[Disinfection and insect control of passenger bedding by radiation exposure]. / Dezinfektsiia i dezinsektsiia radiatsionnymi sposobom postel'nykh prinadlezhnostei passazhirskikh vagonov.

Radiation exposure using gamma sources with Co-60 was employed for the disinfection and disinfection of bedding from passenger cars. An effective scheme of exposure was developed and optimal dose determined: 10 kGy.

[The echographic diagnosis of lymphangiomas of the maxillofacial area in children]. / Ekhograficheskaia diagnostika limfangiom cheliustno-litsevoi oblasti u detei.

Clinical and ultrasonic examinations of 26 patients aged 11 months to 12 years with maxillofacial lymphangiomas were carried out. Seventeen patients were operated on, and echographic findings were verified in them. The results indicate that ultrasonic examinations permit a sufficiently accurate assessment of lymphangioma morphologic structure and dissemination and help define its position in relation to significant anatomic maxillofacial and cervical structures and detect the complications in its course. High informative value of this noninvasive, available, and unsophisticated method recommend its wide use in the diagnosis of maxillofacial lymphangiomas in children.

[The effect of antiaggregants on the course of diabetic microangiopathy]. / Vliianie antiagregantov na techenie diabeticheskoi mikroangiopatii.

As shown by conjunctival biomicroscopy, 6-month administration of ticlid and gliclazide induced a statistically significant increase in the frequency of less severe microcirculatory disturbances compared to conventional hypoglycemic therapy. The drugs also restricted plasmatic impregnation and cell proliferation in skin biopsy microvascular wall. Following 2-year antiaggregation treatment (gliclazide, trental, dipiridomol) 48.9% of diabetes mellitus patients achieved regression of morphological manifestations of diabetic microangiopathy, 16.2% stabilization against 34.9% of progressive disease cases. Conventional sugar-reducing therapy fails to stop diabetic microangiopathy progression in 73.4-93.3% of the diabetics.

[The efficacy of the antiaggregants ticlid and diabeton in correcting chronic intravascular microcoagulation of the blood in diabetic patients]. / Effektivnost' antiagregantov--tiklida i diabetona v korrektsii khronicheskogo vnutrisosudistogo mikrosvertyvaniia krovi u bol'nykh sakharnym diabetom.

Hemocoagulation was examined in 477 diabetes mellitus patients. Whatever the disease type, severity, duration and the intensity of microvascular complications, diabetes mellitus was discovered to be marked by the development of chronic intravascular blood microcoagulation associated with primary hyperactivation of the platelet component of hemostasis. The use of the new antiaggregation agents tiklid and diabeton allows an appreciable decrease of the activity of platelet microthrombus formation whereas the administration of the common sugar-reducing antidiabetic therapy favours the maintenance of its high level.

[Quantitative changes of the blood serum immunoglobulins in patients with diabetes mellitus types I and II and microangiopathy detected by morphologic study]. / Kolichestvennye izmeneniia immunoglobulinov syvorotki krovi bol'nykh sakharnym diabetom I i II tipa s mikroangiopatiei, vyiavlennoi pri morfologicheskom issledovanii.

A study was made of the immunological mechanisms implicated in the evolution of diabetic microangiopathy. For this purpose in 270 patients with type I and II diabetes mellitus, the concentration of IgA, IgM and IgG was measured and compared with morphological alterations in skin biopsy specimens. The control group was made up of 30 normal persons (donors). The sections were stained with conventional methods, which made it possible to reveal by light microscopy the correlation between the intensity of diabetic microangiopathy and the rise of the IgG level.

[Results of a two-year clinico-morphological study of the natural evolution of diabetic microangiopathy and the efficacy of angioprotective therapy]. / Rezul'taty dvukhletnego kliniko-morfologicheskogo nabliudeniia za bol'nymi sakharym diabetom s estestvennym techeniem diabeticheskoi mikroangiopathii i poluchavshimi angioprotektivnuiu terapiiu.

The authors analyzed the results of a 2-year study of a course of diabetic microangiopathy on the basis of clinical tests and morphological control over microvessels of skin biopsy specimens from 61 patients with diabetes mellitus, of whom 36 regularly received coronary vasodilators (diamicron, pentoxifylline and dipyridamole). The rest of the patients (25) with diabetes mellitus were taken as controls: 10 patients were with unsatisfactory compensation of diabetes mellitus and 15 with a stable metabolic control. A possibility of stabilization and regression of diabetic microangiopathy during prolonged regular administration of coronary vasodilators was shown.
