[Evaluation of the double bonds of lipid fatty acids by ozonization in cancer patients].

The diagnostic value of total unsaturation of plasma lipids was studied by ozonization in 950 patients with malignant neoplasms. An examination was made on their primary admission. The control group included 470 patients with chronic benign diseases of the studied sites and 205 clinically healthy persons.

[Radionuclide studies on the hormonal manifestations of heat stress in cancer patients under controlled total hyperthermia].

The results of the investigations of ACTH, HGH, hydrocortisone, glucagon, C-peptide, insulin in 180 patients with advanced and metastatic melanomas, soft tissue sarcomas, lung cancers and renal cell carcinomas testify to the development of the syndrome of endocrine hyperfunction in patients under whole-body guided hyperthermia as well as of functional pancreas insufficiency. The data presented form a biochemical basis for working out measures to optimally carry out whole-body hyperthermia treatment, aimed at increasing the range of indications for its use in clinical oncology.

[The effect of whole-body controlled hyperthermia on the energy resources of cancer patients].

The results of examination of 120 patients with advanced malignant melanoma, soft tissue sarcomas and lung and renal cancer suggest disturbance in mechanisms of energy supply during whole-body guided hyperthermia. Cell glucose uptake was inhibited in hyperglycemic patients. High energy loss in due to utilization of such alternative substrates as lipids and proteins which, in turn, potentiates peroxidation of lipids toxic to cell membranes.
