Effect of intravenous low-intensity laser irradiation of the blood on clinical and laboratory parameters of hepatocellular insufficiency.

Patients with hepatocellular insufficiency received a course of intravenous laser irradiation of the blood. After the treatment, a positive dynamics of clinical and biochemical indices of the major hepatic syndromes was observed: alleviation of the major clinical symptoms and significant positive changes in biochemical parameters (AST, ALT, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, and total cholesterol).

[Estimation of the hydrodynamical characteristics of the end-to-loop gastroenteroanastomosis].

The article presents the results of a study of the hydrodynamical characteristics of the end-to-loop gastroenteroanastomosis by the method of multichannel intraluminal manometry. The study was carried out on 7 outbreed dogs. The function of anastomosis was studied at the constant speed of liquid passage as well as at modeling short-term rises of pressure similar to those created by stomach and gut peristalsis.
