Thiamine cardiotropism.

Thiamine administration (200 mg/kg 2 hours before start of the experiment) substantially reduced the myocardial ischaemic lesion in a model of experimental myocardial infarction in the rat. As shown by stereometric analysis of histological heart preparations, the cytoprotective action of vitamin B1 is mediated by increased cardiomyocyte resistance towards ischaemia, i.e.

[Treatment of decubitus ulcer by "Algimaf" preparation].

The process of treatment of 20 spinal patients with 26 decubituses of different localization by means of applications of alginatous coating "Alghimaf" has been observed. The results of treatment are as follows: 22 wounds healed with formation of soft elastic cicatrix, 2 patients have been discharged from hospital with actively epithelializing wounds, 2 patients were subjected to epidermatoplasty. The method of control: chnic observation, planimetry, citologic, microbiologic investigations.

[Experimental study of new polymer dressings in the treatment of burn wounds].

Data on the experimental study of a new polymer coverage for treatment of burn wounds are presented in the article. Application of this coverage, which has a tanning and absorbing affect promotes formation of a dry eschar over a burn wound within the first two days after the accident. This allows to perform early chemical necrectomy on the 6-7th day after the accident.

[Kinetic characteristics of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase from bull adrenal cortex].

The hyperbolic dependence of the initial rate of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase-catalyzed reaction on 6-phosphogluconate and NADP concentrations has been established. The Lineweaver-Burk plots of V0 against concentration of one substrate with constant unsaturating concentrations of another substrate cross left from the ordinate axis. The Km value for 6-phosphogluconate is equal ot 0.
