[Clinical-metabolic data base on chronic generalized parodontitis].

As the result of clinical-lab study of 40 oral fluid parameters in 176 patients new block of data was received disclosing key pathogenetic links of chronic generalized parodontitis (CGP) to which could be attributed endocrine dysfunction with cortisol level reduction and free thyroid hormones increase, enforcing prooxidant processes with multiple iron content increase. As the result of it molecules of medium mass were accumulated; protein spectrum, protein coupling capacity, content of collagenous C-peptide, osteocalcine, Ca, P and Mg were changing. In comprehensive CGP treatment due to Natursyl (lipophilic fraction of holy thistle) applications the disease clinical signs disappeared quicker and biochemical markers normalized.

[Metabolic prerequisites for the development of dental diseases in pneumonia].

The parameters of oral homeostasis were studied in patients with acute pneumonia before and after therapy. The redox potential, a shift of pH towards the acid values, decreased content of total protein, total and effective concentrations and reserve of albumin binding, and a drastic increase of toxicity index were detected. Analysis of oral fluid showed increased level of ionized calcium, nitrate anion, and decreased content of magnesium and ammonium cations.

[Neurohumoral regulation during balneotherapy of children with diffuse thyroid enlargement].

Spectral analysis of cardiac rhythm registered neurohumoral rearrangements which indicated differences in activity of regulatory mechanisms in children with diffuse enlargement of the thyroid. This activity varied with the size of the thyroid, age of patients, special effects of sodium-chloride (mineralization 20 and 40 g/l) and iodobromine baths. Indications and contraindications are specified to administration of these factors in diffuse thyroid enlargement of the first and second degree.

[The diagnostic importance of antibodies to the cell wall peptidoglycan of Staphylococcus in the blood serum of children with a staphylococcal infection].

High titers of antibodies to peptidoglycan of staphylococcus aureus were found in children with purulent-inflammatory diseases of staphylococcal etiology. This may be used for the diagnosis of staphylococcal infection.

[Computed tomography in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer].

In order to study the potentialities of computerized tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer and assessment of its spreading, 107 patients (subsequently operated on) were investigated. CT of the colon was performed against a background of a contrast study per os, CT of the rectum was performed against a background of inserting a thin wall latex balloon and rated inflation of it with air. Comparison of the results of this investigation with operative findings led to a description of CT semeiotics of colorectal cancer, and a study of the signs of spreading to various organs and structures as well as of metastatic involvement of the regional lymph nodes and liver.
