[The surgical correction of traumatic deformities of the orbit in naso-fronto-orbito-cribriform fractures].

J. Raven's (1992) classification was used in the treatment of patients with multiple fractures of the face associated with contusions, brain concussions, and injuries to the skull vault and base. According to this classification, all injuries of the cerebral and facial skull are classified as types I, II, and subtype Ia.

[Effect of taurine on the properties of myocardial sarcoplasmic reticulum guanyl cyclase].

Effect of taurine on the properties of guanylate cyclase (GC) of the guinea-pig cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum was studied. The enzymatic activity increased in the presence of Mn+2 at a concentration of 0.05 mM, reaching the maximal level at a concentration of 7 mM.

[Taurine and the adenosine cyclic monophosphate levels in the heart].

The mechanism of the decrease in the heart of cAMP content under the effect of taurine was studied. It was shown on a preparation of cytoplasmic membranes isolated from the rat heart that under the effect of taurine (10(-6)--10(-3) M) the activity of phosphodiesterase and adenylate cyclase increases to the maximum by 2.4 and 1.
