[The effect of the Russian inhalant glucocorticosteroid budesonide on bronchial inflammation and hyperreactivity during the long-term treatment of bronchial asthma patients].

11 patients with severe bronchial asthma entered a randomized trial of glucocorticosteroid budesonide of Russian produce. Of them 6 patients received inhalations of budesonide (800 micrograms/day for 6 months), 5 control patients did not receive the drug. As shown by investigations of external respiration and bronchoalveolar lavage with estimation of cytogram, metacholine provocative tests, fiber bronchoscopy, budesonide inhalations relieved clinical symptoms of asthma, bronchial hyperreactivity and inflammation.

[An attempt to use ofloxacin in patients with mucoviscidosis].

The literature data and the data of the authors on the pathogenesis and pathogenetic and etiotropic therapy of mucoviscidosis are presented. The use of ofloxacin as an antibacterial agent in the complex treatment of mucoviscidosis is considered expedient. The drug was administered intravenously in a dose of 400 mg twice a day for 5 days followed by the oral use of the drug in the form of tablets according to the same scheme. The microbiological investigation of the sputum specimens revealed diagnostically significant titers of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella spp. The isolates except for one case (Ps.aeruginosa) were susceptible to ofloxacin. The treatment with ofloxacin in accordance with the above scheme resulted in a rapid improvement of the patient state: the intoxication lowered, the expectoration and the sputum viscosity decreased, the body temperature normalized by the 5th day. The drug tolerance after the intravenous and enteral administration was good. The intravenous injections of ofloxacin induced a 1.5-fold increase in the intensity of the neutrophil oxygen burst. After the drug enteral administration there was observed a 2-fold increase the intensity of the neutrophil oxygen burst.

[Treatment of patients with pneumonia, chronic obstructive bronchitis and mucoviscidosis with cefpirome].

Twenty two patients with inflammatory respiratory tract infection were treated with cefpirome. Among the patients 14 were with severe pneumonia, 4 with exacerbated obstructive chronic purulent bronchitis and 4 with mucoviscidosis. All the patients were subjected to clinical, laboratory and x-ray examinations, electrocardiography, estimation of the external respiration and sputum bacteriological tests. The cefpirome susceptibility was determined by the agar diffusion assay with standard disks from Roussel Uclaf. Cefpirome was administered by slow intravenous infusion in a daily dose of 2 to 4 g every 12 hours depending on the disease severity. After 2 or 3 days of the patient afebrile temperature and normal differential blood count the therapy was discontinued. The favourable time course of the disease was recorded in 12 out of the 14 patients with pneumonia. Recovery and clinical improvement were stated in 64.3 and 21.4 per cent of the cases respectively. In 2 patients the treatment failed. In all the patients with exacerbated severe chronic purulent bronchitis the cefpirome therapy resulted in the disease remission. The clinical effect of the mucoviscidosis treatment was observed in 3 out of the 4 patients. The drug tolerance in the doses used was good.

[Bioavailability of dalargin and its metabolism during intranasal administration to rats].

Bioavailability and metabolism of a peptide drug Dalargin with a chemical structure Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-Leu-Arg have been examined. Dalargin is applied for the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers. Bioavailability was estimated following intramuscular (i/m) and intranasal (i/n) routes of administration of 3H-dalargin in anesthetized dogs. The highest dalargin concentration was achieved about 10 min after i/m and i/n administration. Absolute dalargin bioavailability was 15% and 8%, while its elimination half-life was 23.2 min and 21.3 min, respectively. Tyrosine, N-terminated tetra- and pentapeptides were the main metabolites detected in the blood. The intranasal route of dalargin administration is concluded to be possible in the clinical practice.

[The dependence of the cytokinetic effects of alkylating antitumor preparations on the phase of the hepatocyte cell cycle in regenerating liver].

Effects of alkylating antitumor drugs on resting (G0 phase of cell cycle) and proliferating (G1, S, G2 and M phases) hepatocytes were studied in regenerating mouse liver. Cell cycle kinetics (fraction of labeled mitoses, labeling and mitotic indices) were determined by 3H-thymidine autoradiography. Dipin and fotrin as a DNA-damaging agents attack mainly resting (G0) and proliferating (G1) cells. Effect of the damage results in the inhibition of DNA synthesis and G2 phase arrest in the following mitotic cycle. An alkylating drug phopurin as well as ara-C both suppress the mitotic progression in proliferating hepatocytes and do not influence the resting cells.
