[The weakened form of familial adenomatosis: clinical and genetic characteristics and methods of treatment].

Clinical and genetic analysis of 24 Russian patients with attenuated form of family colon adenomatosis was undertaken. On the basis of obtained clinical and genetic data it was defined the algorithm of therapeutic measures in this group of patients--from dynamic monitoring or endoscopic polypectomy to performing extensive resections of the colon in situations associated with cancer development, an increase of the intensity of growth of polyps or an appearance of villous lesions. Some of the patients had molecular-genetics causes of a weakened form of family adenomatosis.

[The comparative analysis of the surgical treatment of the familial adenomatosis of the colon with the use of cell transplantation].

Authors represent the surgical technique of colectomy with preserving the natural intestinal passage in the treatment of the familial colic adenomatosis. The technique is based on the preserving the distal part of the rectum with its demucosation and connecting with the ileal conduit. The rectal mucosa reconstruction is performed with the use of allogenic transplantation of fetal intestinal cells.

[Rehabilitation of operated patients with diffuse polyposis of the large intestine].

In 1965 to 2000, the State Coloproctology Research Center operated on 584 patients for diffuse polyposis of the large intestine. A 18-year follow-up showed that metabolic disorders developed in 85% of cases due to the loss of large intestine that is important for maintaining homeostasis. The authors consider it necessary to continuously follow up the patients operated on for diffuse polyposis for timely diagnosis of occurring metabolic disorders and their correction.

[Variational chronoreflexometric evaluation of the central nervous system functions in elementary school children with mental retardation].

Parameters of variational chronoreflexometry variation curve of distribution were shown to correlate with the level of mental development in mentally retarded children. The borderline values of the CNS function condition's criteria were determined for both normal children and those mentally retarded. A feasibility of assessing the interhemisphere functional asymmetry by means o this particular method, was shown.

[The psychological status of workers subjected to noise exposure].

Mental health was examined in workers from a reinforced concrete plant and a thermal electric power station who were exposed to intensive noise at work. Noise was shown to have an adverse effect on their body's function. Higher occupational doses were found to result in the asthenic syndrome, to impair psychic processes along with the most profound emotional and volitional changes.
