[Functional activity of phagocytizing cells of the female reproductive tract in inflammation of the upper part of genitalia].

66 women of reproductive age with different course of the inflammatory process in the upper section of the reproductive tract (endometritis and salpingo-oophoritis) were examined. The cell composition, viability and functional activity of the phagocytizing cells of cervical and endometrial secretions, as well as peritoneal exudate, were studied. The study revealed that these characteristics of the phagocytizing cells of the reproductive tract in women with the inflammatory process differed from similar characteristics in healthy women.

[Change in prostaglandin levels and ATPase activity of cardiac membrane fractions during the formation of cerebral hematomas in animals with a hereditary predisposition to stroke].

The formation of subarachnoidal, intragastric, and intracerebral hepatomas provoked by stress in rats hereditarily predisposed to strokes was found to be accompanied by myocardial overstrain and changes in cardiac prostaglandin formations, as well as by a decrease in the activity of ion-transporting enzymes, such as Na, K- and Ca,Mg-ATPases in the plasma membranes, Ca-ATPase in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

[ATPase activity, cyclic nucleotide levels in the heart and lipid peroxidation in the aorta of spontaneously hypertensive rats].

Activities of Na+,K+- and Ca2+, Mg2+- ATPases as well as content of cAMP were increased in heart tissues of spontaneously hypertensive rats as compared with normotensive animals. On the other hand, the rate of lipid peroxidation was decreased in aorta of the hypertensive rats.

[Effect of linoleic acid in the diet on arterial pressure, ATPase activity and cyclic nucleotide level in the heart of rats with spontaneous hypertension].

A study was made of the effect of exogenous linoleic acid introduced with feed in the amount of 0.1 cal. % (group I), 9 cal.
