HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT

Among the first six departments of the medical institute opened in our republic in 1932 it was the department of Inorganic Chemistry (that was the name then of the department of General Chemistry). The first head of the department was I.F. Sushinsky. Due to the illness of Associate Professor I.F. Sushinsky in 1933, two departments - Biological Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry - were united; the united department was headed by Associate Professor E.M. Gubarev, invited from Saratov University. In 1935, the two departments were separated, and the department of Inorganic Chemistry was headed by assistant I.Z. Ilyasov. In those years, there were no chemists with an academic degree at the medical institute. M.A. Abdulmenov, Sh.Kh. Mescherova, S.G. Khamidova worked as assistants. A small team of the department provided the educational process in chemical disciplines to the first and second years students.

In the first years of the existence of the medical institute, training was theoretical. Only in 1937 an experimental laboratory was opened and students began to take practical courses. Employees of the department were involved in the development of scientific topics, preparation of dissertations for academic degrees. So, I.Z. Ilyasov prepared and submitted a dissertation for defense in 1941 on the topic: “Some indicators of metabolism in clinical scurvy”. Young employees of the department actively carried out their first scientific research. And then - war... From the first days of the war, a significant part of the staff and students were drafted into the army. I.Z. Ilyasov was among them.

E.S. Burkser was appointed as head of the department of Inorganic Chemistry, corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, professor, who arrived in Ufa along with the evacuated Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

Evgeniy Samoilovich Burkser

He held the position of head of Department of General Chemistry from 01.08.1941 to 15.08.1943, born 22.06.1887 in Odessa. Graduated from the Natural Sciences Department of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Odessa University in 1909. Scientific interests: rare earth and radioactive elements.

More than 180 scientific papers. He received 2 People's Commissariat of Education awards for scientific work.

In 1922-1934 headed the department of Inorganic Chemistry at the Chemical Institute, then the Pharmaceutical Institute in Odessa.

In 1925, he was elected a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, and in 1934 he was confirmed with the rank of professor.

In 1941, with the outbreak of war, the entire activity of the institute was restructured on a war footing. The period of study for students was reduced to 4 years, and the weekly study load of students reached 48 hours. At the end of October 1941, the 1st Moscow Medical Institute was evacuated to Ufa with its students and teaching staff and located on the basis of the Bashkir Medical Institute. Classes were held in the dormitory in two shifts, and students from the dormitory were moved to the apartments of Ufa students.

For two academic years, two medical institutes and their departments worked together in harmony. Along with their studies, students and teachers worked on clean-up days, helped industrial enterprises, agriculture, were on duty in hospitals and clinics, and participated in gratuitous donations. Despite the difficulties of wartime - lack of reagents, glassware, equipment, understaffing, interruptions in the supply of fuel, water, light - the department of General Chemistry continued to work successfully, carrying out educational, methodological and educational work. Independent work of students was widely practiced. To a certain extent, scientific work was also carried out. In the fifth volume of the “Collection of Scientific Works of the BMI” for 1943, an article “The influence of vapors and gases of Mount Yangan-Tau on the level of potassium and calcium in the blood” by E.S. Burkser and Sh.H. Meshcherova was published.

In August 1943 E.S. Burkser left for Moscow (re-evacuation), transferring the Department of General Chemistry to Associate Professor S.M. Moskovich

Simon Moiseevich Moskovich

Born on September 1, 1903 in the city of Amur Nizhne-Dneprovsk, Dnepropetrovsk region of the Ukrainian SSR. Graduated from the Faculty of Chemistry of the Higher Institute of Public Education (Dnepropetrovsk) in 1926.

Until 1941 he worked in Dnepropetrovsk as an assistant, then as an assistant professor at various universities. Candidate of Chemical Sciences since 1936. Associate Professor since 1938.

In 1941 he was evacuated along with the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR to Ufa. Headed the Department of General Chemistry of the BMI 1.06.1943 г. till 1.02.1970. In 1956-1964 also worked as a deputy of dean. Awarded the medal “For Valiant Labor in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945” and a Certificate of Honor from the Supreme Council of the BASSR. 25 scientific papers.

During this period, separate scientific studies were carried out to determine microelements - zinc, iodine, manganese in water, food products and biological fluids. However, the main efforts of the teaching staff were aimed at improving educational and methodological work. During these years, assistants Sh.Kh. Mescherova, N.V. Urazmetova, L.T. Vakhitova, A.Sh. Yukhanova, S.G. Kilmetova worked at the department.

In the 70s of the 20th century, the heads of departments of the medical institute were renewed. The Department of General Chemistry was headed by Associate Professor A.T. Kuzhakova (Bikkulova).

Born in the village of Kaltaevo, Kuyurgazinsky district of the BASSR in 1929. After graduating from the Muraptalovskaya secondary school in 1947, she entered the chemistry department of the Orenburg Pedagogical Institute, from which she graduated with honors in 1951. Until 1962 she worked as a chemistry teacher in schools of the BASSR. Since 1962 he has been working as an assistant at the Department of General Chemistry of the Bashkir Medical Institute.

In 1965-68 she was is a postgraduate student at the Department of Analytical Chemistry at Leningrad University.

From 1968 to 1970 – senior lecturer, since 1970 – head of the department of General Chemistry. Candidate of Chemical Sciences since 1969, received the title of associate professor in 1973. In 1983-86 senior researcher, working on his doctoral dissertation.

In 1986 he moved to Leningrad, worked as a senior teacher, and after defending his doctorate - as a professor at the Leningrad Pedagogical University.

He had about 150 scientific and educational works, a number of monographs. Scientific direction – chemical acmeology and bioelementology.

New teachers come to the department - R.I. Mustafina, K.Z. Kinyabulatova, L.B. Alekseeva, S.H. Nafikova. The institute opens a preparatory department for working and rural youth, where chemistry is taught by department staff V.Ya. Ivleva and O.V. Shayakhmetova.

Scientific work is intensifying. The department's staff is studying the synthesis of complex compounds of thiopyrine and its derivatives with heavy metals, their use in medicine and chemical analysis. The result of the scientific work is the development of methods for the concentration and determination of toxic metals in wastewater from oil refining and petrochemical industries.

In the 70s, university graduates came to the department, candidates of sciences E.A. Bayazitova, R.M. Badakshanov, R.N. Kharisova, M.V. Azarova. Assistants A.Sh.Yukhanova, S.Kh. Nafikova, R.M. Kondratenko are sent to the postgraduate studies. If until 1970 the department had one candidate of sciences - the head of the department S.M. Moskovich, then by 1980 the number of employees with an academic degree was already 70%. During this period, positive changes occur in educational and methodological work; a test form of monitoring students’ current knowledge begins to be introduced.

From 1983 to 2011 the Department of General Chemistry was headed by Doctor of Chemical Sciences, Professor E.V. Pastushenko.

After graduating from the Faculty of Chemical Technology of the Ufa Petroleum Institute in 1972, he studied in graduate school at the Department of General and Analytical Chemistry.

Professor E.V. Pastushenko was a major specialist in the field of organic synthesis. He obtained polyfunctional compounds that found applications as synthons for drugs, plasticizers and stabilizers of polymer materials, and as intermediates of fine organic synthesis. These studies involved D.E. Kruglov, V.K. Gumerova, L.L. Kostyukevich, G.I. Safiulova, who later became teachers at the Department of General Chemistry.

In 1983, with the opening of the Faculty of Pharmacy, a new chemical department was formed – Pharmaceutical Chemistry with courses of Analytical and Toxicological Chemistry. This department is being created on the basis of the Department of General Chemistry. Thus, , associate professor R.M. Badakshanov is sent from the Department of General Chemistry to create a course in analytical chemistry, senior teacher R.N. Kharisova to create a course in physical and colloid chemistry. They worked at the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry until 2000 and returned to the Department of General Chemistry.

In connection with the changes that took place in the country in the 90s, the scientific direction of the department is moving to the field of practical healthcare. Biotest systems and reagents are being developed for clinical laboratory diagnostics of biological components of the body - hemoglobin, albumin, creatine, urea, glucose, bilirubin, cholesterol. On the basis of the department, a research and production company “Remix Medpharm” is being created, the main task of which is to conduct research work on the development and provision of medical institutions in cities and regions of the republic with high-quality domestic diagnostic systems.

Thanks to the care of the university administration and the department, computer technology and multimedia systems are being introduced into the educational process, which makes it possible to improve the quality of lectures and laboratory practical classes, and control the knowledge of students.

In 2010, employees of the Department of Bioorganic and Biological Chemistry, Professor R.M. Kondratenko and Associate Professor G.A. Timirkhanova were transferred to the Department of General Chemistry.

Since 2012, the Department of General Chemistry has been headed by Doctor of Pharmaceutical Sciences S.A. Meshcheryakova, who in 2016 defended her doctoral dissertation “Synthesis, properties, structure and biological activity of new S and N pyrimidine derivatives”.

Currently, the department has 11 full-time teachers, including 1 Doctor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 7 Candidates of Sciences.

Along with labor veterans, associate professors S.Kh. Nafikova, R.M. Badakshanov, who worked at the medical university for 40 years, young teachers are working and gaining experience. The department has created educational and methodological materials, reference books, control materials for all taught disciplines and for all faculties.

The training of scientific and pedagogical personnel at the department is carried out through postgraduate school. From 2012 to 2017 completed postgraduate studies and defended candidate dissertations in the specialty “Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Pharmacognosy” - 1 person, in the specialty “Organic Chemistry” - 2 people. Currently, a full-time graduate student is studying under the guidance of the head of the department S.A. Meshcheryakova.
