Pathomorphological peculiarities of damage to hair cells of the organ of corti in experimental sensorineural hearing loss.

Pathomorphology of the organ of Corti was studied on models of acute and chronic sensorineural damage to the acoustic analyzer. Peculiarities of hair cell degeneration, necrosis, and apoptosis in the organ were studied by light and scanning electron microscopy. The type of pathomorphological substrate in abnormalities of the organ of Corti depends on the intensity of the destructive exposure, but not on the nature of otopathological factors.

Local neurotoxicity of epidural clofelin.

Morphological and quantitative histoenzymological changes in neurons of dog spinal cord and spinal ganglion were studied in acute and chronic experiments with epidural administration of 0.01% clofelin. No morphofunctional changes were revealed after bolus injection of clofelin in a single dose of 6.5 mg/kg. After administration of clofelin in a daily dose of 15 microg/kg for 14 days permeability of capillaries in the nervous tissue decreased at the site of injection, but increased in intact areas. Compensatory changes in energy supply to neurons manifested in activation of aerobic and anaerobic oxidation. Sufficient level of nucleic acids synthesis confirms qualitative validity of nervous cells. Epidural clofelin did not cause dystrophy and necrosis in neurons of the spinal and spinal ganglion.

Morphofunctional changes in spinal cord neurons after epidural lidocaine.

Morphofunctional and histoenzymological changes in spinal cord neurons of mongrel dogs were studied after epidural administration of isobaric 2% lidocaine solution. Control animals received epidural 0.9% sodium chloride. The results obtained from these studies provide evidence for the absence of pathological structural-metabolic changes in nerve tissue after treatment with lidocaine. The occurrence of certain morphofunctional rearrangements in spinal cord neurons were typical of animals of both the experimental and control groups. The changes recorded varied within the limits of physiological variation and provided evidence predominantly of the functional response of these nerve tissue structures to epidural injections of both sodium chloride and lidocaine.

[Morphological and functional changes in spinal ganglion neurons after epidural clopheline administration].

The aim of this chronic experimental study performed in 16 dogs was to determine the effect of epidural infusion of 0.01% clopheline solution on the morphological and histoenzymological characteristics of spinal ganglion neurons. Daily infusions of clopheline at the dose of 15 mg/kg for 14 days caused a decrease in capillary permeability in the spinal ganglia at the injection site and its increase in the intact areas. This finding suggests the changes in the activity of the microcirculatory bed with a disturbed interaction in capillary-neuron system. Analysis of morphometric parameters has demonstrated the presence of some functional and reversible dystrophic changes in spinal ganglion neurons, which were associated with epidural infusion of both clopheline and isotonic solution of sodium chloride. Determination of the activity of oxidation-reduction enzymes, which reflect the course of aerobic and anaerobic processes in spinal ganglion neurons, has shown no significant differences between the groups of animals infused with or isotonic solution of sodium chloride. In conditions of chronic experiment no significant variations were found in RNA content in ganglionic cells at and outside the sites of infusion of clopheline and of isotonic solution of sodium chloride.

[Local neurotoxicity of isobaric 2% solution of lidocaine at epidural administration].

The morphological and histoenzymological changes in the spinal neurons and spinal ganglia of dogs were analyzed after epidural administration of a 2% solution of lidocaine in acute and chronic experiments. In the control group the animals were given epidural infusions of 0.9% saline. The results obtained have shown the absence of pathological structural and metabolic changes in the nervous tissue after lidocaine injection. Certain signs of morpho-functional reorganization were noted in the spinal neurons of animals in both experimental and control groups. The registered changes were found to vary within the physiological fluctuation limits and are rather indicative of the functional reaction of the nervous tissue structures in question to the epidural injections of either saline or lidocaine.

[Morpho-functional changes of the spinal cord neurons after epidural administration of lidocaine].

The analysis of morphological and histoezymological changes of spinal cord neurons has been performed in outbred dogs following epidural infusion of isobaric 2% lidocaine solution. In the control group the animals received epidural infusion of 0.9% saline. The results obtained indicate the absence of pathological structural and metabolic changes in the nervous tissue after lidocaine application. Certain signs of morpho-functional reorganization were noted in spinal cord neurons of animals in both experimental and control groups. The registered changes were found to vary within the physiological fluctuation limits and are rather indicative of the functional reaction of the studied structures of the nervous tissue to the epidural injections of either saline and lidocaine.

Protective effect of calcium channel blocker verapamil on morphological and functional state of hair cells of the organ of corti in experimental kanamycin-induced ototoxicity.

The protective effect of verapamil against acute ototoxic sensorineural damage produced by intraperitoneal injections of kanamycin (50 mg/kg daily for 14 day) was studied on rats. The functional (otoacoustic emission), histological, and physiological methods proved the protective effect of daily injections of calcium channel blocker verapamil (2 mg/kg) on the state of hair cells of the organ of Corti.

Effect of epidural infusion of isobaric 2% lidocaine on spinal cord ganglionic neurons.

We analyzed morphological and histoenzymologic changes in spinal cord ganglionic neurons of mongrel dogs caused by epidural infusion of isobaric 2% lidocaine. Lidocaine produced no pathological structural and metabolic alterations in the nervous tissue. Both epidural infusion of 0.9% NaCl and lidocaine produced some morphofunctional rearrangements in spinal ganglionic neurons. These alterations were within the limits of physiological norm and probably attested to functional response of the examined nerve tissue structures to epidural infusion.

Effect of epidural injection of prosidol with clonidine on the state of spinal cord and spinal ganglion.

Morphological and histoenzymatic changes in cells of the spinal cord and spinal ganglia after epidural injection of a combination of prosidol with clonidine were studied on dogs. No pathological structural and metabolic changes in the nervous tissue were found after combined treatment with the test drugs. Higher activity of nucleic acids and alkaline phosphatase in spinal neurons and spinal ganglion in experimental animals in comparison with those in controls indicates intensification of protein synthesis and active transport in the endothelium of nerve tissue capillaries, which is a favorable factor.

[Changes in enzyme activity in postoperative myocardial biopsy samples after surgical correction of late-stage rheumatic heart defects].

A direct statistically reliable correction of decrease of the enzymes with the initial state of the patients has been established in an analysis of 25 patients aged from 18 to 60 years in prosthesis of+ the mitral valve (n-9) and closed mitral commissurotomy (n-16). The enzyme activity after prosthesis of+ the mitral valve was twice lower that after closed commissurotomy. Activity of ATP-ase of myofibrils proved to be most sensitive to negative factors of operation.

[Identification of type-II alveolocytes in cryostatic sections of human lungs].

The tannic acid-polychromic stain method (Mason et al., 1985) designed for the identification of the cultured alveolar type II cells has been adapted to cryostat sections of human lungs. Both biopsy and autopsy specimens obtained within one hour post mortem could be effectively processed with this method to visualize at the light microscope level the lamellar bodies, i.e. characteristic intracellular inclusions of alveolar type II cells.

[Morphofunctional characteristics of the alveolar epithelium and alveolar macrophages in chronic bronchitis].

Quantitative histoenzymatic determination based on early autopsy material was introduced for evaluation of oxidoreductase and hydrolytic enzymes activity in alveolar macrophages (AM) and alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) of the lungs in chronic catarrhal (CC) and chronic purulent (CP) bronchitis with bronchopneumonia development in sites other than acute inflammatory lesions. AM hydrolase hypoactivity was recorded in both CC and CP bronchitis, whereas inhibition of dehydrogenase activity stood out in CP bronchitis along with disturbed activity of the key enzymes of energy and carbohydrate metabolism in AEC. Characteristic features were elucidated for relationships between the cells of the alveolar lining in various forms of chronic bronchitis. The findings suggest a conclusion on inhibited activity of AM in chronic bronchitis.
