[Immediate and late follow-up results of surgical and combined treatment of patients with colonic cancer of various localization in right half of the colon].

Comparative estimation of immediate and late follow-up results of treatment was con- ducted in 520 patients, suffering cancer of the colonic right half, including coecum - in 227 (43.7% ± 2.1%), colon ascendum - in 159(30.

[Prognosis of cognitive deficit progression in aged patients with mild cognitive impairment under prolonged therapy (a three year observation)].

The aim of the study was to predict treatment efficacy in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and to find the most reliable clinical tests for the prediction of dementia. Patients with amnestic MCI (n=53) were treated with cerebrolysin for three years and underwent regularly neurocognitive and clinical psychiatric tests. The data were analyzed using non-parametric statistics, cluster analysis, and linear discriminate analysis.

[The complex neurochemical assessment of brain proteins in mentally healthy subjects and schizophrenic patients].

Relative amounts of the glutamate metabolizing enzymes - glutamine synthetase, glutamine synthetase-like protein, three isoenzymes of glutamate dehydrogenase as well as creatine phosphokinase (a main astroglial energy metabolism enzyme) and major proteins of astro- and oligodendroglia - a glial fibrillary acidic protein and a myelin basic protein were determined in postmortem brain extracts from three areas - the prefrontal cortex, caudate nucleus and cerebellum - from mentally healthy subjects (n=21) and patients with chronic schizophrenia (n=23). To single out "metabolic types" the data obtained have been subjected to cluster analysis. It has been demonstrated for the first time that the cluster analysis of the biological parameters (enzymes and proteins) with correction for age, gender, postmortem interval and presence/absence of diagnosis, enables to distinguish "mentally healthy" cases and "schizophrenic patients" with a high degree of significance (mean mixing error <20%, small er, Cyrillic>>0,00004).

[The experience of diagnostic and surgical treatment of Barrett's oesophagus].

There were analyzed five-year late results of prospective investigation on surgical treatment of 23 patients, suffering long-segment Barrett's esophagus (BE). Esophagoplasty and esophagocardioplasty was performed in 7 (30.4%) patients and total fundoplication in combination with endoscopic ablation of metaplastic epithelium--in 16 (69.
