[The late results of using fixed dentures made of stainless steel with a titanium nitride-based finish coating]. / Otdalennye rezul'taty primeneniia nes''emnykh protezov iz nerzhaveiushchei stali s dekorativnym pokrytiem na osnove nitrida titana.

Forty-four patients fitted with fixed dentures made of stainless steel with TiN-based decorative coating were followed up for 2 years. Abrasion of the decorative coating at the site of the crown contact with the basis and clammers of plate dentures and at the site of cutting edges of frontal teeth was recorded in 11 (25 percent) subjects. Measurements of the electric potentials have revealed their essential increase in the patients fitted with dentures with TiN-based coating vs. those with dentures made of gold and steel.

[Exocrine function of the pancreas in children]. / Sostoianie vneshnesekretornoi funktsii podzheludochnoi zhelezy u detei.

Thirty-three children were followed up. There were 14 girls and 7 boys with constitutional-exogenous obesity and 12 normal children. To study proteolytic function of the pancreas, the activity of trypsin was determined by the Erlanger method modified by V.A. Shaternikov and that of its inhibitor in the blood serum by the Haverback et al. method modified by V.A. Shaternikov . Activation of trypsin and its inhibitor, depending on the degree of obesity was discovered. Activation of trypsin inhibitor points to the preservation of the compensatory possibilities of the pancreas in children with constitutional-exogenous obesity. Therefore, it is desirable that a complex of different measures should include wise dietetics promoting the normalization of disturbed processes in pathology under consideration.

[Changes in the proteolytic enzyme activity of the blood against the background of a high-protein diet in children with pancreatitis]. / Izmenenie aktivnosti proteoliticheskikh fermentov syvorotki krovi na fone diety s povyshennym soderzhaniem belka u detei, bol'nykh pankreatitom.

Fifty-one children aged 5 to 14 years suffering from pancreatic diseases received the diet enriched with protein. The control group included 44 children of the same age with analogous pathology. These children were kept on the diet with common protein content. The dietetic treatment lasted 3 weeks. The effect of the high-protein diet on pancreatic function was evaluated from the time course of the activity of blood serum proteolytic enzymes (trypsin, trypsin inhibitor, elastase). The data obtained suggest that in case of administering the high-protein diet to children with inflammatory pancreatic diseases one should consider the stage of the inflammatory process and compensatory potentialities of the pancreas.

[Change in proteolytic enzymatic activity in the blood serum in children with chronic diseases of the digestive organs]. / Izmenenie aktivnosti nekotorykh proteoliticheskikh fermentov v syvorotke krovi u detei s khronicheskimi zabolevaniiami organov pishchevareniia.

The activity of trypsin, common trypsin inhibitor and elastase was evaluated in the blood serum of children with chronic diseases of the digestive organs. The activity of trypsin and its inhibitor was shown to be elevated in most children with both concomitant pancreatitis and without it. Increased activity of the trypsin inhibitor reflects a positive compensatory response of the body to excess trypsin supply to the blood. The activity of serum elastase rises only with exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis.

[Characteristics of the molecular diversities of human and rat aldolase via starch and agar gel electrophoresis]. / Kharakteristika molekuliarnykh raznovidnostei al'dolazy cheloveka i krysy s pomoshch'iu élektroforeza na krakhmal'nom i agarovom geliakh.

Content of aldolase isoenzymes was reinvestigated in human and rat tissues by means of agar and starch gel electrophoresis. Heterogeneity of the A type aldolase is established and possible causes of formation of the multiple forms of the enzyme are discussed. The ratio of various fractions of aldolase A was different in erythrocytes of newborn and aldult persons. The patterns of the aldolase isozyme spectra were characterized in blood sera of newborns, in acute hepatitis and myocardial infarction.
