[Cytopathomorphism of the thyroid].

Despite the successes in anti-goitre actions, the problem of thyroid pathology still remains to be of high complexity and concern. Research conducted in the endemic goitre focus in the Pre-Carpathians indicated the presence of pronounced pathomorphosis of thyroid abnormalities. The incidence of autoimmune and malignant conditions is growing, so is that of Hürthle cell metamorphosis in the thyroid epithelium.

[Malignization of goiter].

From analysis of literature data and the results of their personal studies embracing 3,139 operations for diseases of the thyroid gland the authors conclude that certain forms of goiter (nodular and recurrent in particular) play regularly the role of background processes in the development of cancer of the gland. This provides the ground for setting apart such patients into a risk group. Marked dysplasia is the main form of precancerous changes.

[Morphofunctional liver studies of white rats with toxic hepatitis maintained on parenteral nitrogen feeding].

Subcutaneous administration of noriamine S-2, a mixture of crystalline amino acids, and improved casein hydrolysate to rats on protein-free diet for 8 days completely made for protein insufficiency and did not materially affect the morphological appearance of liver tissue. in toxic hepatitis, administration of the above preparations improved liver function. However, the morphofunctional parameters did not completely return to normal.
