[Gastroesophageal reflux after laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair in patients with axial hiatal hernia].

Objective: To find out significance of the main locking mechanisms of lower esophageal sphincter in the relapse of GERD in patients with axial hiatal hernia after previous antireflux laparoscopic surgery.

Material And Methods: There were 103 patients with GERD and axial hiatal hernia who underwent original circular laparoscopic esophagofundoplication with correction of hiatal opening dimensions by crural and hiatal repair. Depending on generalized DeMeester index (within the normal range or its excess), all patients were divided into two groups - without relapse (group 1, =88) and with recurrent GERD (group 2, =15).

[Endoscopic surgery for benign diseases and injuries of the esophagus (with commentary)].

Aim: To analyze the results of surgical treatment of patients with benign diseases and injuries of the esophagus.

Material And Methods: We summarized the experience of different endoscopic interventions in 159 patients with various benign diseases and perforation of the esophagus. Patients with achalasia (72 cases) underwent videolaparoscopic Geller's esophagomyotomy with anterior hemiesophagofundoplication by Dor.

[Endosurgery of benign diseases and injuries of esophagus].

Aim: To analyze the results of endoscopic interventions for benign diseases and injuries of the esophagus.

Material And Methods: 159 patients with benign diseases and perforation of the esophagus were operated. There were 72 (45.

[Epidemiology and prophylaxis of septic infectious complications in patients from critical and intensive therapy surgical units].

Aim: To investigate efficacy of the extended complex of preventive and antiepidemic measures for reduction of nosocomial infections incidence in patients treated in critical and intensive therapy (CIT) surgical units.

Material And Methods: From 2003 to 2005 CIT units of N.N.

[Effect of solubilization by methylethylketone of rat liver mitochondrial monoamine oxidase on inhibition by clorgyline and deprenyl of the enzyme activity].

A comparative study of the inhibitory effect of clorgyline and deprenyl on serotonin, beta-phenylethylamine and tyramine deamination by intact mitochondria as well as by solubilized with methylethylketone and partially purified monoamine oxidase (MAO) from rat liver was carried out. The effect of 4-ethylpyridine on this process was investigated. After solubilization of MAO by methylethylketone 7% of mitochondrial activity passes into solution and the rate of deamination of serotonin, tyramine and beta-phenylethylamine by soluble MAO preparation is selectively decreased.
