[Use of lactusan for the correction of microecological intestinal disturbances in children].

The study demonstrated that lactusan (lactulose) could be used as an effective remedy in dysbacteriosis. Twenty four sick children aged 1 month to 15 years were examined. Administration of lactusan to 21 patients resulted in perceptible improvement of clinical symptoms, mainly to the cessation of diarrhea. In 14 children an increase in the population level of bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria and a decrease in the number of opportunistic microorganisms were observed. Lactulose should be referred to prebiotics.

[A method of determining the sensitivity of urinary microflora to antibacterial drugs].

A method has been developed for speedy determination of urinary microflora sensitivity to antibacterial drugs, which differs from other existing techniques by its simplicity and rapid realization. It is based on the capacity of micro-organisms as an aggregate of particles with a refraction coefficient, different from that of the environment, to increase its optic density by multiplication in a liquid nutrient medium in conditions of unlimited nutrition and space. Thus, increased optic density of a urinary specimen with an added antibacterial agent during incubation in a thermostat would indicate an increased count of micro-organism in the medium, i.e. the lack of sensitivity to the antibiotic in question. Optic density being unchanged under such conditions is evidence of the death (lack of growth) of the micro-organism population and, hence, its sensitivity to the anti-bacterial drug being assessed. The ultimate results being obtainable within 2 to 6 hrs and little effort involved are the advantages of this method over conventional techniques of the determination of urinary flora sensitivity to antibacterial drugs that are in current clinical use. Besides, adequate antibacterial treatment can already be initiated within the first day of admission where this test is used.

[Membrane-destabilizing processes as the universal basis of inflammation].

It is established that active pyelonephritis and operative stress are accompanied with structural and functional changes in erythrocytic membranes: cholesterol and its ethers rose in quantity as well as difficulty oxidized phospholipids, cation adenosine triphosphatase activity changed. Being nonspecific, these changes seemed more pronounced in the active phase of chronic pyelonephritis. Minor structural rearrangement of membrane lipids in surgical patients indicated uneventful postoperative period. It is suggested that bacterial inflammation in the kidneys and urinary tracts may be related to the above shifts. The adjuvant use of dimephosphone produced a clear-cut membrane-stabilizing effect clinically reflected by reduced inflammation and improved renal function.

[Disorders of kidney function in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia].

The examination of 648 males aged 50 to 86 to conduct an early outpatient detection of renal dysfunction in the elderly men employed an original technique of renal function assessment based on the kinetics of urinary 5-NOK elimination. Renal dysfunctions were revealed in 165 patients, in 159 of them the underlying cause was benign prostatic hyperplasia. The results were compared with those obtained at radionuclide tracing and Reberg-Tareev test. The correlation found indicated the authors' technique informative value and its compatibility with the above methods. Identification of renal dysfunction at early stages of benign prostatic hyperplasia allowed their timely hospitalization and operative treatment which enables the physicians to prevent progression of chronic renal failure in these patients.
