[The dynamics of the catecholamine level in the biological fluids of patients with chronic posttraumatic osteomyelitis living in different ecological regions].

Overall, sixty-seven patients living in different ecological regions were examined to study effects of ecological factors on the catecholamine concentration in biological fluids in patients with chronic posttraumatic osteomyelitis (CPO). The data obtained showed that CPO causes abnormalities of catecholamine metabolism, which get even more aggravated under the influence of an adverse ecological factor, an abnormal radiation impact in particular, this being confirmed by analysis of findings in those patients residing in different ecological regions.

[Human physiological blood protection systems in the late periods after ionizing radiation exposure related to the accident at the Chernobyl Atomic Electric Power Station].

During a 5-year follow-up of rescue party members exposed to radioactive effects of the Chernobyl accident no material changes were observed versus healthy donors in the content of calcium, cholesterol, atherogenic lipoproteins, dienic conjugates, insulin, thyroxin, triiodothyronine, thyroglobulin, IgA, IgG and fibrinogen. Inhibition of peroxidation and emergence of hypocoagulation are attributed to a reduced respiratory splash of the neutrophils. Concentrations of hydrocortisone, testosterone, IgM rose, while the activity of some antioxidant enzymes remained stable.

[Results of the treatment of patients with post-traumatic osteomyelitis].

The author cites the nearest and remote (up to 13 years) results of treatment of 152 patients with posttraumatic osteomyelitis of the bones of crus and femur. On the basis of analysis of clinical data there are recommended the terms (3-6 months) of radical-restorative operations in patients with osteomyelitis and is drawn attention to the considerable frequency of the joint contractures.

[The morphofunctional characteristics of initial atherosclerotic changes in the arteries of the base of the brain].

Literary data on the morphogenesis of prelipid changes in the basal arteries of the brain are scarce. This concerns also data on the antiaggregation activity of the vessel wall in this location. It was established that the antiaggregation activity of the vessel wall depended on the grade of its involvement by the atherosclerotic process.

[Complex treatment of patients with chronic osteomyelitis using osteoplasty].

The work presents results of free bone autoplasty in 312 patients with chronic osteomyelitis of long bones. Complications were observed in 26.9% of the patients in the postoperative period.

[Effect of the vascular wall polypeptide factor vasonin on hemostatic function in an experimental peroxidation syndrome].

The process of blood coagulation was found to be activated in the peroxidation syndrome caused by the use of antioxidant-free diet. Vasonin prevents the development of hypercoagulation in rabbits at the peroxidation syndrome but fails to prevent the development of the latter.

[Effect of jogging on lipid peroxidation, blood coagulation and anti-aggregation properties of the vascular wall].

In a group of volunteers of different age, engaged in health-improving running for various time, a level of antioxidants and a capacity of vascular wall to synthesize the antiaggregating substances were increased as well as blood coagulation parameters were decreased. These alterations were especially important for men because of the favourable effect of the running on blood rheology and microcirculation as well as on metabolism of cell and tissues.
