[Effect of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids of animal origin on changes in regulation of lipid peroxidation in patients with ischemic heart disease].

The study's results showed reliable decrease in lipid peroxidation activity according to value of general sum of light, induced by hydrogen peroxide of initiated hemoluminescence and malonic dialdehyde concentration (P<0.05). The activity of antioxidant enzymes in the second group as compared with the control one has changed as follows: catalase concentration of blood serum of patients with ischemic heart disease increased by 59.49% (P<0.05), superoxide dismutase concentration--decreased by 28.64% (P<0.05). The above mentioned changes show, that the treatment with Tecom medication, which consist of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids of animal origin does not stress peroxid antioxidant system, does not affect cell membrane stability, does not lead to progression of ischemic heart disease course.

[Effectiveness of the diet therapy program in patients with chronic renal failure].

The authors developed diets 7A and 7B with varying supply of low-protein food for different therapeutic institutions. Sixty-four four patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) received an experimental diet according to an individual program with regard to the stage, the clinical pattern of CRF and the patient's tolerance to protein. The diet was given after the patients had been kept on the control standard, low-protein, and high-caloric diet. After 3 to 10 weeks of the preset dietetic management the patients showed a considerable improvement in the well-being, an increase in the mean body weight accompanied by decreased edema, fat and hypertension. The time course of changes in the laboratory indicators attested to an improvement of nitrous, protein, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, a decrease in electrolyte abnormalities, acidosis, and anemia. The deficiency of essential amino acids in the blood remained unchanged, but their ratio to replaceable amino acids slightly increased, while loss with urine declined.

[The ultrastructural characteristics of the duodenal mucosa in peptic ulcer patients undergoing treatment with EHF-range electromagnetic radiation].

An effect was studied of electromagnetic radiation of the millimetric wave band (EHF EMR) on ultrastructural processes of the mucosa and healing of ulcer in 10 patients with duodenal ulcer. Biopsy specimens were taken from the base of the margin of the ulcer and in the area 1 cm from the margin of the ulcer defect before the treatment, after 5 and 10 sessions of EHF EMR to acupuncture points. EHF EMR was found to exert a stimulating effect on the processes of ulcer regeneration. Seen after session 5 are layers of proliferating poorly differentiated enterocytes, activation of immune and autoimmune processes, normalization of the hemomicrovessel endothelial cell structure, filling in the ulcer defect with a newly formed granulation tissue in which, among fibroblasts, macrophages, mast cells and lymphocytes, there prevail plasmic cells with an augmented secretion of immunoglobulins, increase in proliferation of epitheliocytes, with their differentiation slowing down, and a complete epithelialization of the ulcer following ten treatment procedures.
