[Benign tumors of the esophagus].

The authors make an analysis of 30 observations of benign tumors of the esophagus (1979-1989). In 13 patients the tumors were found occasionally during the X-ray endoscopic examination, in 7 patients only the diagnosis was established on the basis of their complains, medical history and findings of an instrumental examination. A histological investigation has diagnosed leiomyoma in 10 patients, polyps in 7 patients and fibroma in 1 patient.

[Autologous bone marrow transfusion in the combined treatment of cancer of the thoracic segment of the esophagus].

Transplantation of autologous bone marrow was performed in 62 patients with carcinoma of the thoracic portion of the esophagus for prophylactics of disturbance of hemopoiesis and severe infectious complications in the postoperative period. With the help of myelokariocytopheresis procurement of the bone marrow was made 2-3 days before starting preoperative radiotherapy. After exfusion of the bone marrow mixture erythrocytes were separated and returned completely and immediately to the patient, myelokaryocytes being frozen.

[Dynamic esophageal scintigraphy by a condensed imaging method].

The paper is concerned with preliminary evaluation of a method of condensed imaging during processing of the results of dynamic esophageal scintigraphy to detect motor evacuatory function of the esophagus. Altogether 34 patients (20 patients with primary esophageal cancer and 14 without G. I.

[Radionuclide diagnosis of disorders of the central lymph dynamics in thoracic duct pathology].

The experience in using radiolymphography in the diagnosis of central lymph dynamics disorders in thoracic duct pathology has been analysed. For the first time in Soviet literature we encounter two observations over the state of lymph dynamics along the thoracic duct by means of lymphoscintigraphy with colloid 113mIn in patients with lymphangiectasia of the thoracic duct and chylothorax. In importance of lymphoscintigraphy in determining the compensatory mechanisms of the lymph flow in primary pathology of the main lymph collector is emphasized.

[Evaluation of the nucleolar organizer activity of tumor cells in patients with esophageal and stomach cancers].

Silver impregnation findings of normal and cancer cell nucleoli are given for 30 cancer patients with esophageal (16) and gastric (14) carcinoma and 5 controls. It has been shown that the content of silver granules per cell (35.3 +/- 2.
