[Parameters of 24-hour arterial pressure in patients with metabolic syndrome].

The paper analyses changes of the daily arterial pressure (AP) profile in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and concomitant metabolic disturbances. 24 hour AP monitoring and metabolic studies were performed in 3 groups of AH patients. One included 11 patients with AH and "complete" metabolic syndrome, another comprised 21 patients with less than 5 components of metabolic syndrome, and control group consisted of 35 AH patients without metabolic syndrome.

[Structural and functional myocardial alterations in patients with arterial hypertension associated with thyroid pathology under conditions of the Far North].

The remodeling types of left ventricle (LV), types and periodicity of heart arrhythmias have been studied in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) associated with thyroid pathology (mainly autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT)), residing in the Far North. It is shown, that in patients with AH associated with thyroid pathology, residing in Far North, defects of LV geometry, adverse in prognostic plan, are revealed significantly more often. The functional conditions of thyroid gland influences on distribution of LV geometry types (concentric LV hypertrophy is registered significantly more often at hypothyroidism).

[Nitrogenase and hydrogenase activities of the non-sulfur purple bacteria, Rhodopseudomonas spheroides and Rhodopseudomonas capsulata].

The greatest rate of acetylene reduction by Rhodopseudomonas spheroides and Rhodopseudomonas capsulata strains was found in the light in the presence of pyruvate, malate or lactate as well as, in the case of Rh. capsulata, in the presence of 10% H2. The activity of nitrogenase was higher in cells grown in the medium with malate than in cells cultivated in the medium with lactate.
