[Effectiveness of the analgesic, tramal, in the treatment of patients with oncologic diseases].

Tramal, the drug produced by the "Grunenthal" firm (FRG) was used in the treatment of 478 patients with malignant neoplasms. In 24.46% patients, the side effects were noted, which were characteristic of the majority of analgetics and didn't threaten the life.

[Changes in the cytochemical indices and in the phagocytic activity of the leukocytes during the combined therapy of rectal cancer].

Changes of cytochemical indices and phagocytic activity of neutrophil granulocytes of the peripheral blood were revealed in patients with cancer of the rectum at different stages of combined treatment. These changes evidence an increase of vascular permeability and catabolism, disorders of energy resources, oxidation-reduction processes and functional activity of granulocytes. The dynamics of changes of cytochemical indices of leucocytes reflect the efficacy of different methods of treatment and prophylaxis of postoperative purulent complications.

[Use of ultraviolet irradiation of the blood after surgery in patients with tumors].

The results of ultra-violet irradiation of the blood in 207 patients after performance of thoracoabdominal operation for cancer of the esophagus and stomach were analysed. The method permits to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications, manifestations of endogenous intoxication, contributes to improvement in metabolic processes, and normalization of the state of the patients.

[Biochemical criteria of early diagnosis of postoperative pancreatitis in oncologic patients].

With the aim of diagnosis of postoperative pancreatitis in 88 oncologic patients operated on for malignant tumors of the upper alimentary canal and pancreatoduodenal zone, including those with trauma or resection of the pancreas, the comparative analysis of significance of different biochemical indices was carried out. A high sensitivity and informative value of measuring a content of the middle molecular mass peptides and components of kallikrein-kinin system with calculation of a toxicity coefficient permit to recommend their use as the additional diagnostic criteria.
