[Antioxidants in the combined treatment of acute cholecystitis in middle-aged and elderly patients].

Investigations of the state of processes of lipid peroxidation (PLP) and the antioxidant system (AOS) of the organism performed in 267 elderly and senile patients have shown destabilization of the system "PLP-AOS". The correction of processes of lipid peroxidation with antioxidants improved the course of the postoperative period, decreased the amount of complications and lethality. It allowed a conclusion of the necessity to use antioxidants in the complex treatment of such patients.

Acute Disease

[First experience in the treatment of bronchial asthma by resection of the superior laryngeal nerve].

Operations were conducted on 21 patients for bronchial asthma. Four of them suffered from the hormone-dependent form of the disease. The duration of the disease ranged from 12 months to 18 years. The operations were performed under local anesthesia through a left approach. The internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve was exposed and identified and a segment of it was resected. The immediate results were positive in 16 cases, no effect was produced in 5 patients. The positive results were confirmed by clinical data and spirometry.

[Epidural block in the surgical treatment of cholelithiasis].

The article analyses surgical treatment of patients with cholelithiasis (231 persons) who were operated on with the use of a "pure" epidural block (59 patients), epidural block in combination with surface endotracheal nitrous oxide anaesthesia (100 patients), and general many--component anaesthesia (72 patients). The results show that epidural block is an effective method of neurovegetative protection of the organism from an operative trauma, provides rapid recovery of the organism for a state of operative stress, and is conducive to reduction of the number of postoperative complications. Administration of hydrocortisone and ephedrine is expedient for the prevention of arterial hypotension and its correction.

[Differential diagnostic signs of metastases to the mediastinal lymph nodes in rats with a transplanted Walker tumor].

Density of contrast-free and contrasted mediastinal lymph nodes was studied in simulated chronic pneumonia and lung cancer using the DED-3 type digital computer in combination with the REIS-D X-ray source. Direct high (over 80 times) X-ray magnification may be used to measure lymph node density using digital print-out. This, in turn, may be employed for mathematical analysis and development of differential algorithm for computer. In cases of involvement, the higher mean density of contrast-free lymph nodes was matched by the lower one in contrasted lymph nodes, as compared with normal lymph nodes and those in chronic inflammation. Different values of lymph node tissue heterogeneity (A) and that of mean density of lymph nodes (B3) may be used to find differential algorithm for computer diagnosis of metastasis.

Upward displacement of the diaphragm after lung resection.

Upward diaphragmatic displacement was performed in 53 patients after massive lung resection for tuberculosis or bronchiectasis and the data are presented. This technique provides ample room for expansion of the remainder of the lung; it also avoids overexpansion, activation of tuberculous foci, and relapse of bronchiectasis. Diaphragamatic displacement can be used for liquidation of a remaining infected cavity. In children with massive bronchiectasis it serves to conserve two unaffected segments and avoids pneumonectomy. During pneumonectomy in children it prevents significant shift of the mediastinum and progression of scoliosis.
