[Combined endolymphatic therapy in patients with diffuse peritonitis].

The results of treatment of 25 patients with diffuse peritonitis whom the combined endolymphatic therapy was conducted in postoperative period, including the lymph irradiation with helium-neon laser and direct endolymphatic antibacterial therapy, are presented. Catheter was used introduced in peripheral lymph vessel on the dorsal surface of foot. The decrease of organism intoxication, more rapid than in control, was noted.

[Middle molecular weight peptides from rat blood serum during acute liver injury and administration of iodinated oil].

A spectrum of mean-molecular blood serum peptides in rats with experimental toxic hepatitis and parenteral injection of iodinated oil has been studied using the method of gel-filtration on a sephadex G-25. It is established that the toxic hepatitis is characterized by the expressed rearrangement of the stock of mean-molecular peptides with a preferential growth in the blood serum and normalization of their concentrations 24h after the injection of iodinated oil accompanied by attenuation of the organism intoxication phenomena. An increase in the content of mean-molecular peptides was registered 48 hours after the iodinated oil injection.

[Status of the thyroid gland in patients with schizophrenia].

A study was made of pituitary-thyroid function in patients with different forms of schizophrenia. Radioimmunoassay was used. All the patients with schizophrenia showed impairment of interrelations within the pituitary-thyroid system, which manifested by accumulation in the peripheral blood of metabolically active T3 due to enhanced degradation of T4 in the peripheral tissues.

[Amino acid reserves of the blood in patients with schizophrenia and their correction in insulin coma].

Free amino acid content was measured in the blood serum in patients with permanently progressive paranoid schizophrenia under conventional insulin shock therapy. The influence of several amino acids (methionine, glutamic acid) preinjection on their base levels was also assessed. Metabolic response to the insulin coma was different in preinjected vs.
