[Minimally invasive treatment of a giant pancreatic pseudocyst]. / Maloinvazivnoe lechenie gigantskoi infitsirovannoi psevdokisty podzheludochnoi zhelezy.

The authors present minimally invasive treatment of a giant infected pancreatic pseudocyst. Throughout in-hospital period, the patient underwent endosonography-guided transgastric drainage of the pseudocyst, 7 endoscopic debridement of the cavity with sequestrectomy, laparoscopy for enzymatic peritonitis and external percutaneous drainage of the pseudocyst. Effectiveness of minimally invasive treatment was assessed considering laboratory data (CRP, white blood cell count), clinical data (hyperthermia, complaints) and follow-up ultrasound and computed tomography data (cyst dimension, sequestration). We observed with positive dynamics with decrease of intoxication syndrome, serum CRP and white blood cell count after two debridement procedures. After the seventh endoscopic debridement and sequestrectomy, granulations occurred in the cyst cavity and there was no further sequestration. At discharge, CT revealed dry residual small cavity 1.5×3 cm. There were no any complaints.

[Types of immune response in advanced suppurative peritonitis]. / Tipy immunnogo reagirovaniya pri rasprostranennom gnoinom peritonite (s kommentariem).

AIM: to assess types of immune response in patients with advanced suppurative peritonitis and course of disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We examined 79 patients with acute surgical abdominal diseases and injuries complicated by advanced suppurative peritonitis. Blood immunological parameters were estimated using flowing cytometry and enzyme immunoassay. RESULTS: It was concluded that functional parameters of immune system are very various in patients with advanced suppurative peritonitis. Cluster analysis defined 4 immune types which are determined by different state of congenital and acquired immunity. Immunodeficient and unreactive immune types are unfavorable. Immune types with activation of congenital and acquired immunity are the most favourable. This stratification personifies diagnosis and treatment of immune disorders in patients with advanced suppurative peritonitis.

[Prevention and treatment of post-traumatic pancreatic necrosis in patients with blunt abdominal trauma].

INTRODUCTION: High incidence of necrotic and suppurative complications is feature of acute post-traumatic pancreatitis. Severe trauma of the pancreas and post-traumatic pancreatitis lead to depressurization of ductal system that requires adequate drainage of damaged area and retroperitoneal fat. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 95 patients in group 1 received standardized treatment. The victims of the 2nd group (44 patients) were treated using immunoreactive therapy (roncoleukin) and octreotide (the dose depended on the severity of pancreatitis) at early stages. The efficacy of treatment was assessed based on clinical, laboratory and instrumental parameters. RESULTS: Regardless severity of pancreatic injury overall mortality in groups 1 and 2 was 41% and 20.5% respectively. The main causes of adverse outcomes are severe destructive pancreatitis, postnecrotic suppurative complications. CONCLUSION: Adequacy rather radicalism of surgery should be preferred for blunt pancreatic trauma management. Minimally invasive surgical techniques and new methods of biological hemostasis may be applied. Timely use of anti-enzymatic and immunoactive therapy reduces the risk of severe post-traumatic pancreatitis, suppurative complications and improves outcomes in patients with blunt pancreatic trauma.

[Possibilities of treatment of external pancreatic fistula].

Evaluation of the efficacy of sekretoliticeskoj therapy with synthetic analogue of somatostatin, a short-acting oktreotid (group 1) and extended oktreotid-depo (group 2) in 24 patients with external pancreatic fistulas after destructive pancreatitis. Results of clinical studies have shown that against the backdrop of an analogue of somatostatin-depo true healing and purulent-necrotic pancreatic external fistula occurs in less time: average 19 ± 1.8, and 16.2 ± 1.2 day observations, respectively.

[Modern opportunities of abdominal sanation during the generalized purulent peritonitis].

Results of the treatment of generalized purulent peritonitis in 30 patients are presented. Based on the analysis of the performance of integrated assessment scales severity of the condition, the dynamics of change of bacterial contamination and microbiological landscape, and analysis of morbidity and mortality proved the effectiveness of intraperitoneal administration of the solution of dioxidin in patients with generalized purulent peritonitis.

[Lymphocyte metabolism in patients with acute pancreatitis with different genotypes of GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes].

In this study, we have investigated correlation between enzymatic activity of NAD(P)-dependent dehydrogenases of lymphocytes and polymorphic variants of glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1) and T1 (GSTT1) genes in the group of unrelated patients with acute pancreatitis in comparison with healthy Russians from Krasnoyarsk. Thus, genotype GSTM1 0/0 is the marker of predisposition to the acute pancreatitis, wheras polymorphism of the GSTT1 gene is not involved in the development of the pancreatitis, at least in our group. The bioluminescence analysis showed statistically significant decrease of the levels of G3PD, NAD(+)MDH and the increase of NADH(+)LDH, NAD(+)GDH, NADH(+)GDH in lymphocytes of pancreatic group. Development of pancreatitis in patients with different genotypes GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes showed the rearrangement of the basic intracellular processes: dominance of a plastic metabolism in the patients with GSTM1--deletions and predominance of energetic processes at GSTT1 0 - pancreatitis.
