[Biosynthesis of prostaglandins E2 and F2a by lung tissue in hypoxia and hyperthermia]. / Biosintez prostaglandinov E2 and F2a v tkaniiakh legkikh v usloviiakh gipoksii i gipertermii.

Effect of a hypoxia and hyperthermia on endogenous biosynthesis of prostaglandins E2 and F2 alpha by tissues of lungs was studied. The effect of high temperature (43 degrees C-45 degrees C during I hour) and tissue hypoxemia by, exposition in an atmosphere with carbon monoxide, stimulated rise of formation of derivative of prostaglandins in the right and left lung: PGF2 alpha in 1.2-2.6, and PG E2-in 1.48-2.7 times accordingly. The parity between prostaglandins after experiment remained same, as well as in control group. The increase of a level of biosynthesis of investigated prostaglandins had more expressed character in a right lung, than in left. The reasons, leading to such significant growth of amounts of prostaglandins can be a few. One of them--it, apparently, growth of an amount of substrates for a phospholipase A2 and cyclooxygenase, as to for want of given temperature of a body is sharply increased a state of fluidity of membranes, leading to violation stability of membrane of phospholipids and further their destruction. Second--possible increase of activity of enzymes, leading to derivation of eicosanoids-cyclooxygenase and (or) of the phospholipase A2, leading to mobilization of an arachidonic acid from phospholipids of membranes. In a tissue of lungs after the hyperthermia and hypoxemia the decrease of amount of c-AMP on a background of c-GMP amount growth in the right and in the left lung was observed. For want of than, described above legitimacy was saved, in which the amount c-AMP in a right lung prevails over left. During realization of experiment interesting legitimacy-process, leading to growth the contents PG E2 was detected, also conducted to decrease of an amount c-AMP. The reduction of an amount c-AMP is possible, apparently, to explain the cell destruction, as heating in these parameters stimulates the cell apoptosis development, which conducts to reduction of an amount c-AMP inside a cell.

[Change in prostanoid metabolism in cystic kidney lesion]. / Izmenenie metabolizma prostanoidov pri kistoznom porazhenii pochek.

A wide range of renal prostaglandins in cysts has been studied as compared with their content in the daily urine, activity of plasma renin, level of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) in the tissues, methionine enkephalin and aldosterone. High activity of renin, met-enkephalin and ACTH was observed in the patients with one cyst. Under renal polycystosis the activity of plasma renin is higher and the amount of ACTH positively decreases. The comparison of prostanoids content in the cystic fluid of a single cyst and polycystic one demonstrates that the polycystic level of all prostanoids in the punctate increase 2-3 times.
