Hyperbaric oxygenation and current methods of detoxication in multimodal intensive therapy of diffuse peritonitis

The course of diffuse peritonitis has been followed up in 219 patients, 20 of these with the reactive, 165 with toxic, and 34 with the terminal stages of the condition. Multiple-modality intensive care included, besides routine therapy, local abdominal hypothermia, UV irradiation of autoblood (UVIAB), and, if indicated, hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) and hemoperfusion. In addition to clinical tests, immunobiochemical monitoring of medium-molecular peptide fractions MM1 and MM2 and index of their distribution, as well as of circulating immune complexes CIC1 and CIC2 and the levels of immunoglobulins IgA, IgM, and IgG were the criteria for assessing the severity of intoxication and efficacy of intensive care and for predicting the course and outcome of the disease. The results indicate that HBO in combination with hemoperfusion, local abdominal hypothermia, and UVIAB have a positive impact on the clinical picture of the disease and on the time course of markers of endogenous intoxication and humoral immunity in patients with the terminal and toxic phases of diffuse peritonitis.

Data on the synthesis of 19 new azo-pyrazoles which are promising for use as dyes for polycaproamide are reported. Their structure and the properties of the polycaproamide fabrics dyed with them were investigated and a correlation was established between the structure of the azo-pyrazoles and the color fastness of the fabrics in laundering, wet and dry rubbing, and exposure to light and molds.     

Thermal expansion of solid solutions based on calcium and barium fluorides

The thermal expansion of the Ca_0.90Y_0.10F_2.10, Ca_0.97Yb_0.03F_2.03, Ca_0.97Co_0.03F_2.00, Ba_0.70La_0.30F_2.30, and Ba_0.80Nd_0.20F_2.20 solid solutions has been studied experimentally from below liquid-nitrogen temperature to room temperature. The results demonstrate that both the iso- and heterovalent dopants have a weak effect on the linear thermal expansion coefficient of the fluorite-structure crystals.
