ABSTRACT
The effect of p-tyrosol on the main hemodynamic parameters and contractile function of the heart was studied and a morphometric assessment of left-ventricular remodeling was performed in Wistar rats 2 months after acute 1-h myocardial ischemia followed by reperfusion. p-Tyrosol in a dose of 20 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally 5 times: 20 min before the start of reperfusion, 4 h after the start of reperfusion, and then once a day over the next 3 days. Administration of p-tyrosol to animals in the acute period of myocardial infarction slowed down the formation of systolic and diastolic myocardial dysfunction, improved the pumping function of the heart, maintained the hemodynamic parameters at a significantly higher level, and reduced left-ventricular remodeling in the late period of myocardial infarction. In 2 months after acute myocardial ischemia modeling, the dimensions of the left-ventricular cavity, the area of the postinfarction focus, and the area of connective tissue in rats treated with p-tyrosol were significantly lower than in the control group. In the group treated with p-tyrosol, no anterior left-ventricular wall aneurysms were found.

2,6-Diisobornyl-4-methylphenol (Dibornol, 10 mg/kg intragastrically daily for 5 days after myocardial ischemia/reperfusion) 1.5-fold increased rat survival during the acute post-infarction period in comparison with the control group. In survivors, Dibornol reliably prevented post-ischemic progression of heart failure in the delayed post-infarction period (30 days after ischemia/reperfusion), which was seen from an increase in the left-ventricular developed pressure by 22%, left-ventricular contractility index by 19%, and +dP/dt by 34%. Left-ventricular end-diastolic pressure was by 39% lower than in control animals. Morphological study of heart sections from control group animals showed that Dibornol reduced the area of post-ischemic myocardial damage in the delayed period after ischemia/reperfusion to 3±1% (vs 18±2% in the control group).

We propose a modification to rat model of transient global cerebral ischemia with four-vessel occlusion avoiding pneumothorax and minimizing the consequences of surgery. Survival and neurological deficit in rats in this model was studied over 5 days.

The article presents the results of analysis of fatty acids and fatty aldehydes of plasma and blood erythrocytes in patients with the syndrome of multiple organ failure. The increase of relative level of mono-unsaturated fatty acids and decrease of poly-saturated fatty acids and saturated stearic acid in blood plasma is demonstrated. The reliable alterations in erythrocytes concerning the content of saturated palmitic and poly-saturated linoleic fatty acids are detected. In patients with multiple organ failure the decrease of level of fatty aldehydes and cholesterol in blood plasma is established too. The conclusion is made about significant role of mono non-saturated fatty acids in disorders of systemic haemodynamics and evaluation of degree of disorder of lipid metabolism between cells and blood plasma lipoproteins.
