[Functional state of the liver at modeling hemodynamic effects of the weightlessness in human organism].

The radioisotope researches (RR) ofcholeresis function of a liver, the ultrasonic researches (USR) of a liver, the contractile gallbladder function (GF) and the gastroduodenoscopy (GDS) were carried out at 8 men after 24 hour duration of stay in antiorthostatic position--12 degrees (AOP), simulating arising in weightlessness of hemodynamics changes in abdominal cavity. The dynamic difficulty of venous blood outflow from a liver at simulated in antiorthostatic position changes of activation choleresis on an empty stomach was produced, by increase of a zone central perfusion of a liver parenchyma, biliary ductules dilation and of a gallbladder reduction, and were accompanied by choleresis in duodenum. The activation choleresis in a liver was accompanied by of reduction of the area of radioactive marker distribution in a liver, the decrease of hepatocytes metabolic activity and concentration function ofbiliary excretion system.

[The clinical physiology of the digestive system. The difficulties in its determination and the first results].

The paper shows it necessary to define clinical physiology of the digestive system as a nosological entity due to the natural evolution of physiology and to the increasing clinical practical requirements. It considers its purpose, tasks, and areas under study and gives the results of some original studies of the gastroduodenal and hepatobiliary systems and the small intestine. Special emphasis is laid on new guidelines to examining the functional and morphological states of the alimentary tract.

[Specific features of the motor function of the digestive organs in persons with different degree of resistance to motion sickness].

The effect of three exposures to Coriolis acceleration on the frequency and amplitude of fasting stomach contractions was investigated in 6 resistant and 16 susceptible to motion sickness test subjects. After tests all of them underwent gastroduodenoscopy and 4 subjects from each group were subjected to echography to measure gall bladder contractility in response to glucose-milk loads. After tests the motor activity of the stomach increased slightly in resistant subjects due to an increase of the amplitude and a slight decrease of biopotential frequency.
