[Long-term results of the use of lyophilized xenodermoimplants in the surgical treatment of patients with cicatricial stenosis of the larynx].

Unlabelled: Purpose is to study the long-term results of patients with cicatricial stenosis of the larynx treated with use lyophilized xenodermoimplants for postoperative wound plasty.

Material And Methods: The results of treatment of 34 patients (age from 32 to 56 years) with cicatricial stenosis of the larynx were analyzed. A fundamentally new method of surgical treatment of such patients has been developed and introduced into practice, in which lyophilized xenodermoimplants were used for plasty of the wound surface.

[The character of variations in the relationships of lymphocyte subpopulations in the patients presenting with chronic decompensated tonsillitis].

The palatine tonsils are known to be involved in the formation of cellular and humoral immunity. Apoptosis is believed to be one of the main biological mechanism regulating the quantitative composition of subpopulations of the immunocompetent cells. Therefore, the prevalence of apoptotic and anti-apoptotic processes determines the direction of the immune response.

[The influence of dead lymphocytes from middle ear secretion on the development of sensorineural hearing impairment associated with acute otitis media].

The objective of the present work was to estimate the number of lymphocytes in the middle ear secretion that had died as a result of apoptosis or necrosis in the patients presenting with acute otitis media and to elucidate the relationship between this phenomenon and the development of sensorineural impairment of hearing. The study included a total of 106 patients suffering from acute middle otitis allocated two groups. Group 1 was comprised of 75 (70.
