[Clinical finding and treatment of festered hepatic echinococcosis].

Results of treatment of 72 patients with festered hepatic echinococcosis were analyzed. Ultrasonic examination was the main method of examination. Method of residual cavity liquidation was determined by localization of cyst.

[Temporary distance shunting of the anastomosis with a probe shunt].

The authors present results of using temporary shunting of intestinal anastomosis in combination with selective lavage of the suture line with a curative antiseptic mixture in experiment in 12 dogs and in clinic in 36 patients with a probe of the authors' original construction. The probe consists of a polychlorvenyl tube with the inner diameter 0.8-1.

[Hemorheological indices in patients with amebic abscesses of the liver and their correction].

Hemorheological indices were studied in 89 patients. In 61 patients the authors have revealed somewhat increased viscosity potential of blood and negligible changes in the aggregation activity of erythrocytes which is thought by the authors to be due to the saved compensatory potentialities of the organism. In 28 patients with the complicated course of the disease the rheological parameters of blood became worse because of the suppressed compensatory potentialities of organism.

[Associated lesions of the liver by amebiasis and echinococcosis].

Diagnosis and treatment of combined damage to the liver by echinococcosis and amebiasis were analyzed in 36 patients. The clinical picture in this combination depends on the phase, localization and sizes of a focal lesion. The authors consider ultrasound to be a basic diagnostic method that clarifies the nature of the contents of cavities, which will aid in making a correct diagnosis.

[The immune status and hemorheological indices in patients with an amebic liver abscess].

The immune status and hemorheological indices were studied in 95 patients with amebic abscess of the liver. Changes in the immune status and hemorheological indices were detected according to the clinical course of the disease. In cases of complications appearing during the disease the patients needed immunostimulating therapy and administration of desaggregants.
