Dysfunction of membrane-receptor system of blood cells and kidney tissue in experimental diabetes mellitus.

The effect of streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus on some parameters of energy metabolism and functional status of cell membranes was studied in experiments on rats. It was found that the development of diabetes mellitus is associated with dramatic changes in the metabolism of blood cells and kidney tissue: inhibition of aerobic ATP synthesis, accumulation of lactate, uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation, and development of lactic acidosis. Diabetes mellitus leads to restructuring of membrane lipids, changes in microviscosity, and suppression of insulin receptors and membrane-bound Na(+), K(+)-ATPase, and Ca(2+)-ATPase. Sharply increased levels of LPO products and lactic acidosis during DM indicate an imbalance in the LPO-antioxidant system and development of oxidative stress.

[Disfunction of membrane-receptor system of blood cells in children with diabetes mellitus of type I and II].

When metabolic failure in children and adolescents with diabetes, are violations of the structural and functional properties of membrane - the receptor apparatus of cells, accompanied by a decrease in ATP levels, inhibition of activity of membrane-bound enzyme Na+, K(+)-ATPase, a sharp decrease in insulin binding receptor activity and decrease glucose uptake by cells that indicates a decline in cell sensitivity to insulin. Diabetes in children and adolescents occurs with lipid disorders, activation of the processes of lipid peroxidation, manifested increasing concentrations of both primary and secondary products of lipid peroxidation, changes in structural and functional properties of erythrocyte membranes, as well as disturbances in the antioxidant defense system. Changes in the studied indexes depend on the type of diabetes and duration of the disease. Imbalance in the system LPO-AOD in the background shows the development of dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, particularly pronounced in type 2 diabetes.

[Correction of metabolic disorders by magnetic-laser irradiation (experimental study)]. / Korrektsiia metabolicheskikh narushenii magnitolazernym oblucheniem (éksperimental'noe issledovanie).

Five series of experiments were conducted on a model of hepatic insufficiency caused by obstructive jaundice to study the effect of semiconductor infrared laser in a range of 800-900 nm with a static magnetic field on some metabolic changes in the organism. Wistar rats weighing 200-250 g were used. The region of the liver was irradiated through an intact epilated skin. The results provide evidence that a definite role in the pathogenesis of hepatic insufficiency is played by intensification of LPO processes and diminution of antioxidant defence which leads, in turn, to reduction of the insulin-receptor interrelations and sharp decrease of hepatic cell metabolism.

[The possibility of correcting metabolic disorders in experimental liver cirrhosis by cryodestruction and plasma-flow resection]. / Vozmozhnost' korrektsii metabolicheskikh narushenii pri éksperimental'nom tsirroze pecheni metodom kriodestruktsii i rezektsi plazmennym potokom.

The first week after the cryodestruction, the resection of plasma flow and combined effect of the two methods causes metabolic changes, which later according to observations are normalized. The metabolic disturbances, which are connected with experimental liver cirrhosis under the combined cryodestructive effect and plasma flow resection are normalized three weeks after treatment. But there is no elimination of defects of free radical oxidation and there remains a decreased insulin binding capability of lymphocytes. All these processes should be taken into account in surgical treatment of liver cirrhosis.

[State of insulin receptors and carbohydrate metabolism in children with diabetes mellitus]. / Sostoianie insulinovykh retseptorov i uglevodnogo obmena u detei, bol'nykh sakharnym diabetom.

Diabetes mellitus children demonstrate the lowering of insulin binding by lymphocytes on appearance of the signs of insulin overdosage. After standard breakfast preceded by insulin injection such patients show a lower blood content of ATP as compared to children without metabolic signs of insulin overdosage, which may be of importance in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance development. Patients with type I diabetes mellitus and hyperlactatemia manifested the lowering of glucose assimilation by lymphocytes whatever the presence of the signs of insulin overdosage, pointing to insulin resistance.

The local application of plasma flow to postsurgery wounds in rabbits has revealed accelerated wound healing, reduced perifocal inflammation, the appearance of great numbers of phagocytes and islands of epithelial cells in the wound and certain stimulation of hemopoietic body function. The suppression of free-radical oxidation was accompanied by the activation of the metabolic processes. All this justifies an attempt to apply "plasma methods" in the clinical practice for the treatment of long-healing wounds.

[Relationship of the reticulo-plasmocytic reaction of the bone marrow and serum hypergammaglobulinemia when tetracycline is administered to rabbits]. / O sviazi retikulo-plazmotsitarmnoi reaktsii kostnogo mozga i gipergammaglobulinemii syvorotki krovi pri vvedenii tetratsiklina krolikam

Administration of tetracycline to rabbits in doses of 10 and 40 mg/kg induced hyperplasia of the reticulo-plasmic tissue of the bone marrow correlating with increased levels of gammaglobulins in the blood serum. The pronounced reticulo-plasmocytal reaction of the bone marrow must be considered as manifestation of hyperplasia of the whole reticulo-histiocytal system of the host with impairement of differentiation of the reticular syncytium of the bone marrow.
