[Energy metabolism in skeletal muscles in experimental traumatic shock].

Content of ATP and adenylate nucleotides was not markedly altered in rats during a traumatic shock induced by Cannon's procedure involving an impairment of skeletal muscles. Energy potential and content of creatine phosphate were only slightly decreased in these tissues, while the level of lactate and the lactate/pyruvate ratio were increased at the terminal phase.

[Prognostic importance of kidney function studies in the surgical treatment of vasorenal hypertension].

A separate assessment of renal function by Howard and Rapoport tests was carried out upon 23 cases of unilateral and 5 cases of bilateral renal arterial stenosis diagnosed through angiography. Functionally significant stenosis was found in 18 unilateral cases (78.3%), 12 of them were operated upon.
