The relationship between plasma triglycerides, cholesterol, total lipids and lipid peroxidation products during human atherosclerosis.

Concentrations of plasma triglycerides, cholesterol, total lipids and lipid peroxides in patients with atherosclerotic lesions of peripheral arteries, who were divided into groups according to the extent and intensity of the lesions, were estimated, as well as lipid peroxide levels in the arterial wall. Statistically highly significant increases of the estimated compounds were found in all groups in comparison with the controls. The existence of a positive correlation between the lipid peroxide concentration and other investigated components in plasma and between the lipid peroxide level in plasma and in the arterial wall was found. Possible mechanisms for lipid peroxide involvement in the process of originating atherosclerotic lesions are discussed.

Adult

[Perineal topometry of male newborn infants in the surgical treatment of anal and rectal defects].

The aim of this work was to designate the place of the anus on the perineum with topometric method. The examinations were carried out on 100 healthy male newborns, born in time. Five basic diameters of perineum were determined: anal-symphyseal distance, anal-phallic, anal-scrotal distance, anal-coccygeal distance and transversal dimension of perineum. The material was examined taking into consideration body weight, body length and weight-growth index. Dimensions of perineum most useful to pointing out the location of the anus in case of impotency are: anal-coccygeal distance and anal-scrotal distance. The above dimensions show the greatest relation to male newborns weight.

Anthropometry

Crystallization of human oxyhaemoglobin from poly(ethylene glycol) solutions.

Crystals of human oxyhaemoglobin were obtained from poly(ethylene glycol) solutions. Spectroscopic and spectrophotometric measurements on the solutions during crystallization and on the dissolved crystals indicate that the method yields stable crystals of oxyhaemoglobin. Preliminary X-ray studies showed that the crystals obtained are isomorphous with those of deoxyhaemoglobin obtained from poly(ethylene glycol) solutions [Ward, Wishner, Lattman & Love (1975) J. Mol. Biol. 98, 161-177].
