[Indications for the lower limb amputation and its level assessment by the diabetic foot syndrome].

Results of the treatment of 639 patients with the complicated diabetic foot syndrome were analyzed. 82 patients were included in the master sample, the rest 557 patient formed the control group. Clinical picture, angiography, computed reovasography of the lower limbs and myoglobin blood level were analyzed. Needle biopsy of tibial and femoral soft tissues were performed in the main group. Algorythm for the surgical treatment volume was worked out, which allowed to decrease postoperative rehabilitation period, amputation and reamputation frequency.

[Pathologoanatomic characteristic of primary and metastatic liver carcinoma].

Results of the analysis of primary and metastatic liver carcinoma, by using autopsied specimens in Rostov-on Don over 20 years are presented. The frequency of hepatocellular carcinoma was 0.4% among the deceased and 3.8% among all malignancies. There was a 1.8-fold rise in the frequency of hepatocellular carcinoma. The increase in the frequency of liver cancer correlated with that of liver cirrhosis on the autopsy specimens. 51.7% of cases of primary liver carcinomas developed in the presence of hepatic cirrhosis of various, including viral, etiology, 14.3% did in the presence of viral hepatitis. The paper presents the results of an immunohistochemical study and characterizes the markers that permit differentiation of primary and metastatic hepatic legions.

[A comparative study of free radical-assisted processes and antioxidant protection of certain areas of liver involvement].

Light sum of chemiluminescence, concentrations of malonic dialdehyde, superoxidismutase and catalase were studied in intact liver tissue. The rate of free radical processes and super-oxidismutase level in liver metastases were lower than in intact tissue. Free radical concentration in the perifocal zone of liver metastases was lower too, which might have stimulated proliferation in metastatic foci.
