Material And Methods: 91 patients with sequelae of small intestine resection in different terms after the operation were surveyed. Patients were assessed for clinical symptoms on a scale "Method of evaluating intestinal failure after gastric resection", in our own modifications, clinical-laboratory and biochemical blood examination, ultrasound examination of abdominal cavity and kidneys, x-ray examination of the gastrointestinal tract, esophagogastroduodenoscopy with histological examination of the mucosa. We determined the scatology, the consistency of the feces on the Bristol scale, concentration and profile of short chain fatty acids in coprofiltrates.
Osteoporosis was modeled in rats by chronic (6 months) treatment with omeprazole or serotonin, and bone tissue status was studied in experimental hepatic fibrosis and during serotonin treatment under conditions of hepatic fibrosis. Serum levels of calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, albumins, and creatinine and bone tissue levels of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron were measured. Treatment with mesenchymal stem cells over 6 months reduced the severity of osteoporosis.

Subjects And Methods: Sixty-seven patients with chronic diffuse liver diseases were examined. ALT, AST, gamma-GTP, and ALP were determined as indirect indicators of fibrosis.
Aim: To study the effect of the drug metadoxin on drug-metabolizing liver function in patients with liver lesions alcoholic etiology (ALD).
Materials And Methods: 36 patients with ALD, of which 16 patients were diagnosed with hepatitis, while 20 - with the liver cirrhosis. All the patients underwent biochemical blood analysis and the study of drug-metabolizing liver function according to the pharmacokinetics of antipyrine in saliva before and after treatment with metadoxin.

We presented the results of our research in comparison with the literature on the etiology, pathogenesis and diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) at liver cirrhosis (LC), complicated by ascites. Based on these data, was proposed a classification of SBP. Were identified criteria for early diagnosis of SBP on the basis of clinical manifestations of bacterial peritonitis, systemic inflammatory response, results of studies of ascitic fluid (AF) using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

A total of 129 patients with CP (96 males and 33 females), mean age 46,9 +/- 9,2 years, were distributed to the groups with uncomplicated and complicated course. A study of nitric oxide in the blood as an additional criterion for acute CP.

Accession intrahepatic cholestasis (field surgery) for chronic liver disease alters its course, aggravates the condition of the patient, reduces the immune system, leads to development of severe septic complications, significantly reduces the quality of life (QoL) and worsens the prognosis.

Material And Methods: We examined 875 CHD patients with IHC with evaluation of the levels of the enzymes, biliary acids (BA), lipids, characteristics of hemostasis and phosphocalcium metabolism in blood. We also studied correlations and changes of the above parameters in IHC of different etiology.
The pharmacokinetics of iron oral medication in was studied in patients with liver cirhorosis. In patients with hepatocellular insufficiency and high level of gepsidin found a decrease of the iron absorption constant, which led to a change in pharmacokinetic parameters. Tests on the absorption of iron have been conducted in 25 patients with liver cirrhosis, 36% of them showed a decrease of iron absorption, which led to the decrease in the efficiency of subsequent iron therapy.

The introduction of DSS induces the formation of lesions of the colon mucosa of different severity, which is accompanied by increased synthesis of NO and the stable metabolite of NO - citrulline. Inhibition of NO-synthase reduces the release of NO and the formation of lesions of the colon.

Subjects And Methods: Densitometry of the lumbar vertebra and femoral neck (FN) was carried out in 47 patients with GSCD. Their sera were tested for 25OHD3, 1,25(OH)2D3, total alkaline phosphatase, calcium, phosphorus, parathyroid hormone (PTH), type 1 collagen type C-telopeptides (CrossLaps) and tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-alpha), as well as urinary creatinine and calcium.
Was made an investigation of the effectiveness of pantoprazole (sanpraz, "SanFarma", India) at gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). 53 patients with GERD, including 20--with reflux esophagitis, received a daily dose of pantoprazole 40 mg to 28 days. To the 7 day of treatment heartburn was broke in 63.

Hydrophilic angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) (lisinopril) which are not metabolized in the liver are theoretically safest in liver cirrhosis. We have examined and treated 180 patients with AH and assessed efficacy and tolerability of ACEI lisinopril and enalapril with consideration of their pharmacokinetic peculiarities in patients with various severity of involvement of the liver (steatosis or cirrhosis).

Working out of the new methodical approaches of diagnostics and treatment of spontaneous bacteriological peritonitis (SBP) in the patients with cirrhosis of the liver (CL). The ascitic liquid (AL) was examined in 35 patients with CL by the method of gas chromatography--mass-spectrometry (GCH-MS). The results of quantitative and qualitative examination of the chemical components--markers of potential infection (aerobe and anaerobe) with the GCH-MS method testify to the infected AL.
