[Method of the determination of skin capillary permeability].

A new noninvasive impedance method has been proposed to determine the permeability of skin capillaries, which involves measurement of the electric resistance of a skin area before and after exposure to negative pressure. There is a convergence of clinical data and simulation findings. The changes in the permeability coefficient were studied in different periods after recovery of adequate blood supply in the diseased limb.

[The role of anatomical factors in predicting the probability of the development of an abdominal ischemic syndrome].

Anatomo-topographical studies, performed in 100 human corpses established that predispositions to development of the extravasal compressions (EC) of the coeliac trunk (CT) may be observed at high location of the aortal canal mouth, which is usually observed in case of dolichomorphic constitutional type. Complications of not diagnosed coeliac trunk extravasal compressions were the possible reason in 3% of sections. Acute substernal angle (< or = 70 degrees) is an easily determined and significant indicator of dolichomorphic type.

[Fibrous periarteritis of the retroperitoneal space and mediastinum as a cause of extravasal arterial compression].

Under analysis there were 14 patients operated upon for fibrous periarteritis. In 10 patients there was a retroperitoneal localization of the pathological process, and 4 patients had the mediastinal localization. The both localizations have similar features of etiology, pathogenesis, clinical course and lead to the formation of a stenosing scarry housing around the arteries with an issue into the occlusion.

[Extravascular compression of visceral arteries in the diaphragmatic segment of the aorta].

There were 140 patients operated for the celiac trunk (CT) and renal arteries extravascular compression (FC) in diaphragmatic aorta segment. The clinical syndromes of chronic abdominal ischemia and vasorenal hypertension were depicted. The predisposing factors of CT EC is the patients' dolichomorphic constitution with epigastric angle of < or = 70 degrees.

[Extravasal compression of celiac trunk: choice of adequate methods of correction].

The paper describes the clinical features, a scheme of pathogenesis and a classification of extravasal compressions of the celiac trunk in 106 patients who have undergone surgery. The scope of operations depended on the stage of the disease, in uncomplicated cases, decompression was carried out. In periarterial fibrosis it was supplemented by arteriolysis or changes of blood flow to the liver.

[A comparative evaluation of methods for vena cava filtration in venous thromboembolisms].

The article presents an experience with the work of a city phlebologic center, confirming the importance of active introduction of modern surgical methods of prevention of embolism of the pulmonary artery in the program of aid to patients with acute embologenic iliofemoral phlebothromboses. Use of the methods of endo- and exovenous cava filtration and cavaplication allowed lethality in this group of patients to be reduced from 15-20% to 1%.

[Role of nonspecific factors in the therapeutic action of general hyperthermia in oncologic diseases].

A study was made of the indices of hemodynamics, the immune status and thiol-disulfide system of the blood of cancer patients subjected to artificial total hyperthermia-hyperglycemia. The authors revealed the phase nature of the body response to total hyperthermia resulting in stimulation of the body adaptation mechanisms with a tendency to the normalization of disturbed homeostatic parameters. The effect of total hyperthermia in cancer therapy depended not only on the factor of selective temperature damage of tumor cells but also on the competence of the system of nonspecific body resistance.

[Effect of whole-body artificial hyperthermia on the immunity function in cancer patients].

The changes in immunologic indexes were studied in 90 cancer patients treated with artificial whole body hyperthermia and hyperglycemia. The changes of the indexes under study showed a double-phase curve after a hyperthermic session--the phase of "heat shock aftermath" involving a short-term decline in certain immunologic indexes was followed by a general improvement of immunologic vigor of cancer patients. Different components of cancer patient immunologic system reacted differently to whole body hyperthermia.

[Relation between changes in the bile composition of choledocholithiasis patients and the method of draining the bile ducts].

The important role of the early reestablishment of the enterohepatic bile circulation for normalization of its composition and recovery of functioning the hepatic cell is shown on the basis of examination of the biochemical composition with choledocholythiasis complicated by mechanical jaundice in the pre- and postoperative period in dynamics. Draining of the hepatocholedochus with an original double cribrate transcapillary drain was widely used in the clinic.

[HL-A system antigen distribution in malignant neoplasm patients].

The distribution of transplantation HL-A antigens in 124 patients (cancer of the stomach, mammary glands, the large intestine, the lung, skeletal sarcoma) was studied in microlymphocyte toxic reaction. A comparison with the results of the analogous examination of healthy persons dwelling in Leningrad indicated certain differences in the frequency of encountering some antigens, and the absence of HLA-B18 antigen among patients. Most frequently (in 62%) an "incomplete set" of antigens was found in a group of patients, antigens typical for the whole locus (more frequently "B") being absent in 7.
