держать под мышкой (under the armpit) (или в анальном отверстии (anus)) не менее пяти минут а то и все десять

Цифровые (digital) термометры ndash другое дело Потребуется (it will take) всего лишь 3 минуты чтобы измерить (to take) температуру а для некоторых людей даже полторы Наряду с этим замечательным преимуществом (advantage) они обладают массой дополнительных возможностей (additional functions) запоминают предыдущие (previous) значения температуры (readings) звуком сообщают о готовности к работе и о том что градусники пора вынимать (get out of) автоматически выключаются (switch off) и зачастую снабжены подсветкой (illumination) чтобы использовать прибор ночью не доставляя неудобств (disturb) другим членам семьи

Для самых маленьких пациентов изобрели термометр-соску (soother) К сожалению показания такого термометра могут быть не очень точными (accurate) особенно если малыш плачет или дышит (breathe) ртом

Еще одно полезное изобретение ndash цифровой индикатор Но индикатор ndash он и есть индикатор то есть дает приблизительные (approximate) данные (data) о температуреСамые удобные модели ndash ушные (aural) инфракрасные термометры Одно плохо ndash эта почти фантастическая новинка отличается и фантастически высокой ценой (high price)Part VI Speaking

Exercise 1 Read and say which of the following statements are interpretations rather than observationsa) Gases are made of tiny particles in random (беспорядочный) motionb) Gases fill their containerc) A gas can be compressedd) Some gases are colorede) The particles that make up a gas are far apart

Exercise 2 Comment on the following Make use of the introductory phrasesIn my opinion As far as I know I believesuppose It is said that1 Chemists often function as detectives with molecules as their suspect

Each molecule can be identified by its own unique behavior2 To learn the nature of chemistry is possible only through your own

experience

Chemical elements and compounds

An element is a pure substance containing only one kind of atom When two distinct elements are chemically combined the result is termed a compound

The term element was first used by the Greek philosopher Plato in about 360 BC Plato believed that the elements introduced a century earlier

106

by Empedocles were composed of small polyhedral forms tetrahedron (fire) octahedron (air) icosahedrons (water) and cube (earth)There are 118 elements known today Some elements occur pure in nature and have been known for thousands of years Elements like iron silver gold mercury lead tin and sulphur were known to the ancients They were given Latin names by the early chemists For example iron was called ferrum silver was called argentum and gold was called aurum

The first modern list of chemical elements was given in Antoine Lavoisierrsquos 1789 Elements of chemistry which contained thirty-three elements including light and caloric During the 19 th century there was an increase in the number of elements discovered as chemists began to adopt quantitative methods Dmitri Mendeleev had sixty-six elements in his periodic table of 1869 By the end of the 19th century 81 elements had been known Almost twice as many elements were discovered in the 20th century as were discovered up to that time Credit for proof of elemental character goes to scientists in England France Sweden Germany Portugal and the United States Three of those scientists were Marie Skladovska Curie (radium polonium) Maquerite Perey (francium) and Ida Tacke (rhenium)

Each element has a name and has been given a shortened symbol of one or two letters The element carbon is symbolized by the letter C the element neon by letter Ne Ten of the elements have symbols derived from the capitalized first letter of the Latin name of the element and if necessary by a second letter Other elements have symbols that can be derived from their English names

But now letrsquos consider a substance like water Water can be identified by its properties colour taste melting and boiling temperatures and ability to dissolve sugar and salt A demonstration of electrolysis can easily show that water can be changed into other substances hydrogen gas and oxygen gas Since water can be decomposed into two other substances water must contain at least two kinds of atoms Water is a compound

Sugar is another substance that you know One property of sugar is its sweetness Another property is that it dissolves in water Still another is the way it behaves when heated Under definite temperature sugar not only begins to melt to a liquid but it also begins to decompose Sugar can be decomposed to form water and charcoal in definite amounts Sugar is a compound

Actually there is a set of characteristics called properties that characterize each substance Chemists sometimes speak about chemical changes and physical changes Physical changes do not mean a change in the composition of a substance For example breaking freezing melting boiling and deforming a substance such as lead are considered physical changes A chemical change or chemical reaction however changes the composition and characteristic or special properties of a substance

107

Note almost twice as many elements ndash почти в два раза больше элементов

Exercise 1 Translate the following word combinationsTo dissolve sugar and salt to adopt quantitative methods a set of characteristics under definite temperature to dissolve in water to produce in definite amounts to identify the substance by its properties to derive the name from melting and boiling temperatures to consider a substance elements occurring in nature

108

Exercise 5 Make up the outline to the text and speak about chemical elements and compounds according to it

Exercise 6 Read the following passages and translate them with the help of a dictionary

PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS

As chemists discovered new elements they also discovered that certain elements behave in a similar manner Beginning in the mid-1800rsquos several chemists suggested ways to organize the known elements into a periodic table so that those with similar properties would be grouped together Chief among these researchers were Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev a Russian chemist and the German chemist Julius Lotcher Meyer DI Mendeleev developed a form of a periodic law a basic principal in chemistry His law states that the properties of chemical elements reoccur in regular pattern when the elements are arranged according to their atomic weight Mendeleevrsquos work together with that of Meyerrsquos led to the periodic table a systematic arrangement of the elements

In 1869 Mendeleev proposed his arrangements of the elements in order of increasing atomic weight and according to similarity in properties Mendeleevrsquos table has blank spaces for unknown elements Later using the periodic law he predicted the properties of these unknown elements His predictions were confirmed by the discovery between 1875 and 1886 of three elements with these properties Mendeleev also discovered the phenomenon of critical temperature the temperature at which a gas or vapour may be liquefied by pressure

Turning the Table on Refrigerants

The Freon compounds that are used to absorb heat in refrigerators and air conditioners were discovered in 1937 by Thomas Midgley an American chemist The following is his description of how the periodic table was usedldquoWhat was wanted was obvious ndash a nontoxic nonflammable refrigerant The desired combination of properties was a boiling point between Odeg and - 40degC stability nontoxicity and nonflammability I decided to bring into play the Periodic Table Perhaps volatility could be related to it some way It takes but a fraction of a second to see this is true The elements on the right-hand side of the Periodic table are the only ones which make compounds sufficiently volatile for the purpose in hand In fact only a certain number of these elements need to be considered Volatile compounds of boron silicon phosphorus arsenic antimony bismuth selenium tellurium and iodine are all too unstable and toxic to consider Now look at the remaining elements ndash

109

carbon nitrogen oxygen fluorine sulphur chlorine and bromine Every refrigerant used has been made from combinations of these elements Flammability decreases from left to right Toxicity usually decreases from the heavy elements at the bottom to lighter elements at the top These two trends focus on fluorine It was an exciting deduction Seemingly no one previously had considered it possible that fluorine might be nontoxic in some of its compoundsrdquo

Numerous Freons are now made to provide useful kinds of refrigerators air conditioners and freezers for preparing or storing foods

Chemical elements of living matter

1 Living matter contains about one-third of the elements of the Mendeleyev Periodic Table Only hydrogen carbon nitrogen and iodine are found in higher concentrations in the human body than in the earth Six other elements are found in roughly the same proportions oxygen phosphorus sulphur chlorine potassium and calcium 2 Besides hydrogen oxygen is the element present in the human body in the greatest amount It constitutes about 65 of the total (by weight) amountMost amount of oxygen is combined with hydrogen as water ndash the most abundant compound of the human body constituting 45 to 75 by weight Water itself is essential to keep the body hydrated but it also plays an absolutely vital role in respiration The exact amount depends principally on age sex and build relatively infants have more than adults men more than women There may also be considerable differences between healthy and ill people and the water content of the body may be affected by drugs3 Carbon is the second most abundant element found inside the human body Carbon is excreted from the body in the form of carbon dioxide which is a waste product of respiration Carbon is also the main component of glucose and other sugars The unique nature of living matter is due to its organic constituents ie compounds based on a carbon chain 4 There are some important organic chemicals usually ions that are essential to health For example calcium and phosphorus for the teeth and bones and iron is essential in the hemoglobin of the blood transporting the oxygen throughout the bodySodium potassium and chlorine ions deserve special emphasis because they regulate the electrolyte equilibrium in the blood and body tissues and help maintain proper fluid balance inside and outside the cells This balance is

110

controlled primarily by the Na+K+ ion ratio which ideally is 06 Potassium is the major cation within cells the 19 to 56 gday requirements must be replenished since the ion is excreted in the urine Na+K+ deficiency is fairly common in people using a diuretic to control body fluids The Na+ (1-2gday) and Cl- (17-51 gday) requirements are usually easy to meet since most foods contain NaCl in fact the average Na+ intake in the United States is about 10 gday between five and ten times the amount needed Excess sodium intake may contribute to hypertension or high blood pressure5 Phosphorus is another very important mineral One of its functions involves energy production Other important ions occurring in living matter besides those formed from organic acids and bases are bicarbonate ammonium phosphate and sulphate The bony skeleton and the teeth contain lithium fluoride as well Additional important compounds include carbon dioxide and oxygen

TOXIC SUBSTANCES IN MANrsquoS ENVIRONMENT

1 Read the title of the text and say what it is about2 Name some toxic substances known to you3 Say whether

a) you have ever been in contact with any toxic substance (s)b) you know how to act in case of poisoning

4 Read the text and formulate its main idea

112

The human body is a complex system of chemical compounds When an excessive amount of a single element or compound occurs in the body toxic reactions can be expected

Sometimes chemicals present in small amounts affect the biochemical functions of the body Lethal doses are usually expressed in milligrams (mg of substance per kilogram (kg) weight of the subject) For example cyanide ion (CN-) is generally fatal to human in doses of 1 mg of CN - per kg of body weight For a 200-pound person 000032 ounce of cyanide is a lethal dose Examples of somewhat less toxic substances and the probable lethal doses for an average person are morphine 1-50 mg per kg aspirin 50-500 mg per kg methyl alcohol 05-5 g per kg ethyl alcohol 5-15 g per kg

Substances we take in through food and water or through the air we breathe may influence our health While some substances are harmful others can be beneficial eg fluoride preventing caries water disinfectants killing germs etc

Lets consider such toxic substances as arsenic fluorides and mercury

ARSENIC 1 Where is arsenic formed

Arsenic is found in the natural environment About one third of the arsenic in the atmosphere comes from natural sources and the rest comes from man-made sources

The amounts of arsenic found in living animals plants and microbes vary 2 What are the ways of arsenic exposure

Humans are exposed mainly through food water and cigarette smoking Food is usually the largest source Arsenic is one of many hundreds of chemicals present in cigarette smoke The quantities of arsenic breathed in by non-smokers are very small except in industrially polluted areas Smokers inhale more because arsenic is one of many hundreds of chemicals present in cigarette smoke

Many arsenic compounds are quickly transformed and eliminated from the body via the urine 3 What are the effects of arsenic exposure

Many parts of the body may be affected by arsenic including the skin gut (кишка) lungs heart blood vessels immune system urinary system reproductive organs and the nervous system

Long-term exposure to high levels of arsenic in drinking water can cause thickening and pigment spots in the skin and cancer of the skin lungs bladder or kidney

FLUORIDES

113

1 What are fluorides Fluorides are organic and inorganic compounds containing the

fluorine element Generally colourless the different fluoride compounds are more or

less soluble in water and can take the form of a solid liquid or gasThese are important industrial chemicals with a number of uses but the largest fluorides uses are for aluminum production drinking water fluoridation and the manufacture of fluoridated dental preparations 2 How are humans exposed to fluorides

Food and drinking water typically contain at least small amounts of fluorides

In drinking water fluoride can either be naturally present or artificially added for the prevention of dental caries

All foodstuffs contain at least small amounts of fluoride Humans retain 60 to 90 of the fluoride taken in and accumulate almost all of it in their bones and teeth 3 What effects have actually been seen in humans

Fluoride can help prevent cavities but as the amount taken in increases it can also harm teeth (dental fluorosis) and bones (skeletal fluorosis) MERCURY1 What is mercury

Mercury is a chemical element with symbol Hg It is a silver-coloured metal and unlike any other metal it is a liquid at room temperature It flows so easily and rapidly that it is sometimes called quicksilver

Mercury compounds have uses in agriculture and industry Mercury however is extremely poisonous and can cause illness or death After many people realized its dangers industries and government agencies began trying to reduce the amount of mercury reaching the environment

2 What are the main uses of mercuryMercury has many properties (qualities) that make it useful For

example mercury expands and contracts evenly when heated or cooled It also remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures These properties have prompted its use in thermometers

3 What compounds does mercury form Can they be useful for people

Chemists divide mercury compounds into two groups (1) mercurous and (2) mercuric Mercurous compounds include mercurous chloride (Hg2Cl2) also called calomel and mercurous sulphate (Hg2SO2) Calomel is an antiseptic used to kill bacteria Scientists use mercurous sulphate to speed up certain tests on organic compounds

Mercuric compounds include mercuric chloride (HgCl2) a powerful poison that surgeons once used to disinfect wounds Several organic

114

mercuric compounds have important medical uses For example diuretics which doctors use to treat kidney disease contain these compounds The antiseptic Mercurochrome is also a mercuric compound

4 What effect may mercury have on plants animals and the environment

Mercury in the environment is harmful chiefly because its poisonous compounds have been found in plants and animals that people use for food Scientists have discovered poisonous mercury compounds in such foods as eggs fish grain and meat Mercury acts as a cumulative poison ndash that is the body has difficulty eliminating it Thus it may collect over a long time eventually reaching dangerous levels

Among the most dangerous mercury compounds are those containing methyl mercury They can damage brain cells

ounce ndash унция (= 28 г) cavity ndash полость впадина

Exercise 1 Read the following sentences and ask your groupmates the questions to which the given sentence will be the answers1 Some substances are harmful for the organism (What hellip)2 Fluoride can be beneficial in preventing caries (What substance hellip)3 About ⅓ of the arsenic in the atmosphere comes from natural sources

(How much hellip)4 Arsenic is one of the many hundreds of chemicals present in cigarette

smoke (Where hellip)5 Many arsenic compounds are eliminated from the body via the urine

(How hellip)6 The skin the heart the lungs the blood vessels the immune system the

urinary system and some others may be affected by arsenic (What hellip)7 Fluorides are added to dental products to prevent cavities (To what hellip)8 Human retains 60 to 90 of the fluoride taken in (What is the

percentage hellip)9 If taken in excess amount fluoride can harm teeth and bones (In what

case hellip)10 Mercury flows so easily and rapidly that it is sometimes called

quicksilver (Why hellip)11 Mercury remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures (Does hellip or

hellip)12 Mercuric chloride a powerful poison was used to disinfect wounds (For

what purpose hellip)13 A mercuric compound Mercuchrome is used as antiseptic (What hellip)14 Mercury acts as a cumulative poison (Does hellip)

ТАБЛИЦА МЕНДЕЛЕЕВА В ОРГАНИЗМЕ

О том что в организмах содержатся металлы было известно давно Однако их исключительное значение для живой природы открылось на стыке наук физики биологии химии и медицины

В организме человека как и в водах Мирового океана находятся все элементы таблицы Менделеева Даже такой редкий и радиоактивный металл как уран хотя количество его ничтожно мало ndash всего 000009 грамма

Распределяются (distribute) элементы в нашем организме неравномерно (unevenly) Каждому органу в зависимости от выполняемой функции свойственны определенные химические

118

элементы в необходимых концентрациях Наибольшее их количество накапливается в печени (liver) В плазме крови (blood plasma) и в волосах химические элементы содержатся в незначительных количествах

Все химические элементы нашего организма подразделяются на две неравные группы Первая группа ndash макроэлементы В неё входят 10 незаменимых элементов калий натрий кальций железо медь магний молибден кобальт цинк и марганец Вторую группу ndash микроэлементов ndash составляют все оставшиеся элементы В здоровом организме и макро- и микроэлементы сбалансированы

Нарушение баланса микроэлементов влечет за собой изменение функции (disfunction) в дальнейшем и морфологической структуры клетки органа организма вызывая различные заболевания в том числе и онкологические

В крови больных ишемией (ischemia) и инфарктом (infarct) например обнаружены повышенные концентрации марганца и никеля но ndash дефицит магния кальция меди железа и бария Для нормального сердечного ритма (heart rate) необходимо достаточное поступление в организм именно кальция и магния что обеспечивает правильный электролитический обмен

Недостаток цинка селена и хрома указывает на пониженный иммунитет Дефицит магния и избыток (excess) натрия влияют на уровень артериального давления (arterial pressure)

ЙОДДефицит его в организме вызывает гипотиреоз (hypothyrosis) так

как йод принимает участие в выработке тиреоидина (thyroidin) Недостаток тиреоидина ведет к нарушению интеллектуального и физического здоровья Дефицит йода вызывает необратимые нарушения у новорожденных умственную отсталость (mental retardation) кретинизм (cretinism) олигофрению (oligophrenia)

Исследования последних лет в разных странах мира показали что в регионах с выраженным йодным дефицитом средние показатели умственного развития снижаются на 15-20 По мнению ВОЗ недостаток йода является самой распространенной (widespread) формой умственной отсталости которую можно предупредить (prevent)

Дефицит йода в Беларуси пытаются предупредить добавлением к пищевой соли йодистого калия 25 граммов на (per) тонну соли Срок хранения такой соли не более 4-х месяцев так как йод улетучивается (evaporate)

Какая-то часть дефицита йода восполняется за счет овощей и фруктов Значительное количество йода содержится в чесноке (garlic) свекле Много ndash в субтропических плодах фейхоа Но особенно богаты им все морепродукты

119

Выделяется (eliminate) йод из организма преимущественно через почки (kidneys) ndash до 80 а также через молочные (mammary) слюнные (salivary) и потовые железы (sweat glands) частично с желчью (bile)

MEDICINAL HERBSI

The principal parts of a plant are 1) the root system 2) the stems and leaves 3) the reproductive part made up of flowers fruits or seeds The roots grow downward into the soil and have two main functions ndash to absorb plant nutrients and water from the soil and to anchor the plant As to stems and leaves they are usually above the ground The food used in growth by green plants is manufactured in the leaves from the raw materials taken from the soil and air This process is known as photosynthesis To support the leaves and to connect them with the roots are the main functions of the stem A flower is the part of the plant where seeds are produced Thus to produce seeds the plant must have flowersHerbal medicine also called botanical medicine or phytomedicine refers to using plants seeds fruits roots leaves bark or flowers for medicinal purposes Plants that give drugs have both active substances the so-called primary plant products and inactive substances the so-called secondary products The constituents and active principles vary in quantity at different seasons of the year and the majority of plant materials are usually best collected during the dry season when the herbs are at peak maturity and concentration Roots and rhizomes Best collected from October to February when the plants are more vigorously storing food in their underground organsLeaves The most opportune time is when the plant is about to bloom

135

Flowers Best collected in the time of pollination Buds are preferred collected in the morning after the morning dew has evaporated flowers just before or shortly after opening Dry the herbal materials as quickly as possibleBark materials and stems Generally best gathered in summer time as the bark of any plant usually contains richer nutritive substances including the medicinal metabolites Fruits and seeds Fully ripened fruits and mature seeds are preferred Turn the fleshy fruit frequently for even dryingWhole plant When the whole plant is desired it is advisable to harvest the plant at the time when the flowers are all in bloom

IIThe moisture content of the dried plant materials should be less than 10 before storageThe dried plant materials should be placed in plastic containers or tightly covered bottles The storage place should be dry well-ventilated and spacious Drug materials can be kept on large open wooden shelves The odour of a drug of plant origin may be distinct or indistinct depending upon the amount of volatile constituents the drug possesses It is described as aromatic balsamic spicy camphorous etc When it is difficult to compare the odour with other substances it is described as characteristicAccording to taste substances may be classified into four groups1 Those possessing a true taste such as acid sweet alkaline bitter2 Those possessing no taste and thus are tasteless3 Those possessing a characteristic odour which gives name to the so-

called ldquotasterdquo They may be grouped broadly into those which are agreeable or pleasant (aromatic balsamic spicy) and disagreeable or unpleasant (alliaceous camphorous etc)

4 Those giving certain sensation to the tongue (mucilaginous oily astringent pungent acrid nauseous)

NATURErsquoS MEDICINES

1 Without plants there would be no life on Earth In ancient times plants played a vital role in healing and many are still used by the modern pharmaceutical industry2 The Assyrians and Egyptians the early civilized people started cultivating plants By the seventh century they had produced a systematically arranged list of medicinal plants In China medical authorities recognize the medical properties of more than 5800 plants They classified the medicinal effects of the plants on the various parts of the body and then tested them to determine their toxicity what dosages would be lethal etc For example cassia bark is warming in nature and is useful in treating colds Mint is cooling in nature and is used to relieve the symptoms of illness resulting from heat factors 3 One of the most widely used plants that was known to man 5000 years ago is garlic It is well known that garlic is therapeutically useful for the following purposes it is a powerful agent in preventing diphtheria typhus tuberculosis pneumonia it is useful in all respiratory infections especially in symptoms of a dry hacking cough in colds asthma and bronchitis and in many other cases It is also an excellent nerve tonic4 Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a popular alternative to commonly prescribed medications for sleep problems Unlike many prescription sleeping pills valerian may have fewer side effects such as morning drowsiness5 Clinical studies found that Echinacea supplements decreased the chance of getting a cold by 58 It also shortened the duration of a cold by 14 days 6 Used correctly herbs can help treat a variety of conditions and in some cases may have fewer side effects than some conventional medications But some herbs may cause allergic reactions and some are toxic if used improperly or at high doses Taking herbs on your own increases your risk so it is important to consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking herbal medicines

POISONOUS PLANTS

Poisonous plants when used in small or moderate amounts cause a harmful reaction resulting in illness or death Many ornamental plants such as oleander lilly-of-the-valley and mistletoe1 are poisonous Some plants contain both edible and poisonous parts potatoes and tomatoes are common plant foods but their green parts are poisonous

The poisonous compound may be distributed2 throughout all parts of the plant or it may accumulate in one part more than in any other such as the root or berry Every plant may vary in the amount of toxins it contains due to different growing conditions and slight variations in subspecies Certain plants however can be highly toxic when young and harmless later

Usually more than 60g of the poisonous part of the plant must be eaten by an average adult before poisonous results Some plants however are toxic in small amounts for instance one or two castor beans the seeds of castor-oil plant may kill a child

Poisonous plants cause painful skin irritations3 upon contact they cause internal poisoning when eaten and they poison through skin absorption or inhalation into the respiratory tract After ingestion4 the poison may act immediately on the digestive tract Symptoms of ingestion poisoning can include nausea vomiting diarrhea depressed heartbeat hallucinations dry mouth coma and death Some plants affect the heart (oleander) Plants containing alkaloids often produce unpleasant or dangerous reactions in the nervous system Examples are paralysis hallucinations or heart block A few poisons act directly within the cells of the body Cyanide for example prevents cells of the body from using oxygen

First aid in case of poisoningThe symptoms of poisoning depend on both the amount of poison

ingested and the individualrsquos reaction to the poison as every person has a different level of resistance to toxic substances

Action If the victim5 has eaten a poisonous plant or mushroom summon6 emergency medical aid immediately If the victim has been in

140

contact with a poisonous plant like poison ivy7 ensure that your hands are protected before removing the victimrsquos contaminated8 clothing Do not touch other parts of the victimrsquos body especially the eyes Wash the affected area several times with soap and water Calamine lotion9 may be applied

If the victim is conscious10 Ask which plant was eaten Induce11

vomiting by giving the patient a glass of syrup of ipecac12 Save any vomit13

for medical analysis Do not induce vomiting if the patient is unconscious Give the patient milk or water to drink in order to dilute the poison left

in the body If the victim is unconscious Place the victim in the recumbent

position14 Do not leave the victim alone Do not give the victim food or drink or induce vomiting

Belladonna

Belladonna is probably named in honour of Italians who made eye drops of the fresh juice to dilate their pupils and make them appear more alluring According to a medieval superstition witches used belladonna in their ceremonies to promote hallucinations and it was combined with aconite to produce the sensation of flying Gerard described the herb as ldquoa plant so furious and deadlyrdquo Belladonna has powerful sedative and narcotic properties mainly due to the presence of two poisonous crystalline alkaloids One of them atropine affects the autonomous nervous system Today ophthalmologists still use atropine to dilate the pupils and it also antidotes the nerve gas discharges from chemical weapons The other alkaloid is used as a sedative Belladonna extracts are used medicinally to treat ailments characterized by spasms including Parkinsonrsquos disease epilepsy asthma and whooping cough Atropine also controls mucous secretions and may be found in medications for colds and fever Homeopathically belladonna is prescribed for scarlet fever inflammations throbbing headaches and sore throats

All parts of plants are highly poisonous They should be taken only under medical supervision All parts of the fresh plants give off an unpleasant smell when bruised and are extremely poisonous Black berries contain a sweet inky juice that is deadly poison

Camphor is produced by steaming wood chips from the camphor tree During this process camphor collects in an oily layer on the chips The oily substance is drained and pressed to remove the oil and water Camphor is then left in the form of whitish almost transparent crystals The crystals are usually purified by sublimation a process by which the camphor changes directly from a solid to a vapour leaving behind impurities Chemists now produce synthetic camphor in laboratories

Camphor is used in cosmetics lacquers and pharmaceuticals Spirits of camphor ndash mixture of 10 parts camphor 70 parts alcohol and 20 parts water ndash is a mild antiseptic Camphor is also combined with another compound to make camphorated parachlorophenol a germ-killing drug sometimes used in dental work Chemists use camphor to denature ethyl alcohol the type of

ЭТОТ ВКУСНЫЙ ШОКОЛАД

Ученые естественно не могли пройти мимо какао не попытавшись выявить в нем активное действующее начало В 1841 году адъюнкт Петербургского университета АА Введенский извлек (extracted) из какао-бобов новый алкалоид который назвал теобромином

Плоды теобромы помещаются (are placed) в специальные емкости (containers) и подвергаются брожению (ферментации) (are undergone) Какао-бобы прошедшие ферментацию содержат 50 ndash масла 15 ndash белка 9 ndash ароматических и экстрактивных веществ 7 ndash крахмала (starch) 5 ndash дубильных веществ (tannins) 5 ndash минеральных веществ 15 ndash катехинов (catechins) со свойствами витамина РР 05-2 ndash теобромина и 02 кофеина Калорийность (caloric content) бобов составляет 600 калорий на (per) 100 граммов массы

Масло какао вот уже почти три века используется при изготовлении суппозиториев ndash лечебных свечей и шариков Теперь масло какао все больше используется для производства губной помады (for the manufacture of lipstick) а суппозитории все чаще готовятся из гидрогенизированного жира ndash бутирола

Какао-напиток ndash ценный диетический продукт Он высококалориен поэтому назначается (is indicated) на стадии выздоровления (recovery) после изнурительных (exhausting) заболеваний Какао рекомендуют пить при сердечной слабости (asthenia of the heart) учитывая его положительное влияние на силу сердечных сокращений (contractions) и относительно высокое содержание (content) калия

В чистом виде теобромин как лекарственный препарат практически не используется Он раздражает желудок (irritates the stomach) плохо и медленно всасывается (is absorbed) в кишечнике (the intestines) и эффективность его крайне низкая Поэтому созданы и

144

продаются в аптеках препараты в которых действие теобромина усилено (is enhanced by) другими компонентами

A person usually asks the pharmacist or the chemist whether the medicine is for internal or external application He may also ask the chemist to give him something for gargling something to produce sweating a remedy for diarrhea headache earache backache or stomachache

At the prescription department pharmacists fill prescriptions written by doctors or dentists and prepare labels for medicines The name of the medicine the single dose and the total dose are indicated on the label or signature On the labels pharmacists include directions for patients given in the prescriptions The labels for the drugs prepared in the pharmacy are of different colors Labels of a green color indicate medicines for internal use blue labels indicate drugs for injections Drugs for external application have labels of a yellow color Drugs used for treatment of eye diseases have labels of a pink color

All medicines are kept in drug cabinets on the open shelves and in the refrigerator Poisonous drugs are kept in the drug cabinet with the letter A Strong effective drugs are kept in the drug cabinet having the letter B The drugs prepared in the pharmacy for immediate use should be kept in the refrigerator Powders galenical preparations and ready-made medicines are usually kept on the shelves protected from light at a constant temperature not higher than a room one At the chemist department medicines are kept according to their therapeutic effect drugs for cough cardiac medicines drugs for headache Disinfectants herbs and health-care items such as hot-water bottles medicine droppers and thermometers are kept separately

Exercise 7 Read the following text and do the tasks which follow it

STORAGE OF DRUGS

1 There are strict legal requirements for the purchase (покупка) storage use identification dispensing and prescription of drugs

2 Many drugs are poisonous if taken accidentally or in excess (в избытке) others are caustic and may cause painful burns Some common sense precautions (из соображений здравого смысла) in storing drugs are to keep them well away from strong light heat pungent odors food and drinks to keep poisons up in a special poisons cabinet and to keep caustics on the lowest shelf where accidental spillage (случайно пролившаяся жидкость) cannot affect the eyes or burn the face

3 The condition of the drugs stored for long period depends generally on the conditions of storage over this period and in certain cases depends on the drugs themselves

4 Certain drugs will keep perfectly if they are stored in well closed containers in the dark and in a dry atmosphere at a moderate (умеренная) temperature On the other hand a drug such as digitalis even if it is stored under the most ideal conditions will have lost all its potency by the end of one year while other drugs will be all right even if they are stored under the most varied conditions for long periods (for ex the ampoules of strychnine or the capsules containing drug powders)

5 Some medical products need to be stored at a lower than ambient (окружающая) temperature to assure (обеспечивать) their quality and

163

efficacy These are often referred to as ldquocold chain productsrdquo or fridge linesrdquo They are to be stored and distributed in strict accordance with (в строгом соответствии) the product labeling requirements Some cold chain items such as vaccine insulin biotech products and products derived from (полученные) blood or plasma can be classified as high risk ones because they are at risk from freezing as well as elevated temperatures Other products for example chloramphenicol eye drops may be labeled as requiring storage between 2deg and 8degC but a short deviation from (отклонение) this temperature range presents less of danger to users

6 Stocks of drugs must be stored in accordance with manufacturerrsquos instructions and not kept beyond their expiry date (срок годности) Records of their purchase supply and expiry date must be kept for at least 11 years Any drugs which have passed their expiry date should be discarded (выбрасывать) together with any solutions which have become discolored or cloudy

Task 1 Pay attention to how the narration is structured and complete the gaps with the words and phrases from the box

a) stocks of drugsb) strict legal requirementsc) the expiry date d) cold chain products

e) poisons and causticsf) the condition g) storing h) examples

Paragraph 1 introduces the fact that there are __________ for buying storage use identification dispensing and prescription of medicines

How is herbal medicine sold in stores

The herbs available in most stores come in several different forms teas syrups oils liquid extracts tinctures and dry extracts (pills or capsules) Teas can be made from dried herbs left to soak for a few minutes in hot water or by boiling herbs in water and then straining the liquid Syrups made from concentrated extracts and added to sweet-tasting preparations are often used for sore throats and coughs Oils are extracted from plants and often used as rubs for massage either by themselves or as part of an ointment or cream Tinctures and liquid extracts are made of active herbal ingredients dissolved in a liquid (usually water alcohol or glycerol) Tinctures are typically a 15 or 110 concentration meaning that one part of the herb is prepared with five to ten parts (by weight) of the liquid Liquid extracts are more concentrated than tinctures and are typically a 11 concentration A dry extract form is the most concentrated form of an herbal product (typically 21 - 81) and is sold as a tablet capsule or lozengeCurrently no organization or agency regulates the manufacture or certifies the labeling of herbal preparations This means you cant be sure that the amount of the herb contained in the bottle or even from dose to dose is the same as what is stated on the label Some herbal preparations are standardized meaning that the preparation is guaranteed to contain a specific amount of the active ingredients of the herb However it is still important to ask companies making standardized herbal products about their products guarantee It is important to talk to your doctor or an expert in herbal medicine about the recommended doses of any herbal products

A PRESCRIPTION

The word ldquoprescriptionrdquo from ldquoprerdquo (before) and ldquoscriptrdquo (writing written) refers to the fact that the prescription is an order that must be written down before a compounding drug can be prepared

Prescriptions are handwritten on preprinted prescription form Each prescription is datedA complete prescription is made up of five essential parts 1) the superscription 2) the inscription 3) the subscription 4) the signature and 5) the prescriberrsquos name The superscription section contains the date and patientrsquos information (name address age etc) The inscription is the body of the prescription This contains the ingredients and quantities of each The traditional symbol Rx separates the subscription from the inscription section The symbol originated in medieval manuscripts as an abbreviation of the Latin verb ldquoreciperdquo meaning ldquoto takerdquo Itrsquos the instruction to the pharmacist ndash ldquotake the following components and compound this medication for the patientrdquo The subscription always follows the inscription and contains the writerrsquos instruction to the pharmacist This designates the form of preparation (mixture tablets ointments etc) the strength (in words and figures) and the quantity of the total number (in words and figures) The signature consists of the directions to the patient This information is placed on the label of the container in which the medication is dispensed The prescriberrsquos name is the part of the prescription that guarantees its authenticity Some prescriptions will specify whether and how many ldquorepeatsrdquo or ldquorefillsrdquo are allowed that is whether the patient may obtain more of the same medication

The language of the prescription was unique in Great Britain some half a century ago when all the names of drugs were latinized It was possible because the physician used only dosed drugs Today all prescriptions are written in English The only Latin which is used is a few traditional abbreviations in the instruction to the pharmacist and on the label

A more serious problem is the naming of drugs In the old days drugs had only one official name At present each drug has at least three names They are the chemical name the so-called generic name and trade name The chemical name is difficult to use and remember except for the simplest drugs because of its length and complexity The trade or brand name is the

166

private property of the drug company and is copy right Many brand name drugs have less expensive generic drug substitutes that are therapeutically and biochemically equivalent Prescriptions will also contain instructions whether the prescriber will allow the pharmacist to substitute the generic version of the drug

It goes without saying that a prescription cannot be written without a very good knowledge of the dose effects of drugs Each drug has its own dose specification dependent on the pharmacological properties and metabolism of the drug

Note abbreviation ndash традиционнoе сокращение authenticity ndash подлинность unique ndash единый latinize ndash употреблять латинизмы generic name and trade name ndash официальное (фармакопейное) и

торговое название private property ndash частная собственность is copy right ndash на него распространяется авторское право It goes without saying ndash само собой разумеется dose specification ndash инструкция по дозировке

Exercise 1 Study the following Latin abbreviations used in prescriptions

Abbreviation Latin Englishbis bis twicepo per os by mouth or orallybdbid bis in die twice dailyqds quarter die sumendus four times a dayqh quaque hora every hourtds ter die sumendum three times a daytid ter in die three times a dayI one or one time M misce mixX timesNon rep non repetatur no repeatsprn as needed

Exercise 2 Insert the words from the text1 The prescription is written on the hellip 2 The body of the prescription contains hellip and is called hellip 3 The traditional symbol Rx is a hellip meaning

167

ldquohelliprdquo 4 The hellip follows the inscription and contains the direction to the pharmacist 5 The directions to the patient as to how he should take the medicine are called hellip 6 Each drug has its own dose hellip dependent on the pharmacological properties and metabolism of the drug 7 The trade name is usually known to hellip as well as to the specialists of medicine 8 In the old days drugs had only one name 9 The chemical name is difficult to hellip and hellip

Exercise 4 Debate the following answering the questions1 What is meant by a prescription 2 What is the origin of the word ldquoprescriptionrdquo 3 What are the main parts of the prescription 4 What is the difference between superscription subscription and inscription 5 What is the body of the prescription 6 What parts does the inscription consist of 7 What does the word ldquorefillrdquo mean in the prescription 8 In what language are the prescriptions written in Great Britain 9 Is Latin used in English prescriptions nowadays 10 How many names does the drug have 10 Which name of the drug is difficult to use and remember 11 Which name of the drug is usually used by the prescriber 12 What does the title MD in the prescription indicate 13 What does the dose of the drug depend on

Read and translate with the help of a dictionary

Creating thermometer scalesHow do scientists such as Gabriel Fahrenheit and Anders Celsius create new concepts such as temperature scales Many times new discoveries stem from (происходить) a scientistrsquos personal interests or observationsA cowrsquos normal body temperature is the same as a humanrsquos ndash about 986deg F Yet some evidence indicates that Fahrenheit based his primary reference point for 100deg F on the body temperature of a cow If this story is true the Fahrenheit scale was based on a sick cow Some have claimed (утверждать) that Fahrenheit chose his value of 100deg F so that the normal human body temperature would be 986deg F but this cannot be the case While most people were aware (знать) that there was a normal human body temperature its value was not determined until after the development of the thermometer scales Instead it seems that Fahrenheit based his scale on a measurement of interest to him Anders Celsius was a Swedish astronomer who had an interest in determining exactly how cold the Swedish nights were as he walked to his observatory Celsius wanted to know how warmly to dress and whether the metal telescope parts would be too cold to use in gazing at the vastness of the heavens (вглядываясь в безбрежное небо) The Celsius scale grew out of these practical concernsAs you can see scientists often have the same kinds of problems nonscientists do Sometime scientists view (рассматривать) those problems

II Present the information read using the italicized word combinations and the following phrases To begin with The problem of is rather complicated urgentcontroversal Itrsquos a well-known fact that Some more facts about are I can give some more details about I was surprised by learning that (about) My point of view is that To sum up I can go over some points raised First Second On the whole In conclusion let me say

Get the lead out

Most heavy metals are poisonous to humans and animals Lead one of these heavy metals interferes (препятствовать) with hemoglobin production in the blood and produces anemia Lead contamination can also cause mental retardation (задержка умственного развития) learning disabilities and damage to the nervous systemThe symbol for lead Pb comes from the Latin word plumbum (lead) which also gives us the words plumbing (водопровод) and plumber In the Roman Empire lead pipes carried water in the cities and lead cooking utensils (кухонная посуда) were used by wealthy Romans As a result upper-class Romans may well have suffered from lead poisoning that possibly caused brain or central nervous system damage In fact 1994 studies of ice cores (внутренность) in Greenland revealed extreme lead pollution caused by smelting (плавление) during the period from 500 BC to 300 AD Lead poisoning may have contributed to the fall of the Roman EmpireHowever the Romans arenrsquot the only ones who have been exposed (подвергаться воздействию) to toxic levels of lead Lead pigments were once common in household and furniture paints (краска) ndash lead compounds produce so many different colours that an artist could compose an entire palette (палитра) using only lead compounds Unfortunately lead poisoning from paints in older houses causes problems because old paint peels

178

(шелушиться лупиться) so readily Small children eat the paint chips nearly 250000 become ill every year In some cases permanent brain damage occurs New paints make use of other types of pigmentsAnother source of lead pollution in modern homes still involves the water supply In many homes copper water pipes are joined with lead solder (тех припой) Small amounts of solder slowly dissolve each day For this reason if you have copper pipes it is wise to run your tap water a few minutes before drinking it especially if the tap has not being used for a day or more If you wash your face or hands before drinking the tap water you can avoid wasting the water as it runs Newer homes often make use of plastic water pipes made from poly vinyl chloride or PVC These pipes are joined with a small amount of volatile solvent (летучий растворитель) Like the ancient Romans we still sometimes use glasses and dishes that contain lead lead improves the appearance and luster of crystal glass (глянец хрусталя) However crystal glass is another potential source of lead poisoning especially when used to serve acidic beverages (напитки) such as wine and soft drinks Similarly many ceramic dishes are coated with lead-containing glazes (глазурь) (especially those imported from foreign markets where the health regulations are not as much as the forefront)Physicians treat lead poisoning with EDTA or ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid EDTA forms soluble compounds called chelates with the lead permitting the body to excrete it But far preferable (намного предпочтительнее) to using EDTA as an antidote is avoiding lead exposure (продолжительное воздействие на организм) as much as possible There is no doubt that it is wise to get the lead out of paints drinking water and other everyday solutions

Although it may not be obvious most of our senses involve chemistry at one point or anotherTaste and smell are almost entirely chemical In both senses the nature of the stimulus is determined via direct chemical interactions The quality of taste is confirmed using taste buds (вкусовые сосочки языка) sensory units in the

179

tongue and mouth Taste buds respond to four different kinds of taste sweet sour salty and bitter The perception of flavor consists of varying combinations of these four kinds of taste Most ionic compounds such as NaCl taste salty and stimulate the salt-specific taste buds The sour taste usually arises from acidic substances Sweet or bitter tastes are not as restricted the taste buds perceive many chemicals as sweet including sugar artificial sweeteners glycerin and lead salts These substances have no similarity in structure shape or chemical nature The bitter taste also arises from many different compounds Temperature texture and odour blend into what people call tasteHow the sense of smell operates is still a mystery Scientists know that odour impinge on cells that make up the olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity and that molecular shape seems to play a major role in odour Some evidence suggests that odours are detected via infrared which might explain why the sense can detect quantities as small as one or two moleculesAlthough natural odours are usually due to complex mixtures of chemicals some are easily associated with a single chemical Some common odours and the chemicals mainly responsible are pine apple ndash ethyl butyrate banana ndash isoamyl acetate concord grape ndash methyl anthranilate apple ndash isoamyl isovalerate Delicious apple ndash ethyl-2-methylbutyrateFlavour and odour specialists use esters and other compounds to stimulate natural products or create new ones

SECTION 5 Plant study

Read the following text and say what the main functions of plant essential elements are

PLANT NUTRITION

More than 60 elements have been found in plant tissues These elements range from as common as carbon and hydrogen to those as exotic as platinum uranium and gold Are all these elements essential for growth

Carbon hydrogen oxygen phosphorus potassium nitrogen sulfur calcium and magnesium are required in relatively large amounts and are called macronutrients Iron chlorine copper manganese zinc boron and molybdenum are required in relatively small amounts and are called micronutrients

Functions of essential elements1 Plants require different amounts of different elements Most plants require

60 million times more hydrogen atoms than molybdenum atoms These

180

different requirements reflect different uses of these elements Hydrogen is in almost all compounds in plants while molybdenum occurs only in few

2 Different elements are absorbed in different forms Calcium and iron are absorbed as cations while phosphorus and sulfur are absorbed as anions

3 Most elements have several functions Potassium is involved in starch synthesis affects protein conformation and activates enzymes

Although the functions of essential elements are diverse they can be grouped into four general categoriesndash Essential elements can be part of structural units Carbon hydrogen and

oxygen make up carbohydrates such as cellulose Similarly nitrogen as an integral part of proteins

ndash Essential elements can be part of compounds involved in metabolism Magnesium is part of chlorophyll and phosphorus is part of ATP and nucleic acids

ndash Essential elements can activate or inhibit enzymesMagnesium stimulates several respiratory enzymes while calcium inhibits several enzymes In some cases these enzymes may be those responsible for synthesizing plant hormonesEssential elements can alter the osmotic potential of a cell

SECTION 6 In the pharmacy

Read the following passage without a dictionary and say what products can be bought in the Chineese pharmacy and what they are used for

Chinese pharmaceutical products

Visiting a Chinese pharmacy is much like being inside a miniature museum of natural sciences Tucked away (запрятанные) in row after row of tidy drawers are animal plant and mineral products each with a particular purpose Among the assortment of curiosities are cinnabar (киноварь) and amber (янтарь) to relax the nerves peach pits (косточки персика) and safflower (цветок шафрана) to improve blood circulation bears gall (желчь медведя) to relive pain and tranquilize Chinese ephedra to induce perspiration (потение) and ginseng to strengthen cardiac function

The filling of a prescription ordered by a Chinese doctor is a fascinating process to watch The pharmacist selects a few particular ingredients from the hundreds on the shelf These are taken home by the patient boiled into a ldquosouprdquo and drunk Confronted with such a steaming brew (напиток сваренный и настоянный) you might ask yourself just what the basis of this ancient medical art is

181

The Government of the Republic of China has put great effort into promoting the modernization of Chinese medicine In the area of pharmacology researchers have evaluated effectiveness analyzed tested and formulated concentrated dosages of Chinese pharmaceutical products for commercial scale The prescriptions for these drugs are easier to fill and are much more convenient for the patient than the old boiling method

English Universities

All English universities except Oxford and Cambridge are fairly new London University is the biggest of the modern universities and has many colleges and schools Oxford has 32 colleges A large college has about 5000 students about a hundred students study at a small college The college is an educational institution giving special instruction in certain subjects There are many types of colleges in England There are colleges within universities There are also technical colleges of various types colleges of arts and commerce Medical colleges are among them The college may be independent in its own affairs but is a part of the university in some matters The university gives the highest type of education It comprises a number of colleges and provides programmes for study and research beyond the college level The university is an administrative center which arranges lectures for all the students of the colleges holds examinations and gives degrees University teaching combines lectures practical classes and small group teaching in either seminars or tutorials the last being a traditional feature of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge A university usually has both faculties and departments The faculties are arts law medicine science The departments include engineering economics commerce agriculture music and technology At the head of each faculty there is a professor The staff of teachers called lecturers helps him Professors and lecturers deliver lectures to a large number of students or study with small groups All universities admit men and women but within some universities there are colleges especially for students of one sex Most of the universities provide hostels for their students

All the universities and colleges are independent self-governing institutions although they receive substantial aid from the state through the University Grants Committee The local education authorities have no responsibility for universities English universities greatly differ from each other They differ in date of foundation history traditions general

28

organization internal government methods of teaching ways of students life size etc On the whole British universities are comparatively small The approximate number is 7000-8000 students most universities having 3000 and some even less than 1500 students

The most ancient English universities are Cambridge and Oxford They date back to the 12-13th centuries and have always been universities for gentlemen Other universities are called modern or provincial They are located in large centers of industry There are no tutorial systems there These universities rely on lectures All universities charge fees which are rather high

Notes aid = assistance help tutorials = the system of individual training to charge fees = to get money for education

Exercise 1 Give Russian equivalents to the following word combinationsfairly new science faculty at the head of a staff of teachers to admit men and women within some universities to provide hostels an independent college self-governing institution substantial aid the local education authorities internal government tutorial system to charge fees

Exercise 2 Answer the questions to the text1 What is London University composed of2 Does university have faculties or departments3 What are faculties in English universities4 What do the departments include5 What do most universities provide for their students6 Are there many types of colleges in England7 What kinds of colleges are there in England8 In what do English Universities differ9 What is the number of students at British Universities10 How are other universities called11 What methods does university teaching combine

Exercise 3 Compare the organization of VSMU and that of English Universities indicating the main differences and similarities in their structural units and organization of educational process

29

Exercise 4 Read the following text and discuss it with your groupmates using as much information from the text as you can

The oldest and most famous universities in England are Oxford and Cambridge Oxford University was established in 1249 The choice of the small rural village of Oxford as a seat of learning was significant Far removed (неподверженный) from foreign influence Oxford was within comparatively easy reach of all parts of England Like London it is international because people from many parts of the world come to study at one of the twenty seven menrsquos colleges or at one of the five womenrsquos colleges that are the university They join the university ldquofamilyrdquo that has more than 9000 members The present facilities at Oxford include theology law English language and literature history humanities (гуманитарные дисциплины) social studies medicine physical and chemical science biological science

The first college at Cambridge Peterhouse was founded in 1284 and now there are twenty-four colleges A number of well-known scientists and writers among them Newton Darwin and Byron were educated in Cambridge

The organization system of the two universities differs from that of all other universities and colleges

The teachers are commonly called ldquodonsrdquo Part of the teaching is by means of lectures organized by the university Apart from lectures teaching is carried out by tutorial system for which these two universities have always been famous This is a system of individual tuition (обучение) organized by the colleges Each student goes to his tutorrsquos room once a week to read and discuss an essay which the student has prepared

Oxford and Cambridge are rather far from London and other large cities Therefore the students have to live in the university hostel or in a private room and the rent is very high Besides special fees are taken for books for laboratory work teaching aids etc Some students get scholarship but the number of these students is comparatively small

Pharmaceutical Education in Great Britain

The history of pharmaceutical education has closely followed that of medical education As the training of the physician underwent changes from the apprenticeship system to formal educational courses so did the training of the pharmacist The first pharmaceutical colleges in Great Britain were founded at the beginning of the nineteenth century

The course of instruction leading to a degree in pharmacy was extended from four to five years in 1960 The first and frequently the second year of training embracing general education subjects are often provided by a school of arts and sciences Many institutions in addition offer graduate courses in pharmacy and cognate sciences leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in pharmacy pharmacology or related disciplines These advanced courses are intended especially for those who are preparing for careers in research manufacturing or teaching in the field of pharmacy

Several schools of pharmacy have now adopted a six-year professional course leading to the degree of Doctor of Pharmacy This professional training includes many subjects common to the medical curriculum and involves training in hospital wards In this service a professionally trained pharmacist is expected to give advice to the physician in the techniques of administering medication and possible interaction of drugs in the patient along with expected side effectsSince the treatment of the sick with drugs encompasses a wide field of knowledge in the biological and physical sciences it is obvious that understanding of these sciences is necessary for adequate pharmaceutical training The basic five-year curriculum in British colleges of pharmacy embraces physics chemistry biology bacteriology physiology pharmacology and many other specialized courses such as dispensing pharmacy As the pharmacist is engaged in business as well special training is provided in merchandising accounting computer techniques and pharmaceutical jurisprudence All other countries requiring licenses to practice offer the same basic curriculum with minor variations

Before one is permitted to practice pharmacy in Great Britain as well as in other countries in which a license is required an applicant must be qualified by graduation from a recognized college of pharmacy meet specific requirements for experience and pass an examination conducted by a board of pharmacy appointed by the government The passing of this board examination carries with it the legal right to practise pharmacy The holder is then designated a registered or licensed pharmacist

THE DEVELOPMENT OF PHARMACY

Pharmacy is defined as the art and science of recognizing identifying collecting selecting preparing storing testing compounding and dispensing all substances used in preventive or in curative medicine for treating people The word ldquopharmacyrdquo comes from the Greek word pharmakon which in the modern language means ldquoa drugrdquo To the Greeks it was associated with a god or higher being who had the power of affecting people with herbs infusions etc

Pharmacy was born in old time when human being started to search for remedies for treatment of the ailments First pharmacies in Europe appeared in 1100 in monasteries Monks prepared remedies and supplied them to all needy free of charge At the same time first prescriptions were created and they were started with the words ldquoGood luckrdquo 100 years later first city pharmacies were opened in Venice Specialists for those pharmacies were prepared in accordance to widely acceptable methods of those times pupil ndash apprentice ndash master This preparation chain took 10-15 years (depending on the abilities of each person) The monks created schools and laboratories in monasteries The earliest ever found Pharmacopoeia Articles for different medicines were created by monasteries scientists But Monkrsquos schools were unable to reach scientific opportunities proposed by popular universities in Oxford Salamanca Prague and other European cities So peak of prime of those universities fell on the 13-th century

Pharmacy as an independent branch of medicine was born in Europe in 1240 when the Emperor of Holy Rome separated pharmacy from medicine However there was no special pharmaceutical training at that time The duty of a pharmacist was to prepare and sell medicines and to help the doctor In Great Britain assistants to the physicians were called apothecaries

In the 15-th century first appeared the term ldquoprovisorrdquo (from Latin foreseeing predicting) that explains the importance of the role of the pharmacists in treatment process The doctor establishes diagnosis and the

58

pharmacist foresees the tendency of the disease and with the aid of proper medicines corrects and predetermines its course and further development First proper Pharmacopoeia was published in 1581 in Spain

Much time went till pharmacy became a profession and creation of special medical establishments were found necessary Hundreds of private schools were opened in Europe that often were headed or owned by the pharmacists

In 1623 the apothecaries opened a manufacturing laboratory which produced galenical preparations This was necessary in their opinion because the drugs sold were often adulterated The laboratory was a great success and by 1671 it developed into a real chemical plant The apothecaries had the right to dispense medicines

Practices of giving education to the pharmacists within Universities were first introduced in France and England at the beginning of the 19-th century The education was oriented on gaining knowledge and practical skills in manufacture and use of the medicines But later educational courses started to include more theoretical subjects It was connected to the fact that during following decades pharmacies gradually lost manufacturing functions and were more concentrated on sales of medicines and advice to the patients

In Russia pharmacy as a branch of science started its development since the decree of Peter I in the 18-th century According to the decree pharmacists got special training at the hospital chemistsrsquo and private chemistsrsquo Some of them had practice at the chemistsrsquo orchards (gardens) The pupils studied botany and had practice of pharmacy at the hospital chemistsrsquo At the end of their study they had an examination for the title of a pharmacist and chemist-assistant

Pharmacy is now made possible by organized pharmaceutical education pharmaceutical research and pharmaceutical industry

Part V Rendering

Read the following information and render it into English

ФАРМАЦЕВТИЧЕСКОЕ ОБРАЗОВАНИЕ В ИЗРАИЛЕ

60

На фармацевтов в Израиле учат всего в двух местах в Еврейском университете в Иерусалиме который считается главным в стране а также на факультете Беер-Шевского университета в Южном округе Израиля Поступить в университет очень сложно поступить на фармацевтический факультет ndash практически невозможно Люди закончившие школу сдают экзамен на аттестат зрелости (school-leaving certificate) Помимо этого есть некоторые предметы (математика физика химия биология и английский) которые можно изучать на повышенном уровне (advanced level) Также для поступления в израильский университет необходимо сдать единый (unified) экзамен ndash laquoпсихометриюraquo Она включает тест с вопросами общего характера из разных предметов школьной программы тест по математике английскому языку и грамматике иврита Для того чтобы поступить на фармацевта надо набрать 700 баллов по психометрии и иметь средний балл аттестата не менее 90-95 что является крайне жестким (stringent severe) критерием отбора Поэтому большинство израильтян едут учиться в Европу Лидерами по обучению молодых специалистов являются Каунас в Литве и Будапешт в Венгрии Как правило на фармацевта учатся 3-4 года (первая степень бакалавр) Уже с первой степенью по фармацевтике в Израиле можно работать фармацевтом что довольно необычно тк по другим специальностям надо отучиться как минимум на вторую степень магистра

Большинство фармацевтов получив степень бакалавра сразу же идут учиться на вторую степень подрабатывая на полставки (part-time job) Вторая степень выполняется в какой-либо лаборатории и связана с выполнением небольшой научной работы вроде того что у нас называется laquoписать дипломraquo Это занимает еще года два По закону любой фармацевт обязан получить лицензию (get a licence) на работу в Израиле по специальности Те кто оканчивают университет в Израиле сдают формальный экзамен Те кто учились за границей имеют возможность пройти специальный полугодичный курс организованный министерством здравоохранения Курс включает занятия по анатомии физиологии органической химии биохимии технологии а также английскому языку

КАК СТАТЬ АПТЕКАРЕМ В КАНАДЕ

Работу фармацевтов и продажу лекарств в Канаде контролирует Канадская фармацевтическая ассоциация Большинство фармацевтов Канады (80) работают в розничных (retail) аптеках Около 15 фармацевтов работают в госпитальных аптеках а остальные ndash в

61

фармакологических ассоциациях компаниях или консультационных фирмах Как правило для работы фармацевтом необходимо иметь диплом бакалавра фармацевтики одного из канадских университетов пройти практику в интернатуре или поработать в качестве практиканта непосредственно в аптеке а затем сдать национальный квалификационный экзамен В Канаде фармацевтов готовят в 9 университетах Программа обучения рассчитана на 4 года после этого студенты в течение года проходят практику в аптеке и далее следует 6 месяцев обучения в интернатуре В некоторых провинциях диплома бакалавра для работы в аптеке вполне достаточно и дальнейшее обучение уже не требуется

In the chemical laboratory

The chemical laboratory is a place where you can perform in actual the different reactions that you had learnt in the books or heard in lectures The students of the pharmaceutical faculty often have practical classes in chemistry in the chemical laboratory There they carry out various experiments work with different chemical substances

The chemical laboratory consists of several rooms a room for storing the necessary substances a room for recording the obtained findings and a room for washing laboratory vessels These rooms are large and light well ventilated because chemists often work with harmful substances that have a strong and unpleasant odor

A good chemical laboratory is fully equipped with the basic measuring and analytical apparatuses that allow a good study of all the branches of chemistry However all experiments should be performed under the supervision of the lab instructor only

The laboratory is equipped with special tables which are higher than usual ones On each of the tables one can see shelves and racks with

78

laboratory vessels and glassware of all kinds some of them are empty while others contain the reagents

The most widely used reagents which are available at every laboratory are acids (nitric sulphuric and hydrochloric) alkali (ammonium solution potassium solution sodium solution) oxides inorganic salts indicators (phenolphthalein methylene green)

Reagents which are used in large amounts are supplied in big boxes or bottles Reagents which are seldom used are supplied in amounts up to 10 or 11g or even less

The most common and widely used equipment is that made of glass With glassware it is easy to spot what is happening inside The laboratory vessels and glassware are divided into three groups glassware for general use glassware for special use and glassware for measuring Glassware for general use includes test-tubes funnels flasks of different shape and size retorts etc Special glassware includes things necessary for carrying out different analyses For example special vessels for determination of molecular weights for the determination of melting- and boiling-points etc The glassware for measuring includes graduated cylinders burettes graduated flasks measuring glasses pipettes and others Burettes are used for very accurate measurements of volumes as in volumetric analysis Volumetric flasks are used to measure specific volumes accurately especially for preparing solutions in quantitative analysis Pipettes provide a means for greatest accuracy in measuring volume Thermometers and pipettes are essential equipment for many chemistry laboratories There are the standard lab thermometers for traditional measurements or the digital instruments for very accurate and easy recording of temperature or pH level The simplest and most common of all is a liquid thermometer Mercury is a particularly suitable liquid because of its high boiling point ndash +35725degC and its low solidifying-point ndash -39degC The mercury thermometer is more accurate than the alcohol one Graduated pipettes allow for very accurate liquid measurements A balance is used to measure out small amounts of chemicals

Laboratory heating equipment is used to generate the heat required to effect a reaction or a separation The broad range of heating equipment can be divided into two broad categories steam-heated devices and electrically heated devices

There are many types of materials that are not basic but are not less important than basic They are called laboratory or lab accessories They may include pullout shelves lipped shelves laboratory stands clamps stopcocks or laboratory stoppers

The laboratory stands are used to hold test tubes beakers etc Laboratory clamps are used to hold the apparatus

The work in the chemical laboratory requires cleanliness It is necessary to keep the working place clean Glass tubes vessels bottles

79

funnels etc should be clean and ready for use It is recommended to close the glass bottles with glass caps to prevent their contamination from air

Exercise 1 Find the corresponding definitions1 test- tube a) a thing that burns or works by heat2 glassware b) a substance used to show the presence of another by

reaction3 funnel c) a glass tube closed at one end used in chemical

experiments4 reagent d) tools and instruments that help in performing and

improving the core function5 burner e) a thing that is used to hold test-tubes beakers6 accessories f) things made of glass7 stand g) a vessel wide and round at the top and narrowing to a

small tube at the bottom used for pouring liquids into a small opening

Exercise 8 Read the text ldquoTHERMOMETER SCALESrdquo and say1 What thermometer scales were established 2 Who proposed them 3 What was taken as limits 4 What limits are for each of the scales

THERMOMETER SCALES

The concept of temperature variation dates from antiquity although early measurements were based solely on the subjective sense of touch Touch is only capable of detecting temperature differences between objects it cannot provide quantitative temperature data For example you may be able to tell if a person has a fever by placing a hand on his forehead (лоб) but exactly how high is the fever That question requires quantitative data our senses can mislead us but a thermometer can give us that data Gabriel Fahrenheit (German 1686-1736) devised (придумывать изобретать) the Fahrenheit scale the oldest common temperature scale in about 1714 (Prior to this Galileo Galilei had invented an open tube thermometer in about 1593) One of Fahrenheit`s innovation was to use mercury (ртуть) which made the liquid column easy to see Previously people had had difficulty sealing mercury-containing tubes Fahrenheit established his temperature scale by selecting reference points (ориентиры) he could reproduce He designated (обозначать) a freezing ice-snow-salt-water mixture as 0degF because this was the lowest temperature he

82

could create in his workshop Several stories purport (иметь целью) to explain his selection of the reference point for 100degF my favorite is that he selected the body temperature of a cow a measurement that interested him and others in the agricultural community Starting with these primary reference points Fahrenheit determined values of 32degF for the freezing point and 212degF for the boiling point of water Anders Celsius (Swedish astronomer 1701-1744) developed a different thermometer scale in 1742 Celsius designated the freezing and boiling points of water as 0degC and 100degC respectively His scale was originally called the Сentigrade scale because centi means 1100th part and the reference points span 100 degrees The Celsius scale has been adopted worldwide and is the official metric temperature scale The third temperature scale was the invention of Englishman Lord Kelvin (born William Thompson 1824-1907) Lord Kelvin devised his scale in 1848 It is identical to the Celsius scale but all temperatures are 273 degrees higher Thus the freezing point of water is 273 degrees K the boiling point 373 degrees K This thermometer scale was derived from (устанавливать выводить) observation of gases

Exercise 9 Translate the following passage using a dictionary

The microscope

1 The most important single piece of apparatus in a laboratory is the microscope and it must be used and cared for accordingly 2 It is used to magnify and to make visible to the eye very small bodies such as bacteria the eggs of intestinal parasites and the material found in urine sediments 3 A simple microscope is nothing more than a single magnifying lens 4 A compound microscope which is the type used in medical laboratories consists of a number of such lenses arranged in line so as to give a very great magnification 5 Complete and detailed descriptions of microscopes may be found in all books on laboratory work 6 Before attempting to use a microscope for the first time one should read over a description of its parts and their functions in order to adjust the light and the lenses properly 7 There are a few important things to keep in mind regarding its use and they are never leave the microscope exposed to direct sunlight excessive heat or splashing water never use ether alcohol or xylol to clean it never pick it up by any of the movable parts never leave immersion oil on the lens or objective as it is called but wipe it off immediately after use with a fine soft

Chemistry an experimental science

Chemistry deals with all substances that make up our environment It also deals with the changes that take place in these substances ndash changes that make the differences between a cold and lifeless planet and one that teems with life and growth Chemistry helps us understand and benefit from naturersquos wondrous ways

Chemistry is an important part of science Since every phase of our daily life is affected by the fruits of scientific activity everyone should know what scientific activity is what it can do and how it works The study of chemistry helps you learn these things The most enjoyable part of chemistry is experimentation Unifying principles are developed with the laboratory work providing the basis for the development To see these principles grow out of observations you have made in the laboratory gives you a valid picture of how all scientific advances begin It permits you to engage in scientific activity and to start becoming a scientist yourself

Most of the students will not become scientists But all of you live in a world greatly influenced by science You will read the newspapers about many scientific advances and sometimes you will be asked to vote on important technical subjects You will be asked to consider the effect of aerosol sprays on the earthrsquos atmosphere cancer-producing chemicals in water supplies the bad effects of industrial wastes and the advantages and possible dangers of nuclear power production All these are important problems that require two major efforts First scientists must collect enough good information so that the real danger and possible solutions are known Second a political decision has to be made about what society wants Every citizen should be involved in the second effort For this reason it is important to understand how scientists go about solving problems To understand the world a scientist 1 Makes experiments and gathers information through observation 2 Organizes this information and looks for regularities 3 Wonders why the regularities exist 4 Communicates the findings to others

These are the basic activities of science Observation is the starting point Observation is most useful when the conditions which affect the observation are controlled carefully A condition is controlled when it is fixed known and can be varied deliberately All science is built upon the

84

results of experiments performed under controlled conditions Regularities provide an efficient way to summarize the results of many experiments and also allow us to predict the results of experiments that we have not carried out before The fourth activity of science is the most important one of all It is only through communicating ideas to others that a strong framework can be provided for science Experimental results must be confirmed and explanations must be tested by others If it were not for this aspect of science each generation of scientists would have to start from the beginning

Read the following information and render it into English

ВЫБИРАЕМ ТЕРМОМЕТР

Измерить температуру у ребенка ndash задача не из легких Не удивительно что современные модели термометров которые позволяют измерить температуру буквально за секунду пользуются таким спросом

И все же несмотря на все достижения науки и техники старые ртутные (mercury) термометры остаются самыми точными (accurate) и самыми дешевыми И к великому сожалению самыми опасными (dangerous) особенно когда речь идет о детях Разбить хрупкий (fragile) стеклянный корпус (coating) ничего не стоит но избавиться (dispose)

88

потом от ртутных шариков мгновенно зная что испарения (evaporation) этого металла смертоносны (fatal) - очень сложно Кроме того чтобы достоверно узнать температуру ртутный термометр нужно держать под мышкой (under the armpit) (или в анальном отверстии (anus)) не менее пяти минут а то и все десять

Цифровые (digital) термометры ndash другое дело Потребуется (it will take) всего лишь 3 минуты чтобы измерить (to take) температуру а для некоторых людей даже полторы Наряду с этим замечательным преимуществом (advantage) они обладают массой дополнительных возможностей (additional functions) запоминают предыдущие (previous) значения температуры (readings) звуком сообщают о готовности к работе и о том что градусники пора вынимать (get out of) автоматически выключаются (switch off) и зачастую снабжены подсветкой (illumination) чтобы использовать прибор ночью не доставляя неудобств (disturb) другим членам семьи

Для самых маленьких пациентов изобрели термометр-соску (soother) К сожалению показания такого термометра могут быть не очень точными (accurate) особенно если малыш плачет или дышит (breathe) ртом

Еще одно полезное изобретение ndash цифровой индикатор Но индикатор ndash он и есть индикатор то есть дает приблизительные (approximate) данные (data) о температуреСамые удобные модели ndash ушные (aural) инфракрасные термометры Одно плохо ndash эта почти фантастическая новинка отличается и фантастически высокой ценой (high price)Part VI Speaking

Text 1

Chemical elements and compounds

An element is a pure substance containing only one kind of atom When two distinct elements are chemically combined the result is termed a compound

The term element was first used by the Greek philosopher Plato in about 360 BC Plato believed that the elements introduced a century earlier

106

by Empedocles were composed of small polyhedral forms tetrahedron (fire) octahedron (air) icosahedrons (water) and cube (earth)There are 118 elements known today Some elements occur pure in nature and have been known for thousands of years Elements like iron silver gold mercury lead tin and sulphur were known to the ancients They were given Latin names by the early chemists For example iron was called ferrum silver was called argentum and gold was called aurum

The first modern list of chemical elements was given in Antoine Lavoisierrsquos 1789 Elements of chemistry which contained thirty-three elements including light and caloric During the 19 th century there was an increase in the number of elements discovered as chemists began to adopt quantitative methods Dmitri Mendeleev had sixty-six elements in his periodic table of 1869 By the end of the 19th century 81 elements had been known Almost twice as many elements were discovered in the 20th century as were discovered up to that time Credit for proof of elemental character goes to scientists in England France Sweden Germany Portugal and the United States Three of those scientists were Marie Skladovska Curie (radium polonium) Maquerite Perey (francium) and Ida Tacke (rhenium)

Each element has a name and has been given a shortened symbol of one or two letters The element carbon is symbolized by the letter C the element neon by letter Ne Ten of the elements have symbols derived from the capitalized first letter of the Latin name of the element and if necessary by a second letter Other elements have symbols that can be derived from their English names

But now letrsquos consider a substance like water Water can be identified by its properties colour taste melting and boiling temperatures and ability to dissolve sugar and salt A demonstration of electrolysis can easily show that water can be changed into other substances hydrogen gas and oxygen gas Since water can be decomposed into two other substances water must contain at least two kinds of atoms Water is a compound

Sugar is another substance that you know One property of sugar is its sweetness Another property is that it dissolves in water Still another is the way it behaves when heated Under definite temperature sugar not only begins to melt to a liquid but it also begins to decompose Sugar can be decomposed to form water and charcoal in definite amounts Sugar is a compound

Actually there is a set of characteristics called properties that characterize each substance Chemists sometimes speak about chemical changes and physical changes Physical changes do not mean a change in the composition of a substance For example breaking freezing melting boiling and deforming a substance such as lead are considered physical changes A chemical change or chemical reaction however changes the composition and characteristic or special properties of a substance

107

Note almost twice as many elements ndash почти в два раза больше элементов

Exercise 1 Translate the following word combinationsTo dissolve sugar and salt to adopt quantitative methods a set of characteristics under definite temperature to dissolve in water to produce in definite amounts to identify the substance by its properties to derive the name from melting and boiling temperatures to consider a substance elements occurring in nature

Exercise 2 Insert instead of gaps the proper words from the text1 The term ldquoelementrdquo was first introduced by hellip 2 By the end of the 19 th

century elements had been known 3 There are hellip elements known today 4 Elements like hellip hellip hellip hellip hellip and hellip were known to the ancient people 5 Iron was called hellip silver was called hellip and gold was called hellip in ancient times 6 The first modern list of chemical elements was given by hellip 7 Radium and polonium were discovered by Polish scientist hellip in 1898 8 Francium was discovered by hellip in 1939 9 Ida Tacke a German scientist discovered hellip in 1925

Exercise 3 Define the following notions1 An element 2 A compound 3 A periodic table 4 A physical change 5 A chemical reaction 6 Sugar 7 WaterExercise 4 Answer the following questions1 Who was the first to use the term ldquoelementrdquo 2 What is an element according to the current definition 3 What is a compound 4 What names did ancients give to such elements as iron silver and gold 5 What languages are chemical names of elements based on 6 Why was there an increase in the number of elements discovered in the 19th century 7 The scientists of what countries contributed to the discovery of elements Give their names 8 What is the most convenient and the most traditional presentation of elements 9 How can water be identified 10 In what way can one prove that water is a compound 11 What are the main properties of sugar 12 What is the product of decomposition of sugar under definite temperature 13 Are heating freezing melting boiling and deforming chemical or physical changes 14 What is a chemical change

108

Exercise 5 Make up the outline to the text and speak about chemical elements and compounds according to it

Exercise 6 Read the following passages and translate them with the help of a dictionary

PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS

As chemists discovered new elements they also discovered that certain elements behave in a similar manner Beginning in the mid-1800rsquos several chemists suggested ways to organize the known elements into a periodic table so that those with similar properties would be grouped together Chief among these researchers were Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev a Russian chemist and the German chemist Julius Lotcher Meyer DI Mendeleev developed a form of a periodic law a basic principal in chemistry His law states that the properties of chemical elements reoccur in regular pattern when the elements are arranged according to their atomic weight Mendeleevrsquos work together with that of Meyerrsquos led to the periodic table a systematic arrangement of the elements

In 1869 Mendeleev proposed his arrangements of the elements in order of increasing atomic weight and according to similarity in properties Mendeleevrsquos table has blank spaces for unknown elements Later using the periodic law he predicted the properties of these unknown elements His predictions were confirmed by the discovery between 1875 and 1886 of three elements with these properties Mendeleev also discovered the phenomenon of critical temperature the temperature at which a gas or vapour may be liquefied by pressure

Turning the Table on Refrigerants

The Freon compounds that are used to absorb heat in refrigerators and air conditioners were discovered in 1937 by Thomas Midgley an American chemist The following is his description of how the periodic table was usedldquoWhat was wanted was obvious ndash a nontoxic nonflammable refrigerant The desired combination of properties was a boiling point between Odeg and - 40degC stability nontoxicity and nonflammability I decided to bring into play the Periodic Table Perhaps volatility could be related to it some way It takes but a fraction of a second to see this is true The elements on the right-hand side of the Periodic table are the only ones which make compounds sufficiently volatile for the purpose in hand In fact only a certain number of these elements need to be considered Volatile compounds of boron silicon phosphorus arsenic antimony bismuth selenium tellurium and iodine are all too unstable and toxic to consider Now look at the remaining elements ndash

109

carbon nitrogen oxygen fluorine sulphur chlorine and bromine Every refrigerant used has been made from combinations of these elements Flammability decreases from left to right Toxicity usually decreases from the heavy elements at the bottom to lighter elements at the top These two trends focus on fluorine It was an exciting deduction Seemingly no one previously had considered it possible that fluorine might be nontoxic in some of its compoundsrdquo

Numerous Freons are now made to provide useful kinds of refrigerators air conditioners and freezers for preparing or storing foods

Chemical elements of living matter

1 Living matter contains about one-third of the elements of the Mendeleyev Periodic Table Only hydrogen carbon nitrogen and iodine are found in higher concentrations in the human body than in the earth Six other elements are found in roughly the same proportions oxygen phosphorus sulphur chlorine potassium and calcium 2 Besides hydrogen oxygen is the element present in the human body in the greatest amount It constitutes about 65 of the total (by weight) amountMost amount of oxygen is combined with hydrogen as water ndash the most abundant compound of the human body constituting 45 to 75 by weight Water itself is essential to keep the body hydrated but it also plays an absolutely vital role in respiration The exact amount depends principally on age sex and build relatively infants have more than adults men more than women There may also be considerable differences between healthy and ill people and the water content of the body may be affected by drugs3 Carbon is the second most abundant element found inside the human body Carbon is excreted from the body in the form of carbon dioxide which is a waste product of respiration Carbon is also the main component of glucose and other sugars The unique nature of living matter is due to its organic constituents ie compounds based on a carbon chain 4 There are some important organic chemicals usually ions that are essential to health For example calcium and phosphorus for the teeth and bones and iron is essential in the hemoglobin of the blood transporting the oxygen throughout the bodySodium potassium and chlorine ions deserve special emphasis because they regulate the electrolyte equilibrium in the blood and body tissues and help maintain proper fluid balance inside and outside the cells This balance is

110

controlled primarily by the Na+K+ ion ratio which ideally is 06 Potassium is the major cation within cells the 19 to 56 gday requirements must be replenished since the ion is excreted in the urine Na+K+ deficiency is fairly common in people using a diuretic to control body fluids The Na+ (1-2gday) and Cl- (17-51 gday) requirements are usually easy to meet since most foods contain NaCl in fact the average Na+ intake in the United States is about 10 gday between five and ten times the amount needed Excess sodium intake may contribute to hypertension or high blood pressure5 Phosphorus is another very important mineral One of its functions involves energy production Other important ions occurring in living matter besides those formed from organic acids and bases are bicarbonate ammonium phosphate and sulphate The bony skeleton and the teeth contain lithium fluoride as well Additional important compounds include carbon dioxide and oxygen

TOXIC SUBSTANCES IN MANrsquoS ENVIRONMENT

1 Read the title of the text and say what it is about2 Name some toxic substances known to you3 Say whether

a) you have ever been in contact with any toxic substance (s)b) you know how to act in case of poisoning

4 Read the text and formulate its main idea

112

The human body is a complex system of chemical compounds When an excessive amount of a single element or compound occurs in the body toxic reactions can be expected

Sometimes chemicals present in small amounts affect the biochemical functions of the body Lethal doses are usually expressed in milligrams (mg of substance per kilogram (kg) weight of the subject) For example cyanide ion (CN-) is generally fatal to human in doses of 1 mg of CN - per kg of body weight For a 200-pound person 000032 ounce of cyanide is a lethal dose Examples of somewhat less toxic substances and the probable lethal doses for an average person are morphine 1-50 mg per kg aspirin 50-500 mg per kg methyl alcohol 05-5 g per kg ethyl alcohol 5-15 g per kg

Substances we take in through food and water or through the air we breathe may influence our health While some substances are harmful others can be beneficial eg fluoride preventing caries water disinfectants killing germs etc

Lets consider such toxic substances as arsenic fluorides and mercury

ARSENIC 1 Where is arsenic formed

Arsenic is found in the natural environment About one third of the arsenic in the atmosphere comes from natural sources and the rest comes from man-made sources

The amounts of arsenic found in living animals plants and microbes vary 2 What are the ways of arsenic exposure

Humans are exposed mainly through food water and cigarette smoking Food is usually the largest source Arsenic is one of many hundreds of chemicals present in cigarette smoke The quantities of arsenic breathed in by non-smokers are very small except in industrially polluted areas Smokers inhale more because arsenic is one of many hundreds of chemicals present in cigarette smoke

Many arsenic compounds are quickly transformed and eliminated from the body via the urine 3 What are the effects of arsenic exposure

Many parts of the body may be affected by arsenic including the skin gut (кишка) lungs heart blood vessels immune system urinary system reproductive organs and the nervous system

Long-term exposure to high levels of arsenic in drinking water can cause thickening and pigment spots in the skin and cancer of the skin lungs bladder or kidney

FLUORIDES

113

1 What are fluorides Fluorides are organic and inorganic compounds containing the

fluorine element Generally colourless the different fluoride compounds are more or

less soluble in water and can take the form of a solid liquid or gasThese are important industrial chemicals with a number of uses but the largest fluorides uses are for aluminum production drinking water fluoridation and the manufacture of fluoridated dental preparations 2 How are humans exposed to fluorides

Food and drinking water typically contain at least small amounts of fluorides

In drinking water fluoride can either be naturally present or artificially added for the prevention of dental caries

All foodstuffs contain at least small amounts of fluoride Humans retain 60 to 90 of the fluoride taken in and accumulate almost all of it in their bones and teeth 3 What effects have actually been seen in humans

Fluoride can help prevent cavities but as the amount taken in increases it can also harm teeth (dental fluorosis) and bones (skeletal fluorosis) MERCURY1 What is mercury

Mercury is a chemical element with symbol Hg It is a silver-coloured metal and unlike any other metal it is a liquid at room temperature It flows so easily and rapidly that it is sometimes called quicksilver

Mercury compounds have uses in agriculture and industry Mercury however is extremely poisonous and can cause illness or death After many people realized its dangers industries and government agencies began trying to reduce the amount of mercury reaching the environment

2 What are the main uses of mercuryMercury has many properties (qualities) that make it useful For

example mercury expands and contracts evenly when heated or cooled It also remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures These properties have prompted its use in thermometers

3 What compounds does mercury form Can they be useful for people

Chemists divide mercury compounds into two groups (1) mercurous and (2) mercuric Mercurous compounds include mercurous chloride (Hg2Cl2) also called calomel and mercurous sulphate (Hg2SO2) Calomel is an antiseptic used to kill bacteria Scientists use mercurous sulphate to speed up certain tests on organic compounds

Mercuric compounds include mercuric chloride (HgCl2) a powerful poison that surgeons once used to disinfect wounds Several organic

114

mercuric compounds have important medical uses For example diuretics which doctors use to treat kidney disease contain these compounds The antiseptic Mercurochrome is also a mercuric compound

4 What effect may mercury have on plants animals and the environment

Mercury in the environment is harmful chiefly because its poisonous compounds have been found in plants and animals that people use for food Scientists have discovered poisonous mercury compounds in such foods as eggs fish grain and meat Mercury acts as a cumulative poison ndash that is the body has difficulty eliminating it Thus it may collect over a long time eventually reaching dangerous levels

Among the most dangerous mercury compounds are those containing methyl mercury They can damage brain cells

ounce ndash унция (= 28 г) cavity ndash полость впадина

Exercise 1 Read the following sentences and ask your groupmates the questions to which the given sentence will be the answers1 Some substances are harmful for the organism (What hellip)2 Fluoride can be beneficial in preventing caries (What substance hellip)3 About ⅓ of the arsenic in the atmosphere comes from natural sources

(How much hellip)4 Arsenic is one of the many hundreds of chemicals present in cigarette

smoke (Where hellip)5 Many arsenic compounds are eliminated from the body via the urine

(How hellip)6 The skin the heart the lungs the blood vessels the immune system the

urinary system and some others may be affected by arsenic (What hellip)7 Fluorides are added to dental products to prevent cavities (To what hellip)8 Human retains 60 to 90 of the fluoride taken in (What is the

percentage hellip)9 If taken in excess amount fluoride can harm teeth and bones (In what

case hellip)10 Mercury flows so easily and rapidly that it is sometimes called

quicksilver (Why hellip)11 Mercury remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures (Does hellip or

hellip)12 Mercuric chloride a powerful poison was used to disinfect wounds (For

what purpose hellip)13 A mercuric compound Mercuchrome is used as antiseptic (What hellip)14 Mercury acts as a cumulative poison (Does hellip)

ТАБЛИЦА МЕНДЕЛЕЕВА В ОРГАНИЗМЕ

О том что в организмах содержатся металлы было известно давно Однако их исключительное значение для живой природы открылось на стыке наук физики биологии химии и медицины

В организме человека как и в водах Мирового океана находятся все элементы таблицы Менделеева Даже такой редкий и радиоактивный металл как уран хотя количество его ничтожно мало ndash всего 000009 грамма

Распределяются (distribute) элементы в нашем организме неравномерно (unevenly) Каждому органу в зависимости от выполняемой функции свойственны определенные химические

118

элементы в необходимых концентрациях Наибольшее их количество накапливается в печени (liver) В плазме крови (blood plasma) и в волосах химические элементы содержатся в незначительных количествах

Все химические элементы нашего организма подразделяются на две неравные группы Первая группа ndash макроэлементы В неё входят 10 незаменимых элементов калий натрий кальций железо медь магний молибден кобальт цинк и марганец Вторую группу ndash микроэлементов ndash составляют все оставшиеся элементы В здоровом организме и макро- и микроэлементы сбалансированы

Нарушение баланса микроэлементов влечет за собой изменение функции (disfunction) в дальнейшем и морфологической структуры клетки органа организма вызывая различные заболевания в том числе и онкологические

В крови больных ишемией (ischemia) и инфарктом (infarct) например обнаружены повышенные концентрации марганца и никеля но ndash дефицит магния кальция меди железа и бария Для нормального сердечного ритма (heart rate) необходимо достаточное поступление в организм именно кальция и магния что обеспечивает правильный электролитический обмен

Недостаток цинка селена и хрома указывает на пониженный иммунитет Дефицит магния и избыток (excess) натрия влияют на уровень артериального давления (arterial pressure)

ЙОДДефицит его в организме вызывает гипотиреоз (hypothyrosis) так

как йод принимает участие в выработке тиреоидина (thyroidin) Недостаток тиреоидина ведет к нарушению интеллектуального и физического здоровья Дефицит йода вызывает необратимые нарушения у новорожденных умственную отсталость (mental retardation) кретинизм (cretinism) олигофрению (oligophrenia)

Исследования последних лет в разных странах мира показали что в регионах с выраженным йодным дефицитом средние показатели умственного развития снижаются на 15-20 По мнению ВОЗ недостаток йода является самой распространенной (widespread) формой умственной отсталости которую можно предупредить (prevent)

Дефицит йода в Беларуси пытаются предупредить добавлением к пищевой соли йодистого калия 25 граммов на (per) тонну соли Срок хранения такой соли не более 4-х месяцев так как йод улетучивается (evaporate)

Какая-то часть дефицита йода восполняется за счет овощей и фруктов Значительное количество йода содержится в чесноке (garlic) свекле Много ndash в субтропических плодах фейхоа Но особенно богаты им все морепродукты

119

Выделяется (eliminate) йод из организма преимущественно через почки (kidneys) ndash до 80 а также через молочные (mammary) слюнные (salivary) и потовые железы (sweat glands) частично с желчью (bile)

MEDICINAL HERBSI

The principal parts of a plant are 1) the root system 2) the stems and leaves 3) the reproductive part made up of flowers fruits or seeds The roots grow downward into the soil and have two main functions ndash to absorb plant nutrients and water from the soil and to anchor the plant As to stems and leaves they are usually above the ground The food used in growth by green plants is manufactured in the leaves from the raw materials taken from the soil and air This process is known as photosynthesis To support the leaves and to connect them with the roots are the main functions of the stem A flower is the part of the plant where seeds are produced Thus to produce seeds the plant must have flowersHerbal medicine also called botanical medicine or phytomedicine refers to using plants seeds fruits roots leaves bark or flowers for medicinal purposes Plants that give drugs have both active substances the so-called primary plant products and inactive substances the so-called secondary products The constituents and active principles vary in quantity at different seasons of the year and the majority of plant materials are usually best collected during the dry season when the herbs are at peak maturity and concentration Roots and rhizomes Best collected from October to February when the plants are more vigorously storing food in their underground organsLeaves The most opportune time is when the plant is about to bloom

135

Flowers Best collected in the time of pollination Buds are preferred collected in the morning after the morning dew has evaporated flowers just before or shortly after opening Dry the herbal materials as quickly as possibleBark materials and stems Generally best gathered in summer time as the bark of any plant usually contains richer nutritive substances including the medicinal metabolites Fruits and seeds Fully ripened fruits and mature seeds are preferred Turn the fleshy fruit frequently for even dryingWhole plant When the whole plant is desired it is advisable to harvest the plant at the time when the flowers are all in bloom

IIThe moisture content of the dried plant materials should be less than 10 before storageThe dried plant materials should be placed in plastic containers or tightly covered bottles The storage place should be dry well-ventilated and spacious Drug materials can be kept on large open wooden shelves The odour of a drug of plant origin may be distinct or indistinct depending upon the amount of volatile constituents the drug possesses It is described as aromatic balsamic spicy camphorous etc When it is difficult to compare the odour with other substances it is described as characteristicAccording to taste substances may be classified into four groups1 Those possessing a true taste such as acid sweet alkaline bitter2 Those possessing no taste and thus are tasteless3 Those possessing a characteristic odour which gives name to the so-

called ldquotasterdquo They may be grouped broadly into those which are agreeable or pleasant (aromatic balsamic spicy) and disagreeable or unpleasant (alliaceous camphorous etc)

4 Those giving certain sensation to the tongue (mucilaginous oily astringent pungent acrid nauseous)

NATURErsquoS MEDICINES

1 Without plants there would be no life on Earth In ancient times plants played a vital role in healing and many are still used by the modern pharmaceutical industry2 The Assyrians and Egyptians the early civilized people started cultivating plants By the seventh century they had produced a systematically arranged list of medicinal plants In China medical authorities recognize the medical properties of more than 5800 plants They classified the medicinal effects of the plants on the various parts of the body and then tested them to determine their toxicity what dosages would be lethal etc For example cassia bark is warming in nature and is useful in treating colds Mint is cooling in nature and is used to relieve the symptoms of illness resulting from heat factors 3 One of the most widely used plants that was known to man 5000 years ago is garlic It is well known that garlic is therapeutically useful for the following purposes it is a powerful agent in preventing diphtheria typhus tuberculosis pneumonia it is useful in all respiratory infections especially in symptoms of a dry hacking cough in colds asthma and bronchitis and in many other cases It is also an excellent nerve tonic4 Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a popular alternative to commonly prescribed medications for sleep problems Unlike many prescription sleeping pills valerian may have fewer side effects such as morning drowsiness5 Clinical studies found that Echinacea supplements decreased the chance of getting a cold by 58 It also shortened the duration of a cold by 14 days 6 Used correctly herbs can help treat a variety of conditions and in some cases may have fewer side effects than some conventional medications But some herbs may cause allergic reactions and some are toxic if used improperly or at high doses Taking herbs on your own increases your risk so it is important to consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking herbal medicines

138

POISONOUS PLANTS

Poisonous plants when used in small or moderate amounts cause a harmful reaction resulting in illness or death Many ornamental plants such as oleander lilly-of-the-valley and mistletoe1 are poisonous Some plants contain both edible and poisonous parts potatoes and tomatoes are common plant foods but their green parts are poisonous

The poisonous compound may be distributed2 throughout all parts of the plant or it may accumulate in one part more than in any other such as the root or berry Every plant may vary in the amount of toxins it contains due to different growing conditions and slight variations in subspecies Certain plants however can be highly toxic when young and harmless later

Usually more than 60g of the poisonous part of the plant must be eaten by an average adult before poisonous results Some plants however are toxic in small amounts for instance one or two castor beans the seeds of castor-oil plant may kill a child

Poisonous plants cause painful skin irritations3 upon contact they cause internal poisoning when eaten and they poison through skin absorption or inhalation into the respiratory tract After ingestion4 the poison may act immediately on the digestive tract Symptoms of ingestion poisoning can include nausea vomiting diarrhea depressed heartbeat hallucinations dry mouth coma and death Some plants affect the heart (oleander) Plants containing alkaloids often produce unpleasant or dangerous reactions in the nervous system Examples are paralysis hallucinations or heart block A few poisons act directly within the cells of the body Cyanide for example prevents cells of the body from using oxygen

First aid in case of poisoningThe symptoms of poisoning depend on both the amount of poison

ingested and the individualrsquos reaction to the poison as every person has a different level of resistance to toxic substances

in the body If the victim is unconscious Place the victim in the recumbent

position14 Do not leave the victim alone Do not give the victim food or drink or induce vomiting

If the victim stops breathing give artificial resuscitation15 If poisoning is suspected a doctor should be consulted immediately

Exercise 4 Enumerate the main measures to be taken to help the victim who has eaten a poisonous plant or mushroom

Exercise 5 Read the texts and translate them using a dictionary

142

Belladonna

Belladonna is probably named in honour of Italians who made eye drops of the fresh juice to dilate their pupils and make them appear more alluring According to a medieval superstition witches used belladonna in their ceremonies to promote hallucinations and it was combined with aconite to produce the sensation of flying Gerard described the herb as ldquoa plant so furious and deadlyrdquo Belladonna has powerful sedative and narcotic properties mainly due to the presence of two poisonous crystalline alkaloids One of them atropine affects the autonomous nervous system Today ophthalmologists still use atropine to dilate the pupils and it also antidotes the nerve gas discharges from chemical weapons The other alkaloid is used as a sedative Belladonna extracts are used medicinally to treat ailments characterized by spasms including Parkinsonrsquos disease epilepsy asthma and whooping cough Atropine also controls mucous secretions and may be found in medications for colds and fever Homeopathically belladonna is prescribed for scarlet fever inflammations throbbing headaches and sore throats

All parts of plants are highly poisonous They should be taken only under medical supervision All parts of the fresh plants give off an unpleasant smell when bruised and are extremely poisonous Black berries contain a sweet inky juice that is deadly poison

CAMPHOR

Camphor chemical formula C10H12O is a substance that comes from the camphor tree The trees grow tall and have white flowers and green leaves Most grow in China and on the island of Taiwan

Camphor is produced by steaming wood chips from the camphor tree During this process camphor collects in an oily layer on the chips The oily substance is drained and pressed to remove the oil and water Camphor is then left in the form of whitish almost transparent crystals The crystals are usually purified by sublimation a process by which the camphor changes directly from a solid to a vapour leaving behind impurities Chemists now produce synthetic camphor in laboratories

Camphor is used in cosmetics lacquers and pharmaceuticals Spirits of camphor ndash mixture of 10 parts camphor 70 parts alcohol and 20 parts water ndash is a mild antiseptic Camphor is also combined with another compound to make camphorated parachlorophenol a germ-killing drug sometimes used in dental work Chemists use camphor to denature ethyl alcohol the type of

143

alcohol used in alcoholic beverages Denatured alcohol is ethyl alcohol that is unfit for drinking but has other uses Large doses of camphor are poisonous and will cause delirium and convulsions

IN THE PHARMACY

Pharmacy is a place where medicines are prepared and sold Most pharmacies sometimes called chemistsrsquo or drugstores also sell many other products Every pharmacy has a hall for visitors a department for selling drugs which is called the chemist department and proper working rooms Large pharmacies have also a prescription department where prescriptions are filled Today pharmaceutical manufacturers supply most drugs But pharmacists must still compound some medicines and be able to prepare antiseptic solutions ointments and other common remedies

At the chemist department one can buy ready-to-use remedies in various forms such as tablets (sleeping tablets sedative tablets) pills drops (cough drops nasal drops) tinctures (tincture of iodine) mixtures herbs for infusion (peppermint chamomile) ointments (boric ointment zinc ointment) powders (talcum powder) lotions (eye lotion) Such remedies as valerian medical charcoal bicarbonate of soda vaseline and hydrogen peroxide are also available at the chemist department One can get there dressing material including gauze cotton wool elastic bandages adhesive tape plasters etc

Exercise 7 Read the following text and do the tasks which follow it

STORAGE OF DRUGS

1 There are strict legal requirements for the purchase (покупка) storage use identification dispensing and prescription of drugs

2 Many drugs are poisonous if taken accidentally or in excess (в избытке) others are caustic and may cause painful burns Some common sense precautions (из соображений здравого смысла) in storing drugs are to keep them well away from strong light heat pungent odors food and drinks to keep poisons up in a special poisons cabinet and to keep caustics on the lowest shelf where accidental spillage (случайно пролившаяся жидкость) cannot affect the eyes or burn the face

3 The condition of the drugs stored for long period depends generally on the conditions of storage over this period and in certain cases depends on the drugs themselves

4 Certain drugs will keep perfectly if they are stored in well closed containers in the dark and in a dry atmosphere at a moderate (умеренная) temperature On the other hand a drug such as digitalis even if it is stored under the most ideal conditions will have lost all its potency by the end of one year while other drugs will be all right even if they are stored under the most varied conditions for long periods (for ex the ampoules of strychnine or the capsules containing drug powders)

5 Some medical products need to be stored at a lower than ambient (окружающая) temperature to assure (обеспечивать) their quality and

163

efficacy These are often referred to as ldquocold chain productsrdquo or fridge linesrdquo They are to be stored and distributed in strict accordance with (в строгом соответствии) the product labeling requirements Some cold chain items such as vaccine insulin biotech products and products derived from (полученные) blood or plasma can be classified as high risk ones because they are at risk from freezing as well as elevated temperatures Other products for example chloramphenicol eye drops may be labeled as requiring storage between 2deg and 8degC but a short deviation from (отклонение) this temperature range presents less of danger to users

6 Stocks of drugs must be stored in accordance with manufacturerrsquos instructions and not kept beyond their expiry date (срок годности) Records of their purchase supply and expiry date must be kept for at least 11 years Any drugs which have passed their expiry date should be discarded (выбрасывать) together with any solutions which have become discolored or cloudy

Task 1 Pay attention to how the narration is structured and complete the gaps with the words and phrases from the box

a) stocks of drugsb) strict legal requirementsc) the expiry date d) cold chain products

e) poisons and causticsf) the condition g) storing h) examples

Paragraph 1 introduces the fact that there are __________ for buying storage use identification dispensing and prescription of medicines

Paragraph 2 describes some common sense precautions in storing ordinary medicines as well as __________

Paragraph 3 brings in factors on which __________ of storing drugs for a long period depends on

Paragraph 4 continues enumerating conditions for __________ most drugs and gives some __________

Paragraph 5 points out the main regulations for storing __________ which are to be stored strictly in accordance with their labeling requirements

Paragraph 6 provides information about proper storage of __________ in accordance with manufacturerrsquos instructions and utilization of drugs after passing __________

164

Task 2 Formulate the main rules for storing different kinds of drugs using the Imperative Mood

Exercise 8 Translate with the help of a dictionary

How is herbal medicine sold in stores

The herbs available in most stores come in several different forms teas syrups oils liquid extracts tinctures and dry extracts (pills or capsules) Teas can be made from dried herbs left to soak for a few minutes in hot water or by boiling herbs in water and then straining the liquid Syrups made from concentrated extracts and added to sweet-tasting preparations are often used for sore throats and coughs Oils are extracted from plants and often used as rubs for massage either by themselves or as part of an ointment or cream Tinctures and liquid extracts are made of active herbal ingredients dissolved in a liquid (usually water alcohol or glycerol) Tinctures are typically a 15 or 110 concentration meaning that one part of the herb is prepared with five to ten parts (by weight) of the liquid Liquid extracts are more concentrated than tinctures and are typically a 11 concentration A dry extract form is the most concentrated form of an herbal product (typically 21 - 81) and is sold as a tablet capsule or lozengeCurrently no organization or agency regulates the manufacture or certifies the labeling of herbal preparations This means you cant be sure that the amount of the herb contained in the bottle or even from dose to dose is the same as what is stated on the label Some herbal preparations are standardized meaning that the preparation is guaranteed to contain a specific amount of the active ingredients of the herb However it is still important to ask companies making standardized herbal products about their products guarantee It is important to talk to your doctor or an expert in herbal medicine about the recommended doses of any herbal products

Prescriptions are handwritten on preprinted prescription form Each prescription is datedA complete prescription is made up of five essential parts 1) the superscription 2) the inscription 3) the subscription 4) the signature and 5) the prescriberrsquos name The superscription section contains the date and patientrsquos information (name address age etc) The inscription is the body of the prescription This contains the ingredients and quantities of each The traditional symbol Rx separates the subscription from the inscription section The symbol originated in medieval manuscripts as an abbreviation of the Latin verb ldquoreciperdquo meaning ldquoto takerdquo Itrsquos the instruction to the pharmacist ndash ldquotake the following components and compound this medication for the patientrdquo The subscription always follows the inscription and contains the writerrsquos instruction to the pharmacist This designates the form of preparation (mixture tablets ointments etc) the strength (in words and figures) and the quantity of the total number (in words and figures) The signature consists of the directions to the patient This information is placed on the label of the container in which the medication is dispensed The prescriberrsquos name is the part of the prescription that guarantees its authenticity Some prescriptions will specify whether and how many ldquorepeatsrdquo or ldquorefillsrdquo are allowed that is whether the patient may obtain more of the same medication

The language of the prescription was unique in Great Britain some half a century ago when all the names of drugs were latinized It was possible because the physician used only dosed drugs Today all prescriptions are written in English The only Latin which is used is a few traditional abbreviations in the instruction to the pharmacist and on the label

A more serious problem is the naming of drugs In the old days drugs had only one official name At present each drug has at least three names They are the chemical name the so-called generic name and trade name The chemical name is difficult to use and remember except for the simplest drugs because of its length and complexity The trade or brand name is the

166

private property of the drug company and is copy right Many brand name drugs have less expensive generic drug substitutes that are therapeutically and biochemically equivalent Prescriptions will also contain instructions whether the prescriber will allow the pharmacist to substitute the generic version of the drug

It goes without saying that a prescription cannot be written without a very good knowledge of the dose effects of drugs Each drug has its own dose specification dependent on the pharmacological properties and metabolism of the drug

Read and translate with the help of a dictionary

Creating thermometer scalesHow do scientists such as Gabriel Fahrenheit and Anders Celsius create new concepts such as temperature scales Many times new discoveries stem from (происходить) a scientistrsquos personal interests or observationsA cowrsquos normal body temperature is the same as a humanrsquos ndash about 986deg F Yet some evidence indicates that Fahrenheit based his primary reference point for 100deg F on the body temperature of a cow If this story is true the Fahrenheit scale was based on a sick cow Some have claimed (утверждать) that Fahrenheit chose his value of 100deg F so that the normal human body temperature would be 986deg F but this cannot be the case While most people were aware (знать) that there was a normal human body temperature its value was not determined until after the development of the thermometer scales Instead it seems that Fahrenheit based his scale on a measurement of interest to him Anders Celsius was a Swedish astronomer who had an interest in determining exactly how cold the Swedish nights were as he walked to his observatory Celsius wanted to know how warmly to dress and whether the metal telescope parts would be too cold to use in gazing at the vastness of the heavens (вглядываясь в безбрежное небо) The Celsius scale grew out of these practical concernsAs you can see scientists often have the same kinds of problems nonscientists do Sometime scientists view (рассматривать) those problems

SECTION 4 Chemical elements

I Read the passage and concentrate on the following

1 Sources of lead poisoning2 Consequences of lead poisoning3 Prevention and treatment of lead poisoning

II Present the information read using the italicized word combinations and the following phrases To begin with The problem of is rather complicated urgentcontroversal Itrsquos a well-known fact that Some more facts about are I can give some more details about I was surprised by learning that (about) My point of view is that To sum up I can go over some points raised First Second On the whole In conclusion let me say

Get the lead out

Most heavy metals are poisonous to humans and animals Lead one of these heavy metals interferes (препятствовать) with hemoglobin production in the blood and produces anemia Lead contamination can also cause mental retardation (задержка умственного развития) learning disabilities and damage to the nervous systemThe symbol for lead Pb comes from the Latin word plumbum (lead) which also gives us the words plumbing (водопровод) and plumber In the Roman Empire lead pipes carried water in the cities and lead cooking utensils (кухонная посуда) were used by wealthy Romans As a result upper-class Romans may well have suffered from lead poisoning that possibly caused brain or central nervous system damage In fact 1994 studies of ice cores (внутренность) in Greenland revealed extreme lead pollution caused by smelting (плавление) during the period from 500 BC to 300 AD Lead poisoning may have contributed to the fall of the Roman EmpireHowever the Romans arenrsquot the only ones who have been exposed (подвергаться воздействию) to toxic levels of lead Lead pigments were once common in household and furniture paints (краска) ndash lead compounds produce so many different colours that an artist could compose an entire palette (палитра) using only lead compounds Unfortunately lead poisoning from paints in older houses causes problems because old paint peels

178

(шелушиться лупиться) so readily Small children eat the paint chips nearly 250000 become ill every year In some cases permanent brain damage occurs New paints make use of other types of pigmentsAnother source of lead pollution in modern homes still involves the water supply In many homes copper water pipes are joined with lead solder (тех припой) Small amounts of solder slowly dissolve each day For this reason if you have copper pipes it is wise to run your tap water a few minutes before drinking it especially if the tap has not being used for a day or more If you wash your face or hands before drinking the tap water you can avoid wasting the water as it runs Newer homes often make use of plastic water pipes made from poly vinyl chloride or PVC These pipes are joined with a small amount of volatile solvent (летучий растворитель) Like the ancient Romans we still sometimes use glasses and dishes that contain lead lead improves the appearance and luster of crystal glass (глянец хрусталя) However crystal glass is another potential source of lead poisoning especially when used to serve acidic beverages (напитки) such as wine and soft drinks Similarly many ceramic dishes are coated with lead-containing glazes (глазурь) (especially those imported from foreign markets where the health regulations are not as much as the forefront)Physicians treat lead poisoning with EDTA or ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid EDTA forms soluble compounds called chelates with the lead permitting the body to excrete it But far preferable (намного предпочтительнее) to using EDTA as an antidote is avoiding lead exposure (продолжительное воздействие на организм) as much as possible There is no doubt that it is wise to get the lead out of paints drinking water and other everyday solutions

Notes1 may well have suffered from ndash возможно пострадали 2 where the health regulations are not as much as the forefront ndash где не

Read and translate the following text with the help of a dictionary

The chemistry of our senses

Although it may not be obvious most of our senses involve chemistry at one point or anotherTaste and smell are almost entirely chemical In both senses the nature of the stimulus is determined via direct chemical interactions The quality of taste is confirmed using taste buds (вкусовые сосочки языка) sensory units in the

179

tongue and mouth Taste buds respond to four different kinds of taste sweet sour salty and bitter The perception of flavor consists of varying combinations of these four kinds of taste Most ionic compounds such as NaCl taste salty and stimulate the salt-specific taste buds The sour taste usually arises from acidic substances Sweet or bitter tastes are not as restricted the taste buds perceive many chemicals as sweet including sugar artificial sweeteners glycerin and lead salts These substances have no similarity in structure shape or chemical nature The bitter taste also arises from many different compounds Temperature texture and odour blend into what people call tasteHow the sense of smell operates is still a mystery Scientists know that odour impinge on cells that make up the olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavity and that molecular shape seems to play a major role in odour Some evidence suggests that odours are detected via infrared which might explain why the sense can detect quantities as small as one or two moleculesAlthough natural odours are usually due to complex mixtures of chemicals some are easily associated with a single chemical Some common odours and the chemicals mainly responsible are pine apple ndash ethyl butyrate banana ndash isoamyl acetate concord grape ndash methyl anthranilate apple ndash isoamyl isovalerate Delicious apple ndash ethyl-2-methylbutyrateFlavour and odour specialists use esters and other compounds to stimulate natural products or create new ones

SECTION 5 Plant study

Read the following text and say what the main functions of plant essential elements are

PLANT NUTRITION

More than 60 elements have been found in plant tissues These elements range from as common as carbon and hydrogen to those as exotic as platinum uranium and gold Are all these elements essential for growth

Carbon hydrogen oxygen phosphorus potassium nitrogen sulfur calcium and magnesium are required in relatively large amounts and are called macronutrients Iron chlorine copper manganese zinc boron and molybdenum are required in relatively small amounts and are called micronutrients

Functions of essential elements1 Plants require different amounts of different elements Most plants require

60 million times more hydrogen atoms than molybdenum atoms These

180

different requirements reflect different uses of these elements Hydrogen is in almost all compounds in plants while molybdenum occurs only in few

2 Different elements are absorbed in different forms Calcium and iron are absorbed as cations while phosphorus and sulfur are absorbed as anions

3 Most elements have several functions Potassium is involved in starch synthesis affects protein conformation and activates enzymes

Although the functions of essential elements are diverse they can be grouped into four general categoriesndash Essential elements can be part of structural units Carbon hydrogen and

oxygen make up carbohydrates such as cellulose Similarly nitrogen as an integral part of proteins

ndash Essential elements can be part of compounds involved in metabolism Magnesium is part of chlorophyll and phosphorus is part of ATP and nucleic acids

ndash Essential elements can activate or inhibit enzymesMagnesium stimulates several respiratory enzymes while calcium inhibits several enzymes In some cases these enzymes may be those responsible for synthesizing plant hormonesEssential elements can alter the osmotic potential of a cell

SECTION 6 In the pharmacy

Read the following passage without a dictionary and say what products can be bought in the Chineese pharmacy and what they are used for

Chinese pharmaceutical products

Visiting a Chinese pharmacy is much like being inside a miniature museum of natural sciences Tucked away (запрятанные) in row after row of tidy drawers are animal plant and mineral products each with a particular purpose Among the assortment of curiosities are cinnabar (киноварь) and amber (янтарь) to relax the nerves peach pits (косточки персика) and safflower (цветок шафрана) to improve blood circulation bears gall (желчь медведя) to relive pain and tranquilize Chinese ephedra to induce perspiration (потение) and ginseng to strengthen cardiac function

The filling of a prescription ordered by a Chinese doctor is a fascinating process to watch The pharmacist selects a few particular ingredients from the hundreds on the shelf These are taken home by the patient boiled into a ldquosouprdquo and drunk Confronted with such a steaming brew (напиток сваренный и настоянный) you might ask yourself just what the basis of this ancient medical art is

181

The Government of the Republic of China has put great effort into promoting the modernization of Chinese medicine In the area of pharmacology researchers have evaluated effectiveness analyzed tested and formulated concentrated dosages of Chinese pharmaceutical products for commercial scale The prescriptions for these drugs are easier to fill and are much more convenient for the patient than the old boiling method
