The distribution of theANPlike substance in the hearts of human fetuses and rats was studied. The results were as follows:①In human fetus ANP-like substance was found throughout in the atrial wall, but more intensely in the inner layer. It lacked in the ventricular wall. ②In young rat atrum, ANP-like substance wasdistributed over the whole wall, but richer in the cells beneath the endocardium and epicardium. In adult rat atrium, distribution of ANP-like substance was more intensely beneath the epicardium than that near the lumen. In the ventricle, ANP-like substance was found only in the young rat, especially on the left side of interventricular septum (IVS). So the distribution of ANP in rat hearts changes with age. ③In the sinus node (SAN) and atrioventricular node (AVN) of both human fetuses and rats showed a small amount of ANP-like substance, and more in peripheral part of the nodes, but thereactive intensity was weaker than that of the atrial wall. The presence of ANP in conduction system may have some functional significance to influence the pulse conduction.展开更多

In addition to solitary SIF cells and clusters of SIF cells reported previously, a new structure of SIF cells was found and named ''SIF-cell nodule''. The SIF-cell nodule was composed of a large number of SIF cells and was encapsulated by dense connective tissue. Some blood vessels and nerve fibers entered the nodule. Based on the morphology, we speculated that SIF-cell nodule might be an endocrine gland.展开更多

This periodicity gave rise to the rhythm that has become essential for their life. Life is a continual chemical process of building up and breaking down of organic substances, which results from the substance exchange between an organism and the environment. This makes it impossible for a living organism to exist without the external environment. Since 1978-1979 we have been carrying out a task-oriented research with the aim to approximate the moment when we are able to answer all these questions. Daily fluctuations of cardiac and motor activity of the fetus have been studied (uninterrupted daily recording of fetal ECG);polysomnography of nocturnal sleep was recorded;daily fluctuations of endocrine system activity in the pregnant were studied. A correlation was made between the functional state of maternal sleep-wakefulness biological rhythm, biological clock of the human fetus and the “light-darkness” cycle of a 24-hour solar day. In the process of the study we have developed an original method of day-to-day analysis of maternal and fetal ECGs. It has been established that a healthy fetus has distinct, diurnal variations of physiological functions. The fetal biorhythms coordinate with the status of the maternal organism being, however, in an opposite phase. The curve of the dynamics of fetal physiological system functioning shows a biphasic nature (one-phase in adults). “Active” and “quiet” (sleep-like) periods have been singled out in the human fetus. No reaction is observed in “quiet” periods. However, the “zero”-type fetal reaction recorded by us within the period from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. does not indicate unsatisfactory condition of the fetus but rather is suggestive of a definite reduction of functional levels of the fetal physiological systems, which is necessary for vital activity. Although conventionally recognized as an indicator of poor state of the fetus, this type only calls for precise attention when recorded in fetal “active” hours. The present study has been the first in the world’s medicine and biorhythmology to detect and establish the daily rhythms of cardiac and motor activity in the human fetus.展开更多
