[Treatment of purulent complications after high amputation of lower extremities in diabetes mellitus patients]. / Lechenie gnoinykh oslozhnenii posle vysokikh amputatsii nizhnei konechnosti u bol'nykh sakharnym diabetom.

The authors describe results of treatment of purulent wounds after amputation of lower extremities in 10 patients with diabetes mellitus. Using daily necrectomies, ultrasonic cavitation of the wound surface, proteolytic enzymes resulted in rapid cleansing of the wounds of necrotic tissues. The early secondary sutures were put in 5 patients with active through drainage and laser irradiation of the sutured wound cavity with a conductor introduced through the drainage tube lumen. In all the cases the wounds were completely healed.

[Physico-chemical properties of pulmonary surfactant after gastrectomy and cholecystectomy]. / Fiziko-khimicheskie svoistva surfaktanta legkikh posle rezektsii zheludka i kholetsistéktomii.

The frequency of broncho-pulmonary complication after the surgery in the organs of upper part of the abdominal cavity does not decrease, although the technique of operation and methods of anaesthesia have been improved. Disorders in the functioning of the surfactant systems of the lungs are evident in patients with chronic gastric and duodenal ulcers and calculous cholecystitis. Surgical intervention and anaesthesiologic measures promote further disturbance of the functional activity of lung surfactants. The most pronounced disorders in the functioning of the surfactant systems of the lungs were observed in patients with the broncho-pulmonary complications, commonly on the third day after the operation. This condition, is one of the main pathogenic causes of the manifestation of broncho-pulmonary complications in the post-operative period.
