[The bioenergetics system of the blood lymphocytes in infectious-allergic myocarditis].

46 patients with infectious-and-allergic myocarditis (IAM) and 46 patients with myocarditic cardiosclerosis (MCS) were studied for cytochemical parameters of blood lymphocyte bioenergetics. In IAM, cellular metabolism was found out to be disturbed, with the activity of G-6-PDG in spontaneous NST-test being risen against the background of depression of NAD- and NADP-diaphorases, lowering of the endogenous cytochrome "C" content and activity of alpha-GPDG. One third of IAM patients demonstrated protracted variant of the disease course by a study into the bioenergetic status of blood lymphocytes.

[Coenzyme metabolic therapy in infectious allergic myocarditis].

A trial was performed of clinical efficacy of the coenzyme complex incorporating piridoxalphosphate, cobamamide and phosphaden in patients with infectious allergic myocarditis. Myo- cardial dystrophy and correlations of the myocardial enzymatic status with blood lymphocytes in the above patients were taken in consideration. Corrective action of metabolic therapy on myocardial bioenergy was coupled with positive antiarrhythmic and cardiotonic effects.

[The cytochemical characteristics of the blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes in dilated cardiomyopathy and an inflammatory myocardial lesion].

Using methods of cytochemical investigation of the blood polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNL), parameters have been studied, characterizing the systems of biological defence and bioenergetics in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP), infectious allergic myocarditis (IAM) and myocarditic cardiosclerosis (MCS). DCMP patients showed depression of NBT--test against the background of the increase in the cationic proteins (CP) level in the blood PMNLs, which was a major cytochemical feature. G-6-PhDG activity was increased in IAM patients against the background of high values of NBT-test.

[The metabolic characteristics of the blood leukocytes in infectious-allergic myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy].

41 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP), 62 patients with infectious allergic myocarditis (IAMC) and 36 patients with myocarditis cardiosclerosis (MCCS) were examined cytochemically. This involved assessment of the activity of alpha-glycerophosphate- and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenases, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide- and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorases, NBT test parameters, measurements of endogenic cytochrome C and cation protein, activity of acid and alkaline phosphatase, lymphocyte peroxidase and that in peripheral blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes. The findings of the study confirmed a close functional and metabolic relation of the above cytochemical indices.

[Features of the structure and fatty acid composition of serum albumin in experimental myocarditis].

Properties of animal serum albumin transport and its structure were studied in experimental myocarditis. The data obtained suggest that impairments in myocardium were of chronic and recurring type. The albumin exhibited a high structure-functional variability.
