Possibilities of therapeutic correction of hyperammonemia and minimal hepatic encephalopathy in patients with chronic hepatitis C at the pre-cirrhotic stage.

Aim: Study of the social consequences of cognitive disorders in minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) in patients with chronic genotype 1 hepatitis C and the possibilities of their pharmacological correction with L-ornithine-L-aspartate (LOLA, Hepa-Merz).

Materials And Methods: The study group included 60 male patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C, genotype 1 with fibrosis stage F1 according to the METAVIR scale, and presented with MHE. The average age of the patients was 34.

[Post-radiation changes in cyclic nucleotide levels and cAMP and cGMP in chromatin from rat blood lymphocytes].

The change of contents of cyclic nucleotides (cAMP and cGMP) in lymphocyte chromatin of rats blood under norm and after X-ray irradiating in doses 0.5; 1 and 7.76 Gy was established.

[Features of DNA synthesis in chromatin from rat blood lymphocytes upon exposure to varying doses of ionizing radiation].

Changes in the level of chromatin DNA synthesis after the total X-ray irradiation of rats in the dozes 0.5 Gr, 1 Gr and 7.76 Gr were shown.

[The pathoanatomical,diagnosis of progressive forms of pulmonary tuberculosis in relation to the new clinical classification].

This communication is a letter of information that gives for postmortem diagnosis a brief account of tuberculous inflammation and major types of pulmonary tuberculosis during their progression to death and an approximate outline of pathoanatomical diagnosis. Terminal tuberculosis is shown to be now complicated by miliary and caseous pneumonias. Caseous pneumonia may appear as an independent nosological entity and as a complication of acute progression, more frequently, of fibrocavernous tuberculosis.
