[Comparative assessment of temperature of the myocardium during its protection by 2 methods in aortocoronary bypass]. / Sravnitel'naia otsenka temperatury miokarda pri ispol'zovanii dvukh metodov ego zashchity pri operatsiiakh aortokoronarnogo shuntirovaniia.

Eighty-eight patients operated on for coronary heart disease were examined. Continuous irrigation of pericardial cavity with circulating cold solution in combination with antegrade cardioplegia was used in 53 patients, antegrade cardioplegia with external cooling of the heart by icy mass in the rest 35. Intensive external cooling provided a stable temperature of the myocardium during clamping of the aorta.

[The modulation of postural asymmetry in recipient animals under the influence of the cerebrospinal fluid from patients with manic-depressive psychosis]. / Moduliatsiia poznoi asimmetrii u zhivotnykh-retsipientov pod vliianiem tserebrospinal'noi zhidkosti bol'nykh maniakal'no-depressivnym psikhozom.

Suboccipital administration of cerebrospinal fluid of patients with affective disorders elicits a pose asymmetry in rats-recipients; the character of the pose asymmetry depends on the phase of donor's disease: cerebrospinal fluid of manic patients elicits a relative flexion of the right posterior limb, of depressive patients--a relative flexion of the left posterior limb. High-molecular and low-molecular fractions of the cerebrospinal fluid were active, trypsin treatment led to disappearance of the effect. The results suggest a significant role of protein components of the cerebrospinal fluid in the organization of the symptom of functional asymmetry of the central nervous system under affective disorders.
