[The choice of the treatment and surgical intervention for patients with fractures and dislocation fractures of front and middle parts of the foot].

For the period from 2004 till 2009 142 patients were observed in our clinic. We were able to follow up 53 of the 74 patients in the main group and 49 of the 68 ones in the control group for 12 months. The majority of injuries were located in the front area of foot; most of them were dislocation fractures.

[Diagnostic and prognostic significance of characteristics of serum interferon antiviral activity in chronic and acute diffuse liver diseases].

The interferon (IFN-alpha) level and its antiviral activity were investigated in 236 patients, suffered from the chronic diffuse liver disease (CDLD), including 121 patient with chronic hepatitis (CH), 115 patients with hepatocirrhosis (HC) and 26 patients with acute viral hepatitis (AVH). This permitted to elaborate the pathogenetic and prognostic value of these indices in CH, AVH and HC. The analysis of the variations of IFN-alpha antiviral activity in patients with CDLD in dependence on the etiology, activity of the pathologic process, CH stages by CHild-Pugh graduation, the presence of the portal hypertension and its complications was carried out for the first time.

[Anti-Trichomonas activity of metronidazole in the presence of immunobiological preparations].

The minimal doses of metronidazole, capable of the irreversible immobilization of Trichomonas in the presence of one antiprotozoan preparation and after the addition of recombinant tumor necrosis factor (TNF), recombinant gamma-interferon and complex immunoglobulin preparation (CIP) into the culture medium, were determined on 4 T.vaginalis isolates, obtained on day 2 after the inoculation of material from the mucous membrane of the urogenital organs of patients (incubation at 37 degrees C). After 12-hour incubation of Trichomonas with immunobiological preparations their sensitivity to metronidazole increased 2-fold.

[A comparative study of the information value of the immunofluorescence and immunochromatographic identification of Chlamydia trachomatis antigens in smear material from the cervical canal and of the cytological picture of a vaginal discharge in pregnant women].

The cytological picture of the vaginal discharge and scrape material, obtained from 30 pregnant women of the control group (not infected with C.trachomatis) and 61 pregnant women with chlamydiosis; of these, in 42 women the comparative identification of chlamydiae by the methods of direct immunofluorescence and immunochromatography was carried out. Direct immunofluorescence was carried out with the use of a set of reagents "MicroTrak" (USA) and immunochromatographic identification was made with the use of a set of reagents "Clearview Chlamydia" (Britain).

[Effects of dosed sympathectomy on the development of adaptation-compensation reaction of C-cells of the thyroid gland and chromaffin cells of the adrenal glands in young rats].

Using radioimmunological, morphometrical, electron microscopic and luminescent methods, comparative analysis of thyroid C-cells and adrenal chromaffin cells has been carried out at guanethidine sympathectomy in young rats. Significant decrease of functional activity of C-cells with concomitant hyperplasia of C-cells population under blockade of sympathetic influences has been revealed. Compared to C-cells, adrenal chromaffinocytes of sympathectomized rats possess higher degree of structural-functional mobilization and are characterized by intensive secretion of catecholamines directed at restoration of tissue neurotransmitter deficit.
