[Noninvasive assessment of age-related changes in female skin microrelief].

Age-related changes in female skin microrelief (33 nonsmoking women at the age from 17 to 80 years) were analyzed by the use of VISIOSCAN VS 98. Measurements were taken on inner side of left forearm at the distance of 2 cm away from the bend of the elbow. It was demonstrated that most responsive indicators of skin chronological aging in magnitudes of correlation coefficient (R) and time increment (I) of age-related changes are the following skin microrelief parameters: V(relievo), R = 0.

[Changes in skin microrelief of smoking and nonsmoking women of different age].

Age-related changes in female skin microrelief (82 nonsmoking and smoking women at the age from 17 to 80 years) were analyzed by the use of VISIOSCAN VS 98. Measurements were taken on inner side of left forearm at the distance of 2 cm away from the bend of elbow. It was demonstrated that such parameters as relievo (V) and roughness (Ser) increased respectively by a factor of 1,23 and 1,50 times in average in group of smoking women of 17 to 28 years old as compared with nonsmoking women of age mate.

[Resection of the stomach with Roux anastomosis].

Results of surgical treatment of patients with gastric ulcer and cancer of the stomach using resection of the stomach with Roux technique were analyzed. Acid-producing and evacuatory functions of the stomach were assessed in different periods after surgery. Dynamic scintigraphy provided evaluation of indices of duodenogastric reflux and state of gastric mucous barrier after various types of surgeries.

[Comparative characteristics of efficacy of operations in ulcerous pyloroduodenal stenosis].

1107 patients with ulcerous pyloroduodenal stenosis (UPDS) were operated since 1968 to 2000. Duodenal ulcers caused stenosis in 1053 (95%) patients, gastric ulcers of types II and III--in 54 (5%). Various stomach resections were performed in 287 (92%) patients organ-saving operations--in 795 (71.
