[Effect of hydantoins on urinary excretion of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid].

The investigations were carried out in 10 patients with epileptic seizures. The obtained results were compared with those in a control group of 20 healthy subjects. The 24-hour urinary excretion of 5-HIAA efore hydantoinal and on the 1st, 2dn and 3rd days of hydantoinal administration was determined by the method of Udenfried et al. as modified by McFarlane et al. It was found that healthy subjects excreted significantly more 5-HIAA before and after hydantoinal load. Administration of this drug increased significantly the excretion of this metabolite with urine, in healthy subjects but in epileptics it had no significant effect on 5-HIAA level in 24-hour urine.

[Lipoprotein lipase in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid of patients with multiple sclerosis].

The authors determined the activity of lipoprotein lipase in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid in 25 patients with exacerbation of multiple sclerosis and in 20 controls. A significant decrease in the activity of the enzyme was found in blood of the patients, while only trace activity was detected in the cerebrospinal fluid in both groups. The significant decrease of lipoprotein lipase activity in blood of patients the with multiple sclerosis requires further investigations.

[Levels of ammonia in patients with stroke].

The authors determined peripheral-blood ammonia level in patients with cerebral strokes. The determinations were done by the method of Konitzer et al. on the 1st, 3rd and 7th days of the disease. The results of determinations were subjected to statistical analysis with the t test of Student. It was found that the mean serum ammonia level in patients with cerebral stroke on the 1st day of the disease was higher than in the control group. The difference was statistically significant. The level of ammonia in the blood of patients with cerebral haemorrhage was significantly higher on the 1st day of the disease than in patients with encephalomalacia. The difference was statistically significant with error probability of 0.05.
