[Possibility of the liver ultrastructure recovery in intoxication with heavy metals salts].

Experimental studies helped to reveal ultrastructural changes in hepatocytes, caused by prolonged exposure to heavy metals salts taken in combination and ratios characteristic to soil contents near Almalyk mining and smelting enterprise. The authors demonstrated possibility of liver structural recovery via enterosorption with additional antioxidant therapy.

[Method of surgical treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease].

A new method of surgical treatment of sliding hiatal hernia is proposed to improve the results of treatment of patients with the gastroesophageal reflux disease. Successful treatment of 5 operations followed up for more than a year is described.

[Method for gastric resection with end-to-end gastroduodenal anastomosis].

The authors suggest a method of stomach resection in which the gastroduodenal anastomosis is created by applying sutures to the layers after separating the sheaths of the organs into layers. The inner sheaths (muco-submucous) of the organs are butt joined after their excision almost at the base, while the outer sheaths (seromuscular) are sutured with rarely placed crimping sutures. The rare placing of the sutures and moderately tight tying of the ligatures prevent impairment of tissue nutrition, whereas crimping of the outer sheath provides wide contact of the serosa.

[The isolation of Helicobacter pylori from the gastric juice].

Gastric contents was examined in 49 patients with duodenal bulb ulcers. Helicobacter pylori were isolated in 83.7% of cases.

[The determination of C. pylori in patients with gastroduodenal diseases].

A total of 46 gastric mucosa biopsy specimens obtained during surgery and 90 gastric juice samples from patients with gastroduodenal diseases were examined. Campylobacter-like microorganisms were detected in 84.6 percent of biopsy specimens and in 73.
