UV-irradiated BSA: The details of aggregation kinetics and structural rearrangements.

UV-irradiation is a stress factor for proteins, leading to disruption of their native structure. Test systems based on UV-irradiated proteins are relevant for researchers, as they allow working directly with damaged protein molecules, which can be important when studying the properties and mechanisms of action of various antiaggregation agents. The study of UV-irradiated proteins can also have applied significance, including medical.

[Correction of autonomic hyperreactivity in surgery of children with spastic cerebral palsy].

Cardiovascular system parameters were used to investigate autonomous nervous system tone in 97 children with cerebral spastic paralysis during and after surgical treatment of contractures and vascular deformities in the lower extremities. The investigations have shown that additional protection of the autonomous nervous system with gangliolytics promotes to a decrease and stabilization of the autonomous nervous system tone. The necessity of an objective control over the autonomous nervous system tone in children with cerebral spastic paralysis and differentiated tactics of hyperreactivity correction with gangliolytics are discussed.

[Anesthesiologic tactics in the case of children with rheumatoid arthritis receiving hormonal therapy].

The efficacy of two types of perioperative corticosteroid therapy has been compared in 191 children with rheumatoid arthritis aged 4 to 15 years, who were preoperatively treated with steroid hormones. The data have been obtained that small doses of steroid hormones used for the prevention of acute adrenocortical insufficiency and differential approach to their application eliminate side effects of glucocorticoids and ensure more favourable conditions for surgery.
