ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis was detected in 2.2% of migrants from Baku, whereas among those applying for medical and social care to the charity organization "Physicians without Boundaries" this value is 4 times higher: 8.6%. These results necessitate the development of a complex of antituberculosis measures adapted to new marginal risk groups-migrants. The principal purpose of these measures should be to make specialized medical care as available as possible for this group.

Using the RELP analysis we studied the frequency of X2 allele of apoB gene in three groups of patients: 1) men at the age of 20-59 with lipid metabolism disorders revealed in population inspection of Oktyabrsky district in Moscow; 2) men with ischaemic heart disease and 3) healthy men. It was established that in individuals suffering from type IIa hyperlipidemia the frequency of X2 allele was significantly higher than in healthy donors from Moscow population. Homozygotes for X2 allele of XbaI RELP had 7-9% higher serum cholesterol levels, than homozygotes for X1 allele. The study suggests the X2 allele of the apoB gene to be associated with the development of high plasma cholesterol level. No significant difference in X2 allele frequencies was found between patients with ischaemic heart disease and healthy donors. There was also no association found between cholesterol and triglyceride levels and the presence of X2 allele in this group of patients.

An analysis of findings of clinical and ++roentgenological examinations of 55 patients with ectopy of the anal canal prior to operation and 68 patients after correction of the defect has shown that secondary megacolon developed in proportion with the age and degree of the outlet opening stenosis and there appeared injuries of elements of the normally formed anal canal. The authors described their original many-steps operation of the formation of the anus which allows all elements of retaining feces to be preserved. The amount of good long-term results increased from 22-26% up to 75% as compared with those of operations after Stone.
