[State of autonomic regulation in patients with mitral valve prolapse and dysfunction of sinus node].

This study was made of 62 patients with idiopathic mitral prolapse, 17 patients with vagus sinus dysfunction and 8 patients with combination of the above disorders. Clinical, psychological and electrophysiological examinations revealed in all the patients psychovegetative syndrome with paroxysmal and permanent vegetative disorders, anxious-hypochondriacal and anxious-depressive conditions. Vegetative disorders were characterized by definite discoordination of vegetative regulation manifesting as hyperactivity of suprasegmental vegetative structures and insufficiency of both sympathetic and parasympathetic vegetative regulation.

[Characteristics of rate and time parameters in secondary changes in the ventricular repolarization period].

An analysis of the first electrocardiographic derivative in 48 patients with left-ventricular hypertrophy and complete block of the left limb of His bundle demonstrated a prolongation of myocardial excitation spread and increased rate of change in the difference of potentials during repolarization, the changes being more marked in patients with left-ventricular hypertrophy. In cases where left-ventricular hypertrophy was combined with coronary disease, the rate of change in the difference of potentials was reduced dramatically during repolarization.

[Sensitivity to chlorine-containing disinfectants of Salmonella typhi strains with transmissible drug resistance].

Sensitivity of 201 S. typhi strains to antibiotics and chlorine containing disinfectants was studied. The strains were isolated in the regions of the Left Bank Ukraine. Among the typhoid cultures the proportion of R+ strains was on the whole equal to 29.3 per cent. Chloramine resistant strains amounted to 21.8 per cent. Among chloramine resistant strains the number of the cultures carrying R plasmids was 3 times higher than that of the strains sensitive to disinfectant. Simultaneous transfer of the R plasmid and chloramine resistance to the recipient strain suggested that resistance of the S. typhi strains to chloramine was of plasmid nature.

[R plasmid distribution in S. typhi isolated on the territory of the left coast of the Ukraine in 1970-1982].

A total of 373 strains of S. typhi isolated in 1970-1982 were tested with respect to their sensitivity to 9 antibiotics active against gram-negative bacteria. It was shown that about 1/3 of the isolates were resistant to 1-3 antibiotics. Among the resistant isolates the number of strains resistant to 4-5 and more antibiotics amounted to 12.5 per cent. The plasmid nature of the antibiotic resistance in the isolated strains of S. typhi was shown. Transmissive R plasmids were detected in 13 per cent of the strains studied. Within the last 5 years there was an increase in the proportion of strains with transmissive R plasmids in patients with sporadic typhoid fever or especially in groups of patients with the disease.

[Level and nature of the drug resistance of Shigella flexneri].

Characteristics of antibiotic resistance of 300 strains of Shigella flexner 2a isolated from patients within 1976--1977 in the regions where these bacteria were very rare for a long period of time were studied. It was shown that most of the isolates were resistant to chloramphenicol (88.1 per cent), tetracycline (94.8 per cent), streptomycin (89.1 per cent), polymyxin M (82.4 per cent) and others. 46.5--61.6 per cent of the isolates were resistant to neomycin antibiotics. A high level of the resistance was also noted: the bactericidal effect was registered in 52.0-74.0 per cent of the cultures at a dose of 500--1000 microgram/ml. 91.4 per cent of the strains possessed multiple dug resistance, 78.8 per cent of them being simultaneously resistant to 4--7 drugs. Transmissive R-plasmids were found in 68.8 per cent of the isolates. After exposure to acridine dyes the plasmid nature of the resistance was confirmed in 72.3 per cent of the cultures. Variability of the r-determinant sets in r-plasmids was noted. Strains (64.9 per cent) carrying r-determinants Tc, Cm, Sm and Tc, Cm were more frequent. Strains with one transmissive r-determinant were usually solitary.

[Antibiotic sensitivity of S. typhi cultures that have reverted from L forms isolated from the blood of patients].

L-forms of bacteria were isolated in 18 out of 300 fever patients with diagnoses of typhoid-paratyphoid fever, grippe, virus respiration disease and others in the Diagnostic Department of an Infection Hospital during bacteriological tests of the blood. Among the cultures tested 13 were instable and reversed to the bacterial form. The type identification showed that only 9 revertants possessed properties characteristic of the typhoid fever microbes and belonged to S. typhi. Sensitivity of the typhoid fever revertants to levomycetin, sintomycin, streptomycin, pencillin and tetracycline was studied. The studies showed that the typhoid fever revertants from the L-forms isolated from the patients were sufficiently sensitive to levomycetin, sintomycin, penicillin and tetracycline. The minimum bactericidal concentrations of the above antibiotics ranged within 12.5--100 gamma/ml.
