ABSTRACT
The mild form of hepatitis A and B with children is attended by a functional activity of pancreatic gland (tripsin), mucous coats of stomach and duodenum (gastrin) which permits to consider them as a factor of the risk of digestive organs combined pathology starting with the disease acuity. Differences in gastrin levels with children depending on hepatitis etiology were specified. Highest levels of gastrin were observed with persons suffering from hepatitis B.

The data on the study of the clinical course of HIV infection in 127 children, 124 from these infected in nosocomial foci. The overwhelming majority of the children were infected at the period of their stay in hospitals of Elista, Volgograd, Rostov-on-Don, Shakhty (Rostov Province) and Stavropol'. At the end of 9-9.5 years elapsed since the appearance of the first documented cases of parenteral infection 33 children (26%) died. The study revealed that at the age under 1 year the course of HIV infection could rapidly progress into the stage of AIDS in the presence of aggravated premorbid background linked with the unfavorable course of pregnancy in the mother and a severe disease in the child prior to contacting HIV infection.

Gravitation influence on lung function was investigated in 115 patients and 21 healthy persons. Changing of an examinee's position from vertical into a horizontal one causes changes in lung function in health and disease. Characteristic features of lung function were determined for each group of examinees in order to improve the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of bronchial cancer and nonspecific chronic pulmonary diseases with a similar x-ray picture. A study of pulmonary ventilation and blood supply of the lungs in vertical and horizontal postures in Hodgkin's disease patients led to a conclusion that irradiation of patients seemed more effective in a phase of deep breath. It made it possible to reduce radiation exposure of healthy parts in a zone to be irradiated.
