[Effect of local hypothermia on H- and M-responses after spinal cord contusion in dogs].

In this study we investigated a motor-neuronal functional state based on H- and M-responses from m. quadratus plantae in dogs before and after experimental spinal cord contusion with and without following local intraoperative hypothermia. H- and M-responses from m.

[Influence of hypokinezia of varying duration on the nitric oxide productions dynamics in rat's heart, spinal cord and liver].

By electron paramagnetic resonance method analyzed the production of nitric oxide (NO) in atrias and ventricles of the rat's heart, spinal cord and liver of rats after the contained in conditions of hypokinesia during 30, 60 and 90 days. It was discovered that the regime of hypokinesia leads to increase NO production in all the investigated tissues, and the largest increases were observed in 30-day hypokinesia.

[Electron paramagnetic resonance study of nitric oxide production in rat heart during hypokinesia].

By the method of EPR spectroscopy we studied the intensity of nitric oxide (NO) production after modeling of hypokinesia in rats (limitation of moving activity) through analyses of the amount of NO-containing paramagnetic complexes in tissues of heart and liver. Experimental animals were kept during 60 day protracted hypokinesia. NO amount was assessed by the intensity of EPR spectra of complex (DEDTC)2-Fe(2+)-NO.

[Changes in nitric oxide in heart of intact and sympathectomized rats of different age].

Nitric oxide production in heart tissues of rats of different age in the norm and after pharmacological sympathectomy was studied by electron spin resonance spin-trapping. Rats at the age of 14, 21, 70, and 100 days were used in the experiment. The concentration of nitric oxide produced in rat heart tissues proved to considerably decrease during ontogeny.

[The actualization of heteronomous monosynaptic connections of IA afferents in the muscle motor centers of the human hand].

Reflex excitability of spinal centers of hand muscles was examined in normal subjects and patients with traumatic lesion of forearm nerves. Central and peripheral muscle responses were evoked by stimulation of homonymous and heteronymous nerves. Patients with median and/or ulnar nerve lesion showed the heteronymous abductor pollicis brevis and abductor digit minimi H-responses.
