[Chlamydiosis of the upper sections of the digestive tract].

The experience is submitted gained with the diagnosis and treatment of Chlamydia trachomatis-associated esophagitis. Used in the study were laboratory and instrumental methods of diagnosis, with their merits and demerits outlined. It is pointed out that complex diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis-produced esophagitis is important, the treatment involving institution of anti-bacterial and immunomodulating therapies.

[Influence of vagotomy on pancreatic blood flow in surgical treatment of gastroduodenal ulcer complicated by hemorrhage].

In 56 patients with bleeding duodenal ulcer the influence of truncal, selective and selective proximal vagotomy on pancreatic blood flow was studied, basing on the intraoperative rheopancreatography data. The advantages of selective proximal vagotomy in correction of the disorders revealed were proved.

[The evaluation of pancreatic blood flow in patients with gastroduodenal ulcer complicated by hemorrhage, according to rheopancreatography].

The results of the pancreatic gland (PG) blood flow was studied up in 121 patients with hemorrhage of different severity using intraoperative rheopancreatography. Under the influence of hemorrhage in the PG the arterial blood flow is lowering, the arteriovenous shunting mechanisms are starting.

[The influence of sympathectomy of the superior mesenteric artery on the pancreatic blood flow].

The results of performance of intraoperative rheopancreatography in 8 patients, operated on for an ulcer disease, were presented. The performance of selective proximal vagotomy and sympathectomy of a mesenterica superior had promoted the pancreatic blood flow improvement. It is substantiated in patients with secondary chronic pancreatitis, caused by the ulcer disease.

[Pancreatic blood flow function in patients with duodenal peptic ulcer].

The condition was studied of bloodflow in 29 patients with duodenal ulcer, operated on because conservative therapy proved to be ineffective. In patients with uncomplicated duodenal ulcer, disorders of the pancreas bloodflow are at their greatest in the area of the head of the gland at the level of arterioles, with arteriolospasm phenomena being most noticeable. The secured data are to be taken account of in selection of therapeutic measures to be instituted in the patients.

[The optimization of treatment outcomes in patients with the Mallory-Weiss syndrome].

Examined in the study were results of conservative and surgical treatment of 202 patients presenting with Mallory-Weiss syndrome. Etiological factors of the syndrome were studied, investigations designed to study the regional bloodflow of the stomach in the zone of ruptures and intact areas, the motor and acid-producing functions of the stomach were conducted. Based on the conducted general clinical and special examination of patients with Mallory-Weiss syndrome the importance was proved of ischemic atrophic gastritis, discoordination of the motor and evacuatory function of the esophagus and duodenum in the genesis of the above syndrome, which disorders tend to be more manifest in sudden impacts of predisposing factors.

[The combined x-ray-endoscopic evaluation of the late results in organ-preserving operations with vagotomy in peptic ulcer].

The article gives an objective assessment of remote results of surgical treatment of 197 patients who underwent organ-sparing operations combined with vagotomy for ulcer disease. Combined utilization of contemporary roentgenologic and endoscopic techniques allowed some important conclusions of practical value to be drawn.

[Erosive gastritis after an organ-preserving operation for duodenal ulcer].

Examined were 243 patients with duodenal ulcer after the operation of selective proximal vagotomy. Pyloroplasty was performed in 49.9%, duodenoplasty in 53.

[The characteristics of the dispensary observation and treatment of patients with duodenal peptic ulcer following organ-preserving operations].

An analysis of results of organ saving operations in combination with selective proximal vagotomy in 234 patients with duodenal ulcer revealed that one of the causes of unfavourable treatment outcomes is the development of erosive-ulcerative lesions of the stomach. The leading etiological factors for distal gastritis in duodenogastric reflux, for proximal gastritis-ischemia of the gastric wall in the devascularization zone. Individualized treatment with consideration of the etiopathogenesis of postoperative gastritis allows to reduce the frequency of development of postvagotomy disorders by 19.

[Surgery of pathologic fractures of the metacarpal bones in children].

The experience with the use of a method of bone plasty developed by the authors in the treatment of 13 children with a pathologic fracture of metacarpal bones is summarized. In follow up of from 1 to 6 years, the complete reconstruction of a transplant with replacing the defects by bone tissue which do not differ in structure from the own one was noted. A hand function restored to the full volume.

[Osteoplastic operations in the treatment of tumors of finger phalanx bones in children].

In the article is proposed the method of treatment of finger phalanx tumors in children, localized in the area of growth zones. By application of the proposed method the authors operated on 12 children aged 3-15 years in connection with the benign tumors of finger phalanx bones. Long-term results were followed up with all patients during 1-5 years.

[Inhibition of the transport of citrate during ADP-ribosylation of inner membrane proteins of the mitochondria].

The ability of rat liver submitochondrial particles to catalyze NAD+ hydrolysis with a transfer of ADP-ribose residues to protein membranes has been demonstrated ADP-ribosylation is directly dependent on NAD+ concentration upon saturation with 1 mM NAD+ and is inhibited by physiological compounds (e.g., ATP, 10 mM; nicotinamide, 10 mM); besides, it is an artificial acceptor of ADP-ribose, arginine methyl ester.

[Loss of CpG dinucleotides from DNA. VI. Methylation of mitochondrial and chloroplast genes].

From nucleotide sequences of mitochondrial and chloroplast genes the probable frequency of the CpG----TpG + CpA substitutions was determined. These substitutions may indicate the level of prior DNA methylation. It was found that the level of this methylation is significantly lower in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and chloroplast DNA (chDNA) than in nuclear DNA (nDNA) of the same species.
