ABSTRACT
Under observation there were 84 patients with pseudocysts of the pancreas, in 12 of them the main diagnostic method was ultrasonic echolocation. The differential diagnosis between the cyst and tumor was sometimes difficult. The most characteristic sign of the disintegrating tumor was a considerable and irregular thickening of the wall of the cavitary formation found. In four cases repeated ultrasonic examinations in dynamics made it possible to register the involution of pseudocysts which took place within 3-4 weeks after the onset of the disease.

Japan cucumaria possesses an inhibitory action on the solid Ehrlich adenocarcinoma. The optimum dose, 15000 mg/kg, is established which provides a 46.49% of the growth inhibiting. The delay of the malignant process development is followed by normalization on phospholipid metabolism in the liver of tumour-bearing mice: the contents of phosphatidylcholine reached the normal level, the contents of sphingomyelin decreased, a portion of lysophosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylethanolamine was considerably reduced. The results obtained show that certain doses of cucumaria improve metabolic processes in the liver.

The content of T- and B-lymphocytes was studied in the blood of 72 patients with gastric ulcer and carcinoma. The amount of complete T- and B-lymphocytes and incomplete B-lymphocytes was found to dramatically decrease in patients with peptic ulcer and gastric carcinoma with distant metastases. The authors believe that the data obtained could be used in addition to others when choosing the specific treatment of patients with gastric carcinoma in the postoperative period.
