The activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and its isoenzymatic spectrum were studied in biopsy specimen of the myocardium of 35 patients with mitral valvular disease who underwent operation. Starch gel electrophoresis was used. Four fractions of LDH isoenzymes were detected: LDH1, LDH2, LDH3, and LDH4. A definite metabolic trend of their changes in different stages of the disease was determined. LDH1 activity was considerably increased in patients with stage III mitral stenosis who had complications in the postoperative period. This is evidence of unstable compensation in patients of this group and may indicate the possible development of complications in the early postoperative period.

Maghreb is known to be one of the most endemic areas of leishmaniases where both visceral and cutaneous forms are reported. Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is older and has a higher prevalence than visceral one (VL). It is caused by four taxa (Leishmania (L.

The plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) and plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) are specialized native species of the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau. The goal of this study was to examine physiological differences in skeletal muscle glycolysis and hepatic lactate metabolism between these two species. The partial sequence of pyruvate carboxylase (PC) gene was cloned and sequenced.

Influence of different light conditions on some physiological parameters of 3-month old male rats was studied. It was established that influence of constant light on mothers during pregnancy or on their posterity from birth leads to one-way changes of the antioxidant system, isoenzymatic spectrum of lactate dehydrogenase, blood indices and leucogram. However, the reaction is different and depends on moment of exposure.

Background: Information regarding leishmaniasis recidiva cutis (LRC), a clinical variant of cutaneous leishmaniasis, in the New World is scarce. LRC is characterized by slowly progressing lesion(s) that appear after a variable period of time, from months to years, in or around the scar of an apparently clinically healed sore.

Patients And Methods: Six patients are reported who presented with crusted, papular lesions located on the edge of a healed scar, with a mean of 18.
