[Fasting diet therapy in gastrointestinal tract diseases].

The article is devoted to an effective not medicamentous method of therapy--to the medical starvation. Indications and contra-indications to carrying out of medical starvation are given. Own results of use of medical starvation are resulted at diseases of bodies of digestion. Practical recommendations on applications of medical starvation for patients with diseases of bodies of a gastroenteric path are submitted.

[Activity of afferent neurons after thermal stimulation of the skin of the cat forelimb]. / Aktivnost' afferentov pri temperaturnykh vozdeistviiakh na kozhu perednei konechnosti koshki.

The activity of 97 fibers of dorsal roots of lower cervical and upper thoracic segments of the spinal cord was studied in adult cats. The conduction velocity of afferents from skin receptors in respect to mechanical and temperature sensitivity was measured. All temperature-sensitive units appeared to be mechano-sensitive as well. The level of spontaneous activity and the conduction velocity of the units were defined by temperature sensitivity. The reaction parameters seem to depend on morphological properties of the skin receptors.

[Localization of temperature-sensitive and non-temperature-sensitive cutaneous receptors in the forelimb of the cat]. / Lokalizatsiia retseptorov kozhi perednei lapy koshki, reagiruiushchikh i ne reagiruiushchikh na temperaturnoe vozdeistvie.

87 afferent fibres in dorsal roots of lower cervical and upper thoracal segments of the spinal cord and their responses to thermal and mechanical stimulation of skin receptors were studied in adult cats. Higher conduction velocities and larger fibre diameters were found for receptors located more distally in the forepaw skin. The location of the receptive fields of thermosensitive and nonthermosensitive units is different.
