Dynamics of insulin secretion in dogs with alloxan diabetes]

It was shown that hypoinsulinemia in the superior pancratico-duodenal vein and inhibition of the first phase of insulin secretion by the pancreas characteristic of alloxan diabetes of different severity was absent in the femoral vein. The data obtained in the insulin and glucose concentration study in the superior pancreatico-duodenal vein stressed the leading role of the pancreatic factor in the pathogenesis of alloxan diabetes in dogs. Analysis of these parameters in the peripheral femoral vein failed to reflect this statement adequately.     

The use of venous allografts in vascular surgery

Biochemical, morphological and biomechanic study of various veins which were taken from 54 patients without trophic disorders during phlebectomy and kept for 7 days was made. 2% solution of neutral formalin and isotonic buffer solution (Henx solution) was used; results of the study show, that conserved veins can be used for grafting in arterial reconstructive surgery in cases of absence of autogenous vein material. Optimal period of conservation is 1 day.     

The rate of isolation of fungi in the genus Candida from the nasopharyngeal mucosa of the those in contact with the products from microbial protein manufacture]

In the mycological study of the air in working rooms at enterprises for the production of paprin and in the airspace of residential areas, as well as the study of the fungal contamination of the upper respiratory ways in workers and residents of the development zone, the isolation rate of the production fungal strains of the genus Candida from the nasopharynx was shown to depend on their content in the air. In the absence of producer microorganisms in the atmospheric air they were not detected among the population. The detection of yeast-like fungi of the genus Candida on the pharyngeal mucosa is of sanitary demonstrative importance for the evaluation of the specific microbial contamination of the air in working rooms and the air space of the development zone. When the stable work of gas purification systems was ensured at modern enterprises for the production of protein vitamin concentrate no production strains were detected in the atmospheric air of the development zone and on the nasopharyngeal mucosa of the residents, which was indicative of the absence of any influence of gas and air discharges from these enterprises on the microbial contamination of the airspace.
