Artificial ventilation of the lungs after paralysis of the diaphragm

To maintain a normal arterial pCO₂ in phrenicotomized rabbits artificial ventilation of the lungs must be increased to almost double the normal level. The reason is that phrenicotomy causes a decrease not only in pulmonary, but also in alveolar ventilation.Laboratory of Compensation of Disturbed Functions, Institute of Normal and Pathological Physiology, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, Moscow.(Presented by Academician of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR A.

Simultaneous recording of the transpulmonary pressure and electromyogram of the diaphragm

Effect of diazepam on development of the offspring

Experiments on rats showed that diazepam, in a dose of 10 mg/kg by mouth throughout pregnancy, affects the development of the offspring. Changes observed in the behavior of the young rats are evidently due to the activating action of the compound in small doses on the fetus after passing through the placental barrier.Laboratory of General Pharmacology, Institute of Pharmacology, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, Moscow.

Role of the liver in development of dyshormonal diseases of the mammary gland in rats

Intermittent administration of CCl₄ combined with permanent illumination led to a decrease in the frequency of mastopathy and mammary gland tumors in sexually immature female rats and lengthened the period of their development. It is suggested that during regression of cirrhosis the liver may lose its ability to activate estrogens.Laboratory of Carcinogenic Substances, Department of Carcinogenic Agents, Oncologic Scientific Center, Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR, Moscow.
