Vol 23, No 3 (1927)
In memory of Professor Alexei Alexandrovich Panormov
Abstract
Without enumerating all A. A. scientific works, I shall note only that the most important of them were devoted to the most difficult problem of chemistry, over which generations of physiologists and chemists have been working - the problem of protein bodies. Working persistently in this field, A. A. infected with his ideas and his closest pupils, three of whom - V. V. Worms, S. M. Maksimovich and Slonim - occupy university chairs in Saratov, Rostov and Tashkent.



From observations on the hemoglobin of pigeon blood
Abstract
Hoppe-Seyler in relation to hemoglobin from goose blood found that phosphorus is a constant component of it. On the average goose blood hemoglobin, according to this author, contains 0.77% PO5 or 0.22% P. The explanation for this was found in the fact that the red blood globules of birds contain nuclei. Jaquet found 0.197% P in hemoglobin from chicken blood. Gscheiden confirms Hoppe-Seuler's observation, although he suggests that the presence of P in hemoglobin from blood of other animals is the result of contamination of the preparation.



To the issue of fluctuations of blood salts
Abstract
The classical studies of Loeb and his school put forward a huge material for studying the influence of salts on all processes related to the activity of muscles, nerves and glands. Loeb's own experiments on marine animals led him to the conclusion that the substances in the so-called nutrient solutions should be divided into substances that are actually nutritive, which go to build the cell, and substances that play a protective role. Among the latter Loeb includes chloride salts of Na, K, Ca and Mg, absence of which in the environment containing living matter entails physical changes in protoplasm of the latter.



Adrenal lipase, its relation to poisons and clinical significance
Abstract
The science of lipolytic organ enzymes has made a great step forward in the last five years. This is mainly due to Roua and his collaborators, who for the first time established a very interesting fact of selective effect of different poisons on lipase of different organs. Thus, studies by Rona, Bach and Reinicke showed that while blood serum lipase is extremely sensitive both to quinine and to atoxyl, being quite paralyzed by very small doses of these substances, liver lipase, being extremely sensitive to atoxyl, does not lose its enzymatic properties even from large doses of quinine (Rona and Pawlovic); The same is true of the kidney lipase (Rona, Retow and Schreiber) and of the pulmonary lipase to quinine.



To the question of the treatment of sublimate poisoning with bismuth
Abstract
Studying our clinic's material relating to cases of mercury poisoning, we found that of all cases of this kind that passed through the clinic in the last 4 years, 30% had an exitus lethalis. Out of 70% of the benign cases of poisoning, 16% were very mild cases where minimal doses of sulem were taken, which had almost no effect on renal function, while the first group consisted mainly of cases in which, together with severe renal damage (anuria), there were changes in the gastrointestinal tract.






On the fixation of shoulder dislocations by the method of Prof. Janelidze
Abstract
After having acquainted with the new method of reduction of dislocations of the shoulder published by professor Janelidze in the "Bulletin of Surgery and Boundary Areas" (1922, volume I, book 3), I decided to try the method suggested by the author, which in comparison with all known to me methods already a priori seemed to me extremely simple technically and very ingenious.



To hernia statistics
Abstract
To review the work done, to summarize it, to find achievements and mistakes in it, then to outline a further plan closely connected with modern bio-technical and chemical methods, - this is the way through which the inquiring thought of every surgeon should pass. During the last 4 years (1923-1926) 4,563 patients admitted to my Surgical Department, 694 (15.2%) of them with hernias.



Experience in the saliva of pregnant women
Abstract
The impact of pregnancy on the oral organs has long been known. In particular, dental caries lesions and worsening of pre-existing caries in pregnant women can be considered a well-established fact. The frequency of dental caries and other dental diseases in pregnant women, attracting the attention of dentists, has led to the creation of a number of theories. These theories ascribed great importance to the increase of acid formation in the pregnant woman's organism and especially readily many researchers ascribe the development of dental caries in pregnant women to the acid reaction of saliva, which is thought to be characteristic of pregnant women.



Toward the teaching of female hypospadias
Abstract
The name "hypospadia" is used to describe a malformation, the essence of which consists in the split or absence of the anterior wall of the organs, which develop in embryonic life from the allantois, i.e. mainly the urethra and the bladder. Since Meyerhofer's time, the name of female hypospadia has been attributed to that malformation of the female genital parts in which the vaginal fornix in an adult woman retains the embryological features of the urogenital sinus, having the appearance of a deep funnel-shaped canal.



Materials on Dick's reaction and active immunization against scarlatina
Abstract
Although the question of the etiology of scarlet fever has not been finally resolved until recently, the question of the Dick's reaction, which is closely connected with the role of the streptococcus in this disease, has occupied the attention of many. With active immunization against scarlatina in Kazan in mind, the Microbiological Institute decided to conduct a preliminary campaign of examination for the Dick's reaction. Both interest in the reaction as such and the desire to find out its epidemiological value prompted us to do so.



Reflexes from the skull cap
Abstract
Up to now the cranial cover has not been mentioned among other commonly known reflexogenic zones, and one would think that it really cannot serve as such a zone. However, when trying to solve experimentally the question whether irritation of the cranial cover could cause reactions which by their nature and by virtue of their regularity would have the right to be called reflexes, I soon became convinced that the cranial cover can also be a starting point for obtaining some diagnostically valuable reflexes, which is why these reflexes are described in this article.



To the treatment of syphilis with Russian bismuth preparations
Abstract
In recent years, a huge number of different bismuth preparations have been introduced into syphilis therapy under different names. Here we find aqueous solutions of bismuth salts (sigmuth. nadisan), oily suspensions of soluble bismuth compounds (trepol), oily suspensions of insoluble bismuth compounds (quinby, bismogenol, milanol), preparations with bismuth in colloidal state (neotrepol, bisdiasparol), mixed bismuth preparations (spirobismol, casbis), etc. Most of these preparations contain BIO, in a number of them chlorine, iodine and sulfur are introduced into the salt molecule. The content of metallic bismuth in the preparations ranges from 5 to 96%.



Current state of heart surgery in relation to some views on modern surgical science
Abstract
Modern surgery is taking over more and more organs, recapturing more and more areas of internal medicine. We see that in its great progressive movement surgery gradually involves within its sphere of influence a whole range of diseases that previously belonged exclusively to the sphere of internal medicine, such as some diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, biliary tract, lungs, etc. We see that even those organs, which until so recently were considered inaccessible to the art of the surgeon, are beginning to be subject to surgical intervention. Such last inviolable organ, on which the hand of the surgeon has not encroached for a long time, is the heart.



Functions of the peripheral heart. A. I. Ignatovsky (Phys. Ob., 1926, No. 12)
Abstract
It is now possible to prove that the vessels have the same functions that characterize the heart: stimulus automatism, excitability, tonicity, contractility, and stimulus conduction. Blood circulation should be considered as a combination of the action of the heart and vessels, at the same time recognizing the functional separateness of both. The doctrine of the peripheral heart must be understood in the sense that the heart is a kind of dynamo for the vessels, while the latter are a kind of pumping pump for the blood circulation.



The cost of the elements of the human body. Pearl (Nov. Fr. Med., 1926, no. 11-12)
Abstract
The author calculated that the body of a man weighing 75 kilograms contains 1) enough fat to make three candles, 2) enough water to wash two sheets, 3) enough iron for a pinky nail, 4) enough lime to whitewash a small room, 5) enough sulfur to kill fleas in a sick dog, 6) enough sugar for morning tea.



Experimental arteriosclerosis. Nasum, Segal, Garland, and Osborne (Arch. of int. med., 1926: on ref. in Nov. Fr. Med., 1926, no. 11-12)
Abstract
In order to cause arteriosclerosis in animals (rabbits), the authors fed them food with high nitrogen content, namely, one group of animals received animal proteins (liver), another was fed with oats, rabbits of the third group received soy.









To the pathogenesis of pellagra. Каrсzag (Wiener kl. Woch., 1926, No. 50)
Abstract
The author concludes that pellagra, a disease observed at the diet of maize and usually attributed to the number of avitaminosis, is a chronic disease of the chromaffin system with periodic fluctuations, with the endocrine glandular system and the autonomic nervous system involved in the first place.






Cultures of malarial plasmodium. V. V. Yakovlev (Leningrad Med. J., 1926, No. 10)
Abstract
The author tried to obtain these cultures according to Bass' and Johns' method, namely, after the seizure he took 10 cc of blood from v. mediana with a syringe, quickly transferred it to a graduated test tube with 0.1 50% dextrose at the bottom, and defibrinated by stirring with a glass rod. After defibrination, the stick and clot were removed, the test tube was sealed with a new sterile cotton plug, and placed in a thermostat at 40°-41° C. For further study, the author used red blood cells from the upper layer of sediment under the serum column - these red blood cells were carefully collected in a Pastenr tube and smears were made on slides.



Plasmoquin, a new remedy against malaria. Mühlens (Die Naturwissenschaften, 1926, no. 48-49)
Abstract
The author reported the results of treatment of malaria with a synthetically produced derivative of quinoline, plasmoquine. The latter was given orally in doses of 0.02-0.05 in 0.1-0.15 p. die. The treatment was given daily for the first 5-7 days, then several times at intervals of 4-5 days for 3 days in a row, for a total of 4-6 weeks.



Treatment of malaria in pregnant women with quinine. Canton Eliseo (Ber. ü. d. g. Gyn., Bd. XI)
Abstract
To refute the opinion among physicians that quinine therapy of malaria in pregnancy threatens the preservation of the latter, Canton Eliseo showed by experiments on pregnant rabbits that the administration of 2-4 centigrams of chinini muriatici pro kilo does not cause abortion.



Autopiotherapy. Lutz (Deut. med. Woch., 1926, No. 43)
Abstract
As is known, Makai proposed to treat cold and hot abscesses by injecting patients' own pus subcutaneously in an amount of 0.25-5 cc in hot abscesses and 10-20 cc in cold ones; injections are repeated every 5th-7th day until the abscess contents become serous-bloody or bouillon-like.






Surgical treatment of fresh fractures. Prof. V. I. Parin (Vestn. Khir. i Pogr. Obl., b. 24)
Abstract
The author finds that surgical treatment of fresh fractures, or osteosynthesis, is gradually gaining more and more use in surgery. Such treatment is indicated a) for interposition of soft parts, b) for fractures in the joint area, c) for tears of bone areas to which functionally important muscles or ligaments are attached with simultaneous damage of vessels and nerves, d) in cases where other treatment methods, after 10-14 days of their application, proved unsuccessful and proper repositioning of fragments was not achieved.



On surgical treatment of fibrous polyps of the skull base. Prof. Nikolsky (Vest. Khir. i Pogr. Obl., 1926, b. 23)
Abstract
Based on the material of 18 cases, the author believes that each case of skull base polyp should be surgically strictly individualized. Where it is possible to remove the polyp through natural routes, through the nose and mouth, the latter should be used in the first place.



On the removal of foreign bodies from the esophagus. Feldmann (Zeit. f. H. N. Ohrenheilk., XVI, 4)
Abstract
Taking into account the widespread propaganda of esophagoscopy, the author again raises the question before the medical community, whether the esophagus should be probed at all, and especially where there are esophagoscopes and esophagoscopists. Probing is a very dangerous method of intervention when a foreign body gets into the esophagus, which often results in the insertion of the body into the wall of the esophagus, its perforation with subsequent mediastinitis, pneumonia, breakthrough into the trachea, aorta, etc.









Treatment of purulent diffuse peritonitis. Novak (Berich. ü. d. ges. Gyn., Bd. XI, H. 5/6)
Abstract
The author reports that in Petrivalskis' clinic in the treatment of diffuse perforative peritonitis drainage is not used if the infectious focus is removed; abscesses are drained; antiseptics are also not used due to their harmful effect on the vital properties of the peritoneal endothelium, but it is recommended to infuse 50-100 cc into the abdominal cavity. 3% solution of hydrogenii superoxydati, and the resulting foam mechanically cleans the abdominal cavity, and the released oxygen produces oxidation of toxins.



Postoperative acidosis. Berezov, Kukhovarenko, and Lifshitz (Vestn. Khir. i Pogr. Obl., vol. VIII, b. 22, 1926)
Abstract
The authors observing 281 patients found acetonuria characteristic of acidosis in 43% of cases, irrespective of whether the operation was performed under general anesthesia or local anesthesia; hyperglycemia (blood sugar over 0.17%) occurred in parallel.









To the treatment of trachoma. W. Meerhoff (Zeit. f. А., 1926. Bd. 59)
Abstract
The author performed 15 cases of treatment of trachoma with intravenous infusions of 4% ammomi cupro-sulfurici solution. After 1-2 injections the patients usually felt a great relief of all subictive disorders; and after 3-4 injections they disappeared completely.



Corneal trepanation. Е. Seidler (Zeit. f. А., В. 59, Н. 1/2)
Abstract
On the basis of his experience, the author recommends using Sonderman's trepanation of the cornea in case of ulcus corneae serpens and other progressive corneal abscesses. This method of treatment has the advantage over splitting according to Saemisch'y in that it avoids iris prolapse. As for the trepanation technique, the author adhered to Sonderman's method.









Vaginal secretion reaction in newborns. Kienlin (Zentr. f. G., 1926, No. 11)
Abstract
The University Hospital of Hamburg-Eppendorf holds the view that the ability of Döderlein's bacillus and E. coli to produce lactic acid is of secondary importance, and that the presence of a certain acidity is a necessary precondition for the growth of b. vaginalis.



Lipiodol for the diagnosis of pregnancy. Heuser (Lancet 1925, no. 22; ref. in Berich, über d. ges. G., Bd. X)
Abstract
After preliminary disinfection of the vagina and emptying of the bowels, 40-60 cc of air is injected into the bladder, and 1-2 cc of lipiodol is gently injected into the uterus with a long cannula, after which an X-ray is taken. In the case of pregnancy, the lipiodol cannot fill the entire uterine body cavity, and therefore the typical triangular shadow is not obtained on the X-ray.






Improvement of external methods of obstetric examination. Windeуer (Веr. ü. d. ges. Gyn., Bd. XI, H. 8)
Abstract
With sufficient skill, you can feel the shoulder and follow the change in its position, which allows you to judge the rotation of the head. Further, he indicates a technique by which one can determine in which oblique dimension of the pelvis the head stands. The trick is to try to penetrate with both index fingers in the lateral parts of the pelvis between the head and the horizontal branch of the pubic bone.



Changes in the lochial secretion due to internal examination of women in labor. Кüstner (Zeit. f. G. и G., Bd. 90, 1926)
Abstract
The author studied postpartum secretions in three groups of women who were examined in different ways during labor.

Labor management with local anesthesia. Gellert (Monat. f. Geb. u. Gyn., Bd. 73, 1926, H. 3/4)
Abstract
Considering that all modern methods of labor anesthesia, with the exception of hypnosis, generally adversely affect the act of childbirth, the author develops a method of labor management under local anesthesia. Due to the short duration of local anesthesia, it is necessary to deliver as soon as possible, so the author's method is combined, consisting in the simultaneous use of local anesthesia and uterine contraction enhancers.

Abstract
In his dissertation Vogel, based on 5,300 deliveries at the Göttingen Clinic, reported the following conclusions: premature rupture of the bladder after the first contraction occurred in 10% of all cases; since 1913 to 1922, the frequency of this anomaly had increased from 6.1% to 15.8%; in occipital presentation the rate was 8.9%, in anterocranial-26.4%, in facial-22.9%, in breech and transversal-16%.



On the use of Bezredko leachate in postpartum diseases. Tron (Zentr. f. Gyn., 1927, No. 5)
Abstract
The author has successfully used it in 37 patients and came to the following conclusions: 1) the filtrate should be applied in the first days of the disease; 2) local application of it results in increased immigration of leucocytes to wound surfaces, which is a defense of the body against infection; 3) after one or two applications of filtrate, wound surfaces are cleared; 4) application of filtrate at the beginning of the disease prevents the process from spreading.



Pyramidon's effect on the female sexual sphere. Janusсhке, Lasch, Pеrutz (Arch. f. Derm. u. Syph., 1926, Bd. 150, Н. 3)

The authors undertook a series of studies to ascertain the nature of the action of pyramidone on the isolated uterus and tubes of guinea pigs. The authors found that the agent at a concentration of 1:25,000 caused a considerable decrease in the tone of the uterine muscles; when the concentration was increased to 1:10,000, the rhythmic contractions of this organ also disappeared completely.



Local eosinophilia in uterine cancer. Schock (Zentr. f. Gyn. 1926, No. 45)
Abstract
The author notes that the body's protective reaction to cancerous tumor development is expressed in the formation of a small cellular infiltration on the border between the healthy tissue and the tumor, with neutrophilic leukocytes receding into the background and small lymphocytes and plasma cells forming the main mass, among which there are always base and eosinophilic leukocytes in small numbers.



"Chemical extirpation" of the uterus for body cancer. Drissen (Zentr. F Gyn., 1927, No. 5)

The treatment with neosalvarsan starts with a dose of 0.15, which is then increased to 0.3, and administer this amount twice a week until the total dose administered reaches 4.2-5 grams.



On the essence of Weber's symptom. I. M. Krukover (Vestn. of rhinolaryngo-otiatrics, 1926, No. 3)
Abstract
According to Prof. Komendantov, diseases of the sound-conducting apparatus obstruct continuous access of sounds to the ear, thus giving the sound-receiving apparatus a "rest". In these cases, when a sounding tuning fork is placed to the vertex, the more tired healthy ear hears this tuning fork worse, i. e. a laterization of sound into the diseased ear occurs. I. M. Krukover performed a number of experiments that confirmed the correctness of this theory.



Wound diphtheria in otosurgery. L. Seifert (Ztschr. f. Hals-Nas.- und Ohrhl., Bd. 14, H. 4)
Abstract
The author tries to cover the issue of wound diphtheria from the otosurgical point of view, finding it very important in practical terms to keep in mind, firstly, that the wound at trepanation of the mastoid process through the middle ear and the eustachian tube is in direct communication with the upper respiratory tract and pharynx, and secondly, that along with mucous membranes diphtheria often affects the middle ear as well as the retroauricular wounds.






To the teaching of choanal polyps. A. Fetisov (Vest. Rino-L.-O., 1926, No. 4-5)
Abstract
The author concludes that choanal polyp is an inflammatory hypertrophy of the sinus mucosa, being a symptom of serous, less often purulent inflammation. Removal of the polyp alone always gives a relapse, a radical operation with removal of the mucous membrane of the affected sinus is necessary.






About rhinoplasty. Sercer (Mon. f. Ohrenheilk., LX, H. 6)
Abstract
The author performs rhinoplasty in the following way: first, he implants a piece of cartilage of thickness of the index finger, taken from the VII rib, under the periosteum of the forehead, and the cartilage must be covered with perichondrium; after two months, when the cartilage has taken root, the real plasty, which consists of several stages, with 5-6 days between each pair of the latter.
