[Experimental study of the morphohistochemical changes in the liver during postoperative pulmonary hypertension].

In order to assess the morphohistochemical state of the liver after pulmonectomy the liver structure of 25 mature dogs was studied within 3 months after resection of one lung by a conventional method. The authors make a conclusion that changes in the liver resulting from extensive resection of one lung can be prevented by measures eliminating stagnation in the venous system of the large circulation circuit.

[Structural changes in the lung and the serum lipid content in pulmonary hypertension after an experimental pulmonectomy].

In the experiments on 20 dogs with the left-side pulmonectomy it has been shown that the removal of one lung results in a progressive rise of the pulmonary circulation blood pressure which, in turn, causes some changes in the structure of the lung and of its function in the lipid metabolism.
