Modeling and development of technology for smelting a complex alloy (ligature) Fe-Si-Mn-Al from manganese-containing briquettes and high-ash coals.

Investigation of the possibility of obtaining a complex master alloy used in the deoxidation of steel, smelted from substandard manganese-containing materials, briquettes, and high-ash coals in ore-thermal electric furnaces. Thermodynamic modeling was carried out using the HSC Chemistry software package to determine the optimal process parameters using a second-order rotatable plan (Box-Hunter plan). Thermodynamic modeling improves the understanding of physical and chemical processes, allows making predictions about the behavior of the system under various conditions, optimizing processes and saving time and resources necessary for experiments.

[Proliferation of fat cells in lipomas].

Common lipomas and destructive ones (intramuscular, infiltrating, necrotizing and destroying surrounding tissues) were studied in 9 patients electron-microscopically and radioautographically. The adequacy of necrotizing processes and regeneration was observed: normal fat tissue-lipoma-destructive lipoma. In the latter besides pronounced destruction of tissue (adipocytes, vessels, muscles at the border with tumour), there was accelerated differentiation of preadipocytes from the cells-precursors (fibroblasts and undifferentiated cells of the vascular wall), hypertrophy of preadipocytes (their size and number of nuclei increase) and their proliferation.

[Efficacy of clinical-serologic diagnosis of wound infection in burned patients].

Titer of antibodies to microorganisms obtained from wound and blood of 46 patients with burns of IIIAB--IV degree was studied. The majority of the burned patients have ability to synthesize antibodies. Agglutination of the bacteria by antibodies promoted location of infectious agent in primary focus and impeded bacteria to spread into blood and generalization of process.

[Immune status in diabetic patients with pyo-necrotic lesions of lower extremities].

Long-term and severe pyonecrotic processes in diabetic patients testify to severe disorders of immune system in this disease. High titer of antibodies to tested autostrain demonstrated its etiologic role in infectious process. The study group consisted of 29 patients (with diabetic pyonecrotic foot lesions), control group--17 patients with burns of III a, b--IV stage affecting from 20 to 60% of body surface.

Morphological changes in burn wounds after transplantation of allogenic fibroblasts.

Cultured allogenic fibroblasts labeled with fluorescent acridine orange and transplanted onto burn wound virtually completely disappear from the wound surface within 2 days (are destroyed). Study of wound morphology by light autoradiography and quantitative analysis showed a stimulating effect of transplanted fibroblasts on wound healing. This effect, irrespective of the initial state of the wound, is always directed at accelerated formation of connective tissue similar to the derma and capable of epithelialization.
