In article questions of influence on a human body of replacement of dairy fat on artificial substitutes of fat in dairy products are taken up. Possible ways of biotransformation of artificial substi-tutes of dairy fat by microflora of intestines and alternative approaches to manufacture of low-calorie dairy products are considered.

Comparative analysis of remote results of transluminal balloon angioplasty in treatment of lower limb critical ischaemia in groups of patients with and without diabetes mellitus.

All the hitherto conducted studies aimed at determining the efficacy of transluminal balloon angioplasty (TLBAP) in patients presenting with lower limb critical ischaemia (LLCI) have either dealt with the whole population of the patients involved, including a large proportion therein of patients with simultaneously present diabetes mellitus (DM), or solely investigated a group of patients suffering exclusively from diabetic foot syndrome. There has virtually been no information about non-diabetic patients, thus casting reasonable doubts upon feasibility of subjecting them to TLBAP, especially in the situation wherein there does exist a surgical alternative. In order to elucidate the problem concerned, we performed a comparative analysis of the incidence rate of freedom from LLCI relapses following TLBAP in diabetic versus non-diabetic patients.
