Abstract: | An attempt to treat critically the key methodological positions of modern biochemistry, primarily, the medical biochemistry with reference to the physiologic, pathophysiologic and clinical tasks is made. The author puts forward questions: 1) if it is possible to apply traditional approaches (principles) of biochemical investigation developed on purified systems to the whole organism systems in situ and etc.; 2) if it coincides the methodical approaches of biochemistry on the one hand and physiology (pathophysiology)--on the other one, considering the mechanisms of disease development and correspondingly the assessment and choice of therapeutic methods; 3) if there exists a necessity to create a unite methodology of biochemical and physiologic knowledge as a basis of modern medical science as a whole. Some examples showing the possible ways of new methodic consideration of traditional conceptions of in vitro biochemistry are given. |
