[Pathophysiology of hypercapnia].

Hypercapnia occurs rather often in clinic as an obvious determinant of gas exchange compromise. The causes of this phenomenon observed while general anesthesia, especially with the use of endotracheal intubation, may depend on the skill of anesthetist as well as type and condition of the equipment used. Maintaining adequate ventilation may be also difficult due to some central nervous system and respiratory tract ailments. The advantageous and adverse consequences of high paCO2 affecting the whole organism and particular organs were discussed in the work.

Anesthesiology

[Pincoffs-Bard's syndrome in a 15-year old girl].

A case of primary stomach carcinoma (or Pincoff's-Bard syndrome) with extensive radiologic shadows on chest X-ray and clinical signs of respiratory failure has been presented. The case concerned a 15-year-old girl being diagnosed in several hospital because of pulmonary lesions. The diagnosis was made on a basis of the autopsy.

[Brain barriers. Part II. Blood/cerebrospinal fluid barrier and cerebrospinal fluid /brain tissue barrier].

Brain has its own unique and effective protection system that controls the process of active transport of chemical substances from blood to neurons and cerebrospinal fluid. The above mentioned system is called the blood brain barrier. As far as morphology is concerned the barrier consists of several membranes isolating the following compartments of the intracranial space: brain tissues, blood and cerebrospinal fluids. One of those membranes-blood/brain tissues barrier, has been described in the first part of this work. Structure and function of the blood/CSF barrier and CSF/brain tissues barrier are described in the second part.

Blood-Brain Barrier

[Brain barriers. Part I. Blood-brain tissue barrier].

Brain barriers are morphological and functional structures responsible for selective transport of different biological substances between blood and brain. There are three kinds of brain barriers: blood/brain tissue barrier, blood/brain fluid barrier and brain fluid/brain tissue barrier. The blood/brain tissue barrier which consists of brain vascular epithelial cells is thought to play the main role in intracranial homeostasis.
