A comparative study of posttraumatic and prenatal angio- and myogenesis in mammals

Desynchronization of myo- and angiogenesis is observed after trauma of skeletal muscles. These processes are synchronous during prenatal development (18th day of embryogenesis). Translated fromByulleten' Eksperimental'noi Biologii i Meditsiny, Vol. 124, No. 10, pp. 460–465, October, 1997

Effect of weightlessness on the ultrastructure of rat striated muscles

The ultrastructure of rat striated muscles fixed on the 13th day of space flight was studied. It was found that adaptive atrophic and degenerative changes occur in parallel with atypical cellular and intracellular regeneration. The muscles are not completely restored after a 14-day readaptation on the Earth. Translated fromByulleten' Eksperimental'noi Biologii i Meditsiny, Vol. 124, No. 11, pp. 586–590, November, 1997     

Characteristics of neurological and cognitive status in patients with multiple sclerosis in relation to the location and volumes of demyelination foci and the severity of brain atrophy

A total of 65 patients with clinically significant diagnoses of remitting multiple sclerosis in the stage of remission were studied. Neurological status was investigated with assessment on the FS and EDSS scales, with neuropsychological testing, and MRI scans (1.5 T). The severity of brain atrophy (in terms of the parenchyma volume) and the total volume of foci on T2 images were assessed as proportions of intracerebral volume. The severity of neurological deficit depended on the volume of intratentorial focal lesions and the level of brain atrophy. Cognitive disorders were identified in 89% of patients, and the severity of these was associated with the level of atrophy and the volume of foci on T2 images in the dominant hemisphere.

Changes in the lumen of visceral arteriovenous anastomoses during pressor reflexes

Changes in the diameter of visceral arteriovenous anastomoses and the microsphere shunting index during pressor reflexes were studied by injection of microspheres in acute experiments on cats. A decrease in the throughput of the arteriovenous anastomoses was found in the small intestine, spleen, kidney, and gastrocnemius muscle during the carotid sinus pressor reflex and electrical stimulation of afferent fibers of the sciatic nerve or brachial plexus.
