[Clinical experience in using tents in oxygen-drug inhalation]. / Klinicheskii opyt ispol'zovaniia palatki dlia kislorodo-lekarstvennoi ingaliatsii.

The contributors display their experience in the clinical application of tents for oxygen-drug therapy, aerosol prophylaxis and treatment purposes, and advocate the evident advantages of the method: a combined therapeutic action of oxygen and aerosols, the healing properties of the sprayer-produced negative ions, portability and easiness in handling the tent, possibility of its ready-to-use prophylactic and therapeutic purposes. Clinical trials were made in 2 groups of patients with respiratory and cardio-vascular disorders, which proved both therapeutic and technical effectiveness of the method to be recommended for wide use in medical posts of enterprises.

[Combination of lipid gas and thin-layer chromatography in the diagnosis of functional hepatic failure]. / Sochetannaia gazovaia i tonkosloinaia khromatografiia lipidov v diagnostike funktsional'noi nedostatochnosti pecheni.

Gas chromatography of total lipids from blood serum exhibits about 40% error in diagnosis of liver functional insufficiency. Combination of gas chromatography with quantitative thin-layer chromatography and subsequent gas chromatographic analysis of the lipid fractions obtained enabled to increase by 25% the efficiency of diagnoses not only of icteric but also of non-icteric forms of liver functional insufficiency. Simultaneous gas- thin-layer chromatographic analysis of total lipids will apparently improve the differential diagnosis of diseases accompanied by liver functional insufficiency; it permits also to study pathogenesis of impairments in lipid metabolism under conditions of liver functional insufficiency and of other pathologies.
