Different Types of Urinary Steroid Profiling Obtained by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry in Patients with Adrenocortical Carcinoma.

Urinary steroid profiling (USP) was studied using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) methods in 108 patients with adrenocortical adenoma (ACA) and in 31 patients with adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC). Thirteen ACC and Cushing's syndrome (ACC-CS) patients had two types of USP as well as 18 ACC patients without hypercortisolism. These four types differed by androgen and glucocorticoid secretion of the adrenal cortex.

[Effectiveness of the use of iodized milk protein to improve girls' sufficiency with iodine].

The work presents the results of the research capabilities of the use of iodized milk protein as a component of food supplement and enriched food product for the correction of iodine sufficiency in girls. Milk iodinated protein was produced by the enzyme-effective iodization of amino acid residues of cow's milk whey proteins. The study involved 30 girls, whose average age was 19.

[Study of biological value of beef produced by interspecies hybrids of domestic cattle and wild yaks].

The comparative study of the chemical composition and biological values of beef produced by hybrids of Angus cattle with wild yaks (hybrid beef) and pure-bred Angus cattle (traditional beef) has been carried out. Longissimus muscle samples were used for analysis. It was observed, that the hybrid beef samples had the practically equal protein content comparing to traditional beef (21.

[Combined treatment of panaritium].

69 patients with superficial forms of panaritium were treated with the use of applicational b-therapy in postoperative period. It is well known, that b-radiation produces an anti-inflammatory effect, promotes lysis and elimination of necrotic tissues which promotes healing. Applicational b-therapy was used straight away after the operations and later--after each dressing.
