[Sudden death--aspects of epidemiology and prophylaxis].

The survey of literature is presented from the last over ten years, pertinent to the ever present problem--sudden death. The paper presents mainly the problems of epidemiology, and the possibilities and methods of preventing sudden death, as well as the organizational activities increasing the chances of resuscitation of patients with sudden cardiac arrest.

Behavior of haptoglobin in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in chickens.

Concentration of haptoglobin (Hpc) in serum of chickens with inflammation and allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) was determined. Chickens with aseptic inflammatory state revealed 2.5 times higher concentration of Hpc while in the course of EAE only small increase was observed. Administration of immunomodulator--isoprinosine, resulted in elevation of Hpc level as compared to nontreated chickens.

Modulation of immunological reactivity in the course of allergic encephalomyelitis by isoprinosine.

It was observed that in the course of allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) in chickens. Isoprinosine reduced the production of the specific IgA and IgM antibodies against encephalic antigen. Its influence on IgG production was slight. It was also found that isoprinosine reduced the antitrypsine activity in EAE. Its effect upon the level of antibodies and biochemical indices of inflammation was particularly pronounced on days 28-35 after immunization, i.e. at the time of the most intensive microscopic inflammatory changes in the brain. Histological analysis revealed an inhibition of plasmatic cells reproduction in the spleens of chickens receiving isoprinosine. No effect of the drug on the GvH reaction in chickens was found.

Microheterogeneity of mammalian haptoglobins in isoelectric focusing.

1. Human haptoglobin type 1-1, porcine haptoglobin, and equine haptoglobin were isolated and purified. 2. These haptoglobins were similar in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and in subunit structure but showed microheterogeneity in isoelectric focusing. 3. Isoelectric points of human haptoglobin as determined with photopolymerized gels were found to be 4.03-4.24, of porcine haptoglobin 4.0-4.30, and of horse haptoglobin 3.80-4.15, respectively. 4. Results obtained with chemically polymerized gels were 0.08-0.3 pH units higher. 5. Examined haptoglobins differed also in the ability of complex formation with hemoglobin, in sialic acid content and in antigenic specificity.
