[The use of physiotherapy and antibacterial preparations in urogenital infections]. / Primenenie fizioterapii i antibakterial'nykh preparatov pri urogenital'nykh infektsiiakh.

Antibacterial antibiotics only, antibiotics in combination with immunostimulators, antibiotics plus immunostimulators plus physiotherapy were administered in 132 patients with urethroprostatitis caused by mixed infection (18, 45 and 69 patients, respectively). A complete recovery was achieved only in patients who had been treated with the antibiotics, immunostimulators and physiotherapy. After antibiotics, residual infection was registered in 11.1% of the patients, clinical symptoms persisted in 6 patients; after antibiotics combined with immunostimulators in 6.7% and 4 patients, respectively.

[The use of the CO2 laser in the surgical treatment of benign breast diseases]. / Primenenie CO2-lazera v khirurgicheskom lechenii zabolevanii molochnoi zhelezy.

Benign diseases of the breast of a noninflammatory character are a widely encountered pathological condition. Most surgeons claim the nodular form of mastopathy to be a precancer. Sectoral resection of the breast is the only grounded and justified method for its treatment. Unfortunately, wound complications develop often in the postoperative period, which increases the duration of in-patients treatment, prolongs the period of restoration of the working capacity, and leads to the formation of coarse scars which disfigure the breast. Dissatisfaction with the results is also explained by the development of a recurrence in a certain percent of cases. The results of treatment in 2 groups of patients were compared: patients of the main group (group 1) were operated on with the use of the CO2-laser, those of the control group (group 2) were operated on by the traditional method. Analysis of the results of treatment shows that the modified method of sectoral resection has advantages over the traditional method and can therefore be recommended for wide introduction into clinical practice.

[Morphology of the reparative processes after the arrest of gastric hemorrhages using various lasers]. / Morfologiia reparativnykh protsessov posle ostanovki zheludochnykh krovotechenii s pomoshch'iu razlichnykh lazerov.

Morphological changes in the stomach of 40 heparinized dogs with acute gastric hemorrhages from experimental ulcers and 22 patients with acute gastrointestinal hemorrhages were studied immediately and at remote intervals after laser photocoagulations performed by continuous laser irradiation. After laser irradiation, typical changes in morphological structures developed and were accompanied by the appearance at the site of the bleeding ulcers of coagulation necrosis and coagulative thrombi of arrosive arteries conducive to hemostasis. Laser wounds healed with the formation of aseptic productive inflammation without considerable inflammatory infiltration and edema of the adjacent tissues. Reparation of the mucous membrane ends by 30--45 days after coagulation with regeneration of the muscular layer of the mucosa and without any scar in the submucous layer.
