[The work of the Department of Clinical Laboratory Diagnosis of the Ukrainian Institute for Advanced Medical Education over a period of 60 years]. / Rabota kafedry klinicheskoi laboratornoi diagnostiki Ukrainskogo instituta usovershenstvovaniia vrachei v techenie 60 let.

The author reviews the training and research activities of the Chair over the 60 years of its existence and the contributions of the scientists who have worked there. Special attention is given to the activities of one of the heads of the Chair, Professor A. Ya. Althauzen (1890-1960), whose birth centennial was remembered in 1990.

[Cytologic diagnosis of thyroid gland adenoma and goiter]. / Tsitologicheskaia diagnostika adenomy i zoba shchitovidnoi zhelezy.

Examinations of smear impressions of postoperative biopsy specimens of the thyroid from adenoma patients have revealed among polygonal structures 1 to 20 spherical complexes (per micropreparation) consisting of relatively monomorphic follicular cells with intensively blue cytoplasm. The 'ball' size was 200-900 micron or more. Cellular composition, specific features of cellular structure, and the presence of spherical structures permit differentiating adenoma from goiter.

[Quantitative immunomorphological criteria in the diagnosis of thyroid diseases]. / Kolichestvennye immunomorfologicheskie kriterii diagnostiki zabolevanii shchitovidnoi zhelezy.

Quantitative assessment of the degree of pronouncement of lymphoid infiltration in the micropreparations of the thyroid gland (TG) allows to define the index of lymphoid infiltration according to which autoimmune reactions and autoimmune diseases can be differentiated. Similar reaction of stroma in cancer, nodular and mixed euthyroid, goiter and TG adenoma permits to consider the patients with nodular goiter as a group of risk for the development of cancer.
