[Risk and prophylaxis acute pancreatitis while enteral tube feeding in patients operated for destructive cholecystitis].

Determined by risk and method of prophylaxis of acute pancreatitis in the postoperative enteral tube feeding in patients with destructive cholecystitis, analyzed levels of a-amylase in blood serum and clinical manifestations of acute pancreatitis in 135 operated patients. It was established that the use of nasoduodenal access is more likely to cause the elevated level of serum amylase (p<0,05) and more incidence of sings of acute pancreatitis in contrast to nasoduodenal tube placement. For the prevention of acute pancreatitis with enteral tube feeding is preferred mode designed using nasoduodenal access.

[Effect of antenatal hypoxia on homocarnosine levels in the brain and blood of rats of various ages].

Content of homocarnosine was studied in brain and blood of 14, 30 and 70 days old rats, mothers of which were subjected to hypoxia, corresponding to the height 9,000 m within 1 hr, during 2 week pregnancy. In 14 days old animals content of homocarnosine was increased by 43% in brain and 2-fold in blood, in 30 days old animals it was decreased by 13% in brain and increased 5-fold in blood after the antenatal hypoxia as compared with controls. Content of homocarnosine was similar to control values in brain and blood of 70 days old rats with antenatal hypoxia.
