Russia to develop cancer treatment medicines in 2011-2012
MOSCOW, December 26 (Itar-Tass) - Russia will have its own substances
in 2011-2012 to create state-of-the-art medicines for cancer treatment,
the head of the federal medical and biological agency, Vladimir Uiba, told
reporters.
"We should design and produce such substances by this time," he said
adding that some substances for medicines had already been developed by
Russian researchers. For instance, rituximab that is used for treatment of
the so-called inert tumours had already been registered.
"At present, we import this medicine worth 3.5 billion roubles a
year," Uiba said. In the near future Russian patients will get treatment
with domestic medicines.
He noted that several more medicines were invented in Russia, but they
should not be named so far.
"They still have no patent protection," he said.
Moreover, Russian researchers completed the first phase of clinical
testing of anti-AIDS drug.
"Now we've begun the second phase," Uiba said adding that this
vaccine is in the top ten list of anti-AIDS drugs that are being developed
in the world and considered most promising.
The Research Institute of Physicochemical Medicine created a vaccine
against A, B hepatitis.
"Trial series were submitted for state registration," Uiba said.
At present, 70 percent of essential medicines are imported and only 30
percent are Russia-made.
"The task of the federal program is to change the situation and make
70 percent of medicines in the country," Uiba said.
Three people die after car falls into Moscow River.
MOSCOW, December 26 (Itar-Tass) - Three people died in a road accident
in Moscow late on Saturday, the capital's law enforcement agency told
Itar-Tass.
The car wrecked into a fence on Krutistkaya Embankment and fell into
the Moscow River.
According to preliminary information, a driver lost control of his car
on a slippery road.
On Saturday the number of road accidents increased after freezing
drizzle made Moscow's road slick.
.Moscow's gingerbread man put in Guinness world records.
MOSCOW, December 26 (Itar-Tass) - Moscow's bakers made the world's
largest gingerbread man weighing almost 860 kilograms to put it in the
Guinness World Records.
The editor-in-chief of Russian Guinness Book of Records, Alexei
Svistunov, measured the giant gingerbread man himself. The man's length
from right hand to left reached 7.53 meters and the weight totalled 859
kilograms.
"It took seven days and nights for several bakers to make this
gingerbread man. It consisted of gingerbread layers baked at 191 baking
sheets," the organizers of the world's record said.
The world's largest gingerbread man was made of 1,300 eggs, 200
kilograms of flour, 152 kilograms of sugar, 95 litres of milk, 19
kilograms of walnuts, 190 kilograms of sugar paste, almost 29 kilograms of
butter and over 7 kilograms of species.
Soon after the gingerbread man was fixed in the world records, it was
cut into small pieces to be tasted by all revellers under Christmas carols
sang by the Catholic church children's choir.
.Moscow's bailiffs make portrait of average debtor.
MOSCOW, December 26 (Itar-Tass) - The Moscow city department of the
Russian federal bailiff service made a portrait of the capital's average
debtor.
"This is a man aged 30-45 years, who earns 30,000-40,000 roubles
(1,000-1,300 U.S. dollars) a month and often changes jobs, as his debts
follow him as a shadow leaving him no chance to create good image at this
or that workplace," the press service of the Moscow city department said
adding that the portrait was made on the basis of bailiffs' daily meetings
with debtors.
"If to speak about debtors of alimony payments, these are men aged
between 30 and 55 years, who work from time to time (they work 2-3 months
and stay jobless another 4-5 months). Bailiffs force them to find a job.
Their wages do not exceed 15,000-20,000 per month," the source said.
Debtors of public utility and housing tariffs are usually unemployed
persons with anti-social behaviour.
The Moscow city department of the Russian federal bailiff service
noted that "unfortunately that are not so many honest debtors who pay
their debts o their own, without being forced."
Over the past eleven months of this year only 14.9 billion roubles or
1.5 percent of the 950 billion rouble debts that had to be collected by
Moscow's bailiffs were paid.
.Russia's sea rescue service to get 41 new vessels until 2014.
MOSCOW, December 26 (Itar-Tass) - Russia's state sea rescue service
will get 41 multipurpose rescue vessels until 2014, the head of
Rosmorrechflot, the federal agency for sea and river transport, Alexander
Davydenko, said at the meeting of the government's Sea Collegium earlier
this week.
He underlined that 73 vessels that the state sea rescue service has in
its fleet are outdated.
"The Transport Ministry and Rosmorrechflot are renovating the fleet,"
Davydenko said adding that in 2009 new rescue vessels were designed and
nine vessels had already been built this year.
"Over 17 billion roubles will be injected for this purpose. Until 2014
forty-one multipurpose rescue vessels, including unrestricted area
ice-class ships, are planned to be built," he said.
Special attention will be paid to rescue trainings in the Arctic and
the Northern Sea Route.
"We plan to reinforce the network of Russia's state sea rescue service
through creating additional rescue units in eastern sector of the Arctic
and sea port of Dickson, Tiksy, Pevek and Provideniya," Davydenko said.
