[Effect of lead intoxication on chelate producing liver function and its regulation with enterosorption detoxification].

A total of 27 patients facing chronic lead intoxication was examined and treated by enteral absorption. Enteral absorption was proved to increase chelation, improve hepatic conjugation and excretion, reduce serum lead level, normalize some biochemical parameters and improve the general status in patients facing lead intoxication.

[The effect of anti-orthostatic action on the resorption of cerebrospinal fluid and various hemodynamic indicators in increased intracranial pressure].

Intracranial, systemic, arterial, and venous pressure as well as pressure in the sagittal sinus increased when dogs were given an antiorthostatic position. Changes of hemodynamic parameters in response to additional increase of intracranial pressure were more marked in an antiorthostatic than in a horizontal position. Hemodynamic shifts in an antiorthostatic position were attended by diminished rate of cerebrospinal fluid resorption and its increased production.

[Participation of the lymphatic system in cerebrospinal fluid drainage in intracranial hypertension (experimental research)].

Two series of experiments were conducted on 17 mongrel dogs to investigate the participation of the lymphatic system of the head neck in drainage of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF): in increase of intracranial pressure (ICP) to 500 mm water column in the first series, and in ICP of 1,000 mm water column in the second series. 131I-labelled albumin was used as the indicator, which was added to the artificial CSF to increase the ICP. It was established that the lymphatic system of the head and neck takes part in CSF resorption which is most manifest in higher levels of intracranial hypertension.
