[Lipid and phospholipid composition of blood plasma and erythrocyte membranes in children with hemorrhagic vasculitis].

Thin-layer chromatography examination of serum and red cell membrane lipids and phospholipids has been conducted in 37 children with hemorrhagic vasculitis. The authors found: hyperlipidemia resultant from high concentrations of triglycerides, changes in phospholipid fractions due to a relative rise in the level of phosphatidylethanolamine, altered spectrum of red cell membrane lipids due to a significant increase in free cholesterol against low triglycerides. The above shifts may cause hypercoagulation and microcirculatory affections.

[Gastroduodenal pathology in pyelonephritis in children].

The authors describe lesions of the upper alimentary tract in 91 children aged 4 to 15 years suffering from pyelonephritis. Intragastric pH-metry, endoscopy and histological examination of biopsy specimens from the gastric and duodenal mucosa were carried out, as a result of which gastroduodenal pathology was diagnosed in 3/4 of the patients. In 69.

[Current problems of the treatment of duodenal ulcer in children].

Having a large clinical material at their disposal, the authors base the necessity of the search and administration of more effective methods of duodenal ulcer treatment. Analyze the therapeutic effect produced by the enkephalin analogs (dalargin and its combinations with trichopol, de-nol, oxacillin) in connection with infection with Campylobacter . Comparison of the clinico-endoscopic data with the histological and cytological findings enabled arriving at a conclusion about the pathogenetic effect of the antimicrobial drugs.
