THE DYNAMICS OF LIPID METABOLISM IN PATIENTS WITH MORBID OBESITY DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF PERFORMED SURGERY.

The objective of the study - to determine changes in the lipidogram (total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) as a component of the metabolic syndrome in patients suffering from morbid obesity after bariatric surgery (biliopancreatic bypass surgery, laparoscopic gastric banding, laparoscopic longitudinal gastric resection). The study was based on 166 clinical cases. To achieve this goal, patients were divided into three groups according to the type of surgery underground.

[Comparative characteristics of pathogenesis of chronic gastroduodenetic pathology in servicemen from different professional groups].

345 servicemen from Air Forces were being examined. That group consisted of 105 servicemen working in deepened special constructions (DSC), 62 from flying staff and 178 from compact sampling. Statistical processing of questionnaire results and the data of gastroenterological examination have shown that main well-known ethiopathogenetic factors influence negatively during the course of chronic gastroduodenetic pathology in servicemen.

[Role of endoscopy in diagnosing rare sources of small intestinal bleedings due to vascular disorders].

The authors describe two cases of intraoperative endoscopic diagnosis of hemangioma and vasculitis of the small intestine. The examination was conducted during laparotomy by colonoileoscopy and enterotomy. The authors believe this method to be most effective in emergency surgery when the operation cannot be postponed because of the patient's severe condition caused by hemorrhagic shock.

[Pathogenesis of esophagitis in patients with portal hypertension].

Acidogenic function of the stomach and role of gastroesophageal reflux were assessed in relation to esophagitis genesis in 92 patients with portal hypertension and varicosity of the stomach and esophagus. Acidogenic function was found heterogenous. The relationship between gastric acidity, gastroesophageal reflux and esophagitis development seemed obscure, whereas that between esophageal varicosity of a definite degree and esophagitis was clear-cut.
