[A case of diagnosis of Landry ascending paralysis of herpetic etiology].

One clinical and pathomorphologic case of Landry paralysis with a proven etiological role of herpetic infection is reported. Acute clinical syndrome developed as a manifestation of exacerbation of chronic inflammation in the central nervous system. Advancement of the process and generalisation of herpetic infection was connected with immunodeficiency in this patient.

[Catecholamine concentration in blood, heart, and adrenals of rats following intraperitoneal injections of a cardiotoxic dose of adrenaline against a background of arfonad and rausedyl administration].

A study was made of the adrenaline and noradrenaline content in the blood, myocardium and adrenals of 74 male Wistar rats. Four series of experiments were conducted with administration of noradrenaline alone and noradrenaline after premedication with arfonad (ganglion-blocking agent) or rausedil (reserpine drug). Distilled water was used in control experiments.

[Staining with hematoxylin--basic fuchsin-picric acid (HBFP) for detection of myocardial lesions of different etiology].

The article discusses advantages of the so-called fuchsinorrhagic method offered by Lie et al. in 1971. Areas of the necrotized muscle obtained at autopsy of 11 individuals who had died of myocardial infarction of various periods of duration, 12 biopsy specimens of the myocardium obtained during the operation for correction of congenital heart defects of the type of Fallot's tetrad and isolated defects of the septum with various periods of extracorporeal circulation and hearts of 35 male Wistar rats with a damaged myocardium (lesions being induced by intro-abdominal injection of noradrenalin in a dose of 2.
