[MORPHOFUNCTIONAL CONDITION OF THE UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT IN CHILDREN WITH OBESITY].

The article is about the characteristics of the morphofunctional state of the upper gastrointestinal tract (UGIT) in children with obesity. Under supervision there were 130 children aged 10-16 years: study group--80 children with obesity (42 boys and 38 girls) (SDS BMI 2.0), the comparison group--50 children with normal body weight (32 boys and 18 girls) (SDS BMI from -0.

[The metabolic syndrome in children: resolved and unresolved questions of ethiopathogenesis (review of literature)].

The article raises the question of modern views on pathogenesis and algorithms for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in children. It shows the close relationship of violations of the morphofunctional state of the hepatobiliary system and pancreas with the development of hormonal-metabolic disorders.

[Peculiarities of functional status and microbiocenosis of the intestines in children with metabolic syndrome].

The article is devoted to the study of the functional state and microbiocenosis of intestines in children with a metabolic syndrome based on the study of the qualitative and quantitative composition of short-chain fatty acids in feces and blood serum. The results of the study showed that children with MS have a high rate of registered functional disorders of the intestine, characterized by the change of the nature of the chair and the results of scatological and biochemical tests. Disbiotic violations, accompanied by a reduction in the number and the metabolic activity of the indigenous microflora, change in the activity of anaerobic microorganisms were identified, which manifests itself as characteristic changes of qualitative and quantitative composition of the SHQ in the feces and blood serum.

[Gallstone disease in children with obesity].

Based on the authors own research shown a relationship of metabolic disorders in children with GSD with the metabolic syndrome. Studied the parameters of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in children with both abdominal and endocrine obesity. Was shown the Significance a high direct correlation in children with cholelithiasis on the background of obesity and metabolic syndrome.

[The role of metabolism disorders in genesis of gallstone disease in children].

Identified changes lipid metabolism in children with biliary disease, characteristic of the metabolic syndrome. The correlation between indices of lipid metabolism with body weight in children with cholelithiasis. However, the degree of impairment of carbohydrate metabolism was independent of body mass index.

[Characteristics of morphofunctional state of the pancreas in children with metabolic syndrome].

The paper presents the results of a study of the morphofunctional state of the pancreas in children with metabolic syndrome. It is shown that in the absolute majority of children identified various changes in the structure of the pancreas. Decrease Postprandial response and uneven increase in gland due to a head in the postprandial period, indicating a decrease in body adaptation abilities and a high risk of pancreatitis in children with MS.

[Morphofunctional condition of the pancreas in children and teenagers with obesity and metabolic syndrome].

30 childs and teenagers (6- 15-years-old) were examined (16 boys and 14 girls). The signs of metabolic syndrome were revealed in 13 persons (43%) (VOZ, 1999). Echogenicity of pancreatic acinar tissue was reinforced in all persons with obesity, (80%) hyperechogenic inclusions were observed in 67% of the patients.
