[Echinococcosis of the heart].

Basic clinical and special methods of diagnosis of cardiac echinococcosis are described. Among 12 patients with cardiac echinococcosis 5 patients have been operated and 7 patients have been not. Five of seven non-operated patients died during 1 year due to disruption of the cysts. All 5 operated patients survived. It is demonstrated that surgical treatment should be performed with artificial extracorporeal circulation, and postoperative anti-recurrent anti-helminth therapy is mandatory. Medication before surgical procedures is contraindicated because it leads to cysts disruption with high risk of lethal outcome.

[Single-photon emission computed tomography in diagnosis of left ventricular post-infarction aneurysm].

AIM: To assess value of single-photon emission computed tomography with (99m)Tc-sestamibi ((99m)Tc MIBI SPECT) for detection of post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm in patients with coronary artery disease. MATERIAL: Fifty nine patients were operated upon because of coronary heart disease. In 27 patients with post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm modified Dor operation (aneurysmectomy with endoventricular circular patch plasty reconstruction) was performed. In 24 patients with extended cardiosclerosis direct myocardial revascularization was conducted. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Comparison of (99m)Tc MIBI SPECT data obtained at rest and during dobutamine stress test revealed some diagnostic features characteristic of patients with left ventricular post-infarction aneurysm. Quantitative and qualitative assessment of viability of myocardium in basal and "borderline" zones influenced not only the volume of revascularization, it was important for preliminary determination of post-infarction left ventricular aneurysm resection level, selection of type of plasty, prognostication of complications in immediate and remote postoperative periods.

[Prognosis of outcome of radical surgery in patients with lung cancer associated with severe complications and concurrent diseases].

From 1981 to 2001 (20 years) 1307 patients with lung cancer underwent surgery. Postoperative lethality was 1.7% (after 635 pneumonectomies it was 2.4%, after 672 lob- and bilobectomies--1.2%). Medical histories of 171 operated patients with severe concomitant diseases was studied to analyze surgical outcomes depending on such important factors as age, concomitant diseases, surgical trauma. It is demonstrated that age of patients is not a factor of postoperative prognosis, but concomitant diseases and surgical trauma (i.e. pneumonectomy) are important factors of it. Results of surgery in the group of patients with four and more concomitant diseases after pneumonectomy were most unfavorable (lethality was 22.9%). In less severe surgical trauma (lobectomy) results of surgery were more favorable. It is concluded that surgery in patients with a lot of concomitant diseases must be less radical to obtain lower lethality. Radicality of treatment in these patients is ensured due to complex chemo- and radiation therapy after surgery.

[Intravascular photohemotherapy in the complex prophylaxis of purulent-septic complications after coronary shunting].

The article presents results of treatment of 78 patients with the history of coronary bypass operations for ischemic heart disease. There were 48 patients with high risk factors of the development of pyo-septic complications. Among them there were 27 patients treated by complex postoperative therapy including intravascular photomodification of blood. The intravascular irradiation of blood was shown to have a positive influence upon the development of the early postoperative period in this category of patients. The immunomodulating effect was noted due to a greater amount of activated lymphocytes and T-helpers in blood. The positive dynamics of immunological indices were in correspondence with the data of the clinical state, pyo-inflammatory complications were not registered in this group of patients. Early (on the 3rd-5th days) inclusion of the intravascular irradiation of blood in the complex postoperative therapy is thought to be expedient for the patients with high risk of pyo-inflammatory complications.

Analysis of ethanol-glucose mixtures by two microbial sensors: application of chemometrics and artificial neural networks for data processing.

Although biosensors based on whole microbial cells have many advantages in terms of convenience, cost and durability, a major limitation of these sensors is often their inability to distinguish between different substrates of interest. This paper demonstrates that it is possible to use sensors entirely based upon whole microbial cells to selectively measure ethanol and glucose in mixtures. Amperometric sensors were constructed using immobilized cells of either Gluconobacter oxydans or Pichia methanolica. The bacterial cells of G. oxydans were sensitive to both substrates, while the yeast cells of P. methanolica oxidized only ethanol. Using chemometric principles of polynomial approximation, data from both of these sensors were processed to provide accurate estimates of glucose and ethanol over a concentration range of 1.0-8.0 mM (coefficients of determination, R(2)=0.99 for ethanol and 0.98 for glucose). When data were processed using an artificial neural network, glucose and ethanol were accurately estimated over a range of 1.0-10.0 mM (R(2)=0.99 for both substrates). The described methodology extends the sphere of utility for microbial sensors.

[Renal lesions in elderly patients with diabetes mellitus].

AIM: To elucidate the role of some renal diseases, pyelonephritis in particular, in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The trial included 150 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 aged over 60 years with DM duration 16.6 +/- 7.8 years. All the patients underwent general clinical examination, Reberg-Tareev test, urine seeding, renal ultrasonography. RESULTS: The diagnoses associated with renal pathology were made in 75% of patients, the specific renal parenchymal damage (diabetic nephropathy-DN) proper was much less common (73 patients with type 2 DM). 16 of them were found to have chronic renal failure. The concurrent abnormalities included pyelonephritis (21%), urolithiasis (14%), renal cysts (19%), their combination (43%). Concomitant pyelonephritis had the most significant impact on renal function. Essential hypertension occurred in 65% of patients. CONCLUSION: In old age, renal damage specific for DM develops in the presence of pyelonephritis, cystic degeneration of the parenchyma, involutional processes, atherosclerotic and hypertensive arteriolosclerosis.

[The surgical treatment of postinfarct aneurysms of the left ventricle].

Operations for ischemic heart disease complicated by the appearance of postinfarction left ventricular aneurysm were fulfilled on 94 patients. The modified operation after V. Dor used in 55 patients allowed fulfilling interventions on the damaged parts of the interventricular septum excluding the application of foreign patches. Intrahospital lethality was 7.6%.

[A postinfarct heart aneurysm: its removal or revascularization?].

A conclusion about the hemodynamic significance of aneurysm having the area of more than 30% of the left ventricle surface is made on the basis of an analysis of the pre- and post-operative parameters of the myocardium contractility and hemodynamic indices in 49 patients with postinfarction aneurysm of the left ventricle (main group) and 26 patients with ischemic heart disease without this complication (control group). Formation of the syndrome of chronic insufficiency of blood circulation in hemodynamically insignificant aneurysm results from ischemia of the myocardium, rather than the aneurysm as such. Improvement of blood supply to the myocardium as a result of its revascularization in such patients led to normalization of the left ventricle geometry.

[Sinus node function, sinoatrial and atrial conduction and the nature of the course of supraventricular heart rate disorders in IHD patients before and after aortocoronary bypass].

Selective coronarography, assessment of hemodynamics, sinus node function, sinoatrial and intraatrial conduction were performed in 53 coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with supraventricular arrhythmia. The severity of cardiac rhythm paroxysms was evaluated at transesophageal pacing by measurements of arrhythmia induction frequency threshold. 29 patients underwent aortocoronary shunting. No relationships were found between the pattern of arrhythmia, degree of stenosis, number of coronary lesions. Aortocoronary bypass changed neither pattern nor severity of supraventricular arrhythmia.
