[Results of combined treatment of patients with metastatic gastric cancer. Case study].

We present the clinical observation of combined treatment of a patient with metastatic gastric cancer. The patient underwent combined chemotherapy for initially inoperable gastric cancer with metastases to the liver, paragastric lymph nodes, and peritoneal carcinomatosis with complete regression of distant metastases, which allowed radical surgery. The patient is currently under regular team observation without signs of disease.

[The biomechanical properties of the crystalline lens capsule in emmetropia and myopia].

Morphometric and electronmicroscopic studies of the capsule of a clear lens depending on the degree of myopia and age as compared with the capsule of a clear lens in emmetropia and myopia have shown that with age the anterior capsule of a clear lens becomes thicker, while the posterior capsule becomes thinner and increases in length. This is connected with the weakening of accommodation in the presence of different curvature of the anterior and posterior surfaces of the lens on the background of the lowering of the metabolic level in elderly persons. In myopia, with the development of age changes the thickness of the lens capsule remains almost unchanged.
