[Patho- and morphogenesis of pyo-inflammatory diseases of the adnexa uteri].

The uterine appendages in 87 females aged from 17 to 53 years were surgically removed because of inefficacy of conservative treatment for purulent inflammation. There were signs of chronic recurrent inflammation in the uterine tubes or in the tubes and ovaries as shown by the operative material studied light and electron microscopically, immunomorphologically. Immune mechanisms as well as structural changes (reduction, vasculitis) of the vascular bed and muscular layer (sclerosis) of the tubes played a role in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammation.

[Immune system response in pneumonia in children during the first year of life].

Lung, immune organs, hypophysis and adrenals of 74 children aged from 1 month to 1 year who died from acute pneumonia are studied. It is found that fatal pneumonia in one-year-old children developed as a rule against the grave premorbid background. Late hospitalization resulted in death of 47% of the patients within first 24 hrs after admission to hospital.

[An analysis of diagnostic discrepancies due to subjective factors in the clinics of Moscow].

Discrepancies between clinical and pathological diagnoses (classes 1-3) attributed to subjective factors have been analyzed for the period 1981-1985. The investigation pooled the data from three largest Moscow hospitals: S. P.

[Morphology of the lesser circulation during programmed hemodialysis and the transplantation of a human cadaveric kidney].

The results of program-controlled hemodialysis (PCH) and cadaver kidney transplantation (CKT) were evaluated morphologically using 36 sections obtained from patients with end-stage chronic renal failure. For PCH-treated patients the findings indicated development of mixed secondary hypertension of the lungs associated with atherosclerotic involvement of the pulmonary artery and its branches, arteriolar rearrangements and visceral angiosclerosis. Morphologically, a successful CKT outcome resulted in late postoperative (in the time interval of 5 months--4.
