[Radiographic criteria of differential diagnosis of hereditary tubulopathies in children].

In search for x-ray signs of skeletal involvement specific for each type of hereditary tubulopathies, the authors analyze the results of clinical and x-ray examinations of 144 children aged 2 to 16. Vitamin D-resistant rickets which was diagnosed in 83 children was found to be characterized by varus deformations of the lower limb bones, by systemic osteoporosis of various degrees with hypertrophy of the osseous beams in the epimetaphyseal compartments and accelerated bone age. In renal tubular acidosis diagnosed in 28 children the most typical findings were valgus deformation of the lower limb bones, an appreciable deceleration of bone age, systemic osteoporosis with thinning of osseous beams, the degree of bone deformation being the minimal or moderate.

[Comparative study of drug and dietary correction of dyslipoproteinemias among the population].

A comparative study of diet and drug correction of dyslipoproteinemias in individuals with stable hypercholesterolemia showed that following a month of diet treatment of groups selected for the therapy with probucol and ascorbic acid there was a clear-cut decrease in the level of plasma cholesterol.
