Protective effect of energy metabolism regulators in alteration of gravitation load under experimental conditions.

Mitochondrial substrate-based preparations corrected disorders, caused by long-term exposure to abnormal gravitation vector in head-down tilt (hanging) test in rats. The preparations produced systemic and polyorgan protective effects consisting in correction of the blood prooxidant/antioxidant balance, energy metabolism in musculus soleus, and minimization of morphological changes in the liver and kidneys.

[Pathomorphological characteristics of cerebral arterioles and capillaries in surgical epileptic patients with generalized seizures].

Clinical and morphological analyses of brain biopsy specimens from epileptic patients undergone surgery have indicated that the brain vascular system in epilepsy has the most vulnerable site, namely: pre-capillary arterioles and capillaries. At the same time, the paper describes some dissimilarities of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the above vessels from their changes in hypertensive angiopathy. There was a relationship of arteriolar changes to the duration and severity of epilepsy.

[The development of species-specific test systems for the rapid diagnosis of staphylococcal infections].

Highly purified teichoic acids (TA) were isolated from Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis and characterized. The preparations of TA were highly species-specific.

[The morphological characteristics of the lung lesions in straighteners working with brass-bronze alloys].

Morphologic study of lung specimens obtained during diagnostic thoractomy in 6 workers engaged in smelting brass-bronze alloys showed changes typical of exogenous fibrosing alveolitis, namely, terminal bronchiolitis with pseudopolypous growth in the submucous layer, vasculitis (predominantly arteritis) paralleled by secondary recalibration of vessels, arteriolar and venular shunting, and microcirculatory disorders.

[Neutrophil and macrophage functional activity during the irradiation of an intestinal anastomosis with a low-intensity laser in the infrared spectral range].

The influence of different methods of treatment of intestinal anastomosis in rabbits (group 1: common single-row sutures; group 2: sutures treated with cyanacrylate glue CO-4; group 3: low-intensity laser irradiation through the skin in the infrared spectral range) on the phagocytic and oxidase activity of cells in the peritoneal washings and peripheral blood on days 2, 4 and 7 after the operation was studied. Laser irradiation of the suture was shown to produce a stimulating effect on the macrophagal-phagocytic system of the blood. The oxidase activity of phagocytes in peritoneal washings in the group of animals subjected to laser irradiation was considerably lower than in two other groups.
