[Carbohydrate tolerance and intracellular sodium concentration in rabbits with dietary hypercholesterolemia].

The transport of sodium ions and glucose is a specialized membrane function. Variations in the cholesterol content of the cell membrane influence these functions. The influence of a hypercholesterolemia upon the intracellular sodium concentration and the glucose tolerance was investigated in cholesterol/rape oil and in cholesterol fed rabbits. The cholesterol/rape oil fed rabbits had lower KG-values and higher peripheral insulin levels than the control animals. The Na+Ery was decreased after 12 weeks of hypercholesterolemia. The na+Muscle was not changed. A negative correlation was found between the KG-value and the Na+Ery (Na+Muscle) in normal rabbits. In the hypercholesterolemic rabbits existed a negative correlation between the KG-value and the Na+Muscle and a positive correlation between the KG-value and the Na+Ery. It was postulated that membrane functions determined these correlations.

Hyperbaric oxygen in acute ischaemia due to allergic vasculitis.

A case of a child with allergic vasculitis to penicillin is presented. The patient received successful treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. The pathophysiological mechanism of acute peripheral anoxia and the infleunce of HBO treatment on it is described.
