[Clinical-pathologoanatomic analysis of post-operative thromboembolism of pulmonary artery].

Autopsy and clinical data were analysed for 803 surgical patients whose death was due to pulmonary artery thromboembolism (PAT). PAT was diagnosed intravitally in 32% of the deceased. 87% of the patients with PAT symptoms died within 2 hours.

[Functional interactions of components of the adenylate cyclase system in the rat liver after prenatal exposure to gamma irradiation].

The effects of long-term prenatal gamma-radiation (0.5 Gy) on the glucagon signalling through adenylyl cyclase in adult rat liver have been investigated. The coupling of receptor/Gs-protein/adenylyl cyclase was tested using kinetic constants for stimulation of adenylyl cyclase by GTP, Gp(NH)pp, AlF4- and glucagon.

[The iliac vein occlusion].

Basing on roentgenological and morphological investigations the causes of the iliac veins passability disorder were studied up. In 45.1% of observations the stenosis was revealed of the left and in 1.

[Morphologic changes in the thrombus and venous wall in experimental phleobothrombosis and thrombophlebitis].

Phlebothrombosis and thrombophlebitis were induced in dogs by percutaneous intraoperative introduction of thrombotic mass, obtained in vivo (20-40 animal blood per 3-4 ml thrombin solution) into jugular vein and studied in postoperative days 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 14 through light microscope. The preparations were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and after Hart, Van-Gieson and MSB. Venous intima was established to alter already on the next day following thrombophlebitis modeling.

[Effect of prenatal gamma-irradiation on functional properties of rat liver adenylate cyclase].

In the present work the effects of long-term prenatal gamma-irradiation (0.5 Gy) on the glucagon signalling through adenylyl cyclase have been investigated. In utero gamma-irradiation resulted in the increase of basal and GTP-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity, whereas, the adenylyl cyclase response to glucagon was essentially reduced.

[Modeling of phlebothrombosis in experimental animals].

Phlebothrombosis model was elaborated in experiment. The thrombotic mass was obtained in vitro, mixing the blood of animal with thrombin. Retracted thrombus was injected by puncture into previously ligated segment of the dog's v.

[Effect of single-dose external gamma-irradiation of 0.5 g on the development of rat's embryos].

Primigravida 4-month rats were exposed to single whole-body external gamma-radiation (137Cs, 0.5 Gy) during organogenesis on days 9 and 15 of pregnancy. The embryotoxic effect of radiation was studied on the 20th day of pregnancy.

[Changes in the adrenergic structures of the human stellate ganglia in pathological states].

Stellate ganglia from patients who had succumbed to various diseases were examined by a fluorescent histochemical technique using 2% glyoxylic acid. Catecholamines were detectable in the major neurons, in small intensely fluorescent cells, and in adrenergic fibers with varicosities at levels that varied with the patient's age, cause of death, duration of the agonal period, the treatment administered, and the time when the material had been taken after death. All adrenergic structures of the ganglia were clearly demonstrable after early autopsies of those who had died suddenly from pulmonary artery thromboembolism in the absence of other abnormalities.
