[Alteration of several indices of carbohydrate metabolism in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid following surgery on patients with intracranial aneurysms].

The content of the lactic acid (LA) and pyruvic acid (PA) was determined pre- and postoperatively in the arterial blood and CSF of 31 patients with intracranial aneurysms. A considerable elevation of the concentration of LA and PA was noted along with an increasing LA/PA in the CSF of patients with symptoms of ischaemic damage of the brain. During surgery under fluothane narcosis these patients also demonstrated a distinct elevation of the LA level along with an increasing LA/PA ratio. In the CSF the growing content of glycolysis metabolites was not accompanied by LA/PA changes. The employment of artificial hypotension had no important effect upon the changes of these parameters in the CSF.

[Artificial arterial hypotension during surgical treatment of intracranial aneurysms].

In studying the content of lactic and pyruvic acids in the cerebrospinal fluid of 31 patients during operation for intracranial aneurysms under halothane anesthesia, the authors established that the performance of these operations under protection of deep (40 mm Hg) and prolonged (up to 2 hrs 25 min) artificial arterial hypotension in an uncomplicated course of the surgical intervention was not attended with hypoxic damage of the brain. The danger of hypoxia developing became greater when acute disturbances of blood flow in the cerebral arteries (clipping of a vessel, spasm) occurred in the period of hypotension.

[Structural-functional state of platelets at the initial stage of aggregation].

ADP-induced changes of light transmission of platelet suspension were studied with a laser aggregometer at concentration variation of both cells and aggregation agents. It was shown that a decrease of light transmission of platelet suspension was due to structure-morphological changes of platelets and pseudopodia formation. An investigation method of platelet aggregation with a small content of cells in the solution permits to fix distinctly the stages of the platelet structural states in the processes of stimulation and aggregation.

[Quinone-reducing activity of thrombocytes].

NAD/P/H: quinone-oxidoreductase activity was determined in human thrombocytes using spectrophotometric and polarographic methods. Detergents, vitamins K3 and K1, ADP-induced aggregation of the thrombocytes were shown to affect the thrombocytic guinone-reductase activity. Possible localization of quinone-reductase in thrombocytes and its importance for the state of thrombocytic membrane are discussed.

[Lipid peroxidation and development of dystrophic changes in the intervertebral disks during atherosclerosis].

Lipoproteins of intervertebral discs, spinal cord and blood were studied spectrofluorimetrically in experimental atherosclerosis. Lipoproteins and hydroperoxides accumulated in the intervertebral discs under dystrophic conditions. Blood serum lipoproteins were involved in pathogenesis of these atheromatous impairments in the intervertebral discs. Content of lipoproteins in the discs might be normalized by means of diet-fasting therapy.
