Study of biocompatibility of peritoneal dialysis solutions measured as in vitro cells viability.

This paper presents the comparable viability study results of the HepG2 and Vero cells in the presence of traditional peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions determined by three methods (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol]-2-yl-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), neutral red (NR) and sulforhodamine B assays) with establishing different correlations between viability and quality indexes of the tested PD solutions. The obtained results confirmed cytotoxicity of the PD solutions even compared with an isotonic solution of sodium chloride. PD solutions action resulted in a similar reduction in the HepG2 and Vero cells.

[The effect of a high-altitude climate on the function of the respiratory system in children with asthma].

In 108 asthmatic children (age 6-15 years) an effect of the 6-8 weeks stay in the High Tatra mountains (Children's Lung Institute, Dolný Smokovec) on lung function was studied in the years of 1985-1988. The patients consisted of groups followed-up in different periods of the latter years. Indications for the stay was airway obstruction (a.
