title: An assessment of acid-base balance and activity of lysosomal enzymes: mannosidase, b-galactosidase and b-glucosidase in CSF and arterial blood in early and later phases of the clinical course of cerebral contusion.
abstract: Results of the examination of the acid-base balance and the concentration of enzymes - mannosidase, b-galactosidase and b-glucosidase in 61 patients with cerebral contusion are presented. Examination was carried out on an average 11, 15 and 39 days after injury in groups of patients characterised by various clinical states. Examination showed that, in contradistinction to the acid-base balance, enzymal changes in CSF are less evident than in blood. On the base of the results presented it would appear that the level of b-glucosidase in CSF changes in accordance with the level in the blood whereas the other enzymes show a certain autonomy of the CSF in this field.
