The comparative morphology of the muscle tissues and changes in constituents in the pig types.

The authors have revealed the main value characteristics of pork production by testing in five different types of pig the volume of contractile and collagen proteins, that of proteoglycans, the constituents of blood and the enzymes of the blood plasma. The contractile proteins of the muscle tissues basically determine the quality of pork. The same applies to the water retention capacity, colloidal characteristics and glycogen content of meat. The amount of contractile proteins has decreased in the best meat producing types of pig. Parallel with the decrease of white meat, and with the increase in the volume of ham, chop and chuck the contractile protein content of muscles decreased. The scientific fact according to which there is a certain correlation among the changes in the volume of contractile proteins, blood sugar level, blood serum CPK and the intensity of activity of the LDH enzymes promotes the qualifying of live animals and the work of the geneticists aiming at the increasing of the contractile protein content of the muscle tissues of pigs by selection. According to tests carried out by us the primary cause of PSE changes is a decreased volume of contractile proteins. Increased stress sensitivity and all the other factors have but a secondary importance and are all consequential. The decrease in the quantity of contractile proteins or--it is better to put it this way--the lack of the proper amount of such proteins characterizing a fully developed pig's organism is caused by the nowadays usual breeding technologies and can be well explained by those selection activities which aim at a one-sided kind of pork production.

[Classification of polytraumatized patients, experience with the ISS system].

Authors assessed the process of healing of 161 polytraumatized patients from 1976- to 1987, treated intersively, using the ISS system. Mortality was 27 per cent. Independently from the ISS system the concomittant shock foretold invariably a bad prognosis, although this was also joined generally to a big point number. The ISS system is simple and characterized the degree of the injury well. Through it, it will be possible to measure the gravity of the injury, to estimate statistically the prognosis and to compare the different materials. The number of points in the ISS system shows a good correlation with the survival (death) and the length of the intensive treatment. No patient was lost below 28 points whereas over 49 only 2 have survived. The point value may give information only up to the level of statistical probability concerning the prognosis (or the activity of the treatment) of the single patients. Because of its simplicity, its wide spreading and good practical use the general introduction of the ISS point system, as basic system, is thought to be advisable. For a more accurate judging a further making better and completing of the system (age, conjoined diseases, factors influencing each other mutually) further of the use, if necessary, of the scores applied in accident surgery and intensive therapy seems to be suggested.
