Mid-term results of endovascular revascularization through primary retrograde distal access.

Objective: To evaluate the mid-term results of endovascular revascularization of the lower extremities through primary retrograde distal approach.

Material And Methods: We prospectively analyzed the mid-term results of 74 endovascular surgeries via primary retrograde distal approach in 69 patients with lower extremity ischemia. Mean age of patients was 68.

[Treatment of a woman with phlegmasia cerulea dolens complicated by massive pulmonary thromboembolism and intestinal haemorrhage].

Acute thrombosis of the lower limb deep veins remains one of the most common vascular diseases. It is characterised by formation of thrombotic masses in the system of the deep veins of the lower extremities. A serious complication associated with deep vein thrombosis is pulmonary embolism.

[Thrombosis of lower-limb deep veins: a present-day view on conservative treatment].

The article contains a review of the literature data concerning different variants of conservative treatment of patients suffering from lower limb deep vein thrombosis. This is accompanied and followed by demonstrating the manner of alterations in the views on using various anticoagulants, as well as analysing the attitude towards the place of compression therapy in treatment of patients with lower limb deep vein thrombosis.

Amino acids and their derivatives in tumour tissue from patients with breast cancer treated with Ukrain. Part VI.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the influence of Ukrain on the amino acids pool and their derivatives in tumour tissue of ten patients with breast cancer, treated in the preoperative phase with Ukrain. The control group consisted of five patients of similar age and advancement of the disease, who did not receive Ukrain. The data obtained indicate that Ukrain influences cancerous tissue, as demonstrated at the level of amino acids.

Amino acids and their derivatives in blood plasma of patients with breast cancer treated with Ukrain. Part V.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the influence of Ukrain on the free amino acids pool in blood plasma in ten patients with breast cancer, treated in the preoperative phase with the drug. The control group consisted of five patients of similar age and advancement of the disease, who did not receive Ukrain before mastectomy. The data obtained from these studies indicate that Ukrain positively influences the metabolism of amino acids and their derivatives.

Influence of Ukrain on patients with surgically treated breast cancer. Part IV. Electromicroscopic and cytochemical evaluation.

The present studies were undertaken to evaluate by light and by electron microscopy the influence of Ukrain on the morphology of breast cancer. The studies were carried out on material obtained from ten patients with breast cancer, treated preoperatively with Ukrain. Control material for the studies was obtained from patients of similar age and advancement of the disease, who did not receive Ukrain.

Influence of Ukrain on patients with surgically treated breast cancer. Part III. The immune system.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the influence of Ukrain on immune parameters in ten patients with breast cancer, treated with the drug in the preoperative phase. The control group consisted of eight patients of similar age and advancement of the disease, who did not receive Ukrain before mastectomy. The data were compared with the parameters obtained in 15 healthy blood donors.

Influence of Ukrain on patients with surgically treated breast cancer. Part II. Hormonal profile.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the influence of Ukrain on the hormonal status of ten patients with breast cancer, treated in the preoperative phase by Ukrain. A control group consisted of eight patients of similar age and advancement of the disease, who did not receive the drug before mastectomy. The data were compared to those obtained in ten healthy women of similar age.

Influence of Ukrain on patients with surgically treated breast cancer. Part I. Clinical and laboratory parameters.

Studies were undertaken to evaluate the influence of Ukrain on clinical and laboratory parameters in ten patients with breast cancer treated with the drug in the preoperative phase. The control group was composed of eight patients of similar age and advancement of the disease who did not receive Ukrain before mastectomy. Data from the present studies indicate that the drug is distinctly helpful from the surgical viewpoint by increasing tumour hardness and enlargement of metastatic lymph nodes.

Influence of Ukrain on breast cancer.

The influence of Ukrain on breast cancer was studied in ten women and monitored in each patient by clinical examination, mammography, ultrasonography, histopathology and immunofluorescence in the tissue material obtained after radical mastectomy performed ten days after discontinuation of the treatment. Observations accumulated during the study and analytical data support the view that Ukrain, by changing the antigenic expression of malignant cells, make them recognizable for the immune system which rejects them in a host-versus graft manner.

Influence of Ukrain on patients with surgically treated breast cancer (introductory remarks).

Studies were undertaken to evaluate the influence of Ukrain on the postoperative period in patients with breast cancer. The group under Ukrain medication was comprised of 10 patients in stage T1-3NO-1MO. The control group was comprised of 22 patients in the same clinical and laboratory staging as those treated with Ukrain in the first year of postoperative follow-up metastatic lymph nodes were observed in one patient from the control group.

[External and internal drainage in the surgery of inflammatory diseases of the gallbladder and extrahepatic bile ducts].

Of the 586 patients operated on for acute and chronic calculous cholecystitis, postcholecystectomy syndrome, 304 (51.8%) had external or internal drainage of the bile ducts been performed. External drainage was employed in 251, transduodenal papillosphincterotomy--in 87 patients, biliodigestive anastomosis was created in 52.

[Relations between plasma amino acid metabolism and the functional state of the liver in inflammatory diseases of the gallbladder].

In 70 patients with acute and chronic cholecystitis, a change in content of free amino acids in the blood, which confirms involvement of the liver into a pathologic process, is noted. Operative intervention aggravates metabolic disorders. By day 7-10 after the operation, the amino acid disbalance more pronounced in chronic course of the disease retains.

[Clinico-immunologic evaluation of the efficacy of bikarfen in allergic dermatoses].

It was found that the new native antihistamine and antiserotonin drug bicarphen possesses in patients with allergic dermatoses (eczema and neurodermatitis) more active antihistaminic, anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and antiallergic properties than commonly used drugs, particularly in cases with prevalence of exudative and allergic reactions of the immediate type. Normalization of rosette-forming T-lymphocytes and A and G immunoglobulins was essential.
