[Local synchronized activity of neurons of different classes in cat primary visual cortex].

The goal of the present study was to investigate the local synchronized neuronal activity in the cat visual cortex and the role of different classes of neurons in neural synchrony. Four classes of neurons were identified on the basis of electrophysiological properties of extracellular recorded cells: RS, FS, IB and FRB. It was revealed that neurons with short spikes and FRB type of activity were first engaged in synchronization.

[Modeling of localization phenomena of the auditory image caused by brain regions dysfunctions].

This paper focuses on the modeling of the neural representations of subjective auditory image motion characters that can be induced by bilateral brain dysfunctions. The modeling is based on a biologically inspired computational model that simulates the behavior of bilaterally located populations of binaural auditory neurons. To assess neural model responses in terms of psychophysical data, a special method is designed.

[Role of disrupting the antioxidant status of the body in forming the endogenous intoxication syndrome in patients with toxic and terminal stages of peritonitis].

Fifty-one patients with diffuse peritonitis were treated. 40 of these presented with the toxic stage and 11 had terminal stage with lethal outcomes. Studies of the antioxidant status showed an important role of lipid peroxidation metabolites in the formation of endogenous intoxication during the early postoperative period, manifesting, among other things, by decreased albumin transporting function.

[Liver function and the lipid metabolic status of patients before and after a surgical intervention on the gastrointestinal tract].

Local hepatic bloodflow (LHB) and metabolic processes were examined in patients with abdominal diseases during intensive transfusion and infusion therapy attended by incomplete parenteral feeding. A reduction of LHB and disorders of lipid metabolism were observed before surgery. After surgery LHB was still reduced on days 1-3.

[Hyperbaric oxygenation and current methods of detoxication in multimodal intensive therapy of diffuse peritonitis].

The course of diffuse peritonitis has been followed up in 219 patients, 20 of these with the reactive, 165 with toxic, and 34 with the terminal stages of the condition. Multiple-modality intensive care included, besides routine therapy, local abdominal hypothermia, UV irradiation of autoblood (UVIAB), and, if indicated, hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) and hemoperfusion. In addition to clinical tests, immunobiochemical monitoring of medium-molecular peptide fractions MM1 and MM2 and index of their distribution, as well as of circulating immune complexes CIC1 and CIC2 and the levels of immunoglobulins IgA, IgM, and IgG were the criteria for assessing the severity of intoxication and efficacy of intensive care and for predicting the course and outcome of the disease.
