[The adhesion of pathogenic microflora on carbon sorbents]. / Adgeziia patogennoi mikroflory na uglerodnykh sorbentakh.

The adsorbing activity of granulated carbonic sorbents SKN and KAU, as well as their oxidated forms, containing protogenic carboxylic and phenolic groups with respect to Shigella flexneri, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa pathogenic strains has been studied. As shown in this study, the process of interaction between microorganisms and carbonic sorbents has two stages. At the first stage the main role is played by long-distance electrostatic forces and at the second stage, by Van der Waals short-distance forces, as well as bonds formed between cell structures and surface groupings of carbonaceous materials. In the mechanism of interaction between microbial cells and carbons the geometry of carbon surface plays an important role. KAU(0)-1 exhibits the highest degree of adhesion with respect to pathogenic bacteria.

To give sorbents the bactericidal action, a modification of the carbonic sorbents by the metals is suggested. Modification of the SKN and KAU sorbents by copper and zinc didn't reduce sorption by them of microorganisms and their toxins. Inhibitory effect of a sorbent was provided by the lower concentrations of the copper and zinc than by those which in the solution of metallic salts had only bacteriostatic effect.

The use of SKN P-1 and SKN P-2 carbonic enterosorbents in the complex treatment of the patients contributed to decrease in pronouncement of cholemic intoxication. A method is easy, noninvasive, its use is recommended in patients, the elderly and senile in particular, with obstructive jaundice.

In the experiments on rats with modelled bile duct obstruction and hepatic failure, the pronounced detoxicative value of the SKN P-1 and SKN P-2 carbonic sorbents is proved.

[Physiological assessment of the method of autohemoperfusion through activated carbon]. / Fiziologicheskaia otsenka metoda autogemoperfuzii cherez aktivirovannyi ugol'.

The results of study of the sorption properties of phenolformaldehide-activated coal in respect of several physiologically active substances from the physiological saline under static conditoins and under conditions of autohemoperfusion of the limb vessels in experimental animals are presented. Phenolformaldehide-activated coal proved to sorb actively serotonin, adrenaline and noradrenaline, and--to a lesser extent--histamine from physiological saline. Serotonin, adrenaline, noradrenaline, and acetylcholine are sorbed well, histamine--less, papaverine--very weakly from the flowing blood. No alteration of the systemic arterial blood pressure was noted with the inclusion of phenolformaldehide-activated coal into the animal's arterial circulation; a fall of perfusion pressure associated with the decreased vascular resistance occured in a number of cases.
