[Metabolic structures of the blood serum--markers of acute pancreatitis].

The goal of the study was to reveal the meaning of metabolic structures of the blood serum (BS) in the diagnostics of acute pancreatitis (AP). Along with standard methods of examination, cystalloscopical examination of the BS was conducted for 46 patients with AP. The BS of 22 healthy people was used as control.

[Crystallo-optic structures of bile in chronic acalculous cholecystitis].

A crystal optical study of the cystic bile under the conditions of compulsory dehydration in patients with acalculous cholecystitis made it possible to determine selective markers of lithogenic dyscholia according to the bile oversaturation with cholesterol, bilirubin and calcium. Chronic acalculous cholecystitis (CAC) is a chronic polyetiologic inflammatory disease of the gall-bladder (GB) combined with motor-tonic impairments of the bile-excreting tract function and with changes of physical and chemical properties and biochemical bile structure (dyscholia). CAC contributes to cholestasia, metabolic disorders and formation of calculi.
