[General inhalant anesthetics: the dependence of the narcotic effect on the concentration in the brain].

It has been shown in rat experiments that isonarcotic concentrations of inhalation anesthetics (pentane, hexane, heptane) varied in the brain depending on the regimen of monoanesthesia. It has been demonstrated that the high content of anesthetics in the priming mixture results in a decline of the isoeffective brain concentration. Preliminary anesthesia leads to an increase in this indicator.

[Fluorothane pharmaco kinetics in brain structures and the permeability of the hemato-encephalic barrier in postnatal ontogeny].

Distribution of ftorotan in the brain structures (hemispheres, thalamus, cerebellum, limbic structures) and blood, and permeability of the blood brain barrier of the listed brain structures were studied by gas chromatography in postnatal ontogenesis (7, 17, 30, 60 and 90 days) of white rats during three stages of anesthesia -- initial, "surgical" and final ones. It has been established that the histohematic barrier is most permeable prior to 17-day age; the blood brain barrier is the least permeable in 7- and 17-day-old animals. Sorption of the brain tissue increases after 17 days and reaches maximum by day 90 of the postnatal development.

[Effect of serotonin and monoamine oxidase inhibitors on corneal anesthesia produced by celnovocaine and novocaine].

In experiments on guinea pigs it is shown that a preliminary intraperitoneal administration of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) -- transamine (10 mg/kg) or malic acid benzyldihydrazide (50 mg/kg) antagonizes the local anesthetic action of celnovocaine (CC) and novocaine (NC). An analogous effect is also observed following instillation of transamine (a 0.1% solution) and malic acid benzyldihydrazide (a 0.
