[Plasma lipids oxidation in patients with occlusive atherosclerosis of lower extremities and ischemic heart disease].

Dynamics of lipoprotein oxidation in blood plasma was studied by Cu-induced plasma oxidation in 114 patients with atherosclerosis of lower extremities of various severity with and without ischemic heart disease. Preparedness of plasma lipoproteins to oxidation in patients was higher than in healthy subjects. Degree of oxidizeability increased with increase of severity and extent of atherosclerosis and was highest in patients with atherosclerosis of lower extremities and ischemic heart disease.

[Ultrasound investigation and mini-invasive ultrasound-assisted technologies in diagnosis and treatment of extra-organ separate fluid formations in abdominal cavity].

The authors discuss the use of ultrasound-assisted percutaneous puncture and drainage for diagnosis and treatment of extraorganic separate fluid formations in abdominal cavity (abscess, limited non-infected fluid formation, hematoma with clotted blood), determination of their sizes and obtaining material for laboratory study. 307 patients with various extraorganic separate fluid in formations in abdominal cavity were examined. Ultrasonic symptoms of abscess were described in 54 patients, of limited non-infected fluid formation--in 234, of hematoma with clotted blood in 19 patients.

[Obliterating arteriosclerosis of lower limb arteries and ischemic heart disease clinico-pathogenetic correlations].

To study clinical and pathogenetic correlations between different stages of arterial deficiency in obliterating atherosclerosis of lower limbs arteries (OALLA) and various clinical forms of ischemic heart disease (IHD) as well as the influence of different risk factors on OALLA clinical course in different arterial territories. The study included 76 OALLA patients (73 men and 3 women, mean age 56 years). The diagnosis was made on the basis of typical complaints, physical and device examinations.

[Immunomorphologic detection of apoprotein B antigenic determinants in the gallbladder wall in cholesterosis and cholelithiasis].

The presence and location of apoprotein B (Apo B) antigenic determinants in cholesterosis and cholelithiasis in gall bladder wall were detected for elaboration of modified Apo B role in pathogenesis of these diseases. Macroscopically changed parts of gall bladder (GB) wall of patients with gall bladder cholesterosis (GBC), and also macroscopically unchanged parts of GB wall of patients with cholelithiasis (CL) after cholecystectomy were studied. Macroscopically unchanged parts of GB wall obtained during autopsy of persons without symptoms of GB pathology were used as a control.

[Ultrasonic diagnosis of complications after bypass operations in lower extremities arteries].

After reconstructive vascular operations the patients need dynamic control and non-invasive monitoring. The purpose of the study was to reveal the potential of duplex scanning (DS) in assessment of bypasses function and diagnosis of postoperative complications. 148 patients after aorto-femoral and femoro-popliteal bypass, including patients with late postoperative complications (shunt thrombosis, stenosis or spurious aneurysm of anastomosis) were examined.
