[Antidiuretic reaction of the human and rat kidney to peroral administration of arginine-vasopressin and desmopressin].

Water in amount of 5 ml/100 g body weight was administered through a gastric probe into the stomach in alert rats; subjects-volunteers drank 20 ml of water per 1 kg of body weight. This resulted in diuresis at the peak of which the excreted water fraction reached 23% in rats and 12.4% in human subjects, whereas excretion of the osmotically free water amounted to 0.103 +/- 0.018 ml/min/100 g body weight and 10.0 +/- 1.8 ml/min/1.73 m2 of the body surface, respectively. These data indicate a practically complete inhibition of the arginine vasopressin secretion. On intragastric administration of 10 micrograms of arginine vasopressin or 0.2 microgram of desmopressin, with water in rats, a prolonged and quite obvious antidiuretic response occurred, with a marked increase of reabsorption of the osmotically free water in kidneys. A direct correlation has been found between the dose of the intragastrically administered vasopressin in the dose range from 0.1 to 10 micrograms/100 g body weight and a decrease of clearance of the osmotically free water. In subjects volunteers, an antidiuretic reaction to administration of 0.2 mg of desmopressin with water, was found. The data obtained provide a direct proof of intestinal absorption of nanopeptides without loss of their physiological activity. Significance of the data obtained for physiology of digestion and for clinical medicine, is discussed.

[The water-salt balance and renal function in space flights and in model experiments].

Study of a condition of mineral and water-electrolyte metabolism, function of kidneys, and their hormonal regulation during model experiments (hypokinesia, bed rest, immersion etc.), and also in space flights and in readaptation period, has shown a major role of water-electrolyte homeostasis during general adaptation of humans and animals to new conditions of life and to conditions of weightlessness in particular. The change in regulation of volumes of fluid milieu in an initial period of weightlessness was shown to be the consequence of redistribution of blood and hemodynamics of the shifts resulting in change of production of volume-regulation hormones, formation of negative water balance, and redistribution of fluid in the organism among various fluid compartments. At later stages of flight or long-term hypokinesia, a change of water-electrolyte homeostasis occurs with a decrease in the kidneys excretion of sodium, and diuresis, but with an increased excretion of calcium and production of ADH and RAAS hormones. Following returning to earth gravitation, the majority of astronauts have adaptive reactions, compensating for the loss extracellular fluid and mineral substances and formation of "earth" water-electrolyte homeostasis. For estimation of water-electrolyte homeostasis and the functions of kidneys in astronauts, various functional loading tests have been developed. The developed system of preventive maintenance is successfully used for abolition of adverse changes at various stages of space flight and in readaptation period.

[Architecture of physiological functions: the same basis but new aspects].

The principles of physiological functions formulated by J. Barckroft (constancy of the internal medium, reserves, any adaptation as an integration, principle of antagonism, doubling of mechanisms) are compared with principles of modern physiology. The place and role of physiology in the life sciences are discussed. The necessity of taking into consideration 4 level of regulation of functions (the nervous system, hormones, autacoids, physicochemical factors of the extracellular fluid) is substantiated, as well as the necessity of identification of 4 levels of organization of physiological systems. The main role of the water-salt homeostasis in maintaining the cell volume is suggested. Significance of various types of receptors and second messengers in regulation and modulation of functions is shown.

[Effect of vasotocin and prostaglandin E2 on absorption of water and ions in the large intestine of a grass fog].

In experiments on the frog Rana temporaria L. isolated colon, it has been shown that the rate of fluid absorption from the lumen is the highest when the lumen contains a hypotonic solution (22.5 mOsm/kg H2O), whereas the rate is lower in case of mucosal Ringer solution (225 mOsm/kg H2O). 10 nmole arginine-vasotocin rises the hypotonic fluid absorption, while 0.1 mumole prostaglandin E2 reduces the fluid absorption. Water content in the colon wall is the highest at mucosal hypotonic Ringer solution. 0.1 mumole prostaglandin E2 decreases hydration of the colon tissue. Secretion of prostaglandins E1 and E2 into the extracellular fluid of the colon has been established. The data obtained indicate participation of vasotocin and prostaglandin E2 in regulation of fluid absorption in the frog colon.

[Physiological analysis of plasma hypo-osmolality in pneumonia].

AIM: To study the physiological mechanisms of plasma hypoosmolality in patients with pneumonia and on this basis to elaborate principles of therapy for this condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 52 individuals of different age, including 26 patients with pneumonia, were examined. Osmolality, the concentrations of ions of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and creatinine were measured in the serum. RESULTS: The patients with pneumonia were found to have osmolality, hyponatremia in combination with severe hypodiuresis, high urinary osmotic pressure and intensive reabsorption of osmotically free water in the kidney, which leads to blood dilution. As hypoosmolality usually causes higher diuresis and decreased urinary osmolality; hypodiuresis with high urinary osmolality in pneumonia is indicative of effective renal performance and its altered regulation evidently due to the hypersecretion of vasopressin or to the decreased formation of a number of autacoids in the kidney. CONCLUSION: Blood hypoosmolality and hyponatremia in the examined patients result from inadequate blood osmolality and high urinary osmotic concentrating. The principles of this condition in pneumonia are discussed and aquaretics are proposed for use as pathogenetic therapy.

[Electron microscopic study of colonic epithelial cells from the grass frog Rana temporaria under different intensity of water absorption].

Three cell types have been revealed in the epithelium of the frog large intestine: granular, mitochondria-rich, and mucosal cells. Under a low water permeability (0.12 +/- 0.10 mkl/(min.cm2)) the distribution of intramembrane particles (IMP) in the apical cell membrane was the same as in the most cell plasma membranes studied with freeze-fracture method. Under rising osmotic permeability and water absorption (0.43 +/- 0.05 mkl/(min.cm2)) the IMP distribution did not change. In these conditions, the quantity of fusion sites between granule membranes and the apical membrane increased, and the intercellular spaces in basolateral epithelial region were diluted. A a low water permeability, in addition to usual microtubules, bundles of noncentrosomal microtubules with associated osmiophilic globules were revealed. A comparative analysis has been made of the present evidence and previously obtained data on the frog urinary bladder epithelium.

[Increase of water permeability and recovery of water impermeability of the frog urinary bladder].

The experiments carried out on the urinary bladder of the frog Rana temporaria L. have shown that the period of recovery of water impermeability after an increase of osmotic water permeability induced by arginine-vasotocin, desmopressin, or cAMP depends on the degree of increase of the osmotic permeability but not on the nature of the substance stimulating the increase of osmotic water permeability. The removal of the hormone in the absence of autacoids fails to recover the water impermeability. After cessation of the vasotocin action the water permeability decrease is delayed if phospholipase A2 and cyclooxygenase are inhibited by qiunacrine and voltaren, respectively. An agonist of V1-receptors has no effect on dynamics of the recovery of water impermeability. This recovery has been shown to depend on PGE2 concentration in the serosal solution after the hormone removal. The obtained results indicate that decrease of water permeability depends not only on removal of vasotocin or cAMP but also on involvement of autacoids.

[Functional role of V1- and V2-receptors of the apical and basolateral membranes of the frog bladder epithelial cells].

Arginine vasotocin, 0.02--1 nM, increases osmotic water permeability of frog urinary bladder, arginine vasotocin after a simultaneous addition to the mucosal and serosal Ringer solutions rises the water permeability to a lesser degree than on the hormone addition only to the serosal solution. 1 nM remestyp, an agonist of V1-receptors, from the apical membrane decreases the hydroosmotic effect of arginine vasotocin added to the serosal Ringer solution. When added to the mucosal solution, combination of the same concentrations of arginine vasotocin and SR 49059, an antagonist of V--receptors, or desmopressin, agonist of V2-receptor alone, increases the effect of the same concentration of arginine vasotocin added to the serosal solution. 1 nM arginine vasotocin at the luminal membrane increases secretion into the Ringer solution of prostaglandin E, and prostaglandin E1 but not of prostaglandin F2 alpha. The data obtained indicate the presence of the arginine vasotocin receptors responsible for the hydroosmotic effect only in the basolateral membranes, while arginine prostaglandin E, participation is shown in modulation of the arginine vasotocin effect.

[Possible mechanisms of polyuria in progressive chronic renal failure].

AIM: Elucidation of the role of saluresis and osmotic diuresis in renal function of patients with chronic renal failure. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The trial included 68 subjects, among them 25 patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) of the third and fourth degree aged 16 to 72 years. Enzyme immunoassay was used to measure osmolality, sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and creatinine concentrations in the serum and urine as well as urine prostaglandin E2. RESULTS: Renal function was studied in CRF patients with a 75-90% fall of glomerular filtration rate. Creatinine clearance was 19.9 +/- 0.96, it varied in different patients from 10.6 to 29.7 ml/min. It is shown that diuresis does not correlate with the total ion excretion (Na+ plus K+)(r = 0.946, p < 0.0001). A correlation was found between excretion of these ions and Mg2+ ions this indicating location of reabsorption reduction in the thick ascending limb of Henle loop. In CRF patients (Na+ plus K+) excretion correlated with PGE2 excretion (r = 0.65, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: It is suggested that at this stage of chronic renal failure the mechanism of a diuresis increase is not due to osmotic diuresis but rather to secretion of prostaglandin E2 which inhibits cation reabsorption and stimulates diuresis. Differences are considered between osmotic diuresis and different types of saluresis; their possible mechanisms are discussed.

[The evolution of osmoregulation in vertebrates (on the centenary of the birth of E. M. Kreps)].

The paper substantiates the point of view that the first step in the evolution of osmoregulation in vertebrates involved development of water-impermeable epithelium which depended on specific distribution of aquaporins in plasma membranes, secretion of autacoids, formation of water-impermeable cell contacts with a high electrical resistance. Migration of vertebrates to the land was associated with appearance of the ability to regulate osmotic permeability of epithelium in a number of organs involving vasotocin and other pituitary hormones, insertion of aquaporins into the luminal plasma membrane. Enhancement of the renal role in the water-salt balance, intensification of the kidney function was due to a rise in renal circulation, glomerular filtration rate, and tubular reabsorption which, despite the increase in the energy expenditure, provided for an obvious enhancement of the renal work efficiency in maintaining the constancy of the internal medium. Colonisation of desert regions became possible in birds and mammals due to development of the system of urine osmotic concentration. Unlike the accepted point of view that this depended on the appearance of Henle's loops, the statement is substantiated that the leading role in this process is played by differentiation of the kidney into the cortex and medulla, as at our Laboratory nephron loops similar to Henle's loop have been revealed in the lamprey. In the vertebrates, the evolution shifted from the polyorgan to mono-organ type of osmotic homeostasis maintenance, with the leading role of the kidney in maintaining physico-chemical constants of the internal medium fluids.

[Decrease of mortality after correction of water-electrolyte balance in basic therapy of ischemic stroke].

The subjects of the study were both 33 patients treated with a standard basic therapy including the use of diuretics, and 38 patients who at the same time, were treated with intravenous isotonic (5%) solution of glucose of keep blood serum osmolality at the upper normal level. This stabilisation of the blood osmolality has allowed the mortality to be decreased from 21.2 to 7.9% as well as it resulted in a decrease of the frequency of complications.
