[The catalase activity and lipid peroxidation of donor blood under ultraviolet irradiation]. / Katalaznaia aktivnost' i perekisnoe okislenie lipidov donorskoi krovi pri ul'trafioletovom obluchenii.

Under study were catalase activity and indicators of lipid peroxidation (LP) of donor blood exposed to different doses of UV irradiation. Doses lower than 630 J/m2 were found to activate catalase and to inhibit LP while doses higher than 630 J/m2 inhibited catalase activity and activated LP. The indicators of LP have confirmed that therapeutic doses of UV-irradiated blood were nontoxic. The most optimal therapeutic dose of irradiation (630 J/m2) was determined.

[Local oxygen therapy combined with ultraviolet irradiation of the suppurative wounds in lactation mastitis]. / Mestnaia oksigenoterapiia v sochetanii s ul'trafioletovym oblucheniem gnoinykh ran pri laktatsionnom mastite.

A method of local oxygenation of wounds of the mammary glands in combination with UV irradiation with the help of the device proposed by the authors was used in the complex treatment of 72 patients with purulent lactation mastitis. The curative effect resulted from a considerable elevation of oxygen saturation of the mammary gland tissues which reduced tissue hypoxia, better microcirculation which results in the accelerated process of regeneration of the wounds. UV irradiation exerts bactericidal effect on microflora of the wounds.

[Ultraviolet irradiation of blood in surgery]. / Ultrafioletovoe obluchenie krovi v khirurgii.

The results of complex treatment of 81 patients with pyoinflammatory diseases with the use of blood ultraviolet irradiation are discussed. A marked clinical effect was noted, the terms of treatment reduced by 5-10 days, the outcomes improved, and the number of complications decreased. Irradiation of autologous blood by ultraviolet rays led to modulation of the indices of antimicrobial protection, increase of the intensity of the histochemical reaction to peroxidase up to 40-50%, and diminution of pH in the neutrophil phagosomes to 5.0. The ultrastructure and ability of thrombocytes to store serotonin were restored, and intensity of their metabolic processes increased, the membrane phospholipid composition changed, and juvenile platelet forms appeared.

[Surgical anatomy of the vagus nerves in the vagotomy aspect]. / Khirurgicheskaia anatomiia bluzhdaiushchikh nervov v aspekte vagotomii.

The surgical anatomy of vagus nerves was studied in 25 corpses and in protocols of operations-vagotomies in patients with ulcer disease of the duodenum. The authors consider incomplete vagotomy to be responsible for insufficiently decreased secretion of hydrochloric acid after operation in 24 (23.1%) of 104 patients examined. It was found that both the right and the left vagus nerves had different numbers of trunks and branches. The knowledge of variants of branching and disposition of the vagus nerve branches decreases the risk of incomplete and inadequate vagotomy.

[Dispensary treatment and surgical actions in goiter]. / Dispanserizatsiia i khirurgicheskaia aktivnost' pri zobe

An efficacy of antistruma measures in the Mordovian ASSR was estimated. It is noted that prophylactic surveys of the population for recognition of struma patients would contribute to their early dispensarization, provide the conditions for a timely conducted drug therapy and enhance surgical activity in this affection.
