[Specifics of surgical correction of the oblique inguinal hernia depending on the size].

The results of surgical treatment of 257 patients aged from 10 to 50 years with the oblique inguinal hernia were analyzed. The structure of inguinal channel was studied up using anatomical dissection and measurement on 35 male cadavers aged from 12 to 60 years old. There was substantiated the expediency of surgical correction of the intrachannel and not large external oblique inguinal hernia in the presence of the three-wall-fissure-like inguinal channel using the improved method of the hernial sac mobilization from its neck.

[Epidermal growth factor stimulates protein kinase activity, specific for ribosomal protein S6 in loach embryo blastoderm].

The activity of a protein kinase specific to ribosomal protein S6 was determined in early loach embryos in basal conditions and after their treatment with epidermal growth factor (EGF). The cytosol of loach blastoderms isolated at the early gastrula stage possessed a high level of protein kinase activity catalysing incorporation of 0. 33 pmol.
