[Surgical treatment of septicopyemic form of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children].

The results of treatment of 175 children with a septicopyemic form of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis were analyzed. A method of surgical treatment using an original device for osteopuncture and intraosseous infusions was introduced in the clinic with regard to the results of studying morphological features of changes in the contents of the intramedullary canal. This surgical strategy allowed shortening the period of hospital treatment, reduction of the number of complications and avoidance of lethal outcomes of children with the septicopyemic form of the disease.

[Structural organization of the glandular apparatus of the cecum in aged and elderly persons].

By macro- and microscopic methods structural and functional peculiarities of glands of coecum were studied in 45 healthy people who died at the age of 60-92. It was demonstrated that glands of different regions of the coecal wall displayed significant morphological peculiarities. In zones of free, omental and mesenterial bands the density of coecal glands arrangement was in all cases higher than between bands.

[Morphological characteristics of glands of the ileocecal angle sphincter region in adults].

Structural feature of the large intestine glands (Liberkun crypts), located in the thickness of the ileocoecal angle valve and in the zone of appendix valve were studied using macro-microscopic methods. The material was obtained from cadaveres of 28 men and women who died at the age of 60-67. The causes of their deaths were not associated with digestive or immune system pathology.

[Superior mesenteric lymph nodes in adult humans of different body constitution types].

The number of superior mesenteric lymph nodes regional for small intestine and its mesentery ranges from 66 to 232 in adults with brachymorphic type of constitution, from 85 to 404 in those with mesomorphic type of constitution and from 105 to 327 in adults with dolichomorphic type of constitution. Average lymph node number equals 159 in subjects with brachymorphic type of constitution and it is 212 and 175 in subjects with dolichomorphic and mesomorphic types of constitution respectively. Dimensions of lymph nodes studied varied from 1 x 1 x 1 to 52 x 10 x 5 mm in adults with brachymorphic type of constitution, from 1 x 1 x 1 to 40 x 8 x 4 mm in those with mesomorphic type of constitution and from 1 x 1 x 1 to 38 x 8 x 4 mm.

[Is there an intestinal lymphatic trunk in man?].

As the analysis of the literature demonstrates, in spite of a rather wide use of the term "tr. intestinalis" and its inclusion into the PNA, it is still not clear what should be understood under this term concerning the human being. It has been stated, by means of coloured mass injections into the efferent lymphatic vessels of the hepatic, celiac and superior mesenteric lymph nodes, that there is no common efferent lymphatic trunk as a result of fusion of these vessels mentioned above.

[Sex characteristics of the anatomy of the superior mesenteric lymph nodes in an adult].

In 60 corpses of grown-up persons at the age of 21-90 years the number, size and form of the superior mesenteric lymph nodes and their vessels have been investigated. The lymph nodes in question, their afferent and deferent vessels have been revealed by means of interstitial injection of coloured masses into the small intestine wall, and subsequent injection of the lymph nodes situated in the mesentery. Certain sex differences have been revealed in the number, size and form of the superior mesenteric lymph nodes and their vessels.

[Anatomy and topography of adult human mesenteric lymph nodes].

Topography, number and age changes of the mesenteric lymph nodes in the small intestine have been studied in 40 corpses of both sex at the age of 21-90 years. The mesenteric lymph nodes, their afferent and deferent vessels have been revealed by the method of intersticial injection of coloured masses into the small intestinal wall, as well as by a direct injection of the lymph nodes studied in the mesentery. Variability in the total number of the mesenteric lymph nodes has been demonstrated; topographic borders of separate groups of the mesenteric lymph nodes have been stated; topography of the lymph nodes as regards the mesenteric blood vessels has been described.

[External intestinal fistulae].

The authors describe external intestinal fistulae found within 11 years at 5000 urgent operations on abdominal organs in 56 patients. 20 of them showed fistulae of appendicular origin, 15 developed fistulae following various traumas of abdominal organs, 1--after intestinal ileus, in 3 cases fistulae were due to incarceration of hernia, in 17 cases external fistulae were applied in intestinal neoplasms. Small gut fistulae were noted in 15, colon fistulae--in 41 patients.
