COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS DURING THE POSTOPERATIVE PERIOD IN
CHILDREN WITH CEREBELLUM TUMOR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
CORTEXIN TREATMENT AND COGNITIVE-MOTOR TRAINING. Litovcenco A.I. //
Buletinul Academiei de Ştiinţe a Moldovei. Ştiinţele vieţii. 2011. No 2 (314), p.35-42.
The article presents the information on the cortexin ef ciency in the correction of cognitive
disorders in the children with cerebellum tumors (36 patients, among them 19 patients have been
administered cortexin and 17 patients have received an usual treatment with no nootropics) in
the late postoperative period. All the children participated in cognitive-motor training aimed to
improve memory, attention, and psychomotor functions. Different groups of cognitive disorders
related to the therapeutic effects of cortexin (cortexin-independent, cortexin-dependent and
cortexin-resistant disorders) have been detected. A combination of cortexin and cognitivemotor
training signi cantly improves the ef ciency of cognitive neurorehabilitation in the
children with lesions of different cerebellum structures.

MODIFICATION OF THE FREE AMINO ACID CONTENT IN BULL SPERM
PLASMA AT DIFFERENT THERMAL CONDITIONS. Mereuta I. // Buletinul Academiei
de Ştiinţe a Moldovei. Ştiinţele vieţii. 2011. No 2 (314), p.42-51.
The bull sperm exposed to long-term stress at low (25°C) and high temperatures (45°C) has
been established to show an increase in the functional groups and the pool of free amino acids
in plasma. The free amino acids including asparagine, glutamine, γ-amino butyric acid, and
ornithine showed increased stress reactivity at hypothermia stress while cysteic acid, glutamic
acid, valine, cysteine, methionine, ethanol, isoleucine, lysine, and arginine proved to be stress
resistant. The following free amino acids – serine, glutamine, proline, glycine, isoleucine, leucine,
γ-amino butyric acid, lysine, and histidine showed increased stress reactivity at hyperthermia
stress, and citrulline, α-amino butyric acid, and ornithine demonstrated stress resistance. Of all
the free amino acids studied, asparagines, proline, glutamine, glycine, isoleucine, and γ-amino
butyric acid manifested increased stress reactivity to both hypo-and hyperthermia stress.

NEW OPORTUNITIES IN EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF CHRONIC MYOCARDIAL
DYSFUNCTION IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS. Grosu Victoria. // Buletinul
Academiei de Ştiinţe a Moldovei. Ştiinţele vieţii. 2011. No 2 (314), p.51-60.
Biochemical markers for myocardial ischemia have been evaluated in this study for 130
patients, divided in two groups. The rst group included 65 patients, having chronic heart failure,
and the second group of the biochemical marker control comprised 65 healthy subjects. The
investigation performed shows that the patients with chronic heart failure develop hypoxic and
ischemic processes that lead to high concentrations of cardiac proteic indicators in blood serum
– cardiac troponin I, mioglobin, and cardiac speci c serum enzymes – LDH, AST, creatinine
kinase MB isoensyme. Implementation of these laboratory tests in the clinical procedures will
allow a decrease in the morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular pathologies in children
and adolescents, this being an important part in clinical evaluation and making a diagnosis.
